Moke Makes His Move

The seawater surged up under his power and headed towards the Gold City.

"The ability can also be applied to seawater?"

Everyone was greatly shocked.

If I suddenly recall, the captain once said that Paramecia abilities can affect any object. Even seawater, which is their natural enemy, is no exception.

For example, the Big Mom... she can create a special kind of seawater Homies by infusing her soul into seawater.

"Hehehehe..."

Shiki laughed again, quite pleased with the expressions on the three men's faces. His Devil Fruit Ability had long since reached the Awakening level.

It is entirely possible to control seawater using seawater.

"Click click..."

But the Shiki's smile froze instantly. The surging waves were instantly Ice Seal. He was completely dumbfounded...

It wasn't that he was inexperienced; rather, it was precisely because he had witnessed such situations before.

My mind was a little slow to process what was happening.

"Aokiji???"

Indeed, upon seeing this ability, Shiki immediately thought of the current Fleet Admiral Aokiji. However, this is the New World, and the location is the territory of the Fifth Emperor, Moke.

What's this guy doing here???

That's absolutely impossible!

Most importantly, the two sides are on the wrong footing!

"Tsk tsk..."

"Hehe..."

Meanwhile, Enel, Issho, and Shiryu couldn't help but reveal meaningful expressions. They understood that their captain had returned.

"Call..."

At the port of Gold City, Moke breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he arrived in time and quickly found a beverage shop in the city, from which he obtained ice.

This allowed him to gain the ability to Ice Seal at the last moment, Ice Seal the waves stirred up by the Shiki. If he had been any slower, the losses to the Gold City would have been enormous.

Moke looked up at the Shiki flying low, his eyes narrowing slightly. Then, he bent his legs slightly, exerted a sudden burst of strength, and soared into the air.

He then approached the Shiki, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

No matter who you are, anyone who dares to touch his Gold City will pay the price. Kaido is an example of this, Big Mom is an example of this, and the Shiki before us will be no exception.

"Oh? It's you..."

The Shiki recognized Moke immediately, and his brow furrowed slightly. He had come intending to extort a large sum of Beli from Moke.

It wasn't that he was arrogant, but rather that he possessed a trump card that even Moke couldn't refuse or confront: the small island he had brought with him, no matter how strong you were.

Even if you survive the fall of this small island, the world's number one entertainment complex is definitely going to be destroyed.

In this situation, any normal person would take out a sum of Beli to avoid trouble.

Who would have thought...

He couldn't help but turn to look at the blind man, never expecting that there would be such a person hidden in the Moke Pirates.

"This is troublesome..."

His gaze returned to Moke once more. He could clearly sense the other man's killing intent.

"Brush..."

The Shiki was cunning; he knew that fighting above the sea was disadvantageous for him. After all, besides the blind man using his abilities to "support" the island, there were also Moke, Enel, and Shiryu.

One against three, it's safer to be grounded. So, he quickly arrived at the small island that Yi Xiao was "carrying".

"Swish swish..."

Enel, Shiryu, Moke quickly gave chase. Like Shiki, they stood on the island, facing him directly.

"Lion's Might - Earth Scroll..."

Shiki was the first to make a move. He used the power of the Float-Float Fruit to lift up the entire ground, turning it into multiple lion-head-shaped mounds that then crushed towards Moke, Shiryu, and Enel.

Upon seeing this, the three of them simultaneously raised the corners of their mouths slightly, revealing a look of disdain.

They all possess elemental abilities; attacks without Armament Haki, no matter how powerful, are useless against them.

However, none of the three were willing to wait to be attacked, even if such an attack was ineffective against them.

Enel and Shiryu transformed into bolts of electricity, easily dodging the attack. Almost simultaneously, they assumed an offensive stance.

"Shave..."

Moke vanished from his spot, reappearing in front of the two, blocking their path. "Let me handle this..."

Enel was somewhat unwilling; such a strong opponent was hard to come by.

Shiryu, however, said from the side, "We've just arrived in the New World, and our captain needs enough achievements to secure his position as the Pirate Emperor. Just fighting Kaido a draw isn't enough. If we defeat this man before us, the previous Pirate Emperor, then our captain's position as Pirate Emperor will truly be well-deserved."

After saying that, he added, "Don't worry! According to plan, a major battle will be held soon. Are you worried about not having an opponent?"

"The captain desperately needs such a record; with such a record, the plan will proceed more smoothly... After all, getting Red-Hair face is no easy task."

Enel was still somewhat unhappy, but ultimately chose to comply. Of course, besides Shiryu's words having some effect, his understanding of the strong in the Blue Sea and Moke's increased strength also played a role.

Enel gradually found his place.

Since he was somewhat displeased, he would still choose to obey Moke even without Shiryu's help.

Ultimately, this is a world where might makes right. If you want others to submit to you, then use absolute strength to make everyone submit.

"Slash Wave!"

This time, Shiki went all out, and the power of his Slash Wave attack was even stronger than the one that Shiryu had blocked before.

Zoan Hybrid Form!

Moke wants to finish this quickly; Shiki isn't Kaido. Although he's certainly strong, he can still be injured if hit.

It's unlikely that a frustrating situation will arise where neither side can break through the other's defenses.

Besides, his Ghost Aura had increased dramatically, so he could use the Shiki as a practice target.

"Um?"

Shiki's eyes widened in surprise, for he realized that apart from the color, Moke looked remarkably like Kaido.

He then exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't you a Paramecia Fruit user? Could it be that your special ability can absorb the abilities of Zoan users???"

He then shook his head.

But that doesn't make sense!

Kaido isn't that color.

We can't possibly eat one Paramecia -type and one Zoan!

Wouldn't that cause it to explode?

History is full of idiots like this. Otherwise, the ironclad rule that one person can only eat one Devil Fruit wouldn't have been established.

"Brush..."

At that moment, Moke exerted force with both legs, and his whole body shot out like a cannonball.

They arrived in front of the Shiki in a flash.

The Nidai Kitetsu was instantly drawn, and terrifying Ghost Aura and Armament Haki intertwined, forming a purplish-black, flame-like power on the island's edge.
