"You little brat, who gave you the courage to challenge me alone?!"
"If it weren't for the fact that we're colleagues, you'd have died eight hundred times over!"
Anas's dog-like face was ashen, his eyes filled with killing intent, wishing he could hack the green-haired head in front of him to death.
"Heh! Stop talking big! If you've got the guts, kill me!"
Zoro grinned disdainfully. A week ago, he might have been a bit wary, but now... Zoro wasn't boasting, one Anas wasn't enough for him to cut down!
Of course, Zoro couldn't kill Anas at the moment, but going over a hundred moves without defeat was no problem.
For the lives of his companions, for his dreams, even abandoning his dignity and begging Hawkeye to teach him swordsmanship, wasn't that an easy thing to do?
In just a few days, he had almost doubled his strength!
"Damn brat, even if my lord came today, I'd still kill you!"
Anas was instantly enraged, the strength in his hands increased, and every move was a killing blow, truly aiming to kill!
Somehow, Anas and the Straw Hat just didn't get along!
On the first day, the trio of Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji fought Anas and were powerfully suppressed!
On the second day, the trio lasted a few minutes!
On the third day, the trio lasted half an hour!
On the fourth day, Anas was bewildered because he was suppressed!
On the fifth day, the trio brutalized Anas!
After two days of rest, today, Zoro actually came to challenge him alone. One can imagine how furious Anas was; did they all see him as a weakling?!
"Die!"
Boom, boom, boom!
Peak of Moon Jade!
"How is it? His talent is not bad, right..."
"Mm!"
Hearing Shaya's words, Mihawk nodded sparingly, but his eyes were full of admiration.
It had to be admitted that Zoro's talent was rare, and he had a determination to cut the world in half. His perseverance was even rarer, making him an absolute prodigy for sword training.
Especially his resolve to become stronger even if it meant abandoning his dignity, which moved Mihawk even more.
"Unfortunately, he doesn't have much time left; he can only shine in the next world!"
Sitting on the magnificent throne, Shaya opened his mouth and bit into a lychee that Nami had peeled and handed to him, his expression languid.
Shaya also admired Zoro, but in the Pirate World, normally, one only reaches their peak in their 40s!
Kaido was still an intern in his 20s, and the naturally monstrous Big Mom, along with Whitebeard and Golden Lion in their 30s, were still Rocks' subordinates!
And the current Zoro is under 20. Unless Old Man Oda gives him a cheat, it would take at least a decade or more for him to fully mature, by which time this world would already belong to Xia.
"Lord Shaya, please begin the plan. I am willing to serve you!"
Upon hearing this, Mihawk spoke earnestly, his eyes full of anticipation!
He already knew Shaya's plan: to conquer the Pirate World and rule endless worlds!
What he anticipated was not conquering the Pirate World, but conquering other worlds. Only then could he experience the styles of sword masters from various worlds!
"It starts tomorrow!"
Shaya said calmly. He also really wanted to see the Pirate World.
Currently, he is invincible on the Moon, but a hundred miles beyond the Moon, his strength, which is merely a fusion of the people on the Moon, is still risky at a five-star level.
Although he needs to be extremely cautious, as long as he doesn't provoke all the Four Emperors and the World Government, he should be very safe.
"Lord Shaya, here!"
Nami, who was beside him, peeled a lychee and fed it to Shaya with a sweet smile, her beautiful big eyes rolling as she said, "Are you going down too? Do you want me to be your guide?"
In the past few days, Nami and the others found that submitting to Shaya wasn't so bad.
Moreover, Shaya didn't ask them to do anything; they ate when they wanted, drank when they wanted, and became stronger when they wanted. They just gained a backer, but Shaya's subordinates didn't need useless people.
Furthermore, with their current state of being nurtured, they had no tasks, which allowed them to relax quite a bit.
"Luffy and the others can easily kill Arlong now..."
Shaya saw through Nami's intentions at a glance.
"But..."
Nami wasn't surprised that Shaya knew her past, after all, he was a god-like existence, but she was still nervous. It wasn't that she didn't trust Luffy and the others, but Arlong had cast too great a psychological shadow over her.
"There are no 'buts.' If you can't even take down Arlong, then there's no need for you to exist!"
Shaya's voice was indifferent. His goal was the sea of stars, and he didn't have time to waste on Arlong.
Shaya didn't place much importance on the Straw Hat crew; they were too naive. Shaya was only willing to waste a little time on them with the thought that perhaps some casual training might bring a surprise.
He wasn't a babysitter... helping with every little thing? Dream on!
"I'm sorry, Lord Shaya!"
Nami quickly apologized. In the past few days, she had clearly understood that Shaya was very tolerant of talented people, but for useless people, he didn't even bother to glance at them.
He was domineering and indifferent, yet also as refreshing as a spring breeze, making him unfathomable!
Da da da
At this moment, footsteps approached, and Sanji respectfully said, "Lord Shaya, lunch is ready."
"This was found in the stomach of a Sea Kings. Inside, there's a treasure. Zeff-sensei said it should be a Devil Fruit."
"Oh?"
Shaya looked over at the sound and saw a golden box in Sanji's hand. He slightly raised his hand, and the box burst open.
Inside the box was a snow-white Devil Fruit with patterns like white clouds, and within it, an extremely vast power was hidden.
"Mihawk, do you recognize it?"
"I apologize, Lord Shaya, I haven't seen the illustrated guide."
Mihawk had no interest in Devil Fruit; he wouldn't look at an illustrated guide even if he had one.
"Is that so..."
Shaya nodded slightly and looked at the Devil Fruit: "I originally wanted to find a fruit for an experiment, and now it's perfect..."
Buzz!!
Shaya's hand became transparent like a dream, then he grabbed the Devil Fruit. Gradually, Shaya's eyes flashed.
"This is..."
As everyone watched in astonishment, Shaya actually pulled out a dark and eerie black mist from within the Devil Fruit, making everyone shiver.
