“Pay attention in a bit, if you provoke them, you won’t even know how you died,” Moria snorted lightly, giving Otohime a warning.

Just now, Otohime was still advising him to do good deeds, which made him very displeased.

This gift of Otohime’s had already been reported.

Speaking as if he dared to offend Rosse. That was Rosse who had killed the Red Count, much stronger than Kaido.

Not to mention Rosse’s own strength, even if he casually called a Navy Admiral, killing him would probably be a breeze.

“I will be careful…”, Otohime pressed her lips together, still in deep shock.

She, who had always stayed on Fish-Man Island, had never seen a strong person make a move.

Now just this move from Zephyr was enough to make her not dare to think further.

She had personally seen Zephyr fall from an incredibly high altitude, carrying a hundred-meter warship down.

Even in the sea, not many fishmen could do this, let alone in the sky.

This scene brought a huge visual impact to Otohime.

At least within the whole Fish-Man Island, there were no strong ones at this level.

And the key was, when she used Observation Haki to observe this group in front, she would even feel a kind of stinging pain.

This kind of feeling, she had only felt it once before, when Fish-Man Island received Whitebeard.

This already explained a lot.

But just after a short moment, Otohime suppressed this emotion.

She was only surprised by the strength of Rosse and the others, apart from that, she had no other emotions.

In her view, strength is just strength, it has nothing to do with personality or good and evil.

Although she couldn’t see all of Rosse’s emotions clearly, she could vaguely confirm that Rosse was not someone with a malicious heart.

At least compared to the other Celestial Dragons of the same race, Rosse was much better.

Even among fishmen, there were many whose malice was greater than Rosse’s.

“Kishishishi, Honorable Saint Rosse! I’ve heard of your great name for a long time!”, Moria looked over Rosse for a while, then slightly nodded his head to express his respect.

Although he was a pirate, facing someone like Rosse, he would still lower his head when it was time to.

What’s more, the people he cared about now were all gone.

The current him, was merely a lonely soul living for revenge.

“Moria, huh,” Rosse merely nodded lightly, placed Reiju and Sora back on the warship from his arms, and then boarded Moria’s ship.

[Gecko · Moria]

[Overall Rating: A]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

At this moment, Moria could be considered to be at his peak period.

Although all his companions had died after the battle with Kaido.

But being able to survive alone was already something.

It was just that later, Kaido broke his spine, and he hadn’t recovered for more than twenty years.

If trained properly, there might indeed be hope for an S level.

Even if he couldn’t match those real monsters, there was still some hope to reach the S- level.

But that was only hope, very faint. And the premise was that Moria was willing to listen, otherwise Rosse wouldn’t mind crushing him to death.

“Your ship is too big a target, switch to a smaller one to follow beside us,” Rosse said calmly.

Moria was now willing to serve him, mostly for the sake of avenging his companions.

Kaido was someone Rosse can’t subdue, and will also hinder his move on Wano, someone that has to be eliminated.

On this point, he and Moria were aligned. As for what choice Moria would make after Kaido was killed, that remained to be seen.

“No problem, Your Highness! But do I really have to abandon this ship?”, Moria’s gaze held a trace of nostalgia, this ship was one of his few remaining memories.

“Why abandon such a big ship?”, Rosse gave him a strange look and shook his head, “On the way to the Holy Land, temporarily store this ship at Mary Geoise, then when we go to the New World later, our target shouldn’t be too obvious.”

“Store it at Marine Headquarters, huh…”, A strange look flashed in Moria’s eyes, and a feeling he couldn’t describe surged up in his heart.

He, a great pirate who made a name for himself on the seas, was first recruited by the World Government and became a CP organization member, that was already fantastical enough.

Now even his pirate ship could dock at Marine Headquarters.

This feeling was no less than a bandit parking his grand steed in the stables of the Grand Marshal’s mansion.

Since when did he, Moria, have such prestige?

Moria had not forgotten how he used to be chased by the Navy all over the place.

It was only after reaching the New World that this situation eased up quite a bit.

“Any other questions?”, Rosse asked.

He didn’t like unnecessary talk. If Moria was sincerely pledging allegiance, he would use actions to give him what he wanted.

And the words type of things, Spandam must have already said, there was no need for him to repeat.

“Your Highness, this is a gift prepared by Spandam for you, handed over by me,” Moria laughed ‘Kishishishi’ and pointed at the wooden box nearby, then stepped back two steps.

Originally, this was a gift Spandam had prepared for him to deliver.

But now after seeing Rosse, he changed his mind. This favor, it was fine not to take.

A person with such strong Conqueror’s Haki would have their own standards, no need for petty tricks, better to be open and aboveboard.

“A mermaid, huh… and she looks a bit familiar…”, Rosse looked at the wooden box beside him. The box was filled with seawater, and even without using his ability, he already knew what was inside.

And just now when he was in the sky, he felt a sense of being watched, and the source was this wooden box.

As expected, it was a mermaid with Observation Haki.

Such mermaids were rare even on Fish-Man Island.

Snap!

Rosse snapped his fingers, the top lid of the wooden box flipped open, revealing the mermaid hidden inside.

“Your Highness, this mermaid has some small abilities, I hope you will take note,” Moria said with a bow and a smile, then very tactfully stepped aside.

Whatever Rosse wanted to do, had nothing to do with him. He wouldn’t provoke Rosse for the sake of one mermaid.

“I understand. Have your ship follow our warship for now,” Rosse casually waved his hand, his gaze fixed on the mermaid inside the box.

Her loose light golden long hair looked slightly disheveled, her soft and fair face revealed noble grace, she wore a luxurious outfit, her orange-red goldfish tail curled up, having a beauty of nobility and fragility coexisting.



“Aren’t you going to introduce yourself?”, Rosse gained a new understanding of Spandam’s boldness.

This guy even dared to kidnap her, braver than some Celestial Dragons.

Such a person was a double-edged sword, but indeed useful, sometimes truly able to bring pleasant surprises.

‘This gift, I accept it.

“Lord Rosse, I am Otohime, Princess Consort of Fish-Man Island. Thank you for rescuing me, I hope you can send me back to Fish-Man Island. Fish-Man Island will be eternally grateful to you,” Otohime straightened her body from the seawater and saluted Rosse with proper manners.

It seemed that in her view, Rosse would surely agree to her request.

And she had only experienced an accident as a Princess Consort, not been treated as a prisoner presented as a gift.
