Moria the Pirate.

Wanting to carry out many of the next plans, naturally, Moria can no longer stay on the terrifying barque.

After being in seclusion for so long, it’s time to go out and walk around.

Moria's first stop was to the Capital of Seven Waters, which is adjacent to the Magic Triangle.

Moria has not forgotten that according to the timeline, Tom the Fishman was killed during this period. The main reason was that the World Government wanted to seize Pluto's design drawings.

The character in the plot, the commander of CP9, Spandam, will also appear at this time. Of course, he is not the commander of CP9 yet.

For Moria, such people are the best candidates to use the Shadow Technique, so that they can better understand the mysterious espionage organization of the World Government.

Of course, in terms of growth, Lu Qi, who has just joined CP9, is the best choice. After all, many years later, Lu Qi's growth is visible to the naked eye, joining CP0 and becoming Spandam's boss.

However, Moria didn't know where Lucci was now. He might be training at one of the World Government's training bases, or he might be somewhere else.

To put it bluntly, it was Moriah, and I didn’t know where the other party was. Otherwise, Lu Qi would definitely be a better choice.

Of course, who can say clearly what will happen in the future?

Spandam has a father who holds a high position in the CP organization. His relationship alone is enough to save him many years of struggle.Moreover, even if the trajectory does not change, Spandam has also become CP0.

Under the influence of the Shadow Technique, Moria can subtly influence Spandam. Although his original character is still the main character, it can still be done to make him avoid the detours in the original work.

In fact, in Moria's view, Spandam's biggest shortcoming is its own strength, even with a little training.

If you think about it from another perspective, a weakling whose power level is not even that of an ordinary naval soldier can step by step reach a high position in this monster-like world of pirates, and even enter CP0, even if he has a good father. , but if you don’t have some ability, no matter how big the background is, it’s useless.

Of course, things like the Celestial Dragons or the Five Old Stars are another matter.

In any case, Moria thinks that Spandam is incomparable in terms of position management and power struggle. Putting himself in the same position, he may not be as good as him.

As long as Moria can make up for his shortcomings and give him some guidance, Spandam's life will definitely go higher and further.

Moria's pirate ship came to the Seven Waters Capital. People in the Seven Waters Capital were already accustomed to this phenomenon.

After all, such a huge project as transforming the terrifying three-masted sailboat would inevitably involve dealing with the shipyards in the Capital of Seven Waters.Now, most of the shipyards in the Seven Waters Capital are involved in Moria's renovation project.

There is an endless flow of various materials and personnel coming and going every day, and everyone is already familiar with the flag of the Moria Pirate Ship.

Moreover, in order to avoid so much trouble, the old swordsman directly purchased a shipyard in the Capital of Seven Rivers and used it as a base to greet various shipyards in the Capital of Seven Rivers.

As for Moria coming to the Capital of Seven Waters in person, everyone just looked at it curiously, then stopped paying attention and continued to do their own things.

In short, during this period of time, the outside world's impression of the Moria Pirates was just one word: money, crazy money-grabbing.

All pirates who pass through the Magic Triangle will be exploited by Moria.

Moria set up a checkpoint directly on the route passing through the Magic Triangle. Dozens of pirate ships were lined up in a row, and the dense cannons on the ships made people shudder.

As long as you are a pirate, if you want to pass through here, you must pay one hundred thousand beli, which is euphemistically called: navigation fee.

Of course, if the pirate group receives the mission issued by Moria, they can pass for free as long as they show the voucher.

For ordinary people, this amount is much less, and they only need to pay a management fee of [-] beli. As for merchant ships, it is slightly more expensive, and they need to pay [-] beli.

Although the amount is not very large, the ships coming and going, if calculated carefully, this is also a considerable amount of income.

Naturally, many people opposed Moria's crazy approach at the beginning.

The world government only collects "heavenly gold" and collects taxes. I have never heard that it is necessary to collect baileys when sailing on the sea.

Of course these pirates won't do it. If you ask us to pay [-] beli, isn't this robbery in disguise?

Pirates have always been the only ones to rob others, so how come they are now being robbed?

So, at the beginning, many pirate groups united and began to attack this so-called toll gate, but in the end, they were all ruthlessly suppressed by Moria.

Having already come this far, naturally I don’t want to go back and take a long detour. After all, the time wasted in this way is not 01:30.

Therefore, these pirates just pinched their noses and began to pay the fee honestly.

At the same time, Moria's mission system has also attracted the attention of many pirate groups. They are naturally very interested in this kind of money-making thing that can be passed for free.

But after all, these pirate groups have their own thoughts and many tasks, and they are not in the Magic Triangle. Once they leave Moria's sphere of influence, some pirates will inevitably have bad intentions, which causes Moria to suffer heavy losses.

For this reason, Moria dispersed the pirate groups who came to take the mission in batches. That is to say, people from the same pirate group must not be allowed to do a task, but people from multiple pirate groups should be mixed together. Let’s accomplish it together.

At the same time, the pirate group or others who come to do the mission must pay a certain deposit in advance, so that defection may occur, causing the mission to fail, and at least some losses can be recovered.

As for those pirates who defected, Moria blacklisted them, issued bounty missions, and sent personnel to hunt them down.

In short, Moria established a lot of rules. After Iron Blood killed several defecting pirate groups, there were many fewer defections, and this mission system began to get on the right track.

As for the civilians and businessmen, they didn't have much reaction to Moria's charges. Instead, they thought it was normal.After all, as long as you pay the management fee, you can be protected from pirates in the Magic Triangle. Once you are attacked by pirates, you can immediately ask Moria's men for help.

This is equivalent to paying a protection fee, which can truly protect your own safety.Moreover, many people think that Moria's charges are very cheap, too cheap.

If you hire someone to protect you, you will need at least 10,000 Baileys. This is still the lowest level. Sometimes even if you have money, you may not be able to hire a strong person.

Now, with the protection provided by forces at the level of the Shichibukai, everyone is naturally happy to charge such a low fee.

In short, in One Piece, Moria's operation charges high fees to pirates, but protects civilians, making people look down on Moria even more. They feel that this is more solid, and Moria is completely reduced to A lackey of the world government.

On the contrary, among the common people, Moria's prestige has become even higher.

Of course, in addition to this, there is a common understanding among the outside world, that is, Moria is too greedy for money.
