Chapter 18 Luffy’s Shadow
At the same time, the dance hall of the mansion where Shichibukai Moriah is located.
This huge circular dance hall gathered a large number of zombies. Absalom, Hogback, and Perona were also summoned here. Luffy, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, was tightly bound by a ball of spider silk. Locked in an iron cage and wearing a set of dazzling armor.
In the belly of the ragdoll zombie Kumasi, the Nami trio were hidden inside by some strange combination of circumstances and were brought here. Although the bear zombie named Kumasi has repeatedly wanted to report the fact that the pirate is inside his body, Perona, as the owner, is very strict and resolutely prohibits Kumasi, who exists as a rag doll, from making any sound. As a result, the three of them were not discovered until they entered the atrium ballroom, and were even brought to the ultimate boss, Moria. Now, the three of them were secretly observing the situation outside.
"You are all here, hehehehe, let me be the king of thieves."
Moria, who has a round figure and is much taller than a normal person, said to the three weirdos.
"It will be soon." Facing the master who is the King's Shichibukai, the three of them replied respectfully at the same time, which shows that this formatted dialogue has been carried out many times.
Moria's body shape is very distinctive. Although he is round and fat, he is nearly seven meters tall. He has a garlic clove-like hairstyle on his head, two protruding horns on both sides of his forehead, and his ears and teeth are like bats. Sharp and strange looking like a demon. There are cross stitch marks in the center of the forehead and on the neck, and his personal clothing also tends to be a gothic bat suit. Walking on the street will definitely stop children from crying at night.
The three monsters also have their own characteristics. Absalom, the leader of the general zombies, has long blond wavy hair and a white hat that looks like a lantern. He is extremely tall and has many zombie-like stitching marks, especially A leopard-like mouth is extremely prominent; Hogback is a fat middle-aged uncle with small round eyes, sharp teeth and a hook-shaped nose, making him look like a villain accomplice; Perona It is a young and beautiful girl wearing a cross crown, a pink coat and black striped tights. She has long flowing pink hair and is holding a pink parasol. She exudes a youthful and girlish atmosphere. Absalom of the three weirdos often peeked at her sideways.
"Hey, who do you think the Pirate King is? The one who wants to become the Pirate King is if I quickly let go of the rope and let my companions go, otherwise I won't be polite, you fat garlic."
Moria's statement that he wanted to become the Pirate King was immediately strongly opposed by Luffy, who was determined to become the Pirate King. Although he was trapped in an iron cage and tied tightly, Luffy, who was not weak at all, still loudly refuted Moriah's remarks and gave him the nickname "Fat Garlic".
"What a menacing man. Is this the legendary pirate Straw Hat Luffy?"
Hogback, whose body proportions were so fat that his body was somewhat unbalanced, looked at Luffy and commented, as if he were looking at a pig waiting to be slaughtered.
"This is what the pirates who once challenged the world government look like. They are not as vicious as the legends say."
Perona, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old at most, didn't think there was anything scary about Luffy. Instead, he looked more like an ordinary boy next door. It was hard to imagine that this boy had ever challenged the World Government head-on.
"Why is he wearing the armor of a general zombie?" Absalom was very puzzled. Although this armor was very powerful, it had no momentum at all when it was worn on Luffy.
"What, you don't understand either? This is a man's romance, Beast Man."
Hearing that his romance was not understood, Luffy loudly explained to Abusa what a man's romance was, without any awareness that a prisoner should have.
"You're already a prisoner, and you're so romantic, huh," Abusa, who had been disgraced, retorted angrily, and their understanding of aesthetics collided.
"Monkey D. Luffy, I have captured three of your members so far, and one of them is a blond man who is not in the reward order. And what about the trio? Why haven't they been transported yet?"
Moriah, who was fat, might have been tired from standing, so he squatted directly on the ground, holding a stack of wanted posters in his hand, comparing the two people he captured before with Luffy tied in front of him and asked the subordinates next to him.
"I gave that trio to the Liski brothers." Hearing the owner ask about the almost useless trio, Hogbak, who was in charge of the matter, explained to the owner Moria, and at the same time Look at Perona next to her.
"It was not delivered to Kumasi. Did something happen during the transportation?" Seeing that the matter was thrown to her side again, Perona quickly shirks her responsibility and claims that she did not receive the three pirates.
Originally, she was going to use these three most useless guys to make new rag dolls, but it was only because the gangster Abusa fell in love with the female pirate known as the Little Thief Cat that things changed. Now the three of them are... No one knows where to hide.
Seeing several leaders arguing about the three pirates hidden in its body, Kumasi leaned over nervously and once again mustered up the courage to report that the trio was hiding in its belly.
"That, Lady Perona"
"I've told you so many times, don't talk. Do you have to sew your mouth shut?" The poor bear zombie had just opened his mouth when Perona viciously interrupted what he wanted to say next.
"You are so mean to Kumasi. It's so pitiful and so unpleasant." Absalom, who is also a male, looked at Kumasi sympathetically. Although he is the captain, his treatment is not as good as that of his subordinates. A little guy.
"If the trio you are talking about is three people including my bride, they made a big fuss in your yard. Hogbak, don't you say, Hey, Hogbak, are you a bastard? I had already said hello to you before you attacked my bride, and I took a fancy to that little thief cat Nami first."
Absa, who was naturally lustful, fantasized about Hogubak taking the lead and became more and more annoyed. He turned around and asked Hogubak, "I fell in love with that woman first. I have already decided to marry her as my bride."
"No one will marry you, lecherous Salom." Hindley, the maid who has been following Hogbark, said darkly and sarcastically, expressing her disgust for Absalom without reservation, all because of this lustful man. I wanted to spy on her taking a shower.
"Hindery, don't make things more complicated. Don't worry about Absalom." The host Hogbark on the side was afraid that Hindley would offend Absalom, so he hurriedly stopped her.
"No one will marry you." The maid Hindley said to Hogbak again in the same gloomy voice, and she did not shy away from degrading Hogbak as the master.
"Ah, I got hit by a stray bullet." Hogbak shouted exaggeratedly, hoping to gain Hindley's sympathy.
"I don't care what you say, that woman must be my bride anyway." Absalom, who was offended by Hindley's sarcasm, insisted. He had already sent wedding invitations to all his subordinates, and there was already a problem with the handover of the bride. It affected his marriage plans.
"No one will marry you." The maid Hindley used a decisive tone for the second time to undermine Absalom's self-confidence.
"Hindley, why are you standing in front of me? Don't block me. Didn't I tell you not to interfere with Absalom's affairs?" Seeing that the matter was tending to escalate, Hogback tried to persuade him again and again. With his superb medical skills, he is no match for Abusa's beastly man. If Abusa vents his anger on Hindley, he will not be able to stop her.
"No one will marry you, absolutely." Hindley pointed the gun at Hogback Back again.
"Oh my God, there is such a thing in the world. The same stray bullet hit him twice, and the word "absolute" was added."
"You all should stop arguing. Listen to me. If you want to catch those three people, you can catch them later. They are of no use anyway. You can just decide what to do with them."
As the master, Moria couldn't stand it any longer. He stopped his subordinates from having a meaningless quarrel. After all, they were not brought here just for such a trivial matter today.
"I have called you here today to witness the birth of the strongest zombie. I have decided to activate special zombie No. 900."
"Isn't that number 900?"
Moria's decision was quite beyond the expectations of the three subordinates. Zombie No. 900 has been in the freezer for many years. The owner Moria has never been satisfied with the shadows he obtained, so he has no intention of starting it. Unexpectedly, I'm going to wake it up today
"Oh no!" An unexpected situation occurred. The little zombie responsible for guarding Luffy was knocked away. The sudden situation attracted everyone's attention.
"Master, it's not good, the prisoner bit through the cage and escaped." The little zombie who was knocked away hurriedly reported the situation to Moria, the owner.
"Bite the cage." Everyone looked at the iron cage and saw that several of the iron bars on the cage had been bitten off. As a prisoner, Luffy was escaping out with his body arched like an earthworm.
"let me."
The youthful Perona stopped Absalom from taking action, activated her ability, and used the Negative Ghost three-hit combo. All three ghosts hit Luffy who was crawling and running away. Extremely negative emotions instantly fell on Luffy. Without any resistance, he was recaptured by the little zombies.
"Oh my god it's horrible"
Seeing that the man who just kept clamoring to become the Pirate King suddenly wanted to become a seaweed, Abusa almost felt the same way, and his thoughts of opposing Perona disappeared instantly.
"Okay, now let's start the ceremony and turn on the lights."
Under Moglia's order, all the extra lights in the ballroom were turned off, and a special bright searchlight was turned on, emitting a bright cylindrical light. Luffy was stripped of his armor and stood upright in front of the strong light. Under the strong light, Luffy's shadow was clearly projected on the ground. Moria activated the Shadow Fruit's ability to control shadows, stretched out his hand to lift Luffy's shadow from the ground, picked up the scissors that he used as a sidearm, and made a sharp cut at the connection between the shadow and the body. Luffy, who lost his shadow, instantly lost consciousness and passed out. However, the reduced shadow was still struggling and was held by Moriah.
Everything that happened was reflected in the eyes of Nami and the three people hiding in Kumasi's body, and huge fear also fell on them at the same time.
"In this way, the strongest zombie will be born, hehehehe."
After obtaining Luffy's shadow, Moria felt proud.
The combat power of the 300 million bounty has been obtained. Moria, who imagined that he could get a more powerful shadow from this, laughed, as if a more powerful zombie army had been born in front of his eyes.
"The pace of world conquest finally begins again."
Holding Luffy's shadow in his hands made Moriah's self-confidence continue to expand, as if his great journey to conquer the new world and become the Pirate King had begun.
At the same time, the group of four people located between the vestibule and the atrium and Franky decided to return to the Thousand Sunny to wake up the three combat forces who were thrown back on the ship, and then renegotiated the battle plan to retrieve the shadow, while Brooke and the four Temporarily separate and continue to look for his shadow.
