“???” But in the next second, his entire body froze in place.
His finger was less than ten centimeters away from Moke’s head.
And yet, Colonel Wild Dog discovered that, at this very moment, he could not move even half an inch.
He looked down and saw that, at some point, his entire body had been wrapped and bound by mud surging up from the ground.
His face was filled with shock and confusion.
Swish!
And at that very moment, the Sandai Kitetsu in Moke’s hand traced a beautiful arc through the air, slashing toward Colonel Wild Dog’s neck.
“Not good!” Colonel Wild Dog’s expression changed drastically.
Because at that moment, he had already lost the ability to move.
He could not dodge at all.
He could only watch helplessly as the Sandai Kitetsu drew closer and closer.
“Iron Body!” With no other choice, he could only choose passive defense.
Swish!
The Sandai Kitetsu swept across Colonel Wild Dog’s neck.
Clearly, his Iron Body could not withstand Moke’s strike.
First, a wound slowly appeared.
Then, blood sprayed out wildly.
“No… no… impossible…” Colonel Wild Dog’s face was filled with disbelief.
The man before him was clearly a Logia user with an ability similar to the Glint-Glint Fruit.
How could he also control mud?
But at that moment, he noticed that, at some point, the man’s skin was no longer bright and radiant.
Instead, it had become dull and even carried a yellowish tint.
Unfortunately, everything was already too late.
At this moment, Moke’s lips curled upward, revealing a smile.
Just now, when he had forcefully blocked Colonel Wild Dog’s Tempest Kick and been pushed back four or five meters, he had taken the opportunity to touch the ground with his hand.
At the same time, he had switched from the Glint-Glint ability to the Mud-Mud ability.
Also, Iron Body really was the strongest “illusion”!
Under his full-power slash empowered by his ghostly aura, this guy’s defense was directly broken.
He was as dead as dead could be.
… Click.
At the same time, in a dark corner, someone aimed a camera at Moke and took a photo.
And quite professionally, they found the perfect angle.
They captured the exact moment when Moke was sheathing his blade.
It gave off the impression of someone looking down on the entire world.
… Meanwhile, Moke began searching for Bartolomeo’s figure, only to discover that he had already disappeared without a trace.
Moke could not help but pause for a moment before muttering, “As expected of an important character.
His life really is tough.” However, there was no longer any need to stay in Loguetown.
He raised his hand toward the sun in the sky and once again transformed into his Glint-Glint ability.
In the end, his entire body turned into a beam of light and shot directly toward Reverse Mountain.
After that, he quickly charged into the Grand Line and soon arrived at the first island.
On the Grand Line, there were several routes one could choose from.
And on the first island of each route, there were underground forces that sold information.
One could buy Eternal Poses to almost any island there.
They were just a little expensive.
So, as soon as Moke landed on the island, he immediately found a tavern.
The moment a waiter saw Moke, he came over with a bright smile.
“What would you like, sir?” Moke did not waste any words and went straight to the point.
“I want an Eternal Pose to Cook Island.” After saying that, his nose twitched.
A fragrant aroma had drifted over, stirring Moke’s appetite.
So he added another sentence.
“And bring me a table full of your most famous dishes.” “Right away!
Please find yourself a seat.
I’ll be back shortly.” “Tsk, tsk…” Moke casually found an empty table and sat down.
But a group of people all turned to look at him at the same time.
Some of their gazes were even filled with ill intent.
There were even bursts of cold laughter.
“Another newcomer who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth…” “He’s probably still dreaming about becoming the Pirate King.” “Newcomers are all like this.
Naive as hell…” Moke raised an eyebrow and swept his gaze across everyone present, his eyes carrying a hint of disdain.
After all, the old-timers here were basically useless people who had lost their courage.
All they could do was stay here and put on airs in front of newcomers.
“Hey…” Among them, a burly man stood up and walked toward Moke.
“Kid, an Eternal Pose to a specific island isn’t cheap.
Looks like you’ve got some money.
How about paying for our table too?
And leaving some spending money for me while you’re at it?” He made it sound like a question, but his tone left no room for refusal.
Moke remained seated and looked up at him.
Seeing the man act as if he already had him in the palm of his hand, Moke could not help but laugh.
“A piece of trash who only dares to hole up on the first island at the entrance of the Grand Line actually has the nerve to mock people with dreams?
“Sure, most of those guys may not be good people.
But they’re still far better than trash like you.” Silence.
The entire tavern instantly fell deathly quiet.
Whether it was the man who had approached him or the people who had been waiting to watch the show, everyone’s expression froze on their faces.
Because Moke’s words were no different from slapping them across the face.
In an instant, the way everyone looked at Moke changed.
They no longer looked like spectators watching a good show.
Instead, each of them looked as if they wanted to devour him alive.
Especially that burly man.
At this moment, his eyes were wide open, filled with anger.
“You…” But just as he was about to explode, he met Moke’s gaze.
At this moment, Moke’s pupils had already turned purple.
At the same time, ghostly aura surged out from his body and swept in all directions.
The burly man bore the brunt of it.
He had only managed to say one word before his whole body felt as if it had been struck by a heavy blow.
His face turned pale, and his body swayed.
All the words that followed were forcefully swallowed back down.
“Hiss…” Everyone present felt a cold, eerie chill sweep past them, making them shiver involuntarily.
Most importantly, the aura of the young man before them had changed.
It brought them an unprecedented pressure.
Everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
After all, they were people who had fought their way out of the Four Seas.
They still had some experience.
How could they not understand that today, they had run into a tough opponent?
Moke said coldly, “Leave behind all the money and valuables on you, and you may leave.
“Otherwise, today, you will use your lives to bear the consequences of offending me.” Everyone’s faces stiffened.
They had only wanted to bully a newcomer and take a share of the profits.
Who would have thought they would be the ones getting robbed instead?
For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
But these were pirates whose hands were stained with blood.
Greed was in their nature.
How could they easily hand over the money in their possession?
Crash!
A pirate sitting by the window directly smashed through it and leaped outside.
Boom!
But before he could feel happy about escaping, everyone in the tavern saw that Moke’s index finger was already aimed at him.
A large amount of light had gathered at the tip of that finger.
Immediately after, a beam of light burst forth.
It pierced straight through the back of the fleeing pirate’s heart.
And its momentum did not decrease at all.
It slammed fiercely into a large tree a hundred meters away.
The terrifying force directly blasted the tree apart.
Because the tavern’s windows were very large, most of the people inside saw everything clearly.
Once again, the tavern fell into complete silence.
Gulp.
“Hiss…” Some people swallowed hard.
Others sucked in a breath of cold air.
After coming back to their senses, the way they looked at Moke had completely changed.
There was no longer the slightest hint of contempt or unwillingness.
Only reverence remained.
Immediately afterward, they respectfully placed all their money and valuables on Moke’s table.
Only then did they retreat from the tavern.
