"Can you save me?" A trembling voice came from beneath Shalria's seat. A female pirate looked up at Moke, her eyes filled with endless pleading and longing.
Moke raised an eyebrow slightly. After quickly sweeping his gaze over the woman before him, he turned to Jean Bart beside him.
Jean Bart nodded knowingly and introduced her. "This lady is Xiang Xianggu, former captain of the Mushroom Pirates. Her bounty is an astonishing 130 million Beli! And supposedly, she's mastered an extremely rare special martial art!"
Moke was slightly surprised upon hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure.
After all, in the first half of the Grand Line, where legends were everywhere, pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million were hardly unusual.
However, upon learning that she possessed such a unique combat technique, Moke secretly pondered, Such talent is truly rare. If I can recruit her, she'll surely be of great use in the future.
At that thought, the corner of Moke's mouth curled upward as he lightly swung the Flame Demon Blade in his hand.
In an instant, a crisp snapping sound rang out, and the heavy shackles on Xiang Xianggu's body shattered.
Having finally escaped her predicament, Xiang Xianggu immediately rose to her feet with a delighted expression and thanked her savior. "Thank you very much, respected Captain..."
Before she could finish speaking, she moved without hesitation behind Moke, as though she had found a solid pillar to rely on.
Yet at that moment, Moke suddenly turned his head and looked directly at Xiang Xianggu. Then he jerked his chin toward Shalria and said, "Take this one away. This captain happens to need a Celestial Dragon as a personal maid."
As he spoke, a teasing and covetous look surfaced in his eyes. Tsk, tsk!
*A female Celestial Dragon, too...
