Chapter 92
"So this little girl is the one who did that to the three of them?"
Nami looked curiously at Perona, who was unconscious in Rorschach’s arms. She hadn’t expected the girl to look so young, though her figure was surprisingly well-developed.
"Well, don’t let her appearance fool you. She’s actually a year older than Reiju."
"Really?!"
Nami looked at Perona in disbelief. She couldn’t believe this girl who looked so young was actually five years older than her.
"Captain Rorschach, how do you plan to deal with these little girls?" Kaku asked with dark lines on his face.
Having recovered from their negative state, Kaku pulled down the brim of his cap to hide his face.
"Perona? We’ll recruit her onto the ship. She’ll be our crewmate from now on," Rorschach answered without hesitation.
"Crewmate?"
Hearing Rorschach’s reply, Kaku lowered his head even further. Lucci beside him did the same, pressing down his tall hat.
"I want to die..."
Bruno, who wasn’t wearing a hat, had his usually expressionless face twisted into a bitter look. After hearing she would become a crewmate, his face was covered in even more dark lines.
"Puhahahahaha!" Rorschach burst out laughing.
The three who had just recovered from their negative state somehow became even more depressed. Their shoulders slumped as black lines covered their faces.
"Captain Rorschach, I’m feeling a bit unwell. I’ll head back to the ship first," Lucci forced out, enduring the embarrassment.
"Me too," Kaku and Bruno quickly added.
"Hahaha, go ahead, go ahead."
Rorschach waved his hand casually. However, the three’s reactions were simply too funny and completely out of character with their usual personas, making Rorschach laugh again.
With Rorschach’s permission, the three disappeared from sight at several times their normal speed. They definitely didn’t look unwell at all (laugh).
"Captain Rorschach, how do you plan to recruit this ghost girl this time? Looking at her, she’ll probably throw a huge tantrum when she wakes up," Reiju asked after Lucci and the others had left.
"Well, first we need to defeat Moonlight Moria. Once he joins us, won’t all his crew members become mine too?"
Rorschach spoke with complete confidence. My crew is mine, and my subordinate’s crew is also mine. That’s not too much, right?
Holding this mindset, he didn’t even consider the possibility that Moria might refuse — even though he had just killed one of the man’s officers.
He was quite experienced at kidnapping people anyway. Worst case, he could just tie her up and bring her aboard like he did with Nami and the others. She would get used to it eventually.
"Hehe, as expected of Captain Rorschach," Reiju chuckled softly. It was hard to tell whether she was praising or teasing him.
After arriving at the castle, Rorschach didn’t rush to meet Moria. Instead, he first located Perona’s physical body, stuffed her soul back into it, then picked up her real body and continued toward Moria’s location.
Having a physical body felt much better. She was much more comfortable to carry this way.
With the help of Observation Haki, they quickly reached the large hall where Moonlight Moria was located.
"Hee hee hee hee hee. So you’re the pirates who broke into my territory? You actually managed to pass Absalom and Perona’s tests. You don’t seem like ordinary pirates."
Moonlight Moria quickly noticed Rorschach’s group. He sat on a large sofa in the center of the room. Candlelight stretched out his shadow as he let out his signature laugh.
The moment Rorschach entered, he saw the dim lighting, Moria’s massive body, and the fierce crimson glow in his eyes within the darkness.
It had to be said that these characters had very strong first appearances. Unfortunately, Moria was one of the rare disappointments among them.
In his youth, he had strength comparable to a young Kaido. His swordsmanship, physical techniques, and Devil Fruit ability were all excellent. But after suffering a major defeat, he fell into decadence. His unreliable subordinates caused him to lose in that great battle.
In the end, his will collapsed completely. He became a useless person who relied on others to do everything for him. Even his catchphrase had become "I’ll leave it to you," showing just how far he had fallen.
Still, his subordinates were quite loyal and respectful toward him.
"Moonlight Moria, a once-renowned great pirate who fell into this state after losing to Kaido. Have you lost the will of a strong person? Are you content to rot away like this?"
Rorschach spoke calmly. He planned to first provoke this "slacker king" with words, then "wake him up" with force.
"Hm?"
"Brat, who do you think you’re talking to? You dare act wild in front of me?"
Hearing Rorschach’s words, Moria stood up, his tone turning angry.
His massive body added quite a bit of pressure, especially in the eerie atmosphere of the ghost castle.
"Hee hee hee hee. Your strength seems pretty good. In that case, I’ll be taking your shadows." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Hee hee hee hee. But before that, why don’t you have a bout with this first?"
"Shadow Revolution!"
The previously angry Moria suddenly calmed down again. Having grown lazy and inactive over the years, he sat back down. With a wave of his hand, a shadow clone sprang out from his shadow.
The shadow clone had the same massive size as Moria, but it was made entirely of shadow and could ignore most physical damage.
He had grown used to letting others handle things for him. Even if his subordinates were defeated, he still had "another self" to deal with the problem.
Meanwhile, he could leisurely lie on the sofa and watch the show.
"If you keep going like this, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to stand up anymore."
Rorschach frowned. Moria’s body could basically be described as a ball. Other than his neck, the rest was just a giant sphere. His once long legs had now become short stubs.
"Hee hee hee hee. Little brat, defeat my clone first. I’ll cut off all your shadows and turn them into zombies. That way I’ll gain a few more powerful generals."
Moria let out a cold laugh while supporting his oversized head with his hand.
The Shadow Master swung its massive palm toward them.
Just as the palm was about to hit, Rorschach’s figure vanished. A green barrier appeared in front of the shadow clone.
Clang!
The shadow claw collided with the barrier, producing a metallic clang.
Meanwhile, Rorschach had already appeared in front of Moria.
"Hm?"
Moria stared in surprise at Rorschach, who had suddenly flashed in front of him. His eyes widened, and the corners of his raised mouth drooped.
However, the smile didn’t disappear — it simply transferred to Rorschach’s face.
Rorschach smiled as he looked at Moria. His fist was already coated with Armament Haki. He then threw a powerful punch straight into Moria’s belly, which was even larger than Rorschach’s entire body.
The punch caved in Moria’s stomach. A terrifying shockwave erupted from his back.
Moria shattered the sofa behind him and was sent flying, smashing through several walls in succession.
All the candles and lights in the room were extinguished or shattered by the violent gust of wind.
