Pirates: Taking Up Moria's Last Wish!

System space.

On this day, Akuta returned once again to his loyal system space.

Looking at the completed challenges on the task panel, Akuta burst into laughter.

"This isn't difficult, system. I just went straight there, didn't I?"

[Maki] felt extremely arrogant after completing the mission.

He never expected that the "extremely difficult" task certified by the system would be completed so easily under his strategic planning!

Akuta even felt he hadn't had enough!

What Zenin Clan? They're not even slowing down. Akuta felt he would soon forget about them.

But it's too late now; the challenge is over, and there's nothing the Akuta can do.

"System, your challenge is indeed interesting, but it's too easy. Do you have any more complex and difficult challenges you could recommend?"

Because the challenge went by so quickly, Akuta didn't get to enjoy it at all.

Immediately after finishing, he couldn't wait to start a new challenge.

"Some hosts, some."

The system responded instantly, just like always.

"Of course, there is more than one such challenge. There are nine in total, all of which are very difficult challenges in the current inventory."

"The key is to pass one level, which is to become an outstanding individual. If you can pass all levels, it will be an unprecedented achievement!"

"Oh!" Akuta's eyes lit up, and he immediately said impatiently, "Then what are we waiting for? Quickly throw one out so I can taste it!"

"Understood, selecting a new world challenge for the host..."

"World search in progress... World search complete..."

"Show yourself, little one! But don't get too excited!"

Akuta chuckled and looked excitedly at the challenge before him.

"Having the power of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, he defeated Kaido."

Synopsis: Moria entered the most tragic timeline. This time, Moria did not choose to escape; he fought Kaido to the very last moment, his life coming to an end.

"Requirement: The host will be transported to the world of One Piece. Please take over Moria's dying wish, inherit the Shadow-Shadow Fruit's power to defeat Kaido, and save the people of Wano Country from Kaido's clutches!"

Note: The primary objective of this mission is to save the people of Wano Country. The challenge will be considered a failure if too many Wano citizens are killed or injured.

"Wow! It's a Cornetto!"

The moment he saw the challenge Akuta couldn't hold back anymore.

Although he already knew that the system's challenges covered a wide range, he didn't expect them to be this extensive!

There are even challenges involving cute little treats!

Seemingly unprepared for the Akuta's reaction, the system immediately inquired.

"Would you like to accept the challenge?"

"Answer it, why don't you answer it!"

Akuta answered without hesitation.

Kaido is the strongest teacher in the world of One Piece!

He finally had this opportunity, he absolutely had to go and learn from Kaido!

"System, immediately send me to the world of One Piece! I want to challenge Kaido right now!"

"Understood. Host's first One Piece world challenge begins now."

One Piece world.

Somewhere in the New World.

The Moonlight Pirates are a rapidly rising pirate crew in the New World in recent years.

His captain, Gecko Moria, with his Shadow-Shadow Fruit powers and formidable strength, quickly recruited a group of renowned subordinates, becoming a rising star among pirates.

As usual, he received today's newspaper from his subordinates.

But he froze the moment he saw the newspaper.

The newspaper prominently displayed this news item.

Kaido of the Beasts invades Wano Country, and Ringo suffers a devastating defeat!

Moria's pupils contracted sharply, and the power of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit spilled out uncontrollably.

Moria was born in the West Blue and drifted to the Ringo region of Wano Country in an accident during his childhood.

There, he was warmly taken in by the people of Bell, and because of his great strength, he was given the name "Kozuki".

Although he has grown up now, Wano Country will always be Moria's second home.

"Kaido!"

Moria's eyes burned with barely suppressed rage.

A voice rose in his heart.

He wants to go back to Wano Country, defeat Kaido, and repay the kindness that the descendants of Rin showed him!

But...

Moriah suddenly froze.

His gaze swept over the crew members on deck.

Those were all his recruited companions; they had followed him in many battles and defeated many enemies.

But Kaido is different from previous enemies!

He was a renowned pirate who had been famous for many years and was even known as the "strongest creature in the world".

Can Moria really defeat Kaido?

Just then, one of the crew members noticed Moria's unusual behavior.

"Captain? What are you doing...?"

The other crew members on deck noticed Moria's expression and gathered around him, their eyes filled with concern.

Looking at his companions gathered together, Moria hesitated for a long time, then took a deep breath and spoke:

"Ringo in Wano Country... has been invaded by Kaido."

The crew members looked at each other, not quite understanding what this had to do with their captain.

Moria's voice lowered:

"When I was a child, the people of Ringo took me in. They even gave me my surname 'Moonlight.' Without them, I might have died somewhere long ago."

Moriah paused, as if he had made up his mind.

"So I'm going to Wano Country, I'm going to defeat Kaido."

Upon hearing this, the deck fell silent.

Before his companions could speak, Moria raised his head and said earnestly:

"You don't need to follow me. You all know how powerful Kaido is. This is my private matter, mine alone..."

"Captain!"

Just then, Moria's first mate suddenly interrupted him, his tone tinged with anger.

What are you talking about?

"What do you mean it's your private matter? We're partners!"

Moria froze on the spot.

At this point, the crew members who had realized what was happening also chimed in.

"That's exactly what I'm saying, Captain! Your business is our business!"

"Wano Country helped the captain, which means they helped all of us!"

"What's Kaido compared to our captain? He's the strongest!"

"Moria! Moria! Moria!"

Someone started it, and the crew members chanted the captain's name in unison.

Moria stared blankly at the scene, then suddenly grinned, revealing a wanton smile.

"Hahahaha! You're right, what is Kaido? I'm the strongest!"

After saying that, Moria suddenly waved his hand, and the power of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit surged around him.

"My lads, prepare to set sail!"

"Target: Wano Country!"

Wano Country, Ringo region.

Back in Ringo, Moria led his "Moonlight Pirates" in a fierce battle against Kaido's "Beasts Pirates".

Although Moria desperately wanted to defeat Kaido, the difference in their strength was insurmountable.

Under the Beasts Pirates' powerful offensive, Moria's crew members fell one by one.

When Moria saw his last crew member fall before him, he knew he had finally lost.

"People of Ringo, I, Moria, am too weak to drive Kaido away for you. Please forgive my inadequacy."

After offering his final apology to the people of Ringo, Moria looked at the familiar land and his fallen comrades, mustered his last strength, and launched a final charge against Kaido.

Seeing Moria charging forward despite knowing he was no match, Kaido let out a deafening laugh.

"Hahaha! Moriah? I acknowledge you!"

I think I'll always remember you!

It's a pity Moria is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user, otherwise Kaido would have wanted to recruit him.

Kaido wouldn't hold back against such an opponent.

Out of respect for Moria, he decided to finish him off with his strongest attack.

Let me use this strike to say goodbye to you!

"Great Mighty Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"
