Evan's eyes narrowed slightly, and Observation Haki extended the next moment. Various auras appeared in the darkness around him, but the distance was not enough. What he wanted to see were the auras across the entire island, not just those around him.
You should know that Enel could spread his Observation Haki throughout Skypiea, allowing him to see everyone's movements on Sky Island. Even the emotions of others could be monitored; any thought of betraying Enel would instantly vanish.
Who wouldn't love such a powerful Observation Haki? Evan activated the Goro Goro no Mi ability; electrical arcs flickered in his hand and then disappeared, reappearing in his eyes. This greatly boosted his Observation of Haki, now allowing him to cover the entire island.
The next moment, everyone's actions on the island were under his surveillance. This feeling was incredible as if he could control others' destinies at any moment. But in the next moment, Evan quickly suppressed this thought.
"I didn't expect the Goro Goro no Mi to be so powerful to the point where it gives you a sense of arrogance. If I keep thinking about this, I'm afraid I'll become the next Enel," Evan said, touching his temple with a slight headache due to the mindset shift caused by this Devil Fruit.
It felt as if the fruit manipulated Enel into believing he was a god, monitoring everyone's movements at all times and in all places, something only gods could do. Over time, Enel couldn't help but succumb to his arrogance.
"No, this fruit seems to have side effects. After eating it, I feel overly arrogant, as if everything is under my control."
"But one thing to say is that the passive ability of the Goro Goro no Mi is excellent. When combined with Observation Haki, it allows you to extend it throughout the island and monitor everyone."
"I can even see that Zoro is now tied to a wooden stake, dying... That term is a bit inappropriate, after all, he's a future crewmate and is fighting hunger and thirst with sheer willpower."
"It's estimated that seven or eight days have passed since he ate. I guess he's reached his limit, but he still has a long way to go since this guy wants to survive a month with sheer perseverance; he's truly remarkable."
All the women reading the newspaper had creases on their foreheads. If they were in front of him, they would say, "You have time to drop some sarcastic comments about him; you might as well go up and give that guy some food."
In reality, he wasn't a human being at all; it was as if he were just a spectator. Is he going to watch that guy suffer to death from starvation?
He wasn't doing what people should do at all.
But Zoro's perseverance still amazed everyone, even Gion and the other girls were simply surprised, after all, such examples also existed.
"Let's rest today and talk about it tomorrow. I guess Luffy will come tomorrow."
"It's estimated that he'll also bring Coby, but I have to say, this Coby is really good."
"In just two years, he awakened two types of Haki. Indeed, people who have come into contact with Luffy are quite unusual."
"Mastering Observation Haki and Armament Haki in two years? That's quite a talent." Gion, who was sitting in her office, was slightly surprised by this, as some Marines couldn't awaken either of the two Hakis in their entire lives.
Having both Observation Haki and Armament Haki served as a stepping stone to enter the New World. She didn't expect to meet someone with such talent.
Gion felt that she couldn't stay idle at the Naval Headquarters; she wanted to go sailing, especially since she wanted to meet the guy from the newspaper. If conditions allowed, she would capture him to make him a Marine.
"What's wrong with you?" When Tsuru entered, she saw Gion sitting at her desk sighing, so she asked since Gion had never looked like this before. She was a determined and strong woman.
"It's fine, Sister Tsuru, I just want to recruit some talent for the Marines, but I don't know where to find them." Gion thought for a moment and made an excuse. After all, the newspaper was something that couldn't be disclosed.
She tried to talk about the newspaper, but it was as if an invisible force threatened to kill her instantly the moment she tried to tell someone about Evan's newspaper.
"Don't worry about these things; Sengoku is in charge of recruitment."
"It seems that Tokikake is scheduled to take a break during this time. You should go to Mariejois to ease the pressure of surveillance." She said that she didn't expect Gion to care so much for the sake of the Marines, to the point of going out to look for talent.
Sengoku is constantly looking for a way to recruit talents for the Marine, but most of the Marine talents have been recruited by the Four Emperors. Most of those not recruited by the Four Emperors either die or are recruited by the Marines and turn out to be a bit unhinged with some twisted thoughts.
It's almost as difficult as finding a mythical zoo in the sea.
"Additional leave? I'll just go to the entertainment city for a stroll."
"You should send Admiral Kizaru; I plan to go to the first half of the Grand Line to stop the rise of those pirates with great potential." Gion rolled her eyes; she didn't agree and wanted to relax, but they wouldn't let her.
She also wanted to see the owner of the newspaper in person. How could it be possible that Tokikake delayed this important matter by asking for permission to be lazy?
"... " Tsuru felt that something was off with Gion today, but she didn't say anything since she was right. The Marine had two crusts, one was Tokikake and the other was Borsalino. It seemed like a good idea to have the crusts controlled and balanced between them.
"Then go out, but be careful not to attract too much attention or you might get in trouble." Tsuru had no intention of rejecting Gion, she just gave him a little instruction. It is best to let her out of it since it seems that Gion is not in a good mood during this time.
...
"Is that the Pirate Hunter?" Luffy lay on top of a wall, looking at Zoro, who was tied to a stake and exposed to the sun. Luffy suddenly felt a bit helpless. After all, if he were strong, how could he be tied up here?
"Mr. Luffy, what's going on with your companion? Don't you know each other?" Coby asked cautiously. He unexpectedly spoke about Roronoa Zoro along the way, and Luffy insisted on coming here to recruit that pirate hunter.
It's said that the other party has killed many people just by looking at them. Can you recruit such a monster? And Luffy is going to become a pirate; can a pirate hunter follow the same path?
"Are you talking about Evan!? Don't worry; I have a feeling we'll meet him very soon," Luffy said without any concern for Evan, as he had a feeling they would cross paths very soon.
"I've been waiting for you here, Luffy." At that moment, a figure landed on the same wall as Luffy. It was a young man, 1.90 meters tall, with short black hair and blue eyes. Who else could it be but our protagonist?
Evan knew Luffy's location from the moment he set foot on the island for the first time, trying to confirm if there would be any changes in the plot.
The plot hasn't had major changes, so his butterfly effect is still very small and can't change the initial Straw Hat group members.
"Shishishishishi! Evan, I didn't expect you to be here," Luffy laughed and approached to hug Evan.
