The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

This strange stone in the hands of the Navy Admiral was not the first time that Kagura had seen it, and it was full of evil charm.

"Marshal, the thing in your hand is called Behelet, and it is an extremely dangerous key. It is not suitable for you to keep it. Let General Yaotun deal with it."

This is not the place to talk. The three women entered the Roman fortress and went to the office of the Admiral of the Navy. Kagura wanted to explain in detail to Altria the role of Behelet and what its appearance meant.

Everything is closely related to the origin of Admiral Yaotun. Through Kagura's perspective, the scene begins to change, and the time goes back to six years ago. After the end of the Battle of Marineford, the navy suffered unprecedented damage, and its sphere of influence was severely compressed. Where there is a power vacuum, pirates will naturally integrate into it, causing wars to break out everywhere on the sea during that period of time.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea who participated in the war can be said to have escaped unscathed without suffering any losses. They returned to their respective camps to continue their carefree lives, becoming pirates with the legal right to rob, and accumulating strength to pave the way for the future.

However, there is always an outlier among the seven people. He neither forms cliques or factions to unite with other forces, nor actively uses the name of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to recruit pirates to join. He is also not the kind of lone ranger who does his own thing. He has a fixed team that specializes in messing with the graves of the dead, and his business of digging graves is despised by others.

On the vast sea, a lone boat was floating alone. The turbulent currents mercilessly hit the hull, causing it to toss up and down, as if it might be swallowed up at any time.

The heavy rain poured down, exacerbating the dangerous environment at sea. The howling wind created huge waves that constantly hit the isolated boat. The hull was shaky and it struggled hard against the waves.

The crew clung to the side of the boat and tried their best to keep their balance, but their efforts were insignificant in such harsh conditions.

Every attack from the waves put the isolated boat in danger of capsizing, and the baptism of heavy rain made people feel desperate. The sea water rushed onto the deck, soaking every corner. The crew's clothes had already been soaked, and their faces were filled with fatigue and fear.

In this vast ocean, the lone boat seems so small and fragile, as if it is being manipulated by the power of nature.

"Have we been deceived by that bad woman? There is no island at this location. If you don't find a solution, our boat will capsize."

The girl was having her worst day. She had pink twin ponytails, and her delicate look was now messed up by the rain. The Gothic dress she was wearing was soaked and stuck to her skin, making her feel cold.

The rain hit her body mercilessly, soaking her clothes and hair. Her eyes revealed despair and helplessness, as if the whole world was against her. The crown had lost its original luster, and even her beloved umbrella was broken into pieces by the storm, as if they were all mocking her plight.

"If we hold on a little longer, we'll reach that place soon. This is our last chance."

In the strong wind, a giant fat man seven meters tall stood with a strange-looking onion on his head. His head and neck were covered with cross-stitches similar to sutured wounds, as if they were stitched together with needle and thread. This made his face look as hideous and terrifying as a devil.

However, what is unexpected is that this fat man with a scary appearance has a gentle heart. When he saw a girl shivering in the wind, he walked forward without hesitation and used his huge body to shield the girl from the wind and rain. The girl looked at the fat man with gratitude in her eyes.

The wind continued to howl, and the fat man stood there steadily. His presence gave the girl endless sense of security. Although his appearance was frightening, his behavior showed his kindness and care. Even though the two of them were not related by blood, they were no different from family members.

Character Notes: Captain of the Thriller Bark Pirates, Gekko Moriah - One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, user of the Parahuman Shadow-Shadow Fruit

The bad woman that Perona mentioned was none other than Nico Robin, the daughter of the devil. This time she traveled from the Calm Belt to the West Sea, and she paid a huge price in the process. It was because she believed what the other party said that she fell into today's predicament.

Half a year ago, the Straw Hat Pirates defeated the Thriller Bark Pirates in the Devil's Triangle, which almost led to Gekko Moriah being stripped of his title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He was already recognized as the weakest of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but he was easily defeated by a fledgling rookie pirate.

Then the war at the top that shocked the world broke out, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea were recruited by the World Government to join the war. But it was very unrealistic to ask pirates to fight with other pirates. Gekko Moriah, like the other Seven Warlords of the Sea, basically just idled away the whole time.

The Straw Hat Boy was almost killed by the Navy Admiral, and Gekko Moriah was also affected. In the end, they had no choice but to escape together. In the process, he was hit head-on by a Hellhound. If it weren't for the fat guy's thick blood, he would probably have died in Marinford.

After escaping, Gekko Moriah received treatment with the Straw Hat Boy. During this period, the former heard some things about the ancient cemetery from the latter's crew through blackmail.

After resting for two months, Gekko Moriah took Perona and some of his minions out to sea, leaving the other two cadres to guard the Devil's Triangle. He was looking forward to this grave-digging trip.

This sea area belongs to the West Sea. They are going to a remote island. There are too many unknown islands like this in the sea. There is no fixed route, so they can only rely on the oral description of their predecessors and go to that place by feeling.

Robin told Moonlight Moriah that there were probably a large number of ancient tombs here, and the residents living there only dared to stay by the sea and did not dare to explore the depths of the island.

However, how could the Son of Demon have imagined that he would take her casual mention of Moonlight Moria seriously and directly organized manpower and resources to search for this island in the West Sea. After inquiring from many parties, he finally got a vague location.

"Captain, there is a bright light ahead. It looks like an island. We can go ashore to avoid danger."

“Finally I can survive”

A glimmer of light was seen in the desperate sea, and everyone worked together to grasp this life-saving straw. The boat quickly approached the island, but things were not as simple as imagined. As they approached the coastline, the reefs on the shore gave the boat a hard time, and the bottom of the boat hit the rocks in many places and leaked water. At this point, they could only abandon the ship and escape.

Moonlight Moria didn't think too much and directly held Perona in his arms. The two took advantage of the night and the pouring rain. Not long after they stepped on land, they were separated from the other crew members.
