Pirate: My shadow can hang up

Gradually, the sound of water became quieter, and Maginot washed the towel again.

While washing and returning them, he asked: "Are you hungry just now? I still have the pancakes I brought in the morning, but they are already dried. Do you want to eat them?"

Moriah shook his head and said that he was not hungry, but his throat was dry and he was not hungry.

but.

When he shook his head, Maginot noticed the clue: "Why did the headscarf fall off? You did it yourself..."

Maginot put down the towel in his hand and walked over. Moriah shook his head quickly.

"You didn't turn around to peek, did you?" Maginot suddenly asked seriously.

Moria instinctively wanted to nod, but after realizing it, he quickly shook his head.

"That's good." Maginot felt relieved.

Next, Moriah had to carry the bucket to pour the bath water.

Moriah almost wanted to give up. Hey, women are so difficult to take care of.

Silent all night.

It was early morning when I woke up again.

Maginot woke up early in the morning and found that nothing was missing. Nothing unspeakable happened last night, so she trusted Moria even more.

Women always love beauty, even Maginot does. She was still unsatisfied after looking at the mirror on the right side of the door for half an hour.

I don't know how long she looked in the mirror, but Maginot looked behind her and her expression became a little unnatural.

Maginot followed the store owner to pick up the horse. Suddenly she remembered that she had forgotten this horse after a tiring day yesterday, and she couldn't help but regret it.

"Boss, I want to buy some fodder to fill my horse's stomach."

Hearing Maginot's words, the hotel owner instinctively said: "No, look at his belly, he can't eat anymore. Your man has already said hello in advance."

"He's not, don't talk nonsense!" Maginot suddenly remembered something and asked: "What? He is mute, how can he greet you?"

"Haha! Did I say that? You must have heard wrong!"

The hotel owner realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he didn't say anything more and quickly found a reason to leave.

Maginot also murmured in her heart, feeling that something was wrong.

Early the next morning, Maginot came to the place where the wine was sold. He was obviously an old customer, and the other party also treated him warmly.

Moria carried barrel after barrel, attracting the surrounding porters and even some wine buyers to come and watch.

"Who is this?" He seemed to be an acquaintance in the industry of Maginot Land and asked him: "Do you mean...? Look at this, you are very lucky."

"No, no, it's as you think. He's just the new guy in the store." Maginot instantly turned red, feeling a little ashamed.

"In that case, can I pay him to help carry the drinks? If it's him, I think it can save a lot of time."

Someone in the crowd suddenly asked.

"This... I don't care if I say it, you can ask him." Maginot was a little embarrassed and said this suddenly.

Afterwards I thought about it, and it seemed like asking was in vain.

"Hey, you said no, so you can't bear to part with it." When everyone heard this, they immediately understood it wrong.

Maginot was really unable to argue, so she just let them say whatever they wanted.

After carrying the goods, Moria left with Maginot. Naturally, he would not carry things for these guys. He was not even qualified to carry his shoes, so how could he bother to do it.

Windmill Village.

After traveling all the way through mountains and rivers, the car full of drinks finally stopped at the door of a house.

Taking this opportunity, Moria also took a good look at the place where this dream began.

Along the way, the villagers of Windmill Village also greeted Maginot, and each one of them was full of curiosity about Moria.

Maginot used the previous excuse to deal with it.

At this time, on the outskirts of the village, a young man with black hair ran down the mountain, looking very lively.

On the other side, Maginot led Moria into the cellar inside the tavern. There were many wooden folders used to store drinks.

Moriah moved all the drinks in with three moves, until it was over. Maginot was holding a towel in her hand and wanted to say something, but her movements were a little stiff.

She originally wanted to help him wipe his sweat, but she thought it was inappropriate and too ambiguous, so she said: "Well... you can wipe your sweat yourself. There is a towel here."

As he spoke, he planned to send it to Moriah, but he was too distracted to pay attention to his steps and stepped on an empty oval oak barrel.

Suddenly, her body leaned forward and her whole body rushed forward.

Moriah's quick hands and quick eyes dragged her directly as if she was teleporting.

"Be careful…"

Maginot instinctively replied with a thank you.

Ok?

just…

Did he speak?

"You... spoke?" Maginot looked incredulous.

Moria denied it flatly: "I didn't, you heard wrong."

"No, I just heard you say "be careful"." Maginot's eyes suddenly widened: "You, you, you said it again!!!"

Moria was speechless for a moment.

Now we have to change our strategy!

"Why did you pretend to be mute? Why did you lie to me? Who are you?" Maginot asked three times in a row, and tried to break away from Moria's arm.

Moriah looked innocent and spread his hands: "Have I ever said that I am mute? It's just a label you gave me."

"Then who are you and what is your purpose?"

Hearing Maginot ask this, Moriah also smiled, but he did not explain, but lowered his head in astonishment.

"Hmm!!?"

Maginot was shocked, and pushed Moriah's chest hard with both hands, but it felt like a huge stone that was difficult to shake.

Maginot's eyes were not confused, but filled with astonishment.

After a long time, as the crystalline thread stretched, Moriah raised his head and said, "This is my answer."

"What answer!?" Maginot's mind was at a loss and she didn't know what question to think about.

"You probably still don't understand. Let me answer you again."

"Uh-huh-!"

This time it was longer than last time, and Moriah felt that the body of the person in his arms had become softer.

"Huhuhu!" After taking a long breath, Maginot almost suffocated.

"Do you know?" Moria lowered his head and asked.

This move frightened Maginot to death. Although he really didn't know what it was, he said he knew it.

"Hmm???"

"It's good to know."

What do you know, me?

"Hiss—why are you still biting?"

"You...who asked you to stick out your tongue..." Maginot almost cried in anger.

Maginot was talking to break away from Moriah. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Maginot, are you back?"

Hearing the sound, Maginot stopped for a moment and murmured: "It's Luffy..."

Moria said in his ear: "You don't want to be discovered by children in your current state, right?"

Hearing this, Maginot immediately put down all resistance, and Moria felt that the progress was extremely smooth.

I don’t know how long it took, but Maginot suddenly held Moriah’s hand and said pitifully: “Please, don’t do this. If you are willing to marry me, I will not refuse. If you just want to have fun, I don’t want to be responsible. If scandals like this spread out in the future, I will make the villagers look down on me!”

this moment.

Moria stared into Maginot's aggrieved eyes, and instantly all evil thoughts and blasphemous thoughts disappeared.

The future is the future, at least now she is innocent.

"Sorry." Moriah put her down and wiped away her tears, feeling a little guilty.

It's like building a house, only pouring the roof is done.

"I won't force you to do anything anymore." Moria's tone was much gentler: "And remember my name, Moonlight Moria. If you have any trouble, remember to come to me. I owe it to you."

Because I wanted to cause trouble for someone, I almost erased this kindness. Of course, this kindness did not refer to Moria.

Moriah did not leave directly, but waited for Maginot to tidy up her clothes before accompanying her out.

Outside, young Luffy was sitting at the seat in front of the bar, playing with an empty wine glass in his hand.

Seeing Maginot come out of it, he immediately said happily: "Mackino, you are back. Did you bring me something delicious to eat when you went to the city this time? I will use my future financial report to pay the bill..."

"what?"

"who are you?"

Suddenly, Luffy spotted the somewhat unfamiliar Moriah, and his eyes were filled with doubts.

Moria stared at the original pig's feet, which was less than ten years old, and smiled: "Call uncle, and I'll treat you to some meat."

Luffy turned his head and pursed his lips: "I won't scream!"

"Luffy, have you eaten?" Maginot asked in a gentle tone.

Luffy nodded first, then remembered something, then shook his head.

Maginot felt angry and funny, and said, "Just wait a moment, I'll do it for you right now."

"Okay!" Luffy lit the bar with a knife and fork, dancing happily: "Meat! I want to eat meat!"

"Okay! Okay! I understand." Magino looked at Luffy as if he were her own child.

Just when Maginot was about to turn around, Luffy suddenly said: "Magino, why are your eyes red? Did he bully you?"

Luffy said as he jumped out of his seat, stared at Maginot for a while, and then looked at Moriah.

Then he promised Maginot: "If someone bullies Maginot, just tell me and I will beat him away with my fist pistol!"

Moriah thought to himself: Doesn't he look as stupid as he did later? Could it be that he was beaten stupid by his grandfather when he was a child?

"No, no." Maginot shook his head quickly: "It's just sand in his eyes."

It wasn't that she was afraid that Moria would be beaten, but Maginot was afraid that Luffy would be the one who got beaten.

"I only have so much money on me. I'll give it all to you so that I can repay the favor of rescuing me." Moria handed over all the cash, then suddenly thought of something and put a bag of things on the counter: "This is A gift for you.”

"I can't take it, take it back!" Maginot shook his head and didn't take it away.

"You should think about it again." Moria stared into Maginot's eyes, full of meaning that could not be refused.

Maginot immediately recalled the scene where he got into an argument over a disagreement, and now that Luffy was still there, when the other person got angry, he got angry and started to get in front of everyone. It had been so embarrassing for so long.

So she didn't refuse and temporarily collected the money.

Maginot had just put away the money. When she looked up, she and Luffy were the only ones left in the tavern.

It was so quiet, and the bag on the bar proved that someone had been there.

Maginot opened the tied leather bag, and the golden light shone in a dazzling light.

It was a bag of gold coins, and the number was huge, hundreds of them.

If it were replaced by Berry, it could reach tens of millions.

It is okay for the family to have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Maginot suddenly picked up the gold coin and ran towards the door. He saw that the road was empty and there was no such figure at all.

She was not willing to accept such a valuable thing.

Although Maginot still doesn't know the identity of the other party, he can roughly guess that he is either rich or noble, and he is also very powerful.

Maginot shook his head. Maybe she was really meddling in his own business. With the other party's financial resources and strength, he didn't need her help at all.

"Mackino, I'm hungry!"

"Okay! Okay! Luffy, I'm going to make your favorite big bone meat right now."

"Great!"

"..."

Moria stared at the palm of his hand for a while, then put it on the end of his nose. Suddenly he realized something, and the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched slightly.

cough cough.

This is not cheap for the red-haired boy.

Now that the chance to get close to the other party is gone, he can only find another way.

After returning the same way and wandering around Goa King City for a few times, I almost understood it.

The city is surrounded by Mount Colpo, and the only gap is the sea. The same place is also the largest port in the Goa Kingdom. Windmill Village is located on the southeast coast of the kingdom, separated by Mount Colpo and the garbage station.

When Moria was exploring the city, he also discovered some guys lurking in the shadows, seemingly preparing to do something.

Back on the ship, Moria asked about the people who helped a lot yesterday, but was told that they had not returned home all night, and they could only talk about rewards after they came back.

Now his time is also fully arranged, and he wants to take his daughter out shopping.

But on the other hand, after Luffy walked out of Maginot's tavern, not only did he have a big bone stuffed in his mouth, but he also had several bags hanging in his hands, which were filled with food made by Maginot. Of course he had made so much It’s not for one person.

But they saw Luffy staggering towards Mount Kolpo, humming a tuneless song as he walked.

"I secretly ate one of Sabo's, and I have to eat one of Ace's, otherwise they will find out." Luffy stuffed his mouth and said as he walked.

The other two bags of food that Luffy took were prepared by Maginot for Ace and Sabo, but how could Luffy, a foodie, resist such temptation.

There is a wooden house on Mount Corpo, which is the residence of the Dadan family.

Apart from a group of bandits, there are still three teenagers living here. Ace was first sent here by Garp, followed by Luffy, and finally the two brothers brought back Sabo from outside.

Luffy slowly came to the cabin and was about to spit out the bones and wipe his mouth to destroy the evidence. But don't want to.

At this moment, the wooden door was pushed open and two figures walked out.

"Luffy, where did you go? Get ready, we are going to collect materials." Seeing Luffy coming back, Ace asked, and suddenly saw the bag in Luffy's hand: " What’s that in your hand?”

"This, this, this is the meat that Maginot asked me to bring you. I definitely didn't eat it secretly." Luffy said, passing the bag in his hand, then pretending to be calm, whistling, and avoiding his eyes.

Having been with Luffy for so long, how could Ace and Sabo not know what Luffy was like.

"Luffy, tell the truth, how many of them did you eat?" Sabo walked over, rubbing his hands.

"I didn't eat." Luffy said harshly.

"Hey! Hey! Sabo, Ace, what are you going to do?"

After half a ring.

Luffy, who was tied to the tree stump, begged the two people in front of him: "Hey, Ace, Sabo, leave some for me."

However, no matter what he said, no one cared about him.

Even the soup was drunk.

After eating and wiping the food, Luffy was let go. Ace said, "Let's go and collect materials."

"I'm not going." Luffy turned his head to show that he was angry.

Sabo suddenly said: "Maybe we can pick up the telescope that no one wants."

As soon as he heard about the telescope, Luffy immediately lost his temper and asked quickly: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. I saw it there last time, but I didn't know you wanted it, Luffy, so you didn't pick it up." Sabo said nonsense seriously.

result.

Luffy really believed it, and his fighting spirit instantly came to him. He stood up and ran to the front: "Let's go!"

On the other side, Moria was fishing for goldfish with Moria. For a long time, Perona was fishing there, but she didn't catch any.

Moriah knelt down and looked at the large and small water basins in front of him, which contained colorful goldfish.

Yawning, Moriah secretly complained that he was so addicted to talent that the old man selling goldfish almost smiled crookedly.

"Tap Tap!"

A burst of rapid footsteps came from far away.

Although there were only footsteps, no one was seen.

The footsteps got closer and closer, until they finally stopped completely.

"Lord Moria, the people you are looking for are back, but the situation is very bad." Absalom's voice sounded in Moria's ears.

"What's going on?" Moria couldn't help but said seriously after hearing this.

"They had a conflict with a noble in the city this morning. In the end, two people broke out of the siege. One was captured and the other disappeared."

Absalom saw that Moriah's face was not very good, so he added:

"This incident happened suddenly. The other party opened fire without knowing the situation. Moreover, there were more and more people on the other side, and they couldn't cope with it. They just thought of breaking out of the encirclement and bringing in reinforcements. They were not afraid of death."

"That's not what I care about. Who is the other person?" Moria looked gloomy.

"He is a high-ranking nobleman in this city and has some relationship with the king."

Before Absalom finished speaking, Moria asked again: "What's the reason?"

"It seems to be because of a woman..." Absalom continued: "That's all I know."

Moria nodded, handed the thing he was carrying to Absalom, and then said: "You stay here with Perona first, and leave the matter to me."

Here, as soon as Moria left, Perona fished up the goldfish, as if a pair of invisible hands were holding a fishing net that could be broken by blowing.

It doesn’t look like it, it just has hands.

Perona was about to show off her victory to Moria, but when she turned her head, she was instantly confused.

What about people?

In a room aboard the three-person sailboat of Terror, Hogback had just finished operating on several people, removing the bullet casings from their bodies and restoring their wounds.

Moriah had already pushed open the door and entered. One of the two people lying on the bed had fallen into a coma, and the other was still awake.

Seeing Moria arriving, he quickly wanted to sit up: "Governor!"

Moria pressed it back again: "Lie down and just answer my questions."

"Lord Moria." Huogubak let out a unique laugh: "I have treated the wounds of these two people. They are not serious. It is estimated that they will be fine after lying down for three or four days."

"Yeah, thank you for your hard work." Moria nodded.

"Then, if nothing happens, I'll go down first."

"You go down first!"

After receiving Moria's answer, Hogback walked away with brisk steps, probably looking for his Sindori-chan.

"Tell me everything." Moria found a place to sit down and listened to the man talking about the cause and effect of the matter.

"Is such that……"

As time passed, Moria also learned the cause of the matter.

The reason was that the four of them planned to find a place to ride their horses and whip together yesterday. As a result, one of them was attracted by a good family for some reason.

It's not quite accurate to call it a good family, because this woman is the lover of a nobleman.

This woman originally imagined that a nobleman could marry her and live a life of the upper class, but accidentally, she heard the nobleman's conversation and disliked her identity because they met because of a one-time transaction.

The reason why he said he would marry her was just to coax her. After all, no commoner had any reason to marry a prostitute, let alone a noble.

Although she knew this was the case, the woman hated that nobleman so much that on a dark and windy night, she mistook the ten drunken pirates as refugees or beggars.

He selected one of them who was more outstanding in appearance and figure, and wanted to negotiate a project worth hundreds of millions with him in order to take revenge on the noble.

Naturally, a person would not refuse such a good thing. After ruling out infectious diseases, he would naturally enjoy the night with firewood.

result.

The nobleman was also very capable and had many eyes and ears. He was caught the next day when the distance between the two was still negative.

Up until this moment, someone didn't even know what was going on until they heard the gunfire...

Then there was no after, it was now...

"Bru buru buru!"

The phone in Moriah's arms rang. When he took it out, he saw it was Lafitte calling.

"Captain, the man has been rescued. The situation is not optimistic."

Lafitte's voice came from the other end of the phone.

It turned out that after receiving the news and that Moriah was not on the ship, Lafitte, who knew the emergency was coming, immediately led people to the rescue.

"Both of them were seriously injured. The missing guy was also caught during the manhunt ordered by the king. He was beaten and is still in a coma."

"Where are you now?" Moria asked.

"The residence of Felix III..."

In the palace of King Goa.

The king with an old face sat on a chair and closed his eyes to rest. After a while, he opened his eyes and asked casually: "The time should be up soon, right?"

The old butler on the side said quickly: "Your Majesty, there is still half an hour, the gallows should be set up now."

"Yeah." King Goa responded, and then seemed to mutter to himself:

"Okay, let's take this opportunity to tell those untouchables and low-class people that the authority of the royal family and nobles cannot be challenged. Anyone who contradicts the nobles and low-class people will end up like this."

"Yes, yes, those two low-class people dare to offend Archduke Flix. They are simply looking for death..."

On the other side, Moria has arrived at the mansion of Felix III. The mansion does not look strange at the moment. After entering, he finds that the people inside are lying on the ground in a mess, and the key figures are also under control.

Moria also went to see the wounded immediately. One was badly beaten and his skin was badly bruised. The other was not seriously injured, but his crime tools were confiscated.

"Governor..." The latter was still awake. When he saw Moria arriving, he begged: "Let me die. Rather than living such an incompetent life, it would be better to die happily. I don't want to smear the pirates! "

Moria looked at this person. Although there were so many people in the pirate group, he couldn't name him for a while, but he knew that this person was the guy with excellent eyesight.

You can understand Moria's meaning with just one look.

Moria pushed him back and comforted him: "Don't worry, we have the best doctors in the world on the ship. They can cure it no matter what it is. Leave this matter to me."

Under Moria's comfort, the mood slowly stabilized, and then the two were taken back and handed over to Hogback and Luo for joint treatment.

"Who are you? Do you know who I am?" Seeing the leader of this group of people coming back, Flix III asked loudly.

"Oh? Who are you?" Moria suddenly smiled, and his smile was a little oozing, and he asked knowingly: "Let me guess, you are the Five Old Stars?"

"Five...five old stars? No...no!"

"Then you are the world's noble Celestial Dragon?"

"No, no, no...nor."

"..."

Felix III couldn't help but feel ashamed, how could he, a noble from a small border country, be compared to such a being.

"Snapped!"

Moria slapped Flix III to death with a restrained slap, causing the sky to darken and the earth to darken.

"Then you still ask me who you are? Are you worthy?"

After a long time, Felix III, who was almost beaten to death by Moriah's slap, breathed a sigh of relief, covering his swollen face and thinking in his mind.

Who is this person? After listening to these words, it seems that the Tianlong people don’t ask, and even His Majesty the King doesn’t take him seriously?

Beside Felix III, his wife and family servants were all kneeling on the ground, not daring to breathe.

Just when Moriah was thinking about how to deal with this extremely close relative in front of him, a voice suddenly came from outside:

"Sir, the two gallows on the square have been set up. I have already informed the residents of the city and are now waiting to deal with those two... Huh!!?"

The middle-aged man dressed as a butler suddenly widened his eyes as he spoke.

Moria waved his hand, and Karib Kribb knocked him to the ground with a shovel.

"Hanging!?" When Moria heard these two words, he smiled, seriously digging his own grave.

In a small warehouse in the Kingdom of Goa, two teams of people were sitting on a table. The leader of one team looked like a noble, and the other team looked like pirates.

"Here is the deposit. I will ask for the other half to make up for it when the matter is completed." The middle-aged man dressed as an aristocrat put the money on the table: "I hope you can bring my son Sabo back safely!"

This middle-aged man is none other than Sabo's father, Altluk III.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that one of the three bad guys was a noble. It's really puzzling that the good nobles didn't do anything, but went to pick up garbage and grab things."

The pirate leader laughed, showing his jagged teeth.

He racked his brains and tried his best to live in the aristocratic area, but now there was a guy leaving a good nobleman to pick up rags, which really made him feel a little funny.

The leader's name is Blujem, and he is a famous pirate in this area, but his pirate group has a name that has nothing to do with it.

Sapphire Pirates.

When Blujem laughed, spitting stars flew everywhere, and some even landed on the face of Altluk III.

Alteruk III wiped his face with a handkerchief, a look of disgust on his face.

He would not spend money to hire cheap pirates unless he had to.

"This matter must be kept secret, and no other people should know about it." Altluk III reminded him.

"Understood, sir." Blujem nodded repeatedly, then thought of something, and asked: "What about the other two bad kids?

Altluk III stood up and walked towards the door, but his voice was passed over: "Those two guys must be greedy for our family's property. It's up to you to deal with them as you wish. It's best to deal with them."

"I understand, Master, please walk slowly..."

Meanwhile, the palace of King Goa.

The old king was looking at the man in front of him dressed like a magician in astonishment. He didn't even know when he appeared.

"Hello, Serene II, I would like to say hello to you on behalf of our captain!"

The man suddenly hung the cane on his left arm, took off his hat with his right hand, and bowed politely, very gentlemanly.

King Serene recovered from the shock and shouted outside the room: "Here comes the housekeeper! Guard!!"

However, no matter how much he called, there was still no response at all.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that the guards outside your room have been hypnotized by me. No matter how you shout, they can't hear you."

Lafitte spoke slowly and slowly, which made people feel strange.

Serene II couldn't help but feel a little scared. He bravely asked: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is our captain."

"Your captain? Who is he?"

Following Lafitte's words, Sereny II then asked.

"Moonlight Moria." Lafitte said with strange steps, "This name should be familiar to you, right?"

Every time the Lafitte leather shoes stepped on the ground, Serene II felt panicked and inexplicably nervous.

"Moonlight Moria!?" Serene II was nervous and did not think of it immediately.

"Moonlight Moria, is the Shichibukai!?"

After thinking for a long time, he remembered the name. After all, the Kingdom of Goa was one of the participating countries of the World Government, and he happened to be present at the meeting about the implementation of the Shichibukai system.

"Bingo, you got it right!" Lafitte said with a smile.

"I wonder what happened to Mr. Shichibukai?" Upon hearing that it was Shichibukai, Serene II not only became less nervous, but also felt relieved.

After all, the Shichibukai were granted by the World Government and were nominally under its jurisdiction. In this way, they were still considered allies.

however.

Lafitte's next casual words frightened the old king until he turned eighteen:

"Our captain encountered some bad things when he came here, and the consequences were quite serious, so now we are considering whether to completely wipe this place that caused him trouble off the map."
