One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 152 Successfully blended in.

There is no need to think about the consequences.

Even a fool knows that once this kind of thing is discovered by those damn nobles, a life worse than death will await them!
After all, in the eyes of the nobles, they were just a bunch of nobody, and their wails of pain might even amuse them.

"hateful……"

Tru feigned anger and fear, and although he did not directly express his anger and murderous intent towards the nobles, judging from his expression alone, no one would think that he would be soft-hearted when it came to attacking the nobles.

"Really? Let's go. It won't be too late to meet Captain Moria first, right? You can stop at the coast and wait and see, or you can just use our small boat to send two people to make contact in advance!"

Bob proposed a plan and spoke in a persuasive manner, and his expression seemed to be very satisfied with Tru's expression.

With a common enemy, it is not difficult to become friends. Most pirates understand this.

Because in the world of pirates, there are never real enemies. This is a lesson they will definitely learn after going out to sea.

"Okay, then I'll follow your arrangements. Anyway, the situation can't get any worse."

Tru seemed to have accepted his fate and deflated himself, his hands hanging down, and with the label on his face, he looked decadent.

Bob was delighted. Although the two men behind Root did not relax their vigilance and still held their guns with their fingers on the trigger ring, they also showed lost expressions after seeing their boss accept his fate.

Indeed, nobles seemed difficult to resist in the eyes of common people, especially in a situation where they had a mortal feud.

Accepting your fate and joining a gang might be the best option.

Bob knew this well because that was how he got on the ship. However, he was a slave, and if he didn't seize the opportunity to survive, he would only return to the dark cell, quietly waiting for torture and death to come.

Tru adopted Bob's plan, pretending to be alert and expectant, and steered the sailboat towards the shore.

When they approached the edge of the island country, about 500 meters away from the main ship of Moriah Pirates, they reefed the sails and dropped anchor. Tru took Bob and two other armed teammates on the canoe, and the five of them slowly moved towards Moriah and others on the shore.

At this time, the pirates returned with a full load, and a large amount of treasure was piled on the main ship. Moria and a group of people were standing on the edge of the main ship, looking at the people on the rowboat.

He grinned widely, with his hands casually placed at his sides, his face full of smiles.

"Captain Moriah!"

"Geez, good job! Your name is Bob, right? From today on, you and the others are all official crew members. Guys, cheer for them joining us. There will be a party tonight!"

Moria shouted as he pulled out the weapon at his waist that had merged into a giant pair of scissors.

The pirates around him shouted excitedly.

This is not just a simple welcome party, but a few more partners who can give their lives and backs to each other in battle!
Looking at the entire ocean, the unity of the Moria Pirates is among the best, and basically, they are not cowards who would run away when faced with disaster.

"Are you Captain Moria? It's an honor to meet you!"

Tru said this, appropriately showing a bit of shock.

After all, Moria is tall and quite unique in the entire East China Sea. As an outsider, his shocked look can more easily gain the other party's trust and confirm his identity.

"Geeheeheehee, Bob, can you introduce yourself?"

Moriah was very satisfied with Tohru's shock. He had been lacking love since childhood and was determined to do something big. Wasn't it for this kind of attention? There were also things like admiration and worship.

Bob came to the meeting and introduced himself to Tru:

"Okay, Captain! This is Root, a brave refugee at sea. Don't be fooled by their ragged clothes, but they are all real men!

Look at the sailboat over there, it's full of slaves they rescued, but they were short of supplies, so they had no choice but to look for nearby islands."

After saying this, Bob directed Moriah's gaze to the small sailboat, and he gently nudged Tru with his elbow, indicating with his eyes that it was his turn to perform.

Tru pretended to be flustered, then said calmly:

"Captain Moria, we have nowhere else to go. Could you please take us in?"

"Geehee, of course it's no problem. I'm very satisfied with your character! As long as you are willing to abide by the rules of my ship, you will be our partners."

Moria patted his chest and said, then waved his hand and said to the pirates:
"The affiliated countries are not a good place to stay. You can send a few people to transport some supplies to that ship, take them to the villages on the outskirts of the country to settle down, and give them enough food to last for half a month.

This arrangement is fine, right, Root? Only by being self-reliant can we survive in this ocean."

After saying that, Moria looked at Tru and asked.

Moria is not a good person, but a bad person. Under normal circumstances, he would probably just send those slaves away, let them settle down however they want, and just give them some food so they don't die.

But it is different now. First, they grab the wealth of the member countries, and second, they give a thumbs up to the new members to win their favor and admiration.

He is not stupid. He will do things within his ability and will not brag about himself. The only people he will really treat well are the partners he recognizes, that is, the official crew members in the pirate group.

Others? Sorry, he's a pirate, and he's just being kind by not killing you, what else can you expect? The sea is cruel, he's known this since he was a child.

He saved those slaves just to find some companions among them to accompany him in conquering the sea and even the Grand Route.

It is impossible for him to always bring along the team he brought from his hometown.

"Thank you Captain Moria, you are as kind as they say, and a true hero!"

Rut's face showed excitement and joy, and his eyes showed admiration after he just imagined Ross's figure in his mind.

In his heart, he silently made a note of Moria.

This is a very mature pirate with a unique personality and charm, and he is very good at winning people's hearts.

If it is not dealt with, it will become a big problem in the future!

But Moria's crime is not punishable by death for the time being, and the same goes for most of the people on the ship. If they are exposed or the matter is over, Tru will spare their lives for the time being and send them to jail for a few years.

However, the specific situation still needs to be observed and no conclusion can be made arbitrarily.

Moria was very happy to see this. It seemed like another group of people who could become partners. He waved his weapon and said loudly:

"Geez, guys, set sail and head for Korowai Island. Let's grab all the neighboring member states and head to the Seven Waters City on the Grand Line to build a battleship of our own!

Now, let's have a party, gee hee hee!"

"Long live Captain Moria! If we really do this, our bounty will definitely increase several times!"

"Great job, Boss Moria! Your bounty will definitely be the highest in the East China Sea before you head to the Grand Line!"

"Robbery and fortune! Endless feasting! We love you, Captain Moriah!"

Beside him, Tru grinned awkwardly, silently labeling these pirates as "getting carried away", then followed them and raised his hands to cheer.

He really couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere. Are all pirates like this?

He didn't pay much attention when killing pirates before. He just rushed forward and killed them without thinking too much.

However, knowing both yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. In the future, you can fight pirates when they are holding banquets. That will definitely be the time when they are least vigilant!
Tru has already figured out how to destroy the Moria Pirates, but there is no rush. He will wait until he has robbed the other two surrounding member countries.

It's a good opportunity to kill them to my heart's content. I've been annoyed with those nobles for a long time, and this time I must satisfy my urge to kill them.

"Is this really okay for us to do, Tohru? We're in the navy after all, going with them to rob or something."

On the edge of the Moria Pirates' main ship, after separating from the other pirates, the six people who reunited were talking in whispers together.

There was some hesitation in Potter's voice, as if he felt that something was wrong with what they were doing.

"What's the point of saying this now? Keep a close eye on them. If they kill civilians, stop them quietly and settle the score later."

Tru shook his head. Potter's moral quality was a little high, but not in the right place. He added:
"As for the nobles, we won't kill children and women. We should just focus on killing the old men and men. They are no good anyway. Killing them all might result in killing the wrong people, but if we kill nine out of ten, there will definitely be some that are missed! It won't be too late to subdue Moria after we kill a group of heartless people.

Also, we are now the Pirates Root and Tebo... What does the crime they committed have to do with us?"

"Well, I won't care if Mr. Ross scolds me. You are the captain and you are the boss."

"Okay, I'll take the blame. At worst, I can retire early and go back to Yun Island to get married. What's the big deal? By the way, do you have a girl you like?"

"No……"

"Neither do I. By the way, Tru, why are you so anxious? You're only in your twenties."

"Well, I don't know. It was Sakaski who mentioned this to me unintentionally, saying that Mr. Ross seemed to be urging him to get married, and I was inexplicably moved."

"Is it puberty? Teacher Ross seemed to have talked about this concept before, something about hormones and mutual attraction, but I can't quite remember."

For some unknown reason, the six of them turned the topic to women, and their occasional teasing attracted Moria's attention from afar.

But he ignored it and immersed himself in the atmosphere of the banquet with the crew, singing in a shrill voice.

Although the devilish sound was piercing their ears, everyone tried hard to smile, applaud, and do their best to cater to their captain and make him happy.

Tru and others looked at him sideways.

Moriah is a very good captain, with a crew that truly cares about him.

This is just like their great respect for Mr. Ross.

But I'm sorry, they are the navy. No matter how much Moria and others meet their standards of kindness, they will eventually draw their swords and fight.
