Chapter 196: A Substitute for the Peach

Inside Lin Yu's bedroom.

Sister Tina, holding a Den Den Mushi bearing the Navy emblem, lay in Lin Yu's arms and yawned wearily.

If Lin Yu had not asked her to notify Zhanguo about Moria, she would have collapsed and slept right then, just like Rebecca.

Since her last conversation with Marshal Zhanguo, Sister Tina had kept this Den Den Mushi capable of contacting the Navy.

After several days of sailing, Lin Yu's three-masted island ship had already left the Devil's Triangle and arrived in waters near the nearest Navy base, allowing Sister Tina to use the base's signal to notify Marshal Zhanguo.

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Brannew, hearing it was Sister Tina, immediately perked up and asked in a deep voice:

"Sister Tina, do you have anything to report?"

As the intelligence officer, Brannew was the only person in the Navy who knew about Marshal Zhanguo making a deal with the criminal Lin Yu.

Moreover, Zhanguo had instructed him that Sister Tina was currently executing a covert mission beside Lin Yu, so calls would occasionally come to his Den Den Mushi, and he must pay close attention.

Sister Tina shifted to a more comfortable position in Lin Yu's arms and said:

"Lin Yu has just killed one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Gecko Moria. Tell Marshal Zhanguo about this."

"Ask him to help cover it up so others do not find out."

"Because Lin Yu intends to use Moria's Warlord identity to join the war against Bai Huzi."

"That's all."

Having finished speaking, Sister Tina hung up the phone directly.

"Haa~ Are you satisfied now?"

Sister Tina placed the Den Den Mushi on the nightstand and yawned.

As for why Lin Yu wanted to use Moria's identity to participate in the Summit War, Sister Tina did not know, nor did she want to know.

Now extremely exhausted, she only wanted to get a good sleep.

"Of course I'm satisfied; even just now, I was very satisfied." Hearing this, Lin Yu smiled.

"Sister Tina is tired; Sister Tina wants to sleep."

Hearing Lin Yu's double entendre, Sister Tina glared at Lin Yu and collapsed into sleep.

Lin Yu chuckled softly, kissed Sister Tina and Rebecca on their cheeks, then stood up and got out of bed.

Before the Summit War, the Navy would send people to invite all the Warlords to attend; by then, Lin Yu's killing of Gecko Moria would certainly be impossible to hide.

Since that was the case, he might as well tell Zhanguo directly and ask Zhanguo to help cover it up.

As for whether Zhanguo would agree, Lin Yu did not care.

He was merely using this to paralyze Zhanguo, making Zhanguo truly believe he intended to use Moria's identity to participate in the Summit War, thereby facilitating his covert actions.

Stepping out onto the balcony of the bedroom, Lin Yu leaned against the railing, admiring the Thousand Sunny under the moonlight, and pondered his next moves.

Suddenly, he saw several sneaky figures appearing and disappearing among the trees in the distance.

"Are there other people hiding on this island?"

Lin Yu frowned, transformed into Lei Guang, and rushed forward.

Zzzt!

Lei Guang landed among the figures and exploded violently, instantly striking those several sneaky figures.

Seeing the figures below stunned by the electric shock, Lin Yu suddenly understood.

"So it was Lola..."

"I had forgotten that this ship still had such a person on it."

Inside the Navy Headquarters Intelligence Room.

'Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, has actually been killed by Lin Yu...'

Brannew, still holding the receiver up, thought with some shock.

Although Brannew knew Lin Yu had already committed numerous unforgivable crimes and knew the opponent possessed the power of a Great Swordsman capable of instantly killing ordinary CP0 members.

But this time, it was Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who had died.

He was a formidable figure who could stand toe-to-toe with the Emperor Kaido more than ten years ago.

This was already a famous pirate in the Grand Line!

Yet he was killed by Lin Yu just like that...

Putting down the receiver, Brannew frowned, pondering whether to report this matter to Marshal Zhanguo immediately.

It was now late at night; Marshal Zhanguo had obviously already gone to rest, and disturbing him now would likely result in a scolding.

However, the death of Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was extremely significant and must be reported as soon as possible.

"Forget it; at worst, I'll just get scolded once."

Thinking this, Brannew pushed open the door and ran towards Zhanguo's resting room.

Inside the Marshal's office.

"Karp, I have already eaten three hundred and fifteen rice crackers."

Buddha Zhanguo, his belly swollen and round, lay on the Marshal's seat, panting heavily.

Normally, he would have been asleep by this time, but this old rascal Karp had come to challenge him to a rice cracker-eating contest, claiming he had already set a new record.

To this, Zhanguo, as the record holder, naturally did not believe him.

Thus, the two had been eating from dusk until late at night.

"Zhanguo, I am at three hundred and sixteen, hehehe."

Karp glanced at Zhanguo, chuckled, then threw his head back and fell asleep, blowing a large snot bubble.

His rice cracker-eating contests with Zhanguo usually lasted several days; staying up late to eat rice crackers was nothing new to him; this was just the beginning. To fight a long war, he had to take time to rest.

"Tsk!"

Zhanguo looked at Karp with displeasure and stuffed another rice cracker into his mouth.

"Three hundred and sixteen!"

Knock, knock, knock!!!

Hearing the knock, Sengoku turned to glance at the sleeping Garp, then rose and walked out the door.

On the corridor outside the Fleet Admiral's office, Sengoku, looking relaxed as the sea breeze brushed his face, glanced at Brannew and asked:

"What is it?"

Brannew wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Sister Tina just sent word that Lin Yu has killed Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"What did you say!"

"Moria was killed by Lin Yu?"

Upon hearing this, Sengoku was instantly startled.

The Navy is currently drawing troops from all over the world to prepare for Bai Huzi, yet Lin Yu kills Moria, one of the Navy's allies, at this critical juncture—isn't this just adding to the chaos!

"Are you certain Moria is dead?" Sengoku asked Brannew seriously.

The killing of Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is no small matter; it must be confirmed clearly.

"I have already gone to confirm with the Navy soldiers whose shadows Moria stole, and their shadows have indeed returned."
