"With the power of the Moa Moa no Mi in your hands... you could become the next 'World Destroyer'—a name that even the World Government would tremble at!"
The auctioneer, unfazed and ever-professional, delivered his words with calculated enthusiasm. In just a few sentences, he set the entire hall ablaze with excitement. Eyes across the room gleamed red with frenzy.

Moa Moa no Mi!!
The Devil Fruit once wielded by the legendary pirate and "World Destroyer," Byrnndi World!
Its terrifying power allowed the user to multiply their own speed—or the size of any object they touched—by dozens, even hundreds of times. Even the most basic cannon could become a weapon of mass destruction under its influence, capable of leveling an entire town in an instant.
It was through the overwhelming might of the Moa Moa no Mi that Byrnndi World was able t...

“Guests in VIP box 3A have bid 200 million Belly! Is there anyone willing to go higher than 200 million Belly!?”
The auctioneer shouted excitedly into the microphone, waving his hands.
“One of only 50 Meito swords in the entire world! For just 200 million Belly, you could own a powerful weapon—a comrade and partner that grows alongside a swordsman!”
“Any other bids?”
His voice was persuasive and professional.

The moment the first auction item appeared, the entire venue erupted.
As the spotlight’s dazzling beams hit the long glass case displaying the sword, greed lit up in everyone’s eyes, their eagerness barely restrained.
Many of the swordsmen in the crowd stared at it with burning intensity, some even itching to leap onto the stage and snatch the blade for themselves.

In a private suite of a luxury hotel.
Daren sat back on the sofa, a lit cigar between his lips, eyes fixed intently on the map in his hands.
It was a high-priced purchase from an informant—a detailed layout of Coin Island. The map marked out the island’s topography, building distribution, and the positions of all major trade ports.
With less than an hour until the auction began, Daren had to finish reviewing the intel and fine-tune his plan.
He didn’t believe in ...

On the top floor of a bank building in the eastern district of Coin Island.

Coin Island.
A sprawling, bustling trade port.
Massive ships slowly entered the harbor one after another, instantly drawing the attention of the crowd.
“They're here! That’s... the pink waving skull flag!! The flag of the Big Mom Pirates!!”
The ship was uniquely shaped, adorned with vibrant candy decorations.

The New World.
Coin Island.
This island was once a barren wasteland, but thanks to its unique position at the crossroads of several major trade routes in the New World, it gradually developed into a thriving hub of commerce and logistics.
Over time, the island became hotly contested by various underground factions and pirate crews. After all, the more prosperous a place, the more money, intelligence, and resources flowed through it—in other words, massive profit potential....

The man broke into a violent coughing fit, black blood spilling from his mouth. His pale face began turning a sickly purple-black.
He gasped for air, barely clinging to life, and let out a cold, mocking laugh.

One day later.
Somewhere in the New World...
“We should be getting close. According to our intel, Shiki’s last known appearance was near this area.”
On the deck of the warship, Sengoku calmly flipped through the nautical chart in his hands. He adjusted his black-rimmed glasses as he spoke.
Daren narrowed his eyes at the vast ocean ahead, frowning.
Even with the Marine’s massive intelligence network, finding a pirate crew in this endless sea was no easier ...

The warship sailed steadily across the sea.
The cold ocean wind sent the seagull flag atop the mast flapping sharply in the breeze.
Daren stood quietly at the bow, ignoring the curious glances from the Marines around him at the Seastone shackles on his wrists. Eyes closed, he let the wind wash over him, taking in a moment of brief peace.
At the same time, he carefully assessed the condition of his body:
Physique: 85.812
Strength: 74.513
Speed: 73.001

Shiki the Golden Lion!?
A legendary Great Pirate—his name stood shoulder to shoulder with Roger and Whitebeard. And according to Marine Headquarters, he was considered even more dangerous than either of them!
The moment the name was spoken, Daren's eyes narrowed sharply. Garp and Kuzan, standing nearby, also froze for a second.
“Hey, hey, hey. Daren hasn’t even graduated from the training camp yet. You’re seriously sending him up against Shiki? That’s insane,” Ga...

Time passed steadily, filled with purpose.
Before long, six months had flown by.
Throughout that half year, Daren continued wearing the Seastone shackles. In the mornings, he trained with Garp at the abandoned port, throwing punches until his arms went numb. In the afternoons, he worked on developing his Observation Haki—under the constant “group beatdowns” from his fellow trainees at the camp.
As for the evenings... well, those weren’t up to him.
Sometimes it ...

The sun was setting.
On the training ground of the camp, Daren collapsed to the ground with a loud thud, gasping for breath. His face was swollen and bruised, his body covered in scrapes and welts of all kinds.
“Hehehe, don’t blame me for this, Daren. It was Zephyr-sensei’s order. Plus, we get credit for it…”
Tokikake strolled over smugly, putting on a fake “I didn’t want to do this either” look as he grinned shamelessly.

The training ground fell into complete silence.
Only the sound of wind and swirling sand drifted through the still air.
Daren’s fist was still pressed against Zephyr’s abdomen. Zephyr stood frozen, body stiff, the corner of his eye twitching slightly. Neither of them moved.
“Um… Zephyr-sensei, are you alright?”
Daren blinked and looked innocently at Zephyr’s frozen expression. He slowly withdrew his fist, the Seastone shackles on his wrists jingling with a ...

Seeing Daren standing there with that "nothing-to-lose" look, Zephyr's mouth twitched.
Dealing with normal people most of the time, he sometimes forgot just how absurd this brat’s physique and durability really were.
But soon, another thought crossed his mind.
“Still, something doesn’t add up… With your strength, you should’ve awakened Observation Haki naturally by now.”
He rubbed his slightly scruffy chin, a flicker of doubt in his eyes.

Chapter 182: I Want to Learn Observation Haki
Daren wasn’t entirely sure if that punch had really been a “serious punch.”
Garp’s training style had no logic to it—bizarre and unorthodox, far beyond anything Daren could wrap his head around.
But out of pure trust in the “strongest Marine,” he followed Garp’s methods step by step, no questions asked.
Training was training, after all. And at his current level, those old methods that once pushed him to his ...

Are you sure this isn’t just a “serious punch”?
Daren couldn’t help but mock the idea in his mind.
Still, hearing Garp’s serious and forceful words, he took a breath, calmed himself, and began to carefully digest the meaning behind them. Before long, he found himself deep in thought.
It was true—just like Garp said, most of his combat ability had been "stacked" together.

You scared the hell out of me!
Looking at Garp in front of him, wearing his signature dog-head cap and grinning menacingly, Daren’s mouth twitched as he grumbled inwardly.
If you wanted to teach me martial arts, just say it. If you were planning to show off the power of your “Iron Fist,” at least give me a heads-up. You nearly gave me a heart attack...
Still, that punch was terrifying.

Riko Amanai calmed her thoughts.
There were three auras on the rooftop. Two belonged to Jujutsu sorcerers, and the third… was odd. Ordinary people all possess Cursed Energy to some extent, but this aura lacked even the faintest trace of it.
It instantly reminded her of the man who had nearly killed her twelve years ago.
Then she thought of Sōjun Minamoto. His aura was also clean, completely free of Cursed Energy—perhaps ...
