"Perona? You're here too!?"
"What the hell is this place?"
"I remember earlier...Wait, I was defeated?!"
Moria sat up, covered his forehead with one hand and said in pain.
"Yes... yes, Moria-sama."
"You, you are indeed defeated."
"But fortunately, that Rifan didn't hurt you any more."
Perona nodded and spoke.
"Rifan!"
"Yes, that's the name."
"That damned bastard, why does he have such power?!"
"Wait, where are the others?"
"Hogback and Absalom?"
"Where are they? Did something happen to them?"
Moria asked worriedly.
It is no exaggeration to say that Moria cares most about these three people on the entire terrifying Thriller Bark ship.
As for the other zombie monsters, although Moria verbally said that he would treat zombies as partners.
But he didn't care about them in his heart.
"Don't worry, Moria-sama."
"Hogback and Absalom are there."
"Their life is not in danger."
"Probably hit their head, though."
"They haven't shown signs of waking up yet."
Perona turned sideways and showed Hogback and Absalom in the same cell before Moria's eyes.
"Hogback, Absalom!"
When Moria saw the appearance of Hogback and Absalom, he was startled and jumped on them immediately.
However, Hogback was hit hard on the head after all.
And Absalom received special care from Rifan because he extended his hand to his partner,
Therefore, no matter how Moria shook their bodies, there was no way to wake them up from their coma.
"Damn Rifan, that guy dared to treat my partner like this."
"I will never let that guy go."
Moria roared angrily, planning to use his abilities.
However, soon, he realized that he had no way to mobilize the abilities in his body.
It was as if some kind of power was preventing him from using his abilities.
"Sea... seastone?!"
Moria's eyes widened, and he looked at the surrounding cages in shock.
"Moria-sama, there is no way to use devil fruit abilities here."
"These cages contain seastone material."
"This is what Rifan's partner told me."
Perona pouted and said with some reluctance.
If she could use her ability, she would have used it long ago.
It is precisely because she has no way to use her ability that she stays in the cell obediently waiting for Rifan's arrival and Moria's sobriety.
Originally, Perona thought everyone would come soon.
However, after waiting and waiting, Rifan seemed to have forgotten them, as if he had no intention of asking for her well-being.
This made Perona complain more to Rifan.
Of course, she only dared to think about this complaint in her heart.
After all, Rifan is a ruthless person who can easily defeat Moria, and after that, can also fight Tyrant Kuma.
Thinking of Tyrant Kuma, Perona felt the need to tell Moria about the strength of Rifan's gang.
In case Moria will not recognize Rifan's strength, and directly find trouble with him.
If that were the case, Moria might be in real trouble.
"Moria-sama, actually after you passed out."
"Tyrant Kuma also appeared, and even fought against Rifan..."
Perona took a deep breath and slowly talked about the fight between Rifan and Kuma.
The more Moria listened, the more surprised he became.
He never imagined that Rifan possessed such a power zone.
"That Rifan, where did a monster like him come from?"
"It's not just his partners that have that much power."
"His own strength is even more terrifying!"
Moria murmured.
At this moment, he finally began to face up to the power of Rifan and other pirates in the Black Pearl Pirates with high bounties.
"This guy brought us here, but didn't kill us."
"What the hell does he want to do?"
"Perona, do you know what his purpose is?"
After Moria sorted out his mood a bit, he asked Perona in a puzzled manner.
"Let me answer you about that, Moria."
Perona was about to answer Moria's question when Rifan's voice came from the cell door.
[Panda a: It's finally about to start, Brother Rifan will be able to accept Moria as his partner soon. ]
[Panda b: I remember that Rifan seems to be planning to develop Moria as the captain of the affiliated pirate group. I hope he can succeed. ]
[Kanzuki Karin: If I remember correctly, the rewards Rifan has received so far allow him to harvest the captains of three subordinate pirate groups. ]
[Green Pheasant Audience a: Impossible, Rifan is absolutely impossible to succeed, no matter how Moria is said, it is impossible for him to be so spineless as to join the banner of Rifan who defeated him. It is absolutely impossible for him to trigger new achievement!]
[Kensei Ma: Hehehe, I think it is more likely that he will join. After all, if he does not join, he may be directly executed by Rifan. ]
[Morrigan Aensland: It would be great if Rifan could really execute Moria. In this way, Rifan would have a chance to bring the shadow fruit to Blue Star. ]
[Panda c: Damn, another big boss who revealed her name? Speaking of which, even if Rifan kills Moria and gets the shadow fruit, he will definitely use this fruit on his partner. ]
[Morrigan Aensland: It doesn't matter, as long as Rifan can bring his partner back, I may have a way to get the shadow fruit, hehe. ]
[Panda b: Huh?! Upstairs, your speech is a bit dangerous, have you considered how powerful our Rifan is? ]
[Dante: Morrigan Aensland, I heard this name mentioned by some demon masters. It seems to be a succubus, and she is also the adopted daughter of the Lord of the Demon Realm, right? ]
[Green Pheasant Audience A: Su-Succubus?! Then...she must be very beautiful, right?!]
[Panda b: Upstairs, you only read the first half, not the second half, the adopted daughter of the Lord of the Demon Realm, are you planning to spy on her beauty?]
[Eagle Audience a: Hehe, it will be interesting now. It seems that it is not a good thing for the reincarnated people to get along too well in the copy space. No, Rifan was targeted by the adopted daughter of the Lord of the Demon Realm. ]
[Camel Audience a: What a pity, Rifan must be finished now. ]
[Dante: Not necessarily, Rifan's strength is still growing at a terrifying speed, maybe when he returns, he won't be weaker than Morrigan Aensland.
[Bayonetta: Indeed! Besides, if Rifan is really worried, I can take action against Morrigan Aensland, as long as Rifan pays me some price. ]
[Dante: Witch, it's not good for you to be like this, obviously I also want to exchange something with Rifan. ]
[Bayonetta: Hehe, I think Rifan would be more willing to deal with a witch like me than with a man like you. ]
[Dick Tracey: What about me, if I reach a deal with Rifan to help him deal with Morrigan Aensland, Rifan should accept it. ]
[Panda a: Damn, it's stable! It seems that not all the powerful people in the world want to deal with Rifan, there are still good people!]
[Eagle Audience b: Since Morrigan Aensland is the daughter of the Lord of the Demon Realm, she should be very powerful, boss upstairs, can you still deal with Morrigan Aensland?]
[Morrigan Aensland: Dante is very powerful. I have heard about Bayonetta's deeds. You are all very powerful people. In fact, you don't need to be so hostile to me, I never said that I want to go against Rifan~]
[Panda c: This succubus recognizes the strength of Dante and Bayonetta? Damn, I always feel that these two are real bosses! ]
[Bayonetta: You don't have to be strong. Could it be that you plan to use your succubus charm to lure Rifan to hand over what you want to you?]
[Dante: Although the charm of the succubus is indeed good, I don't think Rifan will take out the shadow fruit from his partner's body for you. ]
[Morrigan Aensland: This is not certain, Rifan likes attractive women, maybe he will be willing to act for me. ]
[Panda a: Impossible, Brother Rifan is a principled person, he will never hurt his partner. I don't understand, why you, a succubus, are so interested in the shadow fruit, aren't you already a demon?]
[Morrigan Aensland: Who said that the shadow fruit is related to bats and shadows? This Devil Fruit has a bit of interest in people's race. I really hope that Rifan will kill Moria, and then bring the shadow fruit directly back to Blue Star.
Speaking of which, if Rifan didn't kill Moria, he would probably bring Moria back to Blue Star in the future.
In this way, it seems that I can lure Rifan to take Moria's Devil Fruit.
Hee hee, it should be easier for Rifan to take away the Devil Fruit from a man's body. ]
[Panda c: This woman is definitely dangerous, that is to say, no matter what Brother Rifan does, will she come to find him? ]
[Eagle Audience a: This is the trouble of attracting attention, hahaha, now even if Rifan returns to Blue Star, there's definitely something worth watching. ]
Morrigan Aensland's statement made quite a few people in Panda feel distressed.
Ordinary people in other countries were quite happy that Rifan was being targeted by a master of the demon world.
After all, even if Rifan can return to Blue Star, he may not be able to help Panda because of Morrigan Aensland.
Of course, this is what Rifan doesn't know.
If Rifan knew that he was being targeted by a succubus, he might feel a little nervous.
But more is excitement.
As for the safety issue.
Rifan believes that when he returns from the Blue Star World, his power will most likely be stronger than that of Morrigan Aensland.
"Rifan, you, you are finally here!"
Seeing Rifan, Perona originally wanted to curse out loud.
But when she saw Rifan looking at her with a smile on his face, Perona immediately recalled Rifan's perverted strength.
So, when the words she wanted to scold came out of her mouth, she immediately turned around 180 degrees.
"Rifan! You brought me here, what the hell are you trying to do?"
Moria stood up straight, his eyes widened to the maximum, and asked Rifan angrily.
"Don't be too angry, Moria, I didn't bring you here to embarrass you."
Rifan waved his hand, came to the cell with a smile on his face, and said to Moria through the door of the cell.
"How can I not be angry, you bastard injured my partner, and also released all the shadows I worked so hard to collect."
"Are Hogback and Absalom dead or not?!"
"Don't worry, they are just injured. Besides, although the shadows you collected are gone, you can collect them again."
"Asshole! What do you mean they were just injured? Didn't you see that they haven't woken up yet."
"It's because their consciousness temporarily flew away. I am also a famous doctor, and I can say that they have no problems. Compared with this, let's talk about the business, how about it?"
"You bastard!"
Faced with Rifan's indifferent attitude, Moria immediately clenched his fists.
However, after looking at Hogback and Absalom who were still unconscious, and Perona who looked worried.
Moria put away the anger in his heart, and asked Rifan with a serious face:
"Tell me, Rifan, what exactly do you want from me?"
Seeing Moria's expression slow down, Rifan also smiled:
"That's the right way to talk, now we can have a good conversation, Moria~"
"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me what you want, Rifan!"
"My request is simple, be my partner, Moria.
"Partner?! What are you kidding, I'm Shichibukai Gecko Moria, how can I be your partner?!"
"You are no longer a Shichibukai."
"Huh?! Rifan, what did you say!?"
"I said, you are no longer a Shichibukai, because you lost to me, the Marine and World government will deprive you of your Shichibukai status, and I will take your spot"
"How is it possible, why would they do this..."
Speaking of which, Moria suddenly remembered what Tyrant Kuma once said to him about Rifan's potential to become Shichibukai.
For a moment, Moria couldn't help but fall silent.
"Moria, you should know that the war between Marine and Whitebeard Pirates is about to break out."
"As for why they chose me, of course it's because I'm stronger than you."
"And I have what the Marine wants in my hands."
"So they'd rather have me as Shichibukai than you."
"As for you, you should know what it would be like to lose Shichibukai's position.
"Marines will definitely find a way to erase your existence."
"So, join me and be my partner."
"You also won't be hunted by the Marine and World Government."
"You can still develop your power in this Devil's Triangle sea area."
Rifan stretched out his hand and said to Moria with a smile on his face.
Moria frowned tightly, his eyes fixed on Rifan.
If possible, he would very much like to reject Rifan directly.
However, he looked at Perona, who was praying and looking at him, and Hogback, who fell not far away.
For a moment, Moria couldn't say the words of Rifan who refused.
"Moria, I have your information."
"Once upon a time, you fought Kaido the Beasts."
Rifan said suddenly.
"What do you want to say?"
When Moria heard the name Kaido, veins burst out on his forehead, even his tone of voice has improved a lot.
"Moria, I did research on you."
"The original you also had many partners, right?"
"However, after fighting and losing to Kaido, you started working on zombie research."
"At the same time, now you are showing great concern for Perona and others."
"So I boldly guess that you should think that even if the zombie partner dies, it's not a pity.
"That's why you want to form a pirate group composed of many zombies, right?"
Rifan said.
"You bastard, what the hell are you trying to say?!"
Moria opened his mouth and yelled in surprise and anger.
