The Grand Line, the former domain of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Now the residents of the inhabited islands under the original rule of the Whitebeard Pirates have united to establish a country and joined the New World Government.
However, this country has just been established and many places are not perfect.
This country, like some of the kingdoms that joined the New World Government, is not economically and technologically developed.
For these kingdoms, the New World Government has proposed a series of support plans...
In exchange for releasing the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates from Impel Down, Ace gave up going to sea and established an adventure guild in the former Whitebeard Pirates' territory.
In a tall building on a residential island.
Marco hung up the phone with an ugly expression. Ace, who had just been in Wano Country, received news that Blackbeard would also rush to the battlefield in Wano Country, which made him very concerned.
"Brother Marco! What's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly!"
On the second floor of a tall building, Fia walked down the steps with a big belly. She looked at the frowning Marco and spoke curiously.
"Fia, nothing's wrong. Ace, that brat, said he might have to stay in Wano Country for a while!"
"This brat is going to be a father, but he is still so irritable. When he comes back, I will teach him a lesson like this!"
Marco spoke with a smile, but did not tell Fia the truth. He knew that Ace would never sit idly by and ignore Blackbeard's plans to rush to the battlefield in Wano.
If Fia knew the news that Ace was about to face Blackbeard, she would definitely be worried, as this would affect the fetus in her belly.
After all, Ace has already been defeated by Blackbeard once.
"It's okay! Brother Marco! If Ace calls Zong back again, tell him to be careful!" Fia smiled softly.
After a while!
Fia got up and walked up to the second floor, while Diamond Jozi, who had been staying with Marco just now, looked gloomy, "Marco, I think it is necessary for us to go to Wano Country!"
"Well! We can only kill this guy Tiqi!"
"But don't mention Tikki's matter to Fia, lest she worry about Ace's safety!" Marco nodded, with a very serious look on his face.
...
In a sea area of the New World, there is a pirate island called Hive.
"Get out of here, bastard Tikki!"
"Can't you understand people? Bastard Teach!"
On the street of the Pirate Island, Moonlight Moria roared angrily, casually grabbed an ordinary pirate from the Blackbeard Pirates, and killed him.
Moonlight Moria, the original king of the Shichibukai, was later defeated by the Straw Hats.
The Five Old Stars of the World Government received the news and wanted to kick Moriah out, so they sent Doflamingo, who was also King Shichibukai at the time, to secretly execute Moriah.
However, Moria was not killed by Doflamingo, and he escaped from Marineford.
"Blackbeard, get out of here!"
Seeing that Blackbeard refused to appear for a long time, Moriah became even more angry and released the zombie army he had cultivated and transformed.
Moria is a superhuman~Shadow Fruit user who can control other people's shadows by using his abilities.
Moria's zombie army is formed by stealing corpses from cemeteries around the world and then processing them.
The zombies in the zombie army are injected with shadow by Moria, so the zombies have some of the personality and combat abilities of the shadow master.
Of course, if a contract is made that leaves the original owner's nature, the memory of the original owner will be retained.
As the shadow of the corpse introduced by Moria merges with the corpse as time goes by, the zombie will gradually turn from rebellious at first to complete obedience.
Of course, Moria's zombies also have a weakness, which is salt.
"There are zombies! Run!"
"Go and inform the evil boss, we can't stop this guy!" The pirates of the Blackbeard Pirates on the street looked panicked.
On another part of the island, a group of pirates from the Blackbeard Pirates were gathering in a room.
"Lord King of Evil, something bad has happened!" Several pirates from the Blackbeard Pirates hurried into the room.
"What's going on! You're so noisy, believe it or not, I'm going to kill you!" The evil king showed anger.
When the Evil King roared, several pirates in the Blackbeard Pirates immediately trembled and did not dare to speak louder.
"The King of Evil, Lord King of Evil! The one who attacked the island was Moonlight Moria, the former King of the Shichibukai!" the pirate of the Blackbeard Pirates said in a trembling tone.
"Moonlight Moria, what is this guy doing here!" the evil king asked.
"Moonlight Moria, he just defeated everyone at the island's port!"
"He said he was looking for Lord Teach, and there was a pirate named Absalom, the transparent man from before!" the pirate from the Blackbeard Pirates responded.
"Hmm!" The evil king muttered.
The pirate mentioned the Transparent Man, and the Evil King suddenly remembered it, but he remembered that the guy was already dead.
...
Pirate Island, a place close to the interior.
"Lord Moria, I'm here..." Suddenly a voice came from the high platform, and Moria felt happy.
"Absalom, great, you are still alive!"
"I thought Blackbeard killed you and took away your abilities!"
"After all, the Blackbeard Pirates are famous esper hunters! They must also be spying on your Devil Fruit abilities!"
Moria smiled when he saw Absalom intact.
However, just when Moonlight Moria relaxed her vigilance, a sword energy suddenly flashed through.
The zombies around Moonlight Moria were chopped off by the sword energy, and even the back of Moonlight Moria left a hideous bloodstain.
Beside Moonlight Moria, Shiliu of the Rain suddenly appeared, holding a long knife in his hand and a lit cigar in his mouth. He took a deep breath with a cold look on his face.
"It's you, Shiliu of the Rain...that was the ability of the transparent fruit, the ability of Absalom..."
Moonlight Moria looked at Shiliu of the Rain with an expression of disbelief. Shiliu of the Rain just became invisible and then suddenly appeared. This was obviously Absalom's Devil Fruit ability.
"You guessed it right, Moonlight Moria!"
"Thanks to that guy, I got a pretty good ability!" Hiruzen Ame took a deep breath on his cigar and spoke in a deep voice.
Moonlight Moria was shocked. Yuzhiliu had obtained Absalom's ability. So Absalom is dead. The guy just now was...
Thinking of this, Moonlight Moria turned her eyes to Absalom, who had just greeted him.
Seeing the moonlight, Moria looked at her. Katarina released her Devil Fruit ability and looked at Moria with a mocking look on her face. "Moria, don't you like collecting corpses? I just happen to have that guy's corpse right here."
!”
Katarina, animal type ~ fantasy beast species ~ dog fruit ~ nine-tailed fox form, Katarina just used her devil fruit ability to transform into Absalom.
"Assholes! You damn guys!" Moonlight Moria's face was filled with anger, and his eyes were bloodshot.
