One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"Ho...ho..."

Behind me, I heard heavy breathing.

Luo Xia's smile faded, and he slowly turned around.

On the sand, Moria struggled to his feet, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, his vision blurred.

He was panting heavily as he looked around, taking in the battle situation on the battlefield.

Not far away, Oz's more than 60-meter-tall body lay on the ground, like a small mountain.

There was nothing on his neck; he was headless.

In the distance, Longma's corpse was neatly split in two and scattered on the ground.

The ground was littered with corpses, including zombie soldiers and the two armies of the Flower Kingdom.

Looking around, the vast battlefield was completely devoid of the hustle and bustle of their arrival, leaving only him standing there.

The navy, along with the royal guards of Alabasta, are besieging the few remaining warriors of the Flower Kingdom.

The tide is gone.

The strength of these naval forces exceeded Moria's expectations.

Especially the one that discharges electricity, and this one in front of us.

Rorschach stepped forward and stopped a dozen meters away from Moria. He looked indifferently at Moria, whose eyes were bloodshot, and said calmly, "Surrender, Moria. If you insist on resisting, I suggest you think about Crocodile's fate."

Upon hearing this, Moria's gloomy face twitched as he glanced at Crocodile's corpse nailed to the distant city wall.

His mouth gaped open, revealing a mouthful of jagged fangs, and his shoulders shrugged as he let out a maniacal laugh.

"Cough hee hee hee, cough hee hee hee hee!"

"For a true pirate, death is no threat at all!"

"Navy Rorschach, I admit your strength is indeed monstrous."

Moria spread his arms wide, opened his chest, and laughed loudly, "Hehehe! You also have a group of decent subordinates, but in the end... you'll still lose everything! Do you know why? My experience tells me why I lost those famous and capable subordinates? It's because they were alive that I lost them! If everyone had been zombies from the beginning, I wouldn't have lost them!"

"Shadow! Gathering Place!"

With Moria's shrill scream, the shadow beneath his feet rose, detached from his body, and flashed into the surrounding darkness, extending in all directions, branching out into countless tiny black lines that instantly connected to the kneeling, surrendering zombie soldiers, to the wounded and unable-to-give-up Happo Navy and Shippo Navy, and even further away, to the shadows beneath the fleeing people, and even the navy and the Kingdom Guard.

Under the dark sky, two enormous, blood-red eyes faintly appeared.

On the vast desert land, the zombie soldiers connected by black lines fell to the ground one by one with thuds. The shadows on their bodies then surged out rapidly and flowed into Moria's body along the black lines.

Meanwhile, the shadows of the surviving Flower Kingdom warriors, some naval soldiers, and a large number of Kingdom Guards were pulled up and stretched out beneath their feet when black lines surged and formed shadow scissors, slicing their shadows off one by one, just like those zombie soldiers, and continuously sending them toward Moria.

The moment the shadow was cut off, its owner rolled his eyes and collapsed like a log.

Thousands of warriors from the Flower Kingdom were all struck and fell like wheat being harvested.

Of the two hundred naval soldiers, apart from a few dozen who were relatively close to Enel, they all quickly and cleanly passed out.

The thousands of royal guards led by Bell and Gakka were no exception; along with the two Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, they all collapsed to the ground, their shadows harvested.

In just a moment, less than a hundred people were left standing on the vast desert.

This horrific sight filled those who hadn't been infected with the virus with horror.

On the city wall, Cobra felt a chill run through him as he looked at the thousands of royal guards who had fallen to the ground in an instant, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Even Bell and Jakka... are you kidding me? Gecko Moria, is he really that terrifying?"

"Brother Rorschach! Are Bepo and the others... alright?" Hibari called out worriedly.

"It's alright, he's just temporarily unconscious, don't worry. It's nighttime now, the sun hasn't come out yet, so even if he loses his shadow, it won't be a problem. As long as we defeat the shadow's master, we can release the shadows that he absorbed."

Rorschach watched Moria's body swell like an inflating balloon and shook his head slightly. "I doubt we'll even need to lift a finger; his body will collapse on its own. Excessive anger has made him lose his mind, causing him to use a power he can't control."

Ahead, Moria let out a chilling roar from his gaping maw.

Originally seven meters tall, his bloated body had now grown to over a hundred meters tall, surpassing even the sixty-meter-tall Oz the Demon.

His eyes bulged out and were covered with scarlet blood vessels.

His eye sockets were ruptured, and blood was flowing continuously.

Its thick neck resembled the body of a sea monster, covered with thick, python-like veins.

Its hands and feet also grew to be as huge as stone pillars, and its already obese body now resembled a giant hot air balloon with a diameter of tens of meters, standing on the desert land in front of Albana.

The two horns on its head also grew incredibly thick, pointing towards the sky.

Its massive body, hundreds of meters tall, blocked the cold moonlight from the sky, casting large shadows on Rorschach.

At this moment, Moria was practically the devil himself.

"Cough hee hee hee! Cough hee hee hee hee!"

Moriah's eerie laughter sounded like a thousand different voices overlapping and laughing at the same time, sending chills down one's spine.

He lowered his massive, mountain-like body and looked down at Rorschach, who had become as small as an ant. "I have now absorbed three thousand shadows. Marine Rorschach, do you know how powerful I am now? Do you know why I was able to contend with Kaido back then? I'll show you just how powerful the Shadow-Shadow Fruit really is!"

Moria raised his terrifying, massive arm, tens of meters long, and swung it down heavily towards Rorschach.

Rumble!

That fist, bigger than a house, had already blasted the air for hundreds of meters before it even touched the ground.

A massive sandstorm suddenly erupted on the desert land beneath Moria.

One can imagine that if Moria's punch were allowed to land, it would probably crack the desert ground beneath his feet.

At that time, the terrible tremors will inevitably reach the distant capital.

Amidst the rolling yellow sand, Rorschach stood expressionless, his cloak billowing behind him.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A deep blue aura surged forth from his body, instantly radiating outwards from where he stood, covering hundreds of meters of ground and dyeing the ground within a radius of thousands of meters with a deep blue luster.

Enel's pupils gradually dilated.

This.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at the deep blue desert landscape, where even the distant cliffs and city walls had turned into a deep blue color.

What is this thing?!

Moria's giant fist slammed into the ground.

boom!

The violent and boundless impact caused the desert within a radius of several thousand meters to tremble and buzz.

But under the overwhelming blue armor, the ground did not crack or collapse.

The surrounding air was compressed layer upon layer, transforming into a terrifyingly powerful air cannon that exploded with a thunderous roar that resounded across the sky.

"Roar!!"

Moria's massive, pillar-like foot stomped on the ground, and his arm rose again, hammering down at Rorschach.

"This power is indeed incredibly strong, but it sacrifices agility and intelligence for such clumsy strength, which can only destroy the terrain at best."

Rorschach shook his head inwardly, watching the massive fist that blotted out the sky come crashing down. He stomped his foot, and his body instantly expanded to eight meters tall. His azure scales reflected the moonlight, and his thick Qilin claws threw out a punch that slammed into Moria's fist, which was larger than a house.

Bang! !

The earth-shattering explosion was like hundreds of explosive rocks exploding, or a volcano erupting in the desert.

A series of chaotic and violent air rings exploded on Luo Xia's fist, stirring up waves of surging storms on the ground within a radius of several thousand meters.

Luo's expression changed drastically. He spread his five fingers on his right hand, and the surgical space with a diameter of one kilometer flashed by in the face of the raging storm, sweeping away the naval and royal guard soldiers all over the ground.

Enel's body exploded with a bang, turning into clouds and arcs of electricity.

With bloodshot eyes, having absorbed too many shadows, Moria, whose mind was in a daze, opened his mouth and let out a painful scream.

His massive arm, which slammed down, began to crack inch by inch, starting from the surface of his right fist.

The giant arm, tens of meters long, resembled cracked earth, splitting open with bright red fissures. Massive amounts of blood gushed out like a waterfall, splattering onto the ground.

The muscles and bones inside the body were impacted and shaken by a terrifying force like a volcanic eruption, torn apart and broken.

Large amounts of blood gushed out of his eyes, ears, nose and mouth like a fountain.

Along with the gushing blood, there were also streaks of black shadows.

Hundreds and thousands of black shadows broke free from Moria's hundred-meter-tall body and flew into the sky like a shower of flowers, shooting in all directions and covering the entire sky, looking eerie and terrifying.

As numerous shadows escaped and flew away from his body, Moria's hundred-meter-tall body rapidly shrank, like a deflated balloon.

Moriah's body crashed down like a collapsing mountain, slamming heavily onto the ground.

His blood-red eyes stared intently at Luo Xia.

Moria was stunned when he saw Rorschach's steel-like, scale-covered figure with antlers on his head.

"Kaido!! It's you again! You bastard!"

Chapter 336 Sengoku has gone mad, Kaido has arrived.

Marineford, Naval Headquarters.

"Ugh! This is unbearable!"

In the marshal's office atop the Fortress of Justice, the sighs of a heartbroken old man could be heard once more.

The office door creaked open from the outside, and Lieutenant General Tsuru walked in with a stack of documents, smiling. "What's wrong, Sengoku? Got scolded again?"

"Xiao He, stop making fun of me, I'm getting so annoyed."

Zhan Guo rubbed his temples, leaned back in his chair, and looked haggard.

How can we live like this?

A dignified naval marshal, yet he gets scolded every few days.

It hasn't been ten days since I was last scolded, has it?

I just got a Den Den Mushi call from the Five Elders again, and they gave me a thorough dressing-down.
