Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Moria was already a total couch potato, is he going to be completely ruined now?

To be honest.

Knowing some of Gecko Moria's actions in the original story, Rocks wanted to recruit him.

He was a loyal and chivalrous hero of the sea, only he was crippled by Kaido...

"Let's find their stronghold first; perhaps the person we're looking for is inside..."

The conflict between Moria and Kaido could very well become the opportunity for Brook to reclaim his shadow.

Therefore, going to Moriah's lair, Thriller Bark, is the right thing to do.

"Leave this matter to me."

Yixiao volunteered to take on the task of finding ships and islands.

Observation Haki combined with gravity waves can sense "gravity sources" with an extremely wide range of perception.

It was through this that he sensed meteorites in the cosmos.

Although it's not very precise, it's very useful for finding things!

"Then please."

Knowing that Issho's Observation Haki range was wider than his own, Rocks entrusted the matter to Issho.

However, the Devil's Triangle area is extremely vast, and it may not be possible to find it in a short time.

Rocks is prepared for a "protracted war".

They purchased a large amount of supplies on the previous island.

It's enough to support a month's worth of consumption.

After all, he had accepted Crocus's request and needed to find Brook's whereabouts and inform him of the situation...

then……

Having entered the misty area less than half a day ago, Yixiao found Moria's lair.

He said, "In this Devil's Triangle, the only ship with such a large scale should be Gecko Moria's, right?"

A ship comparable in size to an island was sensed by Yixiao.

The Devil's Triangle is considered Gecko Moria's territory.

Without a doubt, this ship, which is comparable to a small island, can only belong to Gecko Moria.

"Found it so quickly? This place is near the entrance to the Bermuda Triangle, right?"

Lox felt that all his preparations had been in vain.

However, finding the target faster was certainly a good thing, so I didn't think too much about it: "Let's go, let's climb up and take a look first."

The Black Demon sailed toward the location of the Thriller Bark.

Only when you get closer can you truly appreciate the sheer size of this ship; it looks like it was converted from a small island.

From here, you can also see the outlines of the castle and town.

Although the town looked somewhat dilapidated, as if it had been destroyed in a major battle...

Robin saw the castle, half-collapsed but clearly under repair, and looked on with curiosity: "A ghost castle?"

"There is a certain style to this place that looks rather eerie..."

She seemed quite interested in these gloomy and terrifying things.

Could it be a characteristic of a scheming woman?

Nami swallowed hard, feeling uneasy as she looked at the eerie scene. "How could anyone have turned the ship into such a grotesque mess?"

"That Shichibukai Gecko Moria must be a creepy guy, right?"

"Although he's a total couch potato, he's actually quite a maritime hero."

Rocks also looked in that direction, his Observation Haki already radiating outwards, sensing quite a few auras: "Oh? Good luck, so it really is on this ship."

The user's Observation Haki locked onto a person exuding a "cold" aura, and "saw" an afro-haired skull.

It wasn't someone else, it was Brooke.

The other party is currently aboard the Thriller Bark!

"Heroes of the sea?"

Nami rarely heard Rocks praise anyone, and asked curiously, "You mean Gecko Moria?"

Rocks didn't hold back in praising Moria: "A man who dares to wield his sword against a Yonko for the sake of his homeland naturally deserves to be called a hero of the sea!"

One is Kozuki Oden, and the other is Moonlight Moria. Not only are their surnames reversed, but their ways of doing things are also reversed.

Perhaps it's Oda's dark humor?

In short, aside from his penchant for stealing other people's shadows, Moria really doesn't have many flaws.

Compared to many people in this world, this person is definitely a "good person"...

Moreover, they are very loyal and devoted to their friends.

He once dared to wield his sword against Kaido for the sake of his hometown, and went to Beehive Island alone for the sake of his subordinates.

This kind of man is worth winning over.

This is actually one of the reasons why Rocks went to the Devil's Triangle.

He wants to recruit Moonlight Moria!

"I have heard of it. Many years ago, Gecko Moria fought a great battle with Kaido in Wano Country..."

Ichisho also knew some of Gecko Moria's deeds.

Even Moria's rise to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was partly due to his battle with Kaido...

Although Moria was defeated, his ability to fight Kaido is enough to demonstrate the latter's strength.

Kuina, having a better understanding of Lox's personality, guessed some of his thoughts: "You want to recruit him to join us?"

"That's the idea."

Lockes didn't hide anything: "He's loyal and righteous, and quite capable. This kind of person is worth recruiting. In any case, let's go and talk to him first."

Ideas are just ideas.

Whether the other party agrees or not is also a question.

If it's about forcibly taking it... forget it.

The other party wasn't a great beauty, and Lox didn't want to be branded as a "fat otaku" forcibly abducted.

It sounds awful...

I can only hope that my verbal skills will work.

Having taken another brutal hit from Kaido, Moria must be burning with rage if he wasn't crippled.

They definitely want revenge.

Rocks and Kaido also had some history of conflict...

They share a common goal, so maybe they can trick each other into joining the ship?

After making up my mind.

The Black Demon sailed toward the Thriller Bark.

With Yixiao's ability, the Black Demon sailed over the "wall" of the Thriller Bark and headed towards the shore.

"Horo horo horo~ horo horo~~"

Just as they entered the enclosure and were about to dock at the shore, a clear, melodious, and crisp laugh reached the ears of Lockes and his companions...

"Did...did you hear laughter...?"

The atmosphere here was already somewhat eerie, and the ethereal, melodious, and crisp eerie laughter made Nami's heart tighten.

They moved a little closer to Lockes.

It was as if only being near Rocks could give her a sense of security...

Robin, on the other hand, remained calm, even showing a hint of interest in his eyes, and chuckled, "Oh dear, it seems they've come to greet us 'guests'."

*Sizzle!*

Kuina was even more decisive.

It's unclear what she saw, but she drew the Wado Ichimonji from her waist and unleashed a flying slash in a certain direction.

The slash landed in one spot, but missed its target.

It landed on the sea to the left, carving out a trench...

"Horo horo horo~~"

A clear, melodious, and crisp laugh rang out once again.

Then from the seabed...yes, the seabed...

A ghostly girl dressed in gothic clothing, with long pink hair tied in pigtails, and holding a pink parasol, slowly floated up...

The laughter came from her mouth: "Horo horo horo~~"

Upon witnessing this eerie scene, Nami screamed in terror, practically clinging to Rocks: "Aaaaaah, there really is a ghost!!"

Locus: "..."

Is it necessary to be so afraid?

Even though she's a gothic ghost girl, isn't she kind of cute?

And as mentioned earlier, the ghost girl is just a ghost who ate the Ghost-Ghost Fruit...

"I'm quite surprised that my prey actually came to me on its own initiative, hehehe~~"

"We happen to be in dire need of supplies lately, and your ship seems to have quite a few good things~~"

This pink-haired girl with twin tails is none other than Perona, one of Moria's "Three Eccentrics".
