Deathly silence.
In the dark castle palace, the flames on the candlesticks flickered.
Vaguely, you can see Moria's livid face and the blood-red color in his eyes.
Being said such words in front of his face undoubtedly made him feel very angry. The other party's words were no different from humiliation.
"Hehehehehe!"
Smiling in anger, Moriah gritted his teeth and stared at the navy in front of him, almost going crazy.
But out of the corner of his eye, he saw the anxious and worried looks from Absalom and Hogubak on both sides.
In an instant, Moria calmed down, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
He was impulsive!
Who is the man in front of me?
That was the terrifying guy who had already become famous in the world when he was young. He captured the Pirate King Roger and defeated the Golden Lion Shiji.
How old was the other party at that time? Early twenties!
Now that twenty years have passed, it is hard to predict just how terrifying Xia Le's strength is. He is simply not something that a mere Qibukai can touch.
"Besides, does General Xia Le have anything else to do?"
Moria said coldly.
In terms of identity, he is still a Shichibukai, so he can be sure that the opponent as a navy will not take action against him.
"I thought your little remaining self-esteem would support you in taking action against me?"
"It seems that your abilities are even worse than I thought."
Xia Le shook his head, but he still did not hesitate to humiliate Moria in his words.
"you!!!"
Moria was furious.
But Absalom and Hogubak immediately grabbed his left and right arms, winking at him and shaking their heads.
"hehe!"
"Nothing else either."
"It's just that the World Government has already learned that the Straw Hat Boys have arrived at your place."
"They are a little worried that another Shichibukai will be defeated, causing Wukai to lose face."
"That's why I came to ask you."
After a pause, Xia Le sneered.
"Do you need our help?"
Moria clenched his fists, his pride and self-esteem made him clearly feel the disdain and ridicule of the navy in front of him.
"Need not!"
"It's just the Straw Hats, it's easy to deal with them!"
Xia Le nodded and said no more: "In this case, we will leave first."
He turned around quickly and walked out.
This surprised Moria and others, but they also breathed a sigh of relief.
But just as Xia Le walked to the door, he suddenly stopped.
"But I need to remind you!"
"Moonlight Moria!"
"If you lose in the next battle, Wu Hai's reputation will be damaged."
"Then, I'm afraid the consequences you will face are not what you are willing to accept."
After saying this, Xia Le disappeared, followed closely by Xiong.
Moriah gritted his teeth and clenched his hands tightly into fists.
"This bastard man!"
“It’s really ugly to speak!!!”
Absalom and Hogubak looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of helplessness in their eyes.
They were really worried about the conflict between Moria and Xia Le. It was okay for the Straw Hats and the gang, but if they provoked a naval admiral and the Shichibukai.
The result is undoubtedly unimaginable to them.
Outside the castle.
Xia Le and Xiong found a quiet corner where they were not easily discovered.
"Aren't we getting out of here?"
Xiong asked doubtfully.
"I'm more interested in the next scene than leaving."
Xia Le said with a smile.
The bear still had doubts in his eyes, not understanding what the other person said.
But it is very clear that all questions will probably be answered in the future.
Then, time passed.
The two of them saw a fierce but interesting battle in the dark.
The Straw Hat Crew VS Shichibukai Moria.
Xia Le seemed to have little interest in this battle, but Xiong watched it very seriously, almost from beginning to end.
Roronoa Zoro versus the swordsman Ryoma.
Monkey D. Luffy vs. Majin Oz Moria.
In the end, Moria was defeated.
The terrifying three-masted ship was very quiet, and light seemed to be ushering in the darkness. Light penetrated the clouds and fog and fell on the earth.
Xiong sat there quietly, his eyes falling on Xia Le next to him.
He couldn't guess what was going on in this man's mind.
"Bru buru buru!"
Suddenly, the phone bug in the bear's arms rang.
"Take it!"
Xia Le's voice came.
The bear nodded and answered the phone.
"The defeat of Moria is another shame for Wang Xiawuhai."
"Bartholomew Xiong! Wu Hai's reputation cannot be blasphemed. I ask you to kill the culprit who caused this series of consequences."
"The Straw Hats!!"
"In this way, I will protect the reputation of the Seven Warriors Kai!"
An angry voice came from the other side of the phone.
Xia Le raised his eyebrows slightly. He could tell that the voice did not come from any of those five people.
The bear raised his head and glanced at him, as if asking for advice.
Xia Le shook his head, but didn't say much.
Xiong frowned slightly, then hung up the phone. He didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either.
Then, his eyes suddenly shrank.
Because Xia Le in front of him had slowly stood up.
This made Xiong feel a little nervous, worried that the other party was taking action for the Straw Hat Boys.
But the next second, Xia Le's voice came out.
"I once said that if Moriah loses, the price will be more than he is willing to face!"
"Leave this disgrace to the Shichibukai to me!"
After a pause, the words with laughter came again.
"As for the Straw Hats."
"I'll leave it to you!"
Hearing this, Xiong was shocked and nodded slightly.
When he opened his eyes again, Xia Le had transformed into lightning and disappeared.
"The Straw Hats!"
Muttering, the bear's eyes flickered, and he also took steps towards the Straw Hats who were resting at the moment.
And the other side.
Xia Le appeared in front of Moriah almost instantly.
"Xia Le!"
Huogubak and Absalom, who were seriously injured, suddenly became nervous. Perona also opened her eyes wide and looked at the sudden arrival of the navy in front of her in shock.
"Why are you here?"
Xia Le didn't respond, just stared at the group of people in front of him.
Moriah, who was lying on the ground with bruises all over his body, seemed to feel something at this time. He slowly opened his eyes, but when he saw Xia Le, his heart was immediately shocked.
"Xia Le!!!"
Xia Le sneered and stepped forward: "I seem to have said that, Moria."
"If you lose to the Straw Hats and Wu Hai's reputation is damaged, then the price you have to pay may not be what you are willing to bear!"
Hearing this, Moriah's heart trembled. He tried his best to turn his bloated and huge body over and face the sky.
"What do you want?"
Xia Le did not respond, but strode to him.
Then, in Hogubak, Absalom stepped on Moriah's big face with a look of horror and shock.
"You are really a disgrace to Wu Hai!"
"Moonlight Moria!"
With two simple words and actions, the three people next to him all had their eyes breathing fire, and they attacked with all their might.
But all the attacks passed through Xia Le's body and did not hurt him.
"Stop it, it's useless!"
"This man is the most powerful user with the thunder fruit ability in the natural system!"
Moria shouted loudly, stopping his men from taking action.
Then, he stared at Xia Le.
"No matter what you do to me, you can do it, even if you take away my life!"
"But Perona, Absalom, Hogbark, I beg you to let them live!"
Hearing this, Xia Le was silent at first, then grinned and sneered.
The big foot stepped on his face again.
"Look at how embarrassed and weak you are now, Moria!"
"Do you think you are qualified to make conditions with me?"
"I can't believe that you, who are like a puddle of mud, actually had a battle with Kaido, the emperor of the new world!"
When he heard the word Kaido, Moria was shocked, and his eyes immediately flashed with angry blood.
"Kaido!!"
He gritted his teeth and shouted the name like a growl.
If it hadn't been for that man, if it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't have lost all the friends I cherished, and wouldn't have ended up like this.
"How ridiculous, Moonlight Moria!"
"Your current state of embarrassment, desolation, and weakness is in stark contrast to the Emperor of the New World, Kaido!"
"With your current appearance, you can't even deal with a newcomer among pirates."
"Do you also want to fight against the four emperors of the new world?"
"You are such a waste!"
There was unceremonious humiliation in Xia Le's words.
Perona was furious and was about to charge forward again, but was held back by Absalom and Hogubak.
They have all noticed something strange.
As a general, Xia Le seemed to have ulterior motives for humiliating his captain so deliberately.
"I'm not a waste!!"
Moria roared.
His heart was already filled with anger, and hearing that name was enough to drive him crazy, especially at such a point after being defeated by the Straw Hat Kid.
The fragility, anger, and various emotions in the heart will quickly amplify.
"Aren't you a waste?"
"But what does he look like now if he's not trash?"
"You want to defeat Kaido? Want to regain everything you lost?"
"However, you can't do it on your own and will only make everything worse."
"Look at what you look like now. You're as fat as a pig. You've lost confidence in yourself a long time ago. You only keep saying 'Leave it to you'."
"Moriah, you are just a puddle of mud and cannot hold up a wall!"
Xia Le sneered again and again.
The successive words caused an unimaginable impact in Yueguang Moria's heart. He was stunned for a moment, thinking of all the past, and then burst into tears.
"Waste material!"
"Shame on Wu Hai!"
"You have tarnished the word pirate."
Xia Le continued to speak.
Moriah cried even more sadly, and even thought about committing suicide, and her life completely fell into darkness.
Suddenly, with his eyes blurred by tears, a voice suddenly came into his ears.
"So."
"Do you want to become stronger?"
"I want to return to the new world again and defeat the culprit who sank everything you own into the bottom of the sea."
"Want to have another battle with Kaido?"
"Moriah!"
The voice was low, powerful, and full of invisible power of bewitchment.
Moriah was shocked, and his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the man in front of him, who no longer had any sarcastic expression, but stared at him with seriousness and seriousness.
