Who made him the Pirate King?

"The big sword [Autumn Water]?"

Storm reached out to take the black sword, only to feel that it was heavy, and then he drew the sword out of the sheath.

With a flash of sword light, an ancient and extraordinary black long sword appeared in front of him.

The blade is black, the blade is a large reverse T-shaped blade, and it is decorated with red serrated patterns, which looks majestic.

The big sword of the twenty-one crafts of Shimotsuki Ryoma, the dragon-slaying sword master of Wano Country, originally belonged to Wano Country!

More than a decade ago, Gekko Moriah led the pirate group to break into Wano Country and fought fiercely with the Beast Pirates at that time.

The final result was that Gekko Moriah's pirate group was wiped out except for the captain.

According to completely unreliable information (fabricated)...

At that time, Gekko Moriah absorbed the shadows of all his companions and transformed into "Thousand Shadow Moriah", but he was still no match for Kaido, and in the end he could only watch all his companions melt like snowflakes under the sun...

Storm didn't know what the specific situation was at that time.

Anyway, after the battle in Wano Country, Gekko Moriah was completely "detoxified" and turned into a dark fat otaku who only loved zombie figurines.

However, after the battle in Wano Country, Gekko Moriah did not do nothing.

Although he lost, he dug up the ancestral graves of many big families in Wano Country and stole a lot of corpses...

Among these corpses, there was the former dragon-slaying swordsman of Wano Country - Shimotsuki Ryoma!

Shimotsuki Ryoma's corpse was made into a zombie by Gekko Moriah.

Shimotsuki Ryoma's sword [Autumn Water] also fell into Gekko Moriah's hands.

This was not the first time Storm encountered the "black knife".

Hawkeye Mihawk's [Night] is also a "black sword", and even the "world's best black sword".

But this is the first time that Storm has obtained a "black sword".

This [Autumn Water] is said to be the national treasure of Wano Country.

But it is not a supreme sword.

It is just one of the twenty-one great swords.

Speaking of which.

[Autumn Water], [Wado Ichimonji], [Nidai Kitetsu], [Ame-no-Habakiri], [Enma]...

There are only twenty-one great swords in total.

Wano Country alone "produced" five, and there is a high probability that there are more than these five.

Tsk!

Isn't it said that people in Wano Country are good at selling swords?

Clang!

Accompanied by a crisp sound of the sword, Storm sheathed [Autumn Water] and nodded to Hogback.

"Doctor Hogback, I have heard some rumors about you..."

Storm did not elaborate on this matter.

Whether Hogbak values ​​money as his life or is trapped by love, the other party is not worth his attention.

"You are now a cadre of Gekko Moriah, you should be familiar with this castle, right?"

Storm pointed to the four giants and a skeleton next to him.

"My friends need to wash and rest first, now please lead the way!"

The giants are too big.

Broki and his friends did not enter the castle.

But Brook followed Hogbak into the castle of Gekko Moriah and went directly to the food warehouse.

Broki, Donli and other four giants fully exerted their subjective initiative and took out all the food reserves in the food warehouse according to Brook's instructions.

While the giants and skeletons were preparing for the banquet.

Perona quietly came to Gekko Moriah, carrying a lot of bandages with her.

"Wuwuwu...Mr. Moria..."

"You are so badly injured..."

"Don't die...Mr. Moria!"

Perona sobbed softly while bandaging Gekko Moria.

It can be seen that the medical level of the ghost princess is very...ordinary and confident.

A large number of white bandages were wrapped around Gekko Moria as if they were free.

The fat Gekko Moria looked like a big white dumpling after being wrapped with so many bandages.

Storm looked at Gekko Moria who was "carefully" taken care of by Perona, and then looked at Absalom who looked like a corpse and no one cared about him.

"Ghost princess, isn't this lion head also your companion?"

"Huh?"

Perona was startled and shifted her attention away from Gekko Moria and looked at Storm.

"Are you talking to me?"

"Aren't you called 'Ghost Princess'?"

Storm answered leisurely.

"Or should I just call you 'Perona'?"

"Damn you!"

Perona walked in front of Storm with her feet turned inwards, looking up at the man who was so close.

"Don't think that you can call him by his name just because you defeated him!"

"Okay, Princess Ghost."

Storm followed suit and invited him openly.

"Your [Ghost Fruit] is very interesting. Are you interested in getting rid of that guy, Moonlight Moria, and working for me?"

"...Huh??"

Perona's eyes widened, and she looked at Storm in disbelief.

"Are you... inviting me to be your partner?"

"Yes!"

Storm said frankly.

"In my opinion, you are completely different from the three fools Moriah, Hogbark and Absalom, and you have the potential to become partners."

According to Storm.

Although Perona's [Ghost Fruit] may not evolve into anything - [Animal Type·Human Fruit·Phantom Beast Species·Death Form]...

However, the "ghost fruit"'s "kill at first sight" ability is still very powerful.

Even in the New World.

Perona's "Negative Ghost" can also make a big difference.

And the information given previously by [Big Trophy] is enough to explain the problem.

Now Perona can have a four-star rating just by relying on the ability of the [Ghost Fruit].

Basically it can correspond to Pirate Supernova!

The future is promising!

"Hehehehe..."

Perona covered her cheeks, a blush appearing on her fair face.

"This is the first time someone has invited me to be a partner! This feeling... is so amazing!

"Do you want to agree to his request and go to sea with the man you met for the first time... Wow! So exciting! So shy!

"wrong!"

Perona was thinking about it and was surprised. She reacted and looked at Storm angrily.

"I was actually influenced by you! I am a member of the Moria Pirates!

"Besides, you are not allowed to say that to Lord Moria! He is not a fool!"

"I think my wording has been very, very 'gentle', Princess Mononoke."

Storm said helplessly.

"So you mean 'refuse'?"

"That's right!"

Perona said firmly.

"I will never betray Lord Moria!"

"Then I have no choice but to kill Moria."

Storm shrugged his shoulders and walked towards Moonlight Moria.

"Although it is not appropriate for His Majesty Qibukai to kill each other, who made him take action against my friend?

"If this is the case, then we have no choice but to ask Moria to die!"

Bang bang bang!

Accompanied by a crisp sound of snapping fingers.

White ghosts emerged from Perona's body one after another, blocking the way of Storm.

"You are not allowed to harm Lord Moria!"

Although Perona's body was still trembling slightly, she still stood firmly in front of Storm.

"If you want to kill him, step over my body first!"

Storm looked at Princess Mononoke with determination written all over her face, and once again lamented the "bond" between Moonlight Moria and his subordinates.

This fat house is quite popular...

Storm released [Armed Haki], destroying the white ghosts, and then deliberately confused them.

"Princess Mononoke, didn't you ask me to kill Moonlight Moria just now?"

I?

Perona's eyes widened again, looking at the King Shichibukai in front of her in disbelief.

"You're talking nonsense! When did I ask you to kill Lord Moria!"

"I just said I wanted to invite you, right?"

"right!"

"You said yourself that you are a member of the Moria Pirates, right?"

"right!"

"You also said that you would never betray Moonlight Moria, right?"

"right!"

"Then as long as the Moria Pirates are gone, you will be free and can become my subordinate, right?"

"Yes - it's completely wrong!"

Perona was about to nod, but then she immediately reacted and shook her head violently, with two pink twin ponytails dangling behind her.

"I don't want to leave Lord Moria! And I don't want to join your pirate group! Everything you say is wrong!"

"You are so willful, Princess Mononoke."

Storm shook his head and sighed.

"You don't want to let Moria die, and you don't want to join me... You make it very difficult for me!

"In that case, go die with Moriah!"

After Storm finished speaking, he immediately raised his right hand. A deep [Armed Haki] wrapped around his fist, and he slowly struck Perona.

Seeing Bailong's "Iron Fist" slowly approaching, Perona's mind went blank and she couldn't think of anything.

The last scene in her memory turned out to be the scene when she first met Moonlight Moria when she was a child.

Trivia.

Perona was taken in by Moria when she was very young.

Perona has been living on a terrifying barque since she was a child.

Moonlight Moria is like a father to her...

"Farewell, Kumasi..."

Perona closed her eyes, and a drop of crystal tears oozed from the corners of her eyes.

"Farewell, Lord Moria..."

However.

Storm's "iron fist" failed to land on Perona's head.

Perona opened her eyes drowsily and saw Storm still standing there, looking at her with a look of hatred.

"They are both girls. How come there is such a big gap between people?"

Storm looked at the confused Perona and directly gave her an ultimatum.

“Otherwise, everyone on the terrible barque will die, and you will live alone;

“How about you do something for me, and I’ll spare the lives of the rest of the people in the terrifying barque!

"Make your choice, Princess Mononoke!"
