The Strongest Lunarian in One Piece

Clang!!

Sparks flew as the clash of weapons filled the air.

The three-meter-tall Blood Fox Yasuo, wielding his massive, Haki-coated blade, launched a powerful strike.

However, Dal—who stood at an imposing five meters tall and had a youthful face—met him head-on.

The sound of clashing blades echoed as Dal held his ground effortlessly, his strength forcing Yasuo to stumble back.

Though Dal couldn't match the raw physical power of siblings like Thor or Sif, the traits he inherited from his mother's Three-Eyed Tribe bloodline, combined with the Lunarian and Giant bloodlines from his father, made his physique anything but ordinary.

At just eleven years old, he had already mastered Observation Haki—which granted him the ability to foresee the future—and Armament Haki, giving him the edge to face Blood Fox Yasuo, a pirate with a bounty of 235 million berries, head-on.

"Mind-reading? Could this be the legendary ability of the Three-Eyed Tribe?" Yasuo muttered, his eyes fixed on Dal's third eye. The glow from it sent shivers down his spine.

"Take a guess," Dal replied with a smirk, his tone playful yet confident.

But there was no playfulness in his swordsmanship. His strikes were precise, swift, and relentless, aiming to overpower his foe.

Clang! Clang!

Steel met steel as the two figures clashed in a heated battle.

Every strike from Yasuo was met with equal ferocity, and Dal's blade danced with a fluid grace that belied his age.

Both fighters exchanged blows at breakneck speed, their movements sharp and lethal, resembling a deadly dance where neither gave an inch.

"Blood Fox Slash!"

In his hybrid form, Blood Fox Yasuo snarled and leaped back, gathering power in his blade before launching a devastating slash through the air.

The blazing arc of energy screamed toward Dal with immense force.

"Tsk…"

Dal's expression remained calm, as though he had anticipated the attack.

He countered immediately, slashing his sword to release a green-tinged arc of energy.

Boom! Boom!

The two slashes collided in midair, erupting in an explosive clash that shook the ground beneath them.

Dal's gaze sharpened.

The flames on his back extinguished as he shifted into his maximum offensive state.

"Night Demon Assault!"

The blade in Dal's hand glowed ominously as he unleashed a massive crescent-shaped slash that cut through the air like a guillotine.

It shot forward with terrifying speed and power, hurtling directly toward Yasuo.

"Damn it!" Yasuo's face turned pale as he hastily raised his blade, coating it in Haki to defend against the incoming attack.

Clang!!

The impact sent Yasuo skidding backward, his feet tearing deep grooves into the ground.

The sheer force of the slash left him trembling as he roared, veins bulging in his arms while he struggled to deflect the energy.

Finally, with a desperate yell, he hurled the attack to the side, sending it crashing into the ground and leaving a deep scar in the earth.

But before he could catch his breath, Dal was already upon him.

With a powerful flap of his black wings, Dal accelerated with lightning-like speed, closing the distance in an instant.

Clang!

Sparks erupted again as Yasuo barely managed to raise his sword to block. However, Dal's blade grazed his neck, leaving a thin line of blood where the keen edge bit into his skin.

Yasuo's pupils shrank in terror.

"This kid… his speed… it's unreal."

For the first time, he felt the cold grip of death looming over him. Sweat dripped down his face as his body trembled.

"What's the matter? Is this all you've got?" Dal taunted, his tone dripping with mockery. "A 235 million berry pirate? How underwhelming."

"You little brat, don't underestimate me!"

Flushed with rage and humiliation, Yasuo roared as he charged at Dal with everything he had.

Clang! Clang!

Their blades clashed again, but it was clear who held the upper hand. Yasuo was being pushed further and further into a corner, unable to match the overwhelming skill and speed of the boy before him.

In the distance, Fire Calamity Afar hovered in the sky, observing from afar. Seeing that Dal, even without using his Devil Fruit abilities, still held the upper hand, he decided not to intervene.

"Prince Dal's swordsmanship… truly impressive!"

Even Afar, a seasoned warrior, couldn't help but marvel at Dal's performance.

"This isn't the kind of strength an eleven-year-old should have. Even at twenty-one, this level of power would be considered a rare genius."

"Tch…"

A flash of lightning, and Thor's figure appeared nearby. Watching Dal confidently dominate his fight against Blood Fox Yasuo, Thor clicked his tongue and smirked.

"Hmph, Dal is always showing off…"

Whenever Thor sparred with Dal, his younger sibling never hesitated to rely on his Devil Fruit abilities. Without them, Thor could easily overpower him with brute force.

Whoosh…

Suddenly, something blurred past Afar. Acting on instinct, he reached out and caught an old piece of animal hide in his hand.

"Huh? Is this a treasure map?" Thor leaned closer, his eyes lighting up with curiosity.

"Indeed. This symbol was once commonly used by Captain Jack, the infamous pirate from the past. This must be a treasure map he left behind."

Examining the weathered map, Afar nodded. "It seems Prince Dal must have taken this from the pirates and tossed it over here."

"'A mountain turns when water turns, water turns when mountains turn, mountains turn with water, and one might catch the moon beneath the sea…?'"

Thor squinted as he read the cryptic phrases on the map aloud, looking utterly puzzled. "What nonsense is this? Can it even be decoded?"

"The locations marked on the map aren't very precise…" Afar explained with a shrug. "Those phrases are probably key clues. Without solving the riddles, finding the treasure will take time. That's likely why the Blood Fox Pirates couldn't find it before we arrived."

"Makes sense!" Thor nodded in agreement.

He transformed into lightning and shot up to an altitude of several thousand meters, scanning the entire Baskenny Island from above.

"A whirlpool? 'A mountain turns when water turns?'"

Soon, he spotted a massive whirlpool near the island's cliffside.

"But what does 'water turns with mountains' even mean…? Hmm?"

His eyes widened as he gazed out toward the distant ocean. There, a faint glowing sphere of light suddenly illuminated the sea's surface. But just as quickly as it appeared, the light dimmed and vanished into the deep.

"What the…?"

Thor frowned, focusing his senses. The aura emanating from that source was far beyond that of a typical Sea King, and it was moving rapidly into deeper waters, growing fainter as it disappeared.
