Nami was also taken aback when she heard that and took Usopp's telescope.

When she saw the scene on the warship, she exclaimed in surprise, "It really is like that. What's wrong with them? They're all standing there blankly. What happened? Robin, come take a look too!"

Robin took Nami's telescope and observed the situation aboard the warship, her gaze sweeping across every face.

She discovered that all of them wore shocked expressions, while the Marine colonel's mouth was moving, though it was impossible to tell what he was saying.

"They must have learned something that shocked every one of them. Otherwise, they wouldn't all be wearing the same expression. We're too far away to hear what they're saying, but one thing is certain."

Robin paused, her gaze settling on Wuli as she said with certainty, "The reason lies with that unknown Marine colonel."

Nami and the others grew curious, unable to make sense of the situation.

"We can only wait for Luffy and the others to return, then ask them what happened on the warship."

"'Red-Hair' Shanks lost an arm?"

"'Dark King' Rayleigh, a legendary figure like that, was actually Straw Hat's master?"

The amount of information was overwhelming. The Marines all gaped, looking as though they had seen a ghost. His backing was far too powerful!

Shu was equally shocked, though a flicker of doubt passed through his eyes.

He had no idea where Wuli had obtained this intelligence, and Zoro's reaction did not seem like he was making things up.

At first, Zoro was surprised that one of the Four Emperors, 'Red-Hair' Shanks, had actually lost an arm for Luffy.

But even they, his crewmates, had not known about this. How did this Marine know?

Though the truth of that matter still needed to be verified, it was true that Luffy had been taught by 'Dark King' Rayleigh after the Paramount War.

And judging by Luffy's dazed expression, there was a high chance that the Marine had gotten it right.

Zoro, with the scar over his left eye, looked at Wuli. A bloody gleam flashed through his right eye as intense killing intent surged into the sky.

This person understood his captain so well—better than they did, the companions who spent every day by their captain's side.

And especially since the other party was a Marine, such an enemy was far too dangerous. He posed an enormous threat to his captain.

As Luffy's crewmate and companion, he had to eliminate this threat for him!

Zoro's killing intent intensified, and a powerful aura emanated from his body.

That killing intent made the Marines aboard the warship unable to breathe, and it placed immense pressure on Shu, cold sweat streaming down his face.

Shu could not help but be startled. So Zoro had not used his true strength when fighting him earlier.

Seeing Zoro seemingly ready to attack Wuli at any moment, Shu's vigilance rose to its peak, his heart seeming to leap into his throat.

If Zoro attacked Wuli, he had to stop him! Even though he knew he might not be able to, he would do everything he could!

Only when he sensed Zoro's killing intent did Wuli snap back to his senses. He hurriedly covered his mouth, then apologized in a fluster, "Sorry, sorry! I got too worked up and accidentally revealed some other important information."

Even though Wuli appeared to have merely misspoken in excitement, Zoro's killing intent did not diminish in the slightest.

Zoro narrowed his right eye, his gaze fixed on Wuli as he prepared to attack.

Luffy suddenly stretched out his arm, signaling Zoro not to make a move. Like an arrow nocked on a fully drawn bow, Zoro glanced at Luffy without saying a word and forcibly stopped himself.

Luffy put on his Straw Hat and pressed it down, then raised his head and stared gravely at Wuli. "How do you know these things? Who exactly are you!?"
