One Piece: The Living Devil Chapter 123: She Was Abandoned

After chatting briefly with Gion, Rosse led her toward the basent.

Every once in a while, Gion would contact Zannie.

This ti, aside from the annual report, Rosse also heard an interesting piece of news.

On the 100th day after Vegapunk's death, all the kings of the allied nations received a call from a Den Den Mushi.

The call was a pre-recorded ssage prepared by Vegapunk, which detailed a complete catalog list of all his technological achievents.

Vegapunk admitted that these achievents were all hidden in the Elbaph in the New World.

This ssage, aside from making the World Governnt hate the Elbaph even more, didn't cause any uproar.

After all, even if the allied nations wanted to contact the Elbaph, there were no channels to do so.

Letting them directly reach the Elbaph was even less realistic. Located deep within the New World, reaching that place was exceptionally difficult.

Moreover, they didn't have an eternal pose to the Elbaph, so there was no way to search for Vegapunk's technology.

Rosse, however, realized that this was Vegapunk's last resort.

After all, ti was far too short. Vegapunk didn't have ti to prepare thoroughly, and being able to get the ssage out to the allied nations was already his limit.

But with the strength of these allied nations, most likely they wouldn't reach the Elbaph or get Vegapunk's technology.

However, Rosse felt that, based on Dragon's strength and style, he would probably go to the Elbaph.

He wasn't too interested in the technology Vegapunk left behind. After all, Vegapunk's corpse was in his hands, and it had already been stored in the best way possible to ensure that the brain wouldn't have any problems.

Once Sora fully understood this world and developed a worldview aligned with his stance, he could let Sora take part in extracting the information.

Otherwise, Rosse really feared that absorbing Vegapunk's knowledge might create a new hidden threat for himself, that would be a loss outweighing the gain.

Creak!

The basent door was opened by Gion, who stepped in first with her long, straight legs into this dark place.

With a snap of her fingers, a blood-red fla ignited at her fingertips. The fla wasn't intense, but it seed to be imbued with so kind of magic, forcibly illuminating the entire basent.

Inside the basent, the air was stagnant, filled with the sll of decay and dampness, nauseating to the senses. In the cramped space, the low ceiling felt like it could collapse at any mont. The corners were piled with broken old junk, and cobwebs trembled faintly in the firelight.

In the center, a large iron cage stood out conspicuously.

Inside the cage, Moa was curled up.

Her golden curly hair was ssy, strands stuck to her tired face. Her figure was curvaceous, but her clothes were full of dust and wrinkles. The once-beautiful face was now filled with exhaustion and despair.

The sudden flash of firelight made Moa's lifeless eyes twitch slightly.

She struggled to lift her head, looking toward the light source.

There stood two tall figures, one was the woman who dragged her into the basent, and the other she hadn't seen before. But with that perfect face, noble aura, and attire, he looked exactly like the type she hated most.

'Heh, fell into the hands of the kind of noble I hate the most?'

"Bunyan Moa, that's your na, right?", Rosse glanced at Moa's information and directly said her full na.

[Bunyan Moa]

[Overall Rating: D ]

'So young yet with a D strength, and she hasn't even taken a fruit. Pretty decent.'

"Why do you know my surna?", Moa's voice was pleasant to the ear, with a bit of a mature-woman tone.

But perhaps due to her poor condition, it carried a trace of hoarseness. Yet this hoarseness didn't diminish her charm. On the contrary, it was like a veil over her voice, stirring the imagination even more.

"He is Saint Jaygarcia Rosse. You can call him Your Highness, or Saint Rosse," Gion crossed her arms and smoothly introduced Rosse.

She had heard this kind of introduction many tis. Eventually, she just beca Rosse's spokesperson.

"Your Highness? Saint? Tch… damn nobles, damn Celestial Dragons!", Moa kept cursing, her gaze toward Rosse full of hatred.

"As expected of a commander of the Freedom Fighters. Look at that ideological awareness, really sothing," Rosse chuckled, not minding Moa's curses at all.

Originally, he was just approaching this for fun, but hearing Moa's stubborn tone actually sparked a bit of interest.

His recent prey had been too easy, just in ti for a tougher dish to try sothing new.

Thinking this, Rosse gave Gion a look.

eting Rosse's gaze, Gion rolled her eyes impatiently.

Making her cooperate again, she just wanted to quietly watch as an observer.

"Saint Rosse, should I take care of her?", Gion's tone was icy, as if she could kill Moa at any mont.

"Just kill already," Moa bit her red lips, her eyes filled with resolve.

But deep down inside, she still clung to a sliver of hope.

'Dragon will definitely co to save ,' She still firmly believed that even now.

"How about using her as bait for Dragon? I hear she really likes Dragon, and many in the Freedom Fighters like her too," Rosse smiled, walking to the edge of the cage and carefully examining the imprisoned Moa.

"Don't dream. Dragon won't co to save . You're delusional," For a mont, Moa truly panicked.

At that mont, she was afraid that Dragon wouldn't co to save her… and also afraid that Dragon would co.

The complex emotions stirred in her heart, making her unable to stay calm anymore.

"Saint Rosse, your idea might be in vain. She's been captured for almost 20 days, and Dragon hasn't shown any reaction," Gion said flatly.

"Maybe he just hasn't found the escort ship of the World Governnt yet," Rosse countered.

'Yes, that must be it. Dragon hasn't found the escort ship yet, which is why he hasn't co to the rescue,' Moa comforted herself inwardly.

"With a Vivre Card, how could he not find her location?", Gion sneered.

'Vivre Card…', Moa suddenly rembered the Vivre Card that could track her location, and her eyes dimd.

"Maybe Dragon doesn't have her Vivre Card?", Rosse asked uncertainly.

'Impossible!'

She had personally handed her own Vivre Card to Dragon.

Moa's eyes grew even dimr.

"Or maybe it's because the escort ship had to pass through the Calm Belt, and Dragon doesn't have the capability to rescue her?", Rosse proposed another hypothesis.

'Even more impossible than the last!', Before Gion could reply, Moa had already refuted it in her heart.

She had personally seen Dragon lead them through the Calm Belt, how could he not have that ability?

"According to our intel, Dragon does indeed have the power to cross the Calm Belt. And with the escort ship's limited protection, Dragon should have no trouble rescuing soone," Gion glanced at the caged, inexplicably gloomy Moa and gave a final conclusion, "So, she was probably abandoned by the Freedom Fighters. Dragon never planned to rescue her."
