"As expected of you, brother, even such a strong man who has gained fame in the Grand Line has been defeated."
"Humph, I saw the ending from the beginning. There is no way that eldest brother will lose."
"...I didn't win."
"We understand."
"..."
Kazan frowned as he looked at his younger brothers and sisters who started to attack themselves after Mihawk left. How should I improve their IQs? Forget it, I myself am worried.
The next day.
"Huh? There is such a legend in the Western Sea?"
"Ah...if you go to Wano Country and learn about the legend of Ryoma, the dragon-slaying warrior, you will understand."
"Then... if nothing else, this is the former 'Lost Country'."
"...here?"
After listening to Kazan's words, Mihawk looked at this town with suspicion. It was ordinary.
Kazan took one look at Mihawk's expression and guessed the doubts in his heart.
"What can a country that was ruined five hundred years ago become like now?"
"Well, that's what happened."
Mihawk nodded, there are many examples of this kind of thing in this sea.
"Then how did you know that this is the 'Lost Country'?"
"Because of this, it just so happens that you are planning to take a look at it. It is what I got on this island."
Kazan drew out his demon sword to no avail and handed it to Mihawk.
Mihawk took the knife handed over by Kazan. At first glance, he was sure that it was not a famous knife. At second glance, it was a sharp and violent knife. At third glance, he saw two small words lightly engraved on the knife.
useless'.
"I see."
"It seems that this knife is destined to me."
Taking the demon knife handed back by Mihawk, Kazan gently stroked the blade and smiled.
"Well... your compatibility is really good."
Mihawk thought about Kazan, who was covered in blood before. The evil spirit all over his body was indeed a good match for this knife that had been filled with violence for a long time.
"What about your other sword? Has it been refined into a black sword?"
"No, do you think I, the three-legged cat, can be turned into a black knife with just its armed appearance? It...has quite a story."
"?"
"It used to be called the Light of the Moon, and its blade was as bright as the moon. It exuded a faint fluorescence no matter where it was. But after being dyed with the blood of a monster called 'Eclipse', it became completely black. At the same time,
Also changed its name to 'Black Knife-Dark Moon'."
“What an amazing story.”
"Haha, okay."
"There is a strong aura over there."
"Then go and have a look. It's just right. I wanted to take you to have a look."
"where?"
"The cemetery, the resting place of Cyrano."
Kazan said the name lightly. During the time he stayed on the island, he almost visited the entire island. The most special place was a cemetery on the other side of the island.
The reason why it was special was actually because Kazan coveted the scarlet scabbard stuck on a certain tombstone, which was just the right length for the useless demon sword. If he didn't want to touch other people's sleeping companions, he would have taken it from that tomb.
Now after listening to the story told by Mihawk, I now understand what happened, and I can also guess who the unnamed tombstone belongs to.
Kazan led Hawkeye to the other side of the island. Behind him came Monet, who flew in from nowhere. He was also holding a small sugar in his arms. It didn't mean much, so he took it with him.
The few people didn't walk very fast, but they didn't say a few words along the way. Mihawk and Kazan thought there was no problem with this, but Monet couldn't stand the atmosphere. As for the heartless little sugar.
Then he looked around without any panic.
Little did she know, her lifelong enemy was just ahead.
cemetery.
Next to Cyrano's tombstone, a six-meter-tall man who looked like an eggplant was laughing, with piles of zombies standing behind him.
"Finally found it, hehehehehe."
"I originally wanted to find the boy named Kazan, but I didn't expect that there was such a big surprise hidden here!"
Just when Moonlight Moria was about to let his men dig, a small figure flew over from the sky in his peripheral vision.
"Is today a lucky day for me, Moonlight Moria? I am blessed with three blessings."
"It looks like it's a devil fruit related to souls. It's a bit similar to the one from Big Mom. It should also be able to coordinate with my zombies. Yes, I'll take him under my command. I can fool this kind of baby in no time.
Got it."
Moonlight Moria looked thoughtfully at the pink-haired young girl who was slowly falling in the air and the few little ghosts following her.
Resisting the thought of digging up the body, Moonlight Moria stood there with a very majestic look and waited for the little girl to slowly land on the ground.
...
On the sea a few minutes ago.
Perona held her ugly bear doll in mid-air and struggled to fly. She was now flying entirely with perseverance.
During this period, if she hadn't relied on the power of her ghost fruit to subdue several pirate ships and merchant ships that she encountered and gained some rest time and food, she would have died of exhaustion and starvation in this sea.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
"Kumasi! There is an island ahead! I finally see the island! Woohoo┭┮﹏┭┮I want to live on it for the rest of my life and never leave again."
When Perona landed on the ground unsteadily, she suddenly felt that her vision was dimmed, as if something was blocking the sunlight above her head.
Look up.
Wow~~~What a big eggplant.
Perona stared blankly at the giant eggplant monster standing in front of her. She almost cried. Her heart was full of despair. She had just escaped from the dragon pool and fell into the tiger's den again...
Perona is so pitiful. If she is captured by bad guys, will she be eaten?
The pink-haired little girl stared at the big eggplant in front of her with tears in her eyes, and then stared blankly at the other person before he spoke.
"Would you like to be my subordinate? With me protecting you, you can do whatever you want on this sea, and I can also use the ability of the Shadow Fruit to make many slaves and toys for you!"
"My name is Moonlight Moria, a super famous strongman in the Grand Line! A great pirate with a bounty of 320 million beli!"
"How about it? Join me!"
Perona listened to Big Eggplant's words and looked at the corpses behind him. Her face turned pale. She couldn't understand what Big Eggplant was talking about. She just felt that if she didn't obey him, she would be eaten by Big Eggplant.
.
"I, I, I..."
"Moonlight Moria!!!"
Suddenly there was a loud roar from the sky, and a young man whose body was almost blended with blood rushed out of the cemetery.
