Chapter 212: The Dawn of Hope

"Straw hat boy, do you see? Because it's a partner, it's going to be lost if it's alive, and if it's a zombie that's dead, there's nothing to lose, that's why you're just as lonely as me now, but the mood is completely different, understand? A sucker! Hey-hee-hee-hee! Looking at Luffy with anger on his face, Moria smirked.

"You who can only make these poor zombies out of shadows, what else do you have besides these zombies? Those ridiculous ways to control shadows? What qualifications do you have to covet the throne of One Piece? One Piece can only be mine! Luffy, who finally regained his original body size again, looked at the smug Moriah and roared with an angry face.

"I don't deserve to be the King of the Pirates? You actually say I'm not worthy of being One Piece? I'm Moria, who once fought for territory with the Beast Kaido in the New World, and the world government has taken my prestige and used the position of the king of the Seven Martial Seas to win me over, what qualifications do you have to say this about me! Feeling provoked, Moria swung his giant palm again and smashed Luffy, who was standing stiffly in place because of the long battle and accepting a hundred shadows, to the ground with a punch.

"Say, who's the next One Piece?" Putting his hand around Luffy's neck and holding him up in the air, Moria asked with a smug expression.

"Monchi D. Luffy!" Luffy, who was gasping for breath and spitting out these words, swung his fist and smashed it on Moria's face.

"Say, who has the qualifications to be the next One Piece!" Ignoring Luffy's powerless fist, Moriah, who smashed Luffy back to the ground and lifted it up again, asked with an angry face.

"Monchi D. Luffy!" Luffy, who couldn't help coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood, although his body was no longer able to move, still stared at Moria fiercely with stubborn eyes, and spit out his name vaguely.

"Bastard, one last chance, tell me who will be the One Piece! Straw Hat Boy, this is your last chance to live! Moria, who pressed Luffy's head and slapped him into the ground and stepped on it a few times, lifted Luffy, who was already a little confused, up again, and asked with murderous eyes.

"Ahem, of course it's me Monchi D* Luffy! I made an appointment with Shanks, I'm going to be the man of the One Piece! Luffy, who was already unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes that were about to close, and shouted the slogan he had been talking about again.

"Damn, bastard! Your confident eyes really make me angry, I haven't seen the horror of the new world, do you understand the horror of that sea? Don't shout out this kind of thing that shouldn't be the target of an ant like you. I'm going to wake you up completely today, you dreaming garbage! Thinking of his life in the Devil's Triangle like a turtle in the past few years, looking at his already depraved figure, and feeling that he was poked in the sore spot by Luffy, Moria, who was annoyed and wanted to immediately get rid of this cowardly and depraved guy who shone all his cowardice and depravity like a mirror. Moria, who smashed Luffy into the ground again, waved her fist over and over again as if she was venting, and hit Luffy who was already unconscious.

"Straw Hat Boy!"

"Star of Hope!"

Looking at the Straw Hats who were finally wiped out by Moria and Luffy, who is still being ravaged by Moria, the pirates of the Shadowless Alliance fell to their knees in pain, and a counterattack from the cauldron ultimately failed? Looking at the dawn that began to scatter from the sky on the sea in the distance, they finally couldn't help but shed tears of pain after only a fog but could never embrace the sun.

"The Straw Hat Boys have all been defeated by Moria, what else can we do? After so many years, it's hard to come across such a powerful pirate group, my God! Can't you have pity on us poor people? Give us a little right to enjoy your compassionate sunshine! Listening to Moria's mad laughter, the group of people who felt that Luffy had no way to live couldn't help but curse their unfair fate.

"Bastard, what are you doing? It's just a failure, not the end of the world. We have endured it for so many years, are we afraid to wait a few more years? As long as we yearn for the light, the thick fog and dark forest can't hide our hope, the Straw Hat Pirates have already worked hard, we are just a little bit of luck. It's ridiculous that Moriah is so terrible, it's ridiculous that we can defeat him with just our bunch of waste, and if it weren't for the Straw Hat Boys, we wouldn't have been able to figure out Moria's hole cards. Next time, we will be able to defeat Moria and reclaim our shadow! Looking at his subordinates with decadent and desperate faces, Laura and her younger brother, Brother Squirrel Kei, stood on a gravel and cheered loudly.

"Sister Laura, it's useless! We've offended Moria this time, and he won't let us go! And you're talking about pirates who are even better than the Straw Hat Pirates, and by the time we get there, I'll probably be dead on this damn island. I want to give up, so let me hug this warm dawn one last time! With a wry smile on his face, Lola shook his head, and a shadowless man in despair ran desperately towards a beam of sunlight that shot through the fog and shone in, and then turned into a cloud of ash with a relieved face in his hoarse roar.

"Kano! You idiot, why are you doing this? We've endured it for so many years, and you're a bastard who just abandoned us? You coward! Not even as good as a woman! Looking at Kona, who had disappeared in the sunlight, Laura fell to her knees on the gravel with tears on her face and roared loudly. Looking at the vanishing Xiang Wu and the crying Lola, the other shadowless ones collapsed to the ground numbly, and looked blankly at Moria who kept swinging his fists not far away.

"Hahaha, trash, do you see? Maybe that's your way of liberation, as for the hope of reclaiming the shadow from me, Lord Moria? Hey-hee-hee-hee! The Straw Hat Pirates are your role model, and no matter how high the bounty is, the pirates will be caught in the hands of me, Lord Moria. Now that the bastards who dared to provoke me have been wiped out, are you ready to accept the sanctions of my Lord Moria? Glancing at the unformed Straw Hat Boy who had been beaten by herself, Moria slowly straightened up and stood up, baring her hideous fangs at the already numb Shadowless.

"Looks like we're going to have a break today, Moria, do you think we're going to be afraid of you? Since there is no way back today, let's go to death together! Are the Squirrel Guy brothers ready? With a resolute face pulling out the double knives behind his back, Laura looked at the squirrel base brothers behind him and shouted.

"Ready, Sister Laura, it's our honor to be able to fight and die with you in this life! Aim beyond the Magic Triangle and move forward! With a shout from the Squirrel Brothers, the crew of the Lola Pirates shouted slogans and pulled desperately at the chains attached to a huge wheel on the tower, which was the rudder that controlled the terrifying three-masted schooner.

"Laura, what are you going to do? Are you crazy? We're going to die! Looking at the approaching boundary of the Magic Triangle, all the pirates who didn't want to die like this shouted wildly.

"Oh? Want to drag me into the water? It's a pity that what I lost was just a batch of shadows, but what you lost was your life, hehehehe! It's a choice that I like Moriah-sama. Looking at the Shadowless Ones screaming in terror as they fled towards the gloomy forest, Moriah burst out laughing.

"Since the light of the dawn does not shine on us, let us go after it! Maybe Xiang Wu is right, we have been in the dark for so long that we have lost the courage to follow the dawn, and today no matter what, I will give an explanation to the Straw Hat Boys and the gang that we are involved in, and move forward to the Lola Pirates! ”

"Forward!" Looking at Sister Lola, who was holding two knives and fearless of Moria, the Squirrel Brother also shouted excitedly.

"I already know your heart for the sun! Laura now takes you and my companions to hide in the gloomy forest, and I'll take care of the rest! Trust me, the dawn is just around the corner! Just as Laura was about to challenge Moria with her mantis arm in the car, a warm and sunny girl suddenly came out of the tower behind her. As a pile of rubble on the tower suddenly cracked and scattered, a heroic woman with blonde hair and golden skirt armor, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, walked out of the gap in the tower.
