The bearing of a famous Marine officer!

Indeed, that was the case. When Vidal saw Moria run away again, he broke the necks of Makasi and Lusi’en without saying a word!

Not only that, but he also controlled the Tree World and killed all the dozens of low-level pirates who had come with Moria.

In this way, the shadow within Moria is now only the part that flew in from the port ship. It's truly an unknown who is stronger now, Vidal sneered repeatedly.

It's pitch black now, and no one from the outside can see what's happening inside. So even if it's a little ruthless, it doesn't matter much. After the fight, aside from Moria's situation, who cares whether the pirates below are dead or alive?

[Bang--]

"Ouch!" Moria was suddenly punched in the face in the darkness, followed by a kick to the abdomen. He tried to retaliate, but due to his severely impaired vision and Vidal's deliberate dodging, he could only fight against thin air.

[Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!]

With each heavy thud and painful groan, Moria had no choice but to give up on using Doppelman to transform into Shadow Blade and instead used Shadow Warrior to switch positions, trying to find a way out of this dark space. Otherwise, he would be unable to launch an effective counterattack or defense.

What should I do if I can't see it?!

But Vidal stayed close to him, giving him no time to think or react.

Due to the previous fierce battles, the mangrove roots beneath the surface of Grove 53 had long been exposed, so now the ground beneath your feet is covered with trees!

In this environment, he can use 'Anubis' at will. If Moria's Shadow Warrior is 'Flying Thunder God,' then his move is 'Shrinking the Earth to an Inch,' allowing him to appear from anywhere in an instant!

Moreover, Moria was completely unaware that the space was getting smaller and smaller.

Time passed slowly, and the entire Sabaody seemed to have returned to calm from the previous riots. Even the usually bustling amusement park became somewhat deserted, with most people waiting quietly for the outcome of the battle in Grove 53.

It's unclear how much time passed, but some people were the first to notice that the wooden cover in the image had stopped shrinking.

A rough visual estimate suggests that the battle space inside is only about 100 meters in diameter, indicating that the fight has likely entered its most brutal melee phase.

There is no room for evasion; only the strong will prevail when paths cross!

That night, everyone watching the live stream stayed up all night.

As the sun slowly rose above the horizon once more, and the sky gradually brightened at a visible speed, many drowsy men and women were suddenly awakened by a scream.

"It's open--"

"The wooden cover has been opened!!"

The sound was like a bucket of cold water poured over people's heads, causing them to all look up at the projection screen.

"It's really open." A young man with a camera hanging around his neck muttered to himself as he looked at the wooden cover opening to both sides in the picture.

Marineford, Sengoku had also been up all night dealing with Sengoku, also looked up instantly.

"Are you out yet?"

The Marine Admiral appeared remarkably calm, seemingly unconcerned about his disciple, yet his hand holding the pen trembled slightly.

At the same moment, Sora, Zephyr, Tsuru, Roger, Shiki, Big Mom, and even the Five Elders of Holy Land Mary Geoise were all waiting for the victor to appear on stage.

This isn't to say that the battle between Vidal and Moria was particularly important to them or had any significant impact on the world; it was more because they were bored.

Yes, it's boring. After all, while there are Image Den Den Mushi) in this world, there are no television movies.

Vidal's special public live broadcast provided these important figures with interesting television content.

But they also knew that the victor of this battle would become famous throughout the seas!

As the wooden dome swung open and retracted underground, people discovered that the enormous wooden figure and ox were gone. Most striking was the giant Yifuli lying in a pool of blood, seemingly dead.

But what everyone is more concerned about is the outcome between Vidal and Moria, even though he is the biggest.

As for Makasi and Lusi’en, well... they're probably drowning somewhere in a pool of blood, after all, the Giant Tribe bleed a lot.

"I saw it! I saw it!"

As the perspective slowly shifts, the two figures who have been the focus of attention finally reappear before the world.

Moria is lying down! Vidal is standing!

[Splash--]

The result sent shockwaves through the entire Sabaody Archipelago. Ordinary citizens cheered and embraced each other, celebrating the triumph of justice once again. Meanwhile, the dark forces hidden among the crowd were all visibly shaken, for they knew that from this moment on, Vidal's influence in Sabaody would reach its zenith!

All forces that feel they lack or are unable to muster combat power stronger than Gecko Moria must obediently submit to the Navy's control.

In short, if you can't overturn the table, then you have to play by the rules set by Vidal!

Chaos had broken out at the World Economy News Paper Office. The editor-in-chief was loudly urging his staff to write reports as quickly as possible, and then select the best one to publish in a second issue!

"Call--"

Vidal looked at the unconscious Moria at his feet and let out a sigh of relief. It was finally over. Although this battle wasn't as long as the one at Byrnndi World, it was just as difficult.

Outsiders might not know that he looked extremely disheveled before the wooden cover was opened.

His body was covered in bruises, blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth, and his shirt was tattered. This was all because Moria had suddenly Awakening his Observation Haki in a desperate situation, which made his 'eyes' open again. Unfortunately, it was too late; the wooden shield had already closed.

The remaining space was insufficient for him to use Shadow Warrior again, or even for Doppelman to operate; it could only transform into Shadow Blade, becoming a simple weapon.

Even so, the swordsman's powerful close-combat skills caused Vidal considerable injury.

Fortunately, his physical skills and Haki were superior to Moria's, otherwise he might not be the one standing here now.

Now, he has emerged after some preparation, such as using Photosynthetic Energy to heal his injuries, and then removing his shirt to reveal his muscular chest.

As for the Justice Coat he was wearing, it was a very powerful item; even in the most intense collisions, it wouldn't fall off automatically or be easily damaged.

Of course, the most important thing is to get into the right pose!

With his right foot planted on Moria's face, now back to his normal size, he faced the distant Den Den Mushi with his most handsome profile, his expression cold and resolute. Finally, he put his hands in his pockets, exuding an air of complete ease.

This is the demeanor of a world-renowned naval officer!

Moreover, as a backdrop, besides the enormous Yifuli, hundreds of dark shadows flew in all directions above him as the wooden dome opened.

Dozens of these directions lead directly to Marineford!

Inside the Justice Fortress, Cornell watched with delight as his shadow swiftly returned to his feet. Apart from him, all the marines who had lost their shadows in the battle against the John Pirates had regained them.

Some people even cautiously touched the bright sunshine streaming down from the sky. When they found it warm and there was nothing wrong, they were overjoyed and walked out of the fortress laughing wildly. As they laughed, tears streamed down their faces. Cornell was one of them.

Finally finished! Whew, I feel so much more relaxed now.
