Phoenix did not avoid Astoria's question. His eyes quickly swept over Nicholas, Lieutenant General Jerry, and David not far away.

His expression was serious, and his tone revealed an unquestionable seriousness:

"There seems to be something down there, it's very dangerous!"

His words were concise and direct, without any exaggeration or concealment.

Astoria's heart tightened when she heard Phoenix's words.

This was the first time she had heard Phoenix use the words "very dangerous" to describe a situation.

She knew that Phoenix was always calm and would not easily show fear or nervousness, but his reaction now made her realize that they might really be facing an unprecedented threat.

The crew members around were also attracted by Phoenix's words, their eyes were focused on him, waiting for more information.

Nicholas and Lieutenant General Jerry looked at each other, and a hint of solemnity appeared in their eyes.

They knew that Phoenix's Mangekyō Sharingan could not be opened casually. Once opened, it meant that the situation might be more serious than they thought.

The waves on the sea became more turbulent, as if an invisible force was stirring underwater.

The ship shook more violently, and everyone was trying to keep their balance while also being alert to unknown threats that might emerge from the bottom of the sea.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and everyone was preparing to meet the upcoming challenges.

Nicholas' brows were furrowed, his eyes fixed on the pirate ships that had completely sunk to the bottom of the sea.

There were only a few survivors floating on the sea, struggling desperately to avoid being swallowed by the sea.

The sinking of these pirate ships was too sudden, as if there was a mysterious and powerful force at work on the seabed.

Nicholas no longer had time to care about Phoenix's previous disrespect to him. His attention was now completely attracted by this sudden crisis.

He hurriedly asked Phoenix:

"Is that thing still there?"

There was a hint of urgency in his voice, and it was clear that he considered this unknown threat far more important than any personal grudge.

Phoenix's Mangekyō Sharingan has been activated, and his eyes are fixed on the seabed, trying to see through the bottomless darkness.

He had just nodded and was about to say something else. His eyes could see things that ordinary people could not see.

His pupil technique allowed him to sense the huge force hidden under the sea.

However, at this moment, a warship not far away also began to sink rapidly.

This scene made everyone feel a deep fear, as if there was a horrible monster at the bottom of the sea swallowing everything on the sea surface.

The warship sank very quickly, sea water quickly poured into the hull, and the soldiers' cries for help sounded particularly desolate in the sea breeze.

The crew members around them began to panic. They didn't know what would happen next or whether they could survive the disaster.

They could only hold on to the side of the boat tightly and pray for God's blessing.

Nicholas and Jerry's faces became particularly serious, and the tense atmosphere around them could almost be cut with a knife.

Jerry hurried to the railing beside the ship, his eyes red with emotion, and shouted loudly at the sinking warship:

"Tom, Tom, don't die!"

His voice was full of anxiety and worry, as if his entire universe was in crisis with the sinking of the ship.

Although Phoenix was in a nervous state, he couldn't help but feel a flash of absurd humor when he heard Jerry's call.

He thought:

"Jerry? Tom? These two names really match each other!"

Even so, he didn't show it, because he knew full well that now was not the time to joke.

He knew that only if he gave his all could he resolve the current crisis.

His eyes were determined, and the ability of his Mangekyō Sharingan had been activated, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.

Astoria looked at Phoenix from the side, her eyes full of worry, but at the same time, she also showed trust in Phoenix.

She knew the power Phoenix possessed, and she believed he could protect them all.

She held Phoenix's hand tightly, giving him support and strength in her own way.

In the tense atmosphere, the warship, which was sinking rapidly, suddenly stopped, as if it was firmly grasped by some force.

Immediately afterwards, a loud noise came from the bottom of the sea, like thunder in the deep sea, deafening and almost breaking people's eardrums.

There were splashes on the sea surface, and a huge shadow emerged from the deep sea, slowly but with irresistible power.

Everyone looked up and their hearts seemed to skip a beat.

What appeared before them was a gigantic creature, so huge that it was almost as big as a warship.

This creature is the giant squid, also known as the king squid.

It is the overlord of the deep sea, possessing great strength and amazing size.

The body color of this giant squid is deep and mysterious, like the thickest ink in the deep sea.

Its appearance almost blends in with the surrounding dark sea water, as if it is the incarnation and guardian of this darkness.

Its skin is not only smooth but also elastic, a characteristic evolved for survival under the huge water pressure of the deep sea.

The skin is covered with a dense layer of tiny suction cups, which are its tools for hunting and clinging, and each one is like a carefully designed miracle of engineering.

Its head is unusually large, standing out compared to its massive body.

On both sides of the head, there are a pair of eyes as bright as lanterns.

Even in the endless darkness of the deep sea, these eyes can emit a faint light.

It is like a lighthouse guiding lost travelers home, or a watcher in the deep sea, gazing at this unknown world.

From under its head, extend eight strong and flexible tentacles, whose length and strength far exceed those of ordinary squids.

Each tentacle is covered with suction cups, which can not only firmly grasp the prey, but also release powerful force enough to tear the strongest objects.

The flexibility of its tentacles allows this giant squid to hunt and move flexibly in the deep sea.

It is the top predator of the deep sea, possessing unparalleled strength and agility.

The appearance of this giant squid shocked everyone present.

Its size, power and mystery are beyond people's imagination. It is not only a miracle of nature, but also a microcosm of the unknown world of the deep sea.
