One Piece: Seeing Proficiency Made Me a Legend

"Not bad. Normally, I wouldn't be interested in a rookie as weak as you. But a female Great Swordsman is rare on the seas, especially one in the Navy who's awakened Conqueror's Haki. I suppose I can spare you a few pointers!"

Gion froze at Dongze's words, looking as though she'd seen a ghost. "How do you know?"

The moment she said it, she clapped a hand over her mouth. Her older sister Tsuru had warned her never to tell anyone about her Conqueror's Haki.

She had never used it in front of anyone since awakening it. Even Sengoku and Garp didn't know she possessed it.

Someone with Conqueror's Haki appearing in the Navy would attract far too much attention.

And Gion was a woman. Tsuru worried that if the Celestial Dragons took an interest in her beautiful, troublesome younger sister, things would become difficult.

That was why she had always told Momousagi to hide her strength and keep a low profile. As the Navy's chief of staff, Tsuru knew the Celestial Dragons all too well.

The shady dealings between the Navy and the World Government were hardly fit for public scrutiny. The Celestial Dragons, who called themselves descendants of the World Creators, were especially vile.

"Kompira told me!"

Remembering how Kompira had reacted earlier, Gion felt a chill. Did that mean he knew her private secrets too?

"You really can communicate with Kompira?"

She stared at Dongze intently, her expression grave.

"The Voice of All Things. Have you heard of it?"

Dongze hadn't taken her question that way, so he didn't deny it. Besides, he didn't think the matter was a big deal.

It was just a first love. What was so serious about that? He had no idea where the man was now, but he certainly didn't remember
