"Don't stop!"

Hearing that, Moonlight opened his eyes and said helplessly,

Under Luffy's fierce attacks, his Observation Haki was rapidly gaining experience!

He was about to level up again, but Luffy stopped at that moment, prompting him to shout.

"That's amazing! Let me try!"

Seeing this, Zoro's fighting spirit rose.

He was a swordsman, and so was Moonlight. Moreover, Moonlight was stronger than him, while his ambition was to become the world's greatest swordsman!

Whenever he saw someone stronger than himself, an intense fighting spirit was stirred within him!

"Okay!"

Hearing this, Moonlight nodded and closed his eyes again.

"Dodge carefully. I won't hold back. If I cut you to death, don't blame me!"

Zoro sneered.

"Come on, then. If you can hit me!"

Moonlight replied calmly.

"Okay!"

Hearing this, Zoro shouted and drew his sword, slashing at him.

His attack was fierce and overwhelmingly powerful!

"Swish, swish, swish, swish!"

In an instant, Zoro slashed at Moonlight with sword speed no slower than Luffy's attack speed!

Amid the storm of swords, Moonlight dodged with ease, moving utterly unrestrained!

"Zoro, faster!"

Moonlight said calmly.

"Damn it! Two Sword Style!"

Zoro roared.

Both swords struck at once!

**Ding! Observation Haki level increased!** **Ding! Observation Haki Lv3 1/1000000!**

He had reached Lv3!

In an instant, Moonlight felt his surroundings change. Although his eyes were closed, he could see everything clearly—the aura, the attacks, and even Zoro's movements!

He could even see Zoro's next attack!

At Lv3, Haki could already provide a preliminary prediction of an opponent's next move!

"Is this what Lv3 Haki feels like? Zoro, use Three Sword Style!"

Feeling the change in his body, Moonlight said calmly.

"Okay!"

Zoro nodded. Even without Moonlight saying anything, he could feel the pressure!

He immediately brought out all three swords and launched a fierce assault!

In an instant, it was as if a storm of swords had erupted aboard the ship. It surged violently, furiously, and with incredible speed!

Moonlight stood within the storm of swords, dodging with ease and remaining completely unaffected!

In the end, Zoro was panting heavily and collapsed onto the deck, exhausted!

Even his beastlike body had been reduced to this state. It was clear just how terrifying Moonlight was!

"How is this possible? I couldn't hit you even once! The gap between us is actually this huge?"

Zoro was stunned.

He knew Moonlight was stronger than him, but he had never expected the gap to be this vast.

"That's amazing, Moonlight! How did you do that? You actually dodged Zoro's attacks!"

Luffy stared at Moonlight with admiration.

"Exactly. How did you do that?"

Nami was also astonished!

Zoro and Luffy had attacked with so many strikes, yet not one had hit Moonlight. It was simply unbelievable!

What was even more astonishing was that he had dodged them with his eyes completely closed!

"This is Haki—Observation Haki. It can sense an opponent's aura and strength. Unfortunately, even I find this power inexplicable, so I have no way to teach it to you!"

Moonlight smiled faintly.

Everyone possessed Haki, but not many people could cultivate it.

As for how to teach Haki to others, he truly had no idea!

His Haki had been granted by the system. He had possessed it directly, as if he had been born with it.

They were different from him!

"Haki? What's that? Forget it, I'm hungry. Nami, is there an island nearby?"

Luffy froze for a moment, puzzled. Then he rubbed his sunken belly and asked Nami.

"I'm not going to learn from you. I'm going to defeat you, and I'll become stronger!"

Zoro refused outright.

He had his pride and his own confidence. Even if Moonlight wanted to teach him, he would not learn.

"An island? Let me see... There is one! It's nearby. There's an island called Syrup Village. I think we can replenish our supplies there."

Nami opened the sea chart and pointed at an island nearby.

After she finished speaking, an island gradually appeared at the edge of the southeastern horizon!

"Ahh! An island! That's great!"

Seeing it, Luffy cried out happily.

"As expected of a navigator. You're pretty capable!"

Zoro lay on the deck and gave her a thumbs-up. He no longer had the strength to stand.

"Of course. With me as this ship's navigator, nothing will be a problem."

Nami spoke confidently.

When it came to navigational skill, she was second to none!

"Syrup Village?"

Moonlight murmured as he gazed at the distant island.

At the same time, on Syrup Village, a long-nosed man wearing goggles with a satchel hanging from his waist was watching Moonlight's group from afar.

That conspicuous pirate flag was blindingly striking!

"Captain, did you spot something?"

"No matter what we find, the Usopp Pirates will definitely be able to handle it!"

"Exactly! No matter what happens, we're brave Warriors of the Sea!"

Three children spoke beside the man.

"Pepper, Carrot, Onion, this isn't a pirate game. They're real Pirates!"

Usopp became more solemn than ever as he spoke.

"Haha, Captain, stop trying to fool us. Who would believe that?"

"Exactly. Although we're members of the Usopp Pirates and respect you greatly, don't say things like that to us. The adults in the village all call you Liar Usopp!"

"Captain, just forget it!"

However, the three children burst into laughter when they heard this. They did not believe him at all!

Usopp often deceived the people in the village. After a while, no one believed anything he said!

That was only natural!

After being deceived once, twice, three times, and then a fourth and fifth time, who would still believe him?

Even his own crew had started to disbelieve him at that moment!

"This time it's true! Absolutely true! I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, look for yourselves!"

Usopp's face was so solemn that it seemed ready to drip with water, and beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

"Come on, Captain. Although your acting keeps getting better, we can't compare with—"

Hearing this, the three children, led by Pepper, shook their heads in complete disbelief. Then they took the telescope Usopp handed them and looked through it without thinking.

Suddenly, their entire bodies trembled, and they began to stammer!

"Pi... pi... Pirates!"

"They're real Pirates! Real Pirates!"

"This is bad, Captain! What do we do?"

The three of them began to tremble all over.

Although they often played pirate games, they knew those were fake. Now that real Pirates had arrived, they realized they could not even summon the courage to face them!

"What else can we do? Hurry! You three, go tell all the villagers and have everyone escape. The Pirates have really come this time."

Usopp spoke hurriedly.

"What about you?"

Hearing this, the three were about to flee when they suddenly noticed Usopp standing motionless. They could not help asking.

"I... I'm staying here to stop them. I absolutely won't allow the Pirates to harm the villagers. I absolutely won't!"

Usopp spoke with a trembling voice, yet his body did not retreat in the slightest!
