After dinner, everyone fell asleep. At about midnight, the moonlight shone into the cave, and the concealment of plants actually added a bit of comfort to the cave.

At this time, Zhang Yang slowly got up and walked outside the cave with caution without making any sound.

"It seems that I am not the only one who appreciates this moonlight." Suddenly, Zoro's voice came from Zhang Yang's head.

Zhang Yang immediately looked up and saw a spitting rock on the rock wall. Zoro was holding a wine glass in his hand and looking at him with a smile.

"Why? I don't believe me so I come to watch the night. Are you afraid that I will harm you?" Zhang Yang said jokingly, and immediately sat next to Zoro after a few jumps.

"Idiot, since we dare to come with you, we are not afraid of you harming us." Zoro handed over a glass of wine and said with a smile: "I just can't sleep, so I came out to enjoy the moon."

"Is that so? Not bad." Zhang Yang smiled bitterly.

"Aren't you?" Zoro asked.

"No, actually I don't like the moon. On the contrary, I'm very bright in the night like this." Zhang Yang looked up at the moon, and there was indeed a bit of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Why?" Zoro asked casually.

"It was on such a night that I was betrayed by my so-called allies, and all my tribe members were killed." Zhang Yang clenched his fists, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked." Zoro said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, it's been so long anyway." Zhang Yang smiled bitterly again, then looked at Zoro with some relief and said, "That day happened to be my 18th birthday. According to the rules of our tribe, once the men in the tribe grow to the age of eighteen, they must hold a huge birthday party for them, because after that we will go to the sea to become a powerful sea warrior, and that night.

But unlike in the past, the people who attended our banquet that day were also our allies. Everything was the same as before. Everyone gathered around the bonfire, sang songs from their hometown, and danced on our traditional stage, but none of us expected that that night would become the night of our extermination."

Zhang Yang's fist clenched again, and the blue veins on his forehead also jumped with the fluctuations of his emotions: "The first one to be killed was our Great Elder. His chest was pierced directly, and then countless shells were bombarded at us, because we were not ready for battle at all, and with the death of the Great Elder, we were completely in chaos. Immediately, the navy pirates rushed up from some point and surrounded us. We wanted to resist, but none of us thought that those bastards were wiggling in our meals. We were completely powerless and had no way to fight."

Zhang Yang looked ahead viciously. Zoro knew that the scene of that day must have appeared in front of him again: "At that time, our second elder begged them, hoping that they could give up their hands, at least let them go, but we underestimated their cruelty. They killed the second elder, and then killed our tribe one by one without any mercy. The scene at that time was too chaotic. The only thing I remember was that one of them could use the power of darkness.

But we are born with extremely strong resistance. They know this, so the massacre is very fast. Just when their massacre is about to come to me, my mother took the lead in breaking free from the shackles. She held me and kept running. The navy and pirates behind her were not only chasing us, but they fired at us. I could see the blood that kept pouring out of the bullets into my mother's body, but she did not slow down at all, because she knew that we would both die once we stopped."

Zhang Yang's eyes no longer resentful, but instead added a bit of sadness.

"Finally, under the pressure of those guys, we fled to the edge of the cliff. My mother knew that there was no hope of escaping, so she decided to gamble and push me off the cliff. At the same time, I saw with my own eyes that the guy who used the power of darkness penetrated my mother with one hand. I will never forget the surprise and anger on my face at the last moment before my mother died."

"Didn't you think about taking revenge?" Zoro asked casually.

"How could it be that not? Since that day, I have been practicing continuously, so that one day I can avenge my tribe!" Zhang Yang said angrily, clenching his fists, "But I didn't expect that those people believed that I was not dead when they saw me falling off the cliff. In the past year and a half, no matter how I hide, they could find my whereabouts. They kept chasing me and I ran as much as possible. When there was no way, I fought with them.

But they have too many people and are all very strong. After countless wars, I became what I am now."

Zhang Yang pointed at the wound on his body casually.

"It seems that your existence is a threat to them." Zoro said, looking at the wine in the glass: "I think your family should be quite amazing to make the Navy pursue you so relentlessly."

"No matter what's wrong, it's all dead?" Zhang Yang said helplessly.

"Disasters always come one after another, which is the common sense in the world." Zoro whispered, and Zhang Yang looked at Zoro with a deep affection. Zoro turned to Zhang Yang and smiled, and then drank the wine in his glass: "In short, that's what it is to live, and it's impossible to become stronger by blindly escaping. Thank you for telling me these things, it's time to rest."

After saying that, Zoro jumped off the rock and returned to the cave. Zhang Yang looked down at the shadow of the moon reflected in his cup, and recalled everything that happened in the past. At the end, Zoro's words also emerged in his mind.

"Is that the thing about being alive?" Zhang Yang said in a low voice, then snorted and drank all the wine in his glass in one breath. He stood up and threw his glass into the air with force. He pulled out the big knife behind him and held it tightly with his hands. The moment the wine glass intersected with the moonlight, he suddenly waved it. A sword energy sprayed out and immediately shattered the water cup into two pieces as if it was splitting the moon.

"Anyway, let's do it." Zhang Yang whispered as he carried the big knife behind him again.

The next day, after everyone got up, they suddenly found that there was no Zhang Yang in the cave. After searching around, they only found a note in the cave.

"I marked you out on the tree, and you can take away the supplies in the cave."

Although everyone was puzzled, they still equipped the supplies as they wrote on Zhang Yang's note.

"What, this guy, you're obviously a good guy, and you can leave." Luffy was still wondering on the road. Zoro was more thinking about the exchanges he had last night.
