Chapter Ninety-Seven: Important Things (Reward Plus 3/4)
On the island, the site of the former castle.
Inside a simple stone house.
The stone house is the result of a week of work for one of the few zombies on the island.
Luffy, Robin, and Brooke sat on the left side of a long round table, and the four Moriah sat on the right.
Luffy put his hands on the table and said to Moria straight to the point: "I directly said my request, I need the ability of the Shadow Fruit to create a large number of powerful zombies for me, which can be used to train and enhance my strength..."
"Training?" Moria was stunned for a moment, it was the first time he thought of using zombies for training.
That's right!
Zombies are not afraid of pain and can always fight with all their might, which is simply the best sparring partner.
Moria, looked at Luffy.
No wonder he has such strength at such a young age, and only people who are thinking about becoming stronger all the time are worthy of this kind of strength.
Luffy must have never imagined that just because of one sentence, his leveling plan would actually cause Moria to have such a misunderstanding, which caused Moria to motivate himself for a long time, until, the day this plan was really implemented...
Luffy didn't know what Moriah was thinking at this time, and continued to speak, "Moria, you've been trapping nearby pirates before, have you considered using the Sea Kings?"
"Aquamans..."Moria hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said slowly: "Aquakings don't work, their bodies have been soaked in the sea for a long time, with a lot of salt, and as soon as the shadow enters, it will break away and fly away out of control. β
"That's it..."Luffy was a little disappointed, which he really hadn't thought of before.
It's also that the zombie's resistance to salt is a little too poor, and it's been limited a lot...
With a moment of regret in his heart, Luffy asked again, "What about the shadow of the Sea King?"
As soon as these words came out, the scene instantly fell silent.
Perona looked at Moria with some confusion, not understanding why she suddenly stopped talking.
Moria clenched his fists at this time, and he couldn't stop regretting it in his heart.
The shadow of the sea king, yes!
Why haven't you thought about it before?
Just because he is a Devil Fruit ability, he has never considered the possibility of being under the sea.
In the past, Moriah often heard a saying: There is no weakest fruit ability, only the weakest user.
This time Moria was completely convinced, and looked at Luffy with inexplicable eyes.
Looking at his appearance, he is not a natural fruit, but he can develop his ability to this extent.
For the first time, Moriah realized that the gap between man and man is sometimes greater than that between man and pig.
Forcing himself to calm down, not to lose his temper on such an occasion, Moriah slowly spoke: "The shadow of the Sea King is used on zombies, but..."
Moria looked around and found that the only non-capable person among them seemed to be Hogubak, a doctor who had no combat power, and continued: "But the capture of the sea kings is particularly difficult, and it seems that no one here can enter the bottom of the sea to capture, and zombies cannot get close to the seawater, so our first step is to solve this problem first.
Also, the sea kings in the Devil's Triangle are too scarce, so I recommend that it is best to leave here and go to the windless zone, where the sea kings are inexhaustible.
Some of the islands in the windless zone will also produce some particularly powerful creatures, and you can also collect some powerful corpses along the way.
There is also the problem of storage, the size of the sea king is too large, and if it is transported during the day, it is impossible to be unable to get sunlight.
Therefore, shadows can only be obtained at night, so it is necessary to have a large storage room, which is originally found in castles.
However, now that the castle has been destroyed, the quickest thing to do is to build a storage room on top of the original.
But there is also the problem of the giant sea king, so the problem will be more troublesome.
Then there is the question of the wisdom of the Sea King, the intelligence of the Sea King is not high, and it is very likely that he will not be able to complete precise orders, so he may not be able to form a strong combat power in a short time. β
Moria's series of statements threw out a bunch of problems, but he knew best in his heart that these problems could only be said to be troubles, not unsolvable.
The first point is that it is completely possible to make tools that can be used on the surface of the sea to carry out fishing activities in the diving area.
The second point is a little more troublesome, the mast is now completely shattered, and it will take a lot of time to repair it again.
But in Moria's view, the problems that can be solved in time are not problems.
The third point is simpler, there is a large storage warehouse on the site of the old castle, as long as it is based on this, expand it a little, and build another one.
The last point can be said to be not even a problem, as long as the number is reached, what is precise or not, he does not believe that a thousand zombies composed of a single punch can shatter a mountain, and it cannot make people feel afraid.
These questions are thrown up, in fact, just to tell Luffy that this matter is possible, but it will take a lot of time.
In Moria's opinion, this is simply a beautiful plan, and he is now starting to admire Luffy a little.
It's a pity that Luffy doesn't seem to think so.
"Uh..."
Moria's series of questions directly stunned Luffy, and the whole person looked at Moriah in a daze, not knowing what to say.
Capture in the deep sea is simple, Moria treats him as a fruit powerhouse, but he is not.
He can go into battle in person, after all, the shadow has a reusable effect, and it is better to rely on Moria's ability than to kill it himself.
But if you want to go to the windless zone on this island, I don't know how long it will take.
That's a question about the storage of sea kings.
Do you want to make a big hole on the island and bring in seawater, I don't know if the island will sink in this way...
As for combat effectiveness.
Just kidding, Luffy wants zombies to use to fight with others, and he uses them to farm experience points and gold.
These zombies will die in the end, and it doesn't matter if they are wise or not...
Robin, who was on the side, saw that Luffy hadn't spoken for a long time, and vaguely guessed some reasons, so he quickly took the initiative to take over the conversation and said, "Then, let's make a plan first:
First, make every effort to repair the mast and sails, and sail to the windless zone;
second, to build a large storage space with fixed facilities to facilitate the transportation of sea kings;
Thirdly, a large number of corpses were created, and we began to catch sea kings on the way to the windless zone.
Now, gather all the zombies that can still be used and arrange the work in one place.
The rest, leave it to Luffy! β
Listening to Robin's words, Luffy glanced at Robin in surprise, and then said lightly, "Well, just do what Robin said..."
Perona looked at each other, looked at each other, and finally turned their gaze to Moria.
Moria just nodded slightly, as if she was also thinking about Robin's plan, and then said in a calm tone: "Just implement this plan first, if there is no problem, we will carry it out." β
The word "execution" came out of Moria's mouth, and there was nothing unnatural about it, which shows that Molia has correctly positioned himself.
"Go ahead." Luffy immediately said in agreement.
"Hmm." Moria nodded again, and walked out of the stone house with Perona and the others.
As soon as Moria and the others left, Luffy immediately turned his gaze to Robin, and just saw Robin's gaze, and the two smiled tacitly.
How else to say that reading is better.
People who read a lot, like Robin, see the problem straight to the point, and are organized, and without losing Luffy's face, they are simply the best assistant to the captain.
The external matter is solved, and Luffy decides to start solving the internal problem.
"Everyone!" Luffy suddenly slapped the table and jumped to the other end of the table, on the chair that Moria had just made.
Robin and Brooke's eyes were immediately drawn to Luffy and they looked over in unison.
Luffy's face sank, and he said solemnly, "I found an important problem this morning!" β
Seeing Luffy's face so serious, Robin and Brooke couldn't help but look at Luffy seriously, waiting for his next words.
"I findβ" Luffy pulled out a long note again, making Robin and the others more focused.
"That'sβ"
"Our pirate group doesn't have a name yet!!"
"Ha ???" Γ2
