Although the World Government said that Crocodile was suppressed by the Marines because he started a rebellion in the desert kingdom of Alabasta, most people in this world have their own sources of intelligence information, and Moria is no exception.
As for the real reason why Crocodile was imprisoned by the Marines, Moria was naturally very clear. How could such a group of rookies defeat Crocodile?
He even learned from Rhine that these guys even defeated one of the three legendary pirates, Golden Lion Shiki!
"Just a group of rookies, I want to see if it is true as the captain said that you have strong perseverance and can overturn the victory of a battle!"
Moria showed an extremely terrifying smile on his face. The next moment, with countless shadow bats flying out from all around, Moria also turned into a shadow and attacked the location of the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Hehehehe!! Your journey ends here, kid!"
Hearing Moria's weird and sharp laughter, the Straw Hat Pirates were all startled and looked up at the sky!
Seeing countless bats gradually condensed into Moria's body, the Straw Hat Pirates archaeologist, Nico Robin recognized this guy's identity at a glance!
"This guy is... one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Gekko Moria!!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Straw Hat Pirates all changed, Seven Warlords of the Sea!
Now they are no longer ordinary Pirates who just broke into the Grand Line. During the days of sailing on the Grand Line, the Straw Hat Pirates can be said to have challenged many seemingly invincible strongmen!
Many of them put the Straw Hat Pirates into desperate situations many times, which also made the Straw Hat Pirates more aware of the checks and balances of the major forces in this world!
Seven Warlords of the Sea is one of the powerful forces. In the past, they were almost wiped out by Crocodile in Alabasta. It has not been long since this happened!
"Didn't expect this to be Moria's territory?!"
Franky, the shipwright from the Seven Waters, couldn't help but change his expression. Knowing the terrifying Seven Warlords of the Sea, Franky has quietly prepared for the battle, and the guns in his body have begun to condense!
"a**hole! You're not the one I'm looking for!"
Seeing Moria suddenly appear, Straw Hat Luffy didn't care. His eyes were full of dissatisfaction, and he rushed towards Moria, shouting: "Let the b*****d who took Nami come out!"
"Hehehehehe!"
Moria sneered, his eyes fell on Straw Hat Luffy, and as the shadows around him turned into countless bats, Moria taunted: "You little brats, you still want to face the captain? Are you kidding?"
"Scatter the bats!!"
As the shadows under Moria's feet split, a large number of bat-shaped shadows continued to bite at the Straw Hat Pirates!
"Get out of my way!!!"
Faced with Moria's attack, Straw Hat Luffy still didn't care, and rushed towards Moria.
"Rubber Pistol!!"
If it was the previous Moria, he might choose to resist the attack of Straw Hat Luffy. Although he would not suffer any injuries, it would be somewhat affected.
But now, Moria, who was completely awakened by Rhine and reawakened Observation Haki, did not intend to give Straw Hat Crew any chance.
After easily dodging the attack of Straw Hat Luffy, Moria raised his hand and grabbed Straw Hat Luffy. The dark shadow spread from the ground, passed through Moria's body, and wrapped around Straw Hat Luffy.
"Shadow Box!"
In an instant, Straw Hat Luffy was wrapped in darkness by the shadow, and then Moria condensed a shadow gun in his hand and stabbed it straight at the shadow box!
"Your journey ends here, Straw Hat Kid!"
But at this moment, something unexpected happened to Moria.
Two figures suddenly blocked him from the left and right, and they actually blocked the shadow gun together.
"Huh?"
Moria frowned and looked to the side. He didn't know until he saw it. Even Moria was shocked.
His zombie soldiers were solved by Straw Hat Crew in a moment!
When Moria took a closer look, he found that these guys actually carried a lot of salt with them. When the zombie soldiers touched the salt, the shadows instantly fled and scattered. At this moment, there were only a few of the immortal zombie army still standing.
"They actually prepared salt in advance. Not many people know the weaknesses of zombie soldiers."
Moria frowned slightly, and then he noticed Brook not far away. He also reacted in his heart. Was it this guy who told the Straw Hat Crew the weaknesses of zombie soldiers?
"Hehehehe!!"
Moria suddenly laughed. His seven-meter-tall body gave the Straw Hat Pirates extremely powerful suppression. After forcing Sanji and Zoro back, Moria suddenly said: "It's interesting. You don't think you can face me after solving the zombie army?"
"a**hole! Give Nami back to us!!!"
Sanji didn't care about Moria's threatening words. He kept attacking Moria with his feet. However, in front of Moria, Sanji now looked particularly immature.
"Are you going to tickle me, kid?"
Moria sneered and taunted, and then punched down, directly knocking Sanji out!
Although the Straw Hat Pirates had already made a strong reputation during this period, their own strength was still not comparable to their own bounty!
Moreover, they were not facing a decadent Moria, but a Moria who was completely awakened!
Even though Moria's strength did not improve much after recovering from his injuries, the reawakening of his observation Haki made Moria already have a good level, at least he would not be called the weakest Shichibukai!
"Perverted cook!"
Zoro was shocked and immediately attacked Moria, but Moria still didn't even look at him, and slapped him directly. Wrapped in the shadow, Moria blocked Zoro's slash and directly threw Zoro away.
"Is this all you can do?"
"Rubber·Bazooka!!"
Just as Moria was about to attack the Straw Hat Pirates, a roar suddenly came, and the shadow box condensed in the air was destroyed from the inside. The appearance of Straw Hat Luffy at this moment also aroused Moria's interest.
"Hmm? Is this the ability of the Devil Fruit?"
At this moment, Straw Hat Luffy's body was red, emitting a strong steam, and it was obvious that he had entered the third gear state.
"Give Nami back to me!!"
Accompanied by the roar, the Straw Hat boy's figure suddenly rushed in front of Moria as if he had teleported, and punched Moria with both fists at the same time.
"Rubber·Machine Gun!!!"
