After Amber and the others arrived on the island, they encountered a three-headed hell dog that stood menacingly in front of them.
"What an interesting dog! It actually has three heads. Can their three heads fight?" Chopper asked excitedly, looking at the three-headed hell dog.
"It's so cute!" Robin said, looking at the three-headed hell dog in front of him, despite its uncute appearance.
"Does it want to fight?" Zoro asked, placing a hand on Wado Ichimonji, eager to give it a try.
Amber stepped forward and delivered an uppercut to the three-headed hell dog, knocking it away. The dog fell to the ground and fainted.
Everyone continued moving forward when suddenly, there was a huge commotion ahead of them.
A large group of zombies was approaching. Thousands of zombies of various shapes and sizes emerged from the fog one after another.
Everyone became nervous upon seeing the zombies and prepared for battle.
"Hey, hee hee hee..."
A strange sound came from nearby, followed by the appearance of a nearly 7-meter-tall man who looked like a demon, with a strange smile.
"Isn't this Lord Amber, the 'Thor God' with a bounty of 800 million beli? Why do you have time to visit a barren place like mine? You are so welcome!"
Gekko Moria appeared harmless to humans and animals.
Everyone was confused upon seeing Moria. When did the captain's reputation become so great that a Warlord was too scared to take action?
Amber did not relax because he knew from reading the original work how insidious Gekko Moria was.
"I didn't want to come initially, but you seemed to have taken away my partner's shadow, so I came here." Amber pointed at Brook next to him and said calmly.
"This... this is all a misunderstanding! I will immediately have someone bring this gentleman's shadow back. In addition, I don't know if Mr. 'Thor' has time to visit my castle so that I can prepare a dinner to apologize." Gekko Moria looked sincere.
"I don't think it's necessary. We have other things to do. Please return my partner's shadow quickly, and we will leave immediately and not disturb you anymore."
"Are you not giving me face?" Gekko Moria suddenly changed his expression.
"You didn't eat the Face-Face Fruit, so why should I give you face?" Amber said speechlessly.
"Then don't blame me!" Gekko Moria shouted loudly.
At this moment, several transparent ghosts flew toward Amber and the others from behind.
Amber, already aware, sneered inwardly.
"There's an attack coming from behind, everyone get out of the way!"
Zoro, Nami, and others who had good knowledge and skills dodged before Amber's warning. Nami also took Conis, who had no fighting power, and moved her to safety. Others also heeded Amber's warning and dodged.
Amber had been arguing with Moria to use his Observation Haki to sense Perona's body's position, knowing that her spirit couldn't stray far from her body.
Where is it? ...Found it, here!
Amber released a tiny trace of lightning at Perona's body. Perona's ability was too troublesome, and Amber cherished talents. (It's definitely not about being interested in Perona, it's about cherishing talent! Cherishing talent! Cherishing talent!)
Perona was attacked and fainted without any surprise.
"How...possible, how did you find out?" Gekko Moria looked shocked.
"This was your trump card? Now that it's gone, what will you do next?" Amber crossed his arms and looked at Gekko Moria with contempt.
"'Thor' Amber, how dare you look down on me! Do you think you can defeat me? I'm a Warlord!" Seeing Amber's contemptuous eyes, Gekko Moria was furious.
"Warlord? You're just a lackey of the World Government. It's not like one hasn't been killed before." (Hawkeye: Who do you think is a lackey? Do you want to touch it?)
"Asshole, bastard, how dare you look down on me! Kaido was like this, and so are you. I'm going to kill you all!" Gekko Moria shouted angrily.
"Just you? The homeless dog whose back was broken by Kaido in the New World also wants to take revenge on Kaido?" Amber continued his tried and tested taunting tactics.
"After being defeated by Kaido, you've lost your will to be strong! You've been hiding in this Thriller Bark for 20 years. Instead of training to get stronger, you collect shadows to make zombies. You actually think you can defeat Kaido with this garbage. Are you smart?"
"Asshole, come on, kill him." Gekko Moria finally couldn't take it and ordered his zombie army to attack.
"Everyone, go practice your skills. I'll watch over Gekko Moria to prevent him from taking anyone's shadow."
"Understood, Captain!" Everyone looked excited.
"Ryoma, let me kill them!" Moria sent out his strongest ace.
Ryoma, the samurai of Wano Country, is rumored to be the strongest samurai who ever slew a dragon. He is regarded as the sword god of Wano Country. Gekko Moria has high hopes for Ryoma's corpse to be the hope of defeating Kaido!
It's the trophy Gekko Moria got in the battle with Kaido 20 years ago.
Seeing the strong sword intent emanating from Ryoma and the black sword Shusui in his hand, Zoro stepped forward without hesitation to face him.
Ryoma slowly drew out the black sword Shusui.
"This sword is very strong. I will take it away." Zoro tied his bandana around his head and drew his sword.
"You want to take away this black sword Shusui in my hand?" Ryoma asked calmly.
"To be precise, take away the sword that fell next to your body!"
"Haha, I see, you are very brave! Then come on!" Ryoma chuckled lightly, then slashed hard.
Zoro also slashed his sword. The two swords clashed and then separated. A strong airflow erupted around them, shattering the ground.
Ryoma held his sword behind him and slashed upward. Zoro ducked sideways and countered with a backhand slash.
In this way, the two launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle. Sword energy flew everywhere, shattering the surrounding zombies.
...
"One-Sword Style: Flying Dragon!" Zoro slashed out dragon-shaped sword energy.
"Three-Sword Style: Hydra!" Ryoma responded with a slash.
The sword energies collided and merged, then the two figures passed each other.
Zoro fell to the ground first, gasping for air.
"Did Zoro lose?" his friends worriedly asked.
"Hahaha, Ryoma is indeed the strongest swordsman!" Moria shouted excitedly.
"Pata" Ryoma, standing on the other side, suddenly half-knelt on the ground.
"Did I lose?" Ryoma muttered, covering his wound, then handed the sword toward Zoro.
"Shusui, the famous sword once worn by a legendary warrior, must be your long-cherished wish to be its master!"
He put Shusui back into its scabbard and threw it to Zoro, who caught it with one hand.
"It's so sad to let my warrior body taste failure!"
"Feeling shame is enough. A swordsman is a swordsman in both body and mind. I really want to meet you when you were alive."
