Grand Line’s Lord Of Shadows

Sea Circle Calendar, year 1515.

The first half of the Grand Line.

The Florian Triangle is shrouded in fog all year round and never sees the sun.

A giant ship sails across here, full of eerie atmosphere.

"Bastard!!"

Now, inside a European-style castle.

Gecko Moria, who was tall and bloated, nearly seven meters tall, clutched his abdomen in pain while a thin stream of cold sweat broke out on his head.

Feeling excruciating pain and extremely weak, he glared angrily at the thin, mummy-like figure in front of him.

Full of anger and unwillingness, he reveals a murderous intent: "Who on earth are you?"

"Hey, Moria, don't you remember me?"

The mummy, covered in bandages, was smiling sinisterly.

He slowly untied the bandages around his body, revealing his somewhat thin figure.

"You are..." Staring at the other person, Moria's pupils shrank sharply.

"Life Return: Release!"

But in the blink of an eye, the seemingly thin figure clenched his fists and let out a low shout.

"Crack...Crack..." 

All the bones in the person in front of him rang in unison, and his whole body kept rising, expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He transformed into a black-haired boy about three meters tall with an unbelievably strong physique and a handsome face.

With a slightly immature face, he looked only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Seems high-spirited and full of energy.

"Luke?"

Moria's eyes were spitting fire, and he gritted his teeth: "You bastard..."

How could he not know this young man?

Because just a few days ago, he took away the shadow of the other party.

What is even more shocking is this guy's identity.

Black Prison, Obask Luke!

He's as famous as Rob Lucci and is known as the strongest genius in CP9s in the past 800 years.

For some unknown reason, half a month ago, he suddenly killed his boss and defected. 

The outraged World Government directly offered a bounty of 200 million Belly.

Unfortunately, he strayed into the Florian Triangle and was targeted by him.

He relied on the power of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit to defeat him, take away his shadow, and create the strongest zombie, Demon Oars.

What really impressed Moria was this.

A lackey brainwashed and trained by the World Government actually possesses the rare Conqueror Haki.

He thought he valued the other party enough.

In order to prevent this guy from causing trouble, all his limbs were handcuffed, and he was locked in a prison at the bottom of the castle.

Unexpectedly, Luke escaped from prison in just a few days.

He also disguised himself as a zombie and poisoned him.

"Doppelman..."

Suddenly, just as Moria was about to use his ability, his expression changed drastically.

His Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability was actually unable to be activated.

At first, he only felt weak, which was due to the poisoning.

"Is this... seastone?"

He woke up.

Looking at the fruit platter scattered on the floor.

He looked at the other party angrily, and his heart sank to the bottom: "You guy... actually put seastone in the food?"

"I have to say that being too big does have risks!"

Luke looked directly at Moria, who was as weakly lying on the ground, and said sarcastically: "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself; it's because you are too conceited."

"You really think that by handcuffing my limbs, you can control my life!"

"I am a killing machine trained by the World Government, a senior agent specializing in assassination missions!"

"What if I let you use my shadow to create the strongest zombie? I don't have to fight with that guy to the end to get my shadow back!"

He is full of playfulness.

Gecko Moria was poisoned through the food he had specially prepared for him.

His strength cannot be used at all.

And, in the fruit platter, he deliberately hid a seastone inside.

It was embedded in the ring he carried with him and was specially used to deal with devil fruit users.

He picked it up and put it on the fruit platter.

Moria, who is more than seven meters tall and looks like a little giant, can be said to be swallowing everything in a hurry without paying much attention at all.

If he had been more vigilant, his plan might not have succeeded so easily.

But Gecko Moria has been living a comfortable life for too long.

There was no sense of vigilance at all.

He didn't notice it at all.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you..."

Luke twisted his neck and said with a sneer: "Three of your subordinates have been subdued by me!"

He knew everything about Moria's three subordinates.

Of course, it is impossible to be unprepared.

For Ghost Princess, Perona.

She had been knocked unconscious by the drug.

And Absalom was knocked unconscious by him.

Then, he handcuffed them with a seastone, disguised them as a zombie, and locked them in the cellar.

As for the genius surgeon Dr. Hogback. 

He has the lowest combat power, and he is not a devil fruit user, so he is not a threat.

It wasn't until he was about to take action against Gecko Moria that he caught him and knocked him unconscious.

He was tied up and locked up in his bedroom.

"Come here..."

Moria looked livid and shouted loudly.

He felt numb all over his body and had abdominal cramps.

Just as he was about to rush towards Luke, he stumbled and fell to one knee.

Then he vomited blood and appeared more pale.

"Stop screaming, it's useless..."

Luke looked at the other party and said with some contempt: "All the zombies in this castle were tricked by me into going to the church in Absalom's name..."

"I announce that he is going to hold a wedding with a beautiful woman he just captured, and all the zombies must be present to watch the ceremony!"

Changing voice, disguise, lurking…

For him, as an elite agent of CP9, it couldn't be easier.

Deceive these zombies who have no IQ.

It can be said that it is a piece of cake.

One of the three Zombie Generals under Gecko Moria, Absalom, who has the ability of Clear-Clear Fruit, is an out-and-out lustful person.

However, he has an ugly appearance, and through Dr. Hogback's surgery, he transforms himself into an inhuman being.

No woman can even look at him.

So, for this guy, after he steals a beauty, he can't wait to hold a wedding.

The zombies had no suspicion.

"Oars, come back here!!!"

Moria struggled and screamed.

"It's too late... And I won't give you such a chance!"

"I was afraid that the damage would be too big on this giant ship, so I arranged for it to be on the other side of the ship!"

After Luke said this, he no longer dragged the situation.

His eyes showed murderous intent, and he rushed out decisively.

"Chi-"

The next moment, a ruthless offensive was launched.

"Finger Gun!" The index finger of his right hand stretched out as fast as lightning.

"Whoosh, whoosh..." He kept stabbing out like bullets.

Tearing Gecko Moria's body apart.

"Ahhhh..."
