One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 144 You are too weak
"Let me do it!"

Looking at the zombies that were surrounding them, Gray did not retreat behind the crowd as he did before. Instead, he took a step forward and protected everyone behind him, his face full of excitement.

"Hades's debut isn't over yet!"

A blue light appeared on Gray's chest, followed by a layer of close-fitting armor attached to his body.

[Hades] The armor is re-equipped!
boom! !

Gray swung his fist suddenly, and his flawed posture made the oncoming zombie's eyes flash with a hint of mockery, and he was just about to start talking some trash.

The next moment, the terrifying force directly hit the zombie.

Bang! !

Under the huge impact, the zombie flew out like a cannonball, penetrated the castle wall and disappeared into the woods in the distance.

"Control your strength, do you want to tear down the entire castle, Gray?"

When Nia saw Gray's actions, she couldn't help but give him a hint.

They are still inside the castle. If they allow Gray to attack so recklessly, they will probably be buried by the collapsed castle before all the enemies are eliminated.

"I don't know what kind of force is enough."

Gray turned his head and looked at Nia with innocent eyes.

He is just a scientist and has no idea about fighting.

Nowadays, strength is all dependent on technology, and we have no idea how much strength is appropriate.

All he knew how to do was punch.

Nia looked at Gray with a frown on her face.

This guy is a complete half-baked person!
I was really worried that when I was fighting with him, I would be suddenly beaten by him.

"But maybe I can try another way of fighting."

Shocked by the power of Gray's previous attack, the surrounding zombies did not rush to attack. They just looked at each other, hoping that someone would be the first to take the lead and rush forward.

Gray was also happy about this. After hearing Nia's request, Gray thought for a while, opened his mouth suddenly, and then suddenly turned around and swallowed himself in an extremely terrifying way.

"Eat yourself!!"

Nia looked at the scene in shock.

Now he really looks like an evil scientist.

"Tuntun Factory!"

Gray's entire body disappeared, leaving only a mouth.

The next moment, his mouth suddenly opened wide, and a mechanical giant made entirely of steel appeared in front of everyone.

The mechanical giant is nearly 8 meters tall, much taller than the big bear. Its entire body is made up of bright silver and orange. Gray's shadow can be vaguely seen from the lines of its head. In addition, there is a dark blue halo on the robot's chest, which is exactly the same as the one on Gray's original body.

"robot!!"

Nia looked at the mechanical giant that suddenly appeared in front of her in shock.

"It's awesome."

Robin commented calmly.

The big bear remained silent and just followed Rhodes quietly.

"Did you just transform yourself into a robot, or do you drive the robot yourself?"

Rod looked at the robot.

Although mechas are a man's romance, Rhodes is not very interested in it when he thinks that the robot in front of him may be modified by Gray.

Unless he builds a mecha that he can drive!

"What? Your reaction is so dull!!"

Gray's disappointed voice came from the robot.

If Pekin and Shakey were here, they would definitely not react like this.

The same goes for Bepo. If he saw himself in this state, he would probably jump up in excitement.

This robot was transformed by him.

By loading a variety of weapons and armor onto his body, Gray is able to transform into this giant robot.

Compared to the previous form, the robot has stronger firepower, and unlike the bare-handed punching combat that Gray cannot accurately control, he has complete parameters for the robot's various weapons and can accurately control the power of each blow.

"Leave this to me!"

Although he did not get the feedback he imagined, Gray still controlled the robot's hands to stretch out, and several gun muzzles emerged from his palms, shooting at the surrounding zombies.

"You guys can play as you please."

Rhodes glanced at Gray's robot. With the strength of just a few of them, there was no need to worry even if all the zombies on the island rushed out.

Compared to Gray's condition and these zombies, Rhodes was more concerned about Moria.

After such a big commotion on the island, Moria, who had been a homebody for more than ten years, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"I'm going to talk to the owner here."

bang——

With a kick, a hole was left on the wall. Rhodes approached the opponent in a straight line according to the direction of the breath he sensed.

"found it!"

Rhodes broke through the wall again, waved his hand, swept away the dust in front of his eyes, and then looked at the onion lying not far away.

"You are really leisurely, Moonlight Moriah!"

"Hehehe~~Did you come here specially to see me, little ghost?"

Moriah glanced at Rhodes, who was still lying there without moving. "Of course, as a newcomer who just joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea, I just came to chat with an old senior."

Rhodes looked at Moria in front of him.

The other person is very tall.

Although he was still lying there, Rhode could see that the other party was probably much taller than Big Bear.

However, perhaps because he had been staying in the Devil's Triangle for a long time, Moria did not have the slightest aura of a pirate. Instead, his belly was bulging, making him look like a fat otaku.

"There's nothing good to talk about between us."

Moriah tilted his head slightly. Although they were both Shichibukai, they didn't know each other before.

"I just heard that the senior has some very good things. As a newcomer who has just joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea, it is only natural for the senior to give me some gifts to celebrate."

"Oh?"

Moriah became slightly interested.

"You are such a gutless brat that you actually want to snatch the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"Let me teach you a little bit. The pirate world is not a game of playing house. If you are not careful, you may lose all your friends!"

Moria was still lying motionless, but beside him, a black shadow that looked almost exactly like him appeared.

That was his shadow. With the power of the Shadow Fruit, he could turn his shadow into a clone to assist him in battle. Not only that, the Shadow Mage could also ignore any damage, and in some ways, was almost more difficult to deal with than the original body.

"Before you do anything, let me ask you something."

Rhodes glanced at Moria's Shadow Mage.

"Can the Shichibukai fight each other?"

"Now you know you regret it?"

Moriah was still lying on the ground.

He is a veteran Shichibukai, having been one more than ten years ago.

During the past decade or so, there have been some personnel changes among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, including some ignorant brats like Rhodes.

Although he lost to Kaido in the battle that year and lost all his companions, Moriah did not think that the new Shichibukai who were still in the first half of the Grand Line would be his opponent.

I'm afraid that the Shadow Mage alone can completely eliminate the opponent.

"It's too late! Although I won't kill you, I will take your shadow!"

Moriah's shadow mage suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Rhodes.

The Shadow Mage was the same size as Moriah. With a height of nearly seven meters, even with his arms outstretched, he was larger than Rhodes himself.

"In other words, as long as you are able to survive, that's all."

Rhodes summarized Moria's words on his own.

Although Rhode did not intend to continue to serve as a Shichibukai, the title was still useful as his companions still needed time to grow. Rhode also did not want to be stripped of the title by the World Government so soon.

At least we have to wait until our partners have gone through this period of sedimentation.

Rhodes slightly misstepped his steps and dodged the Shadow Mage's grabbing arm. Then a layer of dark domineering aura instantly covered his palm, and he punched the Shadow Mage hard.

Bang! !

The Shadow Mage, who should not have been afraid of any physical attack, was knocked to the ground by a punch. Although he didn't say anything, one could feel his pain just from the way he rolled around holding his stomach.

"Domineering?"

Moriah sat up straight abruptly.

Although he has been hiding in the Devil's Triangle like a otaku for more than ten years, perfecting his plan for a zombie army, this does not mean that Moria has never paid attention to intelligence.

He also learned about the Rod Pirates from previous newspapers, and knew that they were just a new pirate group that had just set out to sea this year.

Although it did cause a lot of noise, Moria did not take them seriously.

Pirates who have not experienced the baptism of the 'New World' will never know how terrifying the real monsters in this world are.

However, he did not expect that the Rod Pirates, who had just entered the Grand Line not long ago, had already mastered the use of Armament Haki.

And judging from the feeling when Rod was fighting just now, the opponent was quite skilled in using Armament Haki.

"Is this surprising enough?"

Rhodes smiled slightly, then moved his feet and instantly appeared in front of Moria.

"So fast!!"

Moriah's pupils suddenly contracted.

However, he had not exercised enough and his obese body made it impossible for him to react.

Bang! !

Rhodes' fist hit Moriah directly on the forehead.

Boom!
Moria, who had just sat up, fell down again, and his head hit the wall hard, directly breaking through the thick wall.

The terrifying fist force penetrated instantly, and the armed color domineering also penetrated into Moria's body at the same time, and strands of black lightning were looming.

"Wow--"

Moria suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. His already pale face became even paler, and even his eyes turned white. He was almost knocked unconscious by Rhodes' punch.

"You are too weak!"

Rhodes looked at Moria.

"I feel ashamed to be a member of the Shichibukai with a fellow like you."
