Chapter 80 The Bear's Reminder, the Angry Moria, the Bastard Ninja, the Bastard Kaido!
Meanwhile, Perona, upon receiving the news, immediately activated her ability to find Gecko Moria.
"Halaharahara~"
"Lord Moria, another group of pirates has triggered our trap," Perona said with a smile.
"Hehehehe!"
"Another prey delivered to our doorstep?" Moria laughed loudly. "I wonder if there are any formidable individuals among those who have come this time. I'm really looking forward to seeing Oz get back on his feet."
As long as he has a powerful enough shadow, he can make this powerful body stand up again and become his power!
Moria couldn't help but laugh with excitement at the thought of the power this behemoth could unleash.
"So many people come every year, but there are hardly any truly powerful ones."
"That's true." Moria nodded, then smiled and said, "Go ahead, as always, the pirate ship will follow you."
"yes!"
"Halaharahara~"
Perona passed through the wall beside her and disappeared from the scene.
After Perona left, Moria leaned comfortably against the wall, seemingly planning to take a nap.
"Whoosh~"
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the balcony, immediately catching Moria's attention.
"Oh my, what a rare guest!" Moria stood up, looking at the bear with great interest.
"Bartholomew Kuma, why are you here, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea who is most loyal to the World Government?"
"If you wanted to travel, where would you like to go?"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't give me that crap." Moria scoffed. "What's your Devil Fruit ability?"
I still know.
He didn't want to be sent away by that bastard using his Devil Fruit power. Who knew if he'd be thrown into the sea? Even if he was very strong, he'd still drown.
"You didn't come here just to tell me this, did you?"
"Or are you just bored and want to pick a fight with me?"
At this point, Moria gave a disgusted look, clearly not interested in fighting a bear.
"Of course not."
Bear looked at Moria scrutinizingly and said, "I'm just here to inform you of some things."
"explain."
"Because Crocodile was defeated, there was a vacancy in the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you know that, right?"
"I already knew about this," Moria waved his hand and said, "This is old news from ages ago."
Although newsbirds rarely come here to sell newspapers, boats occasionally appear, sometimes carrying newspapers or similar items.
And this is Moria's source of intelligence.
Xiong nodded and said, "The successor has now been found."
"Who is it?"
"Marshall D. Teach, nicknamed Blackbeard."
"An unfamiliar name." Moria raised an eyebrow. "Who is this person?"
"Rumor has it that he defected from the Whitebeard Pirates."
"White beard?"
Moria was a little surprised; he hadn't expected the other person to come from there.
What is the Whitebeard Pirates?
That was a "large family" led by Whitebeard himself, and all the people under his control were his sons, with whom he had a very deep bond!
Even if they made a mistake, Whitebeard wouldn't blame them too much.
To paraphrase that old man: What father would actually get angry with his son?
As long as the Whitebeard Pirates' ironclad rules are not violated, Whitebeard will forgive his son.
But this guy called Blackbeard actually defected... Could it be that he killed one of Whitebeard's sons?
Thinking about this, Moria became quite interested.
"What did he do?"
"I don't know, I only know that Whitebeard issued a kill order."
"Hehehe, how interesting." Moria laughed, "He not only survived Whitebeard's kill order, but also became a Shichibukai. I'm actually quite curious about him."
"How much is the bounty on his head?"
"zero."
"It's zero..." Moria thought for a moment and said, "Does that mean it represents infinite possibilities?"
?
However, the fact that he survived Whitebeard's pursuit and even gained the World Government's recognition shows that his strength is definitely on par with theirs.
"Okay, I understand."
Seeing that the bear showed no intention of leaving, Moria asked in surprise, "What, do you want me to keep you here for dinner?"
,
"Alright, it's just a meal. I just don't know if you dare to eat the food I give you, hehehe~"
"I have no interest in eating here."
"Then don't spoil my fun," Moria waved his hand and said, "I still need to catch some new shadows later."
The World Government knew exactly what his Devil Fruit ability was, as did the other Seven Warlords of the Sea, so Moria didn't hide anything and told them directly.
"A new shadow?"
"Ah, my men have spotted a group of people who will be arriving at my paradise soon," Moria grinned. "Of course, if you're not in a hurry to leave, you can stay and watch the show."
"Hehehe~"
Upon hearing Moria's words, Kuma immediately thought of the Straw Hat Pirates. Based on the timeline, the probability of the Straw Hat Pirates arriving here was quite high.
The bear narrowed his eyes at the thought of the mission the World Government had given him.
"Before that, take a look at this..."
After finishing speaking, the bear placed a bounty poster and a newspaper on the table, gesturing for Moria to pick them up and take a look.
He knew that Moria had been defeated by Kaido, but he didn't know how Moria would react after seeing the bounty poster for the Blood-Eyed Ninja.
But Moria didn't take it; he just glanced at the bounty poster on top.
Straw Hat Luffy, bounty: 420 million Berries.
"Why are you showing me this?" Moria asked, frowning.
A bounty of over 400 million is indeed a very high amount for ordinary people, but for the Seven Warlords of the Sea, it's nothing.
In the new world, there are countless such players.
"Crocodile was defeated by this person."
"and then?"
"Not long ago, the Straw Hat Pirates wreaked havoc on Enies Lobby, turning the place upside down," Kuma said calmly. "The World Government considers this pirate crew a very serious threat..."
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Moria interrupted. "Stop beating around the bush and just say it!"
"Judging from their route, there's a very high probability they'll come here," Kuma said. "That's why the World Government sent me here to see if you'll become the next Crocodile."
Moria was furious. He finally understood why Bartholomew Bear had come to him.
It turns out that it wasn't to inform him about the new Shichibukai, but rather that those bastards in the World Government were afraid that he, as a Shichibukai, would be defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates!
"Those sheltered idiots think I'd be defeated by a bunch of nobodys?"
"They are not nobodys," Xiong explained. "Their strength is not weak..."
"So what?" Moria interrupted angrily, "It doesn't matter if you don't become famous in the New World!"
They only received a few hundred million in bounty money here; it doesn't mean they possess any great power.
Ultimately, pirates who haven't been to the New World are just fledglings.
"Go back and tell those bastards they'll soon hear the news of the Straw Hat Pirates' annihilation," Moria said coldly. "And don't bother me with this kind of thing again, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
The bear didn't speak, it just stared at Moria.
Moria stared at him, and the two remained silent.
After a moment, Xiong said, "I will pass it on."
"Alright, I don't have time for you," Moria said irritably. "Get out of my sight."
Kuma calmly looked at Moria, then silently activated his ability, instantly disappearing from the spot.
Moria didn't care. Let that bastard go wherever he wants, as long as he doesn't appear in front of him.
"Lord Moria, someone just appeared..." Before the little zombie could finish speaking, he noticed his master looking at him with displeasure.
"Moria...Lord?"
"Alright, alright, this is none of your business. Go on your way," Moria said, waving his hand.
He also knew that the bear was very strong, and even if his zombie soldiers wanted to stop it or send a message, they couldn't do it, so he didn't blame it.
After his men left, Moria glanced at the newspaper beside him, picked it up, and read it.
"The Straw Hat Pirates wreak havoc on Enies Lobby?" Moria chuckled and said, "That's quite an exaggerated headline."
"I guess this is just another one of Morgans' attempts to grab attention."
Moria figured that the Straw Hat Pirates probably only managed to reach a certain area of Enies Lobby before managing to escape.
Who knows how heavy a price they paid in the process?
The Straw Hat Pirates...
As if possessed, Moria picked up Luffy's wanted poster and glanced at it, then noticed the wanted poster belonging to Xiyan below.
"Ninja... ninja?"
Moria's hands trembled slightly as he subconsciously picked up the bounty poster for west Yan. After looking at the contents of the poster, Moria fell silent.
What is a ninja?
Those are special assassins that only Wano Country possesses; they don't exist anywhere else!
Does the appearance of this ninja mean that Kaido intends to extend his reach into the Grand Line?
Recalling Kaido's terrifying appearance, Moria's body began to tremble, but not from fear, but from rage!
At this moment, the memories buried deep in his heart were awakened once again.
The scenes of his companions' tragic deaths flashed through his mind again, plunging Moria into a state of rage.
"Kaido!!"
"I don't know what you're trying to do, but now that I've run into you, you're not getting away with it!"
Moriah laughed as he looked at Xiyan's bounty poster.
"Before we take revenge, let's collect some interest first!"
Hearing Moria's roar, the bear standing outside said, "So he really got provoked—"
Dorag, your son will likely arrive here soon.
This time, let me witness it with my own eyes.
"Ah... we finally made it through." Nami said, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"The weather here is really outrageous," west Yan complained. "It changes in the blink of an eye."
The rain just now was heavier than I imagined; it was so heavy it was practically steaming.
"Because this is the Grand Line."
"That's right, the Grand Line is just that fascinating, hahaha!"
Luffy laughed heartily, not finding the heavy rain a problem at all, but rather finding the weather quite amusing.
"What if there's an ice storm?"
"Of course we run!" Usopp shrugged. "We can't just wait to die."
"That's right, we have the best navigator!"
"Hahaha."
"Seriously, you guys really know how to compliment people," Nami said shyly.
"More than that, I think you should take a look at your surroundings," Zoro said, glancing around. "This fog is acting strangely."
"fog.....
Nami's expression changed, and she immediately looked down at her Log Pointer, but there was no change.
"Could it be that we've entered that area of the sea?"
"Ah, we've arrived at Fishman Island already!" Usopp exclaimed excitedly.
Fishman Island!
Grandma Kokoro said that the place is full of young and beautiful mermaids; it must be a dreamlike place!
"No, that's not it." Luffy quietly crept up behind Usopp and whispered in his ear in a somber tone, "Before we get to Fishman Island, we need to cross a sea full of monsters."
"ghost....
Usopp shuddered, and cold sweat immediately appeared on his face.
"That's right, brothers," Franky said in a sinister tone, "we've most likely entered the legendary Devil's Triangle now."
"No matter how you get in, you'll magically disappear into this terrifying sea!"
"Hey, don't say such scary things!"
"Not all of it is scary," Sanji grinned. "But Usopp, you don't need to worry too much. It's just that a hundred ships disappear here every year."
"ah!!!"
"Please stop talking! Please stop!"
Usopp and Chopper were terrified. Why did they end up in such a terrifying sea, you bastards!
"west Yan, is there really a ghost...?" Mei Li grabbed west Yan's trouser leg and subconsciously swallowed.
"Probably not," west Yan said after thinking for a moment.
He wasn't particularly afraid; he figured he could just take out any enemies he encountered.
"Not necessarily," Nico Robin said calmly. "If even a ship spirit like Merry, who is beyond imagination, exists, then it's quite reasonable for ghosts and such to exist as well."
"For example, some people who died tragically were resurrected in this place filled with resentment."
Nami:
Seeing Robin calmly utter such terrifying words, Nami burst into tears.
"Robin... please, can you not say such terrible things with such a calm expression?" Nami hugged Robin and said, "I really beg you."
Of all the other people's words, none of Robin's words were as impactful, because Merry was indeed a real person!
Robin just smiled and didn't say anything.
"Huh?"
Meili suddenly paused, then looked at Xiyan and said, "Xiyan, could those so-called ghosts be the ship spirits that got lost here?"
"Well... I'm not sure either," west Yan said hesitantly, "but it's not impossible."
Mei Li's words really gave west Yan a lot more to think about.
"They're so pitiful..." Melie said, clutching her small hands tightly. "Can't we free them?"
"We'll have to wait and see after we encounter that."
Mei nodded, her eyes gradually hardening. If she were to encounter a lost ship spirit, she was willing to help it find its way out.
"Although we've only ever seen one ship spirit, Meryl, who can guarantee that Meryl is the only one?" Franky thought for a moment and said, "At least a hundred ships disappear here every year, so maybe a ship spirit will be born there too."
"But... they can't leave here and they owe money."
Hearing Franky say this, Usopp's fear lessened considerably.
"Then we..."
Before Usopp could finish speaking, a strange sound came from afar.
Along with the creaking of the moving ship, a man's voice echoed across the sea.
"Yohohoho~"
"Yo-ho yo-ho~"
"Yohohoho~"
"Yo-ho yo-ho~"
"There's...there's a ghost!!"
