Basha, as a Water Devil who can even control seawater, is simply the bane of Devil Fruit Users.
Even Yonko of the same level, or even slightly stronger than her, if they are Devil Fruit Users and fight her,
They would all have to be extremely cautious in battle due to her water-controlling ability, and they would definitely make more mistakes than Basha.
"You hateful villain, aww!" Seeing this, Perona mustered her courage and directly bit Basha's tentacle.
At the same time, this move was truly effective.
"Ah ah ah..." Basha cried out in pain and immediately retracted her tentacle. There was nothing she could do, as her tentacles were very soft and directly connected to her nerves, so being bitten like that truly hurt.
Perona quickly floated gently to the ground using her Hollow-Hollow Fruit.
"Mini Ghost Bombs." Much smaller than the previous Negatives Ghosts, like little balls, ghosts suddenly appeared in large numbers next to Perona. They immediately rushed over, and upon reaching Basha, instantly detonated. Basha was instantly engulfed in the flames and smoke of the explosion.
"Hmph, this is the price for bullying Moria-sama," Perona said with a touch of tsundere pride. She had no idea that her and Basha's strength difference meant that such a small move was completely useless against Basha.
She had been a good yet mischievous shut-in for too long here.
"Oh, really?" Before the smoke completely dispersed, Basha's teasing and slightly annoyed laughter quickly came from within.
Then, after the smoke cleared, Basha was indeed unharmed, though her face was filled with an angry smile as she stared fixedly at Perona.
"You, you, you... how are you fine?"
"Why am I fine? Let this big hammer tell you," Basha said with a look as if she wanted to devour someone.
Then she immediately created a super solid large hammer out of water. On the gigantic water hammerhead, the number "20 tons" was clearly written.
"2... 2... 22... 20 tons! My goodness, are you trying to kill me?!" Seeing this big hammer, especially the words on it, Perona was almost scared out of her wits. Especially that hammerhead—would she be smashed into a meat paste with one swing?
"Correct answer! How dare you bite me? Die!" Basha showed a malicious smile and then immediately swung the hammer down.
The hammerhead immediately smashed towards Perona.
"Ah ah ah ah!" Seeing this, Perona was so scared that smoke was almost coming out of her orifices. Her eyes rolled back, and she was almost spitting saliva.
It wasn't until the water hammer directly hit her, specifically the sharp spike at the top of the princess crown she was wearing, that the originally solid giant water hammer was actually punctured.
Perona was drenched in seawater. At this point, she not only fainted from fright but also got completely soaked.
"Thud." Perona fainted directly to the ground.
At the same time, the other three captains were also quickly subdued by Basha.
Meanwhile, Azure Phoenix accidentally found the zombified Ryuma Shimotsuki, easily defeated him, and rescued Brook's shadow.
After finally being freed, Ryuma Shimotsuki thanked Azure Phoenix and asked if he was from Wano Country. Azure Phoenix, having already received orders and instructions from Luna, acted very well, without a single flaw. At least, Ryuma Shimotsuki, who was about to truly die, was very satisfied. He then left his black blade Shusui for Azure Phoenix, and finally, he died—this Dragon-Slaying Samurai from hundreds of years ago in the One Piece World.
Azure Phoenix fell silent, looking at the corpse on the ground. He picked up the black blade Shusui, then bowed deeply and said,
"I'm sorry, I deceived you. However, I will give this sword to your descendants as compensation, because although I am not a samurai but an assassin, I am also a swordsman."
Soon, Moria's group was completely wiped out. All the living people were released, and they quickly left, including those who had regained their shadows.
After thanking Core Wolf and the other three, they immediately left.
As for how to leave, the ship problem? Haha, since Moria treated them like that, letting them cut down some trees here to build a ship isn't too much, right? After all, such a gloomy forest is better off gone.
However, two people did not leave: one was Brook, and the other was Lola, the rebellious daughter of the Big Mom Pirates.
Brook, of course, was left behind by Azure Phoenix due to Luna's instructions. As for Lola, she was now considered Moria's person; even though her shadow was stolen, she was indeed working for Moria.
"How do we wake them up?" Azure Phoenix asked, looking at Moria and the three captains who were still unconscious, somewhat at a loss, because he had never had to wake anyone up. Not even young Plum Blossom Thirteen; he never had to do that because Plum Blossom Thirteen was very self-disciplined and would stand ready at the training ground early without him calling, never having the habit of sleeping in, even when he said she could sleep a little longer.
Haha, I've strayed too far.
"It's simple," Basha said indifferently, sliding out. "Let me splash them with water again."
"Oh no, those three are Devil Fruit Users; splashing water won't work. I think it would be better to make some kind of huge noise," Core Wolf immediately interjected, stopping her.
"Loud noise? Hulk knows a place with a giant bell. How about we move it over and try ringing it?" Hulk immediately stepped forward and suggested.
"A bell? That's a good idea. Then go get it," Azure Phoenix immediately said, also receiving the agreement of the other two.
Hulk was very happy to receive the order, so he immediately went out. After a while, he indeed carried in a very ancient-looking bronze bell.
There was also a giant mallet, but the three, along with Brook and Lola, all twitched their mouths when they saw the mallet.
Because this was not a proper mallet for ringing a bell; it was clearly a large tree branch.
Hulk grinned at them, then immediately picked up the large wooden stick and heavily struck the bell.
"Dong!!!!..."
"Ah ah ah ah ah...!"
As the massive bell rang out, Moria and the four of them were immediately startled awake, letting out heart-wrenching, desperate screams, as if surrounded by a horde of ghosts.
"Hmm, it's you guys."
"You're going too far! Who wakes people up like this?"
"Ah ah ah, my eardrums are going to burst!"
"You're going too far!"
Moria was furious when he saw it was them. The other three also complained wildly.
