Chapter 467: Jin and Fengyue Arrive!
Ryuunosuke wasn’t surprised by Keshia’s words.
He simply dropped down beside the flattened Luffy and asked with a grin,
"How’s it feel?"
Luffy groaned, staring up at the sky before bursting into a wild laugh.
"Sugeee! She’s so strong! I didn’t even see her move! Big Bro, have you reached that level too?"
The boy’s excitent replaced his frustration in an instant, and Ryuunosuke couldn’t help laughing back.
That grin—so simple, so fearless—was Luffy’s way of hiding the sting of defeat.
"My strength’s just a little higher than hers," Ryuunosuke said, teasingly. "Want to train again? Since I’m here, I might as well stick around a few days."
"Really?!"
Before Luffy could finish, Ryuunosuke’s smile turned wicked.
"It’ll be brutal."
Luffy froze. That expression—it was the sa one Garp used to wear before punching him through a mountain.
He swallowed hard.

They stayed with the Straw Hats for a few days.
anwhile, far across the sea, two figures sighted a massive vessel looming on the horizon.
"That’s the Dragon Hunter Pirates’ ship?" Jin muttered. "What a monster."
Even from afar, the Eternal Ship’s presence could be felt—its aura rolled across the waves like pressure from a living creature.
"Monsters, all of them," Fengyue said quietly. "Even their ship’s alive."
He still rembered the first ti he’d seen it, more than a year ago on the G-5 islands. It had been formidable then. Now, it radiated overwhelming power.
A voice interrupted their awe.
"Welco aboard, honored guests."
Both n turned—and froze.
Before them stood a small, sharp-eyed man they hadn’t sensed approach at all. Their Observation Haki hadn’t so much as tingled.
"Who are you?" Jin demanded.
"I am Gaino, ship-spirit of the Eternal Ship," the little man said with a polite bow. "The captain’s been expecting you. Please, step aboard."
He smiled faintly. "And Mr. Jin, our battle arena is prepared. So of our crew are quite eager for a spar."
Jin’s eyes glead. "You weren’t exaggerating, Fengyue. These Dragon Hunters really are monsters. I’ll go first!"
He launched himself toward the ship like a cannonball, laughter echoing over the sea.
Gaino turned back to Fengyue. "Captain Ryuunosuke awaits you in the strategy chamber."
"Ryuunosuke’s back already?" Fengyue frowned. "Then Keshia must be with him... why bring here?"
"Our captain asked for you personally," Gaino replied simply.
Fengyue sighed. "Then let’s go."
---
Gaino placed one palm against the hull of their golden ship.
"Assimilation — Resolution."
The mont his hand touched tal, the vessel shuddered. Its course changed of its own will, gliding toward the Eternal Ship at incredible speed.
Fengyue’s eyes widened. He had seen many powers on the sea, but this... this was sothing else.
The ship-spirit wasn’t just sentient—it could command other ships.
Since fusing two Infinite Hearts with the remains of Pluton, Gaino’s authority over the seas had grown beyond imagination. Even the legendary ancient weapon itself might not rival the Eternal Ship now.
Within monts, they docked alongside.
---
When Fengyue stepped aboard, he felt the hull hum faintly beneath his feet, alive and aware. The craftsmanship was impossible to decipher—dense sigils pulsed like veins of light across the plating, and the monstrous cannon barrels could probably erase islands.
"Where did they even build sothing like this...?" he murmured.
"Would you like to tour the ship first, or et the captain?" Gaino asked.
Fengyue shook his head. "I’ll et Ryuunosuke. Though... this really is the finest ship I’ve ever seen."
"Your praise honors us." Gaino lifted his hand again. "Transfer."
Light rippled, and in an instant, Fengyue found himself standing inside a grand chamber of gold and obsidian.
"Long ti no see, Mr. Fengyue."
Ryuunosuke’s voice echoed through the room. He sat calmly at the table ahead, the faintest smile tugging at his lips.
"Sit. Tell everything that’s happened.
And... about my clone’s behavior earlier—consider this my apology."
