West Blue, Thriller Park Island:
The sound of knocking and construction can be heard everywhere on the island at this moment.
Unlike the gloomy and intimidating Thriller Bark in the Florian Triangle, Thriller Park Island looks like any ordinary island under the blue sky.
But this ordinary island is slowly becoming the world's largest ship.
A ship the size of an island.
What sets this island apart most is the art store located on its grounds. Fortunately for Moria, this art store is in stealth mode, otherwise everyone would know about it.
Even the World Government officials who arrived on the island today.
A ship with the symbol of the World Government stopped at the island's port, and a Vice-Admiral quickly descended with his Marines and several government agents with powerful auras.
"Look... They're from the Marines."
"I see it's a government ship… What's the purpose of their visit!?"
"Oh my gosh! That person is a Vice-Admiral!"
Many workers soon noticed the arrival of the navy and government officials, but no one panicked... They were like prisoners on this dreadful island ruled by Moria. For them, the arrival of the navy was a good thing.
The Navy and government officials walked straight toward the grand mansion in the middle of the island, but they had to cross the graveyard.
Many zombies started to emerge from their graves to surround the Marines and government officials, but they were quickly destroyed before they even got out of their graves.
"Tsk... Damn it! What are the Marines doing here?"
Inside the art store, Moria was very disturbed when he noticed the arrival of the Marines and government officials who had just destroyed many of the zombies he had painstakingly created after collecting too many shadows to scare anyone from entering the center of the island and discovering his art store.
With a lot of pain in his heart, Moria left the manga book and quickly went out to stop them before they reached the mansion.
He stopped reading in the scene when Nami, Usopp, and Chopper arrived in front of the mansion and started calling out to Doctor Hogback.
Moria was unusually tall, not as fat as his future version. At the moment, he had a skinny figure and a pale, vampire-like face.
The moment he walked out of the compound of the ancient mansion, the Marines immediately noticed him.
Moria only had one idea in his mind, which was to fight. He was a pirate after all.
The moment their two paths met, he summoned several shadows he was holding within his own shadow.
His advantage compared to Jinwoo was that he could extract the shadows of living people, unlike Jinwoo who could only extract the shadows of the dead.
"Kiiishishishi!! I've mastered some new abilities recently, but unfortunately, I couldn't find a suitable opponent to try them on... But it looks like heaven still wants to reward me again!"
"What do I see here, Vice-Admiral? That's enough already-"
"Gekko Moria. We're not here to fight or arrest you. We have a letter for you from the World Government."
Vice-Admiral Momonga did not hide his contempt for Moria, whom he thought was too easy. He pulled a letter from his jacket pocket and threw it to Moria.
Moria unconsciously grabbed the letter, still shocked that they wouldn't fight.
Moria then hurriedly opened the invitation letter, the more he read, the deeper the shock on his face.
(I was chosen for the position of Golden Shichibukai!?)
"We just got word that the fact that you are a part of the Shichibukai has already been confirmed in One Piece's story, so-"
"Hah!? Why the hell did you give me a spoiler!! Was that your goal from the beginning!? " Moria's expression changed from a happy one to an extremely angry one, the events being spoiled for him in the blink of an eye.
"F@ck you! Son of a bitch!!" Moria cursed with bloodshot eyes.
Many shadows began to emerge from Moria's shadow as he prepared to slaughter the Marines bastards in front of him.
"Uh... Calm down... I'm sorry..." Vice-Admiral Momonga said.
...
Urura Island:
"Birdy...! This is scary... I'm scared... Nami, Chopper, and Usopp almost got eaten by zombies!"
On a hill overlooking the sea, Little Yamato trembled with fear as she read the first chapters of a volume of horror. But every once in a while, she would burst out laughing when a comical scene would appear amid the frightening events.
On Yamato's shoulder was a small delivery bird, which had a kind of human-like spirit in its eyes. Every time Yamato felt fear, the little bird comforted her with either its wing or its head as if to tell her it was with her. At this point, the little delivery bird became Yamato's only friend.
It was normal for a two-year-old girl to be afraid of skeletons, ghosts, and zombies; after all, before today, she didn't even know they existed in this world.
"Ah! I won't be afraid~ my birdy is with me after all, Yaay!"
Yamato gently patted the little delivery bird on the head with her tiny hand before turning back to continue reading the manga.
"Let's see who this Doctor Hogback is. I hope he's not a bad guy like Hildon, Hmph!"
Despite feeling a bit intimidated, Yamato really enjoyed reading manga.
...
"Shadows' ability!? Wororororo! Isn't this the power of that loser Moria?"
"Hm... Interesting."
Kaido looked better than he had at the time he had to take all the damage so his island wouldn't be destroyed after Rob and Imu's fight.
"Moria? Who is this?"
On the opposite side, Golden Lion was sitting comfortably while also reading manga. This was a clear sign of the success of the alliance between the two, but the world knew nothing about this alliance.
"He's just a loser I smashed when I was in Wano country. His name is Gecko Moria… Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen to the level of being just weak from the first half of the Grand Line."
"Well then, I'm not interested in knowing who he is. Anyway, he'll be the next person to lose at the hands of the Straw Hats."
Unfortunately for him, Shiki didn't know that the next person to fall to Luffy after Moria would be exactly him.
