Chapter 175: Ship's Name! Níðhöggr
Hearing the four words "Adam Wood."
An odd expression appeared on Lotte's face.
If he remembered correctly, Adam Wood was the material used for the Pirate King Roger's ship.
He couldn't have used all the Adam Wood intended for Roger's ship on his own, right?
Hearing this.
Though Lotte felt a bit strange inside, he still decided to see the ship first. He nodded toward Tom with satisfaction and said.
"By the way."
"In that case, take us there together. I also really want to see what this masterpiece looks like."
Hearing this.
Tom naturally burst into hearty laughter without hesitation.
"Hahahaha! That's only natural! You're the owner of this ship from now on, Mr. Azure Emperor!"
"Of course I need to take you there first!"
Tom pressed a mechanism in the warehouse, opening a hidden passage. A dark tunnel entrance appeared, and he stepped forward without hesitation.
Lotte followed his steps and arrived at an underground dock.
As the lights turned on.
A massive pirate ship, entirely black and gold, came clearly into view.
At the bow stood a proud, towering dragon head—enough to strike fear into anyone at first glance. The entire hull was over a hundred meters long.
Even compared to the most top-tier Marine warships.
It didn't fall short at all in length.
This naturally caused the corners of Lotte's mouth to rise—he was clearly very satisfied with the sight. After all, no matter how you looked at it.
This ship matched his imagination almost perfectly.
In some aspects, it even surpassed expectations.
Tom extended his hand nostalgically, gently stroking the coated hull of the pirate ship.
This was his most outstanding work to date. Finished eight years ago, Tom had naturally continued upgrading and refining it over the years.
After eight full years of polishing.
The ship finally shone with its true brilliance at this moment.
And now, his proudest creation had finally found its rightful owner.
The man who shook the entire sea ten years ago.
The Azure Emperor.
"This ship has been docked here for a full eight years without sailing. If any problems arise in the future, feel free to come to me for repairs."
"And since you never came, the ship's name has remained blank until now."
"Have you thought of a suitable name for it?"
Tom glanced at Lotte with raised corners of his mouth and a light smile.
This ship was like a son to him. Now that it could finally set sail, he was naturally curious about the name.
Lotte nodded slightly.
"Yes, I've already thought of its name. Let's call it Níðhöggr."
This name matched that of a black dragon in Norse mythology—one that coiled at the roots of the World Tree, constantly gnawing at them.
It was said that when this dragon fully emerged.
It meant the roots had been completely devoured, the World Tree had decayed to its limit, and the world would be utterly destroyed.
Then a new world would begin.
The reason Lotte named his pirate ship this.
Naturally carried deep meaning.
Tom curiously glanced at Lotte, stroking his beard as he muttered to himself.
"Níðhöggr... Níðhöggr... Hahahaha! Great name!"
"Then from now on, this ship's name is Níðhöggr!"
"Things here are pretty much settled. By the way, how should I hand over the ship to you? If we do it here, it'll be easy to get noticed."
"How about I quietly send you off at night?"
Tom quickly thought of this issue.
After all, the forging and origins of this ship weren't exactly legitimate, so such concerns were normal. Fortunately, Tom had already prepared for this.
Lotte simply waved his hand.
"Perhaps there's a better way."
Then he began communicating with his system.
"Can this ship be completely stored in my system space? Logically, it's already my property."
[Yes, Host only needs to touch it to store.]
Hearing the affirmative answer.
The corners of Lotte's mouth curved upward as he looked at Tom and smiled.
"No need to go to so much trouble. I have a way to take this ship away silently."
"If you helped me at night and someone noticed, you'd be in big trouble. Better leave it to me."
As his words fell.
Tom looked at Lotte in full confusion and asked.
"Keep in mind this ship is over a hundred meters long. Mr. Azure Emperor, what method do you have to take it away without a sound?"
Such a massive pirate ship.
Once moved, it would inevitably attract attention from many people.
Avoiding all eyes completely was impossible!
Lotte shrugged and stepped forward, extending his hand.
His fair palm touched the coated hull. With a thought from him, the entire ship vanished completely from its place.
This left Tom beside him dumbfounded, mouth wide open.
"There's such a thing?!"
He had considered Lotte using some ability to store the ship.
But as far as he knew, the other's power came from the swordsmanship that could cleave massive waves and the free control of plants?!
What was this inexplicable spatial ability?!
How ridiculously overpowered!
The white cat on Lotte's shoulder also widened its eyes in astonishment.
This was the first time she had seen Lotte store something. Though she had seen him take items out of space before.
Storing such a massive ship still filled her heart with amazement.
After all, a hundred-meter-long ship required an enormous amount of space!
This type of ability was extremely rare even across the entire sea!
Lotte reached out and stroked the white cat on his shoulder. Looking at the stunned Tom, he showed a kind smile.
"I won't disturb Master Tom any longer. If you ever run into trouble in the future, just leave it to me."
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
Lotte knew full well what would happen to Tom later.
But for now, he didn't plan to interfere too much. After all, they were just small matters. When the time was right, stopping them would be easy.
Right now, the Wood-Wood Fruit auction was far more important.
He could feel it.
The improvement of Hashirama Cells was equally crucial to the Sharingan given by the system!
