Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 376 One blow, quit the king's addiction!

Strom's Observation Haki clearly captured Kaido's emotional changes.

He chuckled inwardly, his opinion of the "Azure Dragon's" will and spirit diminishing once more.

Honestly.

Storm thought Kaido of the Beasts was just a very "ordinary" pirate.

This "ordinary" doesn't refer to Kaido's ordinary strength, but rather to his character—"

Not too extreme.

In terms of spirit, loyalty, and purity, Kaido of the Beasts is no match for Whitebeard.

In terms of ambition, shamelessness, and forbearance, Kaido of the Beasts is no match for Blackbeard.

This makes Kaido of the Beasts seem rather "ordinary".

of course.

The "ordinary" that Storm refers to is not a derogatory term.

Kaido of the Beasts is the quintessential "great pirate".

Strength, ambition, dreams, and spirit—all the hallmarks of a great pirate.

At least he's much better than that truly mentally ill Big Mom.

It's even better than the later "Straw Hat Boy" and "Thousand Taels of Gold".

For such an "ordinary" pirate emperor.

Since the other party has come to him of their own accord, Storm has no intention of "refusing".

Although Storm and the new Navy do not intend to target the Pirate Emperor for the time being.

But today, Kaido of the Beasts flew to Whole Cake Island himself, courting his own death.

Storm had no choice but to reluctantly send him to the "Void Prison"!

As for the Beasts Pirates of Wano Country...

Storm will take care of it when he has time.

After all, Wano Country and the Beasts Pirates were originally among his targets.

Ancient weapon [Pluto], Seastone mine, Red Roadmark historical text ---"·

There are really a lot of "treasures" in Wano Country!

Suppressing his thoughts, Storm manipulated the Blue-Eyes White Dragon to continue approaching Kaido of the Beasts.

But just then, a swarm of dark, dense shadow bats flew up from the Totto Land below.

The scene of the White Dragon Emperor and Kaido of the Beasts "facing off" in the skies of Whole Cake Island had already been observed by others.

Out of respect for "His Majesty the White Dragon Emperor," no one in Whole Cake Island dared to fly up into the sky at this moment and interfere with the "conversation" between the two pirate emperors.

But there are always exceptions to everything.

For example, there's a certain gloomy fat otaku (crossed out) who has been "borrowing" in Whole Cake Island and has a blood feud with Kaido of the Beasts—Gecko Moria!

A group of shadow bats flew into the sky, huddled together, and formed a human shape.

A dark, fat, humanoid shadow appeared in the sky.

And in the very next instant.

"Kagemusha!"

The dark figure vanished, replaced by Gecko Moria's true form.

The ability to swap positions with one's own "shadow clones" at any time and place is one of the special abilities of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit.

"Kaido of the Beasts"

As soon as Gecko Moria appeared, he roared at the Pirate Emperor in front of him, filled with resentment and anger.

"We meet again!"

Compared to the extremely excited Gecko Moria.

Kaido of the Beasts looked somewhat confused.

Who is this chubby white guy?

Kaido of the Beasts wasn't unfamiliar with the Shadow-Shadow Fruit.

More than a decade ago, he also fought against a user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit.

"You are—Magic Duck?"

Kaido of the Beasts looked at Gecko Moria in surprise, carefully observing the latter's physical features, and asked uncertainly.

If he remembers correctly.

The Gecko Moria he knew, the Gecko Moria from over a decade ago—was still very thin.

But the pot-bellied, obese fellow in front of him, who looked like a mutated inflatable fish, was also Gecko Moria?

Moonlight Moria's expression suddenly hardened, and an even greater rage welled up in his heart.

He had been reciting Kaido's name for over ten years.

For the past decade or so, every time Gecko Moria created or collected a shadow, he would think about how to transform it into new fighting power, how to use it for revenge against Kaido of the Beasts—"

but.

"How dare you forget me!"

Every inch of fat on Gecko Moria's body seemed to tremble slightly, and every wave of flesh seemed to contain a surging rage.

"How dare you forget my name!?"

"Die! Kaido of the Beasts! Horned Blade Shadow!!"

Moonlight Moria raised his hands, and a huge, seemingly real yet illusory black spear instantly materialized in his palms.

The shadowy spear formed from the horned blade easily tore through the air and stabbed Kaido of the Beasts at an extremely fast speed.

The jet-black shadow spear emitted white ripples, the fluctuations caused by the tearing of air, clearly indicating its extraordinary power.

Even a Titan would be easily pierced through by Gecko Moria's furious attack.

But Kaido of the Beasts is not a giant.

He is the "Pirate Emperor," even more terrifying than giants!

Faced with Gecko Moria's "slow and hesitant" attack, Kaido of the Beasts frowned slightly. He pulled out his spiked club, the Eight Precepts, from somewhere and swung it with ease.

With the power of the Pirate Emperor's berserk strength, the massive Eighth Guardian left a black afterimage in mid-air and accurately struck the oncoming "Horned Blade Shadow" in the blink of an eye.

boom!

A muffled collision sound erupted high in the sky.

Gecko Moria's raging "Horned Blade Shadow" couldn't withstand even a moment's resistance against Kaido's spiked club, the Eighth Guardian.

That special "shadow spearhead," which resembled a strange lizard, was smashed off course by Kaido's spiked club, completely losing its accuracy and power.

"It really is you, Gecko Moria."

Kaido of the Beasts finally recognized the Shichibukai in front of him. He slung his spiked club over his shoulder and frowned as he looked at the other man.

"You piece of trash, you actually pledged allegiance to the White Dragon Emperor?"

Who is Gecko Moria?

Kaido of the Beasts can't remember anymore.

In any case, over the years, countless great pirates of similar caliber to Gecko Moria have fallen under his Eight Precepts.

But such a useless person.

How could we possibly pledge allegiance to the White Dragon Emperor?

Kaido of the Beasts frowned deeply, glancing warily at the White Dragon Emperor beside him with a hint of regret.

If the White Dragon Emperor can "accept" even a piece of trash like Gecko Moria, why would he refuse to "ally" with him?

He just couldn't understand it!

Kaido's "sharp commentary" nearly shattered Gecko Moria's mental defenses.

Although he did indeed harbor the idea of ​​"using Storm's power to exact revenge on the beasts".

But how can this be called "seeking refuge"?

Gecko Moria is also a member of the "Cross Guild," and his relationship with Strom is one of "equality."

of!

That's right.

Gecko Moria has now joined the "Cross Guild"!

A while ago.

Moonlight Moria arrived in Totto Land first, followed closely by Sand Crocodile.

Crocodile considered that everyone was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea—even though White Dragon had "upgraded" to become the Pirate Emperor—but Crocodile didn't dwell on the issue too much.

Moreover, everyone gathered in Totto Land, the capital of the world.

Crocodile then revealed the existence of the "Cross Guild" to Gecko Moria.

Gecko Moria didn't hesitate for long before joining the "Cross Guild".

Although aside from being a "member of the Cross Guild".

Gecko Moria is also a member of the "Princess Mononoke Pirates".

The latter is one of the subsidiary pirate crews of the Storm Pirates.

In terms of status, Gecko Moria was a subordinate of Storm's subordinate.

But...

Gecko Moria had absolutely no recollection of the Mononoke Pirates!

He is a member of the Cross Guild!

"You bastard!!"

Enraged, Gecko Moria once again activated the power of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, creating a swarm of shadow bats and maneuvering them towards Kaido of the Beasts.

He himself, without hesitation, unleashed the ultimate attack of the [Shadow-Shadow Fruit], "Shadow Gathering Ground!"

Shadows drifted out from Totto Land and merged into Moonlight Moria's body at an extremely fast speed, causing his size to expand rapidly.

Storm looked at Gecko Moria, who was full of youthful passion and always ready to unleash his ultimate move, and after thinking about it, he decided to give up on stopping him.

Previously, Gecko Moria had taken his advice and gone to Impel Down, where he harvested quite a few shadows.

After arriving in the New World, he obtained many shadows of powerful figures from Storm.

Through the shadows of these powerful figures, the power of Gecko Moria's "Shadow Gathering Place" has also increased significantly in terms of quality.

All the shadows that Gecko Moria had accumulated over the past decade or so combined couldn't compare to the shadows he had collected recently!

just.

Gecko Moria, after all, has his limits...

Storm watched as Moonlight Moria rapidly "inflated" like a pufferfish and shook his head inwardly.

Set aside your desire to help others and respect their fate.

Storm should let Moonlight Moria give it a try. How will he know where his limits are if he doesn't try?

When the shadow bat flew in front of Kaido of the Beasts.

Gecko Moria also completed his "Gigantamax Transformation," evolving from an ordinary big fat guy into a super big fat guy.

"Breathe, breathe—·Kagemusha!"

Moonlight Moria let out a heavy sigh, barely suppressing his nearly out-of-control shadow power, and without hesitation swapped positions with one of his shadow bats.

The next instant.

Gecko Moria's enormous body traversed space and arrived directly in front of Kaido of the Beasts.

The sudden appearance of such a large "lump" of a person in front of Kaido of the Beasts certainly startled him.

Kaido of the Beasts subconsciously swung his spiked club, the Eight Precepts, with silver-white lightning crackling around its ferocious and terrifying blade.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"

Gecko Moria, who had just arrived, was completely unable to react quickly enough due to his enormous body, and he was also unable to dodge the "greeting gift" from Kaido of the Beasts.

Bang! Kaido's spiked club slammed heavily into Gecko Moria's stomach, creating a series of astonishing waves of flesh.

Under Kaido's ferocious bombardment, Gecko Moria's enormous body, which was as large as a giant, was rapidly pushed back and flown away like a deflated balloon.

The dripping blood mixed with the black shadows danced wildly in the sky.

Shadows flew out one by one, and Moonlight Moria's size continued to shrink until it returned to its original size.

As Moonlight Moria was about to fly past the location of Storm.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon swung its tail and hooked onto Moonlight Moria's body with perfect precision.

Storm looked closely and saw that the "magic duck" had blood coming from the corner of its mouth and its eyes rolled back, clearly indicating that it had lost consciousness.

One stick to cure addiction to King.

This magic duck is just lame.
