Who made him the Pirate King?

Mogaku Moriah joins the "Mononoke Pirates".

The Mononoke Pirates are also part of the "Storm Fleet".

Rounding off.

Mogaku Moriah is also Storm's subordinate.

Sure enough, the temperaments of pirates on the sea are also like to reconcile and compromise.

Storm directly recruited Mogaku Moriah, but this fat guy was unwilling.

But he advocated that Perona recruit Mogaku Moriah, and the other party would agree...

Anyway.

Storm successfully recruited another Shichibukai.

However, he did not tell Mogaku Moriah about the existence of the "Cross Guild".

The main reason is that Mogaku Moriah's strength and mentality are too bad...

With weak strength, Mogaku Moriah can still rely on a large number of "shadows" to strengthen;

But the collapse of mentality and the decline of will are not something that can be solved by ordinary means.

Will affects domineering.

And the role of domineering in the new world is self-evident.

Crocodile is training seriously, bit by bit to regain his strength in the past.

But Gekko Moriah...

At least before this fat guy regains the power of [Haki].

Storm will not tell the other party about the existence of the "Cross Guild".

As for whether Gekko Moriah will regain [Haki]...

Even Storm cannot be sure of this.

The problem of Gekko Moriah is solved.

"Perona, can we leave now?"

Storm looked at the ghost princess and asked directly.

"We are leaving the horror barque now!"

"Leave?"

Perona blinked slightly confusedly, and then immediately looked at Gekko Moriah.

"Lord Moriah, do you want to leave with us?"

"No!"

Gekko Moriah shook his head directly.

Although he had just joined Perona's "Princess Mononoke Pirates", he did not really want to act with Perona.

At least now Gekko Moriah has another thing to deal with.

"I'm going to Impel Down now! The bodies of the pirates in Impel Down... and the shadows of the prisoners! I'm going to bring them all back!"

Moriah still wanted to continue to build his "zombie army".

Although Perona had some regrets.

But she didn't want to interfere with Moriah's actions-just like Moriah basically didn't interfere with her life before.

"Well, Lord Moriah, goodbye!"

Perona, in the soul state, shrank back into the sweet baby bear.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon walked over slowly.

"Moriah, I hope you can make some progress when we meet next time."

Storm looked at Moriah and reminded him in a flat tone.

"A guy who doesn't even know [Haki] is going to die in Wano Country."

"Hmph!"

Moriah retracted his gaze from Perona, stared at Storm instead, and snorted coldly.

"I don't need you to remind me! White Dragon!

"I will personally wash away the blood feud between me and the Beasts Pirates! "

Storm didn't care whether Gekko Moriah was telling the truth or not.

Anyway, when he goes to Wano Country, Gekko Moriah's true level will be revealed!

Storm jumped onto the dragon head of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Brooke and Sweetheart Bear had already reached the dragon body of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon one step ahead.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon vibrated its wings, rushed into the sky of the Terror Bark, and then broke through the fog and flew towards the edge of the Devil's Triangle.

Gekko Moriah watched the Blue-Eyes White Dragon gradually disappearing in the fog, and only reluctantly withdrew his gaze after the white dot completely disappeared.

"Perona..."

Gekko Moriah forced himself to suppress the "pain of losing his daughter", and he looked at Hogback and Absalom on the side.

"Bring the Den Den Mushi! I want to talk to the Five Elders in person! I want to go to Impel Down! "

Soon after the Blue-Eyes White Dragon left.

The Horror Bark also spread its sails and flew towards the direction of the Calm Belt.

...

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon galloped across the sky.

"Lord Moria..."

Perona's soul once again left her body, and she looked at the Horror Bark that disappeared behind her with a longing look.

But the sadness of parting did not last long, and the anticipation of entering a new world made Perona turn around.

"Lord White Dragon!"

Perona flew to Storm's side, and in her soul state, she had the ability to fly at will.

"Where are we going now?"

Hearing this question, Brook on the side immediately cast a concerned look, although he had no eyes...

"Sabaody Archipelago!"

Storm answered calmly.

"There is a remnant of the old times who I want to meet."

"Remnant of the old times?"

Brook couldn't help but interrupt.

"Captain, are you talking about me? Yohohoho!"

"Not you..."

Storm almost forgot that there was an old man next to him who was even "older" than the "old times".

"Silvaz Rayleigh, the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates, known as the 'Pluto'!"

"Rayleigh..."

Brooke was lost in memories.

"It seems that there was a new guy with this name back then..."

Perona is not interested in topics like "remnants of the old times" and "Pluto Rayleigh".

But she cares about the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Master White Dragon!"

Perona flew back and forth around Storm, like a happy little butterfly.

"It is said that the Sabaody Archipelago is a very beautiful island, isn't it?"

"If you only look at the natural scenery, the Sabaody Archipelago is indeed very beautiful."

Storm recalled for a moment and said frankly.

"The Sabaody Archipelago is an island composed of Alchiman mangroves. It is better to say 'trees' than 'islands'.

"The seven routes in the Paradise stage all have the Sabaody Archipelago as their final destination, and the prosperity there is far greater than that of ordinary islands.

"If you have any goods you want to buy, the Sabaody Archipelago has almost everything."

The distance between the Navy Headquarters and the Sabaody Archipelago is not far.

Storm had been to the Sabaody Archipelago several times before.

Unfortunately, he was short of money at that time.

Even if there was a "Devil Fruit Auction" being held in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Storm couldn't even take money out of his pocket...

Let alone bidding for devil fruits.

At that time, Storm didn't even have the qualifications to enter the auction...

To be fair.

The Sabaody Archipelago is indeed prosperous.

But that prosperity is built on countless blood and darkness.

In the eyes of some people, the Sabaody Archipelago is comparable to heaven.

In the eyes of some people, the Sabaody Archipelago is hell!

"It sounds interesting!"

After hearing what Storm said, Perona's eyes lit up.

"In fact, I also have a lot of things I want to buy..."

"Really?"

Storm glanced at Perona and asked a very critical question.

"Do you have money?"

"... Money?"

Perona came back to her senses from her admiration for jewelry and beautiful clothes and looked at Storm blankly.

"Aren't we pirates?

"We don't have money, it would be great if other people had money! "

This time, it was Storm's turn to be silent.

Geki Moriah, you really hurt me a lot!

Storm gritted his teeth.

"Although, you are right!"

"Hehe..."

Perona laughed happily like a silver bell.

"My [Ghost Fruit] is invincible - well, it is invincible against ordinary pirates!"

Storm had no way to refute this point.

In the first half of the Grand Line where basically no one understood [Haki], it was indeed difficult for pirates to threaten Perona.

If we only talk about "self-preservation ability".

Storm felt that Perona was even stronger than Brook next to her.

"Captain, are you looking at me?"

Brook pretended to straighten his chest, but he actually straightened his sternum.

"Yohoho! Although my [Yoquan Fruit] is very weak, I will never embarrass the captain!"

"Not only me, but also the 'Rumba Pirates'. "

Storm nodded, and then added.

"After the matter in the Sabaody Archipelago is settled, I will send you to reunite with the other companions.

"You two need to undergo special training for a period of time!"

In fact.

Storm could have left Perona and Brook on the Thriller Bark before, and let Gekko Moriah take charge of the "training task" of the two.

But Storm thought about it carefully.

Gekko Moriah is a waste...

Let a waste teach Perona and Brook...

Storm is very worried that Perona and Brook will be delayed.

Let's send them to the Germa Kingdom first!

The level of Big Bear is definitely better than Gekko Moriah!

When they heard about "special training".

Brook and Perona instantly showed completely different attitudes.

"Yohoho! Special training? I'm really looking forward to it!"

Now that Brook has joined the Storm Pirates and retained the position of captain of the Rumba Pirates, he is naturally more eager to improve his strength.

"Special training? No! It sounds so tiring!"

Although Perona also likes the "Monster Princess Pirates", she is more playful by nature and has no idea or motivation to train to become stronger.

"There is no room for negotiation on this matter, Perona."

Storm said seriously.

"Your [Ghost Fruit] has great potential, don't let it down."

"..."

Perona pouted.

She doesn't care whether she lets down the [Ghost Fruit].

But.

Perona doesn't want to let down Storm's appreciation of her.

"Okay..."

"By the way, I seem to have forgotten to introduce another person to you."

Storm suddenly seemed to remember something, and a huge gap appeared on the back of the dragon that controlled the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"He is the only member who is currently acting with me."

The back of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon opened.

A huge snoring sound like a beast came from inside.

Perona, who was full of curiosity, immediately dived into the dragon belly cabin of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon to find out.

But the next moment.

The scream of the ghost princess was heard in the dragon's belly cabin.

"Whitebeard!?"
