Chapter 113

He went straight to Moria's front.

His eyes were calm, looking down on the weak as a strong man would.

Moria was awakened by Perona's crying.

He was startled.

Just now, the Shadow Horn Spear was one of his few ultimate moves, yet Luo Xing had crushed it with one hand; how could the other be so strong?

Moria's face shifted between gloom and anger, showing fear, but mostly rage.

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

Even though he lost terribly, he was still a hero of his generation.

But today,

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

Moria could not bear such humiliation; the muscles of his face twitched repeatedly.

Seeing Luo Xing approach, Moria angrily threw a punch and roared:

"Who do you think I am!"

"When I ruled the seas, you weren't even born!"

However, his rage-fueled punch was swatted away by Luo Xing with a casual slap.

Moria rolled clumsily more than ten meters away, blood staining his mouth, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Why?

Why was this young man so strong? He, the great Gecko Moria, had no means to fight back?

Impossible! Even when facing Kaido back then, he, Moria, could have fought for dozens of rounds!

"My lord Moria!"

Seeing Moria injured, Perona flew over immediately, glaring at Luo Xing with red-rimmed eyes.

"Do not hurt my lord Moria again!"

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

"You are very puzzled why I am so strong?"

Moria bit his teeth tightly.

Though he did not nod in acknowledgment, it was a form of admission.

He was indeed extremely puzzled about this.

Luo Xing's voice said:

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

Upon hearing this, Moria's body suddenly trembled violently, and his face turned extremely ugly.

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

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

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

"Moria, you are now so weak that you do not even deserve the title of Warlord of the Sea!"

As the saying goes, killing a man requires killing his heart; Moria was so provoked by Luo Xing's words that his eyes turned red and his body trembled.

He ground his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, and breathed heavily:

"You bastard..."

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

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

Moria suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly; though he was in a sorry state, his eyes still brimmed with defiance, and he shrieked:

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

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

"I am Gecko Moria!"

It must be said that even though Moria's strength was not what it once was, he still possessed a trace of heroic spirit.

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, after Blackbeard became an Emperor, he also tried to recruit Moria; he did not know if he succeeded.

But judging by the current situation, Luo Xing should have failed.

"Your answer is disappointing, so I must ask you to die."

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

"No!"

Perona screamed loudly and stood in front of Luo Xing.

This usually willful and spoiled ghost chili pepper now had tears filling her large eyes, and her delicate face was full of pleading.

"Fifth... Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, my lord, please do not kill my lord Moria, okay? Whatever your demands are, I will agree to them!"

For Perona, although Moria was not her biological father, he was almost the same.

In the original story.

Upon learning the news that Moria was still alive, Perona immediately left Hawk Eyes' territory and traveled a thousand miles just to find Moria.

In short,

although Moria had a thousand faults, he was impeccable towards his subordinates and could win their willing loyalty.

Perona's plea made Moria feel even more ashamed.

When did Moria ever sink to the point where his subordinates had to beg for his life!

"Move aside, Perona!"

Moria let out a low growl:

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

"My lord Moria..." Perona looked at Moria with tears welling in her eyes.

At that moment.

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

Absalom suddenly threw himself to his knees before Luo Xing's feet, kowtowing heavily:

"My lord of the Five Emperors, please kill me, but do not harm my lord Moria!"

This scene reminded Luo Xing of when the Straw Hat Pirates, after defeating Moria, were confronted by Bartholomew Kuma.

Kuma pretended to kill Luffy, and both Zoro and Sanji rushed to offer their lives in Luffy's place.

Zoro even spoke a classic line of a true man, yet nothing happened.

Seeing Perona plead for him and Absalom kneel for him, this arrogant man who was ruthless to his enemies could not help but shed tears.

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

Luo Xing's calm voice sounded:

"Truly a moving scene, but it changes nothing in reality."

Luo Xing passed through Perona's spirit body, walked up to Moria, and pointed his pistol at Moria's forehead.

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

Luo Xing, as if he heard nothing, said to Moria:

"Guess whether there are bullets in my gun?"

"Hah?"

Moria, who was in the midst of painful struggle, was stunned by this question.

Luo Xing continued on his own:

"This is a three-chambered gun with only one bullet inside; I will pull the trigger twice."

"If you are very unlucky and get shot dead, your subordinates will die too."

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

"Then, let us begin this game of death."

Moria was dumbfounded, and Perona, Absalom, Hogback, and other subordinates behind him were also (Li Li Hao) all dumbfounded.

Bang~

Luo Xing pulled the trigger.
