Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Shaking his head, Kyle spoke again:

"Alright, now that you've become such a pathetic mess, I have no interest in playing with a piece of trash anymore!"

"The sooner we arrest you, the sooner we can get back!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kyle's figure transformed into purple lightning and vanished from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Moria.

A fist crackling with purple lightning slammed down on Moria's round belly.

!!!

Moria's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively tried to defend himself, but his speed was far inferior to Kyle's.

Bang! !

A dull thud followed as Kyle's punch landed squarely on Moria's stomach. A burst of violent purple lightning, mixed with immense power, blasted Moria away instantly.

Kyle used even more force in this punch than in the first one, and Moria's body smashed through countless trees along the way before finally crashing into his castle.

The castle collapsed, and countless stones fell, burying Moria in the pile of stones.

Kyle hovered in mid-air, his figure flashed again, and in an instant he arrived in front of the castle. The castle in front of him was still collapsing, with rubble flying and dust billowing.

With a casual wave of his hand, a shockwave exploded, scattering the smoke and dust, and blowing away the rocks, revealing Moria, charred black, emitting black smoke, and with the whites of his eyes shining through, beneath the pile of stones.

Kyle landed on the ground and walked step by step toward Moria.

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out.

"Lord Moriah!!!"

Kyle paused slightly, looking in the direction of the sound. He saw a little girl running over from not far away, her gaze fixed on Moria, her eyes filled with visible worry, and even glistening with tears.

Before long, she arrived in front of Moria, and Kyle did not attack her during this process.

He recognized her immediately as Perona.

He was also aware of the relationship between Perona and Moria.

So even if the other person is a pirate, he is a Marine.

Out of a sense of righteousness and morality, he did not mind giving the "father and daughter" some time to say goodbye.

After all, once they're arrested, they'll likely never see each other again.

Perona, her eyes filled with tears, shook Moria's body repeatedly, crying out:

"Lord Moriah, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"

"Wake up! Wake up!!"

However, no matter how hard she tried, Moria showed no signs of waking up.

Suddenly, she wiped away her tears, turned around, opened her arms and stood in front of Kyle, looking at him with a stubborn and determined gaze.

"I will not allow you to lay a hand on Lord Moria!!"

"Come on! Let me be your opponent! If you want to mess with Lord Moria, you'll have to step over my dead body!!"

Perona's voice wasn't loud, but it was very firm.

After saying that, she stretched out her palm and shouted:

"Negative ghosts!!"

A white ghost flew from her palm and flew towards Kyle.

"Has he already eaten the Devil Fruit by now?"

Kyle murmured softly, making no move, completely ignoring the negative phantom flying towards him.

The negative phantom crashed straight into Kyle's chest. Perona's face lit up with joy, and she instinctively shouted:

"Hit!!"

But the next second, her eyes widened instantly. Her negative ghost did not pass through Kyle's body as usual, but dissipated the moment it hit Kyle.

Kyle showed no signs of negativity; instead, he chuckled.

"It did hit, but it was useless!"

"This...how is this possible?!"

Perona took two steps back in disbelief, completely unable to comprehend why the negative ghost that had always worked was now ineffective.

"Don't make me sound like the main villain!"

"Remember your place: you are pirates, and I am a Marine!"

"As a pirate, you must be prepared to be captured or killed!"

"You're lucky. In my opinion, you're not the type who absolutely must die, so I'm giving you a lifetime food and drink package!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kyle's figure flashed, and he vanished instantly in a flash of lightning.

!!!

Perona's eyes narrowed, her gaze sweeping around her.

Where are they?! Where did they go?!

Before she could think any further, she felt a force on her neck, and then everything went black as she lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

But before he could fall to the ground, Kyle grabbed him by the collar.

He glanced at Perona, then at Moria on the ground.

Three of the four have already been captured, so only Hogback is left!

With this in mind, Kyle immediately released his Observation Haki and instantly located Hogback's position.

Just as she was about to go find him, she suddenly sensed something was amiss. She immediately put down Perona, crossed her arms in front of her, and wrapped them with Armament Haki.

The very next second, a black fist much larger than a normal person's slammed directly into Kyle's crossed arms.

boom--

With a burst of immense power, Kyle was sent flying backward, but before he had gone ten meters, he transformed into a flash of purple lightning and reappeared dozens of meters away.

Looking up slightly, he saw several pieces of rubble rolling down, and a huge shadow standing where Kyle had just stood.

Behind it, Moria slowly crawled out of the pile of rubble, rubble rolling off his body and kicking up wisps of dust.

A hint of surprise appeared on Kyle's face.

"Didn't you completely lose consciousness?"

"It doesn't matter, defeating you now would be no problem at all..."

Kyle paused abruptly as he met Moria's gaze.

These eyes held a calm confidence, completely different from the foolishness and timidity they had shown before.

"Heh~"

Kyle smiled.

Moria is still Moria, but he is no longer the Moria he once was.

Although it was just a glance, Kyle was certain.

Moria's shadow hoisted Perona onto his shoulder, leaped, and disappeared from Kyle's sight in a few bounds.

Kyle didn't stop her; he knew what Moria meant. He just wanted to keep Perona away to prevent her from being caught in the crossfire of their upcoming battle.

There's absolutely no way to escape from this ship.

Whether Perona is captured or continues to enjoy herself in the Devil's Triangle depends on whether Moria wins or loses!

They lost, and the whole group was arrested and taken back.

Victory! Then she can naturally continue to stay freely on this ship.

Before long, Moriah's shadow returned to the place.

Then they returned to Moria's feet.

The next moment, something happened that left Kyle speechless.

Moria's body was shrinking at an extremely fast speed, and in no time it became the size of Moria that Kyle remembered when he fought Kyle.

"No way?! Your body structure is that outrageous too?!"
