The Horrible Barque, the Castle at the Center—

"You bastard who has no respect for women, wake up as soon as possible!!!"

Bang! boom!

With a loud bang, a big hole was suddenly blasted out on the wall of the eerie and terrifying castle.

Debris flew everywhere, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

A moment later, Sanji stood at the entrance of the castle and lit a cigarette. He looked at the figure who was kicked unconscious by him, and the anger on his face had not completely dissipated.

The figure had the size and appearance of a penguin, wearing a one-piece black mesh outfit and a purple scarf.

There is no doubt that this person is the last weirdo under Moriah, Dr. Hogbark.

By the way, this guy is Chopper's idol and has miraculously saved countless patients.

But in fact, this person only cares about money and not people. He was devastated after the death of his beloved Xin Duoli.

Later, in exchange for resurrecting Sindori, Hogback became Moria's subordinate, providing him with the necessary zombies and stitched corpses.

Of course, Sanji had no idea about these situations.

He just attacked Hogback directly after seeing the zombie Xindori.

The latter's strength, rounded off to zero, was decisively given away.

At this moment, less than ten minutes had passed since the four strongest fighters of the Straw Hat Pirates plus Brook boarded the ship.

But the three monsters under Moriah, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, have all been defeated.

Congratulations to Sanji for winning the MVP.

When Sanji left Hogback's room and was thinking about where to go to find Moria, a roar suddenly came from the other side of the castle:

"Straw Hat Boy!!! You are looking for death!!"

boom! ! !

A loud noise was heard, and it seemed that a battle had taken place.

The ceiling above Sanji's head suddenly cracked, and countless rocks poured down towards where Sanji was.

"Luffy actually found it first? It seems that even that guy Bai Ye sometimes loses to Luffy's luck."

Faced with this sudden situation, Sanji was not at all panicked, and was even in the mood to tease Bai Ye.

Bang! ! !

The rocks fell, raising thick smoke and dust, but Sanji had already disappeared.

-

"Well, this guy does look very... weird."

Looking at Moria who looked horrible on top of the castle, Bai Ye nodded slightly and said.

"Mr. Bai Ye, are you sure you don't want to help?"

At this moment, Lola's voice sounded behind Bai Ye.

Before this, after Lola's proposal failed, she wanted to explain Moriah's abilities to Luffy.

But after hiding in this shabby place for three years, the things they barely knew were not even as accurate as the information Luffy casually said.

Then, they said that they could give the shadows they had collected over the years to Luffy and the others, but were rejected by Luffy again.

[I can knock a guy like that away right now! ]

This is what Luffy told Lola.

But Lola soon learned about Luffy's previous actions from her subordinate who looked like a seriously injured old grandfather, and immediately came to the idea that "such a guy is definitely not reliable."

So when Lola saw that Bai Ye, who seemed more reliable, did not take action, she felt a little worried.

"He's a very tough opponent, and if he fails, there's a high chance he'll lose his shadow."

Laura said, choosing her words carefully.

"Don't worry, an opponent like this is not a problem for Luffy at all."

Bai Ye naturally understood the meaning of Lola's words, but he really didn't care.

What was Luffy's strength in the original work, and what is Luffy's strength now? You don't have to think about it to know what the result will be.

[Armament - Coverage]

[Rubber rubber——bazooka! ]

At this moment, Luffy stretched his arms back more than ten meters, and shot out like a cannonball, hitting Moria in front of Luffy hard.

The huge impact force even created a deep pit in Moria's fat belly, and layers of fat rippled like waves.

Faced with such an attack, Moria's eyes bulged out and his saliva splashed.

Bang! ! !

With a loud bang, Moria was once again knocked to the top of the castle by Luffy. The castle, which was eerie and terrifying before, has now become a little... sad.

There are pits everywhere, and it looks a bit shaky.

"As Bai Ye said, is this an opponent that can be defeated without even using Gear 2?"

Luffy stood up and muttered to himself, with a hint of boredom in his tone.

"Wow!"

Although Luffy's voice was very low, Moriah still heard it clearly and finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, he also remembered the previous conversation with the bear.

"The ability to fight against Aokiji for a short period of time... is it true?"

"He's clearly just a new kid who just went out to sea, how on earth can he possess such power?!"

Moria wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Luffy with eyes full of resentment and unwillingness:

"Do you think you can defeat me like this? Stop daydreaming!"

"Who do you think I am? Even Kaido couldn't kill me!"

"Just a little brat, come and see my full power!!!"

[Shadow Gathering Place!!!]

Along with Moria's unwilling roar, the entire island underwent tremendous changes.

Countless black shadows were either moving on the ground or passing through the sky, as if attracted by something, rushing into Moria's fang-like mouth.

"It can actually...eat so many shadows!"

Lola was also shocked when she saw this scene. They naturally knew about eating shadows, but they also knew that a body has its limits and it is impossible to absorb shadows indefinitely.

However, in just a short while, Moria might have absorbed nearly a thousand shadows.

This is the most terrifying thing.

Lola couldn't imagine how terrifying Moria was now.

"We've only fought two rounds, and you're already using your ultimate move?"

Bai Ye in front of Lola didn't care. The only thing that surprised him was the trick used by Moria.

Although Moriah did become a loser who only wanted to rely on external things after being defeated by Kaido, his development of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit was still quite good.

In addition to the simple explosive attack method of Shadow Gathering, Moria also has moves such as Shadow Mage, Shadow Warrior and even Shadow Revolution.

Logically speaking, Moria hasn't reached the point where he needs to go all out.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye subconsciously looked down at the feet of the two people.

Only then did I discover a detail that I had just overlooked.

Moriah’s shadow——disappeared.
