Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

Bucky was terrified, thinking he was possessed by some god of bad luck—he was supposed to be looking for One Piece, so how did he end up on this path?!

Bucky was terrified, thinking he was possessed by some god of bad luck—he was supposed to be looking for One Piece, so how did he end up on this path?!

Didn't we agree that my direction would lead to the treasure?!

Upon entering the Devil's Triangle, they were immediately surrounded by a horde of zombies and then brought before Moria.

Moria was overjoyed that he had captured the 'Clown King' who possessed the One Piece in one fell swoop. Moria was also very suspicious at the time, wondering why a pirate with a bounty of 3 billion Berries would be so weak.

Just as Moria was beginning to suspect that the clown was an imposter trying to sabotage him, Aqua stepped forward.

"I was wondering why there were so many undead here; it turns out it was you, the demon contractor, who was behind it all!!!"

A beautiful, blue-haired girl, clearly not very bright, stepped forward with her hands on her hips, pointing at Moria and the demons behind him, and began to hurl insults.

"Before me, the undead dare to assemble into an army and walk on the ground! Too evil, utterly intolerable! A necromancer like you needs this goddess to personally purify you!!!"

"Sacred Break Spell!"

Moria saw Aqua cross her arms and emit a sea-blue light.

Without any domineering impulse, powerful aura, or babbling, a beam of light shot out from her hand and exploded above the terrifying triangular sail.

And then? And then there was no more.

Question: Devil Fruit + Undead + Darkness vs. Holy + Purification + Water Goddess = ?

Moria was instantly killed before he could even react.

Oh no, he wasn't even hit, so there's no question of him being instantly killed. He just brushed against the edge, got hit by some unknown area-of-effect attack, and then collapsed to the ground unconscious with a whoosh!

毕竟一般的恶魔果实能力者在阿库娅这里顶多也就是吃一个恶魔+怕水的2X2的四倍特攻，他莫利亚倒好，影子+不死族这一块让他直接吃满了2X2X2X2的十六倍特攻。

—Oh no, it's a pervert from the Axis Cult! This attack... is even more terrifying than Kaido's!!!

These were Moria's last thoughts before he fell into a coma, and then, after an unknown amount of time, he slowly woke up.

Beside him were Perona trembling, Absalom being held down and harassed by a perverted knight, and Hogback, the only one who seemed unharmed because he wasn't a Devil Fruit user, but was tightly bound.

Oh right, there are several boxes of gold and silver jewelry next to it, which were taken by that greedy boy in the green cloak and the blue-haired Axis cult pervert.

As for the other subordinates? Haha, that's a good question. I will answer you in the most direct, straightforward, no-nonsense, no-beating, and honest way.

It's over!

Moria's zombie army, created using the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, is a creation of the fruit's power. In this world, shadows are "another soul" shared by all living beings, and the Shadow-Shadow Fruit's power can capture and control shadows, placing them into other bodies to obtain zombies that obey Moria.

But with Aqua, he's been hit by a full barrage of special attacks.

She is a demon, a soul tormentor, and a Devil Fruit user who fears seawater. According to Aqua's judgment, the zombie army she created is all of the lowest level of undead.

Yes, no matter how strong these zombies were in life, even if Moria only turns pirates with enough fighting power who accidentally wander into his territory into zombies, even if there is the corpse of a powerful figure like Ryuma the Dragon Slayer among them, it doesn't matter.

Because no matter how powerful you were in life, how domineering you were, or how skilled you were at swordsmanship, it doesn't prevent you from being the lowest-level resurrected corpses in the world of the dead.

Such a low-level undead being affected by a true god's purification...

When Moria woke up, he instantly felt that all the shadows linked to him had vanished without a trace.

His decades-long collection of zombies and souls was completely purified in less than a second. Only one skull with an afro escaped, while the survivors all joined Buggy's side, and his Thriller Bark Pirates were wiped out.

Hahaha, this must be some kind of nightmare! Moria, as if transported back to that day in Wano Country more than twenty years ago, closed his eyes, unwilling to accept reality, but when he opened them, the same thing was still there.

"Aaaaaah, Buggy, you cunning and despicable bastard! You tricked me by pretending to be weak!!!"

Belial, who completely disregarded Aqua's power and believed Buggy was feigning an attack, was utterly defeated as he watched his years of accumulated strength crumble in a single blow. He pointed at Buggy and launched into a tirade of abuse.

"What, you're awake? Take another Holy Purification from me!" Aqua looked over and then fired a Holy Purification.

"Aa ...

However, if Aqua were to 'purify' the Devil Fruit power itself, a short-term purification would render the power completely ineffective and unusable. But if the purification were prolonged or if Aqua were to use extreme measures, the power would be completely expelled from his body.

After all, in Aqua's understanding, the so-called Devil Fruit ability is actually something similar to a devil's curse - as long as the principle is there, it's fine as long as it can be purified!

But this process is undoubtedly extremely painful. After all, Devil Fruits are products that are highly linked to human life, especially after awakening the fruit's power, which is almost integrated with life itself.

The effect of Moria receiving such an exorcism spell was basically no less than being torn to pieces.

As for whether she herself will also be purified and ascend to heaven... that's beyond Aqua's control.

It's possible, but it's not necessarily a bad thing, in Aqua's opinion.

After all, a soul 'cursed' by a demon would go to hell if it died! Being purified allows it to go to heaven—that's a good thing!!!

That's how it's believed in Aqua's worldview, so Gecko Moria is about to be directly purified by Aqua.

"If you go to hell, remember to tell your demon master that it was the great goddess Aqua who purified you!"

"But if you're lucky enough to be saved by this goddess and sent to heaven—remember to tell them to send someone to pick me up right away!!!"

Aqua shouted as she continued purifying.

A vast collection of works from all realms and infinite possibilities http://

683. Aqua: Kaido, you are the challenger!

Hmm, that's a bit strange. Why do I feel like I'm seeing some old friends from the past?

Moria, standing on the other side of the Sanzu River, looked at his old friend waving at him from the other side and, somewhat bewildered, decided to walk over.

Then, in a daze, he returned to reality, listening to the sounds coming from above his head in a daze.

"You idiot, stop right now!" Kazuma punched Aqua on the head, preventing poor Moria from dying instantly.

"What are you doing, Kazuma! I'm purifying a demon, it's a very sacred thing!" Aqua cried, covering her head.

"Shut up! They're not demons, they're just Devil Fruit users!"

"What?! Even so, commanding so many undead makes them look like an evil organization!"

While they were arguing, Buggy finally snapped out of the terror of being punched to pieces by Aqua at any moment. Realizing just how terrifying the woman next to him was, his face turned green and he quickly turned his head.

To survive, to survive—we must make this dim-witted woman understand that we Devil Fruit users actually have absolutely nothing to do with demons!!!

"Moria, tell me you want to live!"

In a moment of desperation, Bucky grabbed the half-dead Moria and, mimicking Captain Rayleigh's tone, shouted in a mysterious manner,

He winked at Moria, trying to get him to tell some stories to make himself look pitiful so he could escape from this terrifying woman. Moria, whether from being too traumatized or from being unable to control himself under Aqua's magical purification, blurted out his tragic story.

Moriah: "I want to live! Take me with you to the sea!"

As a child, he was warmly taken in by the people of the Ringo region of Wano Country. Due to his great strength, he was given the name "Kozuki". After many years at sea, he heard that his hometown was in trouble. In order to save the people of Wano Country, he resolutely returned to fight Kaido. In the end, he lost all his companions and was greatly shocked and never recovered.

His current state is a result of the devastating loss of his companions, so he wants to create an army of zombies that will never die to avenge them, and at the same time, he will never have to fear the pain of losing his comrades again.

The four guys with slightly impaired minds were deeply moved by the story, especially after hearing about Kaido's atrocities in Wano Country. They felt a strong sense of righteous indignation and shared the same sentiment. Buggy wiped his eyes and sighed, "As expected of a Shichibukai, he's so good at making up stories!"

If I hadn't actually known a complete idiot named Kozuki on a ship before, I might have believed your nonsense!

But Buggy had no choice but to continue with the lie he had made up, and boldly declared that he would take Moria to avenge Kaido and liberate the people of Wano Country, because he and Kozuki Oden were close friends (for sure)!

Moria was also shocked. Did Buggy actually know Kozuki Oden? And thinking about it carefully, he did seem to have heard someone say that the heir of the powerful Kozuki family had once left Wano Country with a pirate ship.

Moria had no doubt that Buggy was lying, after all, very few people knew the name Kozuki Oden. However, despite this, he was still furious that Buggy had 'killed' all his zombie companions!

Moriah: I would rather die than board your ship!

Then Aqua casually demonstrated a resurrection spell, reviving one of Moria's former crewmates.

According to her, the heavens and hells in this world seem a bit too lenient; there's no god of death or underworld soldiers, so resurrection doesn't even require going through the local god's Oahu (Original Aspect of the Underworld).

Is that even a Devil Fruit ability?!

Bucky was shocked, Moria was shocked, and they opened their mouths wide, making expressions that perfectly matched the style of the artwork.

What else is there to say? Moria bowed deeply to Bagina without hesitation, filled with admiration for the captain who had saved his life and demonstrated his ability to resurrect the dead.

Moriah: That was just a joke. I, Moriah, swear to be loyal to Captain Bucky to the death!

And so, in a rather haphazard way, Buggy recruited Moria's entire crew, and then headed towards the New World.

These four mentally unstable individuals naturally lost their excuse to disembark. Megumin and Darkness were preoccupied with grand narratives of going to Wano Country to defeat the evil dragon and save the country, while Kazuma had his eye on the world-class treasure that Buggy could no longer hide. Although Aqua threw a tantrum and begged them to help her find the thief, her vote was invalidated on the spot due to the three-on-one situation.

So, after barely surviving the clutches of the terrifying, brain-dead serial killer, the Buggy Grand Fleet officially set sail!

My goal: Wano Country, to defeat Arlong and marry Princess Koga!!!

After facing numerous challenges, they crossed the Sabaody Archipelago, entered the New World, and then plunged headlong into Dressrosa.

And then... that's it.

The unlucky Doflamingo was killed by Megumin's Explosion Magic without even showing his face, and his subordinates were also wiped out.

They successfully covered Luffy's two-year journey in just three months! Awesome!!!

Surrounded by the fervent enthusiasm of the pirates, Buggy struggled to maintain his facade before announcing that he was going to borrow some food from the locals in Dressrosa.

—Of course he paid for it! Don't get the wrong idea, what would pirates do if they didn't pay? Besides, Aqua was watching, so Buggy wouldn't dare to have any bad habits!

Soon, Bucky and his friends were greeted by a warm welcome from all sides of Dressrosa.

After the Hobby-Hobby Fruit lost its effect, the people of Dressrosa immediately recalled their forgotten memories and were furious when they realized how cruel Doflamingo had done.

So, isn't Buggy the Clown King, who liberated them and killed Doflamingo, their savior? No, he should be called a savior!

Wine, meat, and beauties! We must serve our savior well!

Buggy and Kazuma, along with their fellow Dressrosa natives, were so engrossed in the hospitality of their fellow countrymen that they forgot all about their homeland for seven days, completely unaware of how big and conspicuous they were as targets, or of the Yonko who had a secret business relationship with Doflamingo.

So, on the evening of the seventh day, a drunken Baki staggered to the palace terrace amidst the panicked cries of his men, only to be startled awake by the sight of the sky.

In the pitch-black sky, amidst flashes of lightning and thunder, a long, azure dragon swayed within the churning, swirling clouds.

In the pitch-black sea of ​​clouds, the Azure Dragon poked out its enormous head, exhaling scorching breath, and stared intently at Bucky.

"Kai, Kai, Kaido!!!" Buggy's voice was distorted with fear.

"Ah, I remember now, yes, you're that brat from Roger's ship!" Kaido grinned maliciously at Buggy.
