Phoenix Reborn In One Piece-Chapter 183 - : The Gods of Water Appear!

Early the next morning.

Ryuen was still half-asleep when Nami yanked him out of bed.

She had plans to draw a map of the area today.

As for the climate and other factors, she would wait until the Gods of Water arrived to study them further.

Before long, everyone had gathered in the dining hall, and Anya had prepared a big breakfast for them.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

No one held back—they all dug in.

"By the way, Robin, how's your Haki training going?" Ryuen suddenly asked.

Hearing Ryuen's question, everyone else also looked up.

"Hmm~~~"

"Not bad. I've figured out how to train Haki now, so you guys don't need to worry," Robin said with a smile.

Ryuen nodded and didn't say anything more.

As the captain, he usually didn't interfere in other matters, but when it came to training, he always paid close attention.

He hadn't forgotten what Guy-sensei used to say: "Haki is above all."

Kaido had also proven it—if your Haki was strong enough, you could become a top fighter even without a Devil Fruit.

Thankfully, after Ryuen drilled this idea into their heads over and over, no one slacked off in their Haki training.

Take Kuina, for example. She was determined to strengthen Wado Ichimonji with Haki and turn it into a black blade, no matter what.

After breakfast, everyone set out together.

As they walked through the streets of the city center, Ryuen suddenly realized there wasn't really a need for so many people.

Thinking this was a good chance to slip away, he started looking for an opportunity.

"Hey!"

"Ahhh—"

"Nami, what are you doing? You're too old to be making me carry you!"

Nami had jumped onto Ryuen's back in one swift motion. Ryuen, already used to this, instinctively held onto her so she wouldn't fall.

The rest of the Dream Crew held back their laughter. This was something only Nami would do, and only Nami would dare to do it.

"Hmm?"

"Ryuen, are you not happy with me or something? Hurry up, let's get to the highest fountain in the central island first." Nami's voice carried a clear threat.

"Alright, alright~~"

"Why would I be unhappy? I wish I could enjoy this kind of treatment every day. Hold on tight."

The next moment, Ryuen steadied himself, and as soon as they reached an empty alley, they leaped at teleportation speed.

Before long, everyone had reached the highest fountain in the central street. This was the highest point in the Water Capital, offering a full view of the city.

Nami patted Ryuen's shoulder and didn't seem to mind him taking advantage of her just now. Then, she signaled for him to put her down.

"It looks amazing! Look, there are even fish in the water here," Anya said, pointing at the massive hot spring pool.

"You're right~~~"

"These fish are so dumb, getting sucked all the way up here," Daisy said with a sparkle in her eyes.

Nami didn't waste any more time. She opened a space portal and took out the tools she had stored inside. The others followed suit, grabbing their own gear.

After working together for so long, everyone knew exactly what they needed to do.

As they got to work, people on the island started noticing what was happening at the highest fountain in the central street. More and more voices of amazement filled the air.

Inside his office, Iceburg heard the commotion and walked over to the window. When he recognized the voices, he turned his gaze toward the highest fountain.

"So that's what's going on. No wonder there's such a stir...," Iceburg muttered as he spotted the figures at the top.

After thinking for a moment, he immediately sent someone to make an announcement across the city, broadcasting to everyone that there was no need to worry. The Dream Exploration Team was simply creating a sea map.

With Iceburg's announcement, the entire Water Capital became even more lively.

Before this, people with face blindness might not have realized the Dream Exploration Team had arrived. But now, thanks to the announcement, everyone knew.

After all, the Dream Exploration Team was incredibly famous now.

Even putting aside the sea maps they had released earlier, just their recent efforts to support orphanages had earned them universal respect.

In an era where people struggled to get enough food and clothing, the Dream Exploration Team had provided massive supplies to orphanages, ensuring that orphans across the seas wouldn't go hungry. Even pirates couldn't help but admire such kindness.

Hearing the cheers from all over the city, the Dream Exploration Team members couldn't help but feel happy.

Of course, both mapping the sea and taking full responsibility for the orphanages were things they did with a purpose.

But that didn't mean they couldn't enjoy the praise that came with it.

Besides, they had no guilt about it—this was something they deserved. And no one questioned that.

To avoid causing an even bigger spectacle, the Dream Crew sped up their work.

But at one point, Nami's pen suddenly stopped.

"Nami, what's wrong?" Nojiko asked.

"The weather in the Water Capital is off. This feels like a huge storm is coming... It could be a sign that the Gods of Water are about to appear!" Nami said, a hint of excitement in her voice.

"The Gods of Water? Really?" Leah's eyes lit up.

It wasn't just Leah—everyone in the Dream Crew started getting excited. Deep down, they all had the spirit of adventure!

"We can't be sure if it's really the Gods of Water, but the storm is definitely coming, and that's a fact!" Nami said with certainty.

Hearing this, everyone sped up a little more.

Even though Nami hadn't confirmed whether the Gods of Water were coming, the excitement on her face was even stronger than theirs, making everyone believe that it had to be true!

And sure enough, not long after, a massive dark cloud began drifting in from the distance, bringing strong sea winds along with it.

Soon, the sound of announcements echoed across the Water City, signaling that the city was preparing for what was coming.

Ever since Iceburg designed this system, people had developed a reliable way to deal with the arrival of the Gods of Water.

Those living in low-lying areas quickly shut their doors, gathered their valuables, and sealed all windows and openings. Once everything was secured, they rushed toward the central island.

On the central island, shelters had been prepared specifically for times like this.

The storm wouldn't bring the Gods of Water right away—it would take some time to build up before they arrived.

This process usually lasted anywhere from a few hours to half a day, which was enough time for the Dream Crew to finish mapping out the waterways of Water City.

"The wind is getting stronger. Nami, are you almost done?" Robin asked, pressing down on her hat.

"Yeah!"

"Just about finished! The timing of this storm is perfect—I can collect climate data while we're at it!" Nami said excitedly.

Hearing that, everyone felt relieved.

"I'll go check on our ship to make sure it doesn't get blown away by the storm." Hog said, grabbing his axe before jumping down.

The others picked up their pace as well.

Ryuen looked into the distance and noticed a group of people running toward the abandoned shipyard.

Seeing this, his brows furrowed.
