Chapter 174: The Temptation of Pluto's Design Drawings
For a long time, the World Government has been accustomed to the high-handed attitude, and when dealing with Moria, every time it is not to take advantage of, want to get something for nothing.
After all, Moria's business talent is really terrible. Whether it is building a horror park or establishing the Bat Chamber of Commerce, to the current Devil's Gate, all of them are making a lot of money, so naturally, the World Government also wants to get involved.
The Five Elders agreed without thinking, and this has basically become a habit.
However, Moria bowed to the World Government at the beginning because he had no choice. Whether it was his own strength or the power of his subordinates, he had no ability to resist.
But now, Moria's own strength has entered the level of quasi-admiral. In the world of pirates, he can be called a real strong man. At the same time, the pirate group is also expanding, and there is no longer only one old swordsman to support the scene.
Naturally, there is no need to be as humble as before.
Although Moriah is still incomparable to the World Government, Moriah is no longer something that can be manipulated casually. If the World Government wants to take action, it will have to pay a heavy price.
Moreover, Moriah is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, not an ordinary pirate. Based on this alone, the World Government cannot take action against Moriah at will.
Hearing the news of Moriah's refusal, and even the threat revealed in his tone, the Five Elders did not feel angry at all, but smiled.
"If Moriah agrees without hesitation, then, no matter what, no matter what the price, Moriah must be eliminated!"
"After all, Moriah's transformation is really too great!"
Yes! During this period of time, Moriah's changes can be said to be all-round, especially Moriah's prestige among the people.
Capturing pirates, protecting civilians and merchant ships, not allowing subordinates to attack civilians, working hard to develop business, collecting a large number of orphans, and opening orphanages...
This series of practices has continuously whitewashed Moria, and many pirates have followed Moria's approach. However, among the people, Moria has already been called a "good man".
If Moria is really a good man, then the Five Elders will naturally not pursue anything, but his identity is a pirate.
For a pirate, the Five Elders are not afraid of his rampantness or destruction. What they are most afraid of is that like Moria, people can't catch any handle at all, and they have been busy developing, and even people are about to forget Moria's identity as a pirate.
It is precisely because of this that the Five Elders have been suppressing Moria before.
It's not that Moria did a bad job, but because Moria was too obedient and completely changed. This is a bit too normal.
After all, which pirate is like you, Moria, where did the rebelliousness in you go?
Before, he dared to fight Kaido, but now, he is almost becoming a "good man" in people's mouths!
If you say there is no motive or a shocking conspiracy, the Five Elders will never believe it.
So, this is another test.
Moria's strength has reached the level of quasi-admiral. In this case, you can accept such an unreasonable request. No matter what the purpose is, it must be a big deal.
The strong are all arrogant. It is absolutely abnormal for you, Moria, to be so humble.
Once you dare to agree, then this is your death warrant.
Pirates will never be good people for no reason, especially pirates like Moria who have done many evil things. They must not let down their guard before they have a clear purpose.
If Moria knew what the Five Elders were thinking, he would definitely want to cry without tears.
"Is it wrong to be too honest?"
"If I had known this, I would have been as crazy as I could be!"
Unfortunately, Moria didn't know this. At this time, Moria was thinking about how to use Tom's incident.
Spandam, Moria has seized an opportunity to plant the Shadow Technique on him. Although it seems no different from before, Moria has already influenced him subtly.
The biggest difference is that Spandam has started to exercise, spending two hours every day on physical exercise.
After thinking about it, Moria finally decided that if he wanted to play, he would play a big one, big enough to shock the whole world.
And the key is the design drawings of the ancient weapon Pluto.
It can be imagined that once the news is leaked, the whole world will go crazy, countless pirates and ambitious people will flock to it, and the whole sea will fall into a crazy state.
At the same time, according to Moria's observation, although on the surface, the World Government only sent Spandam to investigate the Pluto design drawings, the real situation is definitely not that simple. It is related to ancient weapons, and the World Government cannot be too cautious.
This is indeed the case. During this period, according to Moria's observation, the shadow clones roamed around the Seven Water Capitals and found two quasi-generals. Obviously, this was the hidden hand arranged by the World Government.
Although Moria did not believe that he could rule the world with an ancient weapon, powerful weapons were indispensable. Moria did not want to miss such a good thing.
Therefore, Moria must get the design drawings of Pluto.
However, now everyone in Tom's studio is being secretly targeted by the World Government. Even if Moriah has the ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, it is impossible for him to get the design drawings of Pluto under the eyes of two quasi-generals. Do you really think that the other party's observation Haki is just a decoration?
Not to mention, it's still early in the plot! Tom is not dead, and Franky has not become a cyborg. At this time, Moriah doesn't know where the design drawings of Pluto are?
But it doesn't matter. Anyway, Moriah is not ready now, and it's just right to use this time to make preliminary preparations.
According to Moriah's initial idea, get the design drawings first, and then expose the matter of Pluto. Even if possible, Moriah wants to spread this design drawing. Once this strategic weapon is controlled by pirates, the situation in the entire pirate world will change drastically in an instant.
Of course, Moriah doesn't believe that the World Government will fall, but it will definitely not be easy. At least, it can test some of the hidden cards of the World Government. At the same time, the World Government will pay less attention to Moria himself, and the pressure will be much less.
In this way, Moria can develop with confidence and continue to strengthen himself.
It can be said that the more chaotic the pirate world is, the more powerful Moria will be.
However, the play must be done in full. If it is about explosive things like ancient weapons, it will explode itself if it is suddenly thrown out.
If everyone has ancient weapons in their hands, I am afraid that the World Government will not even sleep peacefully!
Moriah thinks it is interesting to imagine that scene.
Of course, this is just a fantasy. If everyone can really have one, then this ancient weapon is too cheap!
In fact, there are only a few forces that are truly capable of making it. After all, even if they get the design drawings and are not afraid of being taken away by outsiders, the time, energy and various resources spent in the middle of building it are absolutely astronomical.
Ordinary forces can never do this.
