Moria the Pirate - Chapter 203
c203 Terrifying casualty figures
“captain!”
“The latest battle statistics are out!”
Harvey took the statistics and went to the rooftop and saw Moriah alone.
However, Moria didn’t seem to hear Harvey’s words, and just looked at the battlefield blankly.
“captain!”
Even though Harvey came to Moriah and called softly, Moriah remained unmoved.
Just when Harvey was about to step forward, a hand grabbed him from behind. When he looked up, he saw that it was the old swordsman.
“give it to me!”
The old swordsman looked at Harvey and said.
Harvey nodded, knowing that his captain was in a bad mood. After handing the statistics in his hand to the old swordsman, he turned and left.
The old swordsman leaned on the railing, looking into the distance like Moria, without speaking.
The two of them stood quietly like this, the sea breeze blowing in front of them was mixed with the slightest smell of blood.
“well!”
After an unknown amount of time, Moria sighed, breaking the tranquility.
“This time, I was wrong!”
Since the spread of ancient writing, today is exactly the 15th day.
These 15 days may have been a carnival for the entire pirate world, especially in the current Capital of Seven Waters. The climax of this feast has just begun.
But in half a month, it was a disaster for Moria’s pirate group.
Countless pirates swarmed in. At first, Moria could use the advantage of artillery fire to deal with these pirates from the new world. However, as time went by, the number of enemies increased, and the power of the opponent’s artillery fire also increased. The increase, coupled with the supply of artillery shells, could not keep up with the consumption of artillery shells. Even if Moria had prepared before, the mountain of artillery shells was quickly consumed. At the same time, many cannons were scrapped due to overheating of the barrels, or were lost in battles.
Moreover, as the number of pirates increased, Moria’s advantage in artillery fire gradually became less obvious.
When artillery fire could not solve the problem, for the safety of the defense line, Moria’s men could only engage in hand-to-hand combat.
In terms of artillery fire, Moria still has an advantage, but in close combat, Moria’s crew is still far from enough to face the pirates of the New World.
After all, the first half of the Grand Line is called “Paradise” by the pirates of the New World!
It can be seen from here that compared to the New World in the first half, the strength of the pirates is not at the same level at all.
Even if Moria did not hesitate to spend money, he worked hard to improve the strength of his men in all aspects.
But facing these pirates from the new world, Moria’s pirate group is still very struggling. After all, the gap between the new world and the paradise cannot be eliminated so easily.
From the beginning of the contact battle, the Moria Pirates’ casualty data began to rise sharply.
When the battle was at its fiercest, not even the captain Moria had any time to rest.
This is why Moria has always asked his men to avoid contact with pirates in the New World and engage in close combat.
In the Moria plan, the most ideal situation is to be able to rely on the advantage of weapons to stop the incoming pirates.
But if the pirates in the new world can be wiped out by these cannonballs, then the navy has long wiped out all the pirates in the world. Where is the so-called era of great pirates?
Over the past few days, the bright red casualty figures have deeply hurt Moria. Spreading the ancient texts and Pluto’s affairs is the right choice.
“There is no right or wrong in this world.”
“Only the winner can judge right from wrong!”
The old swordsman said,
“Captain, didn’t you say this?”
“yes!”
“Right or wrong, what’s the use?”
Moria took a deep breath and said slowly,
“Jia Lao, tell me about the casualties!”
When the old swordsman heard what Moria said, he nodded silently, picked up the casualty data in his hand, and slowly spoke,
“Since the 15 days of fighting, the total number of crew casualties has reached 5,647.”
“Among them, 3,481 people died and 1,587 were seriously injured, losing the possibility of fighting.”
“Non-staff personnel, including subordinate pirate groups, bounty hunters, mercenaries, etc.”
“The total casualties were 13,450, of which 7,862 were killed.”
“…”
Data after data was read out by the old swordsman. It was not until the last word that the old swordsman stopped.
He looked up at Moria.
It took a long time for Moria to react.
“That is to say, the casualties of our pirate group have exceeded half.”
“Those vassal pirate groups, bounty hunters who received missions, etc. were almost all wiped out!”
The old swordsman didn’t know how to answer Moria, so he just nodded silently.
“That doesn’t even count the pirate prisoners who serve as cannon fodder.”
The old swordsman added another sentence.
Such a number means that Moria’s efforts of more than a year have been almost exhausted in just half a month.
“hateful!”
Moria couldn’t help it, and instantly exploded with aura, unintentionally triggering the overlord-like domineering energy in his body.
However, Moria calmed down immediately, regained his momentum, turned around and left.
Looking at Moria’s back, the old swordsman was shocked.
“This, this is…”
Perhaps other people didn’t know what happened just now, but the old swordsman next to Moria could clearly feel that Moria’s Conqueror Haki had erupted.
From the time he met Moria until now, the old swordsman didn’t know that Moria had Conqueror Haki.
Perhaps it was not long after he awakened Conqueror Haki, or it could be that he was hiding it deliberately.
If it is the first possibility, it doesn’t matter, but if it is the second possibility, it means that Moria has great ambitions.
It seems that this captain of ours also has a lot of secrets!
However, the old swordsman calmed down immediately and stopped thinking about this aspect.
Isn’t it better that our captain has the potential of Conqueror Haki that is one in a million?
Anyway, he is already an old man, and he just wants to enjoy his old age.
“I don’t know how far you can go!”
The old swordsman murmured.
In this life, I have seen countless pirates who have the Conqueror’s Haki since they went to sea at the age of 15. Even the old swordsman once followed a captain with the Conqueror’s Haki, but only a few of them finally achieved hegemony.
Unexpectedly, in this life, the last captain also has the Conqueror’s Haki.
What a fate!
The old swordsman shook his head, smiled bitterly, followed Moria’s footsteps, and left the empty rooftop.
“Really hidden!”
In the distance, Kizaru on the navy warship said this inexplicably.
“What?”
Vice Admiral Chaton, who was drinking tea next to him, did not react and did not know what Kizaru had just said.
Kizaru did not answer, but smiled without saying anything.
Perhaps the time when Moria just burst out the Conqueror’s Haki was very short. Except for the old swordsman next to him, no one noticed Moria’s Conqueror’s Haki.
Even later, Chaton, who became a candidate for the admiral, did not notice what had just happened.
But Kizaru is not among these people.
Perhaps Kizaru gives the impression to the outside world that he only knows how to rely on the power of the fruit, but is it really that easy to become an admiral?
Every time he goes on a mission and fights against pirates, Kizaru may not be the one with the most military exploits, but he is definitely the one with the least injuries.
This is not only the effect of the Flash Fruit, but more importantly, Kizaru’s terrifying observation Haki.
Imagine that at the speed of light, the eyes have completely lost their function, and the only thing you can rely on is the observation Haki.
The faster the movement speed, the higher the requirements for observation Haki.
Just like Moriah’s Shadow Warrior skill, the speed of teleportation has reached the limit, unless Moriah’s observation Haki can break through again.
It can be said that among the three admirals, Kizaru’s observation Haki is the most terrifying, or in other words, in the navy, Kizaru’s observation Haki is also the strongest.
Moriah’s fleeting Domineering Haki was captured by Kizaru.
