Chapter 170: Greedy Moria

To carry out many of the next plans, Moriah can't stay in the Terror Bark any longer.

After being in seclusion for so long, it's time to go out and walk around.

And Moriah's first stop is to the Seven Water City, which is adjacent to the Magic Triangle.

Moriah didn't forget that according to the timeline, Tom the Fishman was killed during this period. The main reason was that the World Government wanted to seize the design drawings of Pluto.

And the character in the plot, Spandam, the head of CP9, will also appear at this time. Of course, he is not the head of CP9 yet.

For Moriah, such a person is the best object to use the Shadow Technique, and he can use it to get to know the mysterious spy organization of the World Government.

Of course, if we talk about growth, Lucci, who has just joined CP9, is the best choice. After all, many years later, Lucci's growth is visible to the naked eye. He joined CP0 and became Spandam's boss.

However, Moriah didn't know where Lucci was now. Maybe he was training at a training base of the World Government, or maybe he was somewhere else.

To put it bluntly, Moriah didn't know where the other party was. Otherwise, Lucci would definitely be a better choice.

Of course, who can tell what will happen in the future?

Spandam has a father who holds a high position in the CP organization. The relationship he left behind is enough to save him many years of struggle. Moreover, even if he didn't change his trajectory, Spandam would have become CP0.

Under the influence of the Shadow Technique, Moriah can subtly influence Spandam. Although his original character is still the main one, it is still possible to make him avoid the detours in the original work.

In fact, in Moriah's view, Spandam's biggest shortcoming is his own strength problem, even if he is trained a little bit.

Think about it from another perspective. A weak person whose dao power is not even as good as that of an ordinary navy soldier can step up to a high position in this monster-like pirate world, and even enter CP0. Even if he has a good father, it is useless if he does not have some skills and a great background.

Of course, it is another matter for people like the Celestial Dragons or the Five Elders.

Anyway, Moriah thinks that Spandam cannot compete with him in terms of job management and power struggle. If he puts himself in the same position, he may not do as well as him.

As long as Moriah can make up for his shortcomings and guide him a little, Spandam's life will definitely go higher and further.

Moriah's pirate ship came to the Seven Waters City. For this phenomenon, the people of the Seven Waters City have long been accustomed to it.

After all, the transformation of the terrifying three-masted sailboat is such a huge project, and it is inevitable to say hello to these shipyards in the Seven Waters City. Now, most of the shipyards in the Seven Waters City have participated in Moriah's transformation project.

Every day, various materials and personnel come and go in an endless stream. Everyone is familiar with the flag of Moria's pirate ship.

Moreover, in order to avoid so much trouble, the old swordsman also directly acquired a shipyard in the Seven Waters City as a base to greet the various shipyards in the Seven Waters City.

As for Moria's personal visit to the Seven Waters City, everyone just looked at it curiously, and then stopped paying attention and continued to do their own things.

In short, during this period of time, the outside world's impression of the Moria Pirates is one word, money, crazy money.

All pirates who pass through the route of the Magic Triangle will suffer from Moria's exploitation.

Moria directly set up a checkpoint on the route through the Magic Triangle. Dozens of pirate ships are lined up in a row, and the dense cannons on the ship make people shudder.

As long as you are a pirate, if you want to pass through here, you must pay 100,000 Baileys, which is called the navigation fee.

Of course, if the pirate group accepts the mission issued by Moria, as long as they show the certificate, they can pass for free.

For civilians, this amount is much less, and they only need to pay a management fee of one thousand Baileys. As for merchant ships, it is slightly more expensive and they need to pay 10,000 Baileys.

Although the amount is not much, the ships coming and going, if you calculate carefully, this is also a considerable amount of income.

For Moria's crazy approach, many people naturally opposed it at the beginning.

The world government only collects "sky gold" and extracts taxes. It has never been heard that Bailey is required for sailing on the sea.

These pirates naturally don't do it. You ask us to pay 100,000 Baileys. Isn't this a disguised robbery?

It has always been pirates who rob others. How come they have become the objects of robbery now?

So, at the beginning, many pirate groups united and began to attack this so-called toll gate, but in the end, they were ruthlessly suppressed by Moria.

Having come here, naturally don't want to go back and take a long way. After all, this way, the time wasted is not a little bit.

Therefore, these pirates just held their noses and started to pay the fees honestly.

At the same time, Moria's mission system also attracted the attention of many pirate groups. They were naturally very interested in this kind of money-making thing that could be passed for free.

But these pirate groups have their own ideas after all. There are many tasks that are not in the magic triangle. Once they leave Moria's sphere of influence, some pirates will inevitably have bad intentions, which will cause Moria to suffer heavy losses.

For this reason, Moria implements batch separation for the pirate groups that come to receive tasks, that is, never let the people of the same pirate group to do a task, but mix the people of multiple pirate groups together to complete it together.

At the same time, the pirate groups or other people who come to do the task must pay a certain deposit in advance, so that there will be defection, which will cause the task to fail, at least it can recover certain losses.

As for those pirates who defected, Moria will put them on the blacklist, issue bounty tasks, and send personnel to hunt them down.

In short, Moria has formulated many rules. After the Iron Blood Shock killed several defected pirate groups, there were fewer defections, and this task system began to get on the right track.

As for those civilians and businessmen, they did not react much to Moria's charges, but felt it was normal. After all, as long as you pay the management fee, you can be free from the invasion of pirates in the Magic Triangle. Once you are attacked by pirates, you can ask for help from Moria's men as soon as possible.

This is equivalent to paying protection fees, which can indeed protect your safety. Moreover, many people think that Moria's fees are very cheap, too cheap.

If you hire someone to protect you, you have to pay at least 100,000 Baileys, which is the lowest level. Sometimes even if you have money, you may not be able to hire a strong person.

Now, the protection provided by the forces of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is only charged at such a low fee, which is naturally a happy thing.

In short, in the pirates, Moria's operation, charging high fees to pirates and protecting civilians, makes people look down on Moria even more, and thinks that doing so is more solid, and Moria has completely become a running dog of the World Government.

On the contrary, among the civilians, Moria's prestige has become higher.

Of course, in addition to this, there is a common understanding in the outside world, that is, Moria is too greedy for money.
