The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen

They ran to the top floor of the mansion and looked out over the battlefield.

In just a short while, the situation on the battlefield changed again.

Both Crocodile and Cracker showed signs of exhaustion, the reason being a lack of stamina.

Rob Lucci may look unremarkable, but his stamina is exceptionally high. He is adept at using the Six Powers and, with the high agility and recovery granted by his Cheetah Form, he was able to hold his own against Oars the Demon after overcoming his initial urgency. Oars was unable to defeat him for a while.

Not to mention Drought Jack, who looked like he was beaten the worst, but in reality, he could fight for several more days without any problem.

Crocodile and Cracker are not as good. It's not that they are physically weak, just that they are not as strong. In the current environment, that slight deficiency becomes extremely fatal.

“Mr. 1 is over there too, and I even saw Lola,” Robin said.

Vivi had already seen it using her Observation Haki, and she was also thinking of a solution.

If she joined in, five against one, even if Oz was skilled in the Six Powers, he would still be defeated, but she didn't want to expose herself.

Since Gecko Moria is inside the Demon King's body, salt is no longer effective, so we'll have to find another way.

Vivi lagged two steps behind the others. While they were all watching the battlefield, she closed her eyes and used her Observation Haki to observe the enemy's weaknesses.

Oars's body was too damaged, with many openings. Crocodile and the others weren't stupid; they had been targeting these openings, but they were just unlucky, or perhaps their Observation Haki was too low, and they hadn't hit the key points.

Vivi quickly found the flaw: "Ms. Quan Sunday, did you see those stitches on the giant's body?"

"Which one are you referring to?" Oz the Demon was covered in stitches, and Robin didn't know which one she was referring to.

"It's the one on the left shoulder, near the neck."

"I saw it."

"Could you use your Devil Fruit powers to remove those stitches?"

Robin observed carefully for a while longer.

Oz the Demon was covered in stitches, which were very rough. During the fierce battle, foul-smelling, viscous blood clots would occasionally fall from the stitches.

Robin couldn't tell the difference between the suture she specifically pointed out and the rest of the area, but she still trusted her friend's medical skills. She closed her eyes, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and felt the distance between them.

"Nine-flower bloom! Stitches removed!"

Nine hands suddenly appeared behind the demon.

The hands created using Devil Fruit powers were just as dexterous as Robin's own. With a flick of one finger, a sharp lift of another, and a pull from the remaining hands, a stitch covered in rotting flesh was pulled out in less than five seconds.

Chapter 135 Moonlight. The Death of Moriah

"Okay, next is the rib area, the line on the left side near the navel."

"Great! There's a dark brown suture under the armpit, on the right side. Remove it!"

Vivi used her status as a doctor and her deep understanding of human anatomy to dispel Robin's doubts.

Under her guidance, after disconnecting three wires in a row, Moonlight Moria finally discovered the problem: Oz's body had become very sluggish, and his movements were a full beat slower. He controlled Oz to pat those strange hands, and after two attempts, the hands disappeared as soon as he patted them, but reappeared when he turned around.

Enraged, Gecko Moria ordered the zombies on the island to attack Robin and his companions.

Robin was constantly removing the stitches, so the task of protecting her fell to Vivi and the others.

"Mr. All Sunday! I will definitely protect you! Let me show you my transvestite fist technique!" Mr. 2 Bon Clay was also seriously injured, but he could still fight a group of ordinary zombies, showing the posture of one man guarding the pass against ten thousand.

Karu the duck nudged Vivi, as if to say, "This guy looks pretty strong, why isn't he picking up attributes?"

Vivi shook her head calmly, "Let's forget about this one..."

She didn't want to get close to the center of the battlefield; whoever had slightly stronger attack power might kill the duck. And right now, this transvestite's boxing technique... she didn't want to pick it up either.

"You are not allowed to interfere with Lord Moria's battle!" Perona, known as the Ghost Princess, once again manipulated her spirit to float over. The negative ghost passed through von Clay's body, and the extremely negative emotions instantly overwhelmed the transvestite. His face was covered in tears, and von Clay's heavy makeup was ruined. He felt that he was probably unable to fulfill his promise.

Before he could speak, the ghost princess in the sky clutched her head and let out a scream that was hard to understand. In less than two seconds, her spirit vanished, and several negative ghosts disappeared along with her.

von Clay was overjoyed: "Even this ghost has acknowledged my path of the transvestite?! I'm delighted!"

Despite his severe injuries, he spun around in place, performing ballet.

The group was still shaken by Princess Mononoke's ability to instantly defeat people, and now, seeing Bon Clay drive her away, they were all filled with admiration.

Vivi rubbed her face to make the red light in her eyes fade. That trace of Conqueror's Haki went unnoticed by anyone except for the Ghost Princess who had been hit.

During her previous battle with Ace, she was already able to control her Conqueror's Haki within a specific area. After drinking with Yamato for several days and sparring with him from time to time, she is now able to further reduce the area covered by her Conqueror's Haki.

If things are a bit troublesome on the ground, and there's a risk of accidental injury, then there's no problem when the other party is flying in the air.

Ghosts are also a special kind of spiritual energy, and Conqueror's Haki can completely suppress the opponent.

After driving away Princess Mononoke, the battle continued.

Robin is very smart and has read a lot of books.

After Vivi reminded her several times, she analyzed some patterns and found that removing each suture now had a significant impact on the demon.

"Well done, Ms. All Sunday!" Crocodile was very satisfied with his partner's performance.

He transformed into sand and launched a fierce attack on Oz from behind.

With seven or eight stitches already removed, his "Desert Vajra Sword" slashed repeatedly, causing large amounts of flesh and blood mixed with fine sand to fall off, making the demon's movements increasingly sluggish.

"Pretzel roll!" More than a dozen greatswords, imbued with Armament Haki, stabbed fiercely into the demon's back.

To prevent his mind from being clouded by the wildness of his beast form, Jack the Drought had reverted to his human form. Wielding two scythe-shaped Shotel scimitars, he leaped to Oz's side as Cracker attacked his back. His arm muscles bulged, and with a shout, he slashed the scimitars directly at Oz's wrist. Meanwhile, Crocodile on the other side swung his "Desert Blade." Together, they severed Oz's left hand.

Rob Lucci seized the opportunity and also delivered a Six Kings Spear to the chest of the giant demon. This blow was extremely powerful, with flesh and blood flying everywhere. In the center of the wound, the demon's heart, which had long since stopped beating, could even be seen.

"Hehehe... I think there might be some misunderstanding. Can we talk? You want treasure? No problem, you can have it all. I don't want any of it..."

After discovering that Oars' injuries were getting worse and that he was powerless to turn the tide, Gecko Moria immediately reverted to his usual cowardly and easygoing personality. He wanted to crawl out of Oars' body and make peace with the others. He said that fighting and killing each other was pointless. "Crocodile, we are all Shichibukai. We are brothers and comrades-in-arms in the same trench!"

He had a good plan: he would give up Oz the Devil, hand over all his treasures, and everyone would shake hands and make peace. If you have any conflicts, then you can resolve them yourselves. If all else fails, he could even give up Devil Island.

This series of ideas is very much in line with the spirit of pirates; this is what he thought, and this is what he did.

He had just emerged from the demon's body when he was met head-on by his "comrade-in-arms in the same trench," Crocodile.

Before he could even utter the name "Kroo," four sand-like blades suddenly pierced his chest!

Crocodile had a good understanding of the demon's defensive capabilities, and this time he put all his strength into it! His expression was particularly ferocious, and he didn't even see Moonlight Moria suddenly darting out.

The four sand blades, imbued with all his power, pierced straight through Moonlight Moria's chest.

Moonlight Moria's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He seemed unable to believe that he would die here, at the hands of his "comrade." The sand blades had completely eroded the life force within him. He opened his mouth wide, as if to say something. His past experiences, whether glorious or humiliating, flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern, but in the end, they all faded into darkness.

With a "bang," Moonlight Moria's enormous corpse fell into the dust, tilting its head to the side with its eyes wide open. Not only blood flowed from the corpse, but also some sand.

Looking at the lifeless, unseeing eyes of Moonlight Moria, Crocodile's first reaction was excitement—finally, he'd killed him! But the next second, he was stunned! Holy crap! How did I kill him?! I didn't mean to kill him! This idiot jumped out on his own!

With Gecko Moria's death, his Devil Fruit power completely failed, and the shadows of everyone, including Rob Lucci, returned to their original bodies.

Crocodile stared at his "old comrade's" corpse in silence for a long time. If he were in his prime, he would definitely have held back at the end. This time, it was entirely because he was too tired, physically exhausted, mentally drained, and his thinking slowed down for a moment, causing him to lose control...

The real Princess Perona, who had emerged from the shadows, cried out in tears, "Lord Moria!? Don't leave me!"

No matter how bad or cowardly Gecko Moria was, in Princess Mononoke's heart, he was like a father figure. Now that her father was gone... she gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Crocodile!

Chapter 136 Captain John's Sailing Notes?

The Pirate Princess Becomes King, Chapter 136: Captain John's Navigation Notes? Can you explain this yourself? Crocodile discovered that there were many witnesses around, a bunch of people saw it, he personally killed Gecko Moria, this is even more serious than "a picture is worth a thousand words", every single person at the scene is a witness.

He lowered his head, thinking about how to deal with the situation. Lola found a piece of parchment from somewhere, covered with dense writing.

The burly woman shouted at the top of her lungs, "Lord Crocodile! You killed Moria, you can't be a Shichibukai anymore, right? Sign this marriage contract, and let's go back to Mother together! Mother will definitely protect you!"

Upon hearing this, Crocodile's face darkened. "You've got a pretty good grasp of things now!"

If he had previously harbored the idea of ​​secretly killing Lola, that idea is now completely gone.

Of course, he wasn't moved by the other person's persistent love. Crocodile's heart is harder than steel; he won't love anyone. His change in attitude towards Lola is mainly to leave himself a way out.

If he really reaches a dead end, he will have no choice but to rely on Lola's connections and seek refuge with the old lady. It's a last resort.

Regardless of Kaido's reasons for wanting to kill him, with Big Mom's influence, Kaido will most likely spare him. After all, he hasn't offended Kaido. Crocodile believes there's some misunderstanding involved, and with Big Mom taking the lead, he can clear up the misunderstanding and resolve the situation with Kaido.

The remaining conflict between Shanks and Whitebeard is a minor matter...

By siding with Big Mom, he could avoid the trouble of offending one of the Four Emperors, and the World Government and the Navy wouldn't dare to pursue him.

This is a relatively safe way out. In addition to saving his life, he can also gain a lot of "brothers and sisters". The price is that all his previous plans will be ruined and he will go from being the dog of the World Government to being the dog of Big Mom.

He repeatedly considered the impact of this matter on himself.

He quickly suppressed his fear and realized that he was a little pessimistic, but things hadn't reached a dead end yet.

An injured Gecko Moria is useful to the World Government, but a dead Gecko Moria is useless. In this incredibly realistic world, the dead have no value, no matter how glorious they were in life.

And what about himself? He believed he still had value, and his price had even increased because of killing Gecko Moria.

He knew he had stirred up trouble, a trouble that could be big or small. Defeating Moria or raiding Moria's territory was fine, but killing him outright was clearly crossing the line... The Navy might secretly celebrate, but the World Government would definitely be unhappy. He could already picture the unfriendly glares of the Five Elders.

"Crocodile! I'm going to take your head to Lord Kaido!" Jack the Drought brandished his two curved swords and charged at Crocodile once more.

Cracker had a slightly different feeling about his "future brother-in-law" than before. This "future brother-in-law" was very strong, and if he could join the family, it wouldn't be a bad idea to spare his life, but that would depend on his mother's opinion.

"Come back with me to see Mom!" He subtly changed his tune; before he meant to kill someone, now he meant to take someone back with him.

Cracker's stamina and Haki were almost exhausted, but he still gritted his teeth and created two Biscuit Warriors to launch a fierce attack on Crocodile.

This is so damn hard!

The crocodile parried two attacks, then turned tail and ran!

In just a few seconds, he had figured it out. This time, I don't need the Five Elders to summon me. I'm going straight to Mary Geoise! ​​Come on, try and catch up with me if you dare!

He ran off first, with Jack the Drought close behind. Cracker, who was in a frenzy, instinctively chased after him, completely forgetting that his original target was only his sister Lola, and whether or not to chase after his "future brother-in-law" was not the core issue.

With the battle over, the Baroque Works crew, exhausted, boarded Moonlight Moria's ship anchored at Devil's Island harbor. Not wanting to linger in such a rundown place for even a second longer, they quickly set sail back to Alabasta.

Because she had to take Brook with her, Vivi didn't leave with the people from Baroque Works. She, along with a skeleton and a duck, found a boat by herself, and with the duck's guidance, they left Devil's Island.

Next to leave Devil's Island is Princess Perona.

Princess Mononoke knew she was no match for Crocodile, so she buried her hatred deep inside and, along with a great deal of gold and silver and her men, also sailed away.

Aside from Vivi's Conqueror's Haki, even if Rob Lucci were included, no one could stop this Ghost Princess. With the Negative Ghost clearing the way, no one could stop her from leaving.

Gecko Moria's other two subordinates, Absalom, the commander of the zombie soldiers who ate the Clear-Clear Fruit, and Frankenstein's monster Hogback, were not as decisive as Princess Mononoke. They each led their subordinates to join forces with Buggy the Clown and other pirates to plunder Gecko Moria's treasure vault.
