Arceus' Pirate Journey

"That weirdo seems quite interesting."

But the story was not over yet. After a while, they saw Qingjiao again, and this time Qingjiao was holding a booklet.

"Ah, haha, I've thought about it, I can't not repay this kindness, since you don't want the treasure, then this is my token of my gratitude."

Qingjiao handed over the booklet as he spoke.

"This is?"

"This is part of my experience in practicing the Eight-punch Fist. Apart from this awl head and those treasures, this is my most precious thing."

Ba Chong Quan, the secret skill passed down from generation to generation by the Ba Bao Navy, will not be easily passed on to outsiders. Although semi-retired, Qing Jiao is still the pillar of the twelfth generation and is qualified to be the caller.

Some of these skills can be passed on to outsiders. Usually, those who practice them have to join the Eight Treasures Navy, but this time is an exception.

Treasure is something outside of one's body, but strength is not, so they did not refuse this time.

Led by the Babao navy, they toured the Kingdom of Flowers for about a week, using almost all VIP privilege channels. If it weren't for the limited capacity of Furen, they would probably have been able to leave with a bunch of souvenirs.

Before leaving the Kingdom of Flowers, Qingjiao arranged for people to prepare some places worth traveling in the West Sea for them, and then Feren spread his wings and left again.

"Chief, those people have left."

After Zeraora and his men left, the Babao Navy reported the situation to Qingjiao.

"Leaving? He is really an incredible young man. No wonder he is an officer of the man known as the Emperor of the Sea. He is young and promising."

Touching his head, Qingjiao sighed slightly. After returning, he did a simple investigation and found out the other party's identity. Although he had retired for many years, looking at the bounty, he was worth 800 million more than his own.

Coupled with the other party's identity, his impulsiveness almost caused big trouble, so he continued to show goodwill. Although repaying a favor was part of the reason, this factor was also there.

"Give the people below the order to keep an eye out for this kind of thing. It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with getting in touch with the other party."

"Yes, Chief! By the way, the leader of the Erbao navy has asked you to discuss the marriage today. You should set off."

......

A few days later, Feren was still flying in the air. The purpose of the trip was to experience different scenery, so they were not interested in countries similar to the Kingdom of Flowers. After a few days of travel, they arrived at their new destination, a special country dominated by Gothic elements.

And when they arrived here, it seemed that a Halloween event was being held here, and the streets were full of all kinds of weirdos.

Chapter 361 Moria Reappears

This country exudes a gloomy atmosphere. Although they are the Fur Tribe, their appearance here does not attract other people's attention.

Compared to those modified monsters with nails on their heads, zombies wrapped in bandages, evil witches, vampires and other makeups, the appearance of the Fur Tribe is actually very cute.

It was a celebration of the country, and as far as travel was concerned, they came at the perfect time.

Various lanterns carved from pumpkins are piled up on the streets. Except for the different style, the liveliness here is comparable to the Fire Festival in Wano Country.

"The iced pumpkin juice is ready. Please enjoy it slowly."

The waiters dressed like vampires brought the pumpkin juice. The time of celebration here happened to be the pumpkin harvest season, so the streets were filled with all kinds of pumpkin products.

"Why hasn't Dad come back yet?"

The roasted turkey was served, but Hatch was missing. He had said he was going to the bathroom, but he just disappeared.

"There's none in the restroom. I don't know where Uncle Hutch went. The waiter at the restaurant didn't notice him. After all, there are quite a lot of werewolves here."

Zeraora looked around helplessly. Vampires and werewolves were the most common costumes, and many of them were wearing wolf head masks and the like.

"This guy...I'm going to give him a good beating when I get home..."

The fork in Ling's hand was squeezed out of shape, which shows that Hutch's life will not be easy after returning home. However, the most urgent task is to find out where Hutch has gone.

"Setsuna, you stay here with your aunt. I'll go out and look for your uncle."

"Ah."

......

On the other side, Hatch came to a place full of crosses. It was not difficult to tell from some wreaths and tombstones that this should be a cemetery. This is a characteristic of this country. The cemeteries are not independent, but scattered among residential areas.

Similar cemeteries can be seen near ordinary houses or under noble castles.

What attracted Hatch here was a white ghost. He just saw the ghost passing through the body of a child, and then the child suddenly knelt on the ground, muttering that he should not appear in this world.

This aroused Hutch's interest, and he chased the white ghost here, but here he did not see other ghosts, but saw several people digging graves.

There is more than one grave, and there are such strange people standing next to many graves. After digging out the corpse, those people will check whether the corpse is complete. If it is incomplete, they will throw it away, and if it is complete, they will carry it away.

Even though the country was holding a theme event, Hutch felt himself breaking out in a cold sweat, as if it were haunted.

And at this time, those weirdos seemed to have discovered him, so they surrounded him directly.

"Hey, this isn't a performance..."

He saw the empty eye sockets of some people. The situation looked weird no matter how he looked at it. Moreover, those weirdos simply ignored him and raised the sticks, shovels and other tools in their hands to hit him. This was their order, to kill anyone who saw them.

Of course Hatch would not take a beating without fighting back, but with a casual wave of his hand, one of the men's heads was blown off.

Hatch didn't expect that he would kill someone like this, but then he found out that he was wrong. The thing whose head was blown off actually fumbled and put its head back.

"Damn, there are zombies here! We need to tell them..."

Looking at the zombies whose heads and arms had been knocked off without shedding a drop of blood, and which were even surrounding him, he suddenly remembered the salt for exorcism that a so-called witch had sold him before.

With the attitude of giving it a try, he sprinkled a handful of salt at the zombie in front of him, but he didn't expect it to be effective.

The flying salt foam entered the zombie's mouth, and a black thing immediately ran out of the zombie's mouth. The surrounding zombies stopped and retreated uncontrollably when they saw the salt in Hatch's hand.

"Haha, Ling and the others always say that I buy things indiscriminately. It seems that this salt is really effective. Return it! Give it back to me!"

At this time, Hatch showed what it meant to take advantage of the situation. Relying on the bag of salt in his hand, he actually made a way out. However, when he was about to leave, a big man stood in front of him and didn't seem to be afraid of him.

Seeing this he grabbed a handful of salt and threw it over, but this time it didn't work.

"Hehehe, I'm not one of those zombies. I didn't expect there would be a fur tribe here. Let me see, do you want your corpse or your shadow?"

Bounty of 320 million Bailey - Moonlight Moriah.

Although he has not yet recruited Hobgobak to develop his own zombie army, he has already begun to collect some powerful corpses and shadows in preparation for the future.

After being defeated by Kaido and all his men were killed in the battle, Moriah came to the West Sea after stealing the bodies of strong men such as Ryoma. After a period of depression, he thought he had figured it out. Because he was alive, he would lose.

Then as long as his subordinates are immortal, he will lose nothing.

Therefore, he began to look for powerful corpses to make zombie soldiers. However, soldiers made from ordinary corpses were meaningless, so he had been secretly searching for the corpses of powerful people in various places in the West Sea.

But it was very difficult. Some countries preferred cremation, and corpses decayed very quickly. His ability was not enough to turn skeletons into soldiers. Later, he found this place, a country that was accustomed to preserving corpses in formalin or making mummies.

He had previously been collecting intelligence on some powerful dead beings, and took advantage of this Halloween to start his own tomb-robbing activities.

But he suddenly discovered a fleeing shadow. When Moria came over, he saw Hatch who was using salt to drive away the zombies.

The Fur Tribe are much stronger than ordinary humans, whether they are shadows or corpses.

A pair of large scissors appeared in his hand. The clicking sound and the surrounding background made it seem a little scary.

"Hand over your shadow!"

Use battle to test the opponent's strength. If the opponent is strong, take away his shadow. If the opponent is weak, take away his body. The big scissors split into two scissors and slashed towards Hatch.

However, after hearing Moria say that he was not a zombie, Hutch was no longer afraid of him. He just heard that zombies were contagious, so he seemed timid. But he still dared to resist Moria, this big guy.

If Kaido were here, he would be able to see that Moriah is much weaker than he was a few years ago. At that time, his physical skills could still compete with Kaido, but now he would be killed instantly if facing Kaido. Even someone as powerful as Hatch was not able to defeat him immediately.

If it was him a few years ago, he would never do this even without using the ability of his fruit. Feeling that Hatch was not so easy to deal with, Moria also planned to activate his own ability of his fruit, but at this moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky...

Chapter 362: Moriah's Shadow, Ghost Princess Perona

"Uncle, are you okay?"

Zeraora didn't have those concerns. He used lightning to clear a path and cleaned out all the tool zombies. Looking at Hatch who was fighting with Moria, he also locked onto his enemy directly.

No matter what the reason is, since his father-in-law has a fight with others, he must help his father-in-law.

So a bolt of lightning struck Moriah directly. The high voltage caused Moriah's body to twitch a few times, but he did not lose consciousness. Just as Zeraora was preparing to deal with Moriah's next attack, he found that Moriah took two steps back.

Although it was very subtle, for a strong man, this should never happen, and the root cause of this was that Moria was afraid.

The battle three years ago almost became a nightmare in his heart. When he had just escaped from Wano Country, he would see his dead companions and Kaido's face as soon as he closed his eyes.

Although he kept telling himself that he could take revenge on Kaido after finding more powerful corpses and forming an invincible undead army.

But the reason why he had this idea was that he had begun to fear Kaido deep in his heart. It was because he lacked confidence in his own strength that he wanted to seek help from external forces.

For three years, he did not exercise his body but instead became decadent and focused all his energy on finding a strong corpse.

Even if he denied it verbally, the fact that he took a slight step back after seeing Zeraora was proof enough.

In other words, he was not simply afraid, but was unable to face the reality, so he hypnotized himself and began futile efforts such as searching for Oz's body.

Because of his complicated emotions towards Kaido, Moriah knows all the members of the Beasts Pirates very well, and he knows any pirate from the Beasts Pirates who has a bounty.

"Kaido's subordinates?!"

The sight of Zeraora in front of him made his expression a little distorted, and he didn't know whether it was anger or fear. His hands holding the scissors were shaking at this moment.

"You are....Moonlight Moriah."

Moria almost disappeared after his defeat. It took him a while to recall this person.

"Uncle, be careful, this guy is not easy to deal with."

Even if Kaido was not particularly serious at the beginning, Moriah was someone who could fight with the normal Kaido for a period of time, so Zeraora was very vigilant.

"Is it difficult to deal with?"

"Um..."

Hearing this, Hatch took out a moon stone, and in order not to be a drag, he directly entered the Moon Lion state.

"Shadow Horn Gun!"

Looking at the two people in front of him, the shadow under Moria's feet squirmed, then turned into a gun blade and stabbed at Zeraora, but was pinched in his domineering palm.

At the same time, there was a hint of confusion on his face. If he had only this kind of strength, it would be impossible for him to fight Kaido for so long.

Seeing that his attack was blocked like this, Moria's face turned a little ugly.

Moriah's subsequent actions also surprised Zeraora. His shadow turned into a sky full of bats, blocking their view. When the bats disappeared, Moriah himself was no longer there.

His courage was not completely wiped out. Several years later, when he heard the news about Absalom, he still dared to enter Blackbeard's territory directly, and was not afraid of Blackbeard's many cadres.

That was the protection in his heart for his true partners, but it was different now. He had no partners around him, only dead zombies. Reason told him that it was not wise to fight with Kaido's cadres at this time.

Since Hatch can enter the Moon Lion state, it means that Zeraora can do it too, and the brief fight has already made it clear that he may not be able to defeat the opponent.

He didn't know why Zeraora was here. If there were other members of the Beasts Pirates around...

After considering the gains and losses of the battle, he finally chose to leave.

It's just that he was actually worrying too much. In his heart, he always regarded Kaido as a big enemy, but Kaido had long forgotten about him. For Kaido, losers are not worth remembering.

Rocks, Roger, Whitebeard, Kozuki Oden, these are the only few pirates worth remembering.

......

"This...is this the end?"

Looking at Moria who suddenly disappeared, Hatch was confused. He didn't understand why this big guy appeared and then disappeared directly.

And when Moria disappeared, the zombies around him fell down one after another, and the shadows in their bodies were directly sucked away by Moria.

"Uncle, let's go and meet up with Setsuna and the others first."

Zeraora's Observation Haki could still capture Moria's location, but he did not choose to pursue him. Moria's ability was too strange. He was worried that Moria would come back and cause harm to others, so he chose to leave here with Hatch.

"By the way, uncle, why did you leave so suddenly?"

"Because of a ghost."

"ghost?"

"Just like the thing next to you." Hatch pointed to the side. A white ghost was floating there. When it saw that Hatch had discovered it, it not only did not run away, but also went straight through Hatch's chest.

"I'm not a proud wolf, I'm just a dog, wasting the air in this world..."

Looking at Hatch who suddenly became listless, Zeraora felt that the ghost was amazing. Through Setsuna's description and a period of contact, he understood that Hatch was a particularly conceited person. Hearing such words from his mouth was no less than the joke of the century.

But he was only negative for a few seconds and soon stood up again.
