Chapter 82: The Battle of the Four Emperors
In this way, after about a month, Moria's reputation gradually spread. People who came to challenge Moria basically never came back. Everyone gradually recognized Moria's position in the Shichibukai and did not dare to go again. It’s easy to provoke Moria.
During this period, Moria also took action five times. These people were all very powerful pirates. Some rely on Devil Fruit abilities, while others rely on their own physical skills.
At first, Moria was very excited, because the more people like this, the stronger he is, and he can have this kind of strength in the first half of the Great Route, break through layers of defenses, and then be able to defeat Moria. Subordinate, this shows that this person has a very strong talent. If he can harness it for his own use, he will undoubtedly be a very good subordinate.
It's a pity that powerful people have their own arrogance and will not give in to others easily. Even if Moria defeated him, put him in prison, and even used some punishment, he still couldn't subdue him and make him his subordinate. But Moria has not accumulated these relatively powerful people. Whether he digests their shadows, improves his strength, or uses them as materials for making zombies, they are all rare materials.
As for the captured pirates, they were all put in prison. But as time went by, the prison on the terrifying three-masted ship was no longer enough, so Moria put handcuffs and shackles on everyone as free labor. Although these people are not very outstanding in strength, they are large in number and they are all very good labor force. And there are also some people with outstanding potential among them. After inspecting them for a period of time, Moria selected some pirates with better conduct among them to join his pirate group.
What Moria didn't expect was that during this period, among the pirates who came to challenge, there were actually pirates from the New World. Although these people could call the shots in the first half of the Grand Line, when Moria saw these people, he thought they could have a happy fight, but it turned out that most of them were the kind of pirates who had a superficial appearance and had already lost their ability. With their aggressive spirit and the fact that most of them suffered huge damage, Moria defeated them without much effort.
Even once, while inspecting the prison, his subordinates pointed at a large group of imprisoned pirates and said to Moria,
"All of these are said to be pirates from the New World."
"It's so funny that the pirates of the New World were caught directly at the second artillery line of defense."
Moria felt its aura with the color of seeing and hearing. It is true that the original strength was not weak, but it was seriously injured, so its strength was greatly reduced. Later, the bounty was found, and it was finally confirmed that all these pirates had returned from the New World.
These people are not weak in strength. Although they cannot compete with those big pirates in the new world, it should not be a problem to protect themselves!
Did something happen in the new world? Moria has been very busy these days and has not paid extra attention to the affairs of the new world.
Later, after learning about it, Moria learned that a competition for the Pirate King in the New World had begun. I don’t know who spread the word, but the title of the Four Emperors made the pirates in the New World go crazy for it. Being called the Emperor of the Sea is really a great temptation for pirates.
The Whitebeard Pirates were directly crowned the Pirate Emperor. No matter their strength or status, no one can shake this. As for the remaining three positions, the remaining pirates went crazy for them, eager to seize the remaining three positions. The Big Mom Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, the Pirate Alliance, and many well-known pirate groups have all taken action to seize this title.
"Dad, this should be a conspiracy of the world government to make the pirates in the new world kill each other!"
"Recently, our Whitebeard Pirates have been attacked by many pirates."
A pineapple head said worriedly.
"Goo la la la!"
"The world government still underestimates the age of great pirates."
"I'm afraid I'll shoot myself in the foot."
"As for those challengers, don't worry about it."
"I have a white beard!"
The burly body stood up from his seat and waved his fist forward slightly. The air shattered instantly and the calm sea suddenly became rough.
"Yes! We are the Whitebeard Pirates!"
A black man with a big belly and missing teeth laughed heartily.
"Dad, let those pirates see the power of my Whitebeard Pirates!"
"Hahaha!"
…
"The new world now is a meat grinder!"
Moria put down the latest newspaper and sighed.
"The only good thing is that we have now left the new world."
"If we still stay in the new world and get caught up in this so-called struggle among the four emperors, I'm afraid we will be shattered to pieces!"
The old swordsman took a slow sip of tea and said to Moria.
"Yes! With our current strength, we are simply not enough to participate in this competition."
"In the new world, this time, at least 30% of the people will die."
Moria sighed.
"Well, this is a conspiracy of the world government."
"The purpose is to make the pirates in the new world continue to kill each other."
The old swordsman put down his tea cup and said.
"However, I'm afraid the World Government will be disappointed, although this will be able to eliminate the pirates to the greatest extent."
"But this is like raising a poison. The strong ones become stronger and stronger. In the end, even the conquerors of the world dare not act rashly."
"At that time, the New World will completely become the territory of the Four Emperors."
Moria also drank a cup of tea happily and said,
"But who doesn't want to become one of the Four Emperors?"
"If it weren't for strength, who would want to leave the New World?"
"After all, the attraction of the Four Emperors is too great!"
"Even if I know it's a trap set by the World Government, I will try my best!"
Moria looked at the introduction of the Four Emperors in the newspaper with burning eyes and said with emotion.
"Yes!"
The old swordsman also fell into silence.
The two of them drank tea silently without speaking, but it was Moria who broke the silence first.
"Okay! Don't think about these."
"Old Jia, is the ship ready?"
Moria asked the old swordsman.
"It's ready."
"It's just an ordinary kingdom. Do you have to go there in person?"
"As far as I know, the Drum Kingdom has no resources at all, and the environment is harsh, so few pirates will go there."
"Except for the doctor, there is nothing."
The old swordsman replied.
"It's enough to have a doctor!"
"Those doctors are worth my personal visit."
Moria looked at the people training below and said,
In the past month, Moria has completely consumed the excess life energy in his body, and after continuous polishing, he has completely mastered the growth of strength and is no longer so frivolous.
And Moria's height has changed a lot. Moria has grown taller and reached 6.4 meters tall. The muscles on his body have become more symmetrical, and each muscle has terrifying power.
However, without the help of life energy, Moria's strength growth rate has suddenly slowed down a lot, which makes Moria very uncomfortable. Since he got used to such a strong life energy, and turned around to drink that kind of primary Yuan liquid, Moria's help is basically zero.
Although Moria still has the water of life, of course, that kind of thing is one drop less, now the most urgent task is to find scientists or doctors to purify the Yuan liquid.
And now, while the doctors of the Drum Kingdom have not been lost in large numbers, you can still find some doctors now. If you go too late, there will be only one old woman left.
