Amidst their bickering, the silent Luffy followed the others, catching up with Anas's group.
After walking straight for about ten minutes, everyone followed Anas into a deep pit on the Moon, but surprisingly, the pit was brightly lit.
After walking for a few minutes inside the pit, even Mihawk couldn't help but be surprised... In front, inside the deep pit, stood a magnificent, ornate, and ancient gate.
Two strangely shaped creatures were patrolling the entrance, and more than a dozen small robots were busy repairing the gate.
"Captain Anas, you're back. My Lord has been waiting for a long time, please go in quickly..."
A black-robed man with a Lion's head scanned the group and spoke. Like the pig-headed man beside him, his black robe had a crescent moon emblem.
"You guys listen up. When you see My Lord later, be honest. Say whatever My Lord asks, understand?"
After speaking, seeing that the group didn't react, Anas didn't bother to say more and immediately walked through the gate.
"Hiss..."
As soon as they entered, a thick historical aura rushed towards them, and looking into the distance, it was bright and clear.
Rows of small robots stood guard along the wide streets, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Not far away were ancient and elegant tall buildings, like an ancient city that had been immersed for thousands of years.
"It's too magnificent..."
Although there wasn't much human presence, the prosperity and grandeur of this city were undeniable... What surprised everyone the most was the intense energy radiating above the city, like rolling thunder!
Unidentified buildings full of technological aura hummed, and various strange "electric lights" illuminated the entire ancient city, making it warm and bright.
It was hard to imagine that the interior of the barren Moon could be so splendid!
"This place is simply a miracle..."
A chef exclaimed, following Anas down the street... Ten minutes later!
"My Lord Shaiya, the people have been brought!"
The highest building, Peak of Moon Jade!
The spacious and bright hall was filled with a sense of luxury!
In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, a figure with an ethereal aura stood. Even with his back to them, he made everyone nervous!
"This person, so strong!"
Especially when Mihawk saw this person, his mind tensed, as if he had encountered an unprecedented powerful enemy!
This was not the Haki of Shanks, nor the wildness of Kaido, nor the presence of Whitebeard, but a grandeur that made the soul tremble uncontrollably!
"Anas, well done!"
A magnetic and deep voice sounded. Shaya didn't comment much on Anas's personality, but he didn't hesitate to praise his loyalty.
Since he transmigrated to the Pirate World's Moon, the only thing he was satisfied with so far was this loyal subordinate in front of him.
"Ah!!!"
Hearing Shaya's words, to everyone's astonishment, Anas shrieked, his whole body trembling with excitement, and he immediately knelt on the ground, wailing and crying... "Wuwu!! My supreme deity, my great lord of the moon Shaya..."
"As your loyal follower, how exciting it is to receive your praise. Please forgive my rudeness..."
Saying this, Anas prostrated on the ground and passionately kissed the earth.
With a look of ecstasy, he said, "Ah! This is My Lord Shaiya's territory! Look! What fragrant and beautiful land! Only you, who rule the Moon, are worthy of possessing all of this!"
"My Lord Shaiya, my excited heart cannot calm down. Please give me your command! Even if you want me to die, I will die without regret!"
"..."
Looking at Anas, who was prostrate on the ground like a super bootlicker, Zoro and the others were stunned!
Where was your arrogance from before?
Where was your pride from before?
Looking at Anas's ecstatic face, even Mihawk couldn't help but twitch an eyelid... He had to admit, with such a subordinate, he really couldn't bear to hit him or scold him.
After all... he was a talent!
Shaya was also stunned for a few seconds, then said, "Step down, Anas..."
"As you command, My Lord Shaiya!"
Anas immediately stood up and disappeared from the spot the next moment, without any hesitation!
"Hello, everyone!"
Shaya turned around, his handsome face surprising everyone. Especially his eyes, deep like a galaxy, made people feel dazed. The crescent moon emblem on his black robe made him appear quite noble.
What astonished everyone the most was that, unlike the imagined violent, evil, or villainous image.
Shaya's first impression was that of a noble king who did not lose his grace... making people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze, generating goodwill, yet also inspiring a touch of awe, without any trace of malice arising.
If he were truly a god, he would be nothing more than this, right?
"It's definitely not that simple..."
Suddenly, Hawkeye's heart grew vigilant. He had been fighting in the Pirate World for decades and knew very well the demeanor of strong individuals.
Even the eccentric Red Hair was arrogant at heart, and would never appear so harmless.
The next moment... Shaya's eyelids lifted slightly: "First meeting, let's have a welcoming gift!"
Boom!!!
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted, like a galaxy pressing down!
The surrounding space rumbled with an earth-shattering roar, instantly making Heaven and Earth Lose Color!
Crack!!!
In an instant, it was as if heaven and earth trembled, the void itself shattered, and the surrounding space could not bear it, being crushed into dense cracks!
"Bang bang bang..."
In the blink of an eye, everyone, including Mihawk, was overwhelmed by the extremely powerful aura and crushed to the ground.
Everyone's experience was different; the stronger they were, the greater the pressure. Everyone lacked even the strength to struggle.
Yet, under such a terrifying aura, no one fainted, but they all experienced what Divine Might Like a Prison felt like.
"Ah!!!"
Mihawk's eyes were bloodshot, desperately trying to stand up!
But even with bulging veins, even with all his Haki unleashed, even with his sword intent soaring, he still roared, kneeling on the ground like an ant.
It was as if all his power was so insignificant, making Mihawk incredibly disbelieving.
"Grandpa, no, even more terrifying than Grandpa..."
Even Luffy, who was usually carefree, felt an boundless fear in his heart, and this fear was deeply etched into his soul.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Under the terrifying aura, not a single person fainted, yet they all trembled with extreme pain, as if death was right before their eyes!
"Hoo..."
The imposing aura came quickly and left just as fast. Only a few seconds later, everyone felt a great weight lifted and, having survived a calamity, gasped for breath on the ground.
Just now, it was as if heaven and earth had collapsed, everything had disappeared, leaving only a bone-chilling darkness. No one wanted to experience that again.
"How was this welcoming gift?"
Looking at the paralyzed crowd, Shaya spoke calmly.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill. This was a welcoming gift? It was a show of force!
That elegant young master, who had seemed as gentle as a spring breeze, had become a great demon in everyone's hearts!
