Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

[Golden Treasure Chest: Princess Mononoke Perona]

[Treasure Chest Rating: ★★★★]

Chapter 188 Moria, the Thousand Shadow Giant!

Princess Mononoke disappears instantly.

Brook and the four Titans also quickly recovered from the negative state of the "Negative Ghost".

However, with four giants and a skeleton present, everyone felt incredibly ashamed of their previous negative remarks.

For a moment, no one spoke up, and the surroundings were deathly silent.

It was Ian who finally spoke, breaking the silence.

"Broki, Donley, these two must be Cassie and Oimo, right?"

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Brogy the Red Demon, who was directly called out by Ian, let out a loud laugh to cover up his embarrassment.

"Ian! I never expected to run into you here!"

"Dongli! Say something too!"

"Eek ga ga ga!"

Aoki Tori also let out a dry laugh, and he patted the shoulders of the two giants beside him.

“Cassie, Oimo! This is Ian Adrian! He's our benefactor!”

"Lord Ian!" x2

Cassie and Oimo called out respectfully in unison.

These two giants had already heard the whole story from Captains Brogy and Dorry.

They also knew that the reason why Captains Brogy and Dorry suddenly appeared on Enies Lobby was because a "benefactor" told the two captains about how they, these two fools, had been deceived by the World Government.

Neither Cassie nor Oimo could have imagined that their encounter with their benefactor would come so soon.

and……

All four giants were saved by their benefactor once.

"Hello."

Ian nodded to Cassie and Oimo, then pointed to Brooke standing to the side.

"This is Brooke, a friend I just met."

"Greetings, gentlemen of giants."

Brooke removed his top hat, politely introduced himself, and then eagerly offered his praise.

"They really are giants! In all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen a real giant! Woohoo!"

"A talking skeleton? Crack crack crack!"

Red Demon Brogy couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw Brook's appearance.

"How interesting! It seems that if you live long enough, you can see all kinds of creatures."

"Yo ho ho ho! I'd love to say that too."

Brook looked at the giants curiously and said with a smile.

"I wish I could have that much muscle... even though I don't have any!"

Just as the skeletons and giants got to know each other.

Meanwhile, the lazy, reclusive man (just kidding) – Gecko Moria – also received a report from his subordinates at this time.

"What?! A white dragon flew to the Thriller Bark?"

Gecko Moria had already guessed the identity of the newcomer by the iconic blue-eyed white dragon.

"Is that the new brat, Hakuryu? What's that guy doing on my turf?"

Moonlight Moria raised his right hand, and viscous black shadows gushed out of his body like liquid, quickly transforming into black bats that flew out of his castle.

One after another, shadowy bats swept across the sky above the terrifying three-masted sailboat, quickly arriving at the Death Forest, the place where the five "giants" had gathered.

The shadowy bats merged together, eventually forming a black shadow that was exactly the same shape as Moonlight Moria.

【Shadow Warrior】!

The next moment, the shadow and the original body swapped positions.

Moonlight Moria's true form appeared directly in the Forest of Death.

"One, two, three, four... five?"

Moonlight Moria was taken aback when he saw Ian's tall and imposing figure.

"When did the fifth giant appear?"

"Wait! You're that newcomer who recently joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea—Haku?"

The appearance of the Seven Warlords of the Sea silenced Brook and the four Titans.

Ian calmly looked at Gecko Moria, his size instantly shrinking from over twenty meters tall to about seven meters, roughly the same height as Gecko Moria.

"Gecko Moria, why did you attack my 'friend'?"

"Friends? Hehehehe!"

Gecko Moria glanced at the four giants and a skeleton beside him and let out a piercing laugh.

"Who do you think you are, White Dragon!"

"Now I'll take your shadow too!"

Moonlight Moria raised his right hand, and countless small shadow bats emerged from his shadow, quickly gathering together to form a giant spear with a very peculiar shape.

The spearhead of this black shadow spear is not prismatic or blade-shaped, but rather resembles a black, pointed lizard!

"Go! Horned Blade Shadow!"

The black spear, composed of shadows, pierced through the air with a sharp whistling sound, seemingly moving at incredible speed.

Even a giant standing in front of this black spear would have his body pierced through by this "shadow spear".

But for Ian...

"Slow...too slow!"

Ian calmly dodged Moonlight Moria's "Horned Blade Shadow".

He moved as if taking a leisurely stroll, yet with incredible speed, arriving before Moonlight Moria in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Gecko Moria was still in the same pose he had just used to unleash "Horned Blade Shadow".

'Nani—'

Moonlight Moria caught a glimpse of Ian approaching out of the corner of his eye.

However, given his reflexes, he didn't even realize when the other person approached.

Naturally.

Moonlight Moria also failed to notice Ian's sudden swing of his right fist.

Ian approached Moonlight Moria and swung his right fist directly at him.

It was an ordinary fist, not imbued with any Armament Haki, but simply covered in a layer of ordinary clay.

But this is still a powerful move—

Clay Giant Fist!

boom!

Ian's right fist slammed heavily into Moonlight Moria's stomach.

The fist collided with the abdomen, producing a dull thud.

Ian's right fist was deeply embedded in Moonlight Moria's stomach, and white shockwaves burst out and spread in all directions.

'The power of that punch...'

Gecko Moria's eyes widened as he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

His body involuntarily curled up inwards, and a mouthful of bright red blood spurted from between his crisscrossing, shark-like teeth. Then, he flew backwards.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Boom!

The enormous size of Moonlight Moria smashed through countless trees in the Forest of Death, the sound of breaking trees echoing endlessly.

Even with the trees of the Death Forest as a shield.

Moonlight Moria continued flying for hundreds of meters before finally stopping, crashing heavily to the ground and creating a crater in the earth beneath the Thriller Bark.

"Pfft—whoa!"

The moment he landed, Gecko Moria coughed up another mouthful of blood, his clothes covered in blood and dust, looking utterly disheveled.

The power of Bai Long's punch...

It seems that Gecko Moria was taken back to Wano Country more than ten years ago.

How many years has it been...

It's been so many years since I've felt this kind of pain!

"Kaido... Kaido!!"

Moonlight Moria suddenly roared to the sky.

But the person he yelled at wasn't Ian, who had just hit him.

It was Kaido of the Beasts, who had once defeated him!

"I must kill you!"

Moonlight Moria lowered his head, his bloodshot eyes staring intently at Ian like a vengeful ghost from hell.

"White Dragon! As long as I get your shadow, I will definitely be able to take revenge on Kaido!"

Ian followed the trajectory of Moonlight Moria and arrived in front of the "Shadow Ruler".

But what the other person said still made him laugh involuntarily.

"What exactly did Kaido of the Beasts do that you can't forget about him?"

Ian stepped forward and looked coldly at Moonlight Moria.

"A spineless dog that has long since had its spine broken dares to bark and howl in front of me!"

Gecko Moria didn't understand the meaning of the trash talk, but he could tell that the brat Haku was mocking him.

Gecko Moria, who was already furious, was now even more enraged.

"I'm going to turn you into a zombie!"

Moonlight Moria roared.

"Shadow gathering place!"

The voice just fell.

Under the manipulation of Gecko Moria's Shadow-Shadow Fruit, the surrounding shadows continuously converged towards his location and directly merged into his body.

And as the shadows continue to converge.

Gecko Moria's size also expanded continuously, like an inflating balloon.

The already enormous "Shadow Ruler" expanded to several times its original size in just a few breaths, reaching a height of nearly tens of meters.

"Not enough...not enough..."

As the shadow continued to be injected, Gecko Moria's mental state seemed to become increasingly chaotic.

Even so, Gecko Moria continued to demand other shadows.
