Thousand Shadow Giant Moria!

Ghost Princess disappears instantly.

Brook and the four Titans also quickly recovered from the negative state of the "Negative Ghost".

But with four giants and a skeleton around, everyone felt incredibly ashamed of their previous negative remarks.

For a moment, no one spoke; the surroundings were deathly silent.

Finally, it was Storm who spoke, breaking the silence.

"Brogy, Dorry, these two must be Kashi and Oimo, right?"

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Red Ogre Brogy, who had been directly called out by Storm, let out a loud laugh to cover up his embarrassment.

"Storm! I never expected to run into you here!"

"Dorry! Say something too!"

"Eek gak gak gak!"

Blue Ogre Dorry also let out a dry laugh, patting the shoulders of the two giants beside him.

"Kashi, Oimo! This is Vongola Storm! He's our benefactor!"

"Lord Storm!" x2

Kashi and Oimo called out respectfully in unison.

These two giants had already heard the whole story from Captain Brogy and Dorry.

They also knew that the reason Captain Brogy and Dorry suddenly appeared at Enies Lobby was because a "Captain" had told them about how the two fools had been deceived by the World Government.

Neither Kashi nor Oimo could have imagined that their encounter with their benefactor would come so soon.

And...

All four giants were saved by their benefactor once.

Hello.

Storm nodded to Kashi and Oimo, then pointed to Brook standing to the side.

"This is Brook, a friend I just met."

"Greetings, gentlemen of giants."

Brook removed his top hat, politely introduced himself, and then eagerly offered his praise.

"They really are giants! In all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen a real giant! Woohoo!"

"A talking skeleton? Crackling sounds!"

Red Ogre Brogy couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw Brook's appearance.

"How interesting! It seems that if you live long enough, you can see all kinds of creatures."

"Yo ho ho ho! I'd love to say that too."

Brook looked at the giants curiously and said with a smile.

"I wish I could have that much muscle... even though I don't have any!"

Just as the skeletons and giants got to know each other.

Meanwhile, the reclusive, overweight man (just kidding) Gecko Moria, who lives deep within his castle, also received a report from his subordinates at this time.

"What?! A White Dragon flew to the Thriller Bark?"

By observing the iconic Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Gecko Moria had already guessed the identity of the newcomer.

"Is that the new brat, White Dragon? What's that guy doing on my turf?"

Gecko Moria raised his right hand, and viscous black shadows gushed from his body like liquid, quickly transforming into black bats that flew out of his castle.

Black shadowy bats swept across the sky above the Thriller Bark, quickly arriving at the Death Forest, the place where the five "giants" had gathered.

The shadowy bats merged together, eventually forming a black shadow that was exactly the same shape as Gecko Moria.

[Shadow Warrior]!

The next moment, the shadow and the original body swapped positions.

Gecko Moria's true form appeared directly in the Forest of Death.

"One, two, three, four... five?"

Gecko Moria was taken aback when he looked at Storm's tall and imposing figure.

When did the fifth giant appear?

"Wait! You're that newcomer who recently joined the Shichibukai — White Dragon?"

The appearance of the Shichibukai silenced Brook and the four Titans.

Storm calmly looked at Gecko Moria, his size instantly shrinking from over twenty meters tall to about seven meters, roughly the same height as Gecko Moria.

"Gecko Moria, why did you attack my 'friend'?"

"Friends? Hehehehe!"

Gecko Moria glanced at the four giants and a skeleton beside him, then let out a piercing laugh.

Who do you think you are, White Dragon!

"Now I'll take your shadow too!"

Gecko Moria raised his right hand, and countless small shadow bats emerged from his shadow, quickly gathering together to form a giant spear with a very peculiar shape.

The spearhead of this shadowy spear was not prismatic or blade-shaped, but rather resembled a black, pointed lizard!

"Go! Horn Blade Shadow!"

The black spear, composed of shadows, pierced through the air with a sharp whistling sound, seemingly moving at incredible speed.

Even a giant standing in front of this black spear would have his body pierced through by this "shadow spear".

But for Storm...

"Slow... too slow!"

Storm calmly dodged Gecko Moria's "Horn Blade Shadow".

He moved with the ease of a leisurely stroll, yet with incredible speed, arriving before Gecko Moria in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Gecko Moria was still in the same pose he had just used to unleash "Horn Blade Shadow".

'Nani--'

Out of the corner of his eye, Gecko Moria caught a glimpse of Storm approaching.

However, given his reflexes, he didn't even realize when the other person had approached.

Naturally.

Gecko Moria was also unaware of Storm's sudden swing of his right fist.

Storm approached Gecko Moria and swung his right fist directly at him.

It was just an ordinary fist, not wrapped in any Armament Haki; it was simply covered with a layer of ordinary clay.

But it was still a powerful move.

Clay Giant Fist!

Bang!

Storm's right fist slammed heavily into Gecko Moria's stomach.

The fist collided with the abdomen, producing a dull thud.

Storm's right fist was seen to be deeply embedded in Gecko Moria's stomach, and white shockwaves burst out and spread in all directions.

'The power of that punch...'

Gecko Moria's eyes widened as he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

His body involuntarily curled up inwards, and a mouthful of bright red blood spurted from between his crisscrossing, shark-like teeth before he was sent flying backwards.

Crack! Crack! Crack! -- Boom!

The enormous size of Gecko Moria smashed through countless trees in the Forest of Death, the sound of breaking trees echoing endlessly.

Even with the trees of the Death Forest as a barrier.

Gecko Moria continued flying for hundreds of meters before finally stopping, crashing heavily to the ground and creating a crater in the earth beneath the Thriller Bark.

"Pfft--Wow!"

The moment he landed, Gecko Moria coughed up another mouthful of blood, his clothes stained with blood and dust, looking utterly disheveled.

The power of White Dragon's punch...

It seems that Gecko Moria was transported to Wano Country more than a decade ago.

So many years have passed...

It's been so many years since I've felt this kind of pain!

"Kaido... Kaido!!"

Gecko Moria suddenly roared to the sky.

But the person he yelled at wasn't Storm, who had just hit him.

It was Beasts Kaido, who had defeated him before!

I will definitely kill you!

Gecko Moria lowered his head, his bloodshot eyes staring intently at Storm like a vengeful ghost from hell.

"White Dragon! As long as I get your shadow, I will definitely be able to take revenge on Kaido!"

Storm followed the trajectory of Gecko Moria and arrived before the "Shadow Ruler".

But what the other person said still made him laugh involuntarily.

"What exactly did Beasts Kaido do that you can't forget about him?"

Storm stepped forward and looked coldly at Gecko Moria.

"A spineless dog that has long since had its spine broken dares to bark and howl in front of me!"

Gecko Moria didn't understand the meaning of that trash talk, but he could tell that the brat White Dragon was mocking him.

Gecko Moria, who was already furious, was now even more enraged.

"I'm going to turn you into a zombie!"

Gecko Moria roared.

"Shadows Assembled!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Under Gecko Moria's manipulation of the Shadow- Shadow-Shadow Fruit, the surrounding shadows continuously converged towards his location and merged directly into his body.

And as the shadows continue to converge.

Gecko Moria's size also expanded continuously, like an inflating balloon.

The already enormous "Shadow Ruler" expanded to several times its original size in just a few breaths, reaching a height of nearly tens of meters.

"Not enough... not enough..."

As the shadow continued to be injected, Gecko Moria's mental state seemed to become increasingly chaotic.

Even so, Gecko Moria continued to demand other shadows.

"Shadows... the giant's shadows... all the shadows... come here!"

Under Storm's silent gaze.

Four enormous shadows, unlike any other shadows, merged directly into Gecko Moria's body.

Without a doubt.

These four shadows come from the Red Ogre Brogy, the Blue Ogre Dorry, Kashi, and Oimo, respectively!

These are the shadows of four giants!

After absorbing the shadow of the giant.

Gecko Moria's already enormous size expanded rapidly once again.

This time.

Gecko Moria's size directly exceeded 100 meters!

Standing a hundred meters tall, coupled with Gecko Moria's already ferocious and terrifying appearance, he looked exactly like a demon from mythology!

"You went through all that trouble just to transform?"

Storm raised his head and looked at Gecko Moria, who was now a hundred meters tall, and unleashed the power of the Clay- Clay Fruit.

"Me too!"

The power of the Eight-Star [Clay Fruit] was unleashed without reservation.

Storm's size also expanded rapidly.

In the blink of an eye.

Storm's physique also reached a height of 100 meters.

Two giants, each a hundred meters tall, stood together on the land of the Thriller Bark!

This is the latest third update in history... apparently.

There will be more tonight.
