Anos, who left the palace hall of Amazon Lily, did not show any curiosity about this small island.
He walked directly along the avenue in front of the palace and headed straight toward the pirate ship.
He had no interest in breaking the rules of this place, as such actions were unnecessary for him.
At this late hour, the entire Island was quite lively, with the main avenue bustling with people coming and going.
As Anos passed by, countless eyes followed him. Some even wanted to approach him, but they refrained.
After all, this man had been brought in by their Empress, and their behaviour remained courteous and reserved.
"Your Majesty, are you heading to the pirate ship now?" Daiki, who had been quietly following behind, suddenly walked forward and asked.
"No. Let's just find a place to rest and chat. We'll wait until tomorrow morning," Anos replied calmly. His expression showed no trace of anger, and it seemed he had already put aside his earlier encounter with Abona.
However, not far behind them, Abona had been silently trailing after him. While Anos seemed to have moved on, Abona was still steeped in self-recrimination.
"Daiki, how is your Devil Fruit training progressing?" Anos asked, abruptly changing the subject.
He glanced at the large, round moon hanging in the sky. The sight reminded him of Daiki's Devil Fruit the Silver Moon Wolf. Could its abilities be connected to the moon?
"Ah? Your Majesty, I haven't had much time to practice it yet. I planned to get familiar with it later, but I've already learned the basic combat skills," Daiki responded awkwardly.
"Let's head to a secluded spot. I want to see how your abilities react under moonlight. It might reveal something important for your future growth!" Anos said with interest.
"Yes!" Daiki's anticipation grew at Anos's words.
The two made their way to a remote coastal area, about two or three miles from the port.
Here, the shoreline was calm, thanks to the windless zone. Though the waters hid immense sea creatures, neither of them cared at the moment.
"Now, let me see the full potential of your Silver Moon Wolf!" Anos shouted eagerly.
Daiki didn't hesitate. Activating his Devil Fruit powers, he transformed into a werewolf almost instantly.
At first, his wolf form retained black fur, save for a white ring around his neck. But under the moonlight, his fur began to turn silvery white, and his size gradually increased.
"Your Majesty, I've discovered the Silver Moon Wolf's true potential under moonlight!" Daiki exclaimed excitedly, his lupine eyes glowing as he examined his transformed body.
"What is it?" Anos asked, observing intently.
"Under the moonlight, the Silver Moon Wolf, a mythical Zoan-type of the Wolf-Wolf Fruit, gains an immortal body!" Daiki declared, his voice brimming with excitement.
"Oh? That's impressive..." Anos said, his expression betraying genuine surprise. Yet, without hesitation, he tested Daiki's claim. In a flash, his demon sword, Muramasa, slashed Daiki's shoulder.
"Ah!!" Daiki yelped in shock, instinctively leaping back several meters. "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
But Anos only watched in fascination. The slash, infused with Haki, should have been devastating.
Yet Daiki remained unharmed; even the wound vanished as if it had never existed.
"It's true! I didn't expect the Silver Moon Wolf to have such extraordinary abilities," Anos mused, his tone tinged with approval.
"Your Majesty, you gave me such a fright, but this power is incredible," Daiki said, marvelling at his resilience. The revelation left him ecstatic. Under moonlight, he was virtually untouchable.
However, Anos remained analytical. "While your ability is remarkable, don't get complacent. Without moonlight, your strength is likely far less formidable."
"Understood, Your Majesty! I'll make sure to master this power," Daiki said, though his excitement suggested he wasn't entirely focused.
Anos, noticing this, decided a lesson was in order. From his seat on a nearby rock, his eyes turned sky-blue, and with a simple hand gesture, he conjured a transparent cube that trapped Daiki, instantly squeezing him into the cube.
"You see? Even with an immortal body, your abilities are useless if you're restrained," Anos remarked with a wry smile.
Daiki, bewildered by the sudden confinement, struggled in vain. "What is this?!"
"This is a reminder. No matter how strong you think you are, underestimating others can lead to your downfall. Control your powers, and don't waste such a gift," Anos said firmly.
Humbled, Daiki nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty. I'll work harder to improve."
Satisfied, Anos released him from the cube. Though Daiki had been shaken, he couldn't deny the wisdom in his king's words.
As the two resumed their conversation under the silvery moonlight, the future of their journey seemed even more promising.
