Loki, with his tongue lolling out, gradually revealed a hint of madness in his expression.

"It has indeed been a long time."

"I've been waiting for a chance to properly 'repay' you for the grudge from last time!"

"Haha, don't be so polite~" As if he hadn't heard the hatred in Loki's teeth, Shanks waved his hand with a smile: "Now we're in this together!"

"If you want revenge, at least win the battle later, right?"

"The weak have no right to say such things!"

"Heh heh~" Loki let out another hoarse, dry laugh. "Then you'd better wash your neck and wait patiently!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Loki strode forward and walked towards the center of the battlefield.

His gaze swept quickly across the group of people wearing straw hats, then he grinned and said:

"So... which one of you will be my opponent!?"

"I'll do it!"

A figure strode out from the group of people wearing straw hats.

Upon seeing this person, all the giants and the viewers in front of the television were suddenly stunned.

"Moria!?"

"It could be him!?"

Ben Bekaman looked at the figure that had already stood in front of Loki, a strange expression on his face.

He had seen Loki's body years ago.

It's fair to say that even Shanks had to put in considerable effort to defeat him.

As a giant and possessing that Devil Fruit, Loki's strength can be said to have reached the threshold of a Yonko-level powerhouse, and he could easily defeat ordinary Marine Admirals.

And Moria?

It's not that they look down on Moriah, but everyone has witnessed Moriah's actions over the years.

What might be considered confidential information to others is no secret to the Four Emperors, or to Beckman, who is known for his intelligence.

He even knew that Moria had been building his zombie army in the Devil's Triangle for years, only to reappear after encountering the Straw Hat Pirates.

Not long ago, the Moria Pirates also attracted widespread attention worldwide for reviving the ancient weapon Pluton.

Even so...

How powerful could a guy who was forced to cower in the first half of the Grand Line by Kaido be?

But he actually dared to stand up at this time today.

Beckman didn't believe the Straw Hat Pirates wouldn't know about information related to Loki.

In other words...

In just over a year, they have transformed Moria into a top-tier powerhouse capable of reaching the level of the Four Emperors!

This……

Is that right?

Ben Beckman stared blankly at the two men on the battlefield.

Loki, with his exceptional Observation Haki, was naturally able to sense Moria's life force at that moment.

He immediately frowned, and said angrily as if insulted:

"So you're the guy the Straw Hat crew sent to fight me?"

"Isn't that a bit too weak?!"

In fact, after this period of effort, Moria's level has already reached 78, and his basic strength can be said to have reached the level of a top-tier Yonko vice president.

Including the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, Pokémon transformation, Pokémon moves, and a whole host of other abilities, he's definitely a top-tier Marine Admiral-level fighter.

Even so, there is still a considerable gap between him and Loki.

But it doesn't matter!

To ensure the Straw Hat Pirates wouldn't lose face in front of the whole world, Moria secured the support of all the Straw Hat Grand Fleet crews and made thorough preparations for this battle.

"Hehehe~"

Moria, whose wickedness was in no way inferior to Loki's, let out a sharp laugh.

"I hope you can still say things like this later!"

Moria responded calmly.

It was precisely this attitude of his that made Loki's smile even wider.

"is it?"

"Looks like you're just as confident as those guys before you!"

"Come on! Let me see what other tricks the Straw Hat Pirates have up their sleeves!"

"I hope you can make me happy!"

"Otherwise, before I destroy the world, I will destroy you first!!!"

Loki generously revealed his lifelong dream.

Although his dream may be blocked by the whole world.

The moment Loki finished speaking, his body suddenly swelled up.

Dark gray hair grew out of his body in dense, jungle-like patches.

At that moment, his hands and feet transformed into sharp, ferocious claws.

Boom!!!

Despite not having actually come into contact with the real sky, the underworld suddenly resounded with a deafening clap of thunder.

Peng...

The bandages that had been covering Loki's eyes suddenly shattered and slowly fell off like shredded hair, revealing a pair of ferocious, blood-red eyes!

sieve……

A strange mental fluctuation emanated from those terrifying eyes, causing everyone who met their gaze to shudder and feel a sudden pang of unease.

Even the viewers in front of their screens were not spared!

"Zoan-type, Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Fenrir Mode!!!"

Loki, now a giant werewolf, panted like a dog, his fierce eyes fixed on Moria, constantly exerting mental pressure on him.

In the blink of an eye, Loki transformed from a strange giant into a giant, upright werewolf!

Its scattered blood and spiritual energy formed jet-black lightning, which shimmered around its body.

"Mythical Beast, is this all you're relying on?!"

Faced with the overwhelming pressure emanating from Loki, which resembled that of a god or demon, Moria simply smiled.

joke.

It's just a feature that creates a sense of oppression, isn't it?

Moria acknowledged that Moria was indeed very powerful, but to think that he would be intimidated by such a small amount of skill would be to underestimate him.

Seeing that Loki had already assumed his battle form, Moria's eyes flashed, and a divine light of evolution suddenly emanated from his body.

In the blink of an eye, Moria, whose body was covered in mysterious patterns, appeared in front of Loki.

Compared to Loki, who exudes a terrifying aura, Moria at this moment only gives the impression of being more cunning.

There is nothing else besides that.

"Hey? Can Moria really beat this big oaf?!"

Immediately, someone in the straw hat formation asked a curious question.

After all, judging from their auras at this moment, Moria had lost by a significant margin.

But the next second, Moria's shadow suddenly stood up, approached Moria from behind, and finally merged into his body.

As the shadow entered, Moria's size inexplicably expanded.

Moria smiled wickedly:

"It's been such a long time since I've used this move!"

"Then let me see where my current limits truly lie!!!"

As he spoke, Moria suddenly bent forward, placing his hands on the ground and bending his legs, landing on the ground like a toad.

He called out softly:

"Shadows—Gathering Place!!!"

rustling, rustling, rustling...

As Moria unleashed his signature move once again after many years, from the temporary port outside Elbaf...

Countless shadows suddenly surged wildly from the Hades, like an undercurrent of mysterious power, falling from the towering Hades and heading straight for Moria's body.

Such a strange scene naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Many people with amazing visual abilities were shocked to discover that the dark things that kept pouring into Moria's body were actually composed of one shadow after another!

Shadow Gathering Ground, Moria's strongest technique using the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, has the effect of absorbing all the cut-off shadows into himself, making him stronger with the power of the shadows!

In preparation for this battle, Moria recently cut out the shadows of all the prisoners currently held by the Straw Hat Grand Fleet and left them on the Pluton.

Among them, there are two whose strength is comparable to that of a top-tier Yonko commander: Edward Weevil and Gild Tesoro.

There are also quite a few other strong individuals at or below the level of ordinary deputy emperors.

For example, the Wald Pirates, who were recently wiped out by Barto, were among them.

In addition, Moria also followed Crimson's advice during this period, capturing many ferocious beasts and sea kings, cutting out their shadows for his own use.

The resulting shadowy currents were clearly caused by the enormous shadow of the sea king.
