He's a pirate, but also a Pokémon Master.

Urki is the helmsman.

The helmsman of a pirate ship is usually a symbol of great strength.

For example, Jinbe from the Straw Hat Pirates and Burgess from the Blackbeard Pirates.

While serving as helmsmen, they are also front-line tanks and meat shields in team battles, often taking the lead in combat.

For Urki, a battle maniac, this position couldn't be more suitable.

After seven months of training, he not only gained immense strength and mastered both types of Haki, but also further developed his Devil Fruit abilities.

A mere three-headed dog is nothing but a lackey in front of him!

"Hey!"

Ulki smiled and his hands, as big as millstones, gripped the dog's head tightly like iron clamps, squeezing it out of shape, causing the three-headed dog to howl in pain.

The dog's head in the middle, with its bloodshot eyes, lunged at him frantically.

So close, Urki could even smell the fishy stench from their breath.

Immediately, his hands turned a black iron color, and he slammed the two heads together, causing the three dog heads to collide.

With the added aura of dominance, the three-headed dog's body showed signs of collapse.

Before long, Urki lost interest and casually took out the salt gun that Meow Meow had given him, using it to eliminate the shadow of the three-headed dog.

"Cerberus? Seems a bit weak." Urouge scratched the back of his head and laughed.

If possible, he would prefer to have a more powerful enemy.

"I think your wish won't be in vain," Guxin said casually as he continued walking forward.

He remembered that Moria had kept the corpse of Oars from the Land of the Rising Sun, and in the original work, he took Luffy's shadow and stuffed it into the car to power it.

Oz of the Kingdom was no ordinary being; his nickname alone reveals his extraordinary nature. He belonged to the ancient race of giants and was several times larger than ordinary giants.

How big is it?

Ötzi was known as "Ötzi the Country-Moving" because he liked to move entire islands and countries that he fancied.

It's hard to imagine someone moving an island or country just because they like it.

I wonder if Moria has any useful shadows at hand right now; he'll probably be able to fight Oz later.

He had already verified on Treasure Island that defeating zombies could also earn experience points, so he couldn't miss out.

"Ho ho ho, this is something to look forward to!" Urouge smiled, bowed to the fallen Cerberus, clasped his hands together, and continued to follow the captain.

Since Gu Xin said that, there must be a surprise coming.

Along the way, various animal zombies and soldier zombies appeared and attacked them, but the result was the same: they could not stop them at all and soon approached the castle.

Due to the large number of items, Guxin had everyone split up to clean them, which was more efficient.

For a time, the entire terror schooner was in "danger".

Such a commotion naturally reached the central castle very quickly.

"Bulu Bulu."

"Bulu Bulu."

"Lord Moria! An urgent report!"

"Enemies have boarded the ship! The zombie horde is dwindling significantly. The enemy is...."

"Gushin, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

……

Upstairs in the castle, there's a protruding balcony space.

A figure slowly walked over, gazing into the distance.

Its height of about seven meters makes it quite imposing.

He had two prominent horns on either side of his forehead and reddish-purple hair like scallions.

A vertical suture line extends from the center of the face to the neck, making the neck appear exceptionally thick and long in proportion to the body.

Its ears and teeth are sharp, while its lower body is relatively fat and short compared to its upper body, resembling a roly-poly toy.

"Hehehehe...Guxin!!"

Moria's face contorted in a ferocious grin, revealing sharp fangs; he resembled a bloodthirsty bat, teetering on the brink of losing control.

He practically screamed through gritted teeth, "Guxin!! You bastard!"

"I haven't even approached you yet, and you've already delivered yourself to my doorstep!"

"I will tear your shadow out and torment it day and night! To avenge Absalom!"

His desire to kill Guxin has been brewing for more than just a day or two.

He should have come to us, but now Guxin has come to us himself.

This made him both angry and happy. He was angry that Guxin didn't take him seriously, but happy that Guxin had walked right into his trap, saving him the trouble of searching for him.

As for whether he would be wary of Yixiao, who had previously displayed formidable strength?

Are you kidding me!

He simply wasn't able to unleash his full potential back in Mary Geoise.

Now we're on Thriller Bark, at his headquarters!

With so many shadows at his disposal, his strength can reach an extremely high level, allowing him to fully unleash his accumulated power over many years.

So he wasn't afraid at all.

The next instant, a shadow was cast into the distance, and Moria's figure disappeared as well.

He's going to kill that bastard Guxin!

……

On the other side, Guxin also encountered an interesting enemy.

In the dark, dense forest, a distinctive and recognizable voice rang out.

"Yo-hoo-hoo-hoo—we've encountered the enemy!"

"This is the first time anyone has come to this place."

A figure emerged from the woods.

His body was wrapped in yellowish bandages, and his eye sockets and nasal cavity were hollow like a mummy with no pupils or nose. His mouth was half covered by a thick dark blue scarf.

The body shows obvious suture lines, the skin is dry and withered, with a rigor mortis-like grayness, the white hair is withered, but the hairstyle still retains the outline of a samurai's topknot.

She wore a white, wide-sleeved kimono, with a clear black "dragon" character embroidered on the front of each arm, and a large, sharp sword called "Shusui" (秋水) with twenty-one techniques attached to her waist!

The legendary swordsman—Ryuma Yo, the dragon slayer…

Gu Xin thought to himself.

Of course, at this moment, Ryoma is just a body, filled with Brook's shadow, and his main attack method is still Brook's moves.

"How about I take the lead?" asked Yi Xiao, who was with him.

The opponent is a swordsman, so it's appropriate for him to take the lead.

To avoid Guxin wasting his energy now and delaying the battle with Moria later.

But Guxin shook his head.

He wanted to test his skills against Ryoma, so he decided to use his sword.

The next moment, Hua Zhou emerged from the shadows, which Gu Xin held firmly in his hand.

Seeing this, Ryoma laughed loudly, then charged forward, transforming into a flash of light: "Watch out! Young swordsman!"

It rushed past Guxin, slashed out with incredible speed, then slowed down and gently sheathed its blade.

"Revolutionary Dance - Charge!"

However, he suddenly realized something was wrong. The feeling of the strike was off; it seemed to have struck empty air without any real impact. He quickly turned around to block!

boom!

Suddenly, Gu Xin appeared, wielding the Flower Island and slashing down vertically.

The immense force caused Ryoma to exclaim, "That's terrifying power! If it had hit me, I'd probably be dead by now!"

"However... I've already died, yohohoho—"

Using his skills, Longma barely managed to evade Huazhou. He then unleashed his true power, using all his strength to unleash his trump card. The [Autumn Water] sword shone brightly, carrying a sword aura as it hurtled towards him at lightning speed.

【Nose Song Sando • Arrow Tail Slash】!

This is Brook's signature sword technique, which, combined with Ryoma's physical abilities, is enough to unleash astonishing power!

But Guxin showed no intention of dodging. He simply stayed in place, silently concentrating his mind, and unleashed a massive flying slash!

【Air Blade】!

This special flying skill becomes even more powerful when wielded with swords, just like the swordsman's signature move—the Flying Slash!

In an instant, Gu Xin was seen by others as a true swordsman!

Yi Xiao was surprised, not expecting that Gu Xin had this trick up his sleeve.

He had no idea that Gu Xin was actually a swordsman!

Just as the sword's edge was about to strike, Moria would arrive.

The real battle is about to begin!
