Pirate: My shadow can hang up

Chapter 149 Martial Arts Tournament, Unknown Rewards

I heard that Moriah was going to buy oranges for her to eat.

Perona pouted: "I don't want to eat oranges. Even if Lord Moria wants to buy oranges, I will go with him."

Moria smiled: "You are spoiled. The older you get, the more disobedient you become."

Even though he said this, he didn't mean to blame him at all.

Perona let out a small hum, seemingly very proud of herself.

Moria walked over, followed by Perona and her little follower. Suddenly the five little girls of about the same age looked at each other.

"Boss, how can I sell this little girl?" Moria stared at the little orange-haired girl next to her, who had a good background.

"79 berries per kilogram." The purple-haired woman didn't even raise her head as she picked up the oranges on the ground and threw them into the box: "It can be cheaper if you buy them..."

"Huh? Little girl!?"

The woman reacted belatedly.

Moriah's thoughts returned to reality, and he accidentally exposed his inner thoughts. He really dared to buy and sell...

"It's oranges, I bought oranges." Moria quickly defended.

The reason why Moriah's thoughts wandered away was because he saw One Piece.

The two most beautiful characters of the Straw Hat Pirates, Navigator Nami, are still a little girl of eight or nine years old. Of course, it is impossible to be like the original work, either on the way to receiving benefits or on the road to receiving benefits.

The purple-haired woman next to her is her adoptive mother Bellemere, and the other slightly older girl is her adopted sister Nokigao.

When Bellemere heard someone asking about the price of oranges, she thought she would sell as little as she could, otherwise her three mothers would starve again and waste the basket of oranges.

When Bellemeier raised his head, his heart skipped a beat.

The people standing in front of me at this moment are not civilians. From the appearance, it can be said that they are definitely not kind. The only explanation is that they are a group of pirates.

"Pirates?" Bellemere looked at Moria, seeming to be recalling past memories in his mind.

She left the navy seven or eight years ago. She knew some news about the sea before, but after that, how could she spend money to buy newspapers when she couldn't even eat.

"You, you, you..."

Bellemare's eyes widened. He didn't expect that such a famous person would visit this fringe town.

She remembered that the other party's reward was worth hundreds of millions 11 years ago, but she couldn't remember the specific name.

Thinking about it, she probably wouldn't be able to earn that much from selling oranges for the price of one head in her lifetime. It had to be said that she was greedy.

"What are you going to do? Even if you want to rob something, do you think we three are rich?" Bellemere protected Nami and Nocchi in his arms, not daring to blink for fear of the next moment. Moriah could eat the three of them alive.

The two sisters had different reactions. Nokigao reacted a little dull and taciturn and a little scared, while Nami's eyes rolled around. It looked like she was gifted and would become a great person in the future.

Moria did not answer immediately or say hello. He casually picked up an orange, peeled it and put it into his mouth. His face suddenly lost any expression.

At this moment, he thought of Heibulin Big Plum.

sweet!
While eating the orange, Moriah said to Horsman: "It tastes very orange. Come on, try it. I can't enjoy it alone."

This is a high emotional intelligence statement.

With a look of disgust on his face, Horsman let out a sigh: "Don't try to lie to me anymore. If it's delicious, eat more!"

Hey!This guy is so smart that he doesn't fall for the trap.

Seeing that the treacherous plot was discovered, Moriah's face did not turn red and his heart did not beat. He stopped acting directly. While talking, the orange fell out of his mouth; "Let me ask for directions. Do you know where Seymour Zhiji Village, also known as Frost Moon Village, is?" ?”

It can be said that even dogs won’t eat these oranges.

No wonder Bellemere was still penniless after selling oranges for so long. Someone still wanted these oranges for free.

"Seymour. Frosty Moon Village?" Bellemel fell into deep thought. After a long time, he shook his head: "I've never heard of this name..."

From the corner of his eye, Moriah saw little Nami hesitate to speak, and couldn't help but ask: "What? Do you know?"

"I…"

Just when Nami was about to say something, a scolding voice sounded, it was Bellemere.

"Nami, what do you know? Don't talk nonsense." Bellmere held Nami's head down to prevent her from talking.

It's very dangerous to talk to pirates. If you can't say a word well, you may lose your head and body, especially if you don't know who the child is.

Moria glared at Bellemel: "Am I asking you now? I want you to talk more!"

Suddenly, Bellemeier didn't dare to say anything, and just held the two children in his arms.

"I know where the place you are looking for is, but I have a condition..."

After a moment of silence, Nami finally spoke.

"What conditions, tell me."

Moria immediately became interested. Nami knew how to bargain at a young age. No wonder she became a good bargainer when she grew up.

"I want..." Nami looked at the basket in front of her: "I want you to buy all these oranges."

I originally thought that the other party would be able to speak loudly, but in the end, she was still too young and had not learned how shameless Nami was.

"No problem." Moria didn't hesitate for too long: "I bought the oranges even if they are still on the tree. Little boss, let's calculate how much they cost?"

Nami blinked her eyes and asked tentatively: "Ten thousand Beli?"

Ten thousand beli?
I can’t say it’s not expensive, I can only say it’s very cheap.

"As for Berry, I don't have it with me right now. Can I have gold and silver coins?" Moria handed over some gold and silver coins, the share of which was far more than [-] Berry.

Bellemare hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Just give us Berry. Even if you give us this thing, we won't be able to spend it, and we don't know whether it is true or not..."

In the end, after piecing together everything, he managed to collect [-] berries and stuff them into Nami's hands.

Before Nami could warm her hands, Bellemere snatched her away, and she couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

After receiving the money and verifying the authenticity, Nami took out a map from nowhere: "I drew this based on some sailors who went to sea. The village you mentioned happens to be right here."

Moria took the map and looked at it. There were Silobu Village, Goa Kingdom, Windmill Village, Shuangyue Village, and especially there were little people on Cocoyasi Village. It looked very intuitive and clear.

Lafitte also walked over quietly, looked at the map, and suddenly had a look of astonishment on his face. An expert could see the doorway, but he could tell the level of the map maker just by looking at it.

"Kid, I just heard you say there will be a storm soon. How did you judge it?" Lafitte still had the same expression, but he tried to be as kind as possible.

Nami thought for a while and said: "According to the sudden change in the wind direction and the insects crawling on the ground..."

Lafitte nodded, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly looked at Nami's clothes and her thin figure, and said:

"Let me introduce myself. I am the navigator of the Moonlight Pirates. Lafitte. You are very talented as a navigator. How about it? Are you interested in learning some navigation knowledge from me?"

Everyone else was quite surprised by Lafitte's words, and so was Moria.

According to Lafitte's character, it is impossible to explain his cherishing of talents.

The reason why he wanted to teach Nami sailing knowledge was because he wanted to maximize his profits.

Only by making Moria the Pirate King or even the King of the World can he follow the rising tide. However, as Nuo is a powerful force, it is obvious that he alone as a navigator is not enough. Even if he is exhausted, he will not be able to take care of it.

"If you agree to work for the Moonlight Pirates in the future, I will not only teach you about weather and meteorology for free, but I will also give you a monthly subsidy of 20 beli. In addition, food and accommodation will be included. In addition to completing the courses assigned by me every day, I will Except for that, the rest is free time.”

After hearing Feite's words, Bellemeier took a breath of cold air. This month's subsidy was more than the dowry she had saved for her two daughters for seven or eight years. You must know that she only had Less than [-].

"We appreciate your kindness, but my daughter is still young, and I don't want her to go too far!"

Bellemel said and winked at Nami, fearing that she would be obsessed with money, and pinched her butt. She thought she was doing it very secretly, but in the end, everyone saw it.

She used to be in the navy, and she had seen a lot of the evil things pirates had done. In her opinion, if Nami went to follow the pirates, she would probably be in bad luck.

"I don't want to go..." Nami actually hates pirates, even though she hasn't experienced Aaron's incident yet.

When the residents of Housha Town found out that this group of pirates not only did not rob homes, but also bought oranges, they suddenly felt like they needed to grow their brains.

In Housha Town, in an inconspicuous dilapidated house, the mayor was frightened and at a loss when he heard the report from the town police.

"Is everything you said true? Is that big shot coming to our town?"

The mayor seems to be a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s. Of course, this is not his home. He lives in the most luxurious and luxurious building in the town. However, because he is often visited by villains and bandits, he has grown older. memory.

As soon as pirates came, he would hide in a relatively shabby-looking house to avoid being raided by pirates. Of course, he also hid valuables in advance.

"That's right, sir. I saw it with my own eyes. Other than that, no one else is driving such a big ship."

In the room, a middle-aged man dressed as a policeman spoke.

"Go and ask someone not to inform Lieutenant Colonel Duck. Even if he comes, it will probably be in vain. After all, he and the navy are on the same team and both belong to the World Government!"

"."

Housha Town Main Street.

"Since Master Shichibukai invites you, it is your honor and it saves you from embarrassing the navy by buying oranges here!"

After a burst of neat footsteps, a group of marines appeared in everyone's sight, and the sound naturally came from them.

Following the sound, the speaker was walking in front of the crowd, wearing a navy uniform and a peaked cap.

He doesn't seem to be young anymore, and it's probably time to retire.Bellemere's face suddenly darkened when he saw the person coming, and he stared at him with an unkind expression.

But the lieutenant colonel had a smile on his face: "You don't have to be so hateful. If you don't like it, then just sell oranges here."

As soon as the words fell here, a group of marines burst into laughter.

Bellemare used to be in the navy, so it seemed like he was an old acquaintance.

"Shichibukai-sama, and all of you, it's an honor to be able to visit the jurisdiction I manage."

Arriving in front of Moriah and others, Lieutenant Colonel Duck suddenly changed his face and looked one of those who wanted to please.

Let alone Moria, even if he is a sea overlord who can have a place in the new world, even if he is a famous pirate in the East China Sea, such as the rising star Creek, Baiji Crow, Qianliang Daohua Bucky, he Not even a small lieutenant colonel dared to provoke him.

Not only that, there are also some young pirates who secretly communicate with him, and receive large tribute payments every year.

Moriah turned his head and looked, and nodded politely. When he received Moriah's response, Lieutenant Colonel Duck was even more flattered, and his desire to please suddenly became stronger.

"Despicable villain!" Bellmer lowered his head and cursed in a low voice.

Although he spoke in a low voice, Lieutenant Colonel Duck seemed to hear him. He only heard him say: "I might as well tell you that this gentleman is a legal pirate granted status by the World Government. Even if he robs, it is allowed by the government. You Think carefully and know the consequences of rejection.”

Lieutenant Colonel Duck was not afraid of others, but he was afraid that an angry Moria would cause a major accident in his jurisdiction and affect his promotion.

Moria gave him a big thumbs up in her heart, thinking that this guy is very smart.

"Legal pirate?" Bellemere had never even heard of the name of the Shichibukai. Although he didn't know it, he was shocked.

Is there still a king's law?Is there still a law?

"Tell me, what is your dream?" Lafitte asked, staring at Nami.

Nami didn't think much about it: "I want to draw a map of the world."

“A great dream, but also very challenging!”

Lafitte's eyes were fixed on Bellemere: "Your child is a good seedling, but if he doesn't have good teaching and experience, he will be with you selling oranges every day, and then he will become an orange seller, and finally he will become a better-looking child." The village girl”

"How can I have time to do all this while doing laundry, cooking, and raising children? And if I have never seen the sea, how can I make excellent nautical charts?"

Bellemeier stopped talking now. If she makes a decision now, then when Nami grows up, the life she wants will not be what she wants. When she thinks about it, she will naturally feel a little uncomfortable.

Moriah twisted his mouth, a little unhappy.

As a senior Haimi, although he is not lewd, but thinking about the important role that has accompanied him for many years, that's it
It's really a waste of natural resources.

If it continues, I don’t know if Nami will go to sea as a navigator because of him.

"Why are you talking to them so much?" Moria walked to Nami and Nokigao, squatted down, and raised their chins: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, they are really two beauties. I guess they can be sold to slave traders. Get a good price..."

Then he turned to Bellemere with a strange smile: "Young mother, you don't want to see your beloved daughter being sold as a slave, do you?"

Although the tone of Moria's words seemed to be very flat and a bit joking, but it was not the case in Bellemeier's ears.

Before Nokkigao understood what he meant, Nami was already hiding behind Bellemere.

"Despicable, shameless."

Bellmere glared.

"Karibu, do it!" Moria ignored Bellemere and directly called the trafficker to do it.

"Okay, sir, cough hey hey hey hey."

After hearing Moria's instructions, Caribu approached the mother and daughter directly.

Nami and Nokigao were so frightened that they backed away, while Bellemeier had a solemn look on his face.

"Crack Kacha!"

"Don't come here, if you come any closer I will shoot!"

Bellemere suddenly took out a flintlock gun from under the frame, put it directly against Caribu's heart and warned.

"You actually hid a gun. This is a serious crime. Just wait and go to jail!" Seeing the other party actually taking out a flintlock gun for the navy, Lieutenant Colonel Duck suddenly sneered. At the same time, he was secretly worried that if he fired, seven people would be killed. Wu Hai's men were killed, so when the other party retaliates, everyone in this sea area will probably suffer.

She originally thought that Caribu would step back, but not only did she not move at all, but she also had a lewd smile on her face. The people around her also burst into laughter, seeming to be laughing at her ignorance.

"Don't come over here, I'm not kidding you!" Feeling the force from the flintlock gun, Bellemare's expression suddenly changed. In fact, he just wanted the other party to retreat in spite of the difficulties, and did not intend to shoot. Intend.

"Hey, hey, hey, shoot, shoot here, don't miss." Caribu pointed out where his heart was, with a face full of laughter.

"You..." Bellemere was immediately put off, but when he saw Kalibu leaning towards him nonchalantly, he pulled the trigger directly in desperation.

"boom!"

The muzzle of the gun danced with tongues of fire, a wisp of smoke floated up, and then the bullet shot directly into Caribu's heart.

As soon as the bullet came into contact with Caribu, the latter's body instantly became elemental. The swamp mud enveloped the bullet and then slowly swallowed it up.

Caribu smiled, his tongue moving back and forth as if it came alive, and the hand hidden in his sleeve reached for Bellemere's neck.

"how come…?"

Bellemere was shocked. Although he had heard of such a thing as a Devil Fruit, he had never seen it with his own eyes.

Bell, who stayed in place for a moment, was directly pinched by Caribu's neck, slowly lifted into the air, and his hand reached into his stomach and took out a shovel.

When Nami and Nokigao saw Bellemere being arrested, they ignored their fear and ran over to push Caribu's thigh.

"Whoa!"

Caribu's lower body turned into a puddle of mud, trapping the two of them on the ground. He let out a unique laugh: "Hey hey hey hey! Go to hell!"

As he spoke, the sharp shovel in Caribu's hand had already been inserted into Bellemere's abdomen. Although it would not penetrate the person all at once, the feeling would make people more painful.

"No!" Nami shouted: "I promise to go with you, let go of Bellemere!"

"Stop, Caribu!" At the same moment, Moria also stopped him.

This was not his original intention. Besides, it would be unjustifiable if the mother-in-laws of Haimi were killed.

At the same time, I heard Nami's words, that was just right, and the goal was achieved.

The moment Caribu heard Moria's order, he put Bellemere on the ground and rubbed his hands, as if he was overly speculating on Moria's intentions.

"Ahem!" Bellemeier coughed twice and turned a little pale.

"Belmere!" Nami and Nokigao ran over and supported her on the left and right.

Moria stepped forward, but before he could speak, Bellemere took a breath and said, "Give me some time, I will go back to pack my things, and take Nami with me..."

In the end, Bellemere succumbed to Moria's power.

"I'll give you a week." Moria said and threw her a fragment of life paper, but it was not her own.

Lieutenant Colonel Duck still has a look of shock on his face. He doesn't know what happened just now. His body turned directly into mud. He can't be killed even with a gun. Is this still a human being?It feels like a monster in human skin.

"Blu blu blu—"

While he was still dazed, it was the phone bug in his arms that brought him back to reality.

Lieutenant Colonel Duck took out the phone bug. At this time, it was an ordinary navy contact phone bug.

The other people's eyes immediately focused.

"Excuse me, I'm going to take a call." Lieutenant Colonel Duck looked embarrassed.

No one in the Moonlight Pirates replied, and the atmosphere suddenly became even more awkward.

Lieutenant Colonel Duck is not a fool. How could he not know this?

He answered the phone obediently: "Moses, Moses..."

"This is the No. 15 branch of the East China Sea. The headquarters has received news that the Red-haired Pirates have appeared in the waters under your jurisdiction. Please go to the designated location immediately to confirm the information. In addition, do not have contact with the Red-haired Pirates..."

Lieutenant Colonel Duck nodded, indicating that he understood. From the looks of it, the other party should be either an acquaintance or a stranger.

After the other party finished speaking, there was no reply for a long time. After a long time, he said again: "There is news that the Moonlight Pirates also appeared in the East China Sea, but no trace of them was found on the main routes. The credibility should not be high. You should pay more attention then."

After hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Duck was sweating profusely, thinking that these people were standing next to me...

After hanging up the phone, Lieutenant Colonel Duck quickly stated that he would never expose the whereabouts of the Moonlight Pirates.

Moria was noncommittal. Even if the navy knew about it, it wouldn't matter. As for the red-haired pirates, he had no intention of paying attention. He thought that at this time, the red-haired pirates would go to Windmill Village to rest for a while, thereby getting acquainted with the young Luffy.

Seeing that Moria's interest was waning, Lieutenant Colonel Duck became unpredictable and asked tentatively:
"The red-haired pirates appeared near here, probably to participate in the martial arts competition held by the Goa Kingdom and several other kingdoms. The scale was unprecedentedly large. Famous strong men from the East China Sea, and even strong men from the Grand Route participated in this event. The rewards for the competition are rare and rare things, and it is said that the Creator even participated..."

"Martial Arts Tournament? Descendants of the Creator? Celestial Dragons?"

Moria frowned and asked, "What are the prizes?"

Lieutenant Colonel Duck shook his head, but suddenly thought of something, and quickly ordered one of his sailors: "Go and get the money-packing poster on the ship and show it to Lord Shichibukai..."

The navy responded quickly, and soon the poster was taken over.

The largest pattern on it is a fist-sized round object, pink, with rings of four colors in the middle.
