Chapter 77: Sir Marine, Save Us
Chapter 77: Sir Marine, Save Us!
"Marine, the marine is here!"
The thin old man walked up to Solo with an excited tone and trembling hands. He never imagined that he could see the marine in such a place. And this exclamation is more like a signal to make more and more people emerge from the mist.
The emaciated old man fell to his knees before Solo with a plop and burst into tears, "Sir Marine, please save us!"
As soon as this remark came out, other people followed the action of the thin old man one after another, kneeling in front of Solo, weeping their faces, begging Solo to save them.
This sudden scene naturally made Solo surprise. On the contrary, Robin was the first to observe the feet of these people. Surprisingly, none of these people had a shadow under their feet.
"What exactly is going on? Who are you? Why do you have no shadow?"
Seeing this, Robin simply asked her doubts. In addition to this question, she is also very curious about what is happening on this island.
So, the thin old man told the truth about what he knew. These people are not pirates but ordinary civilians. They usually do some sea transportation work. In the end, Moria lured them here until today. While speaking, the old man was crying continuously.
"And the owner here is Gecko Moria, one of the Shichibukai!"
"Sure enough..." Solo stared slightly, thinking to himself. In any case, the plot of "One Piece" is too long, and he can't remember every detail.
For him, he only analyzes and judges. Now he can confirm it after hearing what the old man said. That "flow bottle" is the key to entering the Florian Triangle.
"Once the shadow is taken away by Moria, the body cannot touch the sunlight. Otherwise, it will be burned to ashes by the strong sunlight."
At this moment, another man interjected, "Once the main body dies, our shadow will disappear. To prevent our shadow from disappearing, that fellow Moria is willing to hide us here. We can only live in this fog day and night. We're people but are not like people, and we're like ghosts but are not like ghosts."
This kind of life is so painful that when they found Solo wearing a marine uniform, they begged for help. On the one hand, Solo has a navy identity, and he just killed the animal zombie with just one punch.
It is enough to prove that he is powerful. After explaining the ins and outs, the thin old man knocked his forehead heavily on the ground.
"Please, Sir Marine, help us get our shadow back!"
Others echoed one after another, pinning their hope on Solo. Robin, who was standing beside Solo, couldn't help but frown and turned to look at Solo's side face.
What Solo once said to Princess Vivi emerged in her mind. The so-called justice...
It is to ensure the life and health of the people.
Let the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Let the people have something to depend on in old age.
Let the people live with dignity.
The civilians who appeared in front of them had nothing. The scariest thing is the identity of Gecko Moria, a Shichibukai. A pirate recognized by the World Government. This means that if Moria doesn't abandon his identity, and the World Government doesn't ban the system of Shichibukai, whether it's the Marine Headquarters, which symbolizes justice at sea, or the Enies Lobby, which symbolizes judicial justice neither can't do anything to him
"Unless Moria is defeated by pirates, otherwise, these people can only live in this ghost place for the rest of their lives."
Just thinking about that future makes Robin feel pitiful for these people. But then again—
Shichibukai.
Three Admirals of the Marine.
New World's Four Emperors.
They are known as the three major forces on Grand Line. Especially in the first half of Grad Line, a pirate capable of defeating Moria, does it really exists?
"Solo, what are you going to do?"
Robin stared slightly at Solo's side face.
"It's... troublesome." Solo sighed helplessly.
The reason why he entered the Florian Triangle and didn't choose to bypass it was because he planned to capture the Straw Hats and hand them over to Sengoku in exchange for a chance to return to East Blue.
Unexpectedly, e met these people. Considering what happened to them, it is pretty poor. Most importantly, they're neither pirates nor honest and responsible civilians.
In any case, the "bottles" that Moria threw out did not have the ability to tell whether the person who opened it was a pirate or a commoner, they can only be lured. Moreover, the strength of the zombie mainly depends on the strength of the corpse.
The function of the shadow is to give the zombie fighters kinetic energy. After all, with no shadow, even the most powerful zombies cannot move. Even if it is a civilian with little combat effectiveness, his shadow is not useless to Moria.
"I see."
After thinking about it carefully, Solo finally relaxed his tone. But he couldn't help complaining.
Moria is obviously a strong man. When he went to the New World to go and unleash his ambition was hammered by Kaido once and lost all vigor. No wonder he is called the shame of all Shichibukai.
"I will find a way to get your shadow back."
Solo opened his mouth slowly, assuring the old people kneeling on the ground. In his view, the fighting of these civilians is close to zero and their shadows aren't very valuable either.
He'll discuss with Moria to let him return the shadows of these civilians. From then on, their road will be connected on each side, and walk on one side to capture the Straw Hats and go to Marineford to do business while the other will continue to be a coward in the Florian Triangle. The best scenario for them.
After Solo said these words loudly, all the people present had tears in their eyes. For them, any promise now is great news. What's more, it is still a very powerful marine.
The thin old man kowtowed three times to Solo before raising his eyes. It's just that he quickly seemed to think of something and hastily looked around. Unexpectedly, within his line of sight, he only saw Solo wearing a marine uniform.
Except for Solo and Robin, he didn't see the second human being with a shadow.
"Wait, what about the other marines?"
The thin old man couldn't help asking. In his impression, isn't the marine based on troops?
"Marine? Just the two of us." Solo replied without thinking.
"To deal with Moria, the two of us are almost enough."
Robin on the side heard his words, "???"
