The Strongest Lunarian in One Piece

"Yasuo-sama, we have a problem…"

"The Fallen Angel Pirate fleet is here!"

At that moment on Baskenny Island, a panicked pirate ran up, drenched in sweat as he reported nervously.

"Hah! Hahaha—what are you panicking about?"

A man with a sharp face, tied-back ponytail, and short beard sneered dismissively.

"It's just the Fallen Angel Pirates. Don't forget who I am—I'm Blood Fox Yasuo!"

With absolute confidence, he asked, "Who's leading the fleet?"

"It seems to be under the 'Fire Calamity' flag."

"What!?"

Hearing this, Yasuo's pupils shrank in shock. His confidence evaporated, replaced by creeping panic.

"Are you sure it's Fire Calamity Afar? This is just a remote, low-value island… Why would someone like that show up personally!?"

He cursed under his breath. "Damn it! We've already found clues to the treasure buried here by Jack the Ripper, that legendary pirate from over a century ago. Just two or three more days and we'd have unearthed it!"

Having survived for so long in the New World, Yasuo was well aware of the Fallen Angel Pirates' dominance. Picking a fight with them was akin to courting death. But he couldn't resist the temptation of the treasure map he had found aboard a sunken ship. The map led to the treasure of Jack the Ripper, a fearsome pirate from over a century ago who had supposedly buried the spoils of his decades-long career on this very island.

The legend had attracted countless treasure hunters, yet no one had ever succeeded in finding it—until now.

Yasuo had gambled everything on this opportunity, invading the island to dig up the treasure. He never intended to linger, planning to flee as soon as the treasure was secured.

"Jack the Ripper's treasure?"

Suddenly, a young voice rang out from above.

"Can I see that treasure map?"

"What?"

Yasuo and his pirates instinctively looked up, startled.

Hovering in midair was a tall, youthful figure.

The boy had a strikingly heroic appearance, standing over five meters tall with black wings and a blazing flame behind his head. Most unsettling was the third eye in the middle of his forehead, which exuded an aura of mystery and overwhelming pressure.

"Who's that?"

"A Lunarian?"

"Wait—he's not old enough to be Fire Calamity Afar!"

"Hold on… that third eye… Is he part of the Kukulkan Family?"

A wave of panic swept through the pirates as realization struck.

"If he's from the Kukulkan Family, wouldn't his bounty be two billion berries!?"

Their gazes became feverish, a volatile mix of greed and disbelief.

"Haha! What luck!"

Yasuo grinned viciously, his expression turning savage. Resting one hand on the hilt of his blade, he felt his confidence returning. Drawing his weapon in a flash, he crouched low and then shot forward like a bullet.

"So, you're the infamous Lunarian–Three-Eyed hybrid? Well, kid, your head will fetch a nice price!"

If he managed to take the boy's head back, he reasoned, even losing the treasure might be worthwhile.

Clang!

Sparks flew as Yasuo's blade clashed with a beautifully ornate katana, wielded by the boy with effortless ease.

The young warrior didn't flinch, meeting Yasuo's fierce blow with a calm smile.

"Take my head? This two-billion bounty won't come cheap, you know."

Bang! Bang!

From all around, Yasuo's crew opened fire, unleashing a hail of bullets aimed at the boy. It was obvious they had no intention of fighting fair.

Whoosh!

Yet, as if he had foreseen the assault, the boy remained completely composed. With a sharp gleam in his eyes, two figures suddenly appeared, one on each side of him, shielding him from the gunfire.

"Ahh!"

Those two figures took the bullets meant for the boy, collapsing to the ground with dull thuds.

"What?"

"Damn it…"

"Is he a Devil Fruit user?"

The pirates were thrown into shock and terror. Even Blood Fox Yasuo, locked in a standoff with the boy—now revealed to be Dal—turned pale.

In the next moment, Dal suddenly vanished into thin air.

"You're really not playing by the rules… I guess I'll deal with the nuisances first!"

"He disappeared?"

"Everyone, stay alert!"

Whoosh… Whoosh…

"Aaaaah!"

To everyone's astonishment, screams broke out around them. One after another, pirates dropped into pools of blood. Some were decapitated; others were sliced cleanly in half. The gruesome sight defied description.

"You bastard!"

Blood Fox Yasuo's face twisted in a blend of rage and fear. As the user of the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Fox, he shifted into his hybrid form, his body contorting before everyone's eyes. Clutching his blade tightly, he lunged at Dal—but he couldn't track the boy's movements.

He had no way to stop him.

"Aaaaah!"

In mere moments, another dozen pirates were slain. Dal was like an invisible, scythe-wielding reaper, felling anyone in his path. Not even pirates with bounties in the tens of millions could react before their heads rolled. The surgical precision of the slaughter made everyone's blood run cold.

"Run!"

"He's a devil!"

Terrified beyond belief, several pirates turned to flee. Yet not a single one escaped. In the blink of an eye, they were cut down, their bodies collapsing lifelessly.

"Stop it—!" Yasuo roared, his voice raw, eyes bloodshot.

He could hardly believe it. A mere ten-year-old boy was butchering his entire crew.

Though Yasuo could faintly sense Dal's presence with his Observation Haki, every attempt to strike ended in futility as Dal shifted positions instantly. In under a minute, the entire Blood Fox Pirate Crew lay annihilated.

The horrifying spectacle sent shivers through Yasuo.

"It's your turn now."

Dal finally reappeared, standing tall amidst the carnage. With a quick flick of his wrist, he cast off the blood clinging to his ornate blade, then leveled its tip at Yasuo, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"You little devil—"

Yasuo, trembling with fury, his hybrid form bristling with power, charged Dal with murderous intent.

Clang… Clang…

Sparks showered the air as their blades collided again and again. But Dal, far more poised—and far taller—casually parried each strike.

"Damn it, I'll kill you!"

Dal's third eye glowed crimson, exuding a chilling aura. Smirking, he said,

"That's what you were about to say, right?"

He paused for effect.

"And next, you'll say…"

"You bastard!!"

Yasuo's eyes bulged in shock the instant the words slipped out. He froze, drenched in cold sweat, staring at Dal with utter disbelief. The boy had predicted his every move.

"Y-You bastard!!"
