Grand Line’s Lord Of Shadows

"Vice Captain? Wind Swordsman?"

Gion looked at Luke in surprise.

Unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be the vice-captain recruited by Gecko Moria himself.

But she had never heard of such a person in the sea before.

However, suddenly becoming the deputy captain from an unknown existence shows that his strength must be quite extraordinary.

"Wait... the Netherworld Pirate?" Hina, who was following Gion, was a little surprised and became wary: "Aren't you the Moria Pirates?"

"Sorry, I forgot to inform you, Marine..."

Luke smiled and said: "Not long ago, Moria-sama decided that the Moria Pirates would officially be renamed as the Netherworld Pirates!"

"The Netherworld Pirate? They are really arrogant..."

Hina pouted.

Gion waved her hand nonchalantly.

Looking at Luke, she went straight to the point: "We are chasing the One-Eyed Pirates, but we lost the clue when we got here..."

"Well, we did kill a group of pirates not long ago..."

Luke didn't mean to hide it, and admitted generously: "But we are Marine's allies, so there's no need to thank us!"

"I'm sorry, little brother, those guys are the targets we are chasing so hard. It's not good for you to cut them off halfway..."

Gion smiled and said to Luke: "So those trophies belong to us, Marine."

According to the information obtained by Marine, the One-Eyed Pirates probably obtained a Devil Fruit and tried to take it to the Sabaody Archipelago to auction it off.

This is one of the reasons why Marine pursues the One-Eyed Pirates.

"Trophy?"

He stared calmly at Gion before him.

Luke responded with the same smile: "Have you ever seen a pirate spit out a meat in his mouth?"

"Ah… so there's no need to discuss it?"

Gion narrowed her eyes, and then she faintly revealed a bit of strength.

"You can think so!"

Luke's expression remained unchanged.

"Whoosh-"

In an instant, everyone present felt a flash of cold light.

Gion's sword, Konpira, and Luke's sword, Shusui, were both unsheathed, and they collided instantly.

"Keng!!"

Sparks sputter.

Amazing shock waves surged, and the waves on the sea became rough.

Luke and Gion looked at each other.

Their eyes turned extremely sharp, and they didn't give in to each other. 

"Are we going to fight right from the start?"

Hina, who was following Gion, saw this and sighed.

Her hands were slightly open, ready to launch her devil fruit ability.

"Woman, I advise you not to act rashly!" But the tall zombie general, Wang Zhi, blocked her directly.

The extremely sharp sword was pointed coldly directly at Hina.

"Brush, brush..."

For a while, regardless of whether it was the Marines who followed Gion.

Or the cadres of the Netherworld Pirates, such as Perona, Brook, and Hogback, as well as the zombies who act as combatants around them.

They immediately raised their guns, swords, and other weapons and started to confront the enemies in front of them, making the atmosphere extremely tense.

"Kishishishi..."

at this time.

A strange laugh came.

"Whoosh..."

A group of bats fluttered their wings from the direction of the central castle.

Gion and the other Marines looked at it in confusion.

"Whoosh..." Then, a large number of shadow bats gathered in mid-air.

A tall, fat shadow figure formed before being instantly replaced by Gecko Moria’s figure: "Is this how fleet admiral Sengoku taught you etiquette?"

"If Marine really wants to tear up the agreement and take action against me, a Warlord of the Sea, then I will accept your shadow without mercy! "Kishishishi..."

It bared his fangs and was full of arrogance.

It seems not to be afraid of fighting Gion at all and is full of murderous intent.

"Gecko Moria!" Hina looked sharply.

Surprisingly, the person who came was Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Not surprisingly, this should be the ability of the opponent's Shadow-Shadow Fruit.

Gion, who was originally very stubborn and full of battle intent, sheathed her sword calmly and smiled softly: "I'm sorry, I was rude... I see a young and handsome swordsman here; it's inevitable that I want to challenge him!"

After she said that, she also winked at Luke in front of her.

At first, she wondered if something had happened to Gecko Moria.

But the moment she saw the other party appear, the doubts in her heart naturally dissipated immediately.

After all, people can fake it, but the ability of Shadow-Shadow Fruit cannot be faked.

"I also want to have an in-depth discussion with Vice Admiral Gion!"

The black sword returns to its sheath.

Luke's eyes were filled with awe-inspiring fighting spirit.

Although he knew very well that the woman in front of him must be as strong as an admiral, the other party just wanted to test his own strength, and she didn't take it seriously.

But Luke was not afraid.

Give him some more time.

Not to mention an Admiral candidate like Gion, even the Admiral, who truly represents the highest combat power of Marine Headquarters; he is confident that he can compete with them head-on.

"Wind Swordsman, Yasuo, right? I remember you!"

Holding the sword on her waist with one hand, Gion looked at the young swordsman and said with a smile: "I hope you are worthy of that black sword!"

As the top swordsman in the Marine, she naturally recognized the sword in Luke's hand.

Like her Konpira, a famous sword that ranks among the twenty-one famous swords, Shusui is also one of them.

Considering that Gecko Moria once fought against Kaido in Wano.

The origin of this sword is naturally self-evident.
