Chapter 96 The MADS 4, Attack on Moria
"Gurala la la..."
The white-bearded man smiled calmly.
"Stusi, just be a little more patient."
"It's normal that they haven't arrived yet, as there's still an hour until our agreed time."
"However, if they really dare to go over time, I will absolutely not let them get away with it!"
At this point, a hint of murderous intent flashed in the gentle white-bearded man's eyes.
"I'm Whitebeard! Nobody dares to stand me up!!"
Hearing this, Bakkin felt much better.
In the blink of an eye, another half hour had passed.
There was still half an hour until the time Whitebeard and his crew had agreed upon.
The four people, each with a distinct appearance, strolled over here with an air of indifference, seemingly oblivious to their surroundings.
"Hey Vegapunk, is it really necessary to arrive half an hour early? We're scientists! Time is life! Arriving on time is the only way to avoid wasting any extra time!"
A young man with goat horns on his head and a mushroom-shaped haircut complained impatiently.
"This is etiquette! Etiquette!!"
A young man with an enormous head, whose forehead was almost as tall as his body, explained helplessly:
"They're guests! And they're willing to invest in our research institute. We arrived half an hour early, so what?!"
"Judge, as a descendant of royalty, tell me, isn't this the truth?!"
A young man with a bitter and resentful expression and disheveled blond hair glanced at the big head.
"According to royal etiquette, choosing a place like a bar to meet is already embarrassing enough!"
Big Head sighed helplessly; his teammates were truly a bunch of problem children.
Just then, the last member of the group of four...
A young man with fiery mohawk-blonde hair, wearing sunglasses, a well-proportioned figure, and a wildly unrestrained expression, smiled and said:
"Hahaha... The sooner we finish this talk, the sooner we can go have some fun!"
"Little Caesar, don't you even know such a simple principle?"
Upon hearing this, the young man with the sheep's horns, who had been full of resentment, suddenly looked enlightened.
Then he glanced furtively in the direction of Kabukicho.
"Quinn's right! The sooner we get the money, the sooner we can have some fun! Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
During their casual conversation, the four of them arrived at the agreed-upon bar.
"Too slow! You guys!!"
Bakin stood on the edge of the second floor, looking down at them with an impatient expression.
"What are you waiting for! There's still a full half hour until the agreed time!!"
Young Caesar tapped his wristwatch with a displeased expression.
Just as he was about to continue his rebuttal, the white-bearded figure appeared next to Bakkin on the second floor.
"Yes...it's because you arrived too early..."
Caesar muttered to himself.
He knew Whitebeard.
Even though they weren't familiar with each other before, after Bakkin made a promise with them through a Den Den Mushi, they got to know Whitebeard by investigating Bakkin's information.
"Cough! Cough!!"
The leader of the group, Vegapunk with the big head, coughed twice.
"We apologize for keeping you waiting. We thought you would arrive on time, so we only arrived half an hour early. Please forgive us."
"It's alright," the white-bearded man said calmly. "As long as I'm not late."
Seeing that Whitebeard wasn't angry, Vegapunk immediately smiled and said, "In that case, let's cut to the chase and get straight to the point!"
……
An hour later.
Both sides achieved the results they desired in the negotiations.
Bagingom Stussy joined the group with his own investment and officially became a member of the MADS Institute, while also enjoying 10% of the profits from all future research results of the institute.
The MADS Research Institute successfully acquired the vast treasure that Bagingom Stussy had possessed since the Rocks Pirates disintegrated.
Whitebeard Edward Newgate also successfully got rid of Barkin, who was a burden.
From now on, he can finally unleash his full potential, truly build his own pirate crew, and search for the family he has always dreamed of.
Of course, the above is the result of the negotiations, and it does not mean that they will leave the island immediately after the talks.
"Hahaha... The money's in hand! It's a huge sum!!"
The man with the mohawk chuckled wickedly, "Little Caesar, how about I take you out for some fun?!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh, brother Sain, aren't you afraid your wife will get angry?"
"Hahaha, she's busy taking care of the kids, she doesn't have time to bother with me!"
Thane then looked at Judge, who had a bitter and resentful face, and Vegapunk, who had a big head, and asked, "Do you two want to come along?"
“一起一起！”
"It's a rare treat to get out and relax. As the saying goes, you need to balance work and rest to be more efficient at work!"
The four members of MADS chatted idly, spouting crude jokes, as they walked away.
Whitebeard looked at Bakkin with a slight worry.
The two had certainly done their share of intimate acts, and while they weren't exactly husband and wife, they were far more than just friends.
"Stusi, can they really be trusted?"
"Don't worry, Newgate."
Barkin said, "These four bastards may seem unreliable, but in today's scientific community, it's almost impossible to find scientists stronger than them!"
"Besides, putting aside the others, Vegapunk's character is still trustworthy!"
Upon hearing this, the white-bearded man nodded slightly.
"I trust your judgment."
Then, Whitebeard continued, "I will stay on the island for a while longer, until you board the MADS research ship and officially leave with them."
“Newgate…”
Bakkin turned her head and gazed affectionately at the white beard.
"You are the best man in the world!"
"Gurala la la..."
………………
Time flew by, and soon it was late at night.
Unlike other islands that cease all activities and go to sleep early, Zhenxiang Island is not shrouded in darkness at night.
On the contrary, its popularity has only grown stronger.
Bright lights, bustling activity, and decadent indulgence.
Its level of prosperity is on a completely different level compared to the daytime.
Almost the entire island has been transformed into a brightly lit city that never sleeps.
And amidst this prosperous scene of singing and dancing...
The Beasts Pirates fleet has been sailing for two full days and 1.5 nights.
We finally arrived at the waters near Zhenxiang Island.
Moria stood at the bow of the ship, holding a telescope, gazing at the interior of the Island of Never Sleeps.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you bastards really had a lot of fun!!"
Last time on Corne Island, he was tied up like a dumpling because of a moment of carelessness.
As a result, he made no contribution in the battle that night and instead became a burden.
Therefore, when the spoils were distributed in the end, he did not receive a single penny.
This made the self-important Moria quite unhappy.
"I'm a damn confident guy who can take on Kaido one-on-one!"
'And now I'm stuck being an intern on a ship!'
There was another crew member who was also an intern, named Mischina Olga.
However, Olga has now become a Mythical Zoan user and is treated like a reserve officer.
So far, Moria is the only one who is actually doing odd jobs as an intern.
"This time, I must achieve enough merit to qualify for promotion to cadre!"
Moria made a silent vow in his heart.
Port, shore.
Every night, the port of Chan Heong Island is always bustling with activity.
The dignitaries from other islands always liked to come to Zhenxiang Island for a night of revelry under the cover of night.
As a result, the port is always packed with ships every night.
However, even so, the security personnel will not let any suspicious vessel slip by.
Therefore, when the Beasts Pirates got close enough to observe the island's interior through binoculars, they were naturally spotted by the island's security personnel.
"It's the Beasts Pirates!!"
"After destroying Kone Island, are they targeting us now?!"
"Quickly inform His Majesty the King!!"
The person in charge of the watchtower couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Hopefully they won't attack our country."
"probably not……"
His lieutenant spoke up: "The Kingdom of Tarbul is a member state of the World Government, and Kaido, as the king of a member state, has no authority to take action against the Kingdom of Tarbul!"
The person in charge of the watchtower nodded slightly.
"I hope it's as you say..."
Suddenly, a drop of water fell from the sky and landed on the windowsill of the watchtower.
The person in charge was slightly taken aback.
"It's raining?"
As he said, the raindrops falling from the sky gradually became denser.
Before long, it turned into a light drizzle.
The person in charge instinctively reached out the window, and wet raindrops fell on his hand. He suddenly felt that he had been working too much overtime lately, and his body began to send signals of fatigue.
at the same time.
The three ships of the Beasts gradually approached the shore.
Since Kaido did not fire first, the staff on shore proceeded with the normal ship reception procedures.
Find suitable mooring spots for the ships of the beasts, catch the ropes thrown down from the ships, and help secure them.
Meanwhile, a group of labor foremen voluntarily went to the vicinity of the gangway, hoping for possible handling work.
Kaido was the first to disembark from the ship.
The moment his foot touched the ground, the rainwater that had been flowing down his body began to gather at his feet.
The physical strength and life force extracted from those whose bodies were wet by the rain were gradually poured into Kaido's body.
This is the Azure Dragon Fruit, a variant of its healing ability among its eight powers.
Transforming mere physical strength into life force to heal one's own or others' wounds, and in turn, drawing upon the physical and life force of others to nourish oneself.
Of course, Kaido did this not to strengthen himself, but to draw on the stamina and life force of others to cast a healing rain that only works on the Beasts Pirates.
In short, this rain was orchestrated by Kaido.
Those who are not members of the Beasts Pirates will have their life force and stamina continuously drained, while members of the Beasts Pirates can continuously recover their stamina and injuries.
By increasing one troop and decreasing the other, combat casualties can be minimized to the greatest extent possible.
Of course, the price to pay for using this ability is that Kaido needs to constantly use Observation Haki to control it in real time.
After all, Kaido is not a Paramecia type, so he can't automatically distinguish friend from foe with a single thought. He still needs to manually operate his abilities using Observation Haki.
That said, even Paramecia-type abilities often lack the ability to automatically distinguish between friend and foe.
The Beasts Pirates' landing was uneventful.
Although each of them carried a weapon, it would be unusual for pirates to come ashore without weapons.
In addition, this light rain nourished everything silently.
The Beast Pirates, along with 1503 newly joined female pirates, eventually formed a complete formation at the port.
Kaido raised his flintlock musket and aimed it at the sky.
"boom!!"
A gunshot rang out.
"Men! Seize this country for me!!"
"Remember this! Don't bother with the poor bastards!"
"Primarily target the island's nobles and kabuki theaters!!"
“┗|艹皿艹|┛嗷！！”
The Beast Pirates cheered loudly and, under the watchful eyes of a large number of unsuspecting people, began to charge rapidly towards the bustling area of the island.
Di-
Di-
Di-
The port security personnel finally realized what was happening and began blowing whistles and sounding alarms.
"The Beasts Pirates have launched an attack!!"
Kaido's gaze swept across the area, and the effect of the rain draining his stamina instantly intensified.
Immediately, these security personnel, who had just been shouting with great vigor, all collapsed to the ground.
"The... Beasts Pirates..." they mumbled weakly, "Attack... attack..."
On the other hand...
After Kaido gave the order, Moria was the first to charge out.
"I fucking want to be a cadre! Don't get in my way!!"
As he brandished his broadsword and roared, countless passersby scattered to the sides of the road.
Soon, Moria arrived at the largest cabaret he had targeted earlier.
The World of Entertainment Club!
The rousing music and energetic dancing inside are still immersing me in them.
"Hehehe! I'll start by making you my first target!!"
Moria brandished his greatsword, killing the two guards at the gate with two swift strokes, and strode straight inside.
"Fucked robbery!!"
No one moved...
The music was so loud that Moria's voice was completely inaudible except to a few people nearby.
So Moria immediately started killing.
Blood rained down, and the revelers in the hall finally realized what was happening, jumping out of windows and smashing the back door to escape.
Moria ignored the fleeing people.
He fought his way to the music control panel and then cleaved it with his greatsword.
chant—
A terrifying noise instantly reverberated throughout the entire building, and even Moria, the instigator, felt his hair stand on end in an instant.
The noise was so irritating that it instinctively made people feel uncomfortable.
So, after the noise subsided.
Like a towering building, the upper floors were soon filled with angry people who climbed onto the railings and looked down.
"You fucking want to die?!"
A warm greeting came from above.
Many people were engrossed in learning singing techniques from the female artist when Moria pulled this stunt, startling many people into trembling on the spot.
What could have lasted at least 15 minutes was shortened to one-fifth by this shudder.
Many people were just beginning to learn when Moria forcibly interrupted them.
In an instant, greetings to Moriah's relatives and Moriah himself poured in.
Moria's face was dark.
Hearing the warm greetings from the higher-ups, he opened his mouth and let out a loud shout.
"Fuck you!! Robbery!!"
