One-Shotted

On that sinister and Thriller Bark, the bright moonlight shone on the deck. Gecko Moria and his three trusted lieutenants— Absalom, Hogback, and Perona —were all looking up at the sky, their faces filled with astonishment and shock.

You see, the Thriller Bark they were on was firmly anchored in the heart of the Florian Triangle! Although this place wasn't shrouded in the same thick, suffocating fog as other locations, it was still perpetually shrouded in a mysterious, unpredictable mist directly overhead. But at this moment, this fog, which had always seemed like an impenetrable barrier, vanished without a trace! In its place, a blazing sun hung high in the sky, relentlessly pouring down its scorching rays, instantly bathing the entire Thriller Bark in dazzling light.

The intense light even stung their eyes, forcing them to squint to block the blinding sunlight. "Hehehehe..." A strange and unique laugh escaped Gecko Moria's lips. Then, a deep look of doubt appeared on his already grotesque face as he muttered to himself, "How strange. This Florian Triangle has been shrouded in mist and rain for centuries; there's never been anything like this before. What could have caused this mist to suddenly vanish?"

Hogback nodded solemnly and said thoughtfully, "This Florian Triangle is indeed very similar to that Calm Belt. Both are areas with unusually stable climates, so such drastic changes shouldn't have occurred." As he finished speaking, for some reason, a strange unease welled up in his heart, giving him a bad premonition.

Absalom, standing to the side, was a completely different story. His already somewhat strange-looking face was now filled with an air of utter indifference. He casually raised his hand, waved it at the crowd, and said in a lazy tone, "Oh dear, why are you all so tense? Who cares what changes happen here! Even if there are some differences, what can they do to us? Anyway, in my opinion, these changes don't have any significant impact on us at all!" As he spoke, he deliberately displayed a nonchalant and indifferent expression, as if the situation before him did not concern him in the slightest.

Just then, a clear, loud, and highly recognizable "ho-ho-ho-ho-ho..." laugh suddenly rang out without warning. Everyone looked over and saw that the source of the laughter was none other than the usually mischievous Perona. At this moment, Perona was laughing so hard that she was doubled over, her whole body trembling slightly from excessive laughter, like a flower swaying wildly in the wind. Looking at her pretty face, she now had a somewhat confused and bewildered expression. However, this confusion did not make her look embarrassed or at a loss; on the contrary, it complemented her naturally slightly dazed expression, making her look even more adorable and endearing.

While everyone's attention was drawn to Perona, Moonlight Moria, who had been standing silently, finally snapped out of his daze. He paused for a moment, seemingly gathering his thoughts, before slowly turning his head to look in Absalom's direction. Then, in a deep and serious voice, he said, "Absalom, go to the ship's side and check carefully whether the fog that has been hanging over the sea has completely dissipated..." Hearing his boss's order, Absalom dared not delay and immediately straightened up.

At this critical moment, time seemed to freeze. Moke and Ata faced unprecedented difficulties Shoichi. Along the way, they forged ahead, crossing towering mountains and treacherous, boundless deserts and swamps; enduring the relentless onslaught of Gale and the scorching heat of the sun. Every step was incredibly difficult, but with their indomitable will and unwavering faith, they never gave up.

Finally, after a long journey, their exhausted and wounded bodies slowly stepped into the mysterious port that had always existed only in legends. The port was filled with a chilling atmosphere, as if it concealed endless eeriness and fear. When their feet firmly landed on this unfamiliar and mysterious land, an indescribable, invisible pressure surged over them like a raging tide.

The two of them simultaneously raised their heads, their gazes fixed on the distant horizon. In that instant, a dazzling Inazuma, like a ferocious dragon, suddenly tore through the dark night sky, instantly illuminating the entire turbulent sea and the enormous, Thriller Bark silently moored in the distance.

Ata was struck as if by lightning; his body began to tremble violently. His already wide eyes widened even more, as if they were about to burst out of their sockets. His face, which had maintained a semblance of composure, was instantly consumed by utter shock; all color drained from it, leaving it as white as paper. His lips trembled slightly, trying to utter even the slightest sound, but it was as if an invisible hand was gripping his throat, rendering him completely speechless.

"What is that?" Ata stared wide-eyed, muttering to herself in astonishment. Just then, her gaze suddenly focused on a colossal creature not far ahead, and her body trembled involuntarily.

A gigantic spider, its size so enormous it was astonishing, was slowly crawling towards them. Even more chilling was that this spider possessed the upper body of a human! Its bizarre half-human, half-spider appearance, like a demon from the depths of hell, completely shattered Ata's entire understanding of this world.

Seeing this, Moke, standing to the side, merely frowned slightly, a hint of disdain on his face. He was, of course, aware of the origin of this terrifying monster—it was a zombie created by Gecko Moria. Back in the day, Gecko Moria was a renowned pirate who roamed the Four Seas, but now his glory had faded.

Without hesitation, Moke raised his longsword and swung it fiercely. A flash of cold light, and the giant spider was instantly cleaved in two. However, looking at the dead Spider-Man on the ground, Moke couldn't help but shake his head, sighing inwardly, "What a pity. This Moonlight Moria, once a powerful figure who dominated a region, has now fallen to such a state..."

Just then, a deep, angry roar came from not far away, "Where did this arrogant brat come from, daring to belittle our great captain like this! You should know that he is one of the Shichibukai!" Looking in the direction of the voice, a black shadow appeared as quickly as a ghost in the spot where Spider-Man had just been.

The man stared blankly at the mangled, mangled corpse of the Spider-Man on the ground, as if it were insignificant. Then, he slowly raised his head, his icy gaze flashing like Inazuma as he pierced through the air, fixing on Moke and Ata.

The gaze was incredibly sharp, like two gleaming swords piercing straight into the depths of one's soul, sending chills down one's spine and making one's hair stand on end. However, in the midst of this terrifying gaze, when that person's eyes finally settled on Ata, something miraculous happened.

His previously cold, indifferent, and expressionless face underwent a dramatic transformation in an instant. His eyes suddenly brightened and sparkled, like two dazzling hearts, shining brightly. At the same time, he seemed to be enveloped by a mysterious magic, becoming exceptionally excited, even extremely thrilled.

Without a doubt, this guy Absalom had already developed lust for Ata! The next moment, with a "whoosh," he suddenly exerted force with his legs, his body leaping high into the air like an arrow, drawing a beautiful arc in the air before finally landing steadily and lightly as a swallow in front of Moke and Ata.

It's important to know that Absalom is a notorious perverted sex maniac. He often uses his unique abilities to voyeurize women's privacy, satisfying his twisted desires. Moreover, this guy has a peculiar fetish—he's attracted to women who appear weak and vulnerable, while he often looks down on women who are strong-willed and fearless. Because of this, he frequently criticizes and hurls insults at Perona, Cindry, and others.

Just then, Moke and Ata finally saw the figure approaching them clearly. The person was dressed in extremely gorgeous clothes, but his face was unusually terrifying, especially his long hair that reached his waist, which added to his sinister aura.

"It's him..." Moke stared intently and instantly recognized the person before him— Absalom, one of the Three Monsters! Moke felt a deep disgust for this guy. The reason was simple: Absalom was a complete and utter perverted sex maniac! He often used his special abilities to voyeuristically spy on women, and his behavior was utterly shameless.

Compared to him, even Sanji, who is known for his womanizing, seems much more naive! In the entire One Piece world, if we were to choose the character that fans most want to eliminate, Absalom would definitely hold the second spot for years... Of course, this is before Momonosuke appeared. If Momonosuke hadn't appeared, Absalom would probably still be the one everyone considers a kill target.

Recalling the despicable things Absalom had done, Moke frowned. From the moment he appeared, he acted extremely lewdly, even shamelessly licking Robin; even worse, once when Nami was taking a bath, he sneaked in and took advantage of her! Nami was completely naked and defenseless, pinned against the wall by him! If Sanji hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable; Absalom might have succeeded!

However, there's one crucial detail that absolutely cannot be ignored. That despicable guy actually saw Nami's body completely naked... Good heavens! How can anyone tolerate this? Thinking of this, Moke's anger flared instantly. He quickly leaned close to Ata's ear and whispered, "Listen, Ata, this bastard is one of Kozuki Moria's three top executives! And he's also Paramecia Fruit user— the Clear-Clear Fruit. This guy is a complete pervert, using his special ability to secretly spy on countless women!"

Upon hearing these words, Ata's face instantly turned extremely gloomy, like the sky before an impending storm. Her gaze towards Absalom was filled with contempt and anger, for what she hated most in her life was that kind of shameless person who had no bottom line and wantonly violated women's dignity. At this moment, the murderous intent in Ata's heart surged rapidly like a raging tide.

As everyone's gazes converged on a single point, they were astonished to see the woman Ata gripping the two long swords Kashu and Nagasone Kotetsu, tightly in both hands. The blades gleamed with a dazzling light, their incredibly sharp edges reflecting chilling rays under the bright sunlight. These rays were like countless icy venomous snakes, flicking their tongues, seemingly ready to break free from Ata's grasp at the slightest chance, and then, like Sanjuan Wolf pouncing on their prey, mercilessly tear apart and shred everything in their path.

In an instant, the previously tranquil atmosphere was shattered by a sudden roar from Ata. This roar was like a thunderclap from the heavens, deafening and causing everyone present to tremble involuntarily. Accompanying this roar was Ata's powerful shout, "Dual Path Flow - Extreme Speed Slash!" However, before the words had even fully fallen, Ata had already transformed into an arrow released from a bow, rushing forward at an astonishing speed that defied the limits of mortal comprehension.

The speed was so fast that it left onlookers speechless and incredulous. To ordinary people, it was only the blink of an eye, and when they looked again, they found that Ata had been standing there just moments before, had vanished without a trace, as if he had never been there at all.

This sudden turn of events plunged the surrounding crowd into chaos. "Oh no! Something's wrong!" someone screamed in terror, their shrill voice piercing the previously calm air. Immediately afterward, more cries of alarm rose and fell, like waves crashing against the eardrums of everyone present.

A mixture of shock and panic appeared on people's faces. They stared wide-eyed at the spot where Ata had just been standing. Because before this, no one could have predicted that this seemingly weak woman would launch such a fierce and swift attack without any mercy.

Especially Absalom, who had been leering at Ata with a lecherous look on his face, was now terrified, his face turning deathly pale. His smile froze instantly, replaced by deep fear and unease. When he finally realized the danger and tried to concentrate all his strength to deal with it, he sadly discovered that it was already too late...

In that split second, Ata appeared silently behind Absalom like a ghost. The Kashu and Nagasone Kotetsu in her hands were like two Inazuma, slowly sheathing themselves at a speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

A soft sound was heard—"Pfft..."—and a burst of blood suddenly bloomed on Absalom's chest, revealing a shocking X-shaped wound. The wound was not only deep enough to expose the bone, but its size was also astonishing, as if it had sliced his entire chest into four pieces. Blood gushed from the wound like a fountain, splattering onto the ground to form a crimson pool.

Absalom stared wide-eyed at the wound on his chest in disbelief. His body swayed a few times, but he finally collapsed to the ground. Even in his dying moments, his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. He simply couldn't imagine that this seemingly frail woman possessed such terrifying strength.

Born in Windmill Village, Goa Kingdom, East Blue, Luffy sets sail with the goal of becoming the Pirate King and finding the legendary One Piece. Luffy is optimistic, has strong likes and dislikes, is fiercely loyal, values his crew and friends highly, and is extremely interested in anything related to adventure. Unlike other traditional pirates, he doesn't kill for wealth but enjoys the adventure and freedom of being a pirate.

You must understand, Absalom is no ordinary man. He is one of the three most capable lieutenants under the command of the renowned and powerful Shichibukai! Looking back, with his incomparably noble status and extraordinary, almost superhuman strength, he roamed the world, dominating the Four Seas, virtually invincible and unstoppable. When had he ever suffered such a humiliating defeat?

Yet today, when faced with Ata's sudden, devastating attack, he was utterly powerless to retaliate, completely lacking even the ability to mount a slight resistance. This scene was truly astonishing, utterly unbelievable, and simply unbelievable! Not only was he himself incredulous, but Ata himself was also stunned into silence, his mouth agape and his eyes wide open, as if an egg could fit inside.

She suddenly turned her head, her face full of astonishment, and shouted loudly behind her, "Captain, is this guy really one of the three core members under the Might-Shaker Shichibukai?" The loudness of her voice and the urgency of her tone showed how shocked she was.

It's important to know that before this, Ata had engaged in fierce battles with many of the Shichibukai's subordinates. Among them was the treacherous and chilling Gladius. This man was practically the embodiment of evil; his specialty was meticulously setting ambushes and launching surprise attacks. This utterly despicable fellow had cruelly murdered Ata's closest allies one by one. Not only that, he had even come very close to taking Ata's precious life.

Whenever her thoughts raced like wild horses, tracing back to that dark and unbearably painful past, Ata's once calm heart was instantly hurled into a volcano on the verge of eruption! Her burning hatred for Gladius was like that raging, inextinguishable flame, rampaging wildly and unrestrainedly in the deepest recesses of her heart. This surging fire of hatred burned ever more fiercely, like a ravenous beast opening its blood-red maw, almost ready to devour her whole, leaving not a trace!

Although Ata harbored an intense, unyielding hatred for her ruthless, cold-blooded, and cruelly cunning enemy, a sliver of reason remained, acting as an unbreakable defense, firmly protecting her last vestige of clarity. This forced her to confront and acknowledge a cruel reality: Gladius's astonishing power was like a bottomless abyss, its true depth and limits impossible to fathom. He was like a colossal enigma hidden behind layers of mist, exuding an eerie aura that was both chilling and irresistibly intriguing, compelling one to seek his truth.

However, at that very moment, as Ata turned her gaze back to Absalom, whom she had so easily defeated, a complex emotion welled up within her. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the vast difference between them, a difference so immense it could only be described as "worlds apart." Absalom appeared so fragile and powerless before Ata, as if they were from entirely different worlds.

Just then, Moke spoke up, "That's true, but you absolutely mustn't compare Absalom to Doflamingo's subordinates. There's no Koby... After all, we're only in the first half of the Grand Line, while Doflamingo and his men are active in the far more dangerous New World, teeming with powerful individuals!"

Monkey D. Luffy, nicknamed "Straw Hat" Luffy, is one of the four Four Emperors of the Sea who reign supreme on the Grand Line. He is the captain of the Straw Hat Crew Straw Hat Grand Fleet. He was one of the eleven Supernova who landed on Sabaody Archipelago two years ago, and is also one of the Worst Generation pirates. He is a user of the Human- Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nika form (Gum-Gum Fruit). His bounty is 3 billion Beli.
