Moke stood there motionless, as if he wasn't the one facing the attack.
Kabaji was considered quite good among the pirates in the East Blue. Don't let his lack of a bounty fool you; his strength was even greater than Alvida's before she ate a Devil Fruit.
After all, this guy had exchanged a few blows with Zoro.
Alvida, on the other hand, was directly knocked out by Luffy.
So, don't underestimate him; his speed was quite good. In a flash, he appeared before Moke, and the long sword in his hand directly pierced Moke's heart.
"Tsk tsk..."
Kabaji laughed triumphantly.
But Buggy's eyes were practically bulging out at this moment, and he exclaimed, "Kabaji, retreat quickly!"
"???"
Kabaji looked puzzled. He had already dealt with the person, hadn't he?
Why was the Captain so anxious, telling him to retreat?
But then, he heard Moke's voice: "It seems you really want to experience what it feels like to be kicked by light!"
"!!!"
The pupils in Kabaji's eyes suddenly constricted to needlepoints, and his face was filled with disbelief. He knew that the sword strike he just delivered had pierced through the opponent's heart!
He's not dead?
With immense shock, he looked at Moke. His gaze fell on Moke's chest. Instantly, his face changed drastically, and his eyes shifted from disbelief to horror.
Because he discovered that the spot on the guy in front of him, where his long sword had pierced, had not shed a single drop of blood.
Then the horror in his eyes turned into fear!
"Bang..."
The next moment, Moke's leg swept out, directly hitting Kabaji's abdomen with immense power. Kabaji was sent flying directly...
"You, you, you..."
At this moment, Buggy pointed at Moke, too shocked to speak. Because the ability Moke was displaying at this moment was identical to Kizaru's.
It shattered his decades-long understanding of Devil Fruits.
Finally, he murmured, "Could it be that Kizaru died?"
After much thought, this was the only possibility. Although, this possibility was truly unlikely.
After all, with Kizaru's speed, if he wanted to leave, no one could stop him...
Moke instantly transformed into a beam of light and rapidly arrived beside Buggy. By the time Buggy reacted, Moke had already returned to human form.
Frightened, Buggy's entire body split into pieces and scattered in different directions...
"Hiss...."
Then, Buggy couldn't help but gasp. A sharp pain shot straight to his head, making him stop.
He looked back and saw Moke stepping on his foot, smiling playfully at him.
"My Lord, I was wrong...."
One has to say, Buggy truly lived up to his name; he decisively chickened out.
Moke: "Do you still want the treasure in my hand now?"
"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding..." Buggy's face was full of flattery and subservience.
He even very sensibly handed the eternal pose of Loguetown to Moke with both hands: "This is the eternal pose of Loguetown."
"Consider yourself sensible..."
Moke took the eternal pose of Loguetown, and after confirming the direction, he transformed into a beam of light and headed towards Loguetown.
"Phew...."
Seeing this, Buggy couldn't help but let out a deep sigh of relief, and then immediately rushed towards Kabaji. But when he arrived in front of Kabaji, he found him lying motionless on the ground, clearly having already lost his breath.
His pupils couldn't help but tremble.
Only then did he realize that he had truly escaped a disaster just now.
............
A few days later, a beam of light landed in Loguetown.
It was Moke. His goal was very clear; he found someone to ask for the location of the weapon shop and then went straight to the weapon shop!
However, he didn't expect to see a woman wearing glasses entering the shop before him.
Moke couldn't help but be slightly stunned, thinking, "Isn't that Tashigi?"
She was once considered Zoro's 'official partner' after Kuina. And meeting in a weapon shop, wasn't this her and Zoro's plotline?
He really didn't expect to have such a 'privilege' himself.
However, he wasn't someone who would stop walking just because he saw a woman. After his initial surprise, he regained his composure and followed behind Tashigi into the shop.
As soon as he entered, he saw the owner of the weapon shop, bald and with a red nose—that was him!
Moke's lips couldn't help but curl into a slight smile.
Then, his gaze swept across the shop. He didn't linger for a moment on the swords on the sword racks. Finally, his gaze fell on the sword barrel on one side, where the least valuable swords were placed.
If he remembered correctly,
Sandai Kitetsu was among them, and the price was especially cheap, only 50,000 Berries.
"Owner, I'm here to pick up Shigure..."
At this moment, Tashigi had already walked to the owner.
The owner nodded, handing Shigure to Tashigi: "Your Shigure has been sharpened, sharpening fee is 5,000 Berries."
Tashigi didn't pay immediately but drew Shigure out and examined it carefully.
She was a sword fanatic.
Extremely obsessed with famous swords.
The owner clearly understood Tashigi. He didn't rush her but turned his gaze to Moke, a smile on his face: "Customer, what kind of sword would you like to choose? I have all levels here."
Moke didn't answer but walked to the sword barrel. He touched them one by one...
When he touched a sword with a small white cloth strip on its hilt and scabbard, Moke immediately felt a sinister and overbearing power.
Ghostly aura!
Such a strong ghostly aura.
Needless to say, this was Sandai Kitetsu. Moke directly took it out and then drew it.
Swish...
A cold light burst forth, and at the same time, an even more overbearing ghostly aura rushed towards him, making Moke tremble. He hadn't expected this ghostly aura to have the ability to captivate people's minds.
He couldn't help but think of Zoro's ghostly aura in the original work.
Perhaps, it came from Sandai Kitetsu.
"Stop...."
Moke's actions successfully attracted the owner's attention. When he saw Moke trying to touch Sandai Kitetsu... he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Hmm?"
Tashigi, who was carefully examining Shigure in her hand, also couldn't help but look over.
With just one glance, her eyes became bright and sparkling. She even rushed directly to Moke's side, staring intently at the Sandai Kitetsu in Moke's hand.
Then she took out a 'sword' manual from her Pregnant, and quickly found the record of Sandai Kitetsu.
Hilt: No mekugi, no mekugi-ana, with koiguchi, and a small white cloth strip on the hilt and scabbard.
Blade: 88 cm long, 1.7 cm wide...
Edge: Longer, with a larger curvature, no blood groove, the hamon is a typical flame pattern forged by folding and hammering.
That's right, this is Sandai Kitetsu.
But Moke ignored them, his hand already stroking the blade of Sandai Kitetsu. The next moment, his ability activated.
His hand, which was stroking Sandai Kitetsu, instantly transformed into a blade-like shape, emitting the same ghostly aura as Sandai Kitetsu.
At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a Zangetsu user with a chilling ghostly aura.
This scene naturally fell into the eyes of both the owner and Tashigi.
Both exclaimed in unison: "A Devil Fruit user?!!!"
Moke then turned to the owner, smiling calmly: "I want this Sandai Kitetsu. How many Berries?"
The owner raised an eyebrow at his words.
Then he advised, "Since you know it's Sandai Kitetsu, you should know it's a cursed sword. None of its owners have come to a good end, you..."
"Just tell me the price!"
The owner hadn't finished speaking when he was directly interrupted by Moke.
"Uh..."
The owner froze for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "The swords over there are all 50,000 Berries... You picked it from there, which means you have a connection. So, just 50,000 Berries will do!"
"What?"
Tashigi exclaimed from the side, looking incredibly surprised.
Then she said very straightforwardly, "Buy it quickly! Under normal circumstances, it's worth ten million Berries."
