One Piece: The Emperor-Level Item Master Shocks the World

Upon seeing the scene before her, Lola couldn't help but show a solemn expression.

“Mr. Nose Song, get rid of him quickly! If he commands the shadows now, all our shadows will be sucked back.”

Upon hearing this, a determined look appeared in Brooke's eyes.

Immediately, the sword in his hand emitted wisps of black energy.

Instantly, a chilling aura spread throughout his body, and he attacked Moria with his sword.

Seeing this, Moria quickly retreated, then gathered all the surrounding shadows together and placed them in front of him.

But for Brook in his current state, this is utterly ineffective.

Brooke struck out with his sword, then returned to his original position. A moment later, the shadow wall shattered instantly.

A powerful slash instantly cleaved through Moria's chest.

Moria flew straight backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The blood froze instantly, and several ice spikes slowly grew from Moria's wound.

Moria lay down on the ground, panting heavily, then looked at Brook in horror.

"Who...who are you, and why..."

At this point, Moria coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood.

His body trembled uncontrollably as he continued:

"You can't kill me! I'm one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

"Yes, it is an important factor in maintaining maritime balance!"

"If you kill me, this ocean will lose its balance!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy took two steps forward, a cold look appearing in his eyes, and then punched the air with his fist.

"What does the balance of the sea have to do with us? You hurt my partner, I'm just trying to knock you away!"

Upon hearing this, Moria's eyes widened in terror, and he immediately moved backward.

Looking around, he realized there was no one around who could help him.

The Straw Hat crew, clenching their fists, charged toward Moria.

Moria, however, could only shrink back in terror.

Just when Moria thought he was going to die, a rough voice suddenly came.

"Hey, Lord Moria, don't be afraid, I'm coming to save you..."

Hearing this, Moria was moved, as if a glimmer of hope had appeared in his heart.

But when he turned around, even he was startled.

A muscular monster walked straight toward it.

The muscles looked very strange, as if they had been pieced together and stitched together.

The muscular monster was holding a long sword, and at first glance, he looked quite imposing.

But Moria looked up at his face and couldn't help but become somewhat serious.

He could vaguely tell that this guy was Hogback.

Although Moria knew Hogback's abilities.

But still, he looked at Hogback in disbelief and said:

"Hey, what's wrong with you? You've made yourself look like a ghost."

Before Moria could finish speaking, Hogback raised his sword.

A look of terror flashed in Moria's eyes, but before he could react, Hogback swung his sword down.

The longsword continued to spread upwards along Moria's original wound.

A streak of blood shot out more than ten feet away.

This time, Moria completely lost consciousness.

Upon seeing this, the Straw Hat crew all wore solemn expressions.

Looking at the unconscious Moria, Hogback let out that strange laugh and said:

"It's nothing, I just sewed the bodies of those general zombies onto my own body."

"I must say, the generals' corpses are really not bad. After they were sewn up, I immediately felt full of strength."

"I will repay you tenfold for everything you have done to me before!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the enormous Hogback raised his longsword and slashed it toward Leilo.

Because it was Lei Luo who killed him with a finger gun from a distance.

If his heart hadn't been modified long ago, he would surely be dead by now.

Therefore, the first person he wanted to kill was Lei Luo.

However, Hogback underestimated the Straw Hat crew's strength.

Chapter 455 Overconfident Hogback is defeated with a single punch!

Although he stitched together the bodies of all the general zombies, his strength may not necessarily surpass that of Moria.

Now, any one member of the Straw Hat crew could easily defeat Moria on their own.

Seeing this, Lei Luo sighed and then looked at Luffy, saying:

"It's up to you, Luffy."

Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately became excited and punched the air.

It didn't even engage fourth gear; it only activated second gear.

He imbued his hand with a layer of flowing Haki and instantly delivered a punch to Hogback's chest.

The powerful aura of the flowing cherry blossoms entered Hogback's body through the crack.

Hogback felt a warmth at that moment, but the next second, his entire body exploded.

All the muscles that were sewn onto his body were blown off.

Hogback flew backward and crashed into Moria.

He got pierced in the stomach by an ice spike and died on the spot.

Upon seeing this, Lola and the others cheered with joy.

The shadow on Brook had reached its limit and then left Brook's body.

Brooke's bone spurs slowly retracted into his bones.

Brook quickly returned to his original form, his body almost collapsing from exhaustion, and he fell to the ground, panting heavily.

Seeing this, Lei Luo walked straight up to Brooke, extended a hand, and said:

"Now you should be willing to join us, Brooke."

Upon hearing this, Brooke took a deep breath, then let out his signature laugh and said:

"Of course! It's my honor to have such powerful partners like you!"

"Yohohohohohohoho..."

With that, Brooke grabbed Reilly's hand and stood up.

However, the system still didn't give any prompts, so it seems that Brooke isn't really serious about getting on their ship.

Sure enough, Brooke stood up, dusted off his black suit, and then said:

"However, I'm very sorry, but I have something important to do right now."

"I'll come find you after that matter is settled."

Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately showed his displeasure and said:

"Hasn't your matter already been settled?"

"We've already defeated Moria for you, haven't we? Why is there still something wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Brooke looked up at the full moon in the sky and said with remorse:

"I'm sorry, but what I'm talking about is never about seeking revenge against Moria or finding the Shadow."

"I'm leaving this time to see a long-lost friend..."

Upon hearing that he was going to see his crewmates, Luffy's expression instantly brightened.

"I see. Your partner must be very important to you."

"If that's the case, then why don't we go together?"

Upon hearing this, Brooke immediately sheathed his sword and straightened his body.

"You must have come from the East China Sea. You've gone through so much trouble to get here from the beginning. It would be too much trouble for you to go back."

Upon hearing this, Luffy and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

Sanji was the first to react and immediately said:

"Could it be that your companion is also in the East China Sea?"

Upon hearing this, the Straw Hat crew all exclaimed in surprise.

Nami's face twisted in pain, and she looked at Brook with a serious expression.

"Both are pirates, and they're comrades in the East Blue... Ah? Could it be Arlong the fishman?!"

Upon hearing this, Brooke paused for a moment, then said in surprise:

"Huh? Ah Long?"

Upon hearing this, Nami's heart sank, and she immediately shouted:

"I really thought so?!"
