"Moria, you should be able to tell."
"I am strong, and so are my partners."
"If you become my partner."
"You won't experience the pain of losing a partner again."
"Of course, in the current situation, you may feel that even if we really die, you will only applaud and cheer."
"However, if I say that I have the ability to make you, Moria, and Perona stronger."
"Are you willing to be my crew?"
"At least, if you are a little stronger."
"Perhaps you won't be easily defeated like this time.
"And if you become stronger, you will have a chance to retaliate against Kaido."
Rifan looked directly at Moria and finally threw the hook with golden bait.
"Help us become stronger?!"
"Revenge on Kaido?!"
Moria frowned, and after a long time, he asked:
"Rifan, tell me first, why are you so obsessed with letting me be your partner?"
Although a little unwilling, after seeing the strength of Brook and Rifan.
Moria understands that Rifan doesn't necessarily need his own power.
Brook almost beat him.
And Mikita and Nico Robin on the Black Pearl, who offered a reward of hundreds of millions of Berries, might really have the ability to defeat him.
He really couldn't figure out what was in him that was worthy of Rifan's attention.
"First of all, you have enough strength."
"Your ability is also well developed."
"If I take away your shadow fruit and re-cultivate a shadow devil fruit ability user."
"Maybe it will take a certain amount of time before he can grow into a shadow devil fruit user like you."
"Secondly, I see that you value your companions quite a lot."
"If we can form a friendship of partnership."
"I will be very relieved to hand over my back to you."
Rifan said, showing a rather kind smile to Moria.
Of course, only Rifan knows clearly.
The most important reason why he invited Moria to be his partner was because of Perona.
If it wasn't for his considerable interest in Perona.
Perhaps Moria's shadow fruit and Absalom's transparent fruit have already been taken out of their bodies.
"Get out my Devil Fruit?"
"Cultivate new shadow fruit ability users?"
"Rifan, are you kidding me?"
Moria frowned, staring at the man in front of him.
"Moria-sama, Rifan... really has the ability to steal other people's Devil Fruit!"
Perona pursed her lips and whispered beside Moria.
As she spoke, she recounted to Moria of how Rifan took the chain fruit from a dead body.
After hearing the news, Moria showed a rather shocked expression as Rifan expected.
"You, you actually have such an ability?!"
"And the Marine would allow someone like you to become a Shichibukai?! No, they should have not known about it…"
"Then if I don't agree to your conditions."
"Are you going to take my Devil Fruit directly?"
Moria took a deep breath and asked Rifan with a serious face.
"Well, who knows."
Rifan shrugged and said.
Moria looked at Rifan's expression, although he didn't say anything.
But Moria has no doubt that if he refuses, Rifan will take away the Devil Fruit in Perona and Absalom including him.
'This guy, bring Perona and Absalom and Hogback here.'
'He wants to use them to threaten me.'
Moria glanced at Perona, Hogback, and Absalom, thinking in his heart.
"Also let me tell you my plan, I plan to visit the Country of Wano. So a battle with Kaido is inevitable. If you become a member of my Black Pearl Pirates."
"The two of us have a common opponent."
"Also, even though I made you a member of my Black Pearl Pirates."
"But it's not for you to stay by my side all the time."
"For you, I hope you will continue to keep your own pirate group and become the captain of the subordinate pirate group of my Black Pearl Pirate Group."
While speaking, Rifan opened the door of the seastone cell.
"Moria-sama, how about we agree.
Perona reached out and pulled Moria's clothes, and said in a low voice.
Perona, who does not want to follow Itou's career, is quite worried at the moment.
She was afraid that Moria would refuse and all of them would be wiped out by Rifan.
Moria looked at Perona with complicated eyes.
After a long time, he sighed and said to Rifan:
"Do you really want to defeat Kaido, Rifan?"
"It's natural. Becoming Shichibukai is not my ultimate goal. After that, I want to become one of the Four Emperors and then become the new pirate king!"
"Pirate King, I know you dream of it once too."
"So it's not too late to pursue such a dream now, Moria, although you can't become the Pirate King, you can become the crew member of the Pirate King.*
"Heh, the crew of Pirate King? Rifan, even if I promise you, the Marine and World government won't allow me, the former Shichibukai, to be your partner."
"About this, you can rest assured, Moria. I have already settled with Sengoku, so the Marine will not pursue you if you become my partner."
"What?! The Marine even promised you such a thing?! Rifan, are you sure you are not joking?"
"I'm not kidding! I have what Sengoku wants in my hand, and he will naturally fulfill some of my conditions, just like how they allowed me to replace you as Shichibukai."
Hearing Rifan's words, Moria fell into silence again.
After a long time, he sighed and nodded to Rifan:
"Rifan, I admit, I am quite surprised by what you have done."
"You locked Perona and the others with me, so I had to agree to your conditions."
"Okay! I promise you, I will be your subordinate."
"But you have to understand, if one day I find out that you are not qualified to be my captain."
"I will leave you without hesitation and set up my pirate group!"
[Panda Rifan, you have met the conditions for inviting Gecko Moria to become a partner, and now you can engrave the tattoo of the Black Pearl Pirates for Moria. ]
As soon as Moria's voice fell, Rifan's mind sounded a reminder of the copy space.
"I'm very glad that you can join and become a member of my pirate group, Moria~"
"In this way, my Black Pearl Pirates have taken a firm step towards the establishment of a large pirate fleet."
"Come on, tell me where you want my tattoo of the Black Pearl Pirates to be engraved on your body."
Rifan took out the seal of the pirates and said to Moria impatiently.
"Still need a tattoo?"
"Forget it, it can be on the back of my hand."
Moria frowned, although he was a little upset, he still untied his gloves and showed the back of his hand in front of Rifan's eyes.
Rifan was not polite, and raised his hand to stamp the engraving on the back of Moria's right hand.
[Panda Rifan, Gecko Moria has officially joined your crew, number 13.]
[According to Moria's personal attributes, he has been calculated for you as a fleet position that he can adapt to. ]
[Please make your own choice. ]
[Note: The higher the rank of the crew, the higher the rewards you can get as the captain. ]
'I choose the captain of the subordinate pirate team!'
[Congratulations, Rifan, you have successfully invited the 'subsidiary captain' Gecko Moria!]
[It is detected that its position can only be 'excellent', and you will be rewarded with 1000 points. ]
[Remarks: The rank assessment of the position of "subsidiary captain" is determined according to its commanding power, strength, etc. as the assessment conditions!]
[Panda Rifan, since you already have a captain of the affiliated pirate group, your Black Pearl pirate group is first rated as the "Pirate Fleet"!]1
[Gecko Moria has obtained the power of the Germa 66 exoskeleton due to joining the Black Pearl Pirates, and its personal attributes have been refreshed, please check for yourself. ]
[Pirates: Black Pearl Pirates (Level 3)]
[Name: Gecko Moria]
[Age: 48 years old]
[Crew number: 13]
[Position: Affiliated Captain]
[Physique: 45000]
[Physical level: A level]
[Devil Fruit: Shadow Fruit]
[Martial Arts Skill: None]
[Kendo Skill: None]
[Other skills: Germa 66 exoskeleton]
[Special Ability: None]
[props: none]
[Loyalty: 20 (casual acquaintance)
[Bounty: 320 million Berry]
'He got the power of the Germa 66 exoskeleton but couldn't push his physical level to S level? '
'Sure enough, Moria's strength has seriously declined.'
'The loyalty is only 20.'
'This should be because Moria got the Germa 66 exoskeleton, so it has been added to reach this level.'
'It's not bad, it should improve slowly in the future.'
Rifan looked at Moria's personal attributes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In Rifan's view, Moria, who can't use Haki and whose strength is all on Devil Fruit, may even be able to compete with Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral.
An elite Vice Admiral of Naval Headquarters can even defeat Moria.
Of course, this was before Moria became his partner.
Now Moria has become his partner, just the addition of the Germa 66 exoskeleton.
It will make Moria's strength steadily surpass Naval Headquarters' Vice Admiral.
But even so, there was a burst of sigh in Rifan's heart.
Once upon a time, Moria was someone who could fight Kaido.
Even though Kaido hadn't become Four Emperors at that time, Kaido was still a strong player who could fight Kozuki Oden fiercely.
Moria was able to fight Kaido at that time, Rifan felt that Moria's original physical level might already have an SS level.
What's more, Rifan thinks that maybe the original Moria awakened his Haki.
It's just that due to lack of exercise for a long time, Haki has disappeared from Moria's body, and his physical points have also shrunk significantly.
Of course, even so, Rifan believes that if Moria starts training again.
Maybe his strength can recover quickly and become stronger.
Perhaps, his defeat of Moria this time can force him to train again and harder.
As for Moria's loyalty, Rifan is not worried either.
Although Moria is now, to some extent, coerced and lured by Rifan to become the deputy captain of the Black Pearl Pirates.
But for a character like Moria, Rifan believes that as long as he nods, as long as he does not go too far on his side, Moria will not leave.
And, after that, Rifan will take Perona away.
Therefore, even if Moria is not with Rifan.
Rifan is not worried that Moria will betray.
Unless he can completely disregard Perona's safety.
