Chapter 158 Ambition

"Well~ It's like being in heaven."

Reluctantly putting the last bite of chocolate cake into his mouth, Rhea caressed his swollen belly and showed a kind smile.

Not only Rhea, but the rest of the Orn Pirates also looked extremely satisfied after tasting Laura's chocolate cake.

"It's a really delicious cake. It's no exaggeration to say it's the most delicious cake I've ever eaten in my life."

Yamato gently licked the corner of his mouth, also looking like he was still unfinished.

Perhaps it was because he was hiding on Onigashima when he was a child and had no chance to come into contact with sweets. Aoun discovered a long time ago that Yamato also had a strange desire for sweets, but it was far less morbid than his aunt. degree.

"This is not even my full strength!"

Laura stood in front of everyone with her hands folded across her chest, and said with a Versailles smile:

"Since I left Totland, I have been busy venturing out to sea. I haven't cooked properly for a long time. I feel a little rusty when I cook today."

"Amazing!"

Rhea looked at Laura with eyes full of little stars, and the face that was not really beautiful became gentle and approachable in her eyes:

"I will be entrusting you with my happiness for the rest of my life!"

"Me too!"

Yamato raised his hand in agreement.

Aoun looked at this scene with a smile, and said with some fun:

"After this meal, you may not be able to leave the Orn Pirates even if you want to."

Laura glanced at her former crew members and said under the encouraging gazes of these people:

"Don't worry, now that I've made a decision, I won't go back on it easily!"

…………

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the members of the Orn Pirates had stayed in the Devil's Triangle for more than three days.

In the past three days, the pirates whose shadows were robbed in the past have basically left. Even Brooke raised the sails again amidst the melodious violin sound of "Binx's Wine", and the whole The only ones left on the terrifying three-masted ship were the Orn Pirates and the Moria Pirates.

At noon on the fourth day, Ornn, who had just completed his daily blacksmithing training, had just walked out of the main control room of the Moving Castle when Robin walked up holding a towel.

She reached out her hand and gently helped Aoun wipe away the fine sweat on her body, and said softly:

"The little girl named Perona came here just now and said that Moria has woken up."

"oh?"

Aoun, who had closed his eyes to enjoy Robin's service, opened his eyes, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face:

"That guy finally woke up. I'm tired of staying in this hellish place."

Although the Devil's Triangle occupies an extremely large area and is very suitable for use as a secret base, the environment is gloomy and there is no sunlight all day long. It may feel novel when you first arrive, but it will inevitably make people feel depressed after staying there for a long time.

Aoun is not the type who likes gloomy places. He felt a little uncomfortable without seeing the sun for a few days. At this time, he couldn't wait to leave here and go out to enjoy the sunshine.

After waiting for Robin to dry himself, Aoun grabbed the clothes lying aside and put them on. Then he turned around and held Robin's hand very naturally:

"Let's go and see what attitude that damn fat man will have."

"No, why don't you take Yamato with you?" Robin asked a little unnaturally.

Although he has become a match for the Yamato sisters, Robin is still unwilling to show too closeness to Aoun in front of Yamato.

Aoun knew without thinking that if he said he wanted to take Yamato with him, Robin would definitely choose to break away from his hand immediately.

"I really don't know what you are minding."

Aoun shook his head helplessly:

"I won't take her with me. She's not interested in these things in the first place, so just let her stay in the castle to practice by herself."

A moment later, Ornn and Robin walked into Moria's castle hand in hand.

In the castle, Moriah, covered in bandages, was lying on the sofa at the end of the hall, grinning.

Noticing Aoun's arrival, the guy immediately stopped wailing and looked directly at Aoun with his eyes.

"What? Still not convinced?"

Ornn gestured to reach out to touch Mjolnir behind his back, which frightened the expressions of Perona and Absalom.

"Huh, if you have something to say, just say it."

Surprisingly, not only was Moria not afraid, but she stretched out her belly:

"If you wanted to kill me, I wouldn't be alive now, would I?"

"Did Perona and the others tell you this?"

Seeing that Moria didn't show any timidity, Aoun didn't bother to pretend anymore. Instead, he smiled and raised his chin at Absalom:

"Hey, the lion over there saw a guest coming, didn't he even know that he had brought two chairs over?"

Absalom gritted his teeth, but considering Ornn's strength, he reluctantly ran to move two chairs over.

"That's pretty much it."

After sitting down with Robin, he waved his hands nonchalantly and said to the two of them:

"Go down, it's none of your business for now."

"Hey!" Perona stamped her feet and her cheeks began to bulge again.

But before she could lose her temper, Moria reached out to stop her:

"Perona, you and Abu go down first."

"Oh~"

After watching the two of them reluctantly leave the backyard, Moria looked back and couldn't help but let out a cold snort:

"You are the first one to act so bossy on my territory..."

Aoun didn't look at Moria's face. He just looked at the decoration of the castle and said absently:

"It would be too unfair if the winner doesn't even have such a privilege."

"you……"

Moria looked at Ornn fiercely, gritted his teeth and said:

"Don't force me to fight you to the death!"

"A fight to the death? How to break a fight to the death? Call the Warring States Period or the Five Old Stars and say that I don't follow the rules and attack your colleagues without permission, and beat you until you can't get out of bed for three days?"

Speaking of this, Aoun became more and more wanton. He crossed his legs, leaned on the back of the chair, looked down at Moria and said:

"Let me be clear on one thing. If I don't make some things public, you will already owe me a favor."

After saying these words, Moria's face turned red and white, but she couldn't refute.

Just as Aoun said, Aoun did not reveal to the outside world that he defeated Moria, but he actually helped Moria.

Even if Moria takes the initiative to reveal this matter, it will actually be difficult to cause any actual harm to Orn. ​​At most, it will only make the Navy and the World Government suspicious of him.

On Moria's side, once the news spreads that he was crushed by Orn, who is also a Shichibukai, even if the World Government does not kick him out of the Shichibukai for reasons such as embarrassment, there will probably be a lot of people. The thief tried to emulate Ornn and come to trouble him.

After thinking about this clearly, the momentum that Moria had finally managed to maintain quickly evaporated:

"Tell me what you want."

Aoun looked at his appearance and couldn't help but shook his head in his heart.

Here again the difference between Moria and Lao Shajian is revealed.

After Lao Sha was defeated by Aoun, he remained unmoved no matter what Aoun said to him. He only thought about revenge.

Looking back at Moria, Aoun just threatened him casually and immediately showed such a resigned attitude, which shows that his heart of being a strong man is indeed dead.

At this point, Aoun's last desire to win over Moria was completely extinguished.

However, this was good, since Moria had put on such a posture of getting everything he wanted, he could just save some words.

"What I want is simple."

Aoun tapped the floor under his feet with his toes:

"It's nothing more than this territory."

"you……"

Hearing that Aoun was actually planning on his beloved ship, Moria couldn't help but stare.

Aoun didn't give him a chance to talk nonsense and interrupted directly:

"Don't worry, I'm not telling you to get out right now. This ship is still your Moria's ship. I just want to ask you for the right to live in this terrifying three-masted sailboat.

In the future, if I want someone to live here or do something with you, you can't refuse, and you can't hurt my people... Do you understand? "

After hearing Aoun's words, Moria's expression became uncertain again.

After thinking for a long time, he seemed to have finally figured something out, and suddenly laughed softly:

"Hehehehe, are you looking at the concealment of my territory? What kind of shady things do you want to do here, kid?

What secrets does your glorious King Shichibukai have that cannot be known to the world, or to the world government? "

"There is no comment on this kind of thing."

In the realization stage, Aoun did not have any underground forces that could not be known by the world government, but he was too lazy to explain these to Moria. The other party just followed his wishes by thinking about it like this:

"You just need to tell me whether you agree or not."

Moria looked at Aoun and said with a despicable expression:

"Hey, aren't you afraid that after I secretly master your ulterior secrets, I will reveal them all to the World Government?"

"It doesn't take much effort for me to kill you. Besides..."

Having said this, Aoun raised his head and glanced at Moria:

"After all, he was a hero of the Western Sea back then. He once had the opportunity to compete for hegemony in the new world. If he really fell to that sad level, then there would be nothing to say."

"The heroes of the West Sea back then..."

These words obviously touched Moriah a little. There was a look of reminiscence in his eyes, and he unconsciously reached out to touch his chest - there was a scar there, and it still hurts.

However, that’s where it ends.

The plan that had been planned for more than ten years was easily destroyed by a newcomer like Ornn. Such a blow made him realize the sad reality - he had been abandoned by destiny!

In the past, he might have had the possibility to conquer the sea, but now... he no longer has the ability to continue competing in this era of great pirates.

After giving up his fantasy, he experienced a huge change in his mentality. This was probably a mentality where he suddenly realized, "Oh, it turns out that I am already an old guy who deserves to explode gold coins."

At this moment, Aoun clearly felt that something ethereal had completely dissipated from Moria's body...

He stared blankly at the ceiling above Moriah's head, and for a moment he doubted whether what he just saw was his illusion.

"Tell me about it, goat kid."

Finally, Moria's voice brought Ornn back to reality.

Oen came back to his senses and found that Moria was looking at him with a very sad look:

"Tell me about your ambition... Let me see if your ambition is greater than mine back then."

"Ambition?"

Oen looked at Moria who asked sincerely, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Robin who had been leaning on the armrest and staring at him intently, and couldn't help but smile at that gentle face:

"What? Do you want to hear it too?"

"Come to think of it, I seem to have never heard of your true ambition." Robin said softly.

"Really? Then tell me."

Oen sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and after a long silence, he said:

"I think this era is simply... rotten!"

Just this first sentence unconsciously attracted the attention of Moria and Robin.

Not telling the magnificent pirate era passionately, nor mentioning the slogan of becoming the Pirate King, but saying that this era is rotten?

"Pirates are fighting endlessly, the World Government is greedy, and although there are a small number of people in the Navy who are just, most of them are just lackeys of the World Government.

Living in such an era, there is no sense of security at all. Civilians have to worry about being exploited by the Kingdom and robbed by pirates. Pirates have to worry about being bullied by their peers and being encircled by the Navy. The Navy has to worry about being controlled by the World Government... like a chain.

Everyone is in danger, everyone is confused, and only the idiot with a ridiculous hood sitting on the Red Earth Continent can live recklessly and define people as rebels or slaves at will.

I hate everyone in this chain equally, I hate the cowardice of civilians, the brutality of pirates, and the compromise of the Navy. As for Not to mention those bastards.

But I'm not that noble. I won't think of sacrificing myself to change the world or something. That's too tiring. I also sincerely feel that some people are not worth my help.

So... I just want to get out of it and be the freest person.

I want no one to decide my life or death. I want to do whatever I want. No one can stop me no matter what I do.

Whether it's the navy, pirates, the world government, or anyone else, I want anyone who dares to attack me and the people I want to protect to die without a burial place. It's that simple. "

Orn finished his words quickly, but Robin and Moria, who had been listening to all this silently, were speechless for a long time.

How to describe Orn's so-called ambition?

Compared with controlling the world or becoming the Pirate King, it seems to be more than a little bit lower, but on second thought, isn't this the most difficult thing to achieve in the world?
