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

The noise subsided after a short while.

Guxin also began to make preliminary calculations about what he would gain this time.

First, there's the generous amount of experience points gained after defeating Moria.

Since both Dragonite and Tyranitar are S-class tier, they have not yet advanced to the next stage.

However, Gengar got a "help" and was promoted to S- rank, becoming the second Pokémon after Gardevoir to be promoted from A rank to S rank.

In addition, other Pokémon also gained some experience points after arriving on the island.

Secondly, there are Devil Fruits, which are also something he values ​​highly.

Through this battle, he successfully acquired the Paramecia-type Shadow Fruit and the Paramecia-type Ghost Fruit, both of which are extremely powerful Devil Fruits, at least top-tier even if not top-tier (T0).

Hmm... If we include the Clear-Clear Fruit that Absalom provided before, he got a total of three Devil Fruits from Moria's team.

Meanwhile, Moriah's body was also a great find.

For this reason, Tyranitar held back its power when attacking.

As a Shichibukai, Moria's strength should not be underestimated; he is a great asset, and his identity is also quite important.

He did not intend to reveal Moria's death, but rather to keep "Moria" alive in the world.

Often, the living are far more useful than the dead.

For example, he could get Gengar to possess Moria and do things that he couldn't do himself.

In addition, there are unknown Pokémon that are still in development and worth looking forward to.

His gains on this trip were considerable.

Next, everyone was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and dealing with the unfortunate souls on the island who had regained their shadows.

Moria uses shadows, which require the shadow owners to be alive, but they cannot be exposed to sunlight. So these people hide in the forest of Thriller Bark, unable to escape.

A large portion of them are pirates, and a smaller portion are other people.

There's no need to let the wicked go, but let the others leave. However, they need to be discreet and avoid being discovered.

As for whether doing this will reveal that Moria is in trouble?

It's very simple. After that, let Moria show his face and briefly demonstrate his shadow abilities, then let the outside world fill in the blanks.

For example, Moria might have changed his mind and abandoned the zombie army? Or perhaps he accidentally ran into a problem while developing a new ability, which allowed these people to escape... It's easy to get away with it.

As for Guxin, he found a secluded place to enjoy the fruits of his victory.

"I am truly amazed. He is indeed worthy of being our captain." After a long while, Urki looked at Guxin's departing figure, put his hands together, and said with great admiration.

"It is my blessing to be able to follow such a leader."

"It must be because I 'obeyed the precepts' when I was on the Sky Island that I have this blessing."

Van Augur's face was cold, and he couldn't help but twitch his lips as he said, "Are you sure you're 'obeying the precepts'? I think you're the least obedient monk in the world."

Having known each other for so long, everyone knows what kind of person Urki is.

It is no exaggeration to say that, apart from his speech and clothing, Urki did not resemble a monk at all.

He loved drinking and eating meat, and he also loved picking fights.

Every single one of these actions is a violation of the precepts.

"Benefactor Oka, you are attached to appearances. You should know that Buddha is compassionate. All my actions are based on my thoughts. This is not breaking the precepts, but keeping them." Urki's smile was exaggerated, and he was talking nonsense.

"It seems... to make sense?" Chopper said, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Chopper, Vivi, and the others just arrived and joined them.

On the other side, Guxin arrived at the castle courtyard, one of the few places that hadn't been affected by the battle and was relatively intact.

"Genius!"

Gengar leaped out from the shadow beneath its feet, presenting a Devil Fruit in each hand like a treasure.

The one on the left is entirely black with green leaves on the outside; it is the Shadow Fruit.

The one on the right is whitish-yellow in color, with several banana-like root-like branches, each with tiny black eyes; it is the Ghost Fruit.

"So, which one are you interested in?" Gu Xin asked after looking them over.

Both of these fruits are unique and, in theory, fit Gengar's characteristics.

"Genki!" Gengar looked at the Shadow Berry in its left hand, drool dripping from the corner of its mouth, eager to eat it.

So he's actually interested in the Shadow-Shadow Fruit?

Guxin was a little surprised, but understandable, and still asked, "Are you interested in this Ghost Fruit?"

"Genkigen." Gengar shook his head; he only wanted to eat the Shadow-Shadow Fruit.

Considering that eating fruit would cause entries to evolve, Gu Xin had a guess in his mind.

It might not necessarily be about eating the Devil Fruit that corresponds to a Pokémon, but rather the Devil Fruit that matches the description.

Perfect timing! Gengar eats the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, so he can eat the Ghost-Ghost Fruit instead.

Snorlax is currently at A+ rank, and its maximum number of [Extreme Gourmet Cells] is 4, which means it can eat one more Devil Fruit.

Meanwhile, Snorlax is already very close to S-rank and is about to break through, so the maximum number of Snorlax will also increase accordingly.

So Gushin and Gengar both ate the Devil Fruit.

Name: Gengar

[Type: Ghost, Poison]

【Characteristic: Cursed Body】

[Strength: S-]

[Skills: Shadow Ball, Misfortune Comes Alone, Will-o'-the-Wisp...]

【Extreme Shadow Possession: Gengar can create multiple clones, each with the same abilities as the original. All clones can enter and control the shadow of the deceased, inheriting the deceased's strength and memories. However, the corpse must be 60% or more intact. Currently, the number of clones that can be created is 2.】

[Dimensional Realm: Gengar can create different dimensional realms of varying sizes at any time, which can be used not only to store objects and people, but also to imprison enemies in battle to prevent them from escaping]

First, [Shadow Possession] evolves into [Extreme Shadow Possession], resulting in a dramatic change in its effects.

Gengar can currently split into two clones, each possessing its full power and abilities, and both can inhabit the corpses of others. Including its original body, it can inhabit up to three corpses at the same time.

At the same time, the requirement for corpse integrity has been reduced from 80% to 60%, and there is no strength restriction... This means that as long as the integrity requirement is met, even the strongest Corpse Gengar can be used!

Gu Xin's imagination runs wild.

If circumstances allow, he might even see Gengar simultaneously inhabiting the corpses of the Four Emperors, and then attacking Mary Geoise together.

The thought of that scene is terrifying.

In addition, because Gengar reached S- rank, it also gained a new attribute called [Otherworldly Realm].

Originally, it could only create a different space within its body that changed as its strength grew, used for storing items and plundering Devil Fruits.

It is now more widely available.

It can create alternate dimensions anywhere, such as an open space or a sea surface, and then open a door. You can put things or people inside to rest or hide, and it can also trap enemies in battle.

The downside is that each extradimensional space requires its own energy to maintain, and extradimensional spaces have a limit to their capacity; they will be destroyed if attacked to a certain extent.

Nevertheless, it remains a fairly useful term!
