One Piece: The Half-Blood Ninja Who Hides on the Straw Hat Ship

Chapter 97 Moria, with a grave expression, is actually a ninja who knows escape techniques?!

Chapter 97 Moria, with a grave expression, is actually a ninja who knows escape techniques?!

Inside the tallest building on the Devil's Triangle, Moria was sitting on his huge sofa, chuckling as he looked at the two 'corpses' on the ground.

"Hehehe~"

"I love the shadow of the strong the most."

As they spoke, Moria took out the Straw Hat Pirates' wanted posters, looking at them as he said, "This is Pirate Hunter Zoro, and this is..."

"Um?"

"Who is this blond guy?"

Looking at the abstract sketch on the wanted poster, a question mark popped into Moria's head.

He glanced down at Sanji lying on the ground and asked疑惑地问道, "Is it this guy?"

"But they don't look alike at all..."

The difference is too big; the guy below clearly looks better.

"Lord Moria, this guy is the only one in the entire Straw Hat Pirates with blond hair," said the rat spider.

They observed the pirates from the shadows and found that only this guy matched the description on the bounty poster.

"Is that so? Then it seems to be this guy." Moria nodded.

Although he didn't know why the portrait was so abstract, it didn't concern him; it was just a source of material for the image.

After casually tossing the bounty poster aside, Moria waved his hand and said, "Same as always, throw them back."

"yes!"

The rat-like zombies chuckled, lifted the two "household bodies," and left quickly.

"How's it going on with Absalom?" Moria asked.

"Lord Absalom has been out of danger thanks to Lord Hogback's treatment, but it's unclear when he will regain consciousness," the squirrel zombie said.

"Is that so...?" Moria frowned. "It seems this group is indeed very strong."

They actually managed to knock Absalom unconscious; no wonder they're a pirate crew with a total bounty of 10 billion.

After thinking for a moment, Moria said, "Then let Hogback and Perona come to see me. I plan to activate Zombie Number 900."

The Straw Hat Phantom's bounty has reached a staggering 420 million; his shadow could definitely control a corpse as powerful as Oars's!

As for that ninja...

Hmph, let's use him to collect some interest first.

"Lord Hogback is on his way," the squirrel zombie said. "He sent us to inform you first."

"As for Lady Perona..."

Before the squirrel zombie could finish speaking, Perona's laughter could be heard.

"Halaharahara~"

"Lord Moria, I've arrived~"

Upon hearing that it was Perona who had arrived, Moria's face lit up with a kind smile, but considering that this was not in keeping with his status, he restrained himself somewhat.

After waving to signal the squirrel zombie to get to work, Moria said, "Perona, you've come at the perfect time."

"Join me in witnessing the moment when Number 900 is resurrected."

"Hehehehe!"

"Halaharahara~"

"Yes, Lord Moria~" Perona nodded with a smile as she landed on the ground.

Then, she glanced at the wanted poster on the table, and her expression gradually became serious.

"But before that, there is something I need to report to Lord Moria."

"Um?"

"Speak."

Seeing Perona's expression, a hint of curiosity appeared in Moria's eyes.

This little girl, whom he raised like a daughter, usually seems so carefree. Why is she so serious today?

"You probably know that there are ninjas in the Straw Hat Pirates, right?" Perona said.

As she spoke, she picked out west Yan's bounty poster and placed it in front of Moria.

Moria glanced at west Yan's bounty poster and nodded, saying, "Yes, of course I know."

This is also why he was angry earlier; this guy is most likely a ninja from Wano Country!

"Lord Moria, we absolutely cannot underestimate this man!" Perona said earnestly, "His strength is terrifying."

"oh?""

"How so?" Moria said with a chuckle.

Seeing that Moria didn't seem to care much, Perona said, "Lord Moria, please be serious."

"Okay, okay, I'll be more serious," Moria said helplessly.

The squirrel zombie standing nearby, witnessing this scene, thought to itself, "Just keep spoiling her..."

If they spoke to Lord Moria like that, they'd probably get smashed to pieces.

"I'm not joking, this person is really powerful," Perona said. "He can unleash incredibly terrifying flames in an instant, the temperature of which can even melt General Zombie's armor."

"Spitting out flames?"

Moria's expression gradually turned serious; none of the ninjas he had encountered in the past possessed such abilities.

The guys I met in Wano Country were mostly just playing around with all sorts of strange and unusual weapons.

But this guy can use fire... Is it the legendary Fire Release technique?

"Yes, it spewed out flames!" Perona nodded and said, "Those flames were terrifying. In the blink of an eye, they covered a large area. Their power was incredibly terrifying."

"Those zombie generals you awakened before... they've all died..."

As if recalling the scene from just moments ago, Perona instinctively shuddered, her eyes filled with utter terror. "They're all dead?"

Moria jumped to his feet, feeling as if his heart was bleeding. That was the wealth he had painstakingly accumulated over the years!

"Yes, everyone who came to the animal zombie park died."

Hearing Perona's words, Moria's expression brightened, and he sat down again, saying, "The batch that went to your side..."

"So it seems not everyone is dead."

"ah?""

"I had the Zombie General split into two groups and send them to two different areas to intercept them," Moria explained. "That's about half of them."

The loss of half the population was enough to make him feel the pinch.

That despicable ninja!

"Even if half of us survive, it's meaningless...::::," Perona said. "If we encounter that ninja, we'll still be burned to death."

That terrifying fire technique could burn John and his group to death, so it could certainly burn others as well.

"That is indeed a problem," Moria said, frowning.

Ninjas who can use Fire Release techniques are natural enemies of zombies.

"Damn it, Kaido sent this guy to mess with me on purpose!" Moria thought to himself, annoyed.

Was it that bastard who sent people to sabotage me after finding out I was researching zombies here?

Damn Kaido!

Thinking of this, Moria said, "Don't worry, Perona, I will personally take him down if necessary."

A ninja with Fire Release techniques may suddenly become very powerful, but that doesn't mean he can be defeated.

He didn't even care about the mere 400 million bounty.

"Yes, Lord Moria," Perona said with a sigh of relief.

Since Lord Moria is willing to take action personally, the problem can definitely be solved.

After all... this one is an incredibly powerful Shichibukai!

Just then, the zombie spider ran out of the tunnel, carrying a box on its head.

"Damn it, who is it? Let me go!" Luffy shouted angrily.

Luffy was furious. He was about to rush into the backyard when he was tied up by something and couldn't break free.

"Aiga~"

The lid was opened, revealing Luffy inside.

The moment Luffy saw the light, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "Damn it, I can finally see the light!"

With a powerful leap, Luffy jumped out of the box, but because he was tied up, his jumping ability was limited, and his legs tripped on the box, causing him to fall flat on the ground.

"bump!"

Seeing Luffy fall face-first into the air, Perona's lips twitched, and she said, "Who... is this now?"

"Lady Perona, this is Luffy, the Straw Hat Pirates captain," the rat spider chuckled.

"Then why is he wearing the Zombie General's armor?"

"This..." the rat-spider said awkwardly, "I don't know either."

Although he watched the other person put on the armor, he had no idea why the other person was wearing it, and he couldn't understand the other person's behavior at all.

"What do you know?!" Luffy raised his head and said, "This is a man's romance!!"

Seeing such a teacher-like Kai Shen, wouldn't it be a waste not to wear his armor?

Perona:

Sorry, she really doesn't understand this stuff.

Is romance for men real?

Upon hearing this, a hint of reminiscence flashed in Moria's eyes, as if he were recalling some beautiful scenes from the past.

However, these scenes were quickly disrupted by Kaido's appearance, which immediately darkened his expression.

"Hang him up!"

"yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the rats and spiders immediately rushed over, intending to hang Luffy up.

"How could we possibly let you succeed?!"

Luffy roared and crawled across the ground like a worm at incredible speed!

"Quick, grab him!"

"profound!"

A group of rat-spider swarmed forward, intending to capture Luffy again, but this time Luffy had learned his lesson and wouldn't let them catch him, which drove the rat-spider crazy.

"Um?"

"What on earth is this thing?"

Hogback, who had just reached the door, paused for a moment, looking at Luffy wriggling on the ground with a puzzled expression and his eyes filled with confusion.

"Clearly, this is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Straw Hat Luffy," Sindori said coldly.

Didn't you see the straw hat he was wearing?

"Ah, it's Luffy, the Straw Hat Boy..."

"Oh no!!"

"Straw Hat Luffy?!"

Hogback looked shocked. This guy on the ground, looking like an insect, was none other than Straw Hat Luffy?

"Ah, you've come, Hogback," Moria said. "How long until Absalom wakes up?"

"Him..." Hogback said with a headache, "Given his constitution, he should wake up within a day."

"But Lord Moria, I feel it's necessary to modify this guy's brain a bit, and I hope to get your approval."

At this point, Hogback said with a very serious expression, "Otherwise, he might get beaten up again next time for being a womanizer."

"Hehehe, don't be so strict, Hogback," Moria laughed. "Everyone has bad habits, and Absalom's behavior isn't a big problem."

"In the end... it's because the pirate crew he encountered this time was rather special; otherwise, with his strength, he wouldn't have suffered a loss."

Who would have thought that in a place like the Grand Line, you could encounter a pirate crew with a total bounty of over 10 billion Berries?

Even he hadn't expected this, let alone Absalom.

"Well, fine," Hogback sighed.

Since Lord Moria has said so, what else can he say?

"Hehehe, it's a bit of a shame Absalom can't come, but there's no need to wait any longer." Moria stood up and said, "It's time to activate Zombie Number 900!"

"oh!"

"Is it finally starting?!"

Hogback revealed an excited expression. He had personally dealt with this zombie, so he naturally knew how powerful its body was.

If you add the shadow of his 420 million Berry bounty, he would definitely become an incredibly powerful zombie warrior!!

"That's right!" Moria exclaimed excitedly, "With this, I'm one step closer to becoming the Pirate King! Hehehehe!"

"Um?"

These words seemed to trigger some kind of switch for Luffy, immediately stopping him. He looked up angrily at Moria and said, "I'm the one who's going to become the Pirate King!!"

As he spoke, Luffy struggled to his feet, kicking the two rat-spiders away, and said, "You fat garlic head, there's no way I'll give you the title of Pirate King!"

"Fat...fat garlic?!"

All the zombies in the room stared at Luffy in horror, never expecting him to say something like that.

But Moria wasn't angry. He just laughed and said, "Kid, you're a prisoner now. Where do you get the nerve to say such things?"

How dare you say such things when you've been caught by a few weak mice and spiders?

They're not afraid of being laughed at.

"Hmph, I will defeat you!" Luffy said.

After saying that, he lay down again without hesitation and rushed towards the gate, clearly intending to leave first.

With your body bound, it's impossible to defeat your opponent. You can only fight after finding a partner to break free from their control.

"I'll do it."

Perona shook her head helplessly, then released several small ghosts, saying, "Negative Ghosts!!"

"go!!"

"Buzz~"

Several small ghosts flew out of Perona's body and rushed towards Luffy at an extremely fast speed.

"Oh no, it's this again...:"

Before Luffy could finish speaking, he was pierced through by the Negative Specter.

"Forehead..

Luffy, who had been full of fighting spirit, immediately became extremely depressed, curled up on the ground, and said, "I'm sorry... If there is an afterlife, I would rather be a sea worm..."

Hogback:

Just a moment ago he was talking about becoming the Pirate King, and now he wants to be a sea worm?

Perona's Devil Fruit power... is indeed terrifying.

Thinking of this, Hogback glanced at Perona and subconsciously swallowed.

Even if a ghost girl with the Ghost-Ghost Fruit only enjoys playing pranks, she is still a terrifying threat to others.

"Halaharahara~"

Perona laughed heartily, extremely pleased with her masterpiece.

Apart from that terrifying ninja, everyone else could only become Perona's playthings. Aharaharahara. Just then, Kumasi ran out of the corridor, looking somewhat flustered.

"Oh?"

"Kumasi, you're here," Perona said with a smile. "Did you convey my message about informing them to move the treasure?"

She had just specifically asked Kumasi to inform those small zombies to search for treasure on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship, but she didn't know if they had gotten it or not.

"Uh-huh!"

"Don't talk, Kumashi!" Perona glared at her. "That's not cute!"

Kumasi: ...

If we don't let him speak, how can he report problems?

"Good girl, that's more like it~" Perona nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, come here and witness the birth of Number 900 with me."

After saying that, Perona ignored Kumasi and floated back to Moria's side on her own.

"Sing..."

Kumashi cautiously approached Perona, intending to tell her what had happened, but Perona snapped at him, "Don't bother me, Kumashi!"

"yes......

.

"Don't speak!"

Kumasi: ....

Seeing Kumasi's pitiful state, Hogback said, "Perona, you're being too harsh on him. I think he's about to cry."

"Shut up, he's my subordinate!" Perona glared at her.

Kumasi's voice is too rough; it makes him unlovable when he speaks!

Hogback: .....

This willful little girl... Oh well, he's not the one being bullied anyway.

Kumasi felt like crying when he saw Perona's willful expression.

Several people were hiding behind him. He really wanted to tell his master, but they wouldn't let him speak. He felt so desperate.

"Phew...we seem to have arrived at some incredible place," said Nami, who was hidden inside Kumashi's body.

After leaving Xiyan, the four of them went to find a way out, but on the way they encountered a group of terrifying zombies.

In a panic, he crawled into the body of a furry zombie named Kumasi and barely escaped death.

"Speak in a lower voice."

"I know!"

"I think I heard Luffy's voice."

The group carefully unzipped Kumasi's back, peeked out, and were immediately shocked by what they saw.

Luffy was hanging in mid-air, while his shadow was torn off the ground by Moria and then cut off with a pair of scissors!

"Click~"

With a muffled groan, Luffy's head lolled to the side and he lost consciousness. Seeing this, the four of them immediately showed expressions of horror.

"road,

Usopp swiftly covered Merry's mouth and pulled her back into Kumashi's body.

"Um?"

"Kumashi, you're not allowed to speak!"

Kumasi:

He really didn't say a single word!

"Hehehehe."

Moria, clutching Luffy's shadow, laughed loudly and said, "With this, Oars can be resurrected, hehehehe!"

"Lord Moria, what should we do with Straw Hat Luffy?" the Rat Spider asked. "Should we just throw him back onto their ship like we did with Blackleg and the Pirate Hunter?"

"That's right, but don't let them die," Moria laughed. "Otherwise, the shadows will disappear."

"Hehehe~"

If the owners of these shadows were to die, the shadows would also disappear, which is not what he wants to see.

So these guys, better to keep living, hehehehe!

"Yes!" said the rat-spider.

After saying that, he picked Luffy up and quickly ran towards the tunnel in the distance.

Usopp, hiding inside Kumashi's body, heard the commotion outside and instinctively said, "Zoro and Sanji too..."

In other words, will all those who have lost their shadows be thrown back onto the ship?

Peeking outside, he spotted the rat-spider that had led Luffy into the tunnel.

Seeing this, Usopp's expression turned serious.

"If I don't die... that's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune," Usopp murmured to himself.

This at least gives us a chance to fight back!

"Usopp, should I summon Westfire?" Merry suddenly asked in a low voice.

Luffy's shadow has been cut off by the enemy. Are they going to summon Xiyan to start a battle now?

"No, let's go back and find Luffy and the others first," Usopp said. "Then we'll come back and retrieve the shadow."

It's unclear whether the general zombies in Xiyan have been wiped out, and it's also unclear how many zombies of this level there are on this island.

So let's go back and wake Luffy and the others up first.

"That's right." Nami nodded and said, "I agree with Usopp's idea."

Given Xi Yan's personality, once summoned, he would definitely start a war with Moria immediately!

Nobody knows what will happen then.

So let's play it safe and start the team fight once everyone is ready.

"Usopp, get the smoke bombs ready."

"profound!"

"Hehehehe~" Moria, holding Luffy's shadow, laughed loudly and said, "Let's go, let's go to the cold storage room."

As he spoke, Moria strode toward the door, startling Nami and the others so much that they held their breath and dared not even make a sound.

"Yes, Lord Moriah!"

"Roar roar roar roar roar~"

"Halaharahara~"

Two high-ranking officers under Moria followed behind him downstairs.

Soon, the group arrived at the cold storage room and saw the enormous corpse that had been sealed away for a long time—Oz, who held the title of the thief of the kingdom!

That enormous body, like a prehistoric beast, still sends shivers down your spine even in death!

This scene left Nami and her three companions utterly horrified.

"What... what is this?!"
