Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

His eyes narrowed involuntarily, revealing a playful smile: "Hehehe, kid, do you know what you're saying?!"

"Someone who's never even set foot in the New World dares to expect me to submit to him?"

"That's the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life!"

I wondered what the other person was here for.

Was it really to recruit him?

What a ridiculous statement!

Why would he give up his position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to become a subordinate of a brat?

The other party isn't qualified!

"It's not about surrendering, but about becoming my partner, becoming a partner of my Blackwing Demon Adventurer's Guild."

Rocks said, "You want to kill Kaido, right? And I also have some grudges against Kaido, so I will inevitably be his enemy when I go to the New World."

“We share a common goal, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Join us, Moriah!”

"Does he also have a grudge against Kaido? I haven't seen any related reports in the newspapers..."

Moria grinned, revealing sharp teeth and fangs, and sneered, "That is indeed a good suggestion, but you are not qualified, Blackwing Great Demon!"

"Since you've brought this up, I also have a suggestion..."

After a pause, Moria stared at everyone in the Blackwing Demon Adventurer Group.

His smile grew even more playful: "Become my subordinate, Blackwing Great Demon, and I may forgive you for trespassing on my territory!"

He would get revenge on Kaido sooner or later.

Therefore, the stronger the subordinates, the better.

The Blackwing Demon Pirates...aren't they some excellent candidates?

Locus: "..."

Good grief, they've turned the tables and gotten recruited by the other side!

Lox cracked his neck and grinned, "Since neither of us can convince the other, let's settle this with our skills."

"Whoever wins, we'll listen to them. On this ocean, whoever has the bigger fist is right!"

"Hehehe, you're not that old, but you know quite a lot about this ocean!"

Moria opened his short arms.

His smile grew even more ferocious, and his voice became shrill: "But I refuse. I've already said... you're not qualified to make demands in front of me, Blackwing Demon!"

'Swish, swish, swish...'

As they spoke, figures approached, all of them strangely shaped zombies.

Moria's zombie army gathered at this moment and stood behind Moria.

There were quite a few of them, a dark mass, quite oppressive!

'boom!!'

To this, Rocks simply glared at him.

The Conqueror's Haki burst forth and erupted in that instant, enveloping all the zombies in front of him.

Under the intimidating aura of Conqueror's Haki, nearly 90% of the zombies collapsed and could not get up.

Although zombies are inanimate objects, they are driven by their shadows.

Yet, they are no different from ordinary people, and can be intimidated by Conqueror's Haki...

Rocks's mere outburst of Conqueror's Haki caused more than 90% of the zombies to lose their fighting ability.

Only a few zombies with decent strength were able to stand.

These zombies contain the shadows of powerful individuals...

"Oh ho ho ho, so this is the air of someone superior?"

Brooke couldn't help but adjust his top hat, exclaiming in surprise, "And with this level of strength, it seems Mr. Rocks is quite the formidable expert..."

Lola, being a worldly woman, naturally knew what this power was: "So, just like Mom and Katakuri, he possesses Conqueror's Haki?"

"So weak!"

Because the Conqueror's Haki wasn't directed in this direction, Nami was unharmed.

Looking at the zombie lying motionless on the ground, she commented, "They looked so scary, but they're just trash!"

The rest of the Blackwing Demon Adventurer Group remained calm; against Lox, numbers were indeed of little use…

"Quantity has no effect on me!"

After taking down more than 90% of the zombies, Rocks smirked at Moria: "You're not planning to use these zombies to cause trouble for Kaido, are you?"

"No, it won't work, it's too weak!"

"Conqueror's Haki..."

Moria's face darkened further as he looked at the zombies lying on the ground.

This situation is exactly the same as when Kaido invaded before.

The Black Winged Demon also possesses Conqueror's Haki.

And its strength is not weak, not even weaker than that damned Kaido!

"A mere brat possesses such a level of Conqueror's Haki? I underestimated you, Blackwing Demon..."

Moria narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "But you will still be defeated here today, becoming the power for my revenge against Kaido!"

"Scattered bats!"

Moria made his move.

The shadow beneath my feet began to split, transforming into jet-black bats with sharp teeth.

The bat flapped its wings and flew towards Rocks' location, as if it wanted to tear Rocks apart and devour him!

'boom!'

Rocks simply raised his fist and slammed it down.

The explosive force of the punch spread and swept across, blasting all the attacking shadow bats into ink-like fragments that splattered everywhere...

The force of the punch continued unabated, crushing Moria and the other zombies...

"Shadow Box·Yu!"

Moria stretched out his right hand, and the dark shadow instantly contracted, turning into a black curtain in front of him.

Like a shield formed by shadows, it blocked the force of the punch!

'Boom!'

The spreading force of the fist struck the shadow curtain, creating a loud boom. The surrounding earth trembled slightly at that moment, and dust billowed up...

"Shadow Spear!!"

Amidst the smoke and dust, the pitch-black curtain began to writhe wildly.

Then a shadow resembling a sharp blade charged forward, its shape changing midway, transforming into a shadow spear resembling an arrowhead, piercing through the smoke and dust and heading straight for Rocks!

'Snapped! '

Rocks reached out with his left hand, covered in Armament Haki, and steadily caught the incoming Shadow Spear.

Then, with his right hand, he drew the Seven Star Sword from his waist and casually slashed down, splitting the Shadow Spear in two...

"Hehehehe, die!"

Moria's shrill voice rang out.

Under his power, the severed Shadow Spear changed shape again, like an open curtain, trying to swallow Rocks!

*Sizzle!*

With a flick of the Seven Star Sword, the shadow curtain was sliced ​​open.

But then a pitch-black shadow, identical in size to Moria, hurtled towards them at lightning speed.

Shadow Mage!

The Shadow Mage's right hand, like a beast's claw, reached for Lox, and a soft tearing sound echoed through the air...

'boom!!'

Then he was blasted away by a single punch from Rocks.

The shadow shattered and exploded in mid-air.

It transformed into an ink-like shadow, splashing around and staining a large area black...

"Hehehe, it's useless. Even an attack enhanced with Armament Haki can't harm a Shadow Mage..."

Moria sneered and clenched his right fist.

The "ink spots" that had shattered and blackened a large area re-formed the figure of the Shadow Mage under his control.

Shadows are not afraid of attacks and cannot be destroyed.

Armament Haki was ineffective, since it was just a shadow...

Moria waved his hand, ordering the zombies to move out of their way: "Go, you little minions, wipe them all out!"

Rocks then addressed his companions, saying, "I'll handle this guy; you guys deal with the rest."

'Wow!'

As soon as he finished speaking, Rocks unleashed his Whirlwind.

He appeared beside Moria as if by teleportation.

Then he punched Moria in the stomach, sending him flying backward, coughing up blood...

Then Rocks pushed off again, chasing after Moria who was flying backwards...
