Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

With a thought, Kyle unleashed a torrent of violent purple lightning from his body, accompanied by countless surging lightning snakes.

The Shadow Bat was blasted into countless black shadows the moment it touched the Thunder Serpent.

After dealing with the shadow bats, Kyle paused for a moment.

Moria had already reached above him, his greatsword raised high, shrouded in Armament Haki, a grin spreading across his face.

"I've finally got my chance!!"

Moria's pupils gleamed with excitement and agitation; all his previous tactics had merely been feints.

The goal was to get close to Kyle quickly without his knowledge.

Kyle's offensive power is indeed very strong, he admits, but everyone has weaknesses, right?

Thunder is synonymous with ultimate offensive power, but its defensive capabilities...

hehe!!

Given the distance between him and Kyle, he was confident that Kyle would have a hard time blocking his attack in such a rush. He would injure Kyle with his first strike and then press his advantage!

With one burst of energy, they directly forced Kyle into a series of defeats!

The victory is assured!

Moria seemed to have foreseen what was about to happen, his excitement intensifying as he increased the force in his hand, slashing his blade down fiercely at Kyle!

However, at that moment, he noticed that Kyle's lips curled up slightly in a smile.

A sudden chill ran through me; I had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"Thunder Scale!"

With a single swing of his blade, Kyle unleashed a burst of purple lightning, forming a series of inverted, dragon-scale-like barriers of lightning around him.

Moria slashed his sword hard at the dragon scale barrier, but the barrier did not shatter. Instead, it triggered a violent thunderstorm counterattack.

Moria: !!!

The next moment, Moria, the soul dancer, broke through the limits of humanity and performed a beautiful dance in mid-air.

But Kyle intended to let him complete the jump this time, kicking Moria straight into the air.

He bent his knees slightly and spoke softly again.

"Flash of Light!!"

The moment he finished speaking, Kyle transformed into purple lightning and vanished.

It flickered continuously in mid-air, creating countless purple afterimages.

At a certain moment, countless purple afterimages launched instant slashes from different angles simultaneously. Each afterimage rushed towards Moria at an extremely fast speed, and each afterimage was a real killing move.

In an instant, countless flashes of purple light pierced through Moria's body.

Wounds appeared on his body, bursting open with several streaks of blood!

After the attack, Moria's body quickly reverted to its original fat form and plummeted from the sky.

It finally hit the ground with a dull thud.

Lightning flashed and coalesced in front of Moria, forming the image of Kyle, who gazed indifferently at Moria, who lay on the ground with his eyes rolled back.

This time he was certain that Moria had completely lost consciousness and there was no possibility of him going into a second form.

After a long pause, he said softly:

"You seem to have missed the mark!"

He had been wondering what Moria was up to, but it turned out he was holding back a huge thing.

The two moves he just used were both techniques from the Purple Thunder Seven Strike.

The second skill, Thunder Scale, is a defensive counterattack. The resulting reverse-curving dragon scale barrier can deflect and shatter ranged attacks, while any object that touches the thunder scale will trigger a violent thunderstorm counterattack, making it both offensive and defensive.

The Third Strike - Instant Light: A super-fast combo that creates countless afterimages that attack the enemy simultaneously from different angles, making it impossible to defend against!

Although Moria, after his power surge, didn't pose any real threat to him, he was still much better than the fat guy from before!

This makes his trip somewhat worthwhile!

"Alright, the mission is almost over. Next, we need to catch that fishing net monster, Hogback, and we'll be done!!"

With this in mind, Kyle immediately unleashed his Observation Haki, disappearing from the spot a second later...

-

"Ace, are you out of your mind? What are you doing, fidgeting like that? You scared away the fish I was trying to catch!"

"Hey! Don't make baseless accusations! You're blaming me for your own skill problems!"

"Practice makes perfect, instead of just blaming others and complaining all day long!"

"What did you say?!"

Luffy glared at Ace, and Ace naturally glared back without backing down.

Their gazes met in mid-air, as if sparks were about to fly.

On the other side, Zoro leaned against the ship's railing, fast asleep with his sword in his arms, and an empty sake bottle beside him.

Kuina was in the ship's restaurant, where Sanji was preparing a meal for her.

Sabo, on the other hand, followed Kyle's example and placed a deck chair next to Kyle, lying comfortably on it like Kyle, wearing sunglasses and enjoying the beautiful sunshine.

Ah! This is the status of the second brother!

A group of underlings could only submit to him in the end!

For some reason, when Sabo lay down next to Kyle and enjoyed the same treatment as Kyle, he inexplicably felt that his own status had risen.

A strange sense of superiority welled up inside me!

Having just gone through a fierce battle, everyone was now enjoying this period of relaxation.

Compared to the pleasant lives of everyone else, the situation for Moria and his companions on the other side of the deck was clearly not so wonderful.

All four of them were handcuffed with sea stone. Although Hogback wasn't a Devil Fruit user, he treated them all the same, otherwise he'd accuse Kyle of favoritism!

They were also surrounded by purple lightning chains, which posed no threat if they did not move or moved only slightly.

But if the movements are a bit large, then you'll really suffer!

A thunder shower isn't something just anyone can do.

Absalom glanced at Kyle, who lay seemingly motionless on the recliner, then turned slightly toward Moria and asked in an extremely low voice:

"Lord Moriah, what should we do now?!"

"If I knew what to do, would I be handcuffed here?"

Moria glared at him and spoke irritably.

He also wanted to ask what to do now?

The memory of being defeated by Kyle was still fresh in his mind, and he knew very well that it was almost impossible for him and his men to escape under Kyle's nose.

Thinking of this, Moria couldn't help but sigh slightly.

His defeat had far more serious consequences than most.

Not only were all the zombies on the Thriller Bark cleansed, but all four of them were also captured and wiped out.

Even at this point, Moria still wanted to try.

Of course, it wasn't for his own sake, but for the sake of his subordinates.

With this in mind, Moria immediately shouted loudly towards Kyle in the distance:

"Hey! Kid!!"

"I have something I'd like to discuss with you!"

The moment Moria finished speaking, the purple lightning chains on his body suddenly emitted a dazzling purple light.

Seeing this, Absalom and the other two instinctively shifted their positions, moving a distance away from Moria.

During this process, they were not struck by lightning.

There's no way around it, it's just that my butt is familiar with it!

After moving around a lot, they will naturally know the approximate limit of each movement, and they just need to keep the movement within that range each time!

As for Moria...

Sizzle!

"ah!!!!"
