At the same time,
The whole world was in shock, exclamations everywhere!
Shaya's identity and strength had truly astonished too many people. From the moon? lord of the moon?
Starting by subduing the world's strongest swordsman? Called the world's strongest by the Marine?
Suddenly, too much attention was focused on Xayah's Crew.
As long as Shaya dared to appear, he would definitely be in the spotlight and would face challenges from countless strong individuals. The Marine would reap the benefits by collecting intelligence.
Someone laughed wildly... "Fufufufu, lord of the moon, that ancient and forgotten place, did it scare you?"
Someone scoffed... "Jie hahahaha, world's strongest? To hide in such a place, my little ones, let's go conquer the moon!"
Someone was angry... "Ma ma ma ma, I told you to get dessert, and you show me this? Go to hell! Soul Pocus!"
Someone was excited... "Hehehehe, this person is so strong, he even subdued Hawkeye. How great it would be to get his shadow!"
Someone cried loudly... "Wuwuwuwu, even a kid like this can become the world's strongest. Find him for me, I'm going to kill him!"
Someone was astonished... "Brother, look, it's news about the Adult!"
East Blue!
About a dozen nautical miles from Cocoyasi Village, the Straw Hat Pirates, who had just dealt with Arlong and Captain Nezumi, rested for a night and then left. They were all looking at the newspapers and bounties.
"Wow, this guy has a bounty of a billion, why?!"
Luffy's straw hat fell off in shock. Dog-headed man Anas's bounty was simply too astonishing.
He didn't have a single berry yet!
"2.535 billion berries, Hawkeye, I will surpass you..."
Zoro stared intently at Hawkeye's wanted poster, his heart surging. This world was too vast!
The strongest in the small East Blue only had bounties of a few tens of millions of berries, while in the New World, which Hawkeye spoke of, there were existences over a hundred million everywhere. That was where he belonged.
Surpassing Hawkeye was Zoro's goal. As for Shaya... sorry, Zoro was not an idiot!
Such a god-like existence, we mere mortals disdain to compare ourselves to him!
"Phew, appearing at the peak. This world is about to be in chaos."
Sanji thought of Shaya's casual remark that the Vinsmoke family was only fit to be his younger brothers. This filled Sanji with renewed determination.
He wanted to work harder and harder, so that when he achieved fame and success, he could proudly tell Vinsmoke: You are not worthy!
"So scary, the Grand Line is too terrifying."
Usopp trembled, hugging the gun Shaya gave him, his eyes slowly firming up.
"Adult, I finally see you again, your demeanor is still the same..."
Nami snatched the newspaper, carefully put it away, and gazed entranced at Shaya's photo in the newspaper.
This time, Nami fought Arlong's crew alone. Luffy and the others were only there to prevent any Fishman from escaping, following Shaya's teaching: kill without mercy!
The first time she killed someone, no, the first time she killed a fish,
Nami seemed to have been elevated; she directly awakened Observation Haki!
This made Luffy and the others incredibly envious. Earlier, Hawkeye had taught Haki for an hour,
But he only praised Nami's "innate Armament," and now she even had Observation Haki, directly becoming the Straw Hat Pirates' strongest member. The others could only tremble.
The straw hat trio hated it, they hated their own weakness, and could only train desperately.
"Loguetown, let's go!"
"Grand Line, here we come!"
...That day!
Moon
Shaya was not yet aware of the newspapers in the Pirate World.
He was currently planning the development of the moon with Robin and Vivi, preparing for when they would gain the right to modify it.
After all, the moon was truly not a place for humans to stay. If it weren't for his invincible domain on the moon, Shaya would have gone crazy long ago.
Red Hair and the others stayed on their ship for a day, racking their brains to write their autobiographies!
Kizaru was doing the same, pulling that reporter along, trying his best to write down his great life... But they didn't know that the moment they arrived on the moon, they were no longer in control of themselves!
"Alas, it's been a day..."
Roughly finishing his autobiography, Red Hair looked at the crooked words, walked to the bow of the ship, and took a deep breath of the moon's air.
It was so desolate, without a hint of freedom.
"Hmph..."
Beckman, standing beside him, exhaled a puff of smoke and said thoughtfully, "I never imagined that such a person existed on the distant moon. We were truly frogs in a well, Shanks."
Recalling Shaya's finger-snap breaking a sword, recalling Shaya's words sealing everyone's power... their scalps tingled!
On this moon, they, who had roamed the great seas, finally experienced what it meant to be weak and powerless!
"Haha, isn't this great? Others can only dream of coming to the moon..."
The carefree Red Hair looked at the empty moon with great interest,
Then he jumped off the ship and said, "Let's go, Beckman, come with me to see the moon's interior. Mihawk is really something, he hasn't come to see me all day, it's truly saddening..."
"I give up!"
Beckman was utterly resigned to Red Hair's carefree nature, but he was also interested in the moon.
So he and Red Hair walked towards the pit where they had seen Mihawk and others enter yesterday!
Jumping into the pit, they walked a few hundred meters and saw the ancient and magnificent giant gate... "This is where my lord resides, state your names!!"
The two unusual creatures guarding the gate glared at them coldly. Besides Shaya and Anas, everyone else was trash!
"I am Shanks, and he is Beckman. We are here to..."
"Alright, go in!"
To their astonishment, the abnormal creature guarding the gate waved his hand and added, "Don't say I didn't warn you, don't touch anything inside, people will die."
"Thank you, we're just here to look..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Red Hair pulled Beckman and walked into the ancient city.
Buildings brimming with history, rows of working small robots,
A bright sky like thunder, scene after scene left them dazzled.
It was truly hard to believe that the difference between the inside and outside of the moon was so vast; aside from being sparsely populated, it was clearly a magnificent city.
Especially with a circuit light every ten steps, Beckman couldn't help but be curious.
The two walked for a long time, feeling the ancientness of the place. Beckman couldn't help but exclaim, "This city must be at least several hundred years old, possibly even a thousand years."
It was certain that this place was once absolutely prosperous and powerful.
"Beckman, over there, Mihawk is there..."
After saying that, Red Hair excitedly ran forward...
