Arceus' Pirate Journey

"Yeah, if we really want to blame someone, then that guy Orochi is the culprit."

......

Drake, who ended his career of pretending to be sick, started his banquet again. Although he was still on his way back, the World Government was still discussing the issue. In the Terror Triangle, Luffy and his crew also encountered the strongest enemy so far.

They were trapped on the Sky Island and wasted a lot of time. After leaving, they participated in an adventure event organized by pirates and obtained a treasure.

When they arrived at the Water Seven City, they ran into Franky who was planning to build a boat to find Tom.

It has always been Franky's dream to build a dream boat, but he has no money, so he can't afford good materials.

At this time, he met the Straw Hat Pirates who had money but were unable to repair the Merry. Moved by their feelings for the ship, he cooperated with them to build the current Sunshine.

His goal was to find Tom. As for the other members of the Franky family, with the help of the business card given by Tom, they started their new jobs in a dismantling factory under the Beast Fruit Company.

Because their shadows were taken away, they had to fight Moriah. Thanks to the appearance of Von Clay, they even successfully completed the "Pirate No. 6 Fusion - Giant-Emperor", but it was of no use.

In the East China Sea, they saw how powerful the world was. After being wiped out by Batman, the Straw Hat Pirates began to think about life. They also developed new moves, but they were not very skilled. Although they had the advantage in numbers, they did not achieve much success against Moria.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Moria was also a ruthless man back then, but it was a pity that he met someone even more ruthless.

Years of life as a fat house have ruined his physical skills, and his closed heart has lost its original domineering power. Moriah was already gradually at a disadvantage, but because of Luffy's words, he fell directly into a furious state.

“Down with Kaido? How dare you… How dare you say such things! What right do you have to do such a thing! How dare you, a weakling like you, have such courage!

"

Moriah walked out of the zombies made by Oz, holding a pair of large scissors and entering a state of near madness because of a name.

The word Kaido was almost his lifelong nightmare. His companions, his dreams, and everything he had were destroyed in that battle. After that, he hid in the fog and began to plan his zombie army.

Seeing this group of weaklings threatening to defeat the monster, Moria felt as if his heart had been struck hard. This was simply telling him in person that he was a waste.

"80 million berries, a pirate with only 80 million berries, what makes you think you can challenge Kaido!

"

Luffy's record is far from being as glorious as in the past, and it is very rare to be able to get this price. Although he is strong now, he is not a supernova at all. By the way, the bounty for Hercule is 10,000 Beli.

Ever since the emergence of the special existence Arceus, the Navy began to increase the bounty on some non-human creatures, and Hercule also avoided the fate of being less valuable than a newspaper.

The two words "Kaido" seemed to turn on a hidden switch in Moriah's body, causing him to burst out with combat power far beyond his usual level.

"What the hell is wrong with this guy?!"

Luffy doesn't understand what makes Moria so powerful.

"I remember now. I heard that he once challenged Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, but because of his failure, all his companions were killed!"

Laura seemed to remember some information and answered the doubts of everyone present, but this had no practical significance...

Chapter 946: The Power of Connections

Today, the connection between the BIG MOM Pirates and the Beasts Pirates is even closer. When Charlotte Linlin is free on weekdays, she also talks about the past with her children.

As they were both called the Emperor of the Sea, there were certain topics that could not be avoided, so Lola occasionally heard Charlotte Lingling talk about those things.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are also well-known pirates on the ocean. Even if some of them are now decadent, they also had their own glory.

At that time, Charlotte Linlin talked about some things in the past of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Hawkeye, who aims at the navy and is known as the navy hunter, and the Pirate Empress who became famous in one battle, these are the ones with better-sounding titles among the Seven Warlords of the Sea. There are also some who have proved their strength indirectly through their defeats.

For example, Moria, who lost to Kaido, although all his companions were killed, he himself was still alive. This is an extremely rare case among the pirates who invaded Kaido's base.

But when this matter was mentioned, Lola remembered that Charlotte Linling was gritting her teeth, because many pastry chefs could not resist the temptation of Frosty Milk Fairy and actually ran away from her territory to Kaido.

"Kill...kill all your companions?"

"I don't know the details, but he once fought with Kaido and became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea because of this. Kaido might be his pain..."

Lola hid behind a pillar and told Luffy what she knew.

"Is Kaido such a violent person? His subordinates seem quite kind..."

During the time on Sky Island, the Bat People didn't make things difficult for them. After all, Rhinoceros Beetles had their dignity, and the Bat People thought that these guys might be their colleagues in the future, so they didn't do anything else except asking them to work.

"Kind? He's the Four Emperors of the New World, the most violent pirate in the world! How can you think that guy is kind?"

The current Four Emperors can be divided into two categories. The three men are decent to the people in the territory, but to the outside world, whether it is Whitebeard or Red Hair, they both leave a notorious reputation for being vicious.

As for Charlotte Lingling, her mental state is the main concern. When her mental state is abnormal, she poses a greater threat to the territory, and even her own son cannot stop her.

Lola didn't even know where to start condemning Luffy for his judgment.

"Kaido? I haven't heard of this person, but I have heard of the name Charlotte Linlin. It seems that she is a little girl with great destructive power."

A skeleton was also thinking about this sentence, but his logic was more special.

This skeleton is none other than Brook, who is also trapped in the Thriller Bark because his shadow was taken away.

A swordsman and musician of the Rumbar Pirates. When the Rumbar Pirates sailed to the Devil's Triangle, they encountered a huge change and were wiped out. Only Brook survived because of the Yomi Nomi.

However, when his soul left the underworld and was about to return to his body, he got lost in the thick fog of the Devil's Triangle for a year. When he found his body, it had turned into a skeleton.

Compared with others, Brook is old enough and has enough experience. To him, Roger is a newcomer and Charlotte Linlin has not made a big name for herself. As for Kaido, he was still a soldier of the Kingdom Army at that time and had never been to sea.

boom!

A huge rock hit us, interrupting this untimely conversation.

"Enough of the small talk! You don't know anything at all. You know nothing at all. It's because you are alive that you lose! Shadow Gathering Place - Shadow Emperor!"

The shadows on the island gathered into Moria's body at his summons, and Moria's body continued to expand, gradually turning into an exaggerated giant.

"You may be strong, but in order to protect my companions, I have sworn that I will not be defeated again!"

This was the oath he made when he left Sky Island in order to protect his companions, but fulfilling this oath was an extremely difficult task.

"The fact that you can say such things shows that you are inexperienced! You have never experienced the cruelty of the new world, so you don't understand the horror of this world at all!"

Ridiculous, this was the only thought in Moriah's mind. Looking at this energetic newcomer, the anger in Moriah's heart began to swell. He didn't know why, but looking at this hopeful face, he seemed to have lost something.

The furious Moriah launched a fierce attack on Luffy and his crew. Compared to the Moriah of the past, the current Moriah has lost his sharpest claws, but the Shadow-Shadow Fruit and his gigantic body still made Luffy and his crew suffer.

Although they are still getting stronger, they lack the death battles compared to the original timeline.

Zoro, Sanji and others fought against Crocodile's cadres in Alabasta, but Luffy did not. Batman replaced Enelu and also made Luffy know what a tough guy is, but he lost the life-and-death battle with CP9.

Even though he also developed the second and third gears, he was still a little worse than in the original timeline.

Moria's hidden switch was triggered because of the word Kaido, and he burst out with even higher fighting power in rage.

Luffy's physical strength was constantly being consumed, and in repeated collisions, he gradually reached his limit.

"It looks like your oath is about to be broken!"

Moria's condition was not very good either. If it were him more than 20 years ago, he would never lose to these people in front of him, but now, maintaining the shadow emperor was a huge drain on him, and his willpower was being tortured all the time.

Luffy was fine, but his companions had a hard time dealing with Moria's indiscriminate attacks in anger.

"Feel the pain of loss!"

Seizing the opportunity, when Moria was about to attack other members of the Straw Hat Pirates, something strange happened and the entire island was suddenly covered by an unknown attack.

Looking from above, a bear paw-shaped mark suddenly appeared on the island. Moriah, Luffy, and the people around them all lost consciousness in this attack.

The moment Moria lost consciousness, countless shadows began to return to their original bodies, and his body shape began to return to normal. Then he was taken to another place in an almost teleporting manner.

......

"Bartholomew Bear! What do you mean!"

Moria woke up quickly, and after waking up he didn't feel any hurt at all. Looking at the person in front of him, he also understood what had happened just now.

"Even if you kill those guys, you won't win. You'll still lose. It's meaningless. Your body can't withstand his next attack."

A huge red bubble bear paw floated in the sky. That was the pain Moriah had endured. After the bear took a part of it and sent it back into Moriah's body, he finally understood what the bear meant.

"What on earth are you trying to do here?"

Chapter 947: Moria's Request, the Mysterious Shadow

In the original timeline, the Straw Hats defeated Crocodile first, invaded the Judicial Island, and survived the Demon Slayer Order, which attracted great attention from the World Government. From the moment he entered Moriah's territory, Bear had his own mission.

If Moriah is defeated, everyone must be wiped out together. The Shichibukai cannot be defeated consecutively by the same person. If that happens, the status of the Shichibukai and the face of the World Government will be completely lost.

But now it is different. The Straw Hat Pirates are just an ordinary pirate group and would not have attracted much attention from the World Government. Bear did not come here to kill Moria, but to convey some special orders on behalf of the World Government.

After Ace of the Fire Fist was arrested, they finally made the decision to execute him. The reason given to the outside world was that Roger's sinful bloodline needed to be ended, but in fact, their real purpose was to question the order of the new world.

Red Hair secretly contacted Whitebeard and Kaido, and no one knew what they were doing. Faced with the ever-expanding New World, they needed to curb this trend.

Their plan was to target Ace, put an end to Whitebeard, and raise the reputation of the Navy.

To this end, the Navy is secretly drawing troops from all over the world and summoning the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

But not all of the Seven Warlords of the Sea are obedient. Due to his own special characteristics, Kuma obeys the orders of the World Government. His order is to convey this order to Moria and bring him over.

"What does my fighting have to do with you?! What does killing them have to do with you!"

"Whether I come or not, I will lose to the Straw Hat Boy in the end. The ending will be the same."

"It's different. That naive boy, how could such a naive guy still have his own companions! The pain of loss is what he should experience..."

Before Moria finished speaking, the bear had already placed its palm on his forehead, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"I am here to convey to you the World Government's orders regarding their future operational plans..."

"Is the target Whitebeard..."

“As for what’s happening outside, let the news of your defeat spread.

If I don't come, things will continue in this direction, and you'd better keep your mouth shut about what I do."

"Bear, you bastard!"

"My time is running out. You should have heard something about it. The decision is yours, but you have to understand that you are no match for me."

Xiong's tone didn't fluctuate at all, like a heartless robot.

According to the bear's agreement, there was not much time left for him to be transformed into a mindless pacifist, which was equivalent to a special death for him, and he didn't mind doing something in this last time.

After all, Luffy is Dragon's son. If it weren't for this, Kuma would never have interfered with these people. He stopped Moria from hurting Luffy's friends because of this.

"There is a record pointer on the ship. You can go where you need to go. I still have to deal with some things related to the Straw Hats."

"and many more."

"Ok?"

"I promise you, but I still have my companions on the ship. I don't know what happened to Hogback, but Absalom must still be alive. Bring them out, and I will agree to your request. Otherwise... don't forget, I am also a Shichibukai!"

"Okay, I agree to your request."

"Deal, I won't tell you anything you do."

It is normal for the Seven Warlords of the Sea to have their own ulterior motives. Moriah is not interested in what Kuma is going to do. As long as he can do what he asks, he doesn't care about anything else.

After calming down, he also realized that what the bear said was right. That blow was his last blow, and after that, he would most likely fail.

After the bear left, Moriah stared at his hands blankly. His former partners reappeared in his memories like a kaleidoscope of memories, and Luffy's innocent smiling face kept reappearing in his mind.

"Protect your friends... Hey, Straw Hat Boy, you will know the pain of the new world..."

After leaving here, Kuma conducted his own assessment of the Straw Hat Pirates. He felt at ease to leave after thinking that although these people were strange, they were all qualified partners. In a sense, the help that Kuma, as a cadre, gave to Luffy was comparable to that of his own father.

......

Luffy and his friends ended the battle inexplicably. Except for Hero and Zoro, no one knew what happened on the island, but they didn't tell anyone about it.

"Speaking of which, what happened? Why did everyone suddenly faint?"

"I don't know. I vaguely seemed to see a dark shadow."

Nami and Usopp were discussing what happened in the end, while Luffy was staring at the life card in his hand at the bow.

When leaving the Triangle of Terror, Lola gave a new Life Card and explained that the Life Card is a card that can feedback the vitality of the owner. If the card starts to burn, it means that the owner is in bad condition.

But now he still doesn't know what caused this incident.

"Hehehe."

"Ah, I'm fine. I believe Ace. He should be fine. Okay, let's not think about it for now. Ace doesn't want me to worry about him because of this."
