Pirate: My shadow can hang up

If it is as said, it is probably the Golden Lion.

Things are a bit tricky. This is one of the few powerful enemies Moria has ever encountered.

After all, the opponent is a single person who controls the Navy Headquarters. Even if he fights against Sengoku and Garp, he can still fight for three days and three nights.

Although he escaped with injuries, his strength should not be too bad.

There wasn't much time to prepare, after saying goodbye to Scarlett and her daughter.

Moria directly took several of the pirate group's top combat forces to the place where the accident occurred on a small ship.

It is said that the incident took place at the junction of the East China Sea and the Grand Route.

The Ark of Proverbs was built with part of the gold from Shantola, the Golden Land, and everyone knew it was a good thing.

The construction site of Proverbs is on Sky Island, because there are many Sky Island shells on it, so raw materials can be collected as quickly as possible.

The Sky Island is located between the East China Sea and the South China Sea, with a windless zone in between. Moria is now located in the New World, quite far away from the Sky Island in the first half of the Grand Route.

It is very difficult to return to the Grand Line from the New World unless sufficient coating materials are collected in advance, and coating ships also takes time.

At this juncture, it is not easy to apply to the World Government, and you have to wait for review and approval to make sure there is no danger before passing.

As for going to the South China Sea via the West China Sea, it is even more time-consuming. It is estimated that both sea areas have to be walked from beginning to end.

The only feasible option is to head to the North Sea, and then take the Vinsmoke family's snail boat directly across the Red Continent to the East China Sea.

Two years ago, the Vinsmoke family went to the East China Sea in this way, and then attacked a kingdom in the East China Sea.

At first, Gaji just succumbed to Moria's power, but after the former got used to Moria's undead zombie army, he felt that he couldn't live without it.

Immortal zombies are much stronger than flesh-and-blood clone troopers.

It can play a key role in every war to destroy a country and a city.

Some time ago, the Moonlight Pirates defeated the Don Quixote family, and now most of the Don Quixote family's properties in the North Sea have been annexed by the guild established by Bowness.

The guild is announced to the public as a killer bounty hunter organization, offering bounties on people as long as they pay money, but what most people don't know is...

At the same time, the guild also rents mercenaries to external parties, and the mercenaries are fully managed by the Vinsmoke family. After all, they are an old mercenary family with some old customers in the network.

After a brief contact with Gaji, the other party naturally agreed to send a snail ship to assist Moria. Originally, he was thinking about when to get rid of Moria's control.

But since he heard some time ago that the Don Quixote family, which dominated the North Sea and even overshadowed the Vinsmoke family, was taken away from them, he immediately became honest.

At least there is nothing wrong with this, at least I can get over the addiction of dominating the North Sea.

Moria was waiting on an island near the red earth continent for the arrival of the snail ship. According to Gaji, it would take a day at the earliest to arrive.

After everyone from the Moonlight Pirates landed on the island, they happened to catch up with the market on the island. For a while, the sound of hawking could be heard all around.

"Golden apples. One bite of a fresh golden apple can add a thousand years to your life."

At a certain stall, the boss was holding a golden apple and shouting vigorously, but only a few people came to visit.

"Guest, would you like a golden apple? It only costs 500 beli."

Seeing Moria and others approaching, the boss immediately stepped forward to greet them.

Moria waved his hand and complained in his heart that only a fool would believe it.

"Eh? Is this... is this... real?" Horsman's eyes gleamed, as if he had discovered some treasure.

Lili also poked her head out of her furry chest, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and stretched at the same time: "Wow, we giants can only live for four hundred years at most, and one bite can give us a thousand more lives." Year, how delicious this fruit must be!"

"You can live a thousand years if you eat one bite. If I become 5 millimeters, wouldn't it mean that if I eat an apple, I will live hundreds of thousands more years?"

Thinking of this, Lili immediately turned into starry eyes, full of expectation.

Moriah put his hand on his forehead. It turned out that the fool was beside me, and there were two of them at once.

"Actually, I dug this thing out of a certain ruins. It's the only one I wouldn't sell to ordinary people!" The apple seller was still there, boasting about how good this thing was.

Horsman suddenly asked: "If it's just this one, how do you know it can live for a thousand years if you eat it?"

"Ah? This...that, oh, that's it. After I got this apple, I also picked up the instructions on it. It said, 'Eating this apple can live for a thousand years.'"

The boss thought about it and thought of an excuse, and then added: "If you don't believe it, I can give you that piece of paper."

I saw the boss rushing into the shop on the roadside. After a while, the boss walked out, stuffing something into his pocket and sending the note over.

Moria also cast a glance and said, "Good guy, the ink hasn't even dried yet. I have to say that this is really a talent."

"It's really true." Horsman took the piece of paper and looked at it with Lili. Sure enough, it had those big words written on it.

Moria sighed, how could there be such fools in the world, and yet two of them came at once, and they believed them without any doubt.

"But it says eat one, not take a bite..." Horsman glanced at Moriah, and quickly took it back: "It's just this one, who should I share it with?"

"If I can only eat it alone, I would rather not eat it. I would live alone for a thousand years, and some people are gone. It must be very painful!"

After finishing his words, Horsman put down the apple, with a trace of melancholy flashing in his eyes.

Moriah complained in his heart, wondering if this guy was missing something in his mind, and suddenly he became profound again.

When the boss saw that the cooked duck was about to fly away, he wished he could slap some big words on himself. Why did he make a typo when his hand was lame at the beginning?

"Actually, I just lied to you when I said I only found one. In fact, I found a basket of golden apples..." How could such an easy-to-deceive fat sheep let her run away like this?

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. If you want it, you only need one hundred thousand berries now. If you buy it with 100,000 berries, you won't suffer a loss. If you buy it with 100,000 berries, you won't be fooled."

When the boss saw that the other party was interested again, he suddenly became more and more enthusiastic.

"Boss, you are such a conscientious businessman!" "Hey, of course, how much do you two want to weigh?"

"Everything is needed..."

“The boss is great! Welcome to visit us next time…”

"Will you still have it next time?"

"Uh... No, no, that's all right!"

I didn’t continue reading. If I continued reading, I would have lost my brain. The stupid virus would spread through the air in a short while.

Moria didn't expose the boss. There was nothing wrong with making money based on his ability. This was much better than someone asking for money with a bowl, and the purchase was not expensive. It was a bit conscience but not much.

After a while, after weighing the apples, Horsman and the two caught up with the group after smelling the smell. The former held the golden apple and handed it to Moriah as if to show off: "Want to eat it?"

Moria ignored her and suddenly patted Er Gouzi's shoulder meaningfully: "I don't know how long you will live after eating this thing, but I know that it will replenish your brain after eating it. You need to eat more to replenish your brain. .”

Isn't that right? Every time you take a bite, you gain wisdom. After eating this fruit, nothing changes. You understand that you have been deceived, and your brain power is +1.

Horsman obviously didn't understand the meaning of Moriya's words, and he groaned, thinking in his heart that this guy is just jealous of my talent.

Ignoring her, Horsman held a fruit and put it in his hand, as if it were some kind of treasure. He ate it reluctantly and occasionally licked it.

Very sweet?

It can make people live for a thousand years, what’s wrong with being sweeter? This makes sense.

but.

When they were about to arrive at the destination tavern, under the scorching sun, the golden apples slowly melted. Part of the original golden skin was lost, and what was inside was just an ordinary apple.

Horsman stared anxiously, while Moria and the others smiled unkindly.

Moria took an apple, looked it up and down, and said Yin Yang: "Hey, you are indeed our dog. He is really discerning. He can tell at a glance that it is made of maltose instead of dye. It is non-toxic and non-toxic." Damn, it’s pretty good…”

"Besides, I'm going to bite someone..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

Horsman wanted to go back, but was stopped by Moriah: "Don't go, I think this thing is very good, don't you become a little smarter now?"

"Still saying, still saying..."

Horsman crossed his chest and became sulky, while Lili gnawed an apple on her rising and falling chest. Although she was also cheated, she was not the one to pay in the end...

"thump!"

Just as they were about to reach the tavern, someone suddenly fell off their horse on the road ahead.

Moria and the others walked over without turning their heads. Fortunately, they didn't fall right in front, or else they would have stepped on that person.

He's just a passerby, so even if he falls down, he has no obligation to help.

"Hey, hey, hey, do you have a sense of public morality? This is an old man!" Horsman looked at the few people who walked directly past and couldn't help complaining, and then stepped forward to the fallen "old man".

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! We're saved." The man took a few breaths and felt out of breath. He looked very sick. The first thing he said when he raised his head was:
"Sister, although I am very grateful, I still have to correct you. I am only eighteen years old..."

"Sister? Eighteen years old? That's okay." Horsman let go immediately, and the man's head hit the ground again.

This is eighteen years old? On the other hand, some people believe that he is eighty years old, and he looks like he is dead but not buried.

Horsman patted himself and stepped over the opponent:

"You guys wait for me..."

The man: "..."

Lying*, ruthless.

At this time, hearing the man's sick voice, Moriah suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the man who had just landed.

"Wait a minute, kind sister, please help me. I'm a patient and can't get on the horse. Please help me. I'll have something for you later."

The man's voice came over again, but Horsman was not happy. After all, this was the first time she was called eldest sister. It was such an impolite title. She had to call her little sister no matter what.

But the goodwill in the bones of the fur tribe did not allow her to stand idly by. Finally, Horsman stepped forward and threw the fallen man onto the horse again.

It was a long-legged light blue horse with a white mane that covered its eyes. It looked like it was in its prime, tall, mighty, and very strong.

"Thank you, you are a good... person." The man was about to say something grateful, but suddenly his desire for survival drove him to change his words. As he said that, he took out a basket of red apples from his arms: " this is for you."

Once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, Horsman instinctively took a step back. This time she learned to be smarter: "I don't want it. I don't have the money to give it to you. Even if you say you can go to heaven directly after eating it this time, I won't." I won’t give you any money.”

The man was stunned, with astonishment written all over his face. How did this guy know that he might ascend to heaven after eating it? Could this be the legendary daughter of destiny?

"These apples aren't worth much, and I won't charge you, a kind person like you, just for helping me."

The man said sickly, his voice getting weaker and weaker as he spoke, as if he had no strength left: "Hurry up and give it to your companions to try together. There are some unexpected surprises in it..."

Seeing that the other party said that he would not charge money, he thought that he would not give up the things he prostituted for free, so Horsman accepted the basket of apples.

The man lay on the horse, carrying something unknown behind his back, and said feebly to the horse beneath him:
"Zhuangzhuang, let's go!"

However, when the man was about to drive the horse away, Moria suddenly called him out:

"Wait a moment…"

Hearing Moria's call to stop, the man's expression became inexplicably nervous for a moment, but it only lasted for a while, and soon, the nervous expression disappeared without a trace.

I saw him lying on the horse and turning his head, with his face on the horse's back, and said half dead: "Sir, you called me?"
