Chapter 21 "Thunderous 8 Trigrams" Quitting King Addiction, Surprise from Yamato
"captain……"
The pirates were moved.
Moriah, who was carrying a heavy burden, was panting with exhaustion, and the footprints he left in the snow were getting deeper and deeper.
"Hey, Moriah, are you interested in joining the Beasts Pirates?"
Jello's voice sounded behind him.
"Impossible! I, Moria, am going to be the next Pirate King!"
Faced with the recruitment, Moria acted defiantly.
"Okay, I'll remember what you said!"
Jello responded to Moria's last bit of pride with a cold voice.
It can be seen that Moria is very ambitious at this moment and is a doer with dreams.
If Teacher Kai faced such a young man, what would he do?
[Ding! The investment target Yamato has successfully mastered the move "Thunder Bagua". Congratulations to the host for gaining double enlightenment of the move "Thunder Bagua"! ]
The voice of the investment system sounded at this moment.
Every detail of Kaido's signature skill "Thunder Bagua" is engraved in Zero's mind.
But unfortunately, Zero does not have the domineering aura, so the power he can unleash is naturally not comparable to Kaido's.
"Yamato, thank you!"
"Another big surprise for me!"
The black dragon exerted force suddenly, quickly caught up with Moria and others, and blocked them.
A breath of hot dragon burned off Moria's retreat.
"Damn it, I'll fight you."
Moria, carrying his companions on his back, looked back at the sea of fire that was like a fence, shouted, and rushed towards Zero.
Seeing that Moria was going to fight like a trapped beast, Zero transformed into a human form and imagined the steel knife in his hand as a mace.
“Thunder——”
The armament domineering covers the arms to increase the power of the attack, while at the same time drawing out the power of lightning and fire in the body and wrapping it around the blade.
“Gossip!!”
After shouting the last two words, Jello stomped his foot on the ground, used the reaction force to fly into the air, and jumped to kill Moria with the force of splitting Mount Hua.
Silver lightning exploded, and the steel knife was unstoppable, leaving a deep bloody mark on Moria's abdominal muscles.
"what!"
Moriah screamed in pain and fell heavily to the ground, while all the pirates he was carrying fainted in the process.
At this moment, Jello was the only one standing on the battlefield.
The heavy snow is still fluttering,
"What kind of king did you just say you wanted to be?"
Zero asked Moriah, whose body was still covered in blood.
"Hehehe, you win this battle."
"I am convinced that I lost!"
Moriah's chest kept rising and falling, and he gasped with his mouth wide open.
The snowflakes dancing in the sky fall into your mouth, bringing the bitter taste of failure.
"It sounds like you are quite free and easy."
Jello spoke calmly, his tone seemed to be free of any emotion, but his heart was not calm. He wanted to turn Moria into the Old Mo by his side.
"Being a pirate will lead to death sooner or later."
"Kill me, or else... I will come back sooner or later!"
Moria closed his eyes, looking ready to die.
After hearing this, Jello smiled calmly, picked up the head of the unconscious pirate next to him with one hand, and lifted it up.
"I will let you go and let you go back to seek revenge on me."
"But...next time, the guys who come with you to Wano Country won't be them!"
After saying that, Jello slowly exerted force with his fingers, and the unconscious pirate's head continued to cave in, with blood flowing down his cheeks.
"stop!"
Moria howled in pain. For someone who valued his companions as much as he did, killing his companions in front of him was more painful than killing him directly.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for harvesting the emotion of despair...! ]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for harvesting the emotion of despair...! ]
…………
The system's notification sounds continued to ring, and Moria's despair continued to strengthen the Black Dragon's power.
"Moria, it turns out you don't want your companions to suffer because of you..."
Before Zero could finish his words, Moriah's urgent voice rang out: "I join the Beasts Pirates! Please don't hurt my friends anymore!"
"If this had happened earlier, wouldn't you have to endure so much pain?"
After Jello finished speaking, he did not let go.
"Use your fruit ability to hand over the shadow that can control your body."
A cold voice sounded, and Jello, who possessed the passive ability of "Lord of the Undead", stared at him.
"You let my companion go first!"
"How else can I trust you?"
As a pirate, Moria is very vigilant.
If I really hand over my shadow to Jello in front of me, then I will have to let him control me from now on, and it will be difficult for me to not surrender.
By that time, not only will you be unable to protect your companions, but even your own freedom will be sacrificed.
"The loser has no right to bargain."
"Either surrender or he dies, it's that simple."
Jello said this cruelly, and he increased his strength a little more. More blood flowed down his wrist, slowly dyeing the snow red.
We are all pirates. If the loser is me, my fate will not be much better than Moria's now.
As Moria watched his companion's blood continue to flow, his heart began to bleed as well.
"for you!"
Finally, he couldn't bear to see his friend suffer because of him anymore, so he handed over his shadow. "Now we can finally let him go!"
"Smart move!"
Jello took the shadow with his left hand and loosened his right hand suddenly. The pirate fell in a pool of blood with his last breath.
"Remember, my name is Zero, the Scourge of the Beasts Pirates."
"From now on, you, Moria, and your forces will be under my command and obey my orders."
"When I am completely confident in you, I will return the shadow to you."
"Do you understand? Moriah?"
Jello patted Moria's shoulder and asked him.
"I understand, Master Jello!"
Moria, lying on the ground, swallowed his saliva, closed his eyes, not wanting to look at Jello's face, and said angrily.
“It’s so cold, this nasty weather!!”
Listening to Moria's sad voice, Jello looked up at the sky, watching the fluttering snow, and said calmly.
Moria didn't know what Jello meant by this and didn't respond.
Jello took off his mink fur coat and covered Moria's exposed abdominal muscles with it.
"I will arrange for someone to treat your wounds."
"The frost and snow behind the bell won't last long..."
“I hope the weather won’t stay cold all the time.”
Immediately, Jello patted Moria's skin, which looked like fish skin, and looked at him with a "kind" expression.
"Although I don't like the cold, I prefer eating frozen fish."
"What about this frozen fish? The colder it is, the harder the bones become, and the more fun it is to fold."
