Chapter 260 (cont.)

Then he went back to swinging his red blade.

"Captain, we've reached the Florian Triangle. Thriller Bark should come into view any moment. Do you want to take a look?"

Just then, Lafitte entered the Training Room. He twirled his cane and asked Chris with polite deference.

He was a little worried. Moria was a Shichibukai, after all.

"Not yet. Wait until Moria comes out. And I won't step in unless things get truly dangerous."
