Chapter 110

He walked straight up to Moria.

His gaze was calm, carrying the condescension of the strong looking down on the weak.

Moria was startled awake by Perona's crying.

He was struck with horror.

The Shadow Spear was one of his few major moves, yet it had been crushed by Luo Xing with one hand; how could the opponent be this strong?

Moria's expression was uncertain, filled with apprehension, but even more so with irritation.

Back in the day, he had clashed directly with Kaido of the Beasts.

Even though he had been defeated miserably, he was still an overlord of his generation.

But today,

Was he actually being looked down upon by Kaido's son-in-law, a mere junior?

Moria could not endure such humiliation; the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably.

Seeing Luo Xing approach him, Moria threw a punch in anger and roared:

"Who do you think I am!"

"When I was rampaging across the seas, you weren't even born yet!"

However, his punch, thrown in anger, was swatted away by Luo Xing with a casual slap.

Moria rolled away in a sorry state for over ten meters, blood at the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Why?

Why was this young man so strong that he, the dignified Gecko Moria, had no power to fight back?

It's impossible; even when facing Kaido back then, he, Moria, could fight for dozens of rounds!

"Moria-sama!"

Seeing Moria injured, Perona flew over in a hurry, her red eyes glaring at Luo Xing.

"Don't you dare hurt Moria-sama again!"

Luo Xing ignored Perona and glanced at Moria on the ground, saying slowly:

"Are you confused about why I am so strong?"

Moria gritted his teeth tightly.

Although he didn't nod in admission, it was a form of tacit agreement.

He was indeed extremely confused about this point.

Luo Xing's voice sounded:

"Actually, it's not that I am too strong, but that you are too weak, Gecko Moria."

As soon as these words were spoken, Moria's body shook violently, and his complexion became extremely ugly.

Luo Xing looked down at Moria with a pitying gaze and continued:

"More than ten years ago, although you lost to my father-in-law Kaido, at that time, you could still be called an overlord, a strong man."

"But now, you are bloated, arrogant, and have hidden in this Thriller Bark for ten years without ever fighting anyone."

"Moria, you have become so weak now that you don't even deserve the title of Warlord of the Sea!"

This was truly killing the heart; Moria was so stimulated by Luo Xing's words that his eyes turned blood-red and his body trembled.

He gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly, his breathing heavy:

"You bastard..."

"However, although you are weak now, you are not entirely useless," Luo Xing said. "Your zombie legion is of great use to me."

"So Moria, I can give you a chance to submit to my Beasts Pirates."

Moria suddenly looked up and laughed loudly. Although he was in a sorry state, his eyes were still filled with defiance as he shrieked:

"Make me submit to the Beasts, submit to Kaido? That is simply a huge joke!"

"Even if I die, I will never do such a thing as surrender to an enemy!"

"I am Gecko Moria!"

It must be said that even though Moria's strength was not what it used to be, he still possessed a trace of an overlord's temperament.

Making him bow his head was not that easy.

Luo Xing was not too surprised by Moria's answer.

He remembered that in the original story, Blackbeard, after becoming one of the Four Emperors, had also tried to recruit Moria; he didn't know if it had succeeded.

But looking at the current situation, Luo Xing seemed to have failed.

"Your answer is regrettable, then I can only ask you to die."

Luo Xing took out a small pistol and aimed it at Moria.

"No!"

Perona screamed loudly, blocking in front of Luo Xing.

This usually willful and capricious little ghost pepper now had large eyes filled with tears, her delicate face full of pleading.

"Fifth... Fifth Emperor Luo Xing-sama, please don't kill Moria-sama, okay? Whatever you want, I will agree to it!"

For Perona, although Moria was not her biological father, it was not much different.

In the original story.

Upon learning the news that Moria was still alive, Perona immediately left Mihawk's territory and traveled thousands of miles to find Moria.

In short,

Moria might have a thousand faults, but he was truly good to his subordinates, enough to earn their willing loyalty.

Perona's plea made Moria feel even more humiliated.

When had he, Moria, fallen to the point where his subordinates had to beg for mercy for him!

"Move aside, Perona!"

Moria let out a low growl:

"Even if I die, I will never beg anyone for mercy!"

"Moria-sama..." Perona looked at Moria with teary eyes.

At this moment.

Absalom, who had just been knocked out by Luo Xing's Conqueror's Haki, also woke up.

Absalom actually knelt down at Luo Xing's feet with a thud and kowtowed heavily:

"Fifth Emperor-sama, please kill me instead, don't hurt Moria-sama!"

This scene reminded Luo Xing of when the Straw Hat crew was confronted by Bartholomew Kuma after defeating Moria.

Kuma pretended he was going to kill Luffy, and Zoro and Sanji both scrambled to die for Luffy.

Zoro even said a classic line for a real man: "Nothing happened."

Seeing Perona pleading for him and Absalom kneeling for him, this defiant man who was ruthless to his enemies couldn't help but shed tears.

"You two... why won't you let me die in peace..."

Luo Xing's calm voice rang out:

"A truly moving scene, but it doesn't change the reality."

Luo Xing passed through Perona's soul body, walked up to Moria, and aimed the pistol at the center of Moria's brow.

Perona and Absalom both screamed in terror: "No!"

Luo Xing ignored them and said to Moria:

"Guess if there is a bullet in my gun?"

"Huh?"

Moria, who was experiencing a painful struggle, was stunned by this sentence.

Luo Xing said to himself:

"This is a three-shot gun, but there is only one bullet inside. I will pull the trigger twice."

"If you are unlucky enough to be hit and die, your subordinates will also die."

"If you are lucky enough to survive, your subordinates will still die."

"So, let us begin, this death game."

Moria was stunned, and Perona, Absalom, Hogback, and the other subordinates of Moria behind him were also stunned.

Bang~

Luo Xing pulled the trigger.
