Moria's Vicious Plan

Buggy really didn't expect that the seemingly unassuming Ma Qiao would have such a high status in the Grand Line.

The fact that a single sentence could persuade two Shichibukai to set aside their differences and agree to his plan is no small feat.

Galdino's eyes widened, as if he were seeing Ma Qiao in a completely new light.

That's Shichibukai, not some street thug. This is incredibly powerful.

Even if the owner of Baroque Works were here, he probably wouldn't have this kind of influence.

Etc!

Galdino suddenly discovered a blind spot.

He was one of the earlier employees of Baroque Works. In Galdino's memory, back when Mr. 0 was still in the startup phase, Ma Qiao was always by his side.

Mr.0, however, never shows his true face.

After the addition of miss. allsunday, Mr.0 became even more elusive.

Judging by his own experience, Galdino didn't believe that anyone would simply abandon their organization and hand it over to outsiders to manage.

A more reasonable explanation is that Mr. 0 has always been somewhere within Baroque Works, closely observing and controlling the overall situation as an ordinary member.

The most likely "ordinary employee" is probably employee number one Ma Qiao.

Whether it was Mr. 0 I met back then, or Miss All Sunday later on~

A skilled hunter often appears as the prey.

The big boss of Baroque Works is this ordinary, low-level office worker!

Otherwise, it's hard to explain why Ma Qiao, who slacked off year after year, remained unscathed and never faced an investigation from the gang's higher-ups!

Having figured all this out, Galdino swallowed hard, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

Just then, a hand suddenly patted Galdino on the shoulder, making him jump up. "I'll never do it again... Huh?"

Galdino looked behind him, but there was no sign of Ma Qiao, or even anyone at all.

The one taking the picture of himself is Captain Buggy's right hand, which has split off from his body.

Buggy kept his phone in his left hand the whole time, making it very convenient for him to take pictures from all angles.

It's fair to say that Buggy's Devil Fruit ability was created specifically for live streaming.

Buggy didn't expect that tapping Third Brother Third Brother would elicit such a strong reaction.

But now that things have come to this, he doesn't have time to bother with such trivial matters.

"Vice-Captain Galdino, the Destiny of our pirate crew depends on you this time!"

"Uh... what does that mean?" Galdino had a bad feeling.

"You're the strongest crew member on our ship, second only to the captain, so this sparring match definitely depends on you!"

Galdino looked around and saw the bunch of cowardly lions hiding behind Buggy the Clown, nodding repeatedly.

The only one who seems plausible is Shaco is also dressed as a Shaco.

As for Twisted Fate, he had already disappeared before even entering the Florian Triangle.

However, Buggy seemed unsurprised by this.

Buggy knew that Twisted Fate had a magical ability; the guy was always elusive and often disappeared from the ship.

In Mohji's words, "We were already Four Emperors crew before Twisted Fate arrived, and we're still Four Emperors crew even after Twisted Fate isn't here."

But everyone knows that Twisted Fate is much stronger than the silicon-based life form Mohji.

Fortunately, Twisted Fate always appears unexpectedly at crucial moments, helping him overcome one difficulty after another.

For example, when they climbed Reverse Mountain, it was Twisted Fate's crucial yellow card that immobilized the relentless Smoker, allowing the Buggy Pirates to successfully enter the Grand Line.

But regardless, this guy has now mysteriously disappeared again, leaving Buggy helpless.

The Third Brother's face fell even more, looking like that of a grandson.

With Twisted Fate gone, what capable men does the mighty Order have left?

Although the Third Brother wasn't as snotty as Captain Buggy, he was still terrified.

Although the fat man in baby clothes next to Doflamingo and the twin-tailed loli next to Gecko Moria both seem easy to deal with...

But that lion-faced woman, and the Long-Legged Maid carrying various weapons on her back, looked like someone you didn't want to mess with.

Third Brother didn't consider himself Shichibukai, so Third Brother felt insecure facing these guys...

Fortunately, at that moment, Ma Qiao suddenly spoke up to help him out of the predicament.

"Captain Buggy, Galdino is a notorious pirate with a bounty of 300 million Beli. If you were to officially ascend the throne one day, he would be your Emperor's Deputy!"

"Isn't it a bit too much for a high- Emperor's Deputy to bully a few juniors?"

"After all, Donquixote Doflamingo only has a bounty of a mere 340 million Beli..."

Ma Qiao's words caused the muscles on Doflamingo's and Buggy the Clown's faces to twitch simultaneously.

In other words, Doflamingo didn't know how many viewers were watching the drama unfold in Buggy's livestream at that moment; otherwise, he would definitely have challenged Third Brother to a duel.

Doflamingo was meek and submissive towards Buggy the Clown, who earned a bounty of 500 million through sheer seniority and "powerful strength," but he was not afraid to strike hard against Galdino, who earned a high bounty by beating up Celestial Dragons.

After all, Doflamingo had already easily defeated the last person who obtained a bounty of 300 million Beli through opportunistic means for special reasons.

That person was Caesar Courant, the mad scientist whom Ma Qiao had imprisoned in a gas cylinder.

That guy's fighting ability is absolutely not worthy of his bounty, which Shichibukai.

Doflamingo was very unhappy with Ma Qiao's behavior of praising Galdino and belittling himself, but Galdino immediately clung to this lifeline.

"That's right, my bounty is too high. Bullying a junior is not the act of a true master. Captain Buggy, I'm afraid I cannot fight for you!"

With that, Galdino darted behind Buggy at the speed of light, squeezing in with Mohji, Richie, Cabaji, and the others.

At this moment, Yamato stepped forward. "Isn't it just a fight? What's the difference between seniors and juniors? Just beat them all to a pulp!"

Buggy, playing the role of the mother hen, was overjoyed, as if playing a game of tag.

Although he didn't know exactly how strong the white-haired beauty accompanying Ma Qiao was, judging from her performance along the way, she was definitely stronger than the worthless underlings under his command.

Buggy had been worried that she wouldn't want to fight as his subordinate, or as a member of the Buggy Pirates.

"Kaido... no, my dad, that bastard, really wants me to work for you, so don't worry."

Yamato shook his wrists, stretched his neck, and slung the spiked club over his shoulder, brimming with fighting spirit.

Doflamingo glanced at Yamato, saw that she was a woman, and nodded to Baby 5 behind him.

"Hey, Mr. Doflamingo, do you need me?"

I will definitely try my best to do it!

Seeing his subordinates once again going into a state of excitement because they were needed, Doflamingo helplessly covered his forehead.

This is a recurring problem with the Baby 5.

Because of her tragic childhood experiences, Baby5 craves to be needed and finds it impossible to refuse others when they need her.

Whether it's borrowing money, proposing marriage, or being pressured into buying something, she will feel needed and choose to accept it.

As a result, Baby5 incurred a debt of up to 98 million Beli, subscribed to as many as 50 newspapers, and was proposed to by many scumbags.

Fortunately, Doflamingo was a responsible leader who promptly purged those scumbags, preventing his subordinates from being swindled out of their money and then sexually exploited.

However, Baby5 often clamors about killing Doflamingo to avenge her fiancés.

However, at this moment she felt needed by Doflamingo, and immediately walked to the center of the square with great enthusiasm.

Seeing that both Emperor Clown Buggy and Doflamingo had sent female officers into battle, Moria had no choice but to turn to Perona and instruct her:

"Play it by ear. If things don't look good, admit defeat immediately. Staying alive is the most important thing, understand?"

"Yes, I understand, Lord Moria!"

Perona nodded seriously, but her gaze kept shifting between Yamato's good looks and his abundant sins.

In theory, a three-person free-for-all is a highly unreasonable fighting format.

However, this contest, proposed by Ma Qiao and intended to provide a way out for the two Shichibukai and one of the "Five Emperors," did not adhere to any principles of fairness or science.

Three women make a drama.

One of the women didn't think so.

Yamato, carrying a spiked club, looked at the two delicate beauties before him with a displeased expression. "Can't you find a few real men to fight me?"

Baby5 threw away the cigarette butt from her mouth, a stark contrast to the gentle demeanor she previously displayed when needed.

"You're Alvida, the one with a bounty of 30 million Beli, aren't you? I'd like to see what makes you think you can match my bounty!"

As she spoke, Baby5 raised her long, slender, and fair legs. Even in the dark and gloomy Devil's Sea, the rounded curves of her legs still shone with a fair and tender glow.

But the next second, the beautiful, luscious body turned into cold steel.

With the Arms-Arms Fruit ability, Baby5's long legs transform into Gatling gun barrels.

A dense hail of bullets hurtled towards Yamato like a storm at sea.

"The ability to be bored..."

Faced with an attack of this magnitude, Yamato didn't even consider using his Mythical Zoan Fruit; instead, he simply swung his spiked club.

At this moment, Enel shed tears, Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Without using any special abilities, Yamato's spiked club was Inazuma with lightning. After a brief charge, as the club was swung, a powerful, sword-like aura slashed forward with the compressed air.

"Narikabura!"

With Yamato cry from Yamato, all the bullets fired by Baby5 were shattered into dust.

The remaining airflow left a deep, bottomless chasm five centimeters in front of Baby5.

This attack not only left the weapon maid dumbfounded, but even Doflamingo was so shocked that his mouth gaped open and his eyes bulged out of their sockets.

"Captain Buggy... is this the true strength of the third-ranking member on your ship with a bounty of 30 million Beli?"

"Yes... yes... that's exactly it..."

Buggy was utterly terrified, but having sailed with Roger before and seen all sorts of storms, he immediately adopted a shrewd and inscrutable expression:

"This woman has been well protected by the gentlemen on our ship, so she doesn't quite know how to control her strength. I'm afraid Mr. Dover has made a fool of himself."

"Just as I thought. You endured too much to raise Roger's son. Even with the little commotion you caused in Loguetown, the Navy still greatly underestimated your and your subordinates' strength..."

Doflamingo turned his head with difficulty, swallowed hard, and the faint air of arrogance that had been there before completely dissipated, replaced by undisguised fear and awe on his face.

Doflamingo previously thought that the Buggy Pirates's Emperor's Deputy, despite having a bounty of 300 million Beli, was actually all bark and no bite.

His actual strength might be close to that of Caesar Clown, whose bounty is 300 million Beli, or at most, the level of Gecko Moria, whose bounty is 320 million Beli.

But now, a mere executive with a net worth of 30 million Beli has easily unleashed a blow worth 300 million Beli. Doflamingo can't even imagine how powerful an executive with 300 million Beli must be.

This is a genuine Emperor's Deputy!

Doflamingo glanced at his bewildered Third Brother, his eyes filled with apprehension.

Compared to Doflamingo's shocked and fearful expression, Moria's expression was even more fascinating.

The moment Yamato his spiked club, it was like an Inazuma, striking the deepest, most terrifying nightmare within Moria's heart.

"It's so... so very similar..."

"Why does this woman look so Kaido...?"

Although he claimed he would lead his Zombie Army back to the New World to avenge Kaido, there was no doubt that the war more than twenty years ago had left an insurmountable mark on Moria's heart. Kaido's image of wielding his iron club and sweeping across the battlefield, appearing as a demon, was deeply etched in Moria's mind.

He shook his head, trying to separate the image of the tall, white-haired beauty with horns in front of him from that of Kaido.

Although they look alike, their hair colors are different, and Alvida is a female pirate who has been active in the East Blue for a long time; she couldn't possibly be Kaido's daughter...

Moria frantically hypnotized himself.

Then, in the very next second, he spat out all the sugary drinks he'd been consuming all morning.

"Thunder Bagua!"

Yamato decided to end this tedious fight, raising his iron rod, crackling with Inazuma, high into the air with terrifying pressure.

She claims to be the successor of Kozuki Oden, but she doesn't know a single move of Oden's swordsmanship. Every move she makes is full of the shadow of her teacher Kaido. Yamato's body is very honest.

In the world of One Piece, where everyone is oblivious to others, Yamato, as an undercover agent, uses his signature move of calling out "Pops," yet few people recognize him.

However, this small group does not include Gecko Moria, who received close-up training from Kaido but failed to grasp the essence of the character due to a lack of protagonist's plot armor.

Looking at the incredibly powerful girl before him, Moria couldn't even recognize her as Kaido's daughter; he might as well just crash into the Doppelman and die.

"So... Kaido's daughter is named Alvida, and she's infiltrating Emperor Clown Buggy's pirate crew..."

Moria murmured softly.

Suddenly, he revealed a sinister smile.

As a native of the pirate world, Moria immediately guessed Kaido's plan to have his daughter infiltrate the enemy forces.

"Hmph, Kaido, I couldn't do anything to you on Onigashima, but I didn't expect you to have a daughter. I've come up with a great idea to get revenge on you!"

"I'm going to work out hard, become a muscular Moria, then win Alvida's heart, and on our wedding night, steal her shadow, letting her turn into bubbles in the sunlight!"

"I'll make you taste what it's like to lose someone you love!"

At that moment, Alvida, the fat woman who was hiding behind Buggy and trembling, suddenly felt a shiver run through her heart, as if something good was about to happen.
