Chapter 93: Behind the Scenes
When the pirates reacted, it was too late. The ship had taken on water and began to sink.
At this time, the pirates fighting each other stopped firing and looked at Moria standing on the bow.
"Damn it!"
"Don't be afraid, he's alone!"
"Attack together!"
At this point, there is no other way. If you don't want to sink in the sea, the only way out is to defeat Moria and take Moria's pirate ship.
"Go!"
Everyone desperately attacked Moria in an attempt to turn the tables.
Looking at the pirates swarming in, Moria really couldn't get interested now. When Moria was destroying the ship just now, those pirate captains or main combatants who came to obstruct Moria, Moria might still have some desire to fight, but these pirates really didn't have the desire to fight.
If I had the domineering color domineering now, it would be a must for pretending and cleaning up the miscellaneous soldiers.
"Shadow Ball"
Moria released the shadow ball that had been condensed for half a day from his hand. The shadow ball gradually enlarged, and finally, a powerful shock wave was generated, and huge waves were set off on the sea.
Looking at the explosion, Moria still sighed that the shadow ball move still has many weaknesses. The powerful ones take a long time to condense, and the ones with a short condensation time are too small. For those with strong strength, it is just a tickle. But if you want to achieve great power, it will take a long time. After all, although shadows are also everywhere, Moria has one more condensation step compared to the bear's paw shock wave. Shadows are not like air, which can be compressed at will. Moria has to use the devil fruit ability to condense the surrounding shadow energy.
But in battle, not every time like this time, Moria can condense a huge shadow ball leisurely. Moreover, the closer you are to the shadow ball, the greater the power, but the farther you are, the smaller the power.
At least, Moria saw that there were many pirates alive in the marginal areas far away from the shadow ball, floating on the sea.
"What are you still standing there for?"
"Clean up the battlefield, catch a few tongues, and force the person behind the scenes to tell you."
"Then continue sailing!"
Moria said to his men who were still in a daze.
Moria's men then realized that Moria had returned to the ship without knowing when.
"Yes!"
"The captain is so awesome!"
"Long live the captain!"
Moria ignored them. Such a record was indeed not worth mentioning. Dur had already given Moria the bounty orders for these pirates. None of them had a bounty of more than 100 million Baileys. No wonder they were so weak.
Moria, who returned to the room, was still thinking about this battle.
Originally, Moria wanted to use a few large shadow balls to quickly end the battle, but during the flight, Moria had a flash of inspiration and decided to try out the physical skills he had gained from the knight commander.
It must be said that the knight spearmanship of the knight commander seemed to be tailor-made for Moria, and was very suitable for Moria.
In more than a month, Moria's spearmanship has developed rapidly from nothing to something. The spearmanship and Moria's devil fruit ability are perfectly integrated together, and Moria has created this shadow shock wave in combination with his actual situation.
In fact, it's nothing, it just turns the real spear into a spear condensed by Moria with shadows.
Now Moria has completely digested the spearmanship, and the power is also very good. Now Moria can only penetrate one ship because he has just mastered it not long ago, and cannot penetrate several ships in a row and directly destroy the entire fleet.
And this also makes up for Moria's current shortcomings in moves. There is no need for special preparation time, and the attack is very concentrated. Although the distance is relatively close, the power is very powerful.
It seems that Moria can't use the sword to show off in the future. Compared with the sword, the gun is more suitable for Moria. Moria still chooses to improve his strength, which is more practical, and holding a heavy gun is not very ugly. The knight's charge, the cloak fluttering, is still very handsome.
As for the pirates who united this time, Moria thought there should be another force behind them, otherwise, these people should not have the courage to trouble Moria.
However, Moria's deterrence this time should be able to deter some people and make those pirates who followed the trend give up halfway.
However, this time should be regarded as a test, and the next time, it should be the real master behind the scenes.
"Hey hehe..."
Just when Moria was thinking about which force was targeting him, the force behind him also received the news that the pirate joint fleet was annihilated.
"What a waste!"
The person sitting on the chair cursed.
"Isn't this normal!"
"Owner, the other party is Shichibukai!"
"If he was killed so easily, the World Government would not invite him to be Shichibukai!"
A person walked into the room and said to him.
The sun shone on the face of the person who walked in, revealing a very young face. If Moriah was here, he would find that this person was the leader of the Hill Chamber of Commerce that he met in the Sabaody Archipelago, the brother of Hill Gilson that Moriah killed, and the future successor of the Hill Chamber of Commerce.
"You are so rude. You don't know how to respect your elders?"
"You didn't even knock before you came in!"
The man sitting on the chair said.
"Don't think that our Hill Chamber of Commerce has perished, and we are soft persimmons that can be squeezed at will."
"Owner, pay attention to your attitude!"
After saying that, the young man sat down casually, and opened a bottle of treasured red wine from the cabinet and drank it.
"It tastes really good!"
"You!"
The owner seemed angry, and his men swarmed in and surrounded the young man, but in the end he did not order to shoot, and waved his hands to let his men leave.
Although the owner was surprised about the destruction of the Hill Chamber of Commerce, he was still very happy, and obtained a lot of high-quality farms that originally belonged to the Hill Chamber of Commerce.
This owner, as the name suggests, is the king of agriculture. He owns a large number of fields, various manors, and large farms. He is a grain giant of the underground forces. The circulation of grain in the dark must pass through his hands. It can be said that he is a well-deserved underground king.
When it came to his generation, the owner of this generation was no longer satisfied with planting, but extended his tentacles to other fields. And this field is the slave industry.
In the pirate world, all food needs to be planted manually, there are no large machines, and everything needs human labor. This also leads to the fact that each generation of farm owners needs to buy a large number of slaves to serve as labor in the farm, and the cost is a considerable number every year.
In fact, since his grandfather's generation, he has been aware of this problem. As the area of the farms he controls becomes larger and larger, more and more slaves are needed. Therefore, in order to alleviate the problem of slaves, he began to organize slave ships and directly annex some small traffickers.
But it has always been a small fight and can never meet the demand. One of the biggest reasons is that without the permission of the world government, the slave trade is often suppressed, and even affects itself, and many farms have been confiscated.
And now, with Vegapunk's transformation of food crops, food production has greatly increased, food prices have begun to fall, and farm profits have begun to decline year by year. Even due to the increase in food production, fewer and fewer people buy food from here in the market, and the status of food giants has been impacted.
Therefore, it is urgent to achieve transformation and a new path must be opened, and the lucrative slave industry is the first choice.
