One Piece: My Shadow Can Hang Up

Chapter 173 Bad News, Golden Lion

Scarlet's clothes were very ordinary, wearing a very simple long dress. Although her complexion was not very good, she still couldn't hide her exquisiteness.

After Doflamingo took control of Dressrosa, he arrested the Riku clan on a large scale, and Scarlet lived a life of hiding and not having enough to eat.

After finally finding some food, she was reluctant to eat it because she also has a six-year-old daughter, Rebecca.

Moriah saw Scarlet. Although they were two sisters, they were different from Violet in appearance and hair color. The former had wheat-colored skin, and her facial features were more three-dimensional, giving her a wild beauty.

The latter is fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged, and looks very reasonable and smart.

Moriah didn't say anything and followed Scarlet to an empty room.

"What's the matter? Tell me? I still have something to do." Moria yawned. Even though the beauty was in front of him, he couldn't arouse any interest.

"What is your... relationship with Violet?" Scarlett pursed her lips for a long time, feeling a little embarrassed to speak, but she had to ask. After a period of ideological struggle, she finally asked.

"What does it have to do with it?" Moria thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you see everything just now? What else could it have to do with it?"

Scarlet's cheeks turned red upon hearing this, and the scene from not long ago came to mind again.

"What on earth did you use to blackmail my sister to make her...serve you like that?" Scarlet's cheeks were still a little hot, and she said bravely: "I hope you can let her go."

"Blackmail?" Moria shook his head: "I didn't blackmail her. She chose to do this. Otherwise, the Liku family and I are ruthless and innocent, why would we help you?"

As she spoke, Moria took out a pamphlet from her arms and handed it to Scarlet: "Here, this is the IOU written by herself. You can read it yourself."

Scarlett dubiously got the pamphlet from Moria and looked at what was written on it, the number 49995, and there were some writing on it, which was indeed her sister's handwriting.

"It's just 50,000 bucks. Just tell Father and I will give it to you when the time comes." Scarlet didn't know why. If 50,000 bucks is really not much, ordinary people can afford it.

Although Moria was a little embarrassed to say it, he still pointed to the number that had just been crossed out and said: "This is the one that was just subtracted, and there is still 49,995 left. If you want to pay back the money, that's fine. It will take 9.998 billion." Ten thousand."

"Why are there so many?"

Scarlet was first shocked by the amount of money, and then realized, what did you just say? Suddenly, he seemed to know something, and his cheeks turned even redder.

It's all what and what.

Moria didn't care whether she was blushing or not and said: "Anyway, that's all I have to say. You can ask Violet about specific things."

After saying that, Moria turned around and wanted to leave, but Scarlett took two quick steps and ran in front of Moria, opening her arms and blocking the opponent's way.

"Don't leave, I have something to tell you." Scarlet was too embarrassed to ask Violet. In her heart, her sister had already endured too much, and there was no need to ruthlessly reveal the other person's scars again.

Seeing that Moriah didn't seem to take care of herself, Scarlett could only say in a short sentence: "Please, let my sister go. She is the heir to the future king and will inherit the throne in the future, so it is impossible for her to be with you..."

What Scarlett said is true. In order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, nobles must intermarry with nobles.

She already has a child with someone else, so she has lost the qualification to inherit the throne, and the qualification to inherit the throne falls on Violet.

If the latter has a child with the pirate, then when word gets out, after Riku III, the Riku family will have no chance of being crowned king.

Moria looked a little unkind. This woman's stomach was growling with hunger, and she felt how noble her status was.

Scarlett had indeed not eaten for a long time. This time she entered the palace partly to inquire about her father and sister, but also to go out to find some food.

"If you are willing to leave my sister, I am willing to pay off her debt." As if she had made a decision, a trace of determination flashed in Scarlet's eyes.

"Well, your sister promised me ten billion as the selling fee. Now you must give me every penny. Otherwise, you will know the consequences."

Hearing Moriah's words, Scarlett felt inexplicably afraid.

"I...can't afford that much money..." Scarlett hesitated, even if he bought her, even 1% wouldn't be enough.

"Can I think that you are just looking for fun with me?" Moriah slapped her hand on the wall, forced Scarlet into the corner, looked down at her, and sneered again and again.

Scarlett lowered her head, her cheeks were as red as a cloud, she was a little squirming, bit her lip and said: "I am willing to repay the 49,995 for Violet... I hope you can leave my sister and not disturb her again in the future."

She was thinking that if Violet would inherit the throne in the future, she could not have an affair with a pirate, but she had no such worries.

Scarlett is now alone with the child. She doesn't even know who the child's father is, and even if others find out, it won't have much impact.

**丼?

This is really a special hobby...

But it’s not annoying at all!

At the same time, a very special looking ship docked at the port of Dressrosa.

Then, a man floated down from the ship.

The man's body was in the shape of gas, with goat horns on his head and wearing a light blue coat. He looked very fashionable and obviously not like an ordinary person.

While floating in the air, the man said, "A few navy men actually want to catch this genius scientist, stop talking nonsense!"

This man was none other than Caesar, who was almost hooked by Moria.

Originally, he secretly sold some arms, and with some project funds allocated by the government, Caesar lived a comfortable life.

It was just that the smuggling channel was discovered and stopped by the World Government some time ago, and with the benefits promised by Moria on the phone, Caesar directly ran away with the help of the gas fruit while he was not discovered yet.

Thinking that after joining Doflamingo, he would have a lot of money in the future, and then he would go to the flower boat to change one every day, and directly book all the girls on the boat on Sunday.

At this moment, Caesar had just escaped the pursuit of the navy and had no time to learn about the outside world. He just determined the direction based on the life card given to him by Moria.

Some time ago, he saw in the newspaper that Doflamingo seemed to be on Dressrosa Island. Now that he was on the island, the direction indicated by the life card was exactly the same, which also confirmed his idea.

But what Caesar didn't know was that the place had changed during his voyage.

However, after landing on Dressrosa Island, Caesar didn't think about business, but planned to find a place to have fun...

In the fields of Dressrosa, one after another, the hoe fell heavily into the ground and was raised high. The workers shed sweat, but they were happy to cultivate.

The sun gradually moved down, and finally after sowing seeds in the dug pit, the day's work was over...

After all this was over.

Dressrosa, flower field, in a small house.

Little Loli Rebecca was a little scared when she saw the strange man her mother brought back. She hid behind Scarlett, poked her head out, and looked at the man timidly.

Moriah looked at the little girl who looked like a porcelain doll. Her face was almost the same as in later generations, but she was a little immature. As for her figure, of course, this was only a six-year-old child. How could she grow so fast?

"Mom, who is he?" Rebecca asked, holding Scarlett's calf.

Scarlett's face suddenly felt hot. She didn't know what to say. She hesitated for a long time: "Rebecca, call uncle. This is the delicious food that uncle brought you."

Moriah also thought that the little girl was as cute as Perona when she was a child, although the latter is also very cute now.

With Scarlett's permission and encouragement, Rebecca finally walked out from behind her mother and took the candies and snacks from Moriah. Of course, these things were prepared by Scarlett in advance.

Rebecca found that the person in front of her looked a little cold and didn't talk much.

"The father of the child..." Moriah asked.

Scarlett rubbed her temples after hearing this, and tried to recall it. After a long time, she said, "I can't remember clearly, I really don't know him..."

Suddenly thinking of something, Scarlett hurriedly explained, "It's not what you think, I'm not that kind of woman, I only have you in my memory... I really can't remember clearly."

Moria didn't know what happened yet, just asked casually, it turns out that women are more sensitive.

But what they don't know is that at this time, the ability of the Childlike Fruit, as long as the ability user turns into a toy, will lose all memories of the person who becomes a toy.

Moria picked up Rebecca and squeezed out a smile: "From now on, I am her father, okay?"

Scarlett's cheeks turned red again, thinking that it had been a few hours ago...

As if knowing that someone had thought wrong, Moria added, "I said it in name only, Rebecca will be my goddaughter in the future."

As he said that, Moria conjured up a gem necklace from nowhere and hung it around Rebecca's neck.

Things that can be kept by Moria alone are naturally not cheap.

Rebecca didn't react. She stuffed the snack into her mouth. She was too hungry and had been craving for this thing for too long.

Scarlett sometimes felt like she had no opinion. She just agreed to whatever others said. At this moment, she looked at the shining gem.

Although she was a princess before and had never seen such expensive things, she felt inexplicably happy when she saw the other party wearing it on her daughter.

Moria touched Rebecca's head, pinched her soft face, and said, "Call me godfather... Godfather, I will take you to the amusement park."

Scarlett always felt something was strange, but when she saw such a warm picture, she suddenly felt warm in her heart.

It turns out that even the cruel pirates have a gentle side. The sharp contrast has a different kind of attraction.

So the look she gave Rebecca was also a little more encouraging.

Rebecca swallowed the snack and called out in a glutinous voice: "Fuck... Daddy..."

This voice made people feel as if their souls were cleansed.

Afterwards, Moria took Rebecca to experience all the entertainment projects for children.

Mini pirate ship, Ferris wheel, roller coaster, carousel, playing with sand on the beach, etc. In short, they played everything they could and couldn't play.

It turns out that playing is the nature of children.

It was obvious that Rebecca was talking more and her name was not so stiff.

This is how it is for children of this age. It may take a long time for adults to get close to each other, but children can become very clingy with a bag of snacks or a toy.

As night fell, the lights were dim.

Rebecca was still holding Moria's arm, and kept saying, "Godfather, I want to hear more pirate adventure stories. Tell me another one!"

"No, no." Moria said quickly, "It's so late, it's time to rest. If you tell more, your mother will be unhappy. She doesn't want you to be a pirate."

"Okay, I'll tell you tomorrow..." Rebecca was a little disappointed, but she didn't react at the moment, why this guy was crowded with them.

The moon was at the zenith, and Moriah could feel the throbbing heartbeat of the person beside her, as well as the hand that touched her body. Moriah threw it back to her, lowering her voice and saying, "What are you doing? The child is still here..."

Her lips were close to her ear, and she said softly, "I can be very quiet..."

Moriah ignored her, turned sideways and leaned on her back to sleep.

Even a body made of iron could not withstand such urging...

Scarlett obviously didn't want to let him go. She was thinking that she would rather suffer herself than let the other party huo huo her sister.

And the other party might not listen to her, and there was no way to control the other party, and she didn't have the strength.

So she was smart and thought of a way. Facing such a thing, it was like managing water, it was better to dredge than to block...

The next day.

Scarlett was preparing breakfast in the kitchen with all her strength, mumbling something.

If anyone mentioned the word "dredge rather than block" in front of her, then she must be sick!

In front of the vast ocean, everything is in vain.

Moriah had already stood up to increase his bond with the two swords. He was skilled with the old sword, but not with the new one. He couldn't wield the two swords skillfully yet. But it was a matter of time. After a period of adjustment, it was estimated that the dual-sword flow would not be a problem...

Scarlett's cooking skills were indeed good. Although it was the simplest breakfast, the taste was indeed much better than the ordinary taste.

"Bulu Bulu Bulu——"

Just when Moriah picked up all the red granules in the porridge into his bowl, the Den Den Mushi in his arms suddenly rang.

It was Lafitte who called. He was the only one in charge of various affairs in the pirate group and was responsible for contacting spies from all over the place.

"Captain, I just received a bad news..." Lafitte hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone.

"Bad news?" Moriah looked at the mother and daughter who were looking through him, and gave them a look, telling them not to worry about him.

Moria put a bowl of red earrings into his mouth, walked out the door and asked: "What happened exactly?"

"Our Proverbs Ark encountered an accident during the test flight and was hijacked by a mysterious person!" Lafitte then added: "According to the news, the other party has golden hair and can fly in the air..."

"Golden hair? Can fly?"

A person who meets these two characteristics...

"Could it be..." Instantly a name appeared in Moria's mind.

Golden Lion, Shiki!
