After several large-scale jumps in succession, combined with his Observation Haki perception, he finally landed in a bustling island town.
Uchiha Xin stood on the bustling street, his eyes lighting up as he looked up at the towering Execution Platform in the distance.
" Loguetown."
He recognized the place at a glance.
This place is adjacent to the East Blue and is the entrance to the Grand Line, known as the town where the journey begins and ends.
More importantly, it's extremely close to Cocoyasi Village.
Uchiha Xin was overjoyed, knowing he would soon find the genius Nami.
However, he was unaware that his sudden appearance, coupled with his eye-catching purple-gold imperial robe, had already attracted the attention of someone lurking in the shadows.
The mysterious and enigmatic Uchiha Xin left his mark.
Information about him is quietly spreading to the ears of various clandestine forces.
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
Inside the Fleet Admiral's Office, Sengoku stared intently at the intelligence documents in his hands.
His hands trembled slightly, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
"How is this possible..."
Sengoku, his face filled with shock, abruptly looked up at Staff Officer Tsuru sitting on the sofa and handed him the report.
"He, look at this!"
He took the report, quickly scanned the text, and his previously calm expression instantly changed.
"One of the Shichibukai, Gecko Moria, has been killed?"
He gasped, his voice filled with rare horror.
The report clearly states that the Thriller Bark was completely destroyed by a mysterious man single-handedly.
Moria and his three most eccentric subordinates were all wiped out, their bodies left no trace.
What terrified them even more was the information that followed.
"The killer was armed with Dracule Mihawk's sword, Black Blade Yoru."
Sengoku gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, " Hawk Eyes values that sword more than his own life. As long as the sword is with him, he'll live. But if the sword changes hands..."
He continued, his expression extremely serious:
This means that this man of unknown origin must have defeated or even severely injured Hawk Eyes.
Such strength is simply unfathomable.
A few of Moria's remaining followers managed to escape and spread the news throughout the sea.
This allows the naval intelligence network to quickly obtain leads.
Sengoku stood up and paced anxiously back and forth in front of his desk.
"First he killed Moria, and then he had Hawk Eyes's sword in his hand," Sengoku speculated.
"This person is extremely hostile to the Shichibukai and is definitely a dangerous individual. A top-level bounty must be issued immediately!"
"Wait, Sengoku," Crane calmly advised, "Hold off the bounty for now."
Sengoku stopped in his tracks, his face full of confusion.
Crane analyzed, "Currently, there is no evidence to suggest that the other party is a pirate."
If he is merely a lone, powerful individual, issuing a warrant for his arrest would only create a terrifying and formidable foe out of thin air.
The current navy cannot afford such pointless expenditures.
After a moment of silence, Sengoku finally sighed and sat back down in his chair.
"You're right. Let's investigate secretly first." Sengoku gave the order, "Make sure you find out everything about this person."
The two quickly learned from supplementary information obtained from the intelligence network that the name of this mysterious powerhouse was Uchiha Xin.
Meanwhile, in the East Blue, in Loguetown.
The streets were bustling with people.
With his hands in his pockets, Uchiha Xin strolled leisurely through the streets with Perona.
Perona wore an exquisite dress, her long pink hair tied in pigtails.
Having grown accustomed to the idyllic paradise of the Divine Palace, she now found the Loguetown to be rather shabby and dilapidated, with its old buildings and bustling market.
However, she was in a very good mood, smiling the whole time, because she was able to go shopping with Uchiha Xin.
Perona is stunningly beautiful and has an outstanding presence. She turns heads wherever she goes.
This beauty soon brought her trouble.
A few shady local thugs noticed Perona.
They didn't recognize Uchiha Xin at all, mistaking him for an ordinary outsider with a beautiful female companion. Taking advantage of their numbers, they surrounded him.
"Hey, little sister, you're really pretty." The leader of the thugs, with his blond hair, grinned lewdly and blocked their way.
The surrounding people turned pale when they saw these thugs and quickly backed away, afraid of getting into trouble.
The blond thug turned to look at Uchiha Xin, arrogantly pointing his finger at his nose and demanding:
"Kid, you better hand over this woman right now. I'm in a good mood today and I'll let you off the hook. Otherwise, I'll break your legs!"
Several henchmen burst into laughter and rubbed their hands together, eager to get closer.
Perona looked at these reckless thugs and secretly found it amusing.
She feigned fear and threw herself into Uchiha Xin's arms, tightly hugging his arm with both hands.
"Xin, they're so fierce, I'm so scared." Perona feigned a pitiful look, secretly watching the show.
Faced with the henchman's arrogant provocation, Uchiha Xin scoffed.
"You stupid piece of trash."
He didn't even need to make any extra movements; he didn't even lift a finger.
The powerful, supreme pressure within his body erupted outwards with a roar, following his will.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several muffled explosions echoed through the street.
The blond thug and his henchmen, who were arrogantly shouting just a second ago, were instantly torn to pieces.
Blood mixed with bits of flesh splattered all over the ground; he was instantly killed by the shockwave.
A sudden death occurred on the street, and a strong stench of blood filled the air.
The onlookers were stunned for a second, then burst into terrified screams.
"Murder!"
"Run!"
The crowd fled in terror, and the once-crowded street instantly descended into chaos.
Perona peeked out from Uchiha Xin's arms, looking at the horrific scene on the ground with some surprise.
"They're just a few ordinary people. A little lesson is enough. There's no need to kill them, is there?" Perona muttered to herself.
Uchiha Xin lowered his head, his eyes domineering and resolute, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
"I will never allow anyone to offend me."
Uchiha Xin looked into Perona's eyes.
"I will absolutely not allow anyone to offend those around me. Anyone who dares to have such thoughts will die."
These protective words struck Perona right to the heart.
Her face flushed, her heart raced, and she found the man before her increasingly charming, captivated and mesmerized.
The commotion on the street quickly attracted the attention of the navy.
Navy Captain Smoker, stationed in Loguetown, was patrolling nearby, smoking two cigars.
Upon hearing the screams, he immediately led a squad of naval soldiers over.
"Get out of my way!"
Smoker pushed through the fleeing crowd and strode to the scene.
He immediately spotted the thug's corpse lying in a pool of blood, his death extremely gruesome.
Looking up again, he saw Uchiha Xin standing in front of the corpse, his expression indifferent.
"You bastard!" Smoker roared, drawing his Jitte from behind his back.
"To disregard human life in broad daylight with such cruelty, you must be a vicious and ruthless pirate!"
Smoker didn't care who the other party was; his sense of justice was overflowing, and he immediately activated the Logia Smoke-Smoke Fruit ability.
