Chapter 140: The Name of Moria
With the cooperation of Moria and the navy, Moria and Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel, based on the principle of fighting if they can win and running if they can't win, have reaped a lot along the way.
More than a dozen pirates with bounties of over 100 million have been captured, but their bounties are basically between 100 million and 300 million berries. Among them, the pirate with the highest bounty has reached 500 million berries.
Facing such an opponent, he naturally wouldn't fight hard. Under Moria's acting skills, he fought and fled at the same time, and finally led him into the encirclement of Aokiji and annihilated him in one fell swoop.
But what made Moria a little frustrated was that the navy took all these pirates away, not even leaving a corpse for Moria, especially warning Moria not to think about leaving the shadow of these pirates, which made Moria very helpless.
It turned out that he was now completely reduced to a worker of the navy.
But Moria didn't dare to have any complaints, because now, Moria really didn't dare to wander around the New World alone.
With his small arms and legs, he would probably be captured the next day.
Moria knew that among the pirate groups that were interested in him, there was also a Big Mom Pirate Group. Charlotte Linlin not only liked his Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability, but also liked him as a person, saying that she wanted to capture him and make him her new husband.
Moria's scalp tingled when he thought of this.
Moria would rather be captured by the navy and imprisoned in the Impel Downs than fall into the clutches of Big Mom.
Although Big Mom has not changed her appearance and her figure is still slim, Moria will never accept this kind of thing anyway.
The motivation of the navy to do this is also to prevent Moria from becoming bigger.
After Moria showed the big move of the Shadow Gathering Ground, the navy collected detailed information on Moria's ability. Soon, all the moves Moria had used before were recorded in detail.
The two abilities that the navy fears the most are the shadow gathering place and the ability to create zombies.
You, Moria, are expanding the hospital and recruiting people. Although you are injured and can no longer use the shadow gathering place, you, Moria, still have so many subordinates!
You can't use it yourself, but you can still give these shadows to your subordinates.
Moreover, you can also create so many zombies, which is equivalent to you being able to fight against thousands of troops.
This is terrifying!
In the first half of the Grand Line, you can do whatever you want with the shadows and corpses of those pirates. After all, there are very few pirates with bounties of over 100 million. You have the confidence to suppress them no matter how many shadows and corpses you collect. The strength gap is there.
But the New World is different. Those who can reach the New World are not very good. How can they survive?
What's more, at this point in time, those who dare to attack Moria are all powerful pirates. It is very troublesome for the navy to catch them.
If you, Moria, get the shadows and corpses of these powerful people in the New World, wouldn't you be able to copy an extremely powerful zombie army?
In addition, using the shadows of these powerful people to improve the strength of your subordinates, wouldn't you be able to fly to the sky in an instant.
So, Moria, if you want to collect shadows and corpses, then go back to the Grand Line and do whatever you want, but this is absolutely not allowed in the New World.
Having said that, Moria can do nothing but surrender.
However, Moria is not without gain.
After this period of high-intensity fighting, Moria's devil fruit ability has reached a higher level.
Moria has mastered the moves such as flying bats, shadow horn impact, shadow warrior, and shadow ball. Combined with his own physical skills and domineering, he has vaguely touched the threshold of the quasi-general.
Sure enough, I am more suitable to be a mage with meat clothes.
Both output and defense.
It's perfect!
Not only Moria, but also these subordinates of mine have made a lot of progress. I believe they will be able to stand alone soon.
However, the one who made the most progress was Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel.
After Moria had stuffed several shadows of swordsmen in succession, Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel's swordsmanship perception instantly improved by several levels in the past few days, and his attainments in swordsmanship were greatly improved.
More importantly, Flying Squirrel had a deeper understanding of his future path. Before, physical skills and swordsmanship went hand in hand, but now it seems that Flying Squirrel's own attainments in swordsmanship are higher.
Therefore, the future path will be based on swordsmanship, with physical skills as the pavement.
Looking at Flying Squirrel, who was getting braver and braver, his eyes became more and more fierce, and his body was full of sword energy. One after another, the pirate with 300 million berries was in a mess.
The situation in front of him was not expected by Moria.
Those shadows were just stuffed in by Moria casually. Who knew that it was such a coincidence that they were all swordsmen. Who could have expected that Flying Squirrel would gain insights from them and his swordsmanship would soar.
Moriah, does this count as changing the course of history?
Kizaru, who was hiding on Moriah's ship, noticed this change and naturally couldn't let Moriah destroy the flying squirrel's chance.
Moriah was forced to succumb to Kizaru's threats. In every battle, he had to insert a few swordsman's shadows into the flying squirrel from time to time to gain as much insight as possible.
Even the original planned route was changed. Originally, they just wanted to use Moria to attract those pirates, but now, they have become proactive, especially those pirates with good swordsmanship.
So, originally they were just wandering around the side close to the Red Earth Continent, but now they are actively going deep into the New World.
As for going deep into the New World, Moria is actually a hundred times unwilling in his heart, for fear of being torn apart by those New World pirates.
You know, Moria is now famous in the New World.
Using Moria as bait, naturally, it requires exposure.
Moria, you wander around, not in a fixed place, how can others find you?
Therefore, every time Moria defeats a pirate, the navy will take a photo of him and put him on the news.
In this way, the whole world, who originally looked down on Moria as a Shichibukai, began to pay attention to Moria as Moria's remarkable "records" one after another.
But this is not Moria's real "achievement". After all, it is impossible to deal with so many pirates by himself, not to mention the pirate with a bounty of 500 million Baileys.
These are all intentional. After all, if you know that Moria has two admirals following him, who would be so stupid to come up, even Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel who is with Moria was just skipped.
The purpose is to downplay the existence of the navy, and these brilliant "achievements" are just your reward to Moria!
Therefore, with the help of the navy, Moria has become the "most powerful Seven Warlords of the Sea Pirate Group", and Hawkeye is the "Seven Warlords of the Sea Strongest".
Although both have the word "strongest", the difference between them is more than a little bit. After all, a pirate group is a pirate group, and an individual is an individual, and they cannot be confused.
Moria is still very excited to get this title. After all, who doesn't want to have a greater reputation?
But the title is just a title. If you really compare Moria with Hawkeye, they will definitely lose. With one sword, no matter how big your pirate group is, it will sink to the bottom of the sea in an instant.
I hope Hawkeye will not blame me. Now in the newspapers, there is a vague trend that Moria will become the "First of the Seven Warlords of the Sea". Moria really can't bear this title. If the proud Hawkeye insists on coming to compete, I'm afraid I will be cut in half by him.
These are all shows, all fake!
