Chapter 127: Dressrosa
It is not a good time for Moria to come to the New World now. If he is not careful, his life will be in danger.
But Moria does not want to miss this big melee.
The battle that took place in the New World once can be said to be the largest battle in recent years. The next time there is such a big battle, I am afraid it will have to wait until the war on the top.
A battle of this scale will inevitably have a large number of strong men falling, and there are even many big pirates with bounties of more than 1 billion. Moria does not want to waste this opportunity. This is the best time to pick up corpses.
If you want such a strong man in the future, you can only look for it in the Four Emperors Pirate Group, but this will undoubtedly make Moria very passive. It is not so easy to deal with the Four Emperors.
Moreover, Moria's current strength has reached a bottleneck. If he wants to grow rapidly and break through to the strength of a quasi-admiral, he can only do it through hard work. This kind of thing cannot be rushed.
Since his own strength has reached a bottleneck period, if he wants to grow his own strength rapidly, he can only rely on external objects.
These super powerful pirate corpses are Moria's best choice. Preserving these corpses and finding suitable shadows to make zombie generals will undoubtedly greatly increase Moria's power in a short period of time.
Moria pays great attention to the cultivation of young people and has specially organized a group of people to go to war-torn places or slums. The temptation is to buy slaves. In short, go to various places to search for strong-willed orphans, bring them back for initial training for a period of time, and then Moria uses the observation color to sense their talents, and combines the performance of these orphans and their respective wishes to group them and implement special training.
Those with stronger talents tend to fight, while those with weaker talents tend to be technical.
In short, these children will receive corresponding training.
For the time being, in order to conceal his tracks, Moria set up this training base in Tiemu Town. At present, the first batch of 100 orphans collected have been in place and started preliminary training.
However, all this takes time. It will take at least five years for this first batch of orphans to meet the standards, which can't make up for the current predicament of Moria's lack of strong people.
Apart from Moria himself, the only strong man who can show off is the old swordsman. Whether it is the elite members of the team or Kane, who has excellent kendo talent, they still need a certain amount of time to grow.
Moreover, strictly speaking, the old swordsman is not a main force. Although he has been nourished by Moria's essence and recovered to the strength of a vice admiral after being recuperated by a doctor, the old swordsman is old and his body functions have declined. He can only exert 70% of his strength when he was young. In addition, the old swordsman mainly guides training and generally does not participate in battles, so he cannot be considered a combat member.
Now Moria urgently needs a few powerful subordinates to make the transition.
And the best way is to take advantage of this big melee in the new world and pick up corpses behind.
Not long after arriving in the new world, there were three more corpses in Moria's cold storage room, and Moria also captured a pirate captain alive.
These three corpses and the pirate are all pirates with a bounty of 300 million Baileys. Although there were certain casualties in order to get these, it was all worth it. The zombies made from these corpses and shadows will definitely be stronger than those zombie generals of Moria in the original work.
Although zombies made from them will definitely not be able to exert the strength of their original bodies, zombies made from these pirates with bounties exceeding 300 million berries will have no problem dealing with pirates with bounties of 100 million berries.
In the original work, Moria got the corpses of those legendary pirates from nowhere, which looked scary, but he actually didn't have much use.
You know, the strength of zombies is not only related to the original body and shadow, but also to the degree of preservation of the corpse.
Those corpses that have been buried underground for more than ten or twenty years, no matter how powerful they were when they were alive, even the corpse of Pirate King Roger, has been buried for so long, the zombies made from them can't exert the strength of the original body at all, or even less.
Only the Ryoma Swordsman who fought against Zoro has a decent strength. The other zombie generals made by Moria look very intimidating, but they are actually just larger cannon fodder, not to mention the zombie soldiers.
Anyway, in the original work, Moria stayed in the Thriller Bark for so long, and the zombies he made were not up to standard at all, which was a complete waste of time. That is, in the first half of the Grand Line, he could deal with some shrimps, but in the New World, they were all cannon fodder.
I really don't know what the point of doing this is.
Although Moria now has no hobby of digging graves and collecting decayed corpses, now is a rare opportunity, Moria will not let go of so many corpses of strong people.
Another point is that the Navy has issued a call-up message, which is different from the Seven Warlords of the Sea Call issued by the World Government. It is not a mandatory measure, but an employment relationship. The Navy employs the Seven Warlords of the Sea to do things for them, and the reward paid to the Seven Warlords of the Sea is generally a corresponding bounty.
However, when Admiral Aokiji invited Moria to become a Seven Warlords of the Sea, he forced Moria to do something for the Navy, and now the Navy asked Moria to come to the New World for support.
This is also a helpless thing. After all, the Seven Warlords of the Sea enjoy so many benefits, and naturally have to pay the corresponding price.
There is no other way. Moria must come to the New World once, after all, he has already promised the Navy.
Fortunately, the Navy also knows that it is not realistic to let Moria come to the New World to capture pirates. If Moria really has this ability, he will naturally continue to stay in the New World and will not become a Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Therefore, the Navy's task for Moria is to assist Aokiji in clearing the pirates near the Red Earth Continent. The main task is to guard Dressrosa, which is one of the few countries that have joined the World Government in the New World.
This task happens to be related to Moria's other purpose of coming to the New World, which is to bring the dwarfs back.
The planting technology of the dwarfs is one of the best, which is undoubtedly a great help for Moria to plant many plants on the ship. With the dwarfs, there is no need to worry about the medicinal materials. At the same time, after a period of assessment, some dwarfs can be selected to help plant Yuancao, which is the top priority.
Until now, although Lington and the old swordsman have grown a batch of Yuancao according to the data, this batch of Yuancao grows slowly, the quality is uneven, and the survival rate is only 1/5. Moria's plan to extract Yuanli on a large scale and conduct research is simply not feasible, so now the problem of Yuancao cultivation must be solved.
The dwarfs are the best solution. They can even make things like artificial devil fruits. Moria doesn't believe that Yuancao will not grow well.
At the same time, Moria is very envious of the healing fruit of the dwarf princess Mansherry. This fruit is simply tailor-made for Moria's hospital.
In short, after Moria arrived in Dressrosa, he was confident that the dwarfs would voluntarily board the ship. He may not be able to fool those shrewd politicians, but can Moria still handle these naive dwarfs?
No, it can't be considered a bluff, it should be said to be a fact.
After handing over to Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel, Moria officially set foot on the country of Dressrosa.
