One Piece: My Shadow Can Hang Up

Year 1512 of the Haiyuan calendar, fourteen years after the Age of Discovery.

It's daybreak now, and the hard-working people have already had breakfast and are getting busy.

East China Sea, Windmill Village.

The newspaper-selling seagull was already standing on a fence, as if waiting for something.

Not long after, a little girl with a pair of white devil horns on her head and her hair tied into a ponytail ran over.

Seeing the little girl approaching, the seagull took out a newspaper from the bag hanging on its body.

The girl took out some finely chopped nut-like things from her pocket, along with some money: "Here, eat it!"

The seagull was not polite either, he was obviously an old acquaintance.

After eating a few mouthfuls, the seagull screamed a few times, then fluttered its wings and flew into the sky.

The little girl was holding a newspaper in her hand. Although she could not read all the words, she could see the pictures in the newspaper.

"Squeak!"

There was no one in the tavern in the early morning. At this moment, the proprietress of the tavern was arranging the things on the counter and wiping the tabletop clean and shiny.

"Mom, here is today's newspaper." The girl put the newspaper on the table, and climbed onto the seat in front of the counter: "I want to go to the amusement park in the newspaper, but such a luxurious amusement park should be very Expensive!”

"Of course, this kind of amusement park is a place where only the children of wealthy families and nobles can go..." The proprietress said as she took the newspaper, scanned the title first, and then she froze in place. land.

After a long time, a look of relief flashed in his eyes.

She touched the purple hair on her daughter's head and said, "I will take you there when I have time..."

"But... doesn't it mean... only nobles and rich people can go?" the girl asked with some confusion.

"Because you are special, they won't charge you when the time comes."

The landlady explained carefully, and suddenly thought of something: "Don't think so much, come and eat your leftovers first."

"I'm full. I want to go out and play pirate games with Luffy-san!"

“You’re not allowed to go anywhere without eating!”

"All right…"

…

Somewhere in the New World, several turtles were pulling a huge warship nearly 10,000 meters in length on the sea at low speed.

This is the golden ship that the Moonlight Pirates spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build. It is made of precious wood and is plated with gold on the outside.

It's not that I don't want to make it out of pure gold, it's just that it won't float on the sea at all.

The city where the ship is located was named Twilight City by Moriah. He originally intended to take the name Moonlight City, but it didn't sound domineering enough. Twilight refers to the last ray of sunlight, and after twilight is when the moonlight shines, hence the name.

At this moment, the port inside the giant ship is almost full. There are everyone here, including pirates, wealthy businessmen, princes and nobles, as well as some plainclothes navy and government officials.

And the underground emperors have also received invitations, the king of loan sharks in the currency field, Du Feld, the Queen of Happy Street in the entertainment field, Stussy, big news in the intelligence field, Morgans, the deep currents in the transportation field, Umit , warehousing field concealment division, Gilbertson.

Of the six underground emperors, the only one missing was the emperor of the killer realm.

Stussy and Gilbertson are old acquaintances. The former's colleague is also responsible for the task of detecting intelligence, so it is not surprising to be here.

Umit is in charge of transportation, and he also comes here to seek cooperation possibilities. After all, goods and people need ships to come and go.

As for Morgans, Moria spent a lot of money to buy the front pages of several of his news. There was no conflict of interest, and coming here was considered a face-saving measure.

The reason why so many people suddenly came was not only because of the publicity, but also because of security. Most places on the ship were monitored by phone bugs to ensure the safety of the lives and property of those who boarded the ship.

The most attractive gimmick is the Mermaid Paradise, where mermaids of various colors will perform shows...

The ship is also divided into various areas, each with its own dedicated person in charge. Baccarat is responsible for the casino, Perona is responsible for the amusement park, and Horsman is responsible for the snack street.

Absalom volunteered to manage the hot springs and bathhouses, but was rejected by Moria and he was appointed captain of the security brigade.

You don't need to worry about other people, but you still have to entertain some famous people.

As for the Queen of Happy Street, her status is extraordinary and requires Moria to entertain her personally.

Preparing to enter the presidential suite of the eight-star hotel, Stusy's mind was completely blank at the moment.

"This animal..."

If it was from the front, up and down, she could still control it, but from behind, she felt like she could barely catch her breath, and her head was buzzing.

When the clouds closed and the rain stopped, Moriah lifted the petite person onto his lap and let her sit sideways, with his arms acting as her support.

"Is there any instruction from above this time?" The fingers of Moria's left hand pointed upward, and the other hand went around his armpit and he didn't know what he was doing.

Stussy's cheeks were slightly red, and she said with a strong and calm expression: "It says that as a member of the King's Shichibukai, you must hand over part of your income on time, and don't think about any tricks."

This is when I saw Moria's entertainment city being built, and I was jealous.

However, handing over part of the income is not new now. It was already a clear rule when we became the Shichibukai.

Except for the fact that the Shichibukai must accept the forced summons of the World Government and pay a certain amount of income to the government, they can move freely in peacetime without any interference from the government.

"You can ask me to pay." Moria said seriously: "Go back and tell them that they can pay, but they must admit that this is a legal area and allow officials of the World Government and the Navy to spend money here. Of course, the Celestial Dragons can also, but they must abide by the regulations on the ship."

"This is simply an unreasonable request... Stop!"

Stusi's voice was not finished, and it was already stopped.

"How can there be such a good thing? What's the point of me being a Shichibukai? Not only will I not be recognized, but I have to hand over the huge profits on time!"

Moria sneered, freeloading, don't even think about it.

"I will pass this message to the higher-ups now. Can you let me go now..." Stusi felt wronged and wanted to cry. This is really difficult to do.

As if she had thought of something, she continued, "Borrow the bathroom for a moment. I'll go wash myself. If they find out, I'll be finished."

"It's okay if you don't wash yourself. It's already dry anyway..."

"Pervert!"

"..."

A lot of things have happened in the past two years, such as the bounty hunters and killers that Moria secretly controls, as well as the mercenary organizations and unions, which have developed rapidly during this period.

This also directly impacted the status of the former killer emperor, Drago Piercro.

In an office on the top floor, after taking a bath, Moria looked at the documents sent by Bonis and the news from the spies planted around the world.

Most of them were trivial matters and insignificant.

But there was a piece of news that caught Moria's attention.

The Flamingo was found in the New World.

In other words, the Don Quixote family went to the New World.

In this world, Moria also got some information. The Don Quixote family made a lot of money from the arms business. Their products were good quality and cheap. As for the supplier...

There is already reliable information that it comes from Wano Country.

In other words, the Don Quixote family sells weapons to Kaido's Beasts Pirates.

"It's time to make a decision." Moria rubbed his temples, leaned on the seat, and looked at the ceiling with a crystal chandelier.

"Bulu Bulu Bulu——"

The Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly made a sound.

Moria thought for a while and answered the phone.

The voice of Xin Duoli came from the other end of the phone: "Boss, are you busy over there? I have something to tell you."

"Xin Duoli? It's not very busy now. Is the concert over?" Moria asked.

"The concert... has not started yet, but I have a friend who wants to see you." Xin Duoli suddenly hesitated.

"Friend? A friend from the West Sea?" Moriah immediately thought of Xin Duoli's hometown. It was the first time that Twilight City was open to the public, so it was normal for people from the West Sea to come here.

"No... no, that... her, boss, you have also seen her." Xin Duoli seemed to have something on his mind.

Although Moriah wanted to ask who it was, he gave up the idea when he thought that he would see her soon.

"Just ask him to come to the top floor of the hotel to find me. If you have anything, you can tell me in person." Moriah said in a gentle tone.

As if sensing Moriah's emotions, Xin Duoli was relieved.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Not long after, Moriah, who was looking at the blue sea outside through the window, heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

After Moriah's voice fell, the person outside the door seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then opened the door and walked in after a while.

When the man came in, the first thing he saw was a room full of exquisite and luxurious decorations. He felt that he had never seen such gorgeous things in his life.

Then her eyes shifted, and finally locked onto the person who was stroking the window with one hand and looking into the distance.

"My Lord." She called out timidly.

Moriah seemed not to have heard it, and the person instantly became a little uneasy, neither standing nor sitting.

In fact, Moriah knew it the moment she came in, but deliberately did not turn around.

After a long time, Moriah retracted his gaze, sat on the soft seat, yawned, and seemed to have no interest.

"What are you doing here?" Moriah's attitude was not very good, and it could even be said that he revealed a hint of disgust.

The person who came was none other than the second princess of the Dressrosa Kingdom, Violet. At this moment, she seemed to be dressed up carefully, with solemn but gorgeous clothes, and noble and charming.

"My Lord, I..." Violet stammered her lips and spoke for a long time.

But she was interrupted by Moriah as soon as she opened her mouth: "My Lord? I can't afford it. I'm just a pirate, I can't bear this title...!"

Moriah still remembered Violet's performance at the time. She didn't hide her contempt for pirates, as if she had an innate nobility as a princess.

"Plop!"

Violet didn't say anything and knelt on the ground with a plop. Because she was wearing a long skirt and the fabric was not very thick, her knees might have turned red.

"My Lord, forgive my ignorance at that time. Now I have absolutely no disrespect for you."

Violet's attitude changed 180 degrees, and even her personality seemed to have changed greatly, from the original plain and immature to mature and restrained.

What happened to cause such a big change?

Seeing Violet kneel down at once, Moriah didn't let her get up, but his expression eased a little.

"Tell me, what's the matter? I don't believe this is your conscience discovery and awakening." Moria stared at her and said, seeming to know something at this moment.

"The Don Quixote family headed by Doflamingo occupied the Kingdom of Dressrosa through trickery, imprisoned my father, and killed a large number of royals..." Violet stated what happened before: "I want to Please take action..."

"What does this have to do with me? Even if the Don Quixote family kills all of you, it will be the World Government that will take care of this matter."

Moria sneered and said, what he said was indeed correct, it really had nothing to do with him.

Violet's intestines were filled with regret at this moment. A Shichibukai Doflamingo could change the kingdom's ownership in just a few days, and the world government did not dare to intervene...

It was unwise for her not to leave a good impression on Moria, who was rumored to be much stronger than Doflamingo.

At this moment, she realized how ridiculous the superiority she had shown to the other party was.

"I can give you money, 10 billion. As long as you help us take back the country, the money will be yours."

Violet said that if she had no other choice, she would not come to Moriah. Among the people she knew, it seemed that only the former had this ability.

"Ten billion, you are really rich!" Moria suddenly slapped the table and laughed: "Look, the entire Twilight City belongs to me, do you think I will be short of that ten billion!?"

Violet stopped talking. From the moment she got on the boat, what she saw along the way seemed to be in the land of gold, and it certainly didn't look like she was short of money.

"If nothing goes wrong, just leave on your own? Princess... If you don't stand by your side, you are not even a princess. You are just a princess whose country has perished. You are nothing!"

Moria continued: "You may be noble in the eyes of others, but in my eyes, you are not worthy of my attention. If it weren't for Sindori, do you think you can appear here?"

Violet felt that nothing was left after her dignity had been trampled upon at this moment. It was indeed as he said, the princess of the subjugated country was just an ordinary person and had nothing to say.

"Rustling!"

"This is my first time, I can give it to you." After a rustling sound of undressing, the gorgeous dance skirt fell to the ground.

The wheat-colored skin is inlaid with several agate gemstones.

Moria stared at her with a hint of shock, then returned to normal and said seriously:

"I have never been a womanizer!!"
