One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Fenrir the Wolf is not some trashy phoenix or Yamata no Orochi...

It is a powerful creature in mythology that has killed and devoured the father of the gods!

What rapid healing, black flames...?

In reality, they were all just byproducts of his abilities!

Just as the Azure Dragon Fruit allows him to control fire and lightning, Loki's true trump card is the unparalleled power granted by the Fenrir Fruit!

Already the strongest among the giants, the combination of this Devil Fruit's power makes the effect far greater than the sum of its parts!

However, today...

He actually lost in a contest with someone!

This was tantamount to throwing a vicious slap in the face of the proud Loki!

"What's impossible?!"

"The frog at the bottom of the well only sees the patch of sky at the top of the well, yet it thinks it has seen the whole world!"

"In reality, you've always been nothing more than a clown living in your own world!!!"

The enormous Moria turned around, his tone full of sarcasm.

In fact, Loki's attack was not as bad as Moria made it out to be.

Fortunately, under Chi Hong's influence, he learned to be more composed and made thorough preparations before coming.

If he hadn't prepared so many shadows, he could have easily been controlled by Loki just now.

Even so, feeling the burning pain in his calves, Moria couldn't help but marvel at Loki's power.

After all, he had just prepared his Armament Haki defense!

However powerful Loki may be, he is nothing to Moria at this moment.

Having absorbed the shadows of countless powerful individuals and sea king-like ferocious beasts, he even wanted to directly challenge Shanks or Jabba to see what the strongest beings of the previous era looked like!

At this moment, apart from those few freaks in the Straw Hat Pirates, Moria couldn't think of anyone else in the world who could physically rival him!

All of this is thanks to a move he developed in his youth – Shadow Gathering Ground.

This move can be said to be the strongest move Moria has at this moment!

Unfortunately, due to his limited abilities, this seemingly limitless technique did not allow him to successfully enter the ranks of top-tier experts in the past.

With Moria's later self-destruction, this move faded into obscurity.

Until... he met the Straw Hat Pirates and inexplicably became a member of the Straw Hat Pirates.

At first, as a local tyrant, he was very resistant to his new identity.

How could a dignified Shichibukai, a once world-renowned great pirate, remain subservient to others for long?

However, as time went on, he, who had gained considerable attention from Red because of his status as a Shichibukai, suddenly discovered...

Who says joining the Straw Hat crew is a bad thing?!

Joining the Straw Hat crew would be awesome!!!

The "it smells so good" principle didn't fail with Moria.

Having inexplicably become a member of the Straw Hat crew, he served as their underling for a while. Then, looking back, he was surprised to find that he had unknowingly grown to a level he never dared to imagine before!

The appearance of the Pokémon template allowed Moria to recover to his peak condition in a very short time.

With the boost from the attributes of Ghost and Evil, which greatly amplify mental power, his mental power, which was originally a weakness, underwent a leapfrog improvement after the second upgrade.

Of course, the attribute boosts from the upgrade alone would not have been enough for Moria to swallow the shadows of so many powerful creatures in one go.

The secret to his current ability lies in the first thing he swallowed—his own shadow!

Moria's Pokémonization is similar to Cavendish's.

Cavendish transforms his second consciousness into an independent entity through Pokémonization.

After Moria transformed into a Pokémon, his shadow also gained the ability and consciousness to act independently, and could act autonomously without consuming any of Moria's mental energy.

Furthermore, his shadow is his servant, unlike Cavendish who required distraction to control it.

Before becoming a Pokémon, Moria swallowed his own shadow, and the effect was no different from that of a normal shadow gathering place, except that he didn't have to endure the same mental pressure as when he swallowed other shadows.

After being transformed into a Pokémon, Moria's shadow successfully gained independent consciousness and became a separate individual.

After being devoured by Moria using the Shadow Gathering Ground, he was even able to help Moria suppress those foreign shadows within Moria's body!

And because he himself is the shadow of Moria, in a sense, he is the Lord of Shadows!

Suppressing those outsiders was even easier for him than for Moria!

And this also grants Moria himself limitless possibilities!

Given enough time, let him collect enough shadows...

What is the cursed prince of Elbaf anyway?!

It's the Four Emperors, it's the Five Elders, it's Im!!!

He is not entirely without the ability to fight!

Chapter 512 Fenrir Wolf - Awakening

Of course, the above is just Moria's own fantasy.

To truly possess such immense power, the necessary preparations cannot be completed in just a day or two.

The reason he is so powerful now is because the Straw Hat Grand Fleet has been collecting powerful pirates all over the world.

For pirates who fall into the hands of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, aside from choosing to submit, there is actually not much difference between them and being imprisoned in Impel Down.

At least after entering Impel Down, they will still have a certain degree of autonomy.

But if they were captured by the Straw Hat Pirates, they would become mere experimental subjects.

It sounds cruel, but that's the reality.

"Damn it! How is this possible!?"

Feeling a bit dizzy, Loki slowly stood up, his fierce, beastly eyes fixed on Moria.

"No! I don't believe it!"

As the strongest being in Elbaf, he did not hesitate to commit patricide in order to obtain the power of the legendary creature.

It's one thing that he was caught by Shanks not long after leaving the house!

After all, he is one of the Four Emperors, one of the four strongest people on this sea!

How could someone as insignificant as Moria, a guy who would only be ridiculed in the New World, actually beat him up like this?!

How could Loki possibly accept this?

Cursed and wicked, he devoted his life to evil, risking everything for power, all in order to completely destroy the world!

But it turns out that even a random street urchin is stronger than him. Wouldn't his whole life have become a joke?!

Unconvinced, Loki suddenly coated his claws with black flames, his ruthless eyes blazing like fire. His massive body transformed once again into a black streak of light, attacking Moria once more!

"Ugh!!!"

Loki pushed off with both legs, leaping into the air and extending his sharp claws to stab at Moria's chest.

At this moment, the roused Loki is like a brave warrior who is not afraid of power, while his opponent Moria is a dark lord who wants to destroy the world!

Although the actual situation is completely the opposite, this does not diminish how stunning the image captured at this moment is.

If someone could see all of this through the darkness!

However, faced with Loki's attack, Moria merely smiled slightly and said softly:

"Naughty Territory!!!"

boom!!!

A surge of mental energy erupted from Moria's body, slamming into Loki's brain like a heavy hammer.

At the same time, a transparent barrier, invisible to the naked eye, suddenly appeared between Moria and Loki's bodies.

Loki's fiery claws struck the barrier, instantly dissipating most of their force.

Once his entire body passed through that barrier, his incredibly powerful attack had almost completely dissipated!

"Is this your level of awareness?!"

"Isn't it pathetic how weak they are?!"

Whew!!

A terrifying giant fist descended from the sky and slammed into Loki's body. The terrifying force left Loki, who was still in an attacking state, with no time to defend himself. He was immediately struck by Moria's heavy punch, and his body once again crashed into the shadowy earth like a flying meteor.

"It's no use! Times have changed, Loki!"

"You, still stuck in the old era, have no idea how great this power is!"

"Malicious pursuit!"

After transforming into a Pokémon, Moria, who was now able to freely use Dark-type moves, attacked again.

Taking advantage of the effect of his malicious pursuit, his body suddenly moved with even greater agility than usual, launching another attack on Loki, who had crashed into the ground.

boom!!!!!

On this day, the World Tree, which bears witness to Elbaf, cried out in anguish for who knows how many times.

Moria's punch caused the entire underworld to tremble violently once again.

"What...what exactly happened!?"

Many individuals with only average Observation Haki gripped the surrounding objects to resist the violent shaking of the ground while gazing into the darkness ahead, letting out bewildered roars.

In the previous rounds of battle, at least they could see the situation and know which side was favoring the battle.

Even though they witnessed the giants' defeat, at least they were mentally prepared.

However, at this moment, the battlefield shrouded in shadow is like an adult film that has been stuck halfway through, leaving people unable to move forward or backward, scratching their heads in frustration.
