Innate Observation Haki!
"Okay, go ahead," the Den Den Mushi replied softly, mimicking Isshin's expression and tone.
Vidal first recounted his father Cornell's experiences and circumstances, then spoke with a cold gaze.
"I hope you can go to the depths of the Misty Sea; there should be a huge three-masted sailing ship there that looks like an island, but is actually a ship."
"There's also a group of very old-looking castles up there; if you see them, you've come to the right place."
"Moria might be there!"
That Thriller Bark wasn't actually a native product of the Misty Seas; it was brought from the West Blue by Moonlight Moria.
Therefore, it is very likely the ancestral property of the Moonlight Clan of the West Blue, after all, such a large castle complex could not possibly be inhabited by only one person.
But that has nothing to do with Vidal; all he needs to know is that Moria might be there.
"I understand. If I find him, I'll handle it." Yixiao agreed without hesitation.
Whether it was for the sake of his friend's father or for the sake of those sailors, he felt he should go and see.
"Thanks, but be careful. Besides Moria, there might also be John and Ochoku up there."
"Once you've located the place, use your Observation Haki to sense it. If John and the others are there, then leave immediately!" Vidal reminded him.
Although Issho is very strong, he is probably no match for John and the others right now. However, fortunately, his Observation Haki, which combines gravitational waves, has a very large range.
"Okay, I'll set off now."
After saying that, Yixiao hung up the phone on his own initiative, because he knew that Vidal must be very anxious, so he wanted to get it over with as quickly as possible.
[Call--]
Vidal exhaled a breath of stale air and smiled, thinking that there shouldn't be any problem with him going out. He figured that if it weren't for the John Pirates' interference, Moria alone shouldn't be in any danger.
The distance from Alabasta to the Misty Sea is quite far, Vidal received a call from Yixiao on the fifth day.
"I've found the place you mentioned, and I can see the castle complex, but there's no one here except for some strange zombies."
With a smile, he slowly walked out of the ancient castle behind him, holding Den Den Mushi, and looked up at the gloomy sky above.
"Is that so?" Vidal wasn't particularly disappointed.
After thinking it over calmly for the past few days, I also feel that Moria shouldn't be so foolish as to stay there and wait for someone to come.
"However, I found a battlefield here covered in fresh cuts and bloodstains, but no corpses."
At this moment, Yixiao arrived at an open space not far in front of the castle complex. Just as he had said, the ground was covered with various cracks and broken or shattered swords and knives.
"They've had internal strife," Vidal nodded.
Thinking back, it seems that John died because he wanted to keep Rocks's treasure for himself, and was betrayed by his men.
But now it seems that Moria's hand is also behind this civil war.
If he's not mistaken, Moria should have already left Thriller Bark and is out there looking for companions, single-mindedly building his own pirate crew.
That makes things difficult. It's definitely not going to be possible to get Cornell's shadow back in a short time. Thinking of this, Vidal sighed.
"Thank you for your hard work, smile."
"It's alright. I'll continue searching for Moria. As long as he's still on the high seas, he'll definitely make a name for himself," Ichisho said earnestly.
"Thank you." What else could Vidal say?
"That's settled then. You focus on your training at the Special Training Camp. We'll get together in Alabasta after you graduate." With that, Ichisho was about to hang up the Den Den Mushi when Vidal suddenly called out to him.
"By the way, look for another 'ghost ship' in the Misty Sea. There should be a skeleton man on board who has lived for nearly a hundred years."
"Bring him out. If he doesn't agree, tell him that the whale Laboon is still waiting for him at Twin Capes."
Vidal felt sorry for Brook and wanted him to see the Hiyori and meet Laboon as soon as possible, and also to prevent Moria from taking away his shadow in the future.
Besides, he's quite talented, so it would be good to have him by Issho's side. As for whether this would affect the Straw Hat Pirates...
Hmm, what does this have to do with Vidal at all?
Next, he told Yixiao the story of Brook, which took a while, but Yixiao listened with great interest.
He was deeply moved by the bond between the Rumbar Pirates and Laboon the whale; it turns out there are decent-sounding people like this among pirates.
But.
"Vidal, how do you know all this?" I couldn't help but ask, voicing my doubts.
Regarding the previous incident involving the Thriller Bark, he felt it was unlikely that Vidal had ever been here.
"I've had a special ability similar to precognition since I was a child, but before I Awakening Observation Haki, I was completely unable to interfere with this ability."
Vidal sat in his hammock, looking at the four Devil Fruits above him, and took out the speech he had prepared beforehand.
"After Awakening, I discovered that whenever I desperately want to know something, related visual information would appear in my mind."
"However, this kind of information is very unstable, and it doesn't always come about."
"Like this time, I only saw the existence of the island ship, and Brook's experience, which wasn't very relevant but was also in the Misty Sea."
In this world, there exists a talent called Innate Observation Haki.
Examples include Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Luffy's Voice of All Things, and Queen Otohime of Fish-Man Island's ability to hear the thoughts of others.
As for Katakuri's ability to Future Sight, it is the effect of ordinary Observation Haki reaching its peak, which is not the same as the former.
Of course, Observation Haki can also combine with the power of Devil Fruits to produce other effects.
For example, by combining his Forest-Forest Fruit with the Devil Fruit, he can expand his sensory range through plants, and perceive the location and approximate abilities of Devil Fruits.
There's also the Gravity Fruit, which can expand its range and sense biological emotions through gravitational waves.
Finally, there's Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which expands his range through electromagnetic waves and allows him to hear all sounds within that range.
Anyway, Observation Haki is such a magical thing; it can be innate, acquired, and has both depth and breadth.
"Such amazing abilities!"
Yi Xiao was truly enlightened after hearing this, but after the initial surprise, she could only think that Vidal was indeed worthy of the name, his talent was truly extraordinary.
"This ocean is vast and full of wonder and mystery. As long as you live long enough and travel far enough, it will always have surprises waiting for you!"
Vidal exclaimed sincerely that he truly felt it was wonderful to have transmigrated to this world; at least it was so much better than that tiny ninja world, barely big enough for one person to cause trouble.
That's really something to look forward to.
With a gentle laugh, he hung up the Den Den Mushi, then put it into his inner pocket and stepped across the battlefield of the swordsmen.
He was looking forward to meeting Brook, even though Brook had once been a pirate—yes, once, but not anymore after joining him.
