Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Just like him in the past... no, just like him now.

A person who knows how to cherish their partners is not a vicious person.

He strongly agrees with this statement!

Many people died at his hands, but most of them were those who abandoned their companions when faced with danger.

Even if that person was strong and his shadow was helpful to him, he did not keep him.

Instead, he used his own scissors to cut off the other person's head...

"Hehehehe..."

After a few seconds of silence, Moria suddenly grinned.

Moria didn't grasp Rocks' hand. Instead, ignoring his injuries and pain, he used his shadow to support himself as he rose to his feet...

His greater height allowed him to look down on Rocks. Moria grinned. "Your appreciation for your comrades touches me."

"But I can't tell if you're faking it..."

"Therefore, in order to expose your hypocrisy, I will be watching your every move!"

"If one day you reveal your true colors, I will pierce your head with a shadow spear!"

Moria's smile turned sinister: "Anyone who deceives or abandons their comrades deserves to die, and you, the Blackwing Demon, are no exception!"

Although it seemed like a random excuse to save face.

But anyone who isn't a fool can understand what Moria meant...

"Looks like I'll have another 'supervisor' in addition to Yixiao..."

Rocks withdrew his right hand and laughed, "Then you'll just have to watch, Moria."

"If one day I maliciously deceive or abandon my comrades, I'm afraid you won't even need to lift a finger; everyone else will take care of me..."

"Hehehe, then let's add me to the list..."

Moria gave a cold laugh.

They showed no respect whatsoever to Rocks, the future captain.

Although you have to bow down and join because of the other party's "coercion", it is not so easy to make him truly convinced!

Rocks smirked, "Heh, as expected of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you've got some nerve!"

Moria said calmly, "It won't be like that anymore..."

If word gets out that he joined the Blackwing Daima Pirates, he will definitely be removed from his position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

However, since he voluntarily gave up the position rather than being stripped of it, he didn't feel ashamed.

Joining the Blackwing Daima Pirates wouldn't bring shame to him as a former Shichibukai.

The other party has the qualifications and the ability to make someone like him choose to pledge allegiance.

Within the Blackwing Demon Pirates, there exists a "blind swordsman" who can fight against a Marine Admiral!

Although he didn't want to admit it, if this news was true, he really couldn't beat the blind swordsman...

"Don't worry, Lao Mo, joining us won't embarrass you."

Rocks patted Moria's still somewhat obese belly: "Being a partner of me, the 'God of the New Era,' is much more impressive than your title of Shichibukai."

Moria: "..."

There are many flaws.

Leaving aside the fact that his title was changed, what on earth is this "god of the new era"?

Is this guy really that confident?

No wonder the Conqueror's Haki is so powerful.

Daring to call himself a god, he inherently places himself in a higher position than the Admirals, the Four Emperors, and the Pirate King.

Given this monstrous strength, having such a powerful level of Conqueror's Haki seems quite reasonable...

"Speaking of which..."

Rocks didn't care about Moria's silence.

It would be strange if I wasn't furious after he easily defeated me and even threatened me...

Rocks looked Moria up and down, and felt that this guy was a bit "thinner" than the one in the original story.

So he asked, "Did you start dieting after being defeated by Kaido again?"

"..."

Moria's lips twitched.

He roared through gritted teeth, "Don't mention that damn guy in front of me! I didn't lose this time, he just got away!"

Upon hearing this, Lockes stopped provoking the other party and said with a smile, "Well, I'll take my revenge later."

"But you do need to lose weight. With that big belly, people would think you're eight months pregnant..."

"..."

Moriah was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed.

What do you mean he's eight months pregnant?

He's a fucking man!

This guy is really sharp-tongued; I really want to tear his mouth apart...

"Come on, let me introduce you to your future companions."

Lox wasn't trying to provoke the other side.

Seeing that the other party was about to explode, he quickly changed the subject: "Please take care of me in the future, Lao Mo."

"Oh, I should say 'you all,' you won't abandon your companions, will you? Then join our Blackwing Demon Adventurer's Guild!"

Rocks had just learned from Lola and the others about some of the things that happened after Kaido's invasion...

Absalom, one of Moria's three oddballs, died from Kaido's heat breath after eating the Clear-Clear Fruit...

Although thinking this way feels a bit unfair to Moria.

But that guy really deserved to die!

"Perona should come with me, but I don't know about Hogback."

“I would say we have a business relationship. If he wants to leave, I won’t stop him.”

Moria thought for a moment, then said to Rocks, "Please don't kill him either..."

Apart from zombies.

Of his subordinates, only the "Three Eccentrics" were alive.

Absalom died earlier from Kaido's heat breath...

Perona was someone he adopted and raised. Although she sometimes said things she didn't mean, she always considered him family.

She will join the Blackwing Demon Pirates with him.

Although Hogback was nominally his subordinate, their relationship was more of a collaboration.

Now, due to the side effects of the "Shadow Gathering Place," all the shadows have returned to their owners.

Victoria Cindy, the actress whom Hogback cared about, has also become a corpse once again...

Since he has chosen to join the Blackwing Demon Pirates, he needs to take into account Captain Rocks' thoughts.

I will no longer use shadows to turn Victoria Cynthia into a zombie...

Then his deal with Hogback would no longer exist!

"I can agree to that."

Rocks didn't pay much attention to Hogback either.

Although the other party seems to be able to help Xiao Yi's medical skills?

However, if the other party is unwilling to join Moria, then so be it.

No need to worry about this...

Moria glanced at Rocks and nodded, "Thank you..."

Lox waved his hand and walked towards his other companions: "Let's go, let's go see the rest of our comrades first..."

……

"Hehehehe..."

Having met his future companions, Moria thanked Illya, who was bandaging and treating him, saying, "Thank you, little doctor."

Because Moria was much taller than the average person, Illya had to put in much more effort to create the healing potion.

It took a lot of effort on her...

Upon hearing Moria's words, Little Yi wiped away her sweat and smiled happily: "Hehe, you're welcome! It's my duty as the ship's doctor to heal my comrades!"

She felt happy to be able to help her friends.

Finally, her job as the ship's doctor can be put to good use!

"Your medical skills are amazing. Please take good care of me if I get injured in the future."

Moria's otherwise somewhat ferocious face revealed a smile that appeared to be rather gentle.

Perhaps he was infected by Xiao Yi's smile?

A young girl's innocent smile can always soothe the soul.

He felt that the anger in his heart had lessened...

"Horo horo horo~~"

"So, does that mean we're all members of the Black Winged Demon Pirates from now on? Hehehehehe~~"

Having recovered from being stunned by the electric shock, Perona's face was still somewhat blackened, but she seemed to be mostly fine.
