Grand Line’s Lord Of Shadows

"Luke-sama, there is Marine..."

"The Marine fleet, a total of five warships, is approaching here!"

Before Luke was ready to fully test the combat effectiveness of Wang Zhi, the No. 1 zombie general.

A swift zombie falcon suddenly fluttered down from a high altitude and reported.

"Oh? Marine?"

Luke raised his eyebrows.

But there was no panic.

Now, he's wearing the identity of Seven Warlords of the Sea, and they have the privilege of legal robbery and immunity from being wanted.

Not to mention, it is just a small fleet; even if he encounters the Admiral from Marine Headquarters, what is there to fear?

"Hehe~hehe~hehe~, do you want to capture them? Luke-sama..." Perona's spirit left her body again, and she floated in the air.

Then she looked at the sea in the distance and was eager to go out again.

"It depends on whether they know each other..."

Luke said calmly: "Furthermore, the Seven Warlords of the Sea cooperate with the World Government, not Marine. Only the World Government has the right to order them, and there is no need to give them face!"

After all, it is a fleet, no matter how small it is.

With his current strength, it is impossible to destroy them all in an instant.

Even if the news is leaked, Marine will infer some clues based on the whereabouts of the Thriller Bark.

Right now, he still needs the identity of a warlord.

There is no need for a head-on confrontation with the Marines.

Soon, a Marine fleet consisting of five warships of different sizes appeared in the sight of Luke and others.

"Vice Admiral Gion…"

On top of the large battleship, a female Marine with long pink hair and a dashing appearance was saluting to the tall and beautiful Vice-Admiral, who was wearing a cloak of justice in front of her.

She loudly reported: "That should be a ship that belongs to one of the Seven Warlords in front of us."

"The Thriller Bark of the Gecko Moria!"

This is no ordinary Vice Admiral from Marine Headquarters.

Instead, it's a powerful Vice Admiral who was listed as a candidate for Admiral.

It is said that she has the overwhelming ability to serve as Admiral of the Headquarters.

It is also the flower of the Marine that countless Marines are fascinated by.

"Gecko Moria?"

Hearing those words, Gion stared at the huge giant ship ahead.

There was a hint of surprise on her pretty face: 

"Didn't you say that guy has been hiding in the Florian Triangle all year around and rarely comes out?"

Information about the Seven Warlords of the Sea, naturally, she, the Vice Admiral from headquarters, still knows some.

Even though she has never dealt with Gecko Moria, she still knows the general situation of the Moria Pirates.

The Thriller Bark suddenly appeared here, which inevitably surprised Gion.

"That should be..."

Hina shook her head and said hesitantly: 

"But... their flag seems to have changed!"

She took out an information manual and kept flipping through it.

Above, there is information about each pirate group. In addition to the captain itself, it also includes some of their key members, pirate flags, pirate ships, and other related information.

Finally, she turned to the Moria Pirates.

It was delivered to Vice-Admiral Gion, and she pointed at the flag on the Thriller Bark.

There is a big difference between the pirate flag of the Moria Pirates in the book and the pirate flag currently hanging on the Thriller Bark.

On the Black flag above, there's a ferocious skull that is extremely eye-catching, with two thigh bones intertwined.

It's like an evil ghost crawling out of hell with its wings spread out, making it daunting.

"Oh?"

Gion raised her eyebrow.

Hina, on the side, bravely took out a small piece of paper from her fourth-dimensional pocket.

On the palm of her hand, the small piece of paper was slowly moving in the direction of the Thriller Bark.

"Vice Admiral Gion ..." Looking at the life card in her palm, she frowned slightly and said: "In the previous fight, I left a Vivre Card on the ship of the One-Eyed Pirates... At this moment, the Vivre Card is pointing towards the Thriller Bark, which means that the One-Eyed Pirates are there!"

A Vivre Card is made from the owner's nails, hair, and other materials.

Not only can it show the owner's life status, but the torn-off parts of the same Vivre Card will attract each other.

When they were fighting the One-Eyed Pirates before.

Considering that One-Eyed Hacks was just a pirate with a bounty of less than 100 million Belly, Gion intended to train her subordinates and did not take action directly.

Instead, she puts Hina in charge of her powerful team.

When the opponent saw that the situation was not going well and wanted to evacuate, Hina decisively used her Bind-Bind Fruit ability to quietly nail part of the Vivre Card torn off to the opponent's pirate ship.

Moreover, the place was specially selected as a relatively hidden part that is not easily noticed.

Therefore, they can always lock the position of the One-Eyed Pirates and bite the opponent tightly.

This is also a method commonly used by Marines to pursue targets.

"It seems that those guys from the One-Eyed Pirates are most likely on the Thriller Bark... signal for negotiation and move closer!" 

Gion said in a deep voice after glancing at the Vivre Card in Hina's hand.

Moreover, the Thriller Bark suddenly changed its flag, which also confused her a little.

Generally speaking, once pirates confirm their pirate flag, they rarely change it.

She made up her mind to find out.

Although the Seven Warlords of the Sea are pirates who are famous on the sea and are invited by the World Government to join them, each one has amazing strength.

Especially for a guy like Gecko Moria, who was able to survive a battle with monsters like Kaido in the New World, his strength is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary pirates.

Especially in the first half of the Grand Line, it is unlikely that any pirate can defeat him.

As Vice Admiral of Marine Headquarters, she felt the need to confirm and find out what happened inside the Moria Pirates.

"Although the Seven Warlords of the Sea are pirates, they have privileges and we have no right to interfere..." Although Hina on the side was a little moved, she still reminded helplessly: "Should I ask for permission from the superiors first?"

"No need to bother; I don't want to conflict with them; it's just normal negotiation!"

Gion waved her hand.

Although her rank is only Vice Admiral.

However, as an admiral candidate, she naturally has the confidence to face the Warlords of the Sea.

"We have been eyeing that group for a long time, and we can't just give it to them so easily!"
