Phantom Sword Dance

Seeing this, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Usopp all gaped in shock!

The sea had been split apart?

This... was way too outrageous!

"Not bad."

Moonlight nodded and returned to the ship. Phantom Sword Dance was currently the strongest Sword Technique he knew, though it required around three seconds of charging.

Moreover, as he continued training, the number of slashes would increase, and its power would become even more terrifying!

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't that a bit much, Moonlight? With strength like that, you're calling it just not bad? How are the rest of us supposed to live?"

Usopp said with a bitter smile.

"This guy... I already knew he was powerful, and I even saw him fight Arlong. He really was strong. But he feels like a bottomless pit. One day, you realize he's already surpassed the level you thought he was at. What kind of monster is he?"

Sanji said in astonishment, looking at Zoro.

Zoro was already a monster, like some kind of beast. Despite suffering such severe injuries, he had recovered rapidly after sleeping for a few days and was now completely healed. Zoro was a monster, but Moonlight was a monster among monsters!

"Does this guy have no limits?"

Zoro gritted his teeth and stared fixedly at Moonlight. He was too strong, but the most terrifying part was that, despite being so strong, he still trained so desperately. Where were his limits?

Surpassing Hawkeye?

For him, he was probably already capable of doing that!

For the first time, Zoro felt as though he could not see his opponent's true face, as though he would never be able to catch up!

"Hey, hey, hey, Moonlight, you're really terrifying. When I first met you, you were just a little swordsman. Now, I feel like you could even go toe-to-toe with Hawkeye. Amazing!"

Luffy gave him a thumbs-up and praised him.

"It's only because everyone is too weak. If I don't become stronger, what happens when we run into powerful enemies? I don't want to lose any of you before we even reach the Grand Line."

Moonlight shrugged helplessly.

"You bastard!"

"Damn it, I'm not weak!"

"Don't underestimate us!"

"Heh heh..."

The moment Moonlight said that, they were immediately displeased.

Usopp and Nami aside, since they knew their own abilities, Zoro and Sanji were instantly dissatisfied. The two pointed at Moonlight, their faces full of unwillingness.

Moonlight waved his hand, wearing a helpless expression.

"Hahahaha!"

Luffy immediately burst into laughter, feeling that everything before him was wonderful.

"So Moonlight really cares about us that much!"

Usopp and Nami exchanged smiles.

Not wanting to lose any one of them meant he was desperately strengthening himself for their sake, didn't it?

"I'm a little hungry. Sanji, I want to eat."

Moonlight shrugged, left those words behind, and returned to the crow's nest.

"Damn it, why should I cook for you?"

Sanji said unhappily.

"Shut up. I want to eat too!"

Zoro waved his hand.

"And me! I want meat!"

Luffy joined in as well.

"Tch! I really can't do anything about you people. Hey, what do you want to eat?"

Sanji curled his lip and looked at Moonlight.

Among them, only Moonlight had unusual tastes. The others ate whatever was available. As a qualified chef, Sanji naturally knew everyone's preferences well.

"Egg fried rice. A large portion."

Moonlight said calmly.

Having been reborn into this world, although there was a great variety of food here, Moonlight still liked egg fried rice. He was truly an odd one out among the people on the ship.

And egg fried rice really did taste different depending on the chef.

"Just wait!"

Sanji waved his hand and headed toward the cabin.

The others all smiled, eagerly awaiting the meal.

Sanji's cooking was indeed worth mentioning.

Loguetown was a town in the East Blue near the entrance to the Grand Line. It was known as the town of beginnings and endings.

That was because Pirate King Gol D. Roger had been born here, and he had also died here.

Pirates often came here, but the public order was also excellent. With the famous Marine colonel, White Hunter Smoker, stationed here, no pirate dared cause trouble in this place.

The townspeople all lived very peaceful lives.

After eating, they sailed for another half a day before Luffy and his group finally arrived at Loguetown. After docking the ship in a concealed spot at the harbor, they set foot in the town.

"My swords are broken. I'm going to replace them!"

"I'm going to see where the Pirate King was executed!"

"I'm going to buy some ingredients!"

"I'm going to buy some clothes!"

"I'll go buy some equipment!"

The moment they went ashore, Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, and Nami split up, while Moonlight was put in charge of guarding the ship.

Moonlight nodded. He did not need to buy anything anyway, and even if he did, Nami would take care of it for him. With Moonlight watching the ship, everyone felt at ease.

So he strolled around nearby, where he could still see the ship.

"Quick, quick, quick! Hand over everything valuable you have!"

"I'm a pirate! If you don't want to die, cooperate obediently!"

"Hahaha!"

However, before he had walked far, he suddenly heard arrogant shouting and panicked cries coming from one of the streets.

"Pirates, huh? It really is the age of pirate voyages. No matter where or when, people like this always show up."

Moonlight frowned. Turning through an alley, he saw a broad street where a scar-faced man over three meters tall, dressed in pirate clothes and carrying a broadsword, was striding forward aggressively with a group of men.

Whenever they saw something, they simply snatched it away. Anyone who refused was cut down with a single slash.

The entire street was in chaos as all the civilians fled in every direction.

"Kid, move aside, or I'll chop you down too!"

The scar-faced man soon spotted Moonlight and sneered.

Moonlight said nothing. He merely looked calmly at the scar-faced man, neither sorrowful nor pleased.

"Damn it, my boss is talking to you! Didn't you hear him?"

"If you want to die, just say so. I'll grant your wish!"

"Get lost already. I'm in a good mood today, so I don't want to kill anyone!"

"You're courting death, aren't you? Chop him up!"

Seeing this, the pirates behind the scar-faced man all shouted coldly.

"Has everyone left?"

Just then, Moonlight glanced at the civilians fleeing far away in every direction and broke into a smile.

He was about to make his move, but he was worried about harming innocent people. So he waited until all the civilians had left before acting!

"Left what?"

"Left your mother's ass! Kill him!"

"Damn it, didn't you hear what your lord said? You're asking to die!"

"Hack him to death!"

Hearing that and seeing Moonlight's expression, all the pirates immediately roared in anger. Moonlight was ignoring their existence. He was far too arrogant!

Several of them instantly rushed forward, broadswords in hand, slashing wildly at him!

Conqueror's Haki!

Moonlight's pupils contracted as an invisible, baleful aura violently spread outward from him in all directions!
