One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"This is unbelievable!" Moria murmured in shock.

Suddenly, Crimson kicked his shin.

Stop standing there like an idiot!

"Quickly find a way to suppress Shadow's personality and take control of this new zombie as soon as possible."

"Ah...ah!"

Overjoyed Moria paused for a moment, then a dark purple shadow identical to his suddenly appeared beneath his feet.

"Shadow Mage!!!"

The two enormous demons instantly rushed toward Blackbeard, who had just opened his eyes.

But at that moment, Blackbeard suddenly stood up, exuding an incomparably domineering aura, and swept his eyes around arrogantly.

"Where am I?!"

"And who are you people?!"

As he spoke, Blackbeard suddenly reached out, as if he was about to do something.

But in an instant, his expression froze.

"strangeness!"

The resurrected Blackbeard zombie looked puzzled.

"Why didn't it fly!?"

"I am... the overlord who controls the world from the sky!"

Blackbeard, the zombie who inherited the habits of the Golden Lion, roared loudly.

But after a burst of noise, the entire operating room suddenly fell silent.

Even Moria and the Shadow Dancer, who were originally prepared to suppress the zombie Blackbeard, couldn't help but stand still, watching Blackbeard's clenched hands keep reaching forward, their expressions of doubt growing stronger.

"Hey, Crimson..."

Usopp, who had already prepared for defense and escape, couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What's going on?"

"Could this guy have gone mad from a failed surgery?"

"Nonsense! My surgery could not possibly fail!"

Upon hearing this, Hogback immediately became dissatisfied and said to Usopp with certainty:

"If he's stupid, then he must have been a stupid person from the very beginning!"

"It has absolutely nothing to do with my surgery!"

"asshole!!!"

"What exactly did you do to me?!"

Perhaps because the shadow of the Golden Lion was too powerful, even though he had been a zombie for almost a minute, the zombie Blackbeard still retained the Golden Lion's behavioral habits.

Upon hearing that Hogback had performed surgery on him, he immediately turned his gaze to Hogback, who had a unique sense of style and was hiding behind Crimson.

Swah——

A golden slash, resembling the Six Styles: Tempest Kick, suddenly shot out from under Zombie Blackbeard's feet, heading towards Crimson and the others.

"Slash Wave!"

Although the famous swords "Kumo" and "Sakura Ju" were no longer present, Zombie Blackbeard's slashes were not as fierce as those of Golden Lion.

However, with Blackbeard's stronger and younger physique, the power of this slash was in no way inferior to Shiki's orthodox Zanpakuto!

"Watch out, Moria!"

Seeing that Moria was still standing there dumbfounded without any reaction, Crimson immediately teleported forward and stood in front of everyone.

"Reflective wall!!!"

boom!!!

A transparent barrier suddenly appeared in the operating room, completely isolating half of the room.

The fierce slash struck the top, instantly unleashing a deafening roar, but it could no longer advance even an inch.

The next moment, before the zombie Blackbeard could react, a pitch-black spatial wormhole suddenly appeared beneath his feet, instantly absorbing him into it.

Having finished all this, Crimson glanced at Moria and reminded him:

"Moria, you really should work on your Devil Fruit ability."

"Otherwise, you won't be so lucky next time!"

"……I see."

Seeing the huge slash mark on the wall, Moria choked up for a moment, then quickly recalled his Shadow Warrior and followed Crimson into the dimensional cave.

As the creator of the zombies, his existence can effectively suppress the zombies' self-awareness, turning them into "puppets" under his control as quickly as possible.

This is also the main reason why the Crimson Society reprimanded Moria.

After all, judging from the current state of Zombie Blackbeard, Moria's Devil Fruit suppression ability obviously didn't have much of an effect.

Just Luffy's shadow was enough to make Oars the Demon King run amok and almost destroy Thriller Bark...

A zombie Blackbeard infused with the shadow of Shiki the Golden Lion—who knows what he'll do!

Therefore, Red and his team must find a way to activate Moria's Devil Fruit power as soon as possible and control the zombie Blackbeard.

The screen flashed.

A crimson hue, bearing the mark of Moria, suddenly appeared on a rocky shore washed by the waves.

Not far from them was Blackbeard, the zombie who had just been teleported there.

Sensing the presence of Crimson and the others, Zombie Blackbeard suddenly turned around.

He immediately focused his hostile gaze on Crimson.

"Kid! Where is this place?! And who are you people?!"

Although he doesn't have many memories of trying to remember, under the influence of the Golden Lion's shadow obsession, Zombie Blackbeard has a deep-seated aversion to Crimson.

However, when faced with Blackbeard's question, Crimson merely chuckled:

"It's just a dead man, but he's making such a fuss!"

As he spoke, his body instantly transformed, one half of his body radiating brilliant lightning, while the other half released eerie frost.

Considering that the power of fire could cause permanent damage to zombies, Crimson did not choose to load the power of the firebird.

However, the opponent was merely a corpse imbued with the shadow of the Golden Lion, which was not enough to make him go all out and fight a major battle.

Moreover, his goal was merely to hold off the zombie Blackbeard and prevent him from causing too much damage before Moria completely controlled him.

A sudden war thus unfolded on the edge of the terror ship.

For a moment, the entire island trembled as if an earthquake had struck.

The mighty thunder and azure ice crystals added a magnificent and grand landscape to the dark night.

And so, time slowly passed thanks to Chi Hong's tireless efforts.

As the bright moonlight disappears from the horizon, and the vibrant golden light rises from below the sea...

After a busy night, Master Chi finally put away his Three Sacred Birds form and wearily downed a bottle of healing medicine.

"It's finally over!"

The rising sun of the East shone arrogantly on the shore of the terror ship, spreading its warmth over Crimson and Moria.

"Hehehehehe..."

Bathed in sunlight, Moria suddenly grinned and burst into laughter.

"I did it! I did it!!!"

He suddenly turned his gaze to the sea not far away, and his face showed an expression of great excitement.

Zombie Blackbeard, who has merged with the shadow of the Golden Lion, is already strong enough to rival the level of an elite Yonko commander!

Although there is still a gap between him and the top-tier royal vice-presidents, the difference is not too great.

At least, Blackbeard now possesses power no less than Moria's at his peak!

And now, this terrifyingly powerful zombie has actually become one of his top generals!

"Cough cough!"

Just as Moria was reveling in his return to the New World with a group of zombie Blackbeards, kicking Kaido and punching Whitebeard, becoming a powerful ruler of the New World...

A faint, crimson cough abruptly interrupted Moria's daydream.

Awakening from his reverie, he instantly turned his gaze to Crimson, only to find Crimson staring at him with a serious expression, saying earnestly:

"It took almost six hours to completely suppress a single zombie..."

"Moria, your use of Devil Fruit power is far too superficial!"

"I remember you have a move called Shadow Gathering Ground, right?!"

"While we're still here, I'll have Usopp go and catch a few small sea kings..."

"And your task is to use the Shadow Gathering Ground technique to merge all the shadows of these Sea Kings into yourself, turning them into your own power!"

"Remember this! No matter how powerful your zombie is, it's just a useful tool!"

Only by becoming strong yourself can you earn the respect of others!

As a trainer, Red directly commented on Moria's performance and made clear provisions for his future training plan.

Under the crimson gaze, Moria immediately gave an awkward, forced laugh.

"...Yes...I understand, Lord Crimson!"

"Ah."

Crimson nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand, summoning a dimensional portal as tall as a person.

As he walked toward the dimensional portal that Moria couldn't use, he added to Moria:
