One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"Once he completely disappears, the World Government's control over this ocean will be reduced to its lowest level!"

"And when the World Government completely lost control of the seas..."

Moria's eyes flashed, but he didn't continue thinking about it.

Rather than enjoying the predetermined future, he looks forward to witnessing that moment arrive with his own eyes!

Chapter 483 You and I are very similar

"Why...why!?"

boom!!!

The violent explosion rang out like divine punishment, and the blazing flames ignited the entire night sky, making the brightly lit golden city even more dazzling.

Tesoro, the Golden Emperor who embodies entertainment and wealth in the world today, lay sprawled on the ground, struggling to lift his head to look at Moria, the Shadow Demon, who was closing in on him step by step.

Tesoro's strength is by no means weak.

Having awakened the Paramecia-type Gold Fruit, even if his strength is not as good as Doflamingo's, it is by no means that the difference is too great.

Converted to Pokémon levels, even without considering Devil Fruit abilities, its base strength is at least level 70, making it a formidable opponent.

however……

Standing before him at this moment was Gecko Moria, whose strength had long since recovered to its peak and even surpassed it, who had mastered both Dark and Ghost type Pokémon moves, and who, along with his shadow, had respectively completed Dark-type and Ghost-type Pokémon transformations!

Since he calmed down and willingly joined the Straw Hat Pirates, Moria's life has changed every single day!

At first, he might have been somewhat resistant, but ever since the Straw Hat Pirates selflessly shared their experience of Pokémonization with the pirates who made outstanding contributions to the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, all his dissatisfaction and resentment have turned into the driving force to dedicate himself to the Straw Hat Pirates to the point of exhaustion!

What a joke!

In this cruel world, everything else is meaningless; only real strength is the foundation for a person's survival and livelihood.

As long as you humble yourself and listen attentively, you can break through your own limitations and gain power that transcends this world...

Such a deal might not have convinced the young Moria, but for Moria, who was already middle-aged and old and had no hope for the future, the temptation was as irresistible as honey in front of a bear.

More importantly...

The Straw Hat Pirates are truly generous to their own people!

With her Aura power, Red can easily sense the loyalty of others to the Straw Hat Pirates.

Therefore, the various benefits and perks they bestow upon them are incredibly generous.

The legendary ancient weapon, Hades, is the best example!

All they had to do was contribute a small, movable island, and they were rewarded with such divine weapons...

Now, if anyone dares to say anything bad about the Straw Hat Pirates in front of Moria, he'll definitely fight that person to the death.

Nothing touches the heart more than a real reward!

"What a disgrace, Tesoro!"

tread!

Moriah's mountain-like body easily left a distinct footprint on the gold-strewn ground.

Beside him, Perona, in her ghost form, also transformed into a colossal giant, emitting a "giggle giggle giggle" laugh.

On the other side, Absalom, who suddenly appeared from the void like a shadow assassin, had a fierce, dark green glint in his eyes as he watched everything in front of him.

In Absalom's arms was Bakura, Tesoro's loyal subordinate and the user of the Luck-Luck Fruit.

However, Bakara was in a terrible state, covered in burns and the impact of the explosion, clearly having been ambushed by Absalom, who possessed the ability to become invisible.

The power of the Lucky Fruit requires physical contact with the target to take effect.

Facing Absalom, the user of the Invisibility Fruit who could completely conceal his aura, Bakara was completely unprepared and didn't even understand what was happening before being killed by Absalom and then tightly hugged by his groping hands.

As for Tesoro's other subordinate, Mr. Tanaka...

Although she possesses the ability to freely travel through the inorganic world, Perona, in her ghost form, can also freely travel through the material world.

Compared to Perona, Mr. Tanaka's Devil Fruit ability had nothing special about it.

Especially after being surrounded by ghosts capable of using various Ghost-type moves, Mr. Tanaka didn't even have time to utter a harsh word before he passed out.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the battlefield, Hogback, riding atop the nine-tailed zombie, was also wreaking havoc on the town's buildings with his eerie laughter, driving the wealthy people into open spaces and ordering them to stand still and prepare for the upcoming robbery.

This was a sudden attack!

The attackers, a mere four men, managed to completely overrun the entertainment city of Gran Tezzolo in just half an hour.

Everything happened so suddenly that Tesoro didn't even have a chance to retaliate before he was attacked by Moria in his Shadow Demon form.

Moria now always keeps several Sea King shadows around him, and once he enters battle mode, he will have them devour these Sea King shadows.

The shadow from the beasts, while not granting him more combat skills, did amplify his power to the extreme.

Coupled with the IQ-lowering buff caused by the shadow, he becomes even more ferocious than usual when he enters battle mode.

"hateful!"

Seeing that Moria not only attacked him but also humiliated him in front of him, Tesoro gritted his teeth and roared angrily.

The gold surrounding him suddenly liquefied, flowing towards his body like rolling magma.

But just as he was about to use his Devil Fruit power to enter his Golden Giant form, Moria's voice preemptively threatened him:

"Stop struggling, Tesoro!"

boom!!!

The jet-black energy sphere suddenly traversed the void and landed precisely on the golden pillar behind Tesoro. The surging energy seemed to possess an corrosive power, instantly creating a huge crater in it.

The towering pillar also tilted backward, crashing to the ground with a loud thud, turning into a pile of shattered gold.

"Faced with absolute power, all your actions will only make you more ridiculous!!!"

Moria continued forward, his shadowy arm reaching out to grab Tesoro.

Endless gold surged toward his palm, attempting to envelop Moria's arm as if it possessed a parasitic function.

However, under the overwhelming power of Moria, Tesoro, a strongman whose strength rivals that of a top-tier Yonko vice president, could not stop Moria in any way, even with all his methods.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that once the Straw Hat Pirates popularized Pokémon-ification, the One Piece world entered a completely new dimension.

The extreme enhancement brought about by Pokémonization is enough to allow any strong player to leapfrog two levels.

Moria, who was already stronger than Tesoro, became comparable to an Admiral after crossing two classes. He was simply not someone like Tesoro, who relied entirely on his Devil Fruit ability, could contend with.

only……

After grasping Tesoro in his hand, Moria did not launch a second attack.

Instead, his eyes flickered as he looked at Tesoro, who was still controlling the gold to attack Moria, and said:

"Perhaps... you really are a lot like me."

"Gild Tesoro, a former slave of the Celestial Dragons..."

Chapter 484 Tesoro's Submission

"What!?"

Upon hearing Moria's words, Tesoro's pupils suddenly contracted.

Then, while forcefully pulling on Moria's large fingers, he said in a pretentious manner:

"What Celestial Dragon slave? I don't know what you're talking about..."

"Hehehehe..."

Moria's dark green eyes gleamed, and he let out a low laugh:

"Stop trying to hide anything, we already know everything about you!"

"But I really want to ask you, how could you still be willing to make a deal with the Celestial Dragons and become their dog after learning that Stella died at their hands!?"

"Damn it!!!"

Tesoro, whose chest was being pressed down, let out a muffled and hoarse sound.

Upon hearing the name "Stella," he immediately realized that these guys truly knew everything about his past.

This includes the fact that he was once a slave of the Celestial Dragons.

"What do you guys know?!"

Even with fate holding him by the throat, Tesoro still fought back desperately:

"How can you understand all this if you haven't experienced my pain!"

"I want to control all the money in the world! I want to become the richest man in the world!"

"One day, I will make even the Celestial Dragons kneel before my wealth!"

boom!!!

As Tesoro's anger reached its peak, the previously subsided molten gold boiled again, transforming into sharp spears that thrust towards Moria.

Moria ignored Tesoro's sudden attack. Just as the sharp spear was about to pierce his body, a dark shadow suddenly rose from beneath Moria's feet, turning into countless arms that grabbed all the golden spears, preventing them from advancing an inch.

"I've already said it! Your power is nothing but a hollow shell before me!"

"A mere Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user who has awakened his power dares to challenge the mighty power of Pokémon!"

"Looks like you won't listen unless I completely give up on you!"

Endless malice suddenly erupted from Moria's body, forming behind him a terrifying demon with scarlet eyes and sharp fangs.

The moment the demon appeared, Tesoro, who was still in a state of rage, suddenly turned pale as if he had seen some kind of prehistoric beast, and his pupils trembled violently.

Ghost-type move: Fright.

Although in the game it is just an inconspicuous move with a power of only 30 points, after Moria's improvement, it directly becomes a mental attack move that is comparable to Conqueror's Haki and directly hits the enemy's mind!

Especially when the Shadow Clone technique is used in Ghost Pokémon form, the Ghost energy that erupts is even more abundant.

Combined with Moria's already demonic face, the effect is greatly amplified.
