Who made him the Pirate King?.

Chapter 176 Set off to the Sabaody Archipelago!

Gekko Moriah joins the "Princess Mononoke Pirates".

The Mononoke Princess Pirates are also part of the "Storm Fleet".

Round it up.

Gekko Moriah is also Storm's subordinate.

As expected, the pirates on the sea all like to reconcile and compromise.

Storm directly recruited Moonlight Moriah, but the fat guy was unwilling.

But if he advocated for Perona to recruit Gekko Moria, the other party would agree...

one way or another.

Storm successfully recruited another of the Shichibukai.

However, he did not tell Moonlight Moriah about the existence of the "Cross Guild".

The main reason is that Moonlight Moriah's strength and mentality are too poor...

Although weak, Gekko Moriah can be strengthened by a large number of "shadows";

However, mental collapse and loss of will cannot be solved by ordinary means.

Will influences dominance.

The role of domineering in the new world is self-evident.

Crocodile Sand is training hard, regaining his former strength bit by bit.

But Moonlight Moriah...

At least until this fat guy regains the power of [Haki].

Storm would not tell the other party about the existence of the "Cross Guild".

As for whether Gekko Moriah will regain [Heroic]...

Even Storm couldn't be sure of this.

The problem of Moonlight Moriah was solved.

"Perona, can we go now?"

Storm looked at the Mononoke Princess and asked directly.

"We're leaving the Terror Bark now!"

"leave?"

Perona blinked a little confusedly, then immediately looked at Gekko Moriah.

"Lord Moria, are you going to leave with us?"

"No!"

Moonlight Moria simply shook his head.

Although he had just joined Perona's "Princess Mononoke Pirates", he didn't really want to act with Perona.

At least now Moonlight Moria has another thing to deal with.

"I'm going to Impel Down now! The bodies of the pirates in Impel Down... and the shadows of the prisoners! I want to bring them all back!"

Moonlight Moriah still wants to continue building his "zombie army".

Although Perona had some small regrets.

But she also didn't want to interfere with Gekko Moriah's actions - just like Gekko Moriah had basically not interfered with her life before.

"Well, Lord Moria, goodbye!"

Perona, in soul state, shrank directly back into the Sweet Baby Bear.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon slowly walked over.

"Moonlight Moria, I hope you can make some progress when we meet next time."

Storm looked at Moonlight Moriah and reminded him in a calm tone.

"If someone who doesn't even know Haki goes to Wano Country, he's just asking for death."

"Humph!"

Gekko Moriah withdrew his gaze from Perona and instead stared at Storm with a cold snort.

"I don't need your reminder! White Dragon!
"I will personally avenge the blood feud between me and the Beasts Pirates!"

Storm didn't care whether Moonlight Moriah was telling the truth or lying.

Anyway, when we go to Wano Country, Gekko Moriah’s true level will be revealed!

Storm jumped onto the head of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Brook and Sweetheart Bear had already reached the body of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon one step ahead.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon flapped its wings and rushed into the sky above the Horror Bark, then broke through the fog and flew towards the edge of the Devil's Triangle.

Moonlight Moriah watched the Blue-Eyes White Dragon gradually disappearing in the mist. Only after the white dot completely disappeared did he reluctantly look away.

"Perona..."

Gekko Moriah forced himself to suppress the "pain of losing his daughter" and looked at Hobguk and Absalom beside him.

"Bring me the Den Den Mushi! I want to talk to the Five Elders in person! I'm going to Impel Down!"

Shortly after the Blue-Eyes White Dragon left.

The terrifying three-masted ship also spread its sails and flew towards the doldrums.

……

The blue-eyes white dragon gallops across the sky.

"Lord Moria..."

Perona's soul once again left her body, and she looked back with longing at the terrifying three-masted sailboat that had disappeared behind her.

But the sadness of parting did not last long, and the anticipation of entering a new world made Perona turn around.

"Master Bai Long!"

Perona flew to Storm's side. In her soul state, she had the ability to fly at will.

"Where are we going now?"

Hearing this question, Brook on the side immediately cast a concerned look, even though he had no eyes...

"Chabaoti Archipelago!"

Storm replied calmly.

"There, there is a remnant of the old times who I want to meet."

"Remnants of the old times?"

Brooke couldn't help but interject.

"Captain, are you talking about me? Yo-ho-ho!"

"It's not you..."

Storm almost forgot that there was an old skeleton next to him that was even "older" than the "old times".

"Silvaz Rayleigh, the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates, also known as 'Pluto'!"

"Rayleigh..."

Brooke was lost in memories.

"It seems that there was a newcomer with this name back then..."

Perona was not interested in topics like "remnants of the old times" or "Pluto Rayleigh".

But she cares a lot about the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Master Bai Long!"

Perona flew back and forth around Storm, like a happy little butterfly. "It is said that the Sabaody Archipelago is a very beautiful island, isn't it?"

"If you just look at the natural scenery, the Chabaoti Archipelago is really beautiful."

Storm recalled for a moment and spoke frankly.

"The Chabaoti Archipelago is an island made up of Algiers mangroves. Rather than calling it an 'island', it would be better to call it a 'tree'.

“The seven routes in the Paradise Phase all end at the Sabaody Archipelago, which is much more prosperous than ordinary islands.

"If there is anything you want to buy, you can find almost everything in the Chabaoti Archipelago."

The distance between the Navy Headquarters and the Sabaody Archipelago is not that far.

Storm had also been to the Chabaoti Archipelago several times before.

Unfortunately, he was short of money at that time.

Even once he encountered the "Devil Fruit Auction" being held in the Sabaody Archipelago.

There was no money in Storm's pocket...

Not to mention bidding for a devil fruit.

At that time, Storm didn't even have the qualifications to enter the auction...

To be fair.

The Chabaoti Archipelago is indeed prosperous.

But that kind of prosperity was built on countless blood and darkness.

In some people's eyes, the Chabaoti Archipelago is like a paradise.

In some people's eyes, the Chabao Archipelago is hell!
“It sounds like fun!”

After hearing what Storm said, Perona's eyes lit up.

“Actually, I have a lot of things I want to buy…”

"is it?"

Storm glanced at Perona and asked a very crucial question.

"Do you have money?"

"……money?"

Perona came back to her senses from her admiration for jewelry and beautiful clothes and looked at Storm blankly.

"Aren't we pirates?

"We don't have money, it would be great if other people had money!"

This time, it was Storm's turn to be silent.

Moonlight Moria, you have really done so much harm to others!

Storm gritted his teeth.

"But, you're right!"

“Hehehe…”

Perona laughed happily, like a silver bell.

"My [Ghost Fruit] is invincible - well, invincible against ordinary pirates!"

Storm had no way to refute this point.

In the first half of the Grand Line where almost no one understood [Haki], it was indeed difficult for any pirate to threaten Perona.

If we only talk about "self-protection ability".

Storm felt that Perona was even stronger than Brook next to her.

"Captain, are you looking at me?"

Brooke pretended to puff out her chest, but she was actually puffing out her sternum.

“Yohoho! Even though my [Yoizumi Fruit] is weak, I will never embarrass the captain!”

"Not just me, but also the 'Rumba Pirates'."

Storm nodded and then added.

“After we finish dealing with the affairs of the Sabaody Archipelago, I will send you to reunite with your other companions.

"You two need to undergo some special training for a period of time!"

In fact.

Storm could have also left Perona and Brook on the Thriller Bark and let Gekko Moriah be responsible for the "training task" of the two.

But Storm thought about it carefully.

Moonlight Moria is a waste...

Let a loser teach Perona and Brook...

Storm was very worried that Perona and Brook were delayed.

Let’s send it to the Germa Kingdom first!
Big Bear’s level is definitely better than Moonlight Moriah!
I heard that there would be "special training".

Brook and Perona instantly revealed completely different attitudes.

"Yohoho! Special training? I'm really looking forward to it!"

Now that Brook has joined the Storm Pirates and retained his position as captain of the Rumbar Pirates, he is naturally more eager to improve his strength.

"Special training? No! It sounds so tiring!"

Although Perona also likes the "Princess Mononoke Pirates", she is more playful by nature and has no idea or motivation to train and become stronger.

"This matter is non-negotiable, Perona."

Storm said seriously.

"Your [Ghost Fruit] has great potential, don't let it go to waste."

"..."

Perona pouted.

She doesn't care whether she lives up to the [Ghost Fruit] or not.

but.

Perona didn't want to let Storm down.

"Okay..."

"By the way, I seem to have forgotten to introduce another person to you."
