Chapter 157 Contract and Partnership

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and everyone finally saw everything in the field clearly.

Because all the shadows swallowed had returned to their original owners, Moriah had returned to his normal size, and was now lying in the ruins, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

And Orn, he also returned to his original human form, but his body was still standing like a javelin.

"What a joke, facing such an attack and still being unscathed?"

The "genius doctor" who had been hiding in the corner carefully poked out half of his head, and when he saw the intact figure, he was so scared that he fell to the ground.

"Lord Moriah!"

Unlike the cowardly Hogback, the other two of the three monsters were still very loyal.

Seeing that Moriah was not sure whether he was alive or dead, Absalom and Perona, who had been hiding behind the castle, subconsciously rushed towards Moriah.

Perona was clearly shaking all over, but she still stood up at this time:

"Sex maniac, take Lord Moria away first, I will cover your retreat!"

As she spoke, the little girl raised her hand to summon the overwhelming translucent ghosts, and looked at Orn and said tremblingly:

"You, don't come over, I'm very powerful!"

Owen smiled at the little girl and deliberately took a step forward, scaring her so much that she couldn't help but scream.

A large number of mini ghosts seemed to be frightened by her scream, and they rushed towards Orn and exploded on them.

Boom boom boom...

The explosion lasted for more than ten seconds before it stopped.

In the smoke and dust, Orn, whose body was covered with a layer of Armament Haki and had a purple-black texture, walked out unscathed. He looked at Perona, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Do you have any other tricks? Use them and see?"

Perona was already scared to tears when she saw that Orn was unscathed.

The courage to stand up was suddenly defeated, and the little girl fell to the ground, her butt kept moving back, and she kept muttering:

"You, don't come over."

You scream, you scream until your throat is broken...

Tsk~

Owen smacked his lips and forced the strange dialogue out of his mind. In order to prevent the situation from developing in a more bizarre direction, he pointed at Moria with a fierce face and said:

"If you don't attack me again, I will attack him."

"No, don't attack Lord Moria! Negative ghost!"

A larger ghost flew towards Orn, who was completely black, and the ghost without a physical body passed directly through Orn's body.

There was no particular low mood spreading in my heart, and I didn't want to be a slug in my next life...

Very good, after verifying his inner thoughts, Orn showed a smile similar to Tom's.

As expected, the Armament Haki can prevent the negative state caused by this special superhuman system.

Like Perona's negative ghost, Sucrose's doll transformation, Empress's petrification, Ain's time reversal... As long as the hit part is covered with high-intensity Armament Haki in advance, the negative effects caused by these fruits can be resisted.

Of course, the effectiveness of the resistance also depends on the opponent's fruit development ability.

In the original work, Vergo's Armament Haki was enough to resist the effect of Law's Operation Fruit in the past, but later, as Law's development of the Operation Fruit became more and more sophisticated, Vergo would still be cut in half even if he used the Armament Haki to cover it.

"Okay, stop crying. I won't kill Moria."

Perona's crying stopped immediately. Although she was still sobbing softly, she looked at Orn doubtfully.

"It's rare for this guy to have two loyal subordinates like you..."

Orn sighed like this first, then looked at Perona and said:

"Don't worry, he and I are both Shichibukai after all. If I kill him, I can't explain to the World Government."

Perona tilted her head and thought about it. She felt that what Orn said made sense, but she thought about it again and suddenly reacted.

Orn had never intended to kill Moria from the beginning, so weren't the words he said before all lies to her?

Thinking of this, Perona's cheeks immediately swelled up like a little hamster. She stared at Orn angrily, wishing she could stare him to death.

"Although I don't intend to kill him, I can't let him go easily since he is causing me trouble like this."

Owen looked at Perona and Absalom, and suddenly changed the subject.

"You...what else do you want to do?"

Perona stood in front of Moria, her eyes full of vigilance.

"Since you two are so loyal, you must be willing to exchange a little of your blood for his life."

Owen said as he took out the moving castle and a knife from his arms.

"Ah~!"

Accompanied by Perona's scream, a stream of information immediately appeared in Orwen's mind:

[The contractable demon 'Spirit' is detected. Do you want to absorb the blood of the ability user to conclude the Spirit Contract? ]

After silently saying "yes" in his heart, the next second, Perona's blood was continuously infused into the moving castle.

[Contract, signed! 】

[Spiritual Contract: Under the influence of the Spiritual Fruit, the moving castle can split into a non-substantial spirit castle for reconnaissance (the host will gain vision of the ghost castle, but the castle cannot move while the ghost castle exists)]

Not bad!

After seeing the ability of the Spiritual Contract, Ornn nodded.

Because the Moving Castle looks like a little frog carrying the castle on its back, Orn can completely release the spirit of the castle during the period when the castle is shrinking to detect places that are unwilling or unable to go. This is equivalent to A low profile version of Brooke.

After reading the contents of the spirit contract, Aoun set his sights on Absalom again.

Although Absalom was a pervert, he was somewhat masculine at this time. In order to protect his captain, he decisively extended his hand.

[The contractable demon 'Transparent' has been detected. Should we absorb the blood of the ability user to form a transparent contract? 】

Just like signing a spiritual contract, Absalom's blood essence was also continuously instilled into the moving castle.

[The contract has been signed! 】

[Transparent Contract: Affected by the transparent fruit ability, the Moving Castle can be invisible within 30 minutes (cooling time: 24 hours) (opening the Spiritual Contract while opening the transparent contract will also make the Ghost Castle invisible)]

Hiss~ This is even better!

It can actually be linked with the spirit contract. When the two are turned on at the same time, it is a spirit and cannot be captured by sight. Even if a powerful person like Katakuri discovers his exploration, he will not be able to attack the ghost castle. If you cause harm, you can only let yourself be forced to observe!

If this ability is used to spy on women's bathhouses...

As soon as such a thought appeared in his mind, Aoun quickly snuffed it out.

You already have two beauties, Yamato and Robin, as your girlfriends, so why bother spying on those vulgar fans?

He is not a lecherous kappa like Sanji, so of course he has to use this powerful ability in a righteous way.

All in all, Aoun, who contracted these two abilities at the same time, was in a good mood, and even the unhappiness of having to temporarily give up the Shadow Fruit was forgotten.

"Very good. Seeing how loyal you are, I will no longer hold Moria responsible.

You two take him to treatment and let me know when he wakes up. "

"You...what do you mean by that?" Absalom asked bravely.

"what do you mean?"

Aoun glared at him with some dissatisfaction:

"As the winner, I want to take a rest at the loser's residence. Do I still need to ask your opinion?"

Absalom was speechless by Ornn's words, and could only watch with Perona as Moria, who was still in a coma, went to his room to rest.

After watching the two people leave, Aoun turned his head and looked at a figure in the corner with a smile:

"Where do you want to escape to?"

Hogbark, who was trying to escape, was so excited that he quickly said with a smile on his face:

"Sir, what are you talking about? As Lord Moria's doctor, of course I want to see how the Lord Moria's injuries are."

Aoun glanced at him and didn't bother to say anything more. He just waved his hand impatiently:

"It's okay to treat his injuries, but if you want to escape, don't blame me for being rude."

Huogubak was frightened by Aoun's meaningful eyes, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice:

"Ming...understand."

Looking at the other party's leaving figure, Aoun couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.

A scumbag with some abilities is suitable to be used as a tool, but it depends on Moriah's attitude after he wakes up. If he is unwilling to cooperate, then there is no need for this guy to stay in this world.

Yes, cooperation, this is Aoun's tentative mode of getting along with Moria.

It was not easy for him to attack Moria at this stage, and he didn't like Moria's character, so he didn't want to let him get on the ship. So after thinking about it, he decided to temporarily cooperate with him.

This Devil's Triangle is a good place. Not only is it large enough, but it is also covered in thick fog all year round. You don't have to worry about being discovered when you do anything here. It is suitable to be used as a base to handle some secret affairs.

If Moria is willing to cooperate, he can discuss sharing this sea area with the other party.

If he really doesn't want to, he can only wait until he has finished the dividends that the Shichibukai can bring him before taking action.

"It will take at least another three to five days before Moria wakes up. This matter should not be dealt with urgently..."

Thinking this, Aoun turned his head and looked in the direction of Laura and Brooke.

Because Moria did not absorb the shadows of these two people, their shadows are still in the bodies of the dragon horse and the wild boar bride.

It seems that because Moriah passed out and the binding force of the contract signed between him and the shadow was relaxed, the pressure of Laura and Brooke's battle was obviously reduced a lot. It was only a matter of time before they each took back their own shadows.

After watching the battle with Yamato and others for about five minutes, Lola finally found the opportunity to cut off the Boar Bride's wrist with a knife, successfully defeating the Boar Bride and regaining her own shadow.

About half an hour after that, Brooke, whose bones were broken in several places, finally defeated Ryoma, whose combat power was greatly weakened, and successfully regained his shadow with the help of a move called Sanding and Arrow Tail Slash.

Ryoma's body turned into a ball of soul fire and dissipated, leaving only the black sword and autumn water clattering to the ground.

Aoun quickly stretched out his hand to fish it out, and immediately grabbed the autumn water in his hand.

After pulling out the autumn water and looking at it carefully for a moment, Aoun sheathed the sword and threw it to Yamato.

"What are you doing for me?"

Yamato also curiously pulled out the Autumn Water and swung it vigorously, but it was a pity that anyone with a discerning eye could see that the sword was swung without any rules at all.

"You should keep the national treasure of Wano Country well. When you return to Wano Country, those samurai will definitely look at you with new eyes."

As for Zoro... at most, I can just give him a mid-level legendary as compensation in the future.

After watching Yamato put away the Autumn Water, Orn looked at Lola who was hugging and celebrating with the Squirrel Brothers and said:

"How does it feel to have the shadow return to its original body?"

"Great!" Lola responded with a smile.

"What do you think of us? Are you willing to join us?"

Orn asked again.

Lola looked at the people of the Tumbling Pirates reluctantly, and finally made up her mind.

After taking a deep breath, she shouted loudly:

"From today on, the Tumbling Pirates will be disbanded!"

As soon as these words came out, tears rolled down the eyes of Lola and the other members of the Tumbling Pirates.

Owen couldn't bear to see such a scene, so he thought for a while and said:

"Stop crying, let's have a party to celebrate your regaining your own shadow!"

The party is indeed a good way for pirates to adjust their mood.

As soon as Owen said this, the members of the Tumbling Pirates who were originally crying finally stopped crying, and followed Rea and others to shout the word "party".

Seeing that the atmosphere was in full swing, Orn simply released the mobile castle, and then looked at Lola and said:

"There are enough ingredients in the castle, but how to cook it is up to you, the chef."

Lola took a look at the magnificent castle and immediately patted her chest:

"Leave it to me, you can rest assured!"

Less than an hour later, bursts of rich food aroma floated out through the windows of the castle.

"It smells so good~"

Smelling the aroma of the food, Reya couldn't help but exclaimed, and her eyes were full of memories-since leaving the food city Pukki, they haven't smelled such a strong food aroma for a long time!

Even Robin couldn't help closing her eyes and sniffing the fragrance of the food in the air, turned her head and looked at Orn and smiled:

"It seems that we have found an excellent chef."

"Everything is ready, come and try my cooking!"

As soon as Robin finished speaking, Lola pushed open the kitchen window and shouted to Orn and others.

After she shouted, hundreds of people from the Orne Pirates and the Tumbling Pirates immediately rushed into the mobile castle.

"Wow!"

As soon as they entered the castle, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed. They saw that all kinds of food in the castle were almost piled up into a small mountain, and in the center was a five-layer super-large chocolate cake!

Rhea then grabbed a piece of leg meat and took a bite. Just after chewing it twice, two lines of tears flowed unconsciously:

"This... is too delicious!"
