He could already sense Ryuya's ambition.
If Aokiji didn't work harder, he really wouldn't have a chance!
Sighing, Sengoku continued to handle other matters.
Ryuya, on the other hand, sailed alone towards Punk Hazard on a large Admiral-class warship.
Looking at the document in his hand, Ryuya stood on the deck, in a good mood.
The Special Science Group, in terms of combat power, wasn't that strong.
Ryuya was mainly interested in a researcher named Vegapunk.
Vegapunk was called a genius scientist who surpassed human intelligence by 500 years.
This was enough to prove Vegapunk's terrifying research capabilities.
As Ryuya sailed across the sea,
He saw a dark island slowly approaching him.
With Ryuya's extraordinary eyesight, he could see the flag waving on it.
The flag bore a skull with a fiery onion-head hairstyle and a bunch of bat wings with flames.
The front of the island resembled a giant mouth.
According to Ryuya's deduction, it was probably designed to capture passing ships.
"This must be Thriller Bark! The largest pirate ship!"
Ryuya muttered, but compared to his Noah's Ark,
This island was slightly smaller.
"It seems that Moria must have failed his challenge against Kaido, but he dares to block my path. He's quite confident!"
Ryuya smiled, an unknown light flashing in his eyes.
"A New Threat"
Thriller Bark.
In the palace at the center of the island,
Perona used her Ghost abilities to separate from her body, floating freely around the island.
"Captain, this place is so beautiful. I've never seen such a beautiful place!"
Perona floated in the air, excitedly saying to Moria in front of her.
Moria looked at Perona and said with his signature laugh, "Hehehe, Perona, if only I had met you earlier. With your Devil Fruit abilities, you could have rendered most of Kaido's pirates combat-incapable!"
Moria sighed, "It's such a pity. In this battle, I didn't even see Kaido's face before I was defeated by his subordinates. I wasted so many zombies. It's infuriating!"
After saying this, Moria looked at Perona, but found that she wasn't listening to him.
Instead, she was looking at the surrounding decorations, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Speaking of which, your preferences are really hard to understand. You look so cute, yet you like such dark things."
"Dark? Where's the darkness? It's clearly cute, you just don't appreciate it!"
Perona retorted.
As soon as Perona finished speaking, she suddenly reacted.
She looked at her side in shock. A person she had never seen before was floating beside her.
The words she had just heard were clearly spoken by this suddenly appeared person.
Moria also reacted belatedly, looking at Ryuya floating in the air in disbelief, his heart pounding.
"Navy?! How did you get in?!"
Moria looked at Ryuya seriously.
Once he figured out Ryuya's true identity, he would attack, making this intruder experience true power!
As for Ryuya's identity, Moria truly didn't know.
Because of Thriller Bark, no news birds were willing to come here.
Plus, Moria had been preparing for his battle with Kaido recently.
Therefore, he didn't know that the Navy had changed.
The Admiral he knew had become the Fleet Admiral!
Ryuya, using the power of his talismans, floated in the air, arms crossed.
A faint aura emanated from his body.
"Don't you recognize me?"
Ryuya was somewhat surprised.
Logically speaking, most people on the sea should recognize his outfit.
Why didn't these two recognize him? Were they really country bumpkins?
Perona said to Ryuya, "Hey, you must be thinking something bad."
"You found out, huh? Then I'll give you a reward, okay?!"
Ryuya's lips curled up, "I'll reward you by letting you join my camp. Do you agree?"
Arrogant!
Too arrogant!
Moria's patience had completely run out with this suddenly appearing Navy member!
"No matter who you are in the Navy! Since you dare to appear before me, don't expect to leave alive!"
Moria was feeling ashamed and angry about being defeated by Kaido.
Someone had appeared before him, so he would use him to vent his anger!
If others on the sea knew Moria's thoughts,
They would give Moria a thumbs up and say, "You're awesome!"
Ryuya merely glanced at Moria.
His spiritual pressure, like that of a terrifying beast, surged towards Moria.
In an instant, Moria felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
His body was frozen, unable to move.
Just one glance!
Moria lost all his strength and dared not attack Ryuya.
The terrifying pressure forced Moria to kneel before Ryuya.
When Moria's huge body knelt down,
A loud "thump" echoed.
Perona watched this scene in shock.
Her cherry lips parted slightly, unsure of what to say.
"What's going on? Why did the Captain kneel down?"
Perona's words reached Moria's ears.
Moria wanted to resist, even just to make a sound, but he couldn't.
He felt that his internal organs were about to shift under this pressure, similar to Haki of the Conqueror!
But his voice couldn't come out under this immense pressure.
Can't provoke!
Absolutely can't provoke him!
A strong survival instinct made Moria kneel down before Ryuya.
Boom!
Moria's forehead slammed into the ground.
The ground cracked, and blood seemed to seep out.
This was the first time Ryuya had seen such a "sincere" kneeling.
Therefore, Ryuya relaxed slightly.
Moria felt the pressure of the Haki of the Conqueror lessen.
Making Moria feel slightly more comfortable.
Then, without hesitation, Moria said to Ryuya, "I don't know who you are, but your target must be Perona. Take her and leave. Just spare my life..."
