The moonlight on the sea is sometimes an intoxicating red.
Reflected on the deep sea, it looked like a whole boat of red wine had suddenly been dumped.
Weird and extremely alluring at the same time.
Of course, it's also possible that what's dumped is...
Blood.
There was a pop.
A maroon-colored pirate ship.
A tall man wearing a pirate captain's hat threw a nobleman dressed in luxurious silk into the sea like a throwing bag.
There was bright red blood oozing out from the noble's body.
Like the red Phalaenopsis suddenly blooming on this intoxicating sea.
The pirate captain's eyes were slightly confused, but he couldn't help but take a sip of the tequila with precious carvings in his hand.
This is the noble's collection and their trophy.
Compared with this kind of strong liquor, the ones he drank before could only be called wheat juice.
It doesn't stop there, either.
On the somewhat dirty deck, there were a few inhuman corpses randomly abandoned.
There are men and women.
These are all the spoils of their robbery.
The sour-smelling pirates enjoyed wine and meat wantonly, and as reward they killed several unarmed civilians and burned a village that only knew how to beg for mercy to ashes.
The feasting and cheering of accomplices can suppress all unnecessary emotions.
Only pleasure remains.
Someone asked impatiently: "Captain, when will we go to the next village!"
"You bitch, how long have you been out at sea and are you thinking about the next village?!"
The captain licked the mouth of the bottle and tossed it away.
The gorgeous wine bottle hit the deck and shattered instantly.
"Wait!"
"I would rather take a few more days of detour to avoid that thick foggy sea area."
"Then we are going to the Chambord Islands. I heard that there is a lot of chaos there now."
"Go to hell!" The pirate captain grabbed another bottle of wine from his men and staggered on his feet.
"I went to sea for money and women, why should I compete with those monsters?"
"Do you think I'm a lunatic like a clown?"
"Yes, women and money!"
"And wine and meat!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The crew members kept echoing.
The wanton laughter immediately heated up the atmosphere on the boat.
The pirate captain took another sip, and the taste was incomparable to the bottle of tequila.
But he enjoyed this half-drunk feeling.
Looking at the crimson moonlight, the shallow white mist covered the turbulent sea.
"Compared with those monsters, I'd rather hit a ghost, hehehe."
The pirate captain couldn't help but laugh at his own thoughts.
The smile didn't stop.
A raging wave hit the ship directly under the cover of white mist.
The violent shaking and the increasingly dense color of the fog instantly awakened the pirate group that had been wandering in the paradise section.
"...What's there?!"
"There's something moving under the water!"
"Fuck your mother!"
The pirate captain swung the bottle of wine in disbelief, took out the sword from his waist and pointed it at Bai Wu.
"I'm a sea——"
The pirate captain's words suddenly stopped.
He saw...
Suddenly, a terrifying gecko head comparable to the size of a sea king emerged from the white mist.
Then another raging sea current hit.
The gecko dragged its palms, which were similar to those of frogs, towards the ground.
The pirate captain saw it more clearly.
But this is a clearer scene.
The courage he had inspired by the strong drink disappeared in an instant!
This is a huge gecko that has been dead for who knows how long but is still parading on the sea.
Half of its head was covered with erosion.
The other half of the face looked like it was horribly swollen after being soaked in water for who knows how many years.
Even the skin is pale white.
The solitary eyeballs that occasionally rotate are even more chilling.
"Sail, there is a sail!"
The crew pointed tremblingly at the night sky.
A completely black skull sail emerged from the white mist. On both sides of the white skull's head, there was a circle of swaying dark flames.
Under the black sail is an island standing on the back of a dead gecko.
The pirate captain seemed to remember something, stared at the black sail and murmured:
"Moonlight...Molia..."
The former Shichibukai...
After more than ten years of silence, people have forgotten that this terrifying ghost ship in the original Shichibukai only sailed at night, and once set off countless terrifying legends on the sea.
The gecko's terrifying head slowly swam past their pirate ship.
The remaining pale pupil seemed not to look at them.
The gecko's movements were very gentle, and if it weren't for the turbulent currents under the mist, they wouldn't have noticed it so early.
It left us alone!
The pirate captain was about to burst into tears, and his heart suddenly dropped.
Fortunately, okay, we are just inconspicuous little pirates.
He turned his back, and his face, which was originally red from drunkenness, had already turned pale.
"leave here...."
Before the pirate captain finished speaking, he felt a cold air running from his back to his tailbone all the way to Tianling Gai.
The gecko quietly turned its head.
Opening his mouth, the long rotten tongue rolled up the entire pirate ship.
There was a bang.
Swallow the pirate ship whole.
...
...
Standing on top of the black sail, Bucky took in everything.
He had been wondering what Moria's ship was powered by.
Now the answer to the question is clear.
A dead gecko, or a long-dead gecko-shaped Neptune.
The skin is similar to Moria's pale skin, with a vague layer of smooth mucous membrane on it.
This method is probably used to avoid the weakness of Moria's shadow control, which will fail when encountering sea water.
As for why this gecko can float on the sea and even support a weight the size of an island...
Bucky thought of the stench coming out of the gecko's intestines when it opened its mouth.
This is the same reason why dead people float.
The body of this giant gecko has long been corrupted and deteriorated, and the various gases generated from this have supported his huge body.
Moria, on the other hand, drives the gecko through shadow control.
But what Bucky was not sure about was whether there was a gecko corpse first and then Moriah built the island on the corpse's back, or whether the gecko had already carried the island on its back.
After all, the difficulty of building an island is far beyond that of a pirate ship.
"Hehehehe!"
"Go ahead, ship of terror, I must let the world government know the terror of Uncle Moria!"
not far away.
Moria rarely picked up his long knife again, pointed at the deserted night sky and kept shouting.
I don't know if it was because of too much blood loss. Moriah's size shrunk by two full circles, but the long knife of his youth was still a bit small in his hand.
A passionate look.
It seems that I still have a little too much black.
Bucky touched his chin and bit the corner of his mouth.
He thought of a more interesting question.
I wonder if this gecko can climb onto the Red Earth Continent?
After all, being able to appear on the Grand Line means that the other party has successfully crossed the barrier of Upside Down Mountain...
