Pirate: My shadow can hang up

Year 1512 of the Haiyuan calendar, fourteen years after the Age of Discovery.

It's daybreak now, and the hard-working people have already had breakfast and are getting busy.

East China Sea, Windmill Village.

The newspaper-selling seagull was already standing on a fence, as if waiting for something.

Not long after, a little girl with a pair of white devil horns on her head and her hair tied into a ponytail ran over.

Seeing the little girl approaching, the seagull took out a newspaper from the bag hanging on its body.

The girl took out some finely chopped nut-like things from her pocket, along with some money: "Here, eat it!"

Seagull was not polite either, he was obviously an old acquaintance.

After eating a few mouthfuls, the seagull screamed a few times, then fluttered its wings and flew into the sky.

The little girl was holding a newspaper in her hand. Although she could not read all the words, she could see the pictures in the newspaper.

"Squeak!"

There was no one in the tavern in the early morning. At this moment, the proprietress of the tavern was arranging the things on the counter and wiping the tabletop clean and shiny.

"Mom, here is today's newspaper." The girl put the newspaper on the table, and Kazuo climbed onto the seat in front of the counter: "I want to go to the amusement park in the newspaper, but such a luxurious amusement park should be very It’s expensive!”

"Of course, this kind of amusement park is a place where only the children of wealthy families and nobles can go..." The proprietress said as she took the newspaper, scanned the title first, and then she froze in place. land.

After a long time, a look of relief flashed in his eyes.

She touched the purple hair on her daughter's head and said, "I will take you there when I have time..."

"But... doesn't it mean... only nobles and rich people can go?" the girl asked with some confusion.

"Because you are special, they won't charge you when the time comes."

The landlady explained carefully, and suddenly thought of something: "Don't think so much, come and eat your leftovers first."

"I'm full. I want to go out and play pirate games with Luffy-san!"

“You’re not allowed to go anywhere without eating!”

"All right…"

……

Somewhere in the New World, several turtles were pulling a huge warship nearly 10,000 meters in length on the sea at low speed.

This is the golden ship that the Moonlight Pirates spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources to build. It is made of precious wood and is plated with gold on the outside.

It's not that I don't want to make it out of pure gold, it's just that it won't float on the sea at all.

The city where the ship is located was named Twilight City by Moriah. He originally intended to take the name Moonlight City, but it didn't sound domineering enough. Twilight refers to the last ray of sunlight, and after twilight is when the moonlight shines, hence the name.

At this moment, the port inside the giant ship is almost full. There are everyone here, including pirates, wealthy businessmen, princes and nobles, as well as some plainclothes navy and government officials.

And the underground emperors have also received invitations, the king of loan sharks in the currency field, Du Feld, the Queen of Happy Street in the entertainment field, Stussy, big news in the intelligence field, Morgans, the deep currents in the transportation field, Umit , warehousing field concealment division, Gilbertson.

Of the six underground emperors, the only one missing was the emperor of the killer realm.

Stussy and Gilbertson are old acquaintances. The former's colleague is also responsible for the task of detecting intelligence, so it is not surprising to be here.

Umit is in charge of transportation, and he also comes here to seek cooperation possibilities. After all, goods and people need ships to come and go.

As for Morgans, Moria spent a lot of money to buy the front pages of several of his news. There was no conflict of interest, and coming here was considered a face-saving measure.

The reason why so many people suddenly came was not only because of the publicity, but also because of security. Most places on the ship were monitored by phone bugs to ensure the safety of the lives and property of those who boarded the ship.

The most attractive gimmick is the Mermaid Paradise, where mermaids of various colors will perform shows...

The ship is also divided into various areas, each with its own dedicated person in charge. Baccarat is responsible for the casino, Perona is responsible for the amusement park, and Horsman is responsible for the snack street.

Absalom volunteered to manage the hot springs and bathhouses, but was rejected by Moria and he was appointed captain of the security brigade.

You don't need to worry about other people, but you still have to entertain some famous people.

As for the Queen of Happy Street, her status is extraordinary and requires Moria to entertain her personally.

Preparing to enter the presidential suite of the eight-star hotel, Stusy's mind was completely blank at the moment.

"This animal..."

If it was from the front, up and down, she could still control it, but from behind, she felt like she could barely catch her breath, and her head was buzzing.

When the clouds closed and the rain stopped, Moriah lifted the petite person onto his lap and let her sit sideways, with his arms acting as her support.

"Is there any instruction from above this time?" The fingers of Moria's left hand pointed upward, and the other hand went around his armpit and he didn't know what he was doing.

Stussy's cheeks were slightly red, and she said with a strong and calm expression: "It says that as a member of the King's Shichibukai, you must hand over part of your income on time, and don't think about any tricks."

This is when I saw Moria's entertainment city being built, and I was jealous.

However, handing over part of the income is not new now. It was already a clear rule when we became the Shichibukai.

In addition to being forced to accept the summons of the World Government and paying a certain amount of income to the government, the Shichibukai are free to move around without any interference from the government.

"It's okay if you want me to pay." Moria said seriously: "You go back and tell them that it's okay to pay, but you must admit that this is a legal zone, and allow officials of the World Government and the navy to spend money here. Of course, The Celestial Dragons can do it too, but they must abide by the rules on the ship.”

"This is simply an unreasonable request...Stop!"

Stussy's words stopped abruptly before she could finish her words.

"Then there is no such good thing. What's the point of me doing this Shichibukai? Not only will I not be recognized, but I also have to hand over huge profits on time!"

Moria sneered, "It's free, don't even think about it."

"I will tell this to the higher ups. Can you let me go now..." Stussy felt aggrieved and wanted to cry. This was really difficult to do.

Seemingly thinking of something, she continued: "Borrow the bathroom and I'll clean it up. If they find out by then, it will really be the end of the world."

"Actually, it's okay if you don't wash it. It's already dried anyway..."

"abnormal!"

"..."

A lot has happened in the past two years, such as the bounty hunter killers secretly controlled by Moria and the mercenary organizations and trade unions, which have developed rapidly during this period.

This also directly impacted the status of Dorag Piecro, the original emperor of the killer field.

In an office on the top floor, after taking a bath, Moriah read the documents from Bowness for a while, as well as the news from spies stationed around the world. Most of this is trivial and unimportant.

But there was a piece of news above that caught Moria's attention.

It was in the New World that the Flamingo was discovered.

In other words, the Don Quixote family went to the New World.

During this period of time in the world, Moria also found out some information. The Don Quixote family was making a lot of money from the arms business. Their products were of high quality and low price. As for the suppliers...

There is already reliable news, coming from Wano Country.

In other words, the Don Quixote family sells weapons for Kaido's Beast Pirates.

"It's time to make a decision." Moriah rubbed his temples, leaned on the seat, and looked at the ceiling hanging with crystal chandeliers.

"Buru bulu bulu——"

The phone bug on the table suddenly made a sound.

Moria thought for a moment and answered the phone.

Xin Duoli's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Boss, are you busy over there? I have something to tell you."

"Sinduoli? It's not very busy now. The concert is over?" Moria asked.

"The concert... hasn't started yet, but I have a friend who wants to meet you." Xin Duoli suddenly hesitated.

"Friends? Friends from Xihai?" Moria immediately thought of Sindori's hometown. Twilight City was opening to the outside world for the first time. It was normal for people from Xihai to come here.

"No...no, that...she, boss, you have seen her too." Xinduoli seemed to have something on her mind.

Although Moria wanted to ask who it was, he gave up the idea when he thought that he would see it soon.

"Just ask him to come to me on the top floor of the hotel. If he has anything to say, he can tell me in person." Moria said in a gentle tone.

Seemingly sensing Moria's emotions, Sindori felt relieved.

"Boom boom boom!"

Not long after, Moria, who was looking out at the blue sea through the window, heard a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

After Moria finished speaking, the person outside the door seemed to hesitate for a moment, then opened the door and walked in after a moment.

When the man came in, the first thing he saw was a room full of exquisite and luxurious decorations. He felt that he had never seen anything so gorgeous in his life.

Then his eyes shifted, finally locking on the person who was stroking the window with his hand and looking into the distance.

"My lord." She called timidly.

Moria didn't seem to hear it. The man suddenly became a little uneasy and couldn't stand, let alone sit.

In fact, Moria knew it the first time she came in, but deliberately did not look back.

After a long time, Moriah withdrew his gaze, sat on the soft seat, and yawned, seemingly unable to arouse any interest.

"What are you doing here?" Moria's attitude was not very good, and it could even be said that there was a hint of disgust.

The visitor was none other than Violet, the second princess of the Kingdom of Dressrosa. She seemed to be dressed up carefully at the moment. Her clothes were solemn yet gorgeous, and she was noble yet charming.

"Sir, I..." Violet pursed her lips and took a long time to speak.

But she was interrupted by Moriah as soon as she opened her mouth: "Sir? I can't afford it. I'm just a pirate and I can't bear this title...!"

Moriah still remembered Violet's behavior back then, showing her unabashed contempt for the pirates, as if she had an inherent nobility as a princess.

"thump!"

Without saying a word, Violet knelt down on the ground with a plop. Because she was wearing a long skirt and the fabric was not very thick, her knees might have been red.

"Sir, please forgive me for my ignorance at that time. I am absolutely not disrespectful to you now."

Violet's attitude has undergone a 180-degree change, and even her personality seems to have undergone a huge change, from being ordinary and youthful to being mature and restrained.

What happened to cause such a big change?

Seeing Violet kneel down immediately, Moriah didn't let her get up, but her expression softened a little.

"Tell me, what's the matter? I don't believe this is your conscience discovery and awakening." Moria stared at her and said, seeming to know something at this moment.

"The Don Quixote family headed by Doflamingo occupied the Kingdom of Dressrosa through trickery, imprisoned my father, and killed a large number of royals..." Violet stated what happened before: "I want to Please take action..."

"What does this have to do with me? Even if the Don Quixote family kills all of you, it will be the World Government that will take care of this matter."

Moria sneered and said, what he said was indeed correct, it really had nothing to do with him.

Violet's intestines were so regretful at this moment that Doflamingo, a Shichibukai, could change the kingdom's ownership in just a few days, and the world government did not dare to intervene...

It was unwise for her not to leave a good impression on Moria, who was rumored to be much stronger than Doflamingo.

At this moment, she realized how ridiculous the superiority she had shown to the other party was.

"I can give you money, 10 billion. As long as you help us take back the country, the money will be yours."

Violet said that if she had no other choice, she would not come to Moriah. Among the people she knew, it seemed that only the former had this ability.

"Ten billion, you are really rich!" Moria suddenly slapped the table and laughed: "Look, the entire Twilight City belongs to me, do you think I will be short of that ten billion!?"

Violet stopped talking. From the moment she got on the boat, what she saw along the way seemed to be in the land of gold, and it certainly didn't look like she was short of money.

"If nothing goes wrong, just leave on your own? Princess... If you don't stand by your side, you are not even a princess. You are just a princess whose country has perished. You are nothing!"

Moria continued: "You may be noble in the eyes of others, but in my eyes, you are not worthy of my attention. If it weren't for Sindori, do you think you can appear here?"

Violet felt that nothing was left after her dignity had been trampled upon at this moment. Indeed, as he said, the princess of the country was just an ordinary person and had nothing to say.

"Rustling!"

"This is my first time, I can give it to you." After a rustling sound of undressing, the gorgeous dance skirt fell to the ground.

The wheat-colored skin is inlaid with several agate gemstones.

Moria stared at her with a hint of shock, then returned to normal and said seriously:

"I have never been a womanizer!!"
