Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

It's too easy to be affected.

The nearby zombies felt an instinctive fear; they would rather bury themselves in the ground than face such power!

"Oz, stop daydreaming! Quickly take care of this straw hat kid!"

Moria watched Luffy's ever-increasing, seemingly limitless momentum through the control panel, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, his ominous premonition growing stronger.

His confidence in Oz began to waver, and he even recalled the bear's earlier warnings.

Perhaps Aokiji really wasn't holding back?

So just how strong has this Straw Hat Boy become after absorbing a hundred of his shadows?

"oh oh!"

Although Oars was puzzled, his orders to Moria were absolute. He swung the remaining half of the stone pillar and smashed it down on Luffy with all his might.

Just then, Luffy opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light. He shouted loudly and swung down the giant sword, which had been charged up to its maximum power:

Fifth Gear! Rubber Spiral - Sword Dance!

hum!

As Luffy swung his sword, an enormous sword aura containing countless fine spiral sword energies unleashed a terrifying slash, like a destructive tornado, heading straight for Oars with unstoppable force.

Tearing through the sky!

Cut through the thick fog!

The stone pillar that Oz hurled was pulverized into dust the instant it made contact with the stone, as if it were made of paper.

Immediately afterwards, the destructive spiral sword energy engulfed Oz's massive body without any obstruction.

A massive explosion that occurred without any collision.

At this moment, only the hissing sound of high-speed cutting and annihilation remained in the very center.

Oz's massive body was thrown into a meat grinder by the spiraling sword energy, instantly disintegrated and torn into countless fragments.

Even massive bones were obliterated by the sword energy.

The sword energy continued its momentum, clearing everything within the tens of meters between Luffy and Oars!

A deep trench was ploughed into the ground, and all obstacles, whether buildings, rocks, or unfortunate zombies caught in it, disappeared!

Oz's enormous body completely collapsed and disintegrated, leaving only some lingering dust.

From a distance, Lola and the others watched this scene, which resembled divine punishment, their mouths agape, unable to close them for a long time.

They knew Luffy would be strong, but they didn't expect him to be this strong!

That mountain-sized giant was actually defeated in a single move?!

"Was that sword technique invented in conjunction with the Gum-Gum Fruit?"

Zoro's face was full of enthusiasm, his eyes burning with a desire for the ultimate swordsmanship. "Combining the power of rotation with a slash to produce such terrifying destructive force, Luffy is too imaginative. We can learn from him!"

"Amazing!"

Luffy is amazing!

Chopper and Usopp snapped out of their daze, excitedly hugging each other, jumping and shouting, the oppressive feeling from being besieged by the zombie general completely gone.

The remaining zombies were already trembling with fear, wishing they could dig a hole and crawl into it.

In the distance, the castle's main mast was teetering precariously from the impact, as if it might collapse at any moment.

Looking at the devastated battlefield, which looked as if it had been ravaged by a natural disaster, Nami muttered to herself, "Is Luffy going to destroy the entire ship?"

This is no ordinary sailboat; it's a ship as huge as an island.

Sinking an island with a single blow—is this their captain?

Vivi gazed at the spot where Oz had disappeared, still shaken: "What about Moria? Did he go down with him?"

Robin pondered, "Under such an attack, I'm afraid the odds are against us."

However, just when everyone thought the battle was over, a rustling sound suddenly came from the ruins that Oz had turned into, along with Moria's furious scream.

"You wretched straw hat brat! How dare you destroy my precious Oz!"

"Scattered bats!"

A sharp, eerie sound rang out from beneath the ruins.

Moria's onion-shaped hairstyle was partially visible.

He was lucky to survive Luffy's devastating spiral sword dance, but he clearly paid a heavy price.

The water-like shadow split into small balls in the air, transforming into tiny bat shadows that rushed towards Luffy, densely covering his body and surrounding him.

With a snap.

Luffy flicked his hand, and the swarm of bats suddenly exploded.

It spread around like ink.

The onion-shaped head swayed from side to side, and a huge hand emerged from the ruins, sweeping away the rubble of the bed to reveal an extremely tall figure.

Moria's enormous figure crawled out rather disheveled. He looked covered in dust and blood, but he was in much better shape than Oz, who was dead beyond recognition.

At the last moment before Oz's body collapsed, the Shadow Mage's abilities still allowed him to escape death.

Moria's eyes widened, bloodshot veins visible in them, as he stared intently at Luffy.

He's furious now!

The zombie giant, which had been plotting for so many years, was actually cut down by Luffy with a single sword strike.

what is this?

All his years of hard work vanished overnight!

At this moment, Moria began to understand Crocodile's feelings.

Bang!

Luffy landed from mid-air, still quite surprised to see Moria.

As expected of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Their ability to survive is top-notch.

Moria stared intently at Luffy, who was surrounded by white flames and dark blue-green shadows, his anger blazing. "Straw Hat Boy, you bastard! You've ruined all my years of preparation! That was my method to become the Pirate King!"

Luffy couldn't help but retort, "A giant trying to become the Pirate King? Are you still asleep?"

"..." Moria choked.

He could refute others, but Luffy cut Oars to pieces, what could he say?

Moria was in a sorry state and had just stood up.

However, he had just struggled to his feet and hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath when everything went blurry!

Chapter 269 Taking a Gamble

Luffy's figure appeared in front of Moria as if by teleportation. His foot, covered in dark blue shadow and white flames, kicked Moria's devilish face with unparalleled power!

His body was sent flying again.

Pfft!

Moria was struck hard, and his entire face was twisted and deformed.

Its massive body crashed violently into the ruins further away, kicking up clouds of dust.

Luffy landed lightly and patted off non-existent dust from his trousers.

"I thought you Seven Warlords of the Sea would be stronger, but it seems you're nothing special." Luffy looked disappointed.

"Damn it!" Moria growled from beneath the ruins.

"Scattered bats!"

The ruins exploded, and Moria's figure rose again, letting out a sharp, eerie scream.

The suspended black shadow water sphere split open and transformed into countless small bat shadows, like a black tide, densely covering Luffy and instantly enveloping him into a writhing black sphere!

"It's not over yet!"

"You're really tough, but that punch made you feel it, didn't it?" Luffy said, his whole body trembling, and his shadow turning into ink.

A vein bulged on Moria's forehead. "You're talking about domineering aura, aren't you?"

And it exudes such powerful and domineering aura.

Luffy grinned at Moria, "Now that you know, why don't you return all your shadows?"

A vein bulged on Moria's forehead as he shouted, "As expected of someone who fought Aokiji, your Haki is incredibly strong! But you want my shadow? Impossible!"

"I see."

Luffy grinned, "But nothing is impossible. Defeating your shadows will allow me to return to my own."

Moria sneered, "Hehehehe, what an arrogant fellow! Does he really think he's invincible just because he has Haki? Haki is nothing compared to Devil Fruit abilities!"

A darker shadow inexplicably appeared beneath Moria's feet, like a viscous black liquid, rising from the floor and coalescing into a huge, writhing black shadow that quickly solidified into Moria's shape.

Shadow Mage!

The shadow was much faster than Moria; it was a nimble fat man who, upon approaching Luffy, was about to press his sharp claws onto Luffy's head.

Bang!

Luffy threw a punch, instantly blasting the shadow away.

Luffy's strength is immense now, and the presence of so many shadows has somewhat affected his personality, making him extremely arrogant. He glanced sideways at the shadow and said, "Is that all the strength you have?"

In this state, entering the second-level plus mode, domineering red and black stripes appear on the bluish-green skin.

With the long sword slung behind his back, he stretched out one hand and struck at the shadow, unleashing a terrifying gust of wind that blasted a hole through it with a deafening boom.
