Moria wanted to save Absalom and Dr. Hogback, but Basire and Crocodile were staring at him, making it impossible for him to help.
The shadow claw he sent to help them was easily destroyed by Basire.
"Moria, your subordinates are so rubbish, they are even weaker than my minions! Come on, join the Big Daddy Pirates as well, otherwise, you and your men will have to die!"
Before Basire could speak, Crocodile spoke first. He knew about Basire's powerful methods and the Dark Fruit's weirdness. So Gecko Moria wouldn't be able to run away.
Instead of killing Moria and letting Basire retrieve the Shadow Fruit, he might as well help persuade him to surrender.
If Gecko Moria, another Shichibukai, also joins the Big Daddy Pirates, then Crocodile himself wouldn't feel so embarrassed.
After all, two Shichibukai joined, which shows that Basire is really strong. So it wouldn't be a shame for him to succumb to his command.
"Shut up! Crocodile! They're my crewmates!!"
Moria watched helplessly as Absalom and Dr Hogback were both handcuffed with seastone by the crew of the Big Daddy Pirates, but he was unable to help.
"Oh, really? Then what can you pay for them now?"
Crocodile chewed his cigar and smiled contemptuously, and then said irritatingly, thinking that it would be good if Gecko Moria was forced to join the Big Daddy Pirates for the sake of his crew.
"..."
Moria gritted his teeth as he looked at Crocodile and Basire, his eyes full of reluctance. He wanted to save his men, but he didn't want to fall under Basire's command.
"Basire, let them go, I am willing to form an alliance with you, and you will be the leader of the alliance so I will follow your lead from now on!"
Moria said reluctantly, but he quickly stated his bottom line.
"Do you think Basire will need an ally like you? Moria, stop struggling and put down your pride!"
"Didn't you say that you care for your crew?"
Crocodile continued to taunt, feeling unhappy in his heart. If he could have formed an alliance with Basire, he would have chosen to form an alliance a long time ago instead of becoming a crew member of the Big Daddy Pirates.
Basire's Dark Fruit plundering ability is really too scary and despair inducing.
Even if he dies, Basire can still recycle his Devil Fruit ability and create another strong man.
This would make their death in vain, and there would be no regrets for Basire at all.
"Crocodile! Shut up, you dog! I am talking with Badire, what right do you have to interrupt?!!"
Moria yelled angrily, why did Crocodile become so disgusting after joining the Big Daddy Pirates? It was really annoying.
"You!!"
Crocodile's face immediately turned gloomy, and his expression was filled with murderous intent.
"Basire, let's kill him. You can give the Shadow Fruit ability to Burgess so that you don't have to worry about getting him a devil fruit every day."
Crocodile had a sand tornado on his hand, ready to attack the trash Gecko Moria at any time.
"Crocodile is right, I don't need allies. Moria, make your choice, join or die!"
A barrier blade appeared on Basire's hand, and the surging Emission Haki wrapped around it, full of oppression.
"Bastard!!"
Moria watched with fear as Basire and Crocodile prepared to deal with him. He also saw that the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates had easily beaten his zombie army.
…
On the other side, Crocus and Brook have also landed on Thriller Bark and were waiting for an opportunity to snatch Brook's shadow back.
There is also a strong figure flying towards the island ship at high speed over the sea.
"Some people always have to be beaten up before they can see reality clearly!"
Basire stopped dawdling and wanted to show Gecko Moria his strength in person.
'Hakoku!'
The giant barrier blade in Basire's hand was briefly charged, and a terrifying spiral sword energy was sent at Moria instantly.
In fact, Basire doesn't have to force Moria to become his subordinate. At worst, he can deprive him of the Shadow Fruit ability and train another Shadow Fruit ability user.
And Crocodile, who had just been insulted, also took the opportunity to swing four sharp sand blades to block Moria's escape route.
'Kagemusha!'
Moria disappeared instantly, switching places with a shadow on the other side, avoiding Basire's terrifying attack.
'Doppelman!'
A black shadow clone that was about the same size as Gecko Moria ignored Crocodile's sand blade attack and went straight towards Basire.
A barrier armor appeared on Basire, and he ignored the Doppelman's attack and struck directly at Gecko Moria's body.
The fierce Conqueror's Haki erupted, disturbing Moria's mind, and the barrier blade in Basire's hand was stained with strange patterns.
'Seven Star Slash!'
Basire's figure flashed rapidly, leaving behind a series of afterimages, and instantly appeared in front of Moria, striking at him domineeringly.
Moria disappeared again, and exchanged places with his shadow to appear on the other side, but Basire's attack actually followed him, which made Moria's pupils tremble.
'Shadow shield!'
He crazily activated his Shadow Fruit ability and generated a shadow shield in front of himself, trying to block Basire's strange blow.
Uh-huh~
Moria vomited blood as he was thrown away, with a hideous wound nearly one meter long appearing on his body.
'Barrier: Death Duel Cage!'
As soon as Basire landed, he slapped his right hand on the ground, and a huge transparent barrier cage appeared, covering both Gecko Moria and Crocodile.
"This space is bigger and the release speed is faster."
Crocodile's mouth twitched slightly, not even his Logia Sand Fruit could help him escape from this barrier cage. He wondered if Moria could exchange places with his shadow from here.
Basire ignored Crocodile, and barrier spikes extended from the barrier cage, attacking Gecko Moria.
"Basire, don't force me!!"
"Shadow's Asgard!!"
Moria shouted angrily to gather all the shadows to provide him with power.
But at the next moment, he was stabbed again by the barrier spikes and covered in blood, and none of the shadows he was expecting appeared.
"Stop resisting, Moria. This barrier space is now completely isolated from the outside, and you have no shadow to consume!"
'Barrier giant fist!'
Basire rushed towards Moria again and gave him a terrifying punch, knocking out all the stomach acid and blood from him.
"You're much easier to deal with than Golden Lion Shiki!"
Basire grinned and looked at Moria who was kneeling and vomiting blood. He pulled out his seastone knife and stabbed it into his body.
Dealing with Gecko Moria was even easier than dealing with Crocodile.
He felt that Crocodile could also deal with this loser Moria now.
