Archie was moving around as he enjoyed his time sailing around the New World, he would occasionally stop by Zou or other places so that he could see how things were progressing on some islands.
Out of everyone else on the crew, it seemed like Archie much preferred life at sea so whenever he got the chance to set sail, he was the first to volunteer to head out somewhere new.
He always kept a transponder snail close by him in case of emergencies so that he could head out right away when he was needed.
It seemed like such a time came once again as he heard the transponder snail. "Hello?"
His appearance had changed a lot compared to the past as he seemed to have grown much larger after completing his full Sulong bloodline transformation and maturing a little over his adventures with Alyssia.
He was already much taller than her like several other males of the Mink tribe.
He may not have been the height of someone like Catviper who was 17'1" tall but he was not too far behind as he was around 16' tall which made him the biggest person on her crew excluding some others who were not officially a part of the crew like giant mercenaries.
Meanwhile, the other male Mink on the crew who was Clifford was around 14' tall, almost 2' shorter than him in height after he too had completed his full transformation.
Even Alyssia who was considered tall for a female and the tallest female on her crew with a height of 7'7" still seemed quite short when stood close to them.
Unfortunately, his build did not allow him similar advantages as Catviper who was very agile despite his large size.
Archie was slightly more durable and had more stamina and strength but he was lacking when it came to speed.
Electro could aid him in increasing his speed but he had always been slower than other Minks and could not figure out where his strengths lay until Alyssia came into his life.
She encouraged him on his dreams of becoming a shipbuilder and a helmsman while giving him tips on how to overcome his doubts about himself.
She taught him that every Mink was unique and had their strengths, it was best not to get too caught up with how most others did things and what was considered the best style of fighting for everyone.
He could use his strengths his way and he could use his Electro in ways that suited him best.
His large body allowed him to endure more than others and he used simple moves when enemies showed some form of weakness.
His Electro was primarily used to increase the destructive force of his attacks while sometimes being used to cover his body or armor to turn his defenses into things that could allow him to damage them when they struck him.
The Quake Devil Fruit power he gained helped to enhance his abilities as it increased his offensive power greatly and could use it to disrupt the rhythm of his opponents without needing to directly touch them or catch them.
After gaining some mastery over Armament Haki and Observation Haki, he became even more deadly as a fighter making it incredibly difficult to take down by normal methods.
Even if he did not possess Conqurors Haki, he was someone who would be able to survive in the New World with few that could endanger his life.
Archie heard the familiar voice of Alyssia who sounded quite excited. "Yo Archie! Ready for another outing? I need a ride so come pick me up! I need a favor from you too."
Archie became a little joyful. "Hey Aly! What do you have in mind?"
After talking for quite some time, Archie set out once again to go and pick up Alyssia before heading toward the next destination.
They were not the only ones to begin moving in various ways as others received similar messages from Alyssia to begin moving.
Yvie used her pass to take her across the Red Line earlier so that she could take Ting and Ton along with her.
They quickly got picked up before getting taken toward Rica Island where Ein was located.
It was a quick job that they needed to do before they would return to where they were previously.
Many people were gathered together near the edge of the island as if awaiting something.
The sea started to become restless far away as something began to emerge from it revealing a giant-sized sea creature with a very long neck.
A large bubble dome surrounded a city that had been built around a giant tree that was the main focal point in the middle.
Some other areas were covered in some forest and mountains with small parts that had some water sources in several parts.
Upon seeing Ness revealing itself from underneath the sea along with the underwater city it carried on its back, another change started to take place on a couple of parts of the island.
The ground started to shake all of a sudden causing several cracks to form in different locations around Rica Island.
A lot of the dirt began falling through the cracks that opened up before the land itself in various parts of the island began to rise.
The shipyard and docking area seemed to float up into the air carried by the solid ground beneath it.
That was not the only change that took place as much further away, a castle surrounded by its protective stone walls began to rise into the sky too.
Ein did a lot of the work to make all of the needed preparations but the Float Devil Fruit was what was required to complete the task as Ting took control of the parts of the island causing them to float toward the sea rising higher.
The bubble dome on the back of Ness was taken down allowing for the pieces of land and everything on top of it to safely land on a section of the island on the back of Ness where it would begin to be integrated into what already existed.
Everything that was once connected to the White Storm that remained on Rica Island had been taken away by Ness as the bubble dome formed once more and it began to be submerged in the sea again.
Monera made a short appearance greeting everyone before going back to aiding with the building of the underwater kingdom that she and Alyssia had dreamed of.
Ein was sad to see a lot of her efforts be taken away but she knew that many of her Automata would be best kept hidden away from the world where they could be of use.
Dr Tsukimi seemed more comfortable with staying to watch over them and helping with little things in the underwater kingdom so he quickly said goodbye to her as she was going on with her journey. "I am already too old for adventures. Just let me do what I can to aid this place."
Ein showed a look of sadness. "Okay. I wish you could come too."
Her bag was packed full of various gadgets and other things that she was working on whether it was some books full of sketches and blueprints or some other things.
Ein followed along with Yvie as she was packed up and ready to go after Alyssia had called her earlier.
