Moke Coughed Twice

Moke coughed awkwardly twice, seemingly trying to cover up his slight embarrassment, but he did not hesitate at all and walked straight towards Jora.

Having just experienced a passionate and fulfilling sexual encounter, Moke felt immensely satisfied, both physically and mentally. However, he didn't linger in this pleasure but realized it was time to do something more important.

He took a deep breath, composed himself, and then slowly stood up, walking towards Jora with light but firm steps. When he reached Jora, his movements became somewhat slow and cautious, as if he were facing an extremely crucial moment, where any small mistake could lead to serious consequences.

How long does it take to get from Marine Headquarters to Four Emperors's Blackbeard, Hachinosu? Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru have been sailing for quite some time and have only just arrived. With Vegapunk revealing the truth about the world, Sengoku is even more excited and restless, eager to rescue Garp as soon as possible before proceeding with the next step of his plan.

Although Garp was defeated by Aokiji and others, Garp life is still safe. He is currently imprisoned in the Hachinosu prison, with many thick chains binding his body to restrict Garp movements, preventing him from escaping despite his serious injuries, and waiting for Blackbeard to use his value.

However, to everyone's surprise, Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru's team suddenly appeared and stormed into Hachinosu, causing a huge sensation. They then arranged for other marines to go to the prison to rescue Garp, which was a feint. In the end, Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru defeated several officers and quickly left, because Garp had been successfully rescued. The next step was to quickly escape Hachinosu and meet up at the planned location.

After Sengoku and his group joined Garp's group to meet up and resist, Vice Admiral Tsuru led the marines back to Marine Headquarters first. Sengoku and Garp had something to say; the two old comrades wanted to chat and analyze the upcoming situation.

When only Sengoku and Garp remained, Sengoku's demeanor instantly changed. His voice and aura shifted, becoming that of a completely different person—a Garp found utterly unfamiliar. Sengoku's tone, expression, and the projections of the Four Emperors —Shanks, Kaido, Big Mom, Dragon of the Revolutionary Army, and Ace —made it seem as if Sengoku was being controlled by Imu. Was Imu trying to use Sengoku to kill his old comrade Garp?

Garp had already sensed that Sengoku was acting strangely, and immediately became alert and went all out. However, because Garp was already seriously injured, and Sengoku's fighting power had skyrocketed after he gained a strange aura, Garp was no match for him at this moment.

Sengoku quickly dodged the attack, and even though Garp was in full Haki mode, he was still slower than Sengoku, which shows just how powerful Imu- sama, the final boss, is!

And so, Sengoku unleashed a devastating attack directly at Garp's face using a combination of Haki and the Daibutsu's Shockwave. While it's uncertain whether this strike would kill Garp, it certainly worsened Garp previous injuries, as the Shockwave caused internal damage, putting Garp at a disadvantage.

After Red-Hair lost his arm in the East Blue, Hawkeye chose to become a Shichibukai. After the Reverie, Fujitora advocated abolishing the Shichibukai, which was accepted, and all the Shichibukai were no longer "legal pirates." Buggy, Boa Hancock, Weevil., and Hawkeye, these Shichibukai, returned to their status as pirates. Boa Hancock didn't care at all, but Hawkeye seemed very excited.

Upon learning of the abolition of the Shichibukai, Hawkeye smiled slightly and said, "Back to being hunted again, how exciting!" This statement implies that Hawkeye was constantly being hunted before joining the Shichibukai. A strongman like Hawkeye is no match for ordinary Marines. So, who was the powerful figure who captured Hawkeye back then?

The three Admiral during the Summit War — Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru —were no match for Red-Hair, and naturally, they were no match for Hawkeye years ago. It's almost certain that the Marines tasked with capturing Hawkeye were either Garp or Sengoku. At that time, Sengoku was likely still an Admiral, making him the most suitable candidate to capture Hawkeye.

I recently saw a picture of Hawkeye facing off against Sengoku. From a storyline perspective, there's a possibility of a duel between Sengoku and Hawkeye, and from a fan's perspective, it's also anticipated that Hawkeye could fight a powerful opponent like Sengoku. In the picture, Hawkeye is wielding the Black Blade Yoru, while Sengoku is in his Buddha Form. Judging from their expressions, Sengoku is struggling, while Hawkeye appears very relaxed.

Sengoku transforms into his Buddha Form, primarily using Shockwave as his attack. Hawkeye's Black Blade Yoru, on the other hand, has a wider range of techniques, including both basic attacks and sword aura strikes. The principle behind the Black Blade is well-known: it's essentially imbued with Armament Haki, giving it a natural advantage against Shockwave. Sengoku's Buddha Form should be countered by Black Blade Yoru; only then would Hawkeye truly deserve the title of the world's greatest Swordmaster.

Hawkeye came looking for Blackbeard and easily overwhelmed Shiryu and Lafitte, Angel-Angel Fruit.

As the true strongest member of the Cross Guild, Hawkeye should have been one of Buggy Four Emperors, but a blunder cost him that title. Moreover, Hawkeye never intended to be one of the Four Emperors, so being the true arbiter behind the scenes is quite good for him.

Hawkeye has come to Blackbeard to discuss potential cooperation, since the Cross Guild is currently turning against the Navy. A large-scale annihilation of the Marines would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Navy. It's just unexpected that Shiryu, so lacking in martial ethics, would dare to attack Hawkeye; he's incredibly audacious.

Shiryu's initiative backfired, leaving him bleeding from Hawkeye's Black Blade, Yoru, Meito even showed signs of damage. Is this Hawkeye's true fighting power? Moreover, his swordsmanship is even more astonishing; he can unleash devastating power with just a swing of his Black Blade, Yoru.

With just a simple, ordinary attack, Lafitte's Angel-Angel Fruit power wings bled profusely, and his expression was quite disheveled. The next moment, he was instantly knocked away, swept away along with Shiryu by Hawkeye's powerful impact, demonstrating the vast difference in their strength.

Moke slowly crouched down, gently placing his hand above Jora's forehead. He then slowly closed his eyes, focusing all his attention on the space between his palm and Jora. The instant he closed his eyes, the Absorb-Absorb Fruit ability within him was activated, and a powerful energy surged through his body like a raging torrent.

Moke focused intently on sensing the flow of this energy, carefully observing every subtle fluctuation and change. This energy was like a living entity, wandering through Moke's body, exploring every corner, searching for its target.

Time ticked by, and Moke remained highly focused, not daring to be distracted in the slightest. Finally, after a long wait, he sensed the goal he had been searching for. This goal was like a pearl hidden in the darkness, emitting a faint but undeniable light.

To Moke's surprise, this goal was tightly bound to Jora's soul! This discovery filled Moke with elation; he had originally thought it was just a slim hope, but now it seemed that his prediction might actually become a reality.

Moke's lips involuntarily curled upwards; he could no longer suppress his excitement. Since he could sense its presence so clearly, perhaps the move he had envisioned earlier really was feasible!

Thinking of this, Moke suddenly turned around and shouted to Sugar beside him, "Quickly go find me a piece of fruit!"

Sugar was taken aback by Moke's sudden request. She blinked and asked in confusion, "Fruit? What fruit?" Clearly, she didn't understand Moke's intentions at all, let alone why Moke would go to Jora, who had already been beaten to a pulp, at this time.

"Why are you pressing Jora's head down?" Moke wondered to himself, but casually replied, "An apple or a pineapple will do. "Sugar nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay!" Before she finished speaking, her movements were as fast as Inazuma, astonishing. In the blink of an eye, Sugar held a pineapple in her hand and steadily handed it to Moke.

Moke's eyes narrowed slightly, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips, like a cunning fox Fudō observing its prey. In that instant, the Devil Fruit Ability within him erupted like a long-suppressed volcano!

This force, like a surging ocean wave, swept across the entire space with overwhelming force. In an instant, a powerful suction force erupted from Moke's body, like a giant Black Hole, swallowing everything around it.

At the same time, a dark shadow seemed to be forcibly pulled out of Jora's head by an irresistible force. The shadow flew through the air at high speed, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, rushing straight toward the pineapple in Sugar's hand with astonishing speed and impact.

With a soft "plop," the dark figure was firmly pressed against the pineapple as if drawn in by an invisible force. This happened so quickly that people could barely see what the dark figure was.

However, what happened next was even more astonishing—in the blink of an eye, the surface of the pineapple seemed to be enchanted, and a layer of strange and intricate patterns quickly appeared. These patterns were as complex as a maze, or like some kind of ancient and mysterious spell, exuding a chilling aura.

Seeing this, Moke burst into laughter. His laughter echoed in the air, carrying a hint of smugness and arrogance, as if he were announcing his victory to everyone.

He never expected that his Paramecia ability would be so amazing, not only able to tear a demon from the body of Devil Fruit User, but also able to force it into an ordinary fruit!

What does this mean? It means that he also possesses the same ability as Blackbeard in the original work—the ability to hunt down the Devil Fruit abilities of other Devil Fruit users!

What does this mean? It means he has the ability to build a powerful army of Devil Fruit users! Compared to Kaido's Artificial Devil Fruit army, they are nothing but a drop in the ocean, not even in the same league!

Time flies like an arrow, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye. During these seven days, Robin, Mr. 1, and Mr. 2 all arrived here as requested by Moke. Moke's purpose in bringing them here was very clear: to officially take over Doflamingo's underground forces. Rebecca and Viola were assigned to support roles.

Of course, having already tasted the forbidden fruit, Moke wouldn't treat himself poorly. So, without any hesitation, he took Rebecca and Viola into his arms. When they followed Moke out of the room, both women's legs were trembling slightly, especially Rebecca, whose once rosy face was now as pale as paper, clearly indicating that she had suffered a serious injury.

For the first four days, Moke didn't disturb them, giving them enough time and space to adapt to their new environment and roles. However, in the last three days, things changed. They stayed inside all day, hardly ever stepping out of their rooms. Even basic necessities like meals were brought into the room by Baby-5.

However, Baby-5's role is far more than just delivering food. In fact, she also occasionally steps in to share some of the "firepower" from Moke with Rebecca and Viola. Even so, with Baby-5's help, the combined strength of the three of them is still far inferior to Moke's.

At this tense moment, Rebecca and Viola completely put aside all their worries and anxieties. The reason for this was none other than that Moke was truly an exceptionally good teacher.

At first, Rebecca simply stood quietly to the side, silently observing how Moke instructed Viola in combat. Her gaze followed Moke's every move closely, not missing a single detail, as if she wanted to etch them deeply into her mind.

Next, it was Viola's turn to watch Moke teach Rebecca. She was equally focused, not daring to relax for a moment, afraid of missing any key points. She listened carefully to every word Moke said, trying her best to understand its meaning, and memorizing the knowledge and skills.

Sometimes, the two would even receive instruction from Moke together. In this process, they learned from and honed their skills against each other, and their progress was remarkable.

In just one day, Rebecca and Viola mastered many new moves. These moves not only greatly improved their combat skills but also gave them a deeper understanding of combat.

They firmly believed that as long as they could fully digest these techniques, their combat power would experience a qualitative leap. However, at the same time, a sense of lingering fear also welled up in their hearts.

After all, Moke's strength was simply terrifying. If Robin and the others hadn't been there, they really couldn't imagine whether they would have been able to leave that room alive.

Robin's gaze swept quickly over Rebecca, Viola, and Baby-5, then turned to Moke and said slowly, "Captain, I arrived before the others. They should be arriving soon... As for Mr. 3, he stayed behind in the Florian Triangle to guard it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Robin seemed to suddenly remember something important. She quickly and gently nudged a little girl standing beside her forward, bringing her to Moke's side. Then, Robin introduced her to Moke, "Captain, this is Ms. Miss Goldenweek, whom you mentioned earlier. I brought her along as you requested; she was among the first group to arrive."

Ms. Miss Goldenweek is a name that is not unfamiliar to Moke. She is Mr. 3's partner. Although she is not Devil Fruit User, she possesses a very special and powerful ability—to control other people's emotions through the paint on her palette.

This ability is unique in the entire world of One Piece; it seems no one else can achieve it. Even though Devil Fruit User, Ms. Miss Goldenweek possesses strength comparable to that of Devil Fruit abilities.

For example, when she uses the "Betrayal Black" pigment, anyone who comes into contact with it will develop thoughts of betrayal, regardless of how important their relationship with their partner is. They might even deliberately contradict their partner.

The Laughter Yellow possesses a magical power; when it comes into contact with yellow pigment, it triggers an uncontrollable reaction of ecstatic laughter.

The Friendship Yellow-Green is a unique color created by mixing Calm Green and Laughter Yellow. When people or animals come into contact with this yellow-green pigment, they become exceptionally friendly, as if a special connection has been established between them, making them true friends.

Such an ability is practically heaven-defying! Knowing the value of Jora's Paramecia Art-Art Fruit, Moke handed it to her without hesitation. However, Ms. Miss Goldenweek looked puzzled, seemingly unaware of the fruit's origin and purpose. Not only her, but Rebecca and Viola exchanged glances, secretly shocked. "Devil Fruit?"

Robin was equally shocked; her knowledge of Devil Fruit made her realize the importance and rarity of this particular fruit. Sugar and Baby-5 were even more astonished, as they were there and witnessed the fruit's initial form—an ordinary pineapple.

If they knew that the captain possessed such astonishing abilities—the ability to extract powers from Devil Fruit users and create Devil Fruit —their jaws would probably drop to the floor! After all, they had personally witnessed it all, and the shock and disbelief they felt were still vivid in their minds.

Moke looked at Ms. Miss Goldenweek with a smile, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth revealing an enigmatic and mysterious smile. His voice was deep and gentle as he slowly said, "The reason I called you here is because of this." With that, he slowly reached out and carefully placed an exquisite box on the table.

The box's surface was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a faint light. Moke gently lifted the lid, as if it contained some rare treasure. As the lid was opened, a strange light burst forth from the box, instantly illuminating the entire room. Everyone's attention was drawn to this light, and they stared intently. Inside the box lay a fruit, its exterior a strange purple, covered with odd patterns, resembling some ancient totem.

"This is the Paramecia - Art-Art Fruit," Moke's voice revealed a hint of confidence. "I believe it will be perfect for you." His gaze fell on Ms. Miss Goldenweek, seemingly observing her reaction.

Ms. Miss Goldenweek's eyes lit up the moment she saw the fruit. She stared intently at it, as if captivated by its radiance. Her two greatest loves, besides tea, were painting. And painting, wasn't it a form of art? This fruit was, to her, a treasure she had always dreamed of.

While everyone was still marveling at the Paramecia - Art-Art Fruit, Moke quickly gave Sugar and Baby-5 a wink. This subtle gesture went unnoticed by the others, but Sugar and Baby-5 understood immediately. They swiftly placed the other three boxes containing Devil Fruit in front of Rebecca.

Moke's lips curled into a faint smile, his voice low and gentle, carrying a hint of barely perceptible indulgence. "These were all obtained from Doflamingo's treasure vault. They are: Zoan - Ancient Zoan Emperor Crocodile Form, Paramecia Bounce- Bouncy-Bouncy Fruit, Paramecia Spirit-Eye Fruit, and Logia Cloud- Cloud-Cloud Fruit. You can choose one from them."

Rebecca's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. She had never expected that Moke would offer her such precious fruits to choose from, especially since there was an Ancient Zoan Zoan a Logia Devil Fruit among them—it was simply beyond her imagination!

"For me?" Rebecca's voice trembled slightly, her heart filled with surprise and emotion. She had never imagined that she would have such an opportunity.

Moke chuckled softly, seemingly having anticipated Rebecca's reaction. He looked at Rebecca tenderly, a barely perceptible tenderness flashing in his eyes, and said softly, "You are now my woman, so naturally I won't mistreat you."

A happy smile immediately bloomed on Rebecca's face, and her originally pale face turned rosy because of it. Her heart was filled with sweetness and joy, as if the whole world had become a better place because of Moke's words.

However, Viola, standing to the side, thought much more deeply. She understood the deeper meaning behind Moke's actions; it wasn't just a sign of affection for Rebecca, but also a recognition and appreciation of both of them. This meant that they held a special place in Moke's heart.

Viola was secretly pleased. She knew she would stay, while Rebecca would definitely be taken away by Moke. This was undoubtedly a constraint, preventing either of them from easily leaving Moke. But at the same time, it was also a promise, demonstrating Moke's regard and trust in them.

Therefore, Rebecca was much more at ease knowing she could eat a Devil Fruit. At least, she now had the ability to protect herself.
