The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

"Did I faint? Who knocked me out?"

Perona suffered a mild concussion due to her head being hit by the wall, and her memory was a little fragmented. She stood up with difficulty, holding on to her broken arm. The wound on her forehead had not yet scabbed over, and blood dripped from the wound from time to time.

"The captain is in danger. How could I forget such an important thing?"

The girl regained her fragmented memories, remembering how she and Gekko Moriah entered the cemetery and how they resurrected the tomb owner. However, the resurrected female zombie committed the act of killing her master. The Terror Barque Pirates had never encountered such a horrifying thing. Was there something wrong with the captain's Shadow-Shadow Fruit, or was there something wrong with this cemetery? Now the surroundings fell into silence, and the girl was a little confused for a moment. She could only walk towards the scene of the incident, hoping that the female zombie had been killed by the captain.

"How did you sleep in my grave? Did you have a good dream?"

Perona widened her eyes in disbelief. The tomb owner gradually transformed from an adult woman to a young girl in front of her eyes. Her originally mature curves became even more graceful and agile. On the girl's dark blue face, her red eyes flashed with a mysterious light, like a burning flame, and her short black hair fluttered in the air as if dancing with the wind.

She felt the joy of being alive again, every cell in her body was full of vitality. Her existence was like a bright pearl in the darkness, an existence that no one present could ignore.

Character Notes: Shadow Queen - Jade, the user of the superhuman Shadow-Shadow Fruit

The winner sat on his black jade bed, moving his body left and right from time to time to adapt to his transformed body, while the loser, Moonlight Moria, lay on the ground, no longer breathing or having a heartbeat, with blood and internal organs flowing out of the wound in his abdomen.

Perona's heart was shrouded in fear and despair, her body trembled involuntarily, and tears poured out like a flood, sliding across the girl's delicate cheeks. Her lips trembled slightly, but she dared not make a sound. She could only pretend to be calm and come to her adoptive father. Looking at Moonlight Moria's unwilling eyes in death, the girl felt hopeless.

No one expected that a dignified Shichibukai would die on an unknown island in the West Sea. Perona did not choose to escape or resist. She just sat next to her loved ones with tears in her eyes, stretched out her trembling hands, and painfully helped her loved ones close their eyes. Perona never spoke during this process, nor did she question the other party why they wanted to kill Moria.

All pirates know that this day will come sooner or later. Death at the hands of more violent people is the fate of most pirates. However, Perona did not expect that this day would come so soon. She had to face death before she even reached adulthood.

"Are you two father and daughter? But judging from your physique and appearance, you are not related by blood. You are another orphan adopted by pirates."

The girl's voice came from the black jade bed again, but this time Perona did not look up at her. She stared at Moonlight Moria with sad eyes the whole time. It might be a blessing to die with her adoptive father.

"If someone likes to turn others into zombies, one day the consequences will come back to him."

After the girl finished speaking, she snapped her fingers in the air. After a crisp sound, a strange insect suddenly emerged from her strange shadow. This insect had no legs, only a tightly closed mouth, and it swam along the ground towards the man's body.

Perona watched this scene woodenly, but was unable to stop its movement. The insect seemed to have its own goal, and moved firmly towards the man's shadow. When it approached the man's shadow, its body gradually blended into it, becoming one with the dead man's shadow.

However, after just a few seconds, Gekko Moriah, who had been dead for a long time, suddenly began to move under the gaze of his own crew members. As the frequency of the movements became faster and faster, the Shichibukai suddenly opened his eyes, but this time his pupils had completely dilated and lost their luster.

After Moria's resurrection, his heartbeat and body temperature disappeared. He turned into a cold zombie. His body exuded a smell of decay, but an intense feeling of hunger spread in his heart like wildfire. A low roar came from his throat, which was a desire for food. His eyes were empty and crazy, as if he wanted to devour everything.

The man stood up and staggered, as if he would fall at any time, but he still walked forward stubbornly, looking for a target that could satisfy his hunger. Gekko Moriah was no longer the pirate he once was, but a zombie monster driven by hunger. He actually moved towards Perona. He had no interest in the girl's flesh and blood, he only wanted to eat her shadow.

"As expected, he will get sick after his first resurrection. Go and help him regain consciousness."

A faint smile appeared on Yu's face. She just clapped her hands lightly on the spot. In an instant, the entire main tomb chamber was covered by a group of shadows. These shadows gradually gathered and condensed into figures, and finally presented a group of stealth ninjas dressed in the same costumes. Their appearance seemed like a feast of copies, and every detail was exactly the same.

Hundreds of ninjas created from black shadows attacked the zombie Moriah at the same time. Most of them fought with bare hands, some threw darts, and some picked up samurai swords. In short, under the memory recovery technique of the Ghost Ninja Group, the remaining sanity in Moriah's mind finally began to recover, and he gradually overcame the Shadow Eater's instinct to eat shadows.

The first thing he did was to kneel down in front of his master and say, "Lady Shadow Queen, welcome back."

All these changes happened so quickly that Perona was stunned. Her mind was very confused and she didn't understand who the Shadow Queen the captain was talking about. She had never even heard of her.

However, judging from the abilities displayed, this resurrected tomb owner seemed to have displayed abilities related to the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, completely crushing Gekko Moriah in terms of practicality and operability.

"Perona, I am your captain. I am alive. Don't just stand there in a daze. Come and meet our Lady Shadow Queen."

Although the captain's tone was very cold, the unquestionable order made Perona's body move subconsciously. Afterwards, she knelt together with her boss, portraying herself as a well-behaved and sensible person.

However, Perona kept her attention on the captain who had turned into a zombie. Seeing him show concern or guilt to her from time to time, she knew that the person in front of her was not a fake shadow monster.

Using shadows to resurrect zombies and allow them to retain their memories before death is definitely something that Gekko Moriah cannot do. Does the superhuman Shadow-Shadow Fruit have such powerful development potential?
