One Piece: My Shadow Can Hang Up

Chapter 157: Sapphire Pirates, Hanging

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, Makino 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.

A night of silence.

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. 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.

Then I thought about it later, 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 simply 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 in front 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.

"careful…"

Maginot instinctively replied with a thank you.

Um?

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, trying 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?"

When Moriah heard Makino ask this, he also smiled, but he didn't explain. Instead, he lowered his head in astonishment.

"Hmm!!"

Makino was shocked. He pushed Moriah's chest with both hands, but it felt like a huge rock that was difficult to shake.

There was no confusion in Makino's eyes, but it was filled with astonishment.

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

"What answer!?" Makino's brain crashed, and he didn't know what question to think about for a while.

"You probably don't understand yet, I'll answer you again."

"Hmm-Hmm-!"

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

"Huff, huh, huh!" Makino almost suffocated after a long breath.

"Do you know?" Moriah asked with his head down.

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

"Hmm???"

"It's good to know."

What did you know?

"Hiss——Why are you biting me?"

"You...who told you to stick out your tongue..." Makino was almost crying.

Makino was trying to break away from Moria, when a voice suddenly came from outside: "Makino, are you back?"

Hearing the voice, Makino's movements paused instantly, and he murmured: "It's Luffy..."

Moria whispered in his ear: "You don't want to be discovered by the kids in your current state, do you?"

Hearing this, Makino instantly put down all his resistance, and Moria only felt that the progress was unusually smooth.

I don't know how long it took, Makino suddenly held Moria's hand, and said pitifully: "Please, don't do this, if you are willing to marry me, I won't refuse, if you just want to play and don't want to take responsibility, if this scandal spreads in the future, I will be looked down upon by the villagers!"

At this moment.

Moria stared at Makino's aggrieved eyes, and instantly all evil thoughts disappeared, and the heart of blasphemy disappeared.

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

"Sorry." Moria put her down, wiped her tears, and felt a little guilty.

It was like building a house, but the roof was not poured.

"I will not force you to do anything again." Moria's tone was much gentler: "And remember my name, Moonlight Moria, if you have any trouble, remember to find me, I owe you."

Because I wanted to make someone upset, I almost wiped out this kindness, of course, this kindness did not refer to Moria.

Moria did not leave directly, waiting for Makino to tidy up her clothes, and then accompanied her out.

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

Seeing Makino coming out, he was immediately happy and said: "Makino, you are back, did you bring me delicious food when you went to the city this time? I will pay the bill with my future financial report..."

"Huh?"

"Who are you?"

Suddenly, Luffy found Moria, who was a little strange, and his eyes were full of doubts.

Moriah stared at the original protagonist who was less than ten years old, and smiled: "Call me uncle, I will treat you to meat."

Luffy turned his head and pouted: "I won't call you!"

"Luffy, have you eaten?" Makino asked gently.

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

Makino felt angry and funny, and said: "Wait a minute, I will make it for you."

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

"Okay! Okay! I know." Makino looked at Luffy as if he was looking at his own child.

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

Luffy jumped off his seat, stared at Makino for a while, and then looked at Moriah.

Then he assured Makino: "If anyone bullies Makino, tell me, I will beat him up with my fist and pistol!"

Moria thought to himself, isn't he as stupid as he was later? Did he become stupid when he was beaten by his grandfather when he was a child?

"No, no." Makino shook his head quickly: "It's just that there is sand in my eyes."

It's not that he is afraid of Moria getting beaten, but that Luffy will be the one being beaten.

"I only have so much money on me, I'll give it to you, as a way to repay the favor of helping me out." Moria handed over all the cash, and 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!" Makino shook his head and didn't take it.

"Think about it again." Moria stared at Makino's eyes, full of meaning that he couldn't refuse.

Makino instantly remembered the scene of him confronting her just now because of a disagreement, and now Luffy is still next to him. If the other party gets angry and confronts him in public, it will be embarrassing for so long.

So she didn't refuse and temporarily put the money away.

Makino had just put the money away when she looked up and saw that she and Luffy were the only ones left in the tavern.

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

Makino opened the leather bag and suddenly it was shining with golden light, dazzling.

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

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

It would be no problem to let the family have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Makino suddenly picked up the gold coin and ran out the door, only to see that the road was empty and there was no figure at all.

She was not willing to accept such a valuable thing.

Although Makino didn't know the other party's identity yet, she roughly guessed that he was either rich or noble, and very powerful.

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

"Makino, I'm hungry!"

"Okay! Okay! Luffy, I'll make you your favorite big bone meat."

"Yeah!"

"..."

Moria stared at his palm for a while, put it on the tip of his nose, and suddenly realized something, and his mouth twitched slightly.

Ahem.

This can't be a bargain for the red-haired kid.

Now that there is no chance to get close to the other party, she can only find another way.

After returning to the original route and wandering around the Goa King City for a few times, he almost understood it.

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

When Moria was exploring the city, he also found some guys lurking in the shadows, who seemed to be preparing to do something.

Back on the ship, Moria asked about the few people who helped a lot yesterday, but was told that they did not return last night, and the reward could only be discussed after they came back.

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

On the other side, after Luffy walked out of Makino's tavern, he not only had a big bone and meat in his mouth, but also had several bags hanging in his hands, which were all food made by Makino. Of course, so much was not for one person.

But Luffy staggered towards Mount Korpo, humming a tuneless song while walking.

"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 full and said as he walked.

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

There is a wooden house on Mount Korpo, which is the residence of Dadan's family.

In addition to a group of bandits, there are 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 wooden house and was about to spit out the bones and wipe his mouth to destroy the evidence.

But he didn't expect.

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

"Luffy, where have you been? Get ready, we're going to collect materials." Seeing Luffy coming back, Ace asked, and suddenly saw the bag in Luffy's hand: "What are you holding?"

"This, this, this is the meat that Makino asked me to bring you. I definitely didn't steal it." Luffy handed over the bag in his hand, and then whistled calmly, his eyes dodging.

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

"Luffy, tell the truth, how many did you steal." Sabo rubbed his hands and walked over.

"I didn't eat it." Luffy said stubbornly.

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

After a while.

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

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

He even drank up the soup.

After eating everything, Luffy was released. Ace said, "Let's go and collect materials."

"I won't go." Luffy turned his head to show that he was angry.

Sabo suddenly said, "Maybe you can pick up a telescope that no one wants."

When he heard about the telescope, Luffy was no longer angry and asked back, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. I saw it there last time. I just don't know if you didn't pick it up because you wanted it." Sabo said nonsense seriously.

The result.

Luffy really believed it and instantly became motivated. He stood up and ran to the front: "Let's go!"

On the other side, Moria was accompanying Perona to catch goldfish. For half a day, the latter was catching goldfish there, but she didn't catch any.

Moria squatted down and looked at the large and small basins in front of him, which were filled with colorful goldfish.

Yawning, Moria secretly complained that people were really addicted to goldfish. The old man selling goldfish almost smiled crookedly.

"Tap, tap, tap!"

A burst of hurried 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 heard this and said seriously.

"They had a conflict with a noble in the city this morning. In the end, two people broke out of the encirclement, one was caught, and one was missing."

Seeing that Moria's face was not very good, Absalom 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 out 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.

Where are people?

In a room on the sailboat of the Three Horrors, Hogback had just finished operating on several people, removing the bullet casings from their bodies and restoring the wounds.

Moriah had already pushed the door open 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." Hogubak 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 just 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 rescue him.

"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: "Return to your Majesty, there is still half an hour, the gallows should be set up now."

"Yes." 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 man. Although there were so many people in the pirate group, he couldn't name him for a while, but he knew that this man 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, 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 a world noble, Celestial Dragon?"

"No, no, no...that's not the case either."

"..."

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 city of Goa Kingdom, 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 the other person 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 frightened. He bravely asked: "Who are you? Why do you appear 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 his 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, as one of the member states of the World Government, Goa Kingdom happened to be present at the meeting on the implementation of the Seven Warlords system.

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

"I wonder what Mr. Seven Warlords wants to do?" Hearing that it was the Seven Warlords, Sereny II was not only less nervous, but also relieved.

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

However.

The next casual sentence from Lafitte scared the old king like an eighteen-year-old:

"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."
