Chapter 185An army of animal zombies modified from cute-looking little animals!Among them were fluffy but fierce-eyed panda zombies, koala zombies that had been forcibly dragged over while dozing against tree trunks, and kangaroo zombies jumping around and boxing...This army was frantically chasing another group of people.The remnants of the Rolling Pirates, led by Lola.Living people could actually still be seen here?It wasn't easy either."By Lord Moriah's command, seize them!"A bossy and somewhat childish voice came from behind the animal zombies. A young girl dressed as a Gothic Lolita, holding a parasol, floated in the air. It was none other than Ghost Princess Perona, one of the Three Mysterious Persons.Now was the time for the zombie army's full-scale counterattack.Perona felt much more relaxed.As long as she didn't encounter that Straw Hat kid who could land a punch on her spirit body, she was invincible!She had even brought out all of her animal zombies. These animal zombies were her private collection, residing in a place called Perona's Wonder Garden. No one seemed to be on the same wavelength as this eerie, cute aesthetic except for Perona herself."Get lost, don't block the way!"Luffy watched the charging animal zombies without even furrowing his brow; his gaze merely sharpened.Vroom!An invisible wave of Conqueror's Haki spread out like ripples!Those animal zombies, who had been baring their fangs and claws, instantly became like ducks with their necks throttled. Their movements froze, the fierce light in their eyes replaced by terror. Many fainted on the spot, while those barely standing scattered in a panic like a receding tide, leaving behind a mess and the dumbfounded members of the Rolling Pirates."Eh?! My garden!"Perona was stunned as she watched her subordinates vanish in an instant.When she clearly saw that the newcomer was Luffy, she was scared out of her wits!She had personally seen this Straw Hat kid blow up her proudest Negative Hollow with a single punch."S-Straw Hat!" Perona's voice carried a sob. Her legs went weak, and she couldn't even float steadily as tears welled up in her eyes."She started crying just like that?" Luffy hadn't even reacted yet.The people from the Rolling Pirates immediately identified her: "Straw Hat, she's one of Moriah's subordinates!""Moriah's subordinate?!" This meant she could finally lead him to Moriah, so he dashed over in an instant."Eek!"Seeing Luffy approach, Perona let out a sharp cry of despair as if she were seeing the most terrifying monster."Lord Moriah, save me!""Hey, the only one who can save you now is yourself. Take me to Moriah..."Before Luffy could finish his sentence, Perona's eyes rolled back, and she fainted from sheer terror."Luffy, what did you do to that girl?"Nami couldn't help but ask as she looked at the unconscious Perona.Luffy spread his hands with an innocent look: "I just wanted her to take us to Moriah."Just then, a deafening roar came from not far away, accompanied by a thunderous sound that shook the ground and mountains!"Booze! Meat! Give them all to me!"Luffy and the others looked up to see a massive shadow slowly rising within the thick fog.It was a red-skinned giant nearly seventy meters tall!Two large pointed horns sat atop its head, with long golden hair flowing behind. Its mouth revealed savage fangs. Currently, it was looking around in a daze, radiating a primitive and violent aura."What kind of monster is that?!" Nami cried out.It was even larger than Nika, but having seen Luffy's giant form, Nami felt it was still within an acceptable range.When it came to being big, no one could compare to Luffy.This was Nami's gold-standard certification."That is Moriah's super zombie, the Special Zombie Oars, the corpse of an Ancient Giant."A sturdy woman with thick lips stepped out from the shadows. She looked at the giant with a complicated expression, then glanced at the wild boar zombie Lola beside Luffy, saying solemnly: "Looking at this, he has already obtained a powerful shadow and been awakened!""Who are you?" Looking at this woman, Luffy easily associated her with the wild boar bride next to Nami."I am the Captain of the Rolling Pirates, Lola the Proposer!"Lola gave her habitual self-introduction and then, almost without thinking, said to Luffy, "Powerful warrior! Please marry me!""No."Luffy refused flatly, without even a second of hesitation.Nami was stunned and instinctively blocked the way in front of Luffy, shouting at Lola: "Hey! What's wrong with you! Why are you suddenly proposing again!"What was with this damn sense of déjà vu? It felt like this had happened before.Seeing Nami's instinctive protective gesture, Lola had a sudden realization. A flash of envy crossed her eyes, and she chuckled: "I get it, I get it! Beautiful lady, I wish you both happiness!"Nami's cheeks instantly turned bright red. "How are you just like Lola?""Because I am also Lola."Lola stood up and stared at the wild boar bride, her gaze tinged with bitterness. "My name is Lola. I can feel that she has my shadow within her."A shadow?So they were all victims created by Moriah.Luffy looked at the group and asked, "So what exactly do you want to do?""We are here to increase your power!"Lola said seriously, "Lord Luffy, you want to defeat Moriah and that giant, right?""That's right."Luffy grinned with full confidence: "I don't need you to give me any power. Those two guys, it's no problem even if they come at me together."What a confident man!At that moment, Moriah, standing on the rooftop closest to Oars, let out a triumphant and sharp laugh:"Kishishishishi! Finally complete, my ultimate zombie Oars! Look over here, my zombie weapon. From now on, I am your master. Obey my commands, defeat the enemies, and then help me become the Pirate King!"The demon Oars, nicknamed the Continent-Puller.Legend says that in his lifetime, he loved to pull entire islands back to his own territory after defeating a nation.Legends of this great villain had circulated five hundred years ago.He froze to death while attacking the Land of Ice, and his corpse was discovered by Gekko Moriahand kept in a secret freezer ever since.From this moment on, after receiving Nika's shadow, he has seen the light of day again!Moriah wanted Oars to have only him as the sun in his heart!"Oars, let me into your cockpit," Moriah said."Yes, boss."The power of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit made Oars completely obedient to Moriah's words. He obediently reached out to pick up Moriah and let him enter the cockpit Hogback had specially built inside Oars' body.This would facilitate control while preventing the enemy from capturing the leader to defeat the army.Moriah was very excited.He felt as if the throne of the Pirate King was within his grasp. "Test your power, Oars!""Oh!"Oars smashed a fist toward his own castle.Boom!A fist larger than a house fell, and the sturdy castle walls were instantly smashed into a huge gap. Rubble, bricks, furniture, and the zombies inside were ejected like fireworks."Not bad, not bad! This power is too strong!"Moriah laughed in the cockpit like a three-hundred-pound child. "Come, try using your ability!""What is that? A zombie?""Friendly fire, friendly fire! We're on the same side! Don't hit here!""Monster!"The surviving zombies fled while cursing, but when they looked back, something even more mind-blowing happened!Oars leaped into the air, and his arm suddenly elongated.Like Rubber, he smashed a fist into the ground!Bang!!The ground cracked, and the fierce wind made everyone nearly lose their footing!"Luffy! Isn't that your ability?"Nami couldn't help but scream, "Could it be that your shadow was stolen by Moriah?"Luffy looked down at his feet: "My shadow is still here."According to Brook's explanation, a shadow possesses the personality and abilities of its original body.The fact that his own shadow was still there meant..."It must be Nika. That guy is really careless, even getting his shadow stolen."Lola and her group: "???"Is now the time to be excited?Luffy was indeed very excited. Seeing that massive giant actually able to use abilities similar to Rubberstretching, he wasn't afraid; instead, his interest grew even higher. "A giant being able to use abilities is too unfair!"Isn't that just your own move?Merry looked ahead. "Luffy, Sister Vivi and Sister Robin are all over there.""Then I can't let this guy do as he pleases." Just as Luffy was about to move, Lola's group quickly blocked him and gave an explanation.It was about shadows enhancing power.Lola's words piqued Luffy's interest.They explained that they had collected a large number of shadows stolen by Moriah. Through a special method, these shadows could be temporarily stuffed into a living person's body to stack their combat power!But this required the recipient to have a tenacious will and a strong physique.And Luffy was undoubtedly the perfect candidate!They hoped Luffy could defeat Moriah and take back everyone's shadows."Stacking combat power?" This was the first time Luffy had heard of such a method."Yes, one person's power is limited, but the power of shadows is infinite! Theoretically, the stacked power of shadows is invincible!""Sounds good. I also want to know how strong I'll be after stacking combat power."Luffy said, "Come on, bring out the shadows!"Chapter 267: Nightmare Luffy + Gear 5 Form =?"A normal person's limit is two or three shadows. For you, Lord Luffy, you might be able to handle twenty or thirty," Lola warned solemnly."Let's try it," Luffy said.The Rolling Pirates nearby brought over a shadow. Luffy reached out, grabbed one, and stuffed it into his body.He didn't feel much."Th-this is way too aggressive.""Stuffing the shadows in himself?"
