The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

Prop: [Shadow Lamp Oil].

Description: Pouring lamp oil on someone's shadow will make that person feel the same pain as the shadow.

"In other words, if you apply this oil and then attack the enemy's shadow, the real body will also feel the corresponding pain."

"Of course, we can't react to injuries, since shadows can't be injured..."

As soon as Link finished speaking, Usopp pulled out his gun, Chopper pulled out his Rumble Ball, Franky set up his Wind Cannon, Nami drew her Clima-Tact, and Robin crossed her arms. "That's enough!!"

All of them stared intently at Moria's shadow.

Hitting the shadow is much easier than hitting the real person; it's also less stressful!

"Click?"

Even Lola, who was standing next to him, drew her twin swords from her back, while the Squirrel Brothers and the others pulled out guns.

"Although we don't have enough power to fight Moria head-on, we can deal with his shadow..."

"We can totally do it!!"

The Squirrel Brothers behind her roared and immediately pulled the triggers of their guns.

Snapped! !

A bullet struck the Shadow Mage squarely between the eyebrows.

They fired the first shot, targeting the Shadow!

"it hurts!!"

Before Moria, with his enormous body, could do anything, he felt as if his brow was about to explode.

"Take this, Shadow!!"

Immediately, the pirates lurking in the surrounding dense forest saw this and charged towards the Shadow Mage with howls.

They lacked confidence facing Moria, but what about a mere shadow?

They're so daring!

"Six-flower bloom!! 743"

Robin grabbed the Shadow Mage who was trying to escape when he saw the danger.

"Take this super-strong slime bomb!!"

Immediately afterward, Usopp fired a super-powerful slime bullet, completely enveloping and binding the Shadow Mage. Losing its maximum mobility, it was then subjected to a barrage of attacks—swords, guns, clubs, and all sorts of other attacks—that rained down on it.

Then, in the next second~

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Moriah's heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the entire sky above the Thriller Bark.

The sound was so sharp and mournful that even the bear sitting at the top, turning the pages of his book, couldn't help but tremble.

He slammed the book shut, then picked up the World Government's Den Den Mushi again, pondering how to report the final outcome of the incident.

As for the result...

Moriah's cry alone is enough to explain the matter.

It seems another Shichibukai is about to fall into the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Moriah's heart-wrenching screams echoed for a full ten minutes.

Then, perhaps unable to bear the pain, she fainted.

During this time, Moria did consider countermeasures, after all, he himself felt pain from the injury to his shadow.

Anyone who isn't an idiot can tell that something's wrong.

but???

Moria wants to reclaim his shadow, but there are plenty of people who won't let him have his way.

Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, who were standing nearby, weren't going to just stand by and watch him make a move.

Allowing him to gather so many shadows and increase his power by so much was already a slight miscalculation.

They would not let Moria achieve his goal again, and they would not let go of such a good opportunity to defeat him.

As for whether it's unsportsmanlike for three people to gang up on each other...

Please, Moria absorbed the shadows of hundreds of people to deal with them, and they only had three against his main body? That's already a huge disadvantage!

Chapter 261: Moria defeated! Kuma appears! Another Shichibukai!!

Thus, with three people dealing with Moria's enormous body, Usopp and Robin holding off the Shadow Mage, while a group of people ganged up on him...

It can be said that Moria suffered an unprecedented siege!

Even when he fought Kaido, he had never been in such a miserable state as he was now.

In this situation, with no chance of turning the tide, he was completely defeated and lost consciousness.

"We actually..."

Lola and her Rolling Pirates crew, panting heavily, stared at the Shadow Mage who had lost his human form and Moria lying on the ground with his mouth agape.

"They really defeated Moria!!!"

Overjoyed, she cried tears of joy and cheered towards the sky.

"Two years! I've been trapped in this place for two years! Finally, my wish has come true today!!!"

A group of people looked down at the shadows spewed from Moria's mouth, and there they too wept and embraced.

Their shadows finally returned to their feet!

"Hahaha, this is so easy!!"

Usopp was also there, twirling the glue gun in his hand, and laughing loudly with his hands on his hips.

"I didn't expect this Shichibukai to be so weak; we took him down in just a few moves!!"

"So, is this what they call a great pirate? It's not all that impressive, is it? Hahaha!!"

His hearty laughter mainly stemmed from the period between arriving at the Thriller Bark and defeating Moria.

They didn't seem to encounter much trouble at all.

He easily dealt with his subordinates, then easily faced the mastermind behind it all, and finally easily took him down.

It couldn't be easier.

"I originally thought that being a Shichibukai would bring me more surprises..."

Zoro sheathed his three swords and looked at Moria, who had returned to normal size and was covered in blood, and couldn't help but shake his head.

To be fair, the feeling that Moria gave Zoro was not even as good as that of Ryuma, who had been dead for hundreds of years.

At least Ryoma can use Ryuo Haki!

"This guy might be the weakest of all the great pirate-level enemies we've faced since we set sail, right?"

The battle was over, and Sanji hadn't even finished his cigarette. "If all the Shichibukai are this strong, then even if we really become enemies with them, it seems like there's nothing to worry about, right?"

Sanji said this, then looked at the others, intending to elicit their agreement.

However, he noticed that Link and Luffy were both looking in a certain direction.

He was slightly taken aback: "What are you looking at, Luffy? Link?"

"Looking at a weird guy~"

Even though he had just gone through the battle, Luffy didn't seem to feel anything as he looked at the figure sitting upright on the pillar that Moria had destroyed.

"That guy looks like a bear."

"Bear?"

Those who heard Luffy speak all looked up and gazed in that direction.

"Well, Moria still fell into the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates."

After everyone fell silent, the voice of the seated figure was exceptionally clear.

"I see. That idiot is still stubbornly going his own way as always?"

The Den Den Mushi he was talking to let out a cold snort of frustration.

"We had already warned him about the dangers of the Straw Hat Pirates, but he still wouldn't listen. It wouldn't be surprising if he got defeated."

"We've finally filled one of the vacancies in the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the three major factions absolutely cannot afford any more turmoil in the near future."

"So, at such a sensitive juncture, this incident absolutely cannot be leaked. You understand what I mean?"

"learn?"

The man nodded slightly. "Keep all those who know about this incident quiet."

"Is that good?"

The Den Den Mushi nodded slightly. "Any other questions?"

"Have."

The man nodded calmly.

"Other witnesses to this incident could resolve it without any problems, but for the Straw Hat Pirates..."

He replied truthfully, "It's a bit difficult."

Den Den Mushi: "..."

After a brief silence of two seconds?

"According to circumstances."

Having given this ambiguous answer, the Den Den Mushi quickly hung up the phone.

Clearly, they didn't believe that this person was strong enough to take down the Straw Hat Pirates.

The Straw Hat crew has truly grown into a troublesome and headache-inducing group.

"Adapt to the situation..."

The person remained silent, showing great understanding, put away the Den Den Mushi, and then slowly stood up.

It wasn't very noticeable when he was sitting, but when he stood up, everyone realized...

This is a being whose size is no less than that of Moria.

"Such attire, and such a body..."

Laura's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, "Bartholomew? Big Bear!!"

She blurted out the person's name without thinking.

"A big bear? It really does look like a bear?"

Unaware of the seriousness of the problem, Luffy was still nodding seriously.

"Tyrant Bear?!"

Robin, who was standing to the side, also changed her expression slightly; she was also familiar with this title.

"Do you know Robin?"

The timid trio, including Nami, immediately asked as well.

Although they didn't know this person, they still understood what the other person meant by "shut up their mouths"!

"Yes, 'Tyrant' is his nickname. He's a great pirate with a total bounty of 296 million Berries."

Robin's tone also became slightly more serious.

"What?! A bounty of less than 300 million Berries..."

Usopp and Chopper both breathed a sigh of relief. "We thought they were some formidable opponents, but their bounties are nowhere near as high as Luffy's and Link's."

"No, 296 million is the amount he had before he became a Shichibukai."

Robin said softly.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea?! The previous amount?!"
