Moyun neither agreed nor disagreed with this.

"I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first."

Moyun patted ShSh's dog head. "Let's go, ShSh. You've gotten your revenge now, so come with me."

"Woof, woof, woof!" ShSh wagged his little tail happily, looking as though he had already emerged from his former gloom.

"Ah, you're leaving so soon?"

Luffy tilted his head, pouting as he muttered a few words.

"Olvia, let's go."

Moyun patted the nonexistent dust from his clothes and walked ahead, paying no attention to the complicated look Olvia cast at him.

The others might not have known, but Olvia had seen everything clearly.

This child, who did not look very old, actually possessed such formidable power. He could not only make the dead rise again, but could even throw his enemies' actions into chaos.

She had watched with her own eyes as a gray aura entered the straw-hatted boy's body.

That boy's nerves were simply too thick, though, and he had not noticed it at all.

Moyun walked at the very front. He had only taken a few steps when he stopped, turning to look at Zoro before thoughtfully rubbing his chin.

He had suddenly thought of something interesting.

If he remembered correctly, in the world of the Pirate King, Zoro had a childhood friend named Kuina. Later on, the Marines would also have a woman named Tashigi who looked extremely similar to Kuina.

"What would happen if I revived Kuina? If Kuina grew up, she should become a powerful swordswoman."

In the end, Moyun set off with Olvia and ShSh on a journey to Zoro's hometown.

Luffy's early companions had not yet all been gathered, so he would put the search for the Poneglyphs aside for now and indulge his little whim first.

Zoro, who was standing beside Luffy, suddenly felt every hair on his body stand on end. Why did he have such a bad feeling?

"Zoro, are you all right?"

"I'm fine. We should still be careful around that man from earlier. He's very strong."

Although Zoro said this, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

It would be great if he could fight a man like that.

In a certain sense, Luffy and Zoro were actually quite similar.

Nami, however, did not think much of it. That child did not look very old. What could he possibly do?

"Since you helped me escape Buggy's pursuit, I'll give this treasure map to you."

Nami took a map from inside her clothes and handed it to Luffy indifferently.

"Thank you so much! As expected of my navigator, hahaha!"

"Who's your navigator? I'm not going to become a pirate's companion!"

Nami shouted with a frown, but Luffy paid no attention to her. Holding the treasure map, he began dancing around wildly.

Zoro, however, continued staring in the direction Moyun had left, remaining silent for a long time.

"Where are we going now? There shouldn't be any Poneglyphs in this direction, right?"

Olvia wore a white dress and quietly gazed ahead.

"Don't worry about that yet. I'm going to find someone. We'll talk after I've gathered everyone."

Moyun waved his hand indifferently. Zoro had been born in Shimotsuki Village in the East Blue, and that was the direction they were headed.

It would take them some time to get there, which would give him a chance to sort out the timeline properly.

Next, Luffy should go to Usopp's village, then head to the sea restaurant after finding him.

It seemed he had plenty of time. There should be no need for him to interfere over there.

"Why have you been staring at me?"

"Their behavior was so strange today. That was your doing, wasn't it?"

Olvia had still been unable to hold back from asking. What kind of Devil Fruit could grant such abilities?

"Yes. So what? My strength is very formidable."

The only problem was that he was a lousy swimmer.

Moyun did not really care about that. There should be very few situations that could actually make him fall into the water.

"I can tell. But who exactly are you?"

"You'll find out later."

After less than a day, Moyun, who was aboard the ship, could already see the shore.

ShSh had hardly ever been on a ship before, and he was still a little dizzy when he disembarked.

"You got seasick?"

Moyun found it amusing. So dogs could get seasick too? He picked ShSh up in his arms and walked forward.

Now he was going to find the dojo master, Koshiro, who could be considered Zoro's first master.

"May I ask who you are?"

The dojo master, Koshiro, looked curiously at the group of two people and one dog before him. Judging by their clothes, they seemed to be outsiders.

Their island was completely unremarkable. Why would anyone come looking for them?

"Hello. My name is Moyun, and this is Olvia."

Moyun gave Koshiro a gentlemanly bow and briefly introduced himself.

"Hello, hello. May I ask why you've come here?"

"I came to find Kuina."

"What!"

Koshiro cried out in shock, even shouting aloud. How many years had it been since he had last heard anyone mention Kuina?

"What are your intentions!"

Kuina had already been dead for who knew how many years. How could these outsiders know about her?

Koshiro's eyes were filled with vigilance as he looked at Moyun, and his hand had already moved toward the sword resting beside him.

"Don't be so tense. I've brought you some good news."

"What good news? My daughter has been dead for who knows how long. Please don't make jokes about her!"

The usually good-tempered Koshiro had grown angry. Even if it cost him his life, he would protect Kuina's grave.

"I can revive Kuina, but I have one condition."

"Are you joking with me!"

Koshiro drew his sword in an instant and pointed it horizontally at Moyun's neck.

Moyun did not even dodge. He simply stood there quietly, showing no sign of joking whatsoever.

"You have to believe me. I can revive Kuina."

Koshiro looked into Moyun's eyes, and his heart began to waver. He certainly would not have said such a thing for no reason, but how could resurrection possibly exist in this world?

"He was the one who revived me."

Olvia spoke calmly.

Koshiro looked at Olvia and saw that the woman did not appear to be lying.

"You said there was another condition?"

"After I revive Kuina, she must come adventuring with me."

"That..."

There was nothing wrong with that. As far as Koshiro was concerned, it would be enough if his daughter could live again.

"Is that impossible?"

"It's possible, but I can't let my daughter take such a risk."

The moment he heard this, Moyun understood what Koshiro meant.

He simply wanted Moyun to prove it.
