The CP Organization had considered this before; there were readily available "wild dogs" they could use...
What are the Shichibukai for? Aren't they there to keep the increasingly chaotic seas in check and maintain the authority of the World Government?
Although they usually obey orders but not direct commands, they can certainly be mobilized when necessary!
Moreover, the current Shichibukai are not like those ten years later, whose main bases are either in the first half of the sea or in the Calm Belt. In the New World, there is only Doflamingo, who has an ambiguous relationship with one of the Four Emperors.
The current Shichibukai are actually more numerous in the New World — Whitebeard directly expelled Silver Axe from the New World because he lost face as the "Overlord," but Whitebeard was not so sensitive about other Great Pirate in the New World accepting titles.
Firstly, Whitebeard never thought highly of them, and secondly... the appointment of the other Shichibukai took place after the decisive battle between Silver Axe and Whitebeard.
Although Whitebeard won a great victory, he still needed to recuperate, having missed the opportunity to pull out the nails at the beginning.
However, the first pirate crew CP0 found this time, the Mountain Mover Pirates, outwardly agreed to support the operation, but were secretly discovered to be colluding with Captain John!
After CP0's assassination attempt failed, Pawa openly sided with Captain John.
As a result, CP0 could no longer trust the other Shichibukai, and instead contacted a "pure stray dog," promising that he would be left to his own devices once the deed was done.
"Kaido hasn't shown up yet, you really don't know Kaido's location?" Moria stared at the CP9 member in front of him with distrust.
"Who knows? Maybe he didn't leave Wano Country for Captain John at all, or maybe he's already gone back?" the mustachioed man said nonchalantly.
Although Moria was dissatisfied with these guys' attitude, he had no choice but to accept that he was already on CP's pirate ship and had arrived at the doorstep of Mayo Island. He couldn't back down now, so he could only be extra careful in his heart while continuing to act according to the plan on the surface.
At the same time, Moria was also secretly glad that he hadn't mentioned Sig to CP0 because he wanted Sig and CP0 to fight like dogs, and he hadn't even revealed his hidden identity!
Previously, Moria had hoped that Sig would get bitten more badly when the dogs were fighting, but now he hopes that Sig will bite CP0 more badly.
Meanwhile, Moria remained hesitant— Captain John's reaction seemed rather unusual.
After the men from the Wolf Pack had assessed friend and foe, the Thriller Bark encountered no obstacles along the way; it could be said that Captain John practically ushered them in!
Is this a preparation for a direct confrontation with me on Mayo Island?
Moria always felt there was a conspiracy involved—ten years ago, Moria wouldn't have backed down at all; he would have simply waved his hand dismissively, ignoring any schemes or tricks, since ultimately it would come down to strength and a fight.
But now... Moria's edge has somewhat faded.
As they approached Mayo Island, many of Captain John's men were still on the harbor shore, and they habitually launched their cannons to fire a barrage.
Of course, the bombardment was nothing more than a tickle to the Thriller Bark, which was only a few sizes smaller than the Mayo Island...
"Captain John! You lackey of Kaido, get out here!" Moria officially declared war on Captain John.
Reason...
It was when he was being "bullied" in Wano Country that he discovered Captain John was one of Kaido's men.
That sounds reasonable!
A gangplank, large enough to span a bridge, was seen propelling the ship from the outer edge of the Thriller Bark to Mayo Island...
On a typical ship, the gangplank is just a narrow plank bridge, but on Thriller Bark is set up, it becomes a large bridge.
"Men, charge!" Moria waved his hand.
Hundreds and thousands of bizarre zombies swarmed toward Mayo Island.
Most of these zombies are not Pure Human —in terms of basic combat strength, Pure Human have the least advantage. For example, the bodies of Fish-Man Race can easily overwhelm humans, not to mention Giant Race and the like.
Moria sought out Hogback in order to quickly obtain a powerful source of corpses...
They drastically altered corpses, piecing them together into half-human, half-beast, or even chimera-like stitched-together monsters, in order to quickly obtain corpses that could be considered "powerful" for the lower-level combat forces!
Of course, the most elite corpses are those that haven't been modified and were already masters in life.
Human body modification has a high lower limit and a low upper limit.
As for the source of the zombie silhouettes, in addition to the captured pirates and marines, CP0 also provided a group of Prisoner with silhouettes.
Large numbers of zombies stormed into the harbor and began fighting Captain John's men.
Moria, on the other hand, walked down slowly and deliberately at the very back.
Rob Lucci, standing to the side, sneered inwardly at the sight—it seemed this former Great Pirate had truly been terrified...
It is said that ten years ago, Moria, as Captain, was always the first to jump onto the enemy ship and engage in combat during boarding maneuvers.
Rob Lucci is eighteen years old this year. Five years ago, he resolved a kidnapping incident by quickly taking hundreds of hostages, which made him stand out in the CP Organization. After that incident, Rob Lucci was promoted directly to CP9. Now, after five years of training in CP9, his strength has become even more mature.
However, the one who is going to take advantage of the chaos to kidnap Caesar is CP0 agent Rob Lucci of CP9, who is only responsible for making communications... and monitoring Moria!
And because of his age and seniority, he wasn't the highest-ranking officer this time; the one in charge was Jabura —the one with the mustache from before, who was seven years older than Rob Lucci.
Jabura has always been resentful of Lucci, but Lucci doesn't actually care much about him...
"Something's strange. The guards here seem to be just going through the motions!" Moria looked at the scene before him with some unease.
"But even the Daimyo Moonlight Moria wouldn't be afraid of Captain John, would he?" Jabura said sarcastically from the side.
"Hmph, I'm afraid your men won't complete their clandestine mission!" Moria retorted sarcastically.
"Then there's no need to worry about it," Jabura said casually.
Moria then turned his head and looked again, almost unable to resist sending someone to urge Sig —the guy had been busy repairing Oz's body these past few days...
If Hogback hadn't told him that everything was progressing normally and that the repairs were expected to be fully completed by the time they arrived at Mayo Island, Moria would have already lost his temper.
Moreover, since they've already arrived at Mayo Island, if the repairs aren't completed by then, Moria is prepared to send Sig into battle himself!
Anyway, it was already evening—a time Moria had deliberately chosen to "land" at, which was conducive to the use of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit and the Vampire Fruit.
Moria will call Sig over as soon as it gets completely dark!
But just then, Sig's voice rang out from right next to Moria: "So we've arrived. I even took a short nap."
Suddenly, a figure wearing a black cloak with a red lining appeared between Moria and Lucci!
Not only was Moria startled, but Lucci, standing beside him, also tensed up—as a CP9 secret agent, how could he have been completely unaware that someone had already approached him?
And even though it wasn't in any secluded place, I only noticed it after the other person spoke?
Dongdong: Three updates today, but the third one will be in the afternoon. I'm so sad that I don't have any drafts saved up, sob sob.
