One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

The once powerful Frostmoon clan has fallen to such a state.

Old Kang knelt opposite Luo Ya, carefully examining the Rain Cutter with his eyes full of nostalgia and sadness.

"This sword was indeed forged by Kousaburo."

About fifty years ago, Shimotsuki Kozaburo secretly left Wano Country. He was only 20 years old at the time and was a cousin of Kozaburo.

Unexpectedly, his older brother, Kousaburo, left before him.

Old Kang solemnly returned the knife to Loya.

"You're going to Ghost Island, right?"

"Yes."

Loya nodded slightly.

The village was full of poor people with very limited knowledge, and even with the lure of money, few of them could tell him the exact location.

In the end, Shimotsuki Yasuie, who was using the alias Old Yasuie, took him to his home. Besides knowing the route to Onigashima, Shimotsuki Yasuie was also very interested in his sword.

That's how the current scene happened.

Old Kang perked up: "I can take you to Renwu Port. From Renwu Port, sail in a south-southwest direction for half a day, and you will reach Oni Island."

"Then I'll bother you."

Loya took out a bag full of gold.

Wano Country is in a closed-off state, and the currency circulating within it is not Beli; money won't work, but gold is the hard currency.

"This is payment."

"This is too much, I can't accept it."

Old Kang was flustered and wanted to return the money bag to Luo Ya.

Loya waved his hand: "No need to refuse. If you think the reward is too much, just share it with the residents here."

"Thank you very much!"

Old Kang smiled bitterly. Every year, many people in Caishen Town starve to death. With this money, they can at least survive until this year's fire sacrifice.

Loya stood up and urged, "We shouldn't delay, I'm in a hurry."

"Okay, okay!"

Half a day later, the small boat followed the river to Renwu Port. Old Kang did not dare to approach, as there were Orochi's subordinates guarding the area, so he chose a small path to reach the shore.

"Ghost Island is in that direction!"

Old Kang pointed out the way to Loya, explaining that the sea environment leading to Ghost Island was extremely harsh, and it was impossible to reach it by small boat.

He could only send Loya here.

"enough."

Loya did the math and decided that jumping directly into the sea would be easier than using Moonwalk to travel such a long distance, as it would be too strenuous on his feet.

Old Kang watched as Loya dived into the sea and disappeared from sight in an instant, somewhat astonished. He hadn't seen such a powerful person from the outer sea in a long time.

But

"Kaido isn't so easy to defeat!"

Old Kang didn't know if Loya's target was Kaido; if so, he could only pray that Loya could escape.

Three days later, in Bianli Village.

Ace was learning how to weave straw hats from the villagers and also learned why only the elderly, weak, sick and disabled remained in the village.

"Have all the young women and children in the village been taken away?"

"Yes."

Ayu bit her lip.

She was too young to escape unharmed.

"It's not just Amigasa Village, it's the same in other villages. Every year, the giant snake takes away many people and sends them to Oni Island, and no one can come back."

"Then I'll go and rescue them!"

Ace immediately made up his mind. He had originally planned to go to Onigashima to find Kaido, and he could take the opportunity to rescue people there.

The Spade Pirates set sail immediately.

Half a day later, Ghost Island came into view.

"Deus!"

Ace smiled and said, "I'll draw the enemy's attention, and you guys go find the hostages who are being held captive."

"understand!"

The crowd responded loudly.

As the pirate ship approached, before the pirates on guard on the shore could react, a dazzling flash of fire entered their pupils.

"fire punch!"

"boom!!!"

The port exploded!

"Enemy attack!!!"

The alarms echoed across the island.

Above Ghost Island, Loya sat atop a giant skull-shaped bull's horn, holding a wine bottle, overlooking the commotion in the harbor.

"The kid has finally arrived."

After waiting for three days, Ace finally arrived.

"Then, I should take action too."

Loya stood up, took a step forward, and immediately plummeted downwards. When he landed at the eye of the giant skull, he suddenly took a quick step and flew into the interior of the skull castle using Moonwalk.

Loya closed his eyes.

Observation Haki, activate!

"On the third floor."

With all the main forces absent, the troops stationed on Ghost Island were extremely limited, and the security work was quite perfunctory.

Three days is enough time for him to figure out the layout of Ghost Island.

The turmoil caused by Ace has spread into the castle, with booming sounds echoing across the first-floor plaza and flames visible everywhere.

Loya stomped on the air repeatedly and quickly reached the third floor.

"It's an intruder!"

Several pirates saw Loya and immediately rushed over. Judging from his clothing, it was easy to tell that Loya was an intruder.

"shave!"

Loya transformed into a streak of light, flashing past the pirates, who collapsed behind him, bleeding profusely.

The entire process took less than a second.

Loya put away the Rain Cutter and continued walking towards the target he sensed. The other party was also heading towards his location, but it seemed they were heading to the battlefield downstairs.

Soon, the two met in the corridor.

The long white hair, pink horns, and the spiked club in his hand all revealed the identity of the newcomer.

Kaido's daughter, Yamato!

Yamato stopped in her tracks; she felt pressure emanating from Loya.

"who are you?!"

"My name is Loya."

Loya smiled and gave his name, then asked knowingly, "What's your name?"

"Me? My name is Yamato!"

Out of politeness, Yamato gave his name and asked, "Are you in cahoots with those troublemakers down there?"

"That's it."

Loya stroked his chin.

Once Ace became a Shichibukai, they could indeed be considered allies.

Yamato coldly advised, "Father and the others are on a distant expedition. There isn't a single officer on this island. You'd better leave immediately!"

She just wanted to drive away the troublemakers.

This is, after all, her home. If it were destroyed, she would be distressed, and rebuilding it would require an unknown amount of manpower and resources.

"Thank you for reminding."

Loya smiled broadly. This girl was quite nice; even though they were the intruders, she advised them to leave quickly.
