Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

Luffy frowned upon hearing this and said coldly.

"I was originally planning to spare your life."

"But you keep courting death!"

As Luffy spoke, his expression suddenly hardened!

"Then you should go..."

"Die!!!"

Chapter 133: A weakling, but not a coward! A man worth 3 billion Berries!

Upon hearing Luffy's words, Moria unexpectedly laughed and said...

"Hehehehehe..."

"Spare my life?!"

"Straw Hat!"

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"A true pirate has no fear of death!"

"He's just a newcomer who's just started to gain some fame, and he completely looks down on everyone else."

"You're too arrogant, Straw Hat Boy!"

Moria roared angrily at Luffy with all his might.

He said he was once a particularly famous and powerful figure, who at his peak was on par with Kaido.

Even though he lost that battle, the world's government saw his strength and invited him to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

This is enough to prove that Moria's strength and influence are by no means weak.

He also possessed the pride and self-respect of a strong person.

So when Luffy, a newcomer, said such things to him, Moria felt deeply humiliated and was completely enraged.

Moria continued in a deep voice.

"Straw Hat!"

"The only thing you're better at than me is having this group of partners who can stand on their own."

"If I had a group of powerful companions like you back then, I would have been the victor in that battle against Kaido!"

Luffy listened quietly to Moria's words.

To be honest, he believed Moria's words to some extent.

The great battle between Moria and Kaido took place a year after Roger's execution.

At that time, Garp, Sengoku, Shiki, and even Whitebeard were all still young. While they weren't all at their peak strength, they were all close to it.

Moreover, that was during the Great Pirate Era, when countless famous people flocked to the sea.

The fact that Moria was able to make a name for himself in the New World at that time and had the strength to compete with Kaido for territory is enough to prove that his strength at that time was definitely not weak.

However, Luffy also knew this.

After being defeated by Kaido's pirate crew in that great battle, Moria's mind became twisted.

He spends all his time lying in bed sleeping, researching zombies, and dreaming of becoming the Pirate King by relying on the power of others.

As a result, he has become like this, and his strength has even weakened to the point that he would be removed from the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the original story.

Luffy thought to himself, while Moria continued speaking.

"You know him, Straw Hat Boy?"

"Although you have achieved your current status thanks to these capable partners."

"But once they reach the new world, they will all lose it!"

"Do you know why?"

When Moria got to this point, his expression became distorted, a half-smile playing on his lips.

Before Luffy could answer, he continued speaking.

"I found the answer in my own experience!"

Why did I lose those famous and capable subordinates?

Moria suddenly opened his arms, went into a frenzied state, and shouted.

"Because my companions were all alive, that's why I lost them!"

"If everyone starts out as a dead zombie, then nothing will be lost!"

"Zombies are immortal!"

"Even if it gets destroyed or purified, we can just replace it with something else!"

"They are..."

"Infinite Soldiers!"

"I'm going to use this army of dead men to seize the throne of the Pirate King!"

"You should all feel fortunate that your shadows have become my subordinates!!!"

As Moria finished speaking, he looked at Luffy with a maniacal laugh.

"Straw Hat!"

I'm doing this to help you!

"Once you arrive in the new world, you'll discover..."

"Your current companions will die one by one before your eyes."

"And yet you can do nothing about it!"

"I've experienced that feeling firsthand!"

"So, Straw Hat Boy..."

"Hand over your shadows, obediently!"

"I will carry your shadows with me..."

"Become the Pirate King!!!"

Moria laughed maniacally, completely lost in madness.

Luffy looked at Moria quietly and slowly clenched his fist.

He then said in a deep voice.

"You will lose your companions not because they are alive..."

As he spoke, a black shadow appeared on Luffy's fist.

"But because..."

Crack!

A terrifying explosion suddenly rang out, and streaks of terrifying purple-black lightning shot out from Luffy's fist.

The entire island was instantly covered by purple-black lightning, and the already gloomy and dark environment now looked like hell.

Luffy's deep and resolute voice continued to ring out, reaching Moria's ears.

“You…..～．.”

"Too weak!!!"

As Luffy finished speaking, he glanced at Moria.

When Moria saw Luffy's eyes, he was instantly filled with boundless rage.

Those eyes were filled with confidence and contempt, as if they were looking at ants.

Moria still maintains the confidence and pride of his peak years, and he can't stand being seen that way by others.

Let alone Luffy, even if Kaido looked at him like that now, he would definitely choose to fight without hesitation.

This is Moriah!

I may be bad at the game, but I'm never a coward!

Seeing that Luffy had already gotten into position, Moria no longer held back and immediately unleashed all his power.

Suddenly, countless thin, snake-like shadows spread out from his body.

The shadow seemed to be able to track, extending itself to all the places where zombies existed.

The zombie generals who were still fighting with Zoro and his two companions, as well as the ordinary zombies watching from the sidelines, were all connected by this thin, snake-like shadow.

They were all completely dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

But before they could react.

Those serpentine shadows forcibly pulled the shadows off their bodies and then surged into Moria's body.

Moria's body swelled and grew larger like a balloon.

Even his face became more sinister, like a demon.

This scene filled Laura and her group with immense fear and apprehension.

They cried out in alarm.

"He's absorbing the shadows of all the zombies on the island!"

"Absorbing shadows will enhance his power. We have to stop him quickly, Straw Hat!"

"This is absolutely unbelievable! We ordinary people can only absorb two shadows at most, how many has he absorbed?"

"This is bad! He's already absorbed so many shadows; his strength will probably grow to an incredibly terrifying level. Even Straw Hat Luffy... probably can't stop him now!"

"Moria is now...invincible!"

Everyone watched this scene with utter horror.

Meanwhile, Moria had already absorbed all the shadows on the entire island.

At this moment, he had grown to be as tall as a giant, exuding an incredibly powerful aura. Just by looking at him, one could feel his immense power.

Moria, brimming with confidence, laughed loudly in a voice that sounded like a demon.

"Hehehehe..."

"You're right!"

"An ordinary person's limit is absorbing one or two shadows!"

"And as an ability user, the number of shadows I've absorbed so far is..."

"1000!!!"

Upon hearing this number, Laura and her group gasped in disbelief, their faces filled with astonishment and disbelief.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaa…”

"Impossible! This number is outrageous!"

"Absorbing just one shadow can cause a person's power to surge. He absorbed 1000. Just how powerful is he now?"

"It's over! It's all over! No one can defeat this monster!"

Moria was immensely pleased to see the fear these people had of him, and his aura surged even stronger.

He clenched his fists and let out a terrifying roar.

"Oh, oh, oh..."

As he made the sound, Moria clenched his fist and aimed at the ground beneath his feet.

Punch out.

boom!
