Chapter 91 Rhodes and the Queen's Bounty, the Unruly Gecko Moria
To be honest, with a bounty of 500 million Berries, this kid's strength is a bit lacking; his current strength is only at the Supernova level.
With their bizarre magic, they should be able to easily defeat those supernovas, but their overall raw strength is still somewhat lacking.
At most, he's worth around 300 million Berries. Among the Flying Six, Rhodes's strength is only slightly stronger than Page One's, and Rumble's should be about the same. However, with his strange fel magic, he should still be able to defeat the siblings.
The main reason the Navy was able to offer such an astronomical bounty of 500 million Berries was Rhodes' performance in the Marineford War. He used his curse ability to teach Blackbeard a lesson, torturing him to the point of near ecstasy.
He also cursed the three admirals of the Navy. The three admirals should have felt the terror of fel magic, otherwise the Navy would not have given him a bounty of 5 million Berries, after all, this is Rhodes' first bounty.
However, his most important achievement was that he controlled Whitebeard, though others didn't know the specifics.
Kaido knew the specifics; the reason this kid could control Whitebeard was inseparable from the woman in front of him.
Comparatively speaking, Sylvanas's bounty of 1.5 million is indeed a bit low and seriously inconsistent with her strength. Putting aside her other abilities, this woman's archery sniping skills are top-notch.
Kaido estimates that Sylvanas's bounty should be at least two billion Berries.
Why? Because Kaido could clearly sense that this woman possessed a power that even terrified him.
It was pure death power. Even with his own evil energy to defend against the necromancy arrows fired by this woman, he couldn't completely shield himself from the damage. As for Armament Haki, it was utterly ineffective against this kind of magical attack.
Moreover, in the past few days, this woman has awakened Conqueror's Haki and is also learning Observation Haki and Armament Haki. As long as she successfully masters all three types of Haki...
With the added freezing power of the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit), this woman's strength will increase even further.
Kaido is confident he can defeat his opponent in close combat, but if they are kept at a distance, the woman's eerie necromancy arrow attacks will still give him a headache.
Armament Haki can't defend against this kind of attack, just like this kid's evil magic, which Armament Haki can't defend against.
It seems I should also get a set of magical armor from another world, focusing on magical defense, since my physical defense is already maxed out.
"This bounty is pretty good. Looks like I'm a great pirate now," Rod said.
"Your strength is at most a little over 300 million, but you're right, on this sea, you're already considered a great pirate." Kaido took off the sake bottle from his waist and took a big gulp.
After Rhodes' bounty was revealed, Quinn and Jhin suggested to him that Rhodes be directly included in the Flying Six.
However, Kaido rejected this decision, arguing that Rod has now taken control of Whitebeard, making him arguably the strongest fighter in the Beasts Pirates besides himself.
Having the same Devil Fruit ability as himself, his future prospects are limitless. In addition, he is his son-in-law, so Kaido has other plans for Rod.
"By the way, kid, would you like to be the vice-captain of our Beasts Pirates?" Kaido asked.
The position of one of the Flying Six will not be given to him, but the position of vice-captain can be given to him. Your combat strength is enough to be promoted to vice-captain. Of course, this refers to the white beard in his hand.
"Forget it! I'm not interested in this position. I'll just stay as your son-in-law. The Beasts Pirates will always be yours," Rhodes said.
Father-in-law! I haven't even set my sights on your little Beasts Pirates yet, and you're already ruling them. Now work for me!
After this humiliation of Kil'jaeden, Sargeras should finally be able to face his own limitations, and then he can use the Marvel universe as leverage.
"Alright! Our strong performance in the Marineford War has even increased my bounty. My current bounty is 4.8 billion," Kaido said.
This time, the strength of his Beasts Pirates has increased significantly, and the Navy has naturally taken notice of him, which has also led to an increase in his bounty as the Grand Governor.
He'll then be able to break the 5 billion bounty and catch up with those two guys.
"Then congratulations, father-in-law. By the way, what's the current situation with Gecko Moria?" Rhodes asked.
Ever since Gecko Moria was captured by Kaido, he was immediately thrown into the dungeon.
These past few days, Rhodes has been focused on training his endurance and the three types of Haki with the Queen and Yamato, and hasn't gone to see him.
"Hmph! Still so stubborn. The people in the dungeon reported to me that this guy is causing trouble every day," Kaido said.
During this time, Gecko Moria has been imprisoned in the dungeon of Wano Country, but the fat guy is still very stubborn and refuses to cooperate.
"Let's go! We have some time today, let's go meet Moonlight Moria," Rhodes said, standing up.
"Alright, do you want me to come with you? I'm worried you can't control him," Kaido said.
"No, no, no. Father-in-law, if you're tired, go have a drink or go to sleep. I'll take care of this guy," Rod said.
"Hmm! I just had a fight with Whitebeard, now I'm going back to get some sleep." After saying that, Kaido transformed into a blue dragon and flew away from the place where Rhodes and the others lived.
"Let's go, Your Majesty, and see if we can successfully subdue Moonlight Moria," Rhodes said, looking at Sylvanas.
Sylvanas has already eaten the Revive-Revive Fruit, so she can no longer eat the Shadow-Shadow Fruit.
The best solution would be to subdue Gecko Moria, but if he refuses to surrender even at the cost of his life, then we'll have to resort to other methods.
"Let's go then, let's go meet this Moonlight Moria," Sylvanas said, standing up.
Moonlight Moria's ability to create zombies is extremely important to himself and to the Forsaken.
Sylvanas planned to have Moonlight Moria create the zombies, and then she would try to infuse them with the power of death.
See if you can create self-aware undead to increase the number of Forsaken. Now that she has consumed the Fruit of the Underworld, Sylvanas's necromantic power is even stronger.
Combined with this power to mass-produce zombies, it should be possible to create perfect Forsaken.
Soon, Rhodes, Sylvanas, and Yamato arrived at the Beast Pirates' prison, the Prisoner Quarry, where enough ore was being mined to build the Dark Portal.
The head of this large prison was Quinn, one of the Three Calamities, and it was usually guarded by several of his subordinates.
Rhodes, Yamato, and Sylvanas were immediately given a warm welcome by Babanuki, the custodian of the mining site.
"Princess Yamato, Lord Rhodes, Lady Sylvanas, welcome to the detention center," Babanuki said, accompanied by several other deputy wardens.
Babanuki is extremely tall, comparable to Kaido and Jack in stature. He ate an artificial Devil Fruit, and his chest is shaped like an elephant.
In addition, there are artificial Devil Fruit users: Scorpion, Hippo, and Monkey, as well as three vice wardens.
After consuming fel energy, the members of the Beasts Pirates also developed demonic characteristics.
For example, the elephant on the warden's chest is now in the shape of a green demon elephant.
"Take us to see Moria, and that's all you need to do. Go about your business!" Rhodes said.
"It's Lord Rhodes, please follow me."
Soon, Rhodes and the others were taken to a special prison, where Gecko Moria was bound by seastone chains and tied up in a cell.
"Damn bastard Kaido, let me out if you dare! I'll kill you! If that clown hadn't ambushed me, how could you have captured me?" Gecko Moria cursed.
The prison cell door opened, and Rhodes and his two companions walked in.
"You three bastards, call Kaido of the Beasts to come see me!" Moria roared.
"Alright, Moria, we're here to talk to you. There's something for you; this lady beside me wants to take you on as her subordinate," Rhodes said, gesturing to Sylvanas beside him.
"Ha! Who do you think you are, uh-huh!" Moria hadn't even finished speaking when Rhodes punched her in the stomach.
"I'll teach you a lesson first," Rhodes said.
That punch he just delivered was a dragon claw attack, imbued with Armament Haki; it wasn't easy to take.
"Cough cough! You wretched brat, let me go if you dare, or I'll beat you to a pulp." Gecko Moria said angrily to Rhodes.
"Alright! I'll get straight to the point. I need your ability to create zombies to serve me."
If you are willing to submit voluntarily, we will not control you; if you are not willing...
"I'm sure you've already seen what happened to Whitebeard. We'll kill you and turn you into one of those undead creatures, forcing you to obey us," Sylvanas said.
Upon hearing this, Moonlight Moria's expression changed drastically. To be killed and then controlled by the enemy was a very shameful thing.
Fine, I'll just pretend to agree for now. As soon as I'm free, I'll find a way to escape.
"Hehe, I agree to serve you," Moonlight Moria said.
Rhodes and Sylvanas exchanged a glance; this fat guy was definitely up to no good!
With such an obvious intention to escape, who are you trying to fool?
"Forget it, I think we should use fel energy to turn it into a demon, or transform it into a death knight, and then put it in a slave contract!" Rhodes said.
"Can your soul power withstand it?" Sylvanas asked.
