Early in the morning, the sky was gray.
At a moment when no one noticed, Mina left silently.
No goodbyes, no attachments.
To her, meeting was fate, and parting was just the norm; there was no need for many words.
The warriors of Amazon Lily had custom-made a massive, 120-meter-long surfboard for her, which became her only luggage for setting sail.
Standing on the vast, boundless sea, Mina stepped on this massive surfboard, feeling the flow of the seawater beneath her feet, and a wildly excited smile appeared on her face.
“Woohoo!
Let’s go!” With a cheer, the cluster of golden-red flames behind her erupted suddenly, like a rocket booster, propelling the surfboard forward at a speed of 150 nautical miles per hour.
White waves surged on both sides of the surfboard, leaving two long wakes behind.
Not long after, Mina was completely having a blast.
She spread her arms, performing various high-difficulty moves on the surfboard, sometimes sprinting against the crest of the waves, sometimes executing a beautiful drift, carving perfect arcs across the sea surface.
Soon, simple surfing could no longer satisfy her.
When a super-large Sea King with a body length of over a kilometer roared and emerged from the waters ahead, two little stars instantly popped up in Mina’s eyes.
“Oh boy, isn’t this a free power source that just showed up?” Before the Sea King could open its gaping maw, Mina had already stepped on the waves, her figure instantly appearing above its head, and then she ruthlessly slammed a fist down.
“Boom—!” With a muffled thud, this deep-sea overlord was instantly beaten senseless, seeing stars.
“From now on, you are my ship!
Pull the board behind you and run, did you hear me?
If your speed is slow, I’ll roast you and eat you!” Mina rode on the Sea King’s neck, threatening it fiercely.
Although the Sea King couldn’t understand human language, the intense pain from that fist, along with the terrifying aura that made its soul tremble, made it instantly understand the intent of the creature before it.
How could it dare to disobey?
It could only aggrievedly use its whiskers to pull the massive surfboard, swimming forward with all its might.
Just like that, Mina possessed the world’s one-and-only “Sea King-powered surfboard.” She lay leisurely on the surfboard, crossing her legs, enjoying the thrill of high-speed travel, occasionally grabbing some strange-looking big fish from the sea to eat raw as snacks.
And the Sea King she enslaved had suffering it couldn’t voice.
If it swam even a little slower, it would be met with a merciless beating, leaving it dizzy and disoriented.
Under such extreme exploitation, it only took one day and one night for them to speed out of the calm, windless Calm Belt.
When the first whiff of salty, fishy sea breeze blew across her face, Mina knew she had arrived at the real Grand Line.
And just at this moment, her stomach growled inopportunely.
“Grumble—” A strong sense of hunger welled up in her heart.
Mina sat up, subconsciously casting her green-glowing eyes toward the Sea King mount ahead, which was already so tired it was rolling its eyes.
That gaze was filled with undisguised appetite.
Almost the instant it was stared at, the Sea King’s massive body shuddered; a fear originating from the depths of its soul made it instantly sober up.
It felt that the gaze of the female devil behind it wanted to eat it.
Thus, under the instinct for survival, it let out bursts of pleading wails, its massive head shaking incessantly, trying to elicit sympathy.
“Sigh, forget it, forget it.
At least you’ve kept me company for a day.” Watching its pitiful appearance, Mina ultimately couldn’t bear it, waving her hand while swallowing her drool.
“I’m going to close my eyes and count to three.
If you dare let me see you again, I’ll take you for dinner!
Did you understand?” She closed her eyes and shouted loudly.
“One!” “Three!!” Before the words were even finished.
That Sea King, which had originally been exhausted, didn’t know where it found the potential energy, but it suddenly whipped its tail, and its massive body, like an arrow released from a bow, dove headfirst into the deep sea.
That speed was thirty percent faster than when it was pulling the surfboard, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
“Tch, consider yourself lucky you ran fast.” Mina pursed her lips, put away the surfboard, and swam to a nearby uninhabited island.
Using Observation Haki to scan, she quickly found a dozen beasts over twenty meters long in the island’s jungle.
She didn’t stand on ceremony, quickly knocking them all down in a few moves, then dragged them to the side of an active volcano crater in the center of the island.
Inside the massive crater, magma churned and heat steamed, making it an excellent natural pot.
Mina threw the processed beast meat chunks into the crater all at once, then found various edible giant fungi and plants and threw them in too.
In no time, a pot of fragrant “volcano magma hot pot” was ready.
She sat by the crater, humming a little tune while feasting, eating with great delight.
Full of food and drink, a hot current suddenly surged in her lower abdomen.
But this time, she didn’t create a “Yellow River” on land, but jumped directly into the sea.
“Splash—” The scalding hot current surged into the cold seawater, instantly causing a large amount of white steam to rise, turning the sea area around her into an ethereal, fairyland-like hot spring.
After taking care of her physiological needs and having a comfortable hot bath, Mina didn’t care about her image, lying directly on a patch of open grass on the island, and soon began snoring loudly, falling into a deep sleep.
Two days later.
When Mina woke from her slumber and continued her sea voyage, a massive island appeared on the horizon in the distance.
It was an ancient island filled with a primitive atmosphere, covered with all kinds of prehistoric plants and giant dinosaurs.
However, what was most eye-catching was the two massive figures in the center of the island, who were engaged in an intense battle.
They were the targets of this trip, two giants!
Two giants, both over twenty meters tall, were engaged in a duel to the death.
One of them had long blue hair and held a massive longsword; it was “Blue Ogre” Dorry.
The other had Red Hair and held a massive battle axe; it was “Red Ogre” Brogy.
“Fight for honor!” Their roars were like thunder, and every collision of their weapons left a deep trench in the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
“Brogy!
Give up!
Today’s victory belongs to me!” Dorry roared, swinging his sword down.
“Dream on!
Gahahahaha!” Brogy laughed wildly, raising his axe to meet the attack.
The sword and axe collided again, erupting in blinding sparks.
The two were deadlocked, and the ground beneath their feet cracked inch by inch.
Just at this moment, the two seemed to notice something at the same time, stopping their movements in unison and looking up at the sky.
Without knowing when, the sky had been stained a strange, crimson red.
A massive “meteorite” burning with raging flames, dragging a long tail of fire, tore through the clouds and plummeted directly toward their location with an earth-destroying posture!
“That…
what is that damn thing?!” Expressions of horror appeared on Dorry and Brogy’s faces simultaneously.
And at the core of that “meteorite,” Mina straightened one leg, striking a classic Rider Kick pose.
Her massive body rubbed against the atmosphere, igniting golden-red flames.
She looked down at the two dumbfounded “little guys” below, her mouth splitting into an ostentatious smile, and she let out an extremely arrogant, wild laugh.
“Leo Kick!” “Hahahahaha—!!
Take this!!”
