Chapter 314: Devil Fruit Ability Awakening?
Moria had always relied on his Devil Fruit Ability. After hearing Mu Chen's words, he wanted to awaken it too. But he still couldn't understand why a Marine would help a pirate grow stronger. Was this some kind of joke?
Moria panted, his eyes full of suspicion. "The Marines have always hunted pirates. Why would you help me?"
Even as a pirate, he was baffled by this Marine. He simply couldn't understand why Mu Chen was doing it.
Mu Chen had no idea what else to say. Why did this guy have so many questions? He had saved Moria's life, for crying out loud!
Mu Chen was too tired to explain himself again.
Mu Chen's words left Moria speechless. He had been ready to die just moments ago, but now he didn't want to. Fine, I'll become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. But I can't spend the rest of my life taking orders from you. Three favors—that's the most I'll promise.
Moria made his terms clear. He was a powerful pirate with his pride to consider. Doing a few things for Mu Chen later would settle the debt.
Hearing that, Mu Chen knew he had achieved what he wanted.
"All right." Mu Chen looked reluctant, but he was delighted inside. He had known from the start that getting a pirate to obey him for life was a pipe dream.
That was why Mu Chen had opened with an outrageous demand. He had wanted Moria to bargain it down, and three favors were enough. He wouldn't push for more.
Mu Chen had no desire to linger with Moria. He didn't want to take him back yet, so he told Moria to spend another six months at sea and finish recruiting his fleet
