— Ohara? What the hell of a place is that? — Shiki pondered.
— That's why I want you to read more! — complained Kazan.
Ohara is a renowned archaeological mecca in the West Sea and a true find for scholars.
Ohara is also home to the largest library in the world, the Tree of Knowledge.
For Kazan, he needs to read the updates.
Ohara's status certainly belongs to the level of the Holy Land.
So.
During the years Shiki studied the art of swordsmanship, Kazan had already learned everything about Ohara.
Including its location, routes, currents, wind direction...
From the moment the naval ship set out to sea, its target was Ohara.
Kazan was not at all worried about his identity as a pirate.
Even though the bounty on his head had been reduced, would scholars care about news of a wanted order?
Of course not.
Besides, my trip to Ohara is not to commit any deceit.
Considering that the two brothers are only thirteen years old, even if they have strength, no matter how madly they act at such a young age, it cannot be convincing, plus with various figures at sea, no one knows where they are scattered, and it's still too early to leave this era.
For two little children, it's a challenging task to gather a crew.
Seeing this, Ace and Luffy waited until they were seventeen to set out to sea, and that's a reason, too.
Therefore.
Spending some time in Ohara becomes a mission for Kazan.
...
Unintentionally.
The warships roared like the wind.
The brothers were getting closer and closer to their goal.
Then.
In Kazan's mind, the active signal from the System finally sounded again.
— Ding!
— It has been detected that the host is about to pass through the archaeological sanctuary, Ohara. Experience +50000! Luck +20!
— Congratulations to the host for acquiring a new skill: Observation haki!
— Congratulations to the host for acquiring a new skill: Armament haki!
— Congratulations to the host for acquiring a new skill: Float Fruit!
Shhh——!
The sounds of the System ended, and Kazan's spirit lifted.
— Three skills!
Does the System really give so many skills?
Don't let those previously accumulated reading points go to waste!
Moreover, the new skills were just right.
Kazan understood deep down.
He has a system that can make him stronger in a stable environment.
But his younger brother, Shiki, doesn't know about it.
This trip to Ohara is a treasure trove of upgrades for him.
For Shiki, it may only be considered a temporary shelter.
It's far from as fast-paced as battling pirates at sea.
However, the awakening of a new skill changes the situation.
Kazan has mastered the teachings of observation haki and Armament haki, equivalent to learning two colors of haki. He can fully share the experience with Shiki, allowing him to get acquainted with highly advanced combat skills at sea early on, planting the seeds of power from a young age.
Immediately.
Kazan opened the panel and silently said, "System! I'm going to allocate the points!"
"Distribute all remaining experience points equally among the new three skills!"
— Ding!
"Point distribution completed!"

In the entire pirate world, combat methods can be classified as follows:
Physical training, swordsmanship, domination, Devil Fruit.
These four combat techniques are of great importance.
Kazan decided to first prioritize the balanced development of swordsmanship, haki, and Devil Fruits.
As for physical training?
Let's not even mention that there are no skills in physical training yet.
Even if they appear, Kazan has sword pockets and is in no rush to develop physical training.
Because swordsmanship also includes some physical skills.
"Brother, there's an island ahead. I've never seen such a huge tree before!"
"This is crazy!"
Shiki stood at the bow of the ship, looking at everything below, his face full of wonder.
It seemed as if he had never ventured into the world before.
"Is that Ohara?" Shiki asked curiously.
"Right..."
Kazan explained the situation in Ohara to Shiki.
By the time the explanation ended, they were already above Ohara.
They maneuvered to direct the naval ship towards the opening cape.
The island of Ohara is not very big; the shadow of the Tree of Knowledge covers half of the island. The island's residents are scholars, there aren't many fireworks here, and the village is very small.
They docked the naval ship at an inconvenient mouth of the cape.
They didn't choose the lake on the island.
Firstly, Kazan didn't want the residents of Ohara to witness the strange phenomenon of a naval ship falling from the sky, thus avoiding unnecessary trouble.
Secondly, the opening of the cape could effectively hide the ships, keeping them away from the island's residents, while avoiding the strong winds and preventing passing sailboats from discovering the docked naval ship in Ohara.
Additionally.
This naval vessel is quite high-class accommodation, so it was simply preserved intact.
After the naval ship stopped,
Kazan asked Shiki to secure the ship.
Just as Shiki, with a joyful and thrilled face, unsheathed the katana on his belt, preparing to land on the island, Kazan unexpectedly stopped him and said:
"Shiki, you look peculiar and intimidating, the island is filled with scholars, don't go ashore!"
Shiki pointed to his Wanted Poster and shouted:
"No, brother, do I really look that scary?"
"Don't doubt yourself, Shiki."
"You're my own brother!!!"
Kazan tossed his katana directly to Shiki,
"This reef is very flat; you'll be able to practice your swordsmanship well. Remember, don't make too much noise. First, I'll get accustomed to the human surroundings on the island, and then we'll think about letting you land."
Shiki responded earnestly:
"Oh yes, yes, I'll just stay here."
Kazan said:
"I'll come back and teach you some advanced combat techniques."
Shiki replied:
"Brother, I swore never to set foot on the island!"
