Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 485: Mysterious Songstress Kalina

"No! You should have known from the beginning that you simply could not possess the power to control the Celestial Dragons!"

"You also know very well that everything you have now was achieved with the permission of the Celestial Dragons."

"You just... refuse to accept the truth!"

Moriah, who had also indulged in self-deception, seemed to have a pair of eyes that could see through everything, and his gaze fell on Tesoro like a sharp knife.

"Damn it!!! You...what do you know!!!"

Tesoro, who was beaten to death, collapsed to the ground powerlessly, and his already bloodshot eyes became even more redder after hearing Moria's words.

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

Tesoro used up his last bit of strength and wanted to roar something at Moria to prove that he was not a clown.

But before he could utter a word, a shadow suddenly emerged from his shadow, transformed into a sharp spear and pierced Tesoro's chest directly.

Phew! ! !

Scarlet blood suddenly gushed out and flowed down the pitch-black shadow spear.

Although such an injury would not cause a strong man of Tezoro's level to die directly, it would officially put his life into countdown.

"What do I know?" Moria's eyes flashed, "I know your thoughts very well."

"Because of my own incompetence, I locked myself in an illusory reality, thinking that as long as I didn't leave this world, I wouldn't be a complete failure."

"If there were no Straw Hat Pirates, I might still be sinking into such illusions and unable to extricate myself."

"So...Tezulo..."

Moria grinned, and the light in his eyes suddenly bloomed.

"As a fellow loser, would you consider changing your master?!"

"It may sound a bit unpleasant, but being a dog for the Celestial Dragons wouldn't be very joyful, right!?"

"At least on the Straw Hat side, as long as you are willing to be loyal, they will give you everything you want."

"Just like I am now."

"So Tezulo..."

The dark shadow spear extended two branches, lifting up the body of Tesoro, who had been completely controlled, so that he could reach the same height as Moria's eyes.

Moriah continued, "I'll give you a chance to give your all to the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"By then, not only will you be able to gain enough power for revenge, you can even attack Marijoa yourself and put an end to those arrogant Celestial Dragons yourself!"

"You should know clearly that what I said is true, because I have experienced that wonderful feeling once!"

Under Tesoro's gradually fading eyes, Moria slowly stretched out his arm, his eyes narrowed, as if he saw the scene where his arm was once stained with the blood of the Celestial Dragons.

Looking at Tesoro's eyes that were gradually closing, Moria knew that he would not give an answer immediately.

After ensuring that he had completely lost his ability to fight, the spear transformed by the shadow warrior swung violently and threw him to the ground again.

"Perona, lock him up. When he sobers up, I believe he will make the right decision."

"Yes, Lord Moria!"

Perona, who had been watching the battle for a long time, nodded obediently.

With the help of the power of Pokémon, she has also achieved considerable growth.

Although she is not as good as Moria, who is already a talented and powerful person, she can now easily deal with the elite vice admiral of the navy.

If we put aside Perona's almost zero physical skills, she can be considered a strong person at the level of Shichibukai.

At the notice of its ghost, a group of zombies on standby immediately ran over from a distance holding a thick seastone.

As zombies, although their internal bodies will resist anything related to seawater, the surface of their bodies is not afraid of even seastone.

All I can say is that the power of the devil fruit is so unreasonable and full of all kinds of BUG-level loopholes.

Thanks to the zombies' efforts, the seriously injured Tesoro was soon tied up tightly, and blood was still flowing out from the wound on his chest.

However, Moria had no intention of wasting any good medicine on him.

For wounds of this severity, Hobak could just sew them up a few times.

He didn't have time to influence Tesoro the way Chihong "inspired" him.

Only when he is on the verge of death can he quickly recognize himself and the reality, and make the right decision.

"Lord Moria."

After the unconscious Tesoro was kidnapped by the zombies, Perona, who was floating in the air, suddenly spoke and waved to two zombies to bring up a tied-up unconscious girl.

Peng!
Under the inhumane and violent actions of the zombies, the girl was thrown to the ground at random.

But even after going through all the torture, the girl's exquisite appearance and temperament remained unchanged.

Long legs, white breasts, purple hair, and a dress that looks simple but is made of luxurious fabrics...

If Sanji appeared here, he would definitely kick each of the zombies immediately to blame them for their rude treatment of such a peerless beauty.

At this time, Perona explained and reported.

"Lord Moria, this woman just sneaked into the control room of the Entertainment City while you were fighting Tezoro. She was discovered by the zombies who were searching for her. Since she had no strength, she was easily controlled by the zombies."

Today, Moria is no longer obsessed with the zombie army he once pursued.

Almost all the zombies that he was able to survive had bodies at the level of the previous zombie generals.

The shadows he used were all enemies imprisoned by the Straw Hat Pirates or experimental subjects left on the Technology Island for the scientific research team to extract bloodline factors.

His strength is not that strong, but it is comparable to that of an ordinary naval commander.

It was easy to deal with a sneaky girl.

Perona continued, "I thought her behavior didn't seem like that of Tezulo's men, so I went to find out her identity."

"So, who is she?"

Seeing Perona's hesitant expression, Moria asked curiously.

After choking a little, Perona spoke slowly with a trembling voice:

"According to my investigation, this woman seems to be the entertainer that Tesoro just invited to the Entertainment City, the mysterious singer named Kalina!"

"Mysterious Songstress? I've never heard of this name before..."

Moria frowned slightly.

But at this moment, it was like a beam of light piercing straight through his brain.

Moriah's pupils suddenly contracted for a moment, and then he immediately looked solemnly at the beautiful girl on the ground.

As a true strong man, although he is not interested in women, he can see that the beauty of the girl on the ground is one of the best in the world.

"Wait! You said this woman's name is...Karina!?"

Moria suddenly remembered that there seemed to be some markings in the information provided to them by Chihong.

Kalina, the peerless thief who may exist in the Golden City, may exist in the Entertainment City as a singer or in some other identity. Due to the influence of the Crimson Butterfly Effect, Kalina at this time had not yet made a name for herself in Tezoro's hands.

And under Kalina's deliberate control, any photos with her appearance rarely circulate.

Therefore, when Chihong provided information, he just wrote an ambiguous text message based on the plot of the original work.

Of course, the above are not the point!

Because Moria remembers clearly...

At the end of Kalina's information, there is a note: Nami's former companion, can be considered a good friend. If you encounter him, try not to cause any harm to him.

"Quick! Quick...quickly go and bring a chair over!!!"

Thinking of this, Moria's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly gave orders to Perona.

Perona, who had also read Karina's intelligence, nodded immediately and led the zombies to search the area where Tesoro was active.

Soon a large sofa with a gorgeous appearance and shining gold was brought out.

Moriah then ordered the zombies to carefully carry Kalina to the sofa and untie the ropes on her body.

Finally, he gave the unconscious Kalina a bottle of good medicine to help her recover from her injuries.

Although they are a member of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, they will receive a batch of Pokémon-related supplies every once in a while, including healing items such as good medicine.

But they are not direct members of the Straw Hat Pirates after all, so this magical medicine that can heal all injuries is naturally precious.

Now Moria was able to use it on a woman who had nothing to do with them, and it was not because Moria was soft-hearted.

But he was really afraid that Nami would secretly harm him because he hurt Nami's friend.

After all, the economic lifeline and high-end props of the entire Straw Hat Pirates are all in Nami's hands.

It can be said that how much good medicine they can get every month depends entirely on Nami's words.

This also makes Nami the most respectable Straw Hat member privately considered by many captains of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.

As the healing medicine was slowly poured in, the unconscious Kalina slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing that caught her eye was Moria's ferocious face with sharp mouth and fangs.

"scare!!!"

Kalina was horrified, her body trembled violently, and the pair of weapons on her chest emitted ripples.

"You...what are you going to do!?"

Kalina, who secretly observed the fight between Moria and Tesoro before taking action, knew very well how terrifying the monster-like man in front of her was.

So after facing the reality, she thought of taking advantage of the chaos to grab some money from Tezoro's treasure house.

But just as her action began, she was besieged by a group of ugly zombies, causing her to suffer a blow to the head and fall into a coma.

Now her consciousness is still stuck in the fear of being besieged by zombies.

Thinking of the terrifying bodies of those monsters, Kalina screamed in fear:
"Don't hurt me! I know where Tezulo's vault is, and I know how to control this island!"

"Leaving me here will definitely only benefit you, not harm you."

Although the wealth she had obtained was about to fly away, compared with her life, she still knew how to make choices.

However, what Kalina didn't expect was that after her scream, she was met with a sharp voice.

"Ms. Kalina."

The well-informed Kalina could tell that the man in front of her was trying his best to suppress his speaking habits in order to make his voice sound slightly gentler.

Although this approach has no effect.

"You don't need to panic, we never intended to do anything to you." Moria controlled the corners of his mouth and revealed a self-righteous smile.

"You...who are you?"

Quickly realizing that she did not seem to be in danger, Kalina's mind flashed with curiosity, and she immediately dared to ask.

As someone who had squeezed into the world's top power circle, she could of course see that the person in front of her was Gekko Moriah, the former Shichibukai.

But without knowing the other party's purpose, she chose to disguise herself as an ordinary, weak and ignorant girl.

But what Kalina didn't expect again was that the other party saw through her disguise in an instant.

"Ms. Kalina, with your intelligence, it's impossible that you don't know our identities, right?"

"But since you asked, I'll introduce myself."

"I am Gekko Moriah, one of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"And now, I am the captain of the Moonlight Pirates under the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, and I am also the mastermind behind this attack."

"Tezoro and the strong men on this island have all been controlled by us, so Ms. Kalina, we'd better be frank with each other."

"I believe that if Lady Nami were here, she would also hope that you would recognize our identities as soon as possible."

"Wait! Who are you talking about!?"

Kalina, who was analyzing Moria's purpose, was suddenly stunned and asked subconsciously.

Moriah smiled and responded, "Nami-sama, one of the senior officers of the Straw Hat Pirates, and also one of my immediate superiors."

"I think you should be very familiar with Lady Nami's name."

"........."

Kalina was silent for a moment, then spoke softly:

"of course."

"Storm Witch, Weather Witch, Child of Disaster..."

"In the past two years, I have come here because of Nami's name."

"It's just that I didn't expect that after so many years, Nami would still remember a little-known person like me."

“Hehehe, Ms. Kalina is no small figure, as she was able to sneak into the entertainment city and disguise herself as Tezoro’s subordinate.”

"Of course, compared to the masters of the Straw Hat Pirates, everyone in this world is just a nobody!"

"So... it was Nami who asked you to find me?" Kalina showed expectation on her face. Perhaps she also wanted to hear that her companion who had already soared to the sky still remembered a small person like her.

But what he got in return was Moria shaking his head gently:
"I'm sorry, but I can't guess what the Straw Hat Pirates are thinking."

"I only know that in the information Lord Red gave me, there was a note about not letting you get hurt."

"As for the rest, let's talk about it after you meet the adults."

"But before, Ms. Kalina, you said that you would be able to control this city ship built on the island, right!?"

"That's great. Could you please drive it to the Pokémon Sea?"

"Then you might have a chance to meet Lady Nami."

"What do you think, Ms. Karina?"
