"You're a Mythical Beast type ability user, right? It's quite interesting that you're just holed up in this little place running a tavern!"
Moonlight Moria looked Murphy up and down as if he were some rare monster.
……
I overslept yesterday and didn't get up until this afternoon, so I haven't had time to update. I'm so sorry. I'll catch up later.
Then I'll recommend a friend's book:
Synopsis: Amamiyahara is transported to a magical girl world and awakens a system.
As long as you are generous enough and generous enough to attract magical girls, you can become a god-like figure.
Okay, okay, so this guy is incredibly wealthy, right?
In order to become a god, Amamiyahara began his own extraordinary actions.
Looking at the magical girl in front of him, who had lost the will to live due to long-term bullying and chose to fight the monster, Amamiyahara pointed her umbrella at the monster in front of her.
"I only carry a knife, not an umbrella, when it rains. An umbrella would only slow down my speed of drawing my knife."
"A powerful force descended from the heavens, its fury and ferocity palpable!"
Just when the magical girl thought she had encountered chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) and was preparing to die...
Amamiyahara's umbrella transformed into a streak of light, piercing through the strange man before him.
"No...you really know how?!"
"You're looking at me like that, so you've fallen in love with me? A coward will never win the king's favor!"
[You've been incredibly lucky to acquire a magical girl and gained the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique!]
Just as Amamiyahara finished wooing the magical girls one by one, he suddenly noticed that the way these magical girls were looking at him was getting more and more strange!
"All of Jiahao's actions were simply to encourage me (us)!"
Chapter 107 Moria, a Man of Compassion and Righteousness (4k)
In Moria's mind, anyone who looks like an animal is either a member of the Mink Tribe or a user of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit.
But Murphy doesn't look like a Mink or an ordinary animal, so he must be a Mythical Zoan type Devil Fruit user.
In the world he came from, there was a magical treasure called the Devil Fruit.
Those who eat this fruit will randomly gain an ability, and even ordinary people who were originally powerless can leap up and become powerful beings who roam the seas.
Devil Fruit abilities can be broadly categorized into three types: Paramecia, Logia, and Zoan.
In most people's minds, Logia-type Devil Fruits are the strongest. However, among the Zoan-type fruits, some extremely rare Mythical Zoan fruits that allow the user to transform into mythical creatures often possess abilities that are no less powerful than Logia-type fruits.
As it happened, Moria had been sailing at sea. Suddenly, a large door appeared in front of him.
Pushing open the door, he entered the Monster Tavern and saw Murphy, a guy who didn't seem human. In Moria's eyes, it was obvious that Murphy had used his Mythical Zoan powers to lure him here.
Men of the sea value doing as they please and settling scores with gusto. The stronger they are, the more unrestrained and reckless they become.
But Moria didn't sense any aura of power from Murphy. He really did just seem to be running a tavern.
The last time I saw such a strange person was in Wano Country...
The thought of Wano Country made Moria's face turn pale.
He still finds it hard to understand what Kozuki Oden was thinking.
However, compared to Kozuki Oden, this strange beast-wielding user didn't perform a naked dance in the street; he simply hid here and ran a small tavern, which was much more normal.
"I'm not a Mythical Zoan type ability user."
Murphy shook his head: "I am a Mefilas alien!"
"Mefilas alien, is that your Devil Fruit power?" Moria asked dismissively.
Not everyone in this world recognizes Devil Fruits. Some people from small towns, lacking knowledge, mistake the abilities of the fruits for divine miracles or demonic powers. He regarded Murphy as one of those country bumpkins from a small town.
"This appearance...could it be..."
Gintoki looked at Moria's face and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.
"Hey, manager!" Gintoki whispered to Murphy.
"He looks like Gecko Moria from the One Piece world!"
"Moonlight Moria?" Murphy vaguely remembered the name.
Gecko Moria, a great pirate from the world of One Piece.
This world is quite unique, with oceans covering a far larger area than the Earth. The entire geographical pattern of the world is determined by the intersection of two enormous transverse rings: one is the supercontinent of red earth that dominates the sea surface, and the other is the Grand Line that intersects it perpendicularly.
This intersecting cross divides the world into four major seas, each named after its geographical location.
Gecko Moria, on the other hand, was born in the West Blue.
Because of environmental factors, people all over the world admire men who sail the seas and yearn to become heroes who roam the oceans.
Gecko Moria was no exception.
But before he could make all the preparations and set sail, he was still a boy when he was accidentally stranded in Wano Country.
There, he was warmly taken in by the people of the Ringo region. Because of his displayed great power and potential, the locals bestowed upon him the name Kozuki. From then on, Moria called himself Kozuki Moria.
Later, Moria left Wano Country and became a pirate. Not long after, the world-famous Pirate King Gol D. Roger was arrested by the Navy. To deter the increasingly rampant pirates, the Navy decided to execute Roger in Loguetown in the East Blue, Roger's birthplace.
The end of One Piece attracted countless seafaring men to watch, and Moria was one of them.
As a result, Roger left behind a final message that shocked the world before his death.
"Want my treasure? You can have it all. Go find it! I've left all my treasure there."
One sentence caused countless men to fall at his feet, thus ushering in the Great Pirate Era.
No one can ignore the treasure of the Pirate King, and Moria was no exception. To this end, he founded the Moonlight Pirates, hoping to find Roger's treasure and become the next Pirate King.
Thanks to his formidable strength, Moria's bounty with the Navy reached 320 million Berries in less than a year.
At that time, the Navy's bounty amounts had not yet increased, so Moria's bounty was already quite high.
Just as Moria was full of ambition and striving for the throne of the Pirate King, he heard some news:
A former member of the Rocks Pirates, the admiral of the Beasts Pirates, and the great pirate Kaido attacked Wano Country.
Recalling the life-saving grace from years ago, Moria, originally from the West Blue, did not hesitate for a moment, abandoning his original goal and setting off at full speed towards Wano Country.
A man of the sea must repay kindness—this was Moriah's principle.
And none of Moria's men objected. Instead, they cheered and followed their captain, ready to fight another great pirate for a country completely unrelated to them.
In the Ringo region, Moria led the Moonlight Pirates in a major battle against Kaido and the Beasts Pirates.
As a result, all of Moriah's men were killed in battle, and he himself escaped with his life.
Moria's strength is not weak.
As a user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, he was at the peak of his confidence and strength at that time. Although there was still a gap, he was still able to have a head-on confrontation with Kaido, who possessed the top-tier Devil Fruit—the Mythical Zoan type Azure Dragon form of the Fish-Fish Fruit—and was proficient in all three types of Haki.
If, at that time, the true master of Wano Country, the son of the former Shogun, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and a member of Gol D. Roger's crew, Kozuki Oden, had led his retainers to help, they might have been able to win.
But for some reason, Kozuki Oden simply danced naked in the street.
Moria didn't quite understand, nor did he want to understand, Kozuki Oden's thoughts.
If Kozuki Oden won't save Wano Country, then let him do it!
That's right. Although he suffered a crushing defeat, Moria did not give up.
Whether for his former comrades or for the people of Wano Country, he had to defeat Kaido.
For this reason, he stole the remains of deceased heroes of Wano Country, such as Shimotsuki Ryoma, and also took Wano Country's national treasure, the famous sword Shusui.
Although it was a blasphemous act, it was a necessary measure in order to defeat Kaido.
Not only that, Moria was also greatly affected by the deaths of all his companions.
Because we live, we lose.
In order to avoid losing them again, he resolved to use his abilities to combine corpses and create a zombie army. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about them, who were already dead, being killed.
Filled with guilt for failing to save the people of Wano Country and for desecrating the remains of the country's heroes, Moria stopped calling himself Kozuki and instead reversed the name, calling himself Gecko Moria.
The people of Wano Country were unaware of these events and believed that Moria had sacrificed himself to save Wano Country.
With heavy hearts, they built a cenotaph for Kozuki Moria.
Many years have passed since then.
Moria has been using his abilities to collect powerful corpses and shadows. His purpose is to inject the shadows into the corpses, creating powerful zombies that are immune to death.
The shadows were easy to deal with, but most of the corpses he collected were badly mutilated and would be difficult to use without processing.
As it happens, in Moria's hometown, in the Western Sea, there is a doctor with superb medical skills—Hokbaghu.
Moria had set out on this trip specifically to recruit him. However, he ended up opening the tavern door on the way and arriving here.
"Hehehehehe!"
Moria let out his signature grotesque laugh.
"It seems you've heard of me before?"
Moria wasn't surprised by this.
In this world, Morgans's news ship flies everywhere except in the Calm Belt. This is how he spread the Navy's bounty notices throughout the world. Therefore, it's quite normal that people in small towns might not know about Devil Fruits but know about this great pirate.
Murphy nodded.
Actually, among the Weekly Shonen Jump magazines that Gintoki brought, besides Naruto, One Piece was also serialized. It's just that Murphy has been busy with research lately and hasn't been paying much attention. He only remembers him now because of his memories from before he transmigrated.
However, at that time he had only seen the Marineford War. The subsequent plot was only mentioned in rumors, so in his impression, Moria was just a lazy, fat man with no outstanding features and mediocre strength.
But the Moria who appeared before him now, although he looked depressed, still exuded the aura of a great pirate, both in terms of his demeanor and his physique.
"Hehehehehe!"
Moriah chuckled and walked into the house.
"Knowing my reputation and not being afraid at all, you're quite something!"
As he spoke, he found a table nearby. But when he tried to sit down, he couldn't help but frown.
"Hey, these chairs are way too small!" Moria complained, finding the tavern owner completely unprofessional. These chairs were barely big enough for dwarfs!
Murphy was speechless. He had actually designed it specifically. Any monsters or aliens that were too large would shrink to the size of a normal person. But Moria was somewhere between a normal person and a monster. It was like exploiting a bug.
Upon hearing this, Gintoki quietly placed his hand on Lake Toya at his waist.
He quite liked some of the pirates in the comics. But it was a different story when he actually encountered them in real life.
These guys are all lawless. They'll start a fight at the slightest provocation.
While the shop manager, given his strength and status, wouldn't consider a mere pirate a threat, it wouldn't be right for him to have eaten for free for half a month and then do nothing when trouble arose. Besides, if he acted more proactively, the shop manager might be in a good mood and treat him to monster cuisine!
Recalling the delicious taste he had enjoyed when the Third Hokage treated him to a meal last time, Gintoki couldn't help but lick his lips.
Moria glanced at Gintoki out of the corner of his eye, then shoved the chair in front of him aside and sat cross-legged on the floor.
"Give me the finest wine and the best meat! I'm starving!"
Moria tapped the table lightly, urging them on.
Despite being a notorious and reckless pirate, Moria had no intention of making a move here.
Don't be fooled by his willingness to travel thousands of miles to save Wano Country out of gratitude. Beyond that, he's a true-blue pirate—greedy and belligerent. While not exactly bloodthirsty, he routinely plunders for treasure.
However, this is a tavern. Generally speaking, pirates wouldn't bother with taverns that cater to pirates. After all, if they did, who would want to serve them in the future?
Moriah always placed great importance on morality.
"I understand, please wait a moment!"
Murphy glanced at the pair of small horns on Moria's forehead, nodded, and went back to the kitchen.
Gintoki quietly removed his hand from Lake Toya. Just as he was about to continue eating his sweets, Murphy's voice came from nearby.
"Ah Yin, go get the wine and hot towels!"
