"Captain Moriah, we can already see the port."
"I see. Same as always, buying supplies costs money, but don't harm ordinary people."
But don't be afraid if someone attacks you. If you encounter that kind of guy, let them know how powerful we are.
You are members of the Moonlight Pirates, my most cherished comrades!
"Yes, Captain Moria!"
The Moonlight Pirates' ship docked at a corner of the harbor. The ship's cook went to the market to buy fruits and vegetables, the navigator inquired about the nearby shipping routes, such as how long it would take to reach the next island, while Moria himself walked into the island with the intention of visiting it.
Even from the outside, one can see that this island is different from others. Compared to the islands Moria has visited before, Firefly Island has a much higher level of technology. The trams that rush by are something Moria has never seen before.
"Captain Moria, this island is really thoughtful. It even has carriages specially prepared for people of larger size."
Unlike trams in the regular world, the trams on Firefly Island have some special carriages.
Besides people like Leriana and Xiong, who are naturally tall, there are quite a few tall people on this sea, though fewer in number, but such people are scattered all over the ocean.
Therefore, many public facilities have taken this into consideration.
Even though Moria's physique hadn't changed and his height was close to seven meters, it actually made things much easier for him.
"But these people are really carefree. They didn't even send anyone to pay attention when a great pirate like Captain Moria landed on the island. The Seven Warlords of the Sea are nothing special."
"How can someone who doesn't even have the courage to go out to sea appreciate the strength of others? I think he's the weakest of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
There weren't many people in the carriage, and Moria didn't stop his subordinates from discussing these matters, since he also agreed with his companions' words.
"Speaking of which, they even keep cats on this tram. Is it to catch mice too?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's just a stray cat that came up from somewhere."
Moriah's men were unaware that their every word and action had already been recorded.
Besides the cats, Ginny was also sitting in a very special chair in the royal city, wearing a strange white helmet on her head, which was connected to a mysterious device behind her.
In addition to its obvious boost to combat power, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit also provides a unique enhancement to Observation Haki.
After Enel ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he combined it with his Observation Haki (also known as the Mantra) to capture special radio waves and read minds throughout the entire Skypiea, monitoring the thoughts of others.
Ginny's device and the helmet Oran gave to the Red Earl can be considered a "matching" device. Redfield's helmet, through a special reverse principle, can limit his own abilities, making Redfield's world a little more peaceful.
Ginny's equipment was recently crafted, and its effect is to enhance radio waves.
Firefly Island is much larger than Sky Island, which gives Ginny the ability to monitor the pirates who have landed there.
"Hmm, a bunch of naive pirates, they don't seem to pose much of a threat at first glance."
"How does this device feel?"
"That's pretty good. With this, it's much easier to lock onto someone, and the scope is much wider. Judging from their captain's idea, he plans to prepare supplies and leave once the log pointer has stored the data."
"That Moria has a bounty of over a hundred million, should we arrest him?"
"There's no need for that. I don't intend to be a model worker for the navy. If he doesn't break the rules here, just let him go."
Oran silently mourned for Moria for a few seconds. The more spirited Moria was now, the more dejected he would become in a few years.
For someone who values companionship, losing all of them would undoubtedly be a tremendous blow.
At this stage, Moria is like Luffy when he first sets sail. It's pointless to tell him what he can't do, as the outcome won't change much.
The original timeline rumor was that Moria and Kaido were roughly equal in strength, with the difference lying in their allies, but Oran felt that this was not the case.
Kaido is stronger than Moria, who ultimately escaped Wano Country only by relying on the unique abilities of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit.
Even if he misjudged, it wouldn't have much of an impact. At most, Moria could only fight Kaido to a standstill, but Kaido's Zoan-type army was already largely complete.
Moria's subordinates couldn't even defeat Kaido's original subordinates, and with the addition of those enhanced by beast-transformation drugs, Moria will likely suffer an even more crushing defeat.
Absalom is still under his command, and what Moria will become in the future is anyone's guess.
If it weren't for that bunch of random beastmen under Kaido's command, I wouldn't have lost.
Oran could even imagine what Moria would say in the future; from this perspective, they seemed destined to become enemies.
"What's wrong, Brother Oran? Do you have a new idea?"
"No, I was just thinking about something else."
Even before encountering Kaido, Oran wouldn't have found Moria particularly troublesome, let alone the dejected Moria. After thinking about it, Oran didn't take Moria to heart, but instead started reading a special letter, a letter from Fishman Island.
Meanwhile, outside Fishman Island, in Fishman Town.
Although it is part of Fishman Island, Fishman Town is not inside Fishman Island, but in the outer area.
The Great Pirate Era had only been going on for a few months, but Fishman Island was the island most severely affected.
Pirates cannot cross the Red Line through official channels of the World Government; they can only use a special passage beneath the Red Line, and Fish-Man Island, located on this crucial route, has become a disaster zone.
"Brother Shaq, someone is looking for you."
A blue robot cat arrived at Shaq's residence. This was Jinbe, then 20 years old. He was one of those who had initially defied Shaq, but had now been defeated and subdued by Shaq.
Shaq was much stronger than he had been back then, and had many more scars on his body. However, he had also achieved his goal and defeated Fishman Street, becoming its recognized leader some time ago.
During this period, he fought frequently. After all, Oran taught him how to be a leader. Strictly speaking, Shaq was busier than the Sea King's army during this time.
"It's me."
"Princess Otohime? No, I should call you Princess Otohime now. Congratulations."
"No need to be so polite, Uncle Shaq, aren't we still friends?"
"Friends are friends, and etiquette is etiquette. I heard you've been giving speeches in the square a lot lately. I hope they're not very effective."
"Sigh, it's still the same old story. Since the Great Pirate Era began, some things have become more complicated."
I'm here to invite you to the wedding. Also, I've sent Mr. Oran a letter on behalf of the Dragon Palace Kingdom.
