"Huff... huff..."
After a life-or-death battle, Zoro, panting heavily, sheathed his three swords and walked away silently into the distance.
But as Zoro walked, he realized something was wrong.
He...: ...Why are we back at the castle again?
"Um?"
Perona, who was lost in thought outside the castle, immediately looked surprised when she saw Zoro and said, "Didn't you say you were leaving? Why are you back?"
Zoro: ....
He couldn't very well say he got lost, could he?
"You haven't gotten lost again, have you?" Perona asked Zoro with a suspicious look.
A few days ago, this guy got lost in the forest outside.
If she hadn't happened to run into this guy while she was out wandering around as a ghost, he might have starved to death outside.
Zoro blushed immediately after hearing Perona's words.
This scene made Perona burst out laughing.
"Hala hala hala~"
Hearing Perona's laughter, Zoro's face turned even redder.
After mocking Zoro, Perona said, "With your abilities, you'll probably never be able to leave this island in your lifetime."
"Impossible!" Zoro immediately retorted, "I can definitely get out!"
"Whatever you want," Perona said, shaking her head.
Clearly, the Ghost Princess wasn't going to argue with this man, after all... he was terrible with directions.
Just then, a newsbird flew over from a distance and chirped at the two of them, clearly asking if they wanted to buy a newspaper.
This is something that happens frequently to Newsbird.
"One order, please!" Perona said, waving her hand.
Upon hearing Perona's words, the newsbird immediately flew down from the sky and quickly arrived beside the two.
After taking a newspaper out of his backpack and handing it to Perona, the newsbird spread its wings toward Perona.
"Gah!!"
Clearly, they're asking Perona for money.
"Forehead.....
7
Looking at the newsbird's wing, Perona paused for a moment, then turned to Zoro and asked, "Do you have money?"
When she was photographed, she didn't have a single pele on her, so she couldn't afford to buy a newspaper.
Thinking of this, Perona gave an embarrassed look.
However, the awkward look in Perona's eyes disappeared when she thought that she was this man's savior.
Having saved someone's life... asking for money to buy a newspaper isn't unreasonable, is it?
"Why would you buy a newspaper if you don't have money?" Zoro retorted.
As he spoke, Zoro reached into his pocket to see if he had any Berries left.
Finally, he took out a 1000-dollar bill from his pocket.
"Here, take this," Zoro said. "This is all the money I have left."
"there is none left?"
"there is none left."
Perona:
..
Isn't this guy a combatant in the Straw Hat Pirates? Why does he only have so little money in his pocket?
Perhaps sensing the meaning in Perona's eyes, Zoro explained, "I don't usually carry money in my pockets."
Only when they encounter an island can they receive some pocket money from Nami.
And that thousand Berries was what he had left over from buying hops.
"A thousand it is, it's better than nothing," Perona muttered.
Then, she turned to the news bird and said, "You can't take it all, remember to give me my change, okay!"
"Otherwise, I'll use my negative energy to deal with you!"
Newsbird:
The newsbird looked at Perona with some helplessness. It wasn't a robber; how could it just take a thousand Berries and run away?
After shaking his head helplessly, Newsbird took out nine steel coins from his backpack and handed them to Perona, while gesturing for her to give him the thousand-dollar bill.
"That's more like it~"
Perona nodded in satisfaction, and then exchanged blows with the other party.
Seeing this, Zoro stroked his chin and said, "Why does this scene feel somewhat familiar?"
Speaking of which...didn't Nami try to bargain with the news bird back then?
Thinking about this, Zoro fell into deep thought.
After sending the newsbird away, Perona picked up the newspaper and prepared to read its contents.
"I wonder if there's any news about Lord Moria in the newspapers," Perona muttered.
After saying that, Perona noticed the latest news in the newspaper.
"The Blood-Eyed Ninja... wreaking havoc in Mary Geoise?!"
"Um?"
"A blood-eyed ninja?!"
Perona's eyes bulged in shock as she looked at the words on the newspaper.
Isn't this the red-eyed bastard who showed her the cockroach?
How did this guy end up in a place like Mary Geoise?
"Is it news from Xiyan?!"
Upon hearing Perona's words, Zoro immediately rushed over, his expression excited, and asked, "What happened?"
"Here it is." Perona turned the newspaper around and said to Zoro, "Your companion went and caused a ruckus in Mary Geoise."
"Mariejoia?"
Zoro was stunned for a moment. What place was that?
"It's a place where the world's nobility live," Perona explained. "I've heard some people mention it."
"World nobility?"
Zoro asked in shock, "Why would Xiyan go to a place like that?"
"How am I supposed to know?" Perona said, speechless.
This time, Zoro didn't retort, but instead took the newspaper and read it carefully.
Looking at it this way, it has been almost half an hour.
Then, Zoro looked up and said, "What on earth is going on...?"
Why did west Yan cause such a ruckus in Mary Geoise?
Also, where did Luffy go?
One question after another arose in Zoro's mind, making him somewhat irritable.
Perona, who was sitting on the rock looking bored, said, "If even you can't see the problem, then there's even less chance that I can."
"After all, I'm not his partner."
"partner......
Upon hearing Perona's name, a flash of inspiration struck Zoro.
Yes, partner!
"I think I know what Xiyan is trying to say!" Zoro suddenly said excitedly.
"What are you trying to say?" Perona asked curiously.
She just said it casually, but the other person actually noticed the problem?
"Take a look at this."
Zoro pointed to the symbol on Xiyan's arm and said, "This is what Xiyan wanted to express."
Perona stared intently at west Yan's arm for a while after hearing this, then looked at Zoro with a confused expression and asked, "Is there something wrong with this tattoo?"
Although the tattoo looked a bit strange, there were many strange things on this sea, so Perona didn't see anything wrong with it.
"Of course there's a problem!"
Zoro pointed to the 3D with an X and said, "This is the agreement we made back in Sabaody Archipelago."
"But the 3D effect is marked with an 'X,' which means the three-day event has been canceled."
"And this '2Y' means changing three days into two years!"
"Considering what happened to us in the Sabaody Archipelago..."
At this point, Zoro paused for a moment, then said with a firm look in his eyes, "What Xiyan is trying to say is that we should reunite in two years!"
At this moment, Zoro understood what Xiyan was trying to say!
west Yan wants everyone to use these two years to cultivate and strengthen themselves, so that... they won't have to go through what happened before!
With that thought in mind, Zoro changed his mind.
He looked up at the castle behind him, his gaze gradually hardening.
To become powerful enough, he must find Hawkeye!
"What you said does make a lot of sense, but why can't it be another possibility?" Perona said.
"for example?"
"For example, Straw Hat Luffy might have already been killed," Perona said, making a face to scare Zoro. "After all, he went through that kind of brutal battle, so it's possible he was killed."
Zoro paused for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head and said, "Impossible."
Why?
"If Xiyan really just wanted to avenge Luffy, he wouldn't have put this design on his arm," Zoro said.
He preferred to trust his own judgment rather than Perona's.
Besides... he didn't believe Luffy would die!
"You're really optimistic."
"No, I just trust my comrades," Zoro said.
He then handed the newspaper to Perona and said, "Here you go, take a look at the information at the back. I just saw Moria's name."
Although I didn't look closely, I did see those three words.
After Perona took the newspaper, Zoro resolutely headed towards the castle.
"I never expected to find news about Lord Moria here! This is wonderful!" Perona exclaimed excitedly.
As she spoke, she flipped to the back of the newspaper and quickly read through the information about Moria.
"Moria is being pursued by the Navy, and his fate is unknown..."
Perona froze the moment she saw this scene.
Then, the Ghost Princess hugged the newspaper and burst into tears.
"Lord Moriah!!"
Hearing the voice behind him, Zoro immediately stopped and turned to look at Perona.
Zoro sighed after seeing the girl sitting there crying.
"Why....
.
Then he turned around and strode towards Perona.
"No?!" Satan said with a grim expression, "You mean... there weren't any Blood-Eyed Ninja corpses inside those colossal sea kings, right?!"
"Yes."
The guard said with a grim expression, "After receiving Saint Shamlock's orders, we began to deal with the corpses of those colossal sea kings, but we couldn't find the Blood-Eyed Ninja's body at all."
They haven't found even any human body tissue.
It's like... it's like the Blood-Eyed Ninja wasn't eaten by these big guys at all!
Satan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Go look again, even if you can only find one arm!"
"We've searched several times, but..."
"I told you to go and look again, don't you understand?" Satan Saint glared at him.
"Yes, Lord Satan!" the guard replied.
He then closed the door and left.
After the other party left, Satan slammed his fist on the table and said, "Damn it, if we really can't find the Blood-Eyed Ninja's body, then our losses this time will be huge!!"
In this way, they not only failed to obtain the bloodline power of the Blood-Eyed Ninja, but also caused great losses to the Holy Land!
"Now we can only pray that these guys just missed it," Nasujiro said, rubbing his temples.
If we lose so many and still can't get the Blood-Eyed Ninja's corpse... then Nasujuro Sei would find this loss unacceptable.
Just then, Saint Vochuli said, "Do you think... is it possible that the Blood-Eyed Ninja didn't actually die?"
"You think he brought those sea monsters?" Maz Saint asked, glancing at his old friend.
"That's possible."
"I know what you're trying to say," Mazsan said, "but the one who can command the Sea Kings is the legendary fish-woman princess, not a human!"
"What's more, the Blood-Eyed Ninja is a man!"
Therefore, the other party could absolutely not be the legendary mermaid princess.
Upon hearing this, Saint Vochuli paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true."
It seems he was overthinking it.
"Don't worry, that guy is definitely dead," said Saint Pitt. "This is something that Saint Shamlock and Borsalino both confirmed."
They were still willing to trust the judgment of these two high-ranking generals.
"Then there shouldn't be any problem," Sacred Vochuli nodded.
Although they might not get the Blood-Eyed Ninja's body, at least they can confirm that the guy has been killed.
This can be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Thinking of this, Sacred Vochuli and his other old friends exchanged glances, then sighed silently.
A moment later, Nassshuro said, "I wonder how Morgans' newspaper is coming along."
The blood-eyed ninja's corpse can be searched slowly, but the publication of the newspaper cannot be delayed!
"The newspaper will be published tomorrow," said Saint Satan. "Then we'll know the details."
"Will that guy try anything funny?"
"He wouldn't dare."
Morgans wouldn't resort to underhanded tactics at a time like this if he didn't want to die; otherwise, he would be making an enemy of the World Government!
That guy wouldn't do that if he were smart enough.
"That's true," Nasujiro nodded.
Just then, Satan stood up, took his cane, and walked out step by step.
Where are you going?
"I'll go out and take a look," said Satan Saint. "Let's see if we can collect a blood sample from the Blood-Eyed Ninja."
If blood samples can be collected, research can be attempted.
"Will this work?"
"It's better than doing nothing," Saint Satan said calmly.
After saying this, the old man pushed open the door and left.
The four people inside the room exchanged glances, then sighed silently.
Their losses this time have been enormous!
