Chapter 171: Thank You

West Sea, the sea area of Thriller Bark

The clear, bright moonlight spilled onto the deck, accompanying the moonlight as a banquet was held on the Donghai Dihuang to welcome Moria and Perona aboard.

Jin Ni held little Perona, kissing and feeding her, clearly overflowing with maternal love.

"Jin Ni." Saint Saint Saiwen raised his wine glass.

"Once we reclaim Inazuma, we'll be settled. You love children so much, hurry up and have more with Kuma; this captain will cover the milk money."

Relying on the Golden Country and the gold mines of Honey Island, along with Trezolo's management over the past year and more.

The Morning Star Pirates almost lacked no liquid capital, even having spare funds to aid the Revolutionary Army.

Of course, this money was temporarily lent to Harald to solve his crisis; even if Elbaph later became Saint Saint Saiwen's sphere of influence, Harald would still have to repay it.

One thing is one thing.

Public accounts and private accounts must be clearly distinguished.

The Sky Island is Saint Saint Saiwen's personal asset and must be strictly separated from the territories under the Morning Star Pirates.

Jin Ni secretly glanced at Kuma, found that Kuma was just smiling gently, then puffed out her cheeks and said.

"Captain."

"If it's a boy, he'll be your disciple; if it's a girl, you'll be the godfather."

"It's settled, you're not allowed to go back on your word."

With the captain present, the children's safety was at least guaranteed, and there was no need to worry about the World Government coveting the Baroque Works bloodline that Kuma was related to.

If the children could later become disciples and learn thirty percent of the captain's skills, Jin Ni would be very satisfied.

"No problem." Saint Saint Saiwen said cheerfully: "All your children will be under this captain's protection."

"Senior Shi Ji."

"You should also consider having a child."

Jin Shizi never expected that being urged to have children would fall on him; being urged by a nineteen-year-old captain at over fifty years old.

"Jehahaha~"

"Captain, this matter does not require your concern."

Once Wano Country is taken, we must start searching for pure gold; about to become the Eternal Lion, what need is there for descendants?

Do you want to be like the old man Garp, who, despite being a Navy hero, has a son who is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and is wholeheartedly determined to overthrow the World Government?

Adding trouble to yourself for no reason?

Even if you want descendants, there is no rush; once pure gold is found, there will be plenty of time to be carefree later.

Children are better in other people's families; if they cry from playing, you can give them back.

Your own children will only cry more the more you beat them.

"Captain." Moria interjected and asked.

"How long will they be fighting?"

He asked this because Moria was worried that Mihawk would not hold back his strength and chop the corpse of Shimotsuki Ryuma into several pieces.

This was the strongest zombie under Moria.

Once damaged, there would truly be no way to fix it.

At this time, Moria had not yet met the genius surgeon Hogback and could not stitch up damaged zombies, which is why he had this worry.

"Look, you're anxious again." Saint Saint Saiwen teased.

"After the affairs in Wano Country are settled, I'll take you to a good place to stock up; whether it's corpses or shadows, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Saint Saint Saiwen planned to take away all the prisoners imprisoned in the sixth level of Impel Down, the Infinite Hell.

Prisoners he liked would be recruited; prisoners he didn't like would have to serve as shadow human chakras, completely squeezing out the remaining value of these prisoners.

Hearing this, Moria's eyes sparkled with light, and he no longer asked about Shimotsuki Ryuma.

"A place that the captain calls a good place."

"I'm really looking forward to it."

What Shimotsuki Ryuma? I'm not really familiar with him.

If he gets smashed, he gets smashed.

Compared to the fun and games in the banquet hall, Foxy was chatting with Donquixote Rosinante at the bow.

"I never expected you to be an undercover agent too."

Foxy sighed: "I always thought that among the three trainees on the ship, only I was a fake pirate."

Rosinante shrugged.

"I also thought only I was a fake pirate, and even specifically followed you to learn pirate habits."

"I didn't expect everyone to be undercover agents."

"Now that we've killed the Celestial Dragons, we can only follow the captain all the way; once we leave the captain's protection, we will surely be executed by the World Government."

"At least you awakened your Conqueror's Haki."

"I just got into the habit of killing, and Akainu ordered the Navy to launch an attack; I should have killed a few more if I had known."

Perhaps because Rosinante himself was a descendant of the Celestial Dragons, even after killing two Celestial Dragons, there were still no signs of awakening Conqueror's Haki.

"Hehe." Foxy pouted.

"Whether we live or die in the future, I have already made up my mind to follow the captain and walk this path forever."

"By the way."

"Your mind is sharp; help me analyze how the captain discovered we were undercover agents. I thought I hid myself very well."

Rosinante spread his hands.

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Regarding how the exposure happened, Corino suspected that while transmitting intelligence via the Den Den Mushi, the executives intercepted the code words, thereby revealing his identity.

"That guy Vergo, I don't know if the Captain silenced him or assigned him elsewhere."

Foxy hesitated.

"He probably wasn't silenced."

"Although the Captain is ruthless to enemies, he is extremely good to his own people. That guy Vergo must have some important mission."

While the two chatted,

the Lightning Squirrel Tingle bounced over and, without a word, kicked both of them in the buttocks.

By the time the two got up, they happened to see Saint Saint Saiwen raising his glass from afar with a strange smile.

"I'm done for," Foxy muttered, realizing something was wrong.

Having successfully joined the Morning Star Pirates made him a bit carried away, daring to discuss the Captain on the ship.

He heard from Senior Xiliu that the Captain records all the mistakes the crew makes in a little notebook... saving them up for a year-end settlement of merits and faults.

I'm done for; don't even think about being promoted to executive this year.

The banquet on the deck continued until late at night.

With a slash that cleaved the sky, Mihawk won the final duel against the zombie Ryuma.

Ryuma knelt half on the ground, supporting his body with the sword Autumn Water: "Young Great Swordsman, you already hold the Black Blade in your hand; why do you insist on demanding Autumn Water?"

Mihawk sheathed the Black Blade Yoru.

"The Captain wants to liberate Wano Country and establish a nation where everyone can eat their fill."

"For Wano Country, Autumn Water is crucial."

Ryuma was stunned for a moment.

"Everyone can eat their fill?"

"I seem to have once promised a Miss to return and share a meal."

"Unfortunately, I broke that promise."

After slaying the dragon, Shimotsuki Ryuma continued to wander everywhere; later, he even guarded Wano Country, making the World Government dare not harbor any strange thoughts toward Wano.

Yet in the end, he missed the appointment.

Having spoken, Ryuma tossed Autumn Water to Mihawk; his long-corrupted body slowly turned to ash, a smile of relief and release appearing on his face.

"Go eat a meal for me."

"Thank you."

Watching Shimotsuki Ryuma's body about to completely scatter with the wind, Mihawk removed his top hat.

"Very well."

Shortly after, Mihawk returned to the Donghai Dihuang and handed the Black Blade Autumn Water to Saint Saint Saiwen.

"He said thank you."

Saint Saint Saiwen stared at the shadow that reappeared under the moonlight.

"This is what I should do."

Now everything is ready; it is time to head to Wano Country, drive out the old bastard Kaido, and save the suffering and distressed Yamato... and the people of Wano Country.

Saint Saint Saiwen had heard from Vergo that Kaido often beats Yamato until his face is bruised and swollen.

"Mihawk-san, set sail."
