Chapter 378: Departing the Moon, Hancock’s Growth
Exploring the moon was a daunting task in the beginning. After all, the moon wasn’t small, and there were too few people available. Even though Mio and his team possessed strength, speed, and enhanced Observation Haki, completing a thorough exploration wasn’t going to be easy.
But with the help of the robots, everything became more manageable.
And these robots weren’t the only ones either. According to the small robot’s report, there were nearly 3,000 of them in total. While their combat strength was decent, they weren’t particularly fond of fighting, as it consumed excessive energy. What they truly enjoyed was research and production—developing and creating new technologies.
Soon after, Mio assigned everyone to different tasks.
There was no plan to advance together.
Michelle and Robin stayed as a pair, while the others took groups of robots to awaken more dormant units across the moon and begin large-scale exploration.
...
The moon’s surface was riddled with craters and pits. Mio and Robin moved in one direction, scanning as they walked. Mio kept his Observation Haki activated the entire time, probing even below the surface. If the King truly resided on the moon, it would most likely be hidden deep underground.
"Captain, I have a question," Robin said suddenly as they walked.
Mio nodded. "Ask away."
"I’ve learned a lot from the historical texts, and the scholars at O’Hara told me about it too. Eight hundred years ago, there was a great kingdom that ruled most of the seas, especially the New World. Other nations were its vassals—similar to how the World Government now has member countries."
