Roja's words, spoken with ease and comfort, struck a strange chord with Ain and Stella.

Ain hesitated, her voice faltering as she addressed him. "Lord Roja..."

She couldn't finish her thought. They were in the depths of the ocean, where launching a large-scale attack could rupture the ship's coating, resulting in their certain doom. On the other hand, a smaller attack would barely scratch the massive 5,500-meter-long Sea King before them.

Both options led to the same outcome: death.

Just as tension mounted, a series of loud explosions reverberated through the waters around the warship.

These weren't attacks—rather, they were caused by the sheer force of the colossal squid-like Sea King moving swiftly through the ocean. Its enormous body displaced vast amounts of water, creating violent currents that rattled the ship.

The creature had already reached the warship, and now its massive tentacles began snaking toward the vessel.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Leave it to me," Roja said calmly, standing up from his seat.

He walked unhurriedly to the edge of the deck, his expression as tranquil as ever, exuding confidence.

Ain and Stella, their nerves frayed, watched anxiously. How would Roja handle this? Would his actions risk shattering the coating that kept the crushing pressure of the deep sea at bay?

The oppressive atmosphere weighed heavily as the Sea King extended a massive tentacle toward the warship. It was only moments away from breaching the coating.

But just as the tentacle neared the ship, Roja slowly closed his eyes—and then opened them sharply.

A wave of terrifying Reiatsu—a spiritual pressure not unlike Conqueror's Haki—exploded outward from Roja's body.

It was monumental, suffocating, and majestic, like an unstoppable force.

Buzz!

In an instant, Roja's Conqueror's Haki surged outward, encompassing everything within a six-thousand-meter radius. The oppressive energy enveloped the Sea King, freezing it in its tracks.

The creature, so massive it dwarfed the warship, recoiled violently. Its tentacles retreated as if scorched by the sheer power emanating from Roja.

This wasn't just Conqueror's Haki—it was an advanced, concentrated form. Under Roja's control, it targeted the Sea King directly, leaving Ain and Stella unaffected, though they could still sense its staggering intensity.

With his Marine cloak billowing behind him, Roja stood like an immovable titan.

"Crack! Crack!"

The ship's lights illuminated the Sea King's body as the unimaginable pressure caused cracks to form along its thick, scaled hide. The beast twisted and thrashed, creating massive underwater turbulence that shook the warship violently.

Yet no matter how much the Sea King struggled, it couldn't come any closer. Roja's Conqueror's Haki overwhelmed it entirely, forcing its massive frame to curl in on itself.

"Too... too strong!" Stella gasped, her voice trembling.

"Is this... the master's true power?" Ain whispered, her eyes wide with awe.

The two women stared at Roja's back, their admiration turning into reverence. His figure seemed to etch itself permanently into their memories.

Unlike ordinary Conqueror's Haki, Roja's Reiatsu held unparalleled aggression, rendering it even more destructive.

Smirking slightly, Roja spoke to the struggling Sea King, his voice calm yet commanding. "Since you dared to come this far, you're not leaving. This is a world where only the strong survive."

As his words fell, Roja unleashed the full force of his spiritual pressure.

The 5,500-meter-long Sea King didn't stand a chance. Its immense body shattered into dozens of pieces, sending waves of blood and debris surging through the water.

This was Roja, the White Dove, the most powerful Marine general in existence, whose name struck fear into the hearts of countless pirates.

Ain and Stella could only watch, their thoughts echoing the same sentiment: Lord Roja truly stands at the pinnacle of power.

As Roja reined in his spiritual pressure, his expression remained calm, as though nothing extraordinary had happened.

He turned back to his seat, resuming his meal as if he'd merely swatted away an inconvenience.

While eating, he addressed the awestruck women. "What you just witnessed is an advanced form of Conqueror's Haki, a manifestation that comes with refining your mental fortitude. If you train your minds diligently, you might awaken Conqueror's Haki yourselves."

He paused, smiling faintly. "Don't let the rarity of Conqueror's Haki discourage you. The belief that it's unattainable only makes it harder to achieve. Understand?"

Realizing this was a lesson, Ain quickly stood and saluted. "Understood, Lord Roja!"

Inwardly, she marveled: So that's why Lord Roja wanted us to strengthen our mental states earlier. It wasn't just about survival—it was to guide us toward awakening our potential!

Roja chuckled at Ain's seriousness. "Alright, now that the crisis has passed, let's enjoy Stella's cooking."

"Yes, Lord Roja!" the two women replied in unison, their appetites returning with newfound vigor.

Later, as the warship approached Fish-Man Island:

Roja deftly navigated the treacherous undercurrents of the deep sea, finally bringing the ship to the massive bubble surrounding Fish-Man Island.

In the grand Ryugu Palace, King Neptune and his ministers awaited them at the island's port.

As the warship docked, Stella and Ain couldn't contain their excitement, their eyes sparkling like children exploring a fantastical world.

"Look! The entire island is inside a giant bubble!" Stella exclaimed.

"And there are clouds and air here—at 10,000 meters beneath the surface! This is amazing!" Ain added, marveling at the island's beauty.

Roja observed their excitement with a slight smile before stepping off the ship.

Just then, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind:

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in. Reward obtained: Peak Observation Haki and Peak Conqueror's Haki! The host can now foresee attacks five minutes in advance and communicate with all living beings!]

Hearing this, Roja's expression froze briefly before a sly grin spread across his face.
