In the New World, the famous hot spring island, Seken Island.
Following Rocks' orders, Moria brought Leon and some pirates to the island.
Of course, Rocks didn't ask him to come for a vacation or anything.
"Hehehe, what a prosperous island! Leon, take some people to kill all the pirates who have occupied this island!"
"From now on, this island will be the territory of our Rocks Pirates!"
"Yes, Lord Moria!"
Leon took the order and led the pirates directly towards the castle at the highest point of the island.
"Hehehe, I haven't taken a hot spring bath in a while. It's really nice to go and take a bath."
Moriah walked briskly towards a hot spring hotel.
As for whether Leon can defeat the pirates who occupied the island, Moriah said that if he can't even defeat such a small character, then Leon has no right to say that he is a member of the Rocks Pirates.
Moria randomly found a hot spring center, bought a ticket, paid the money, and then walked into a huge bathhouse naked.
"Oh, it feels so good!"
Moriah sat down in the hot spring and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You said so, Richard, a cadre of the Golden Lion Pirates."
Moriah grinned and turned to look at the man who was also soaking in the hot spring.
Richard, his whole body soaked in water, glanced at Moria.
"Ah, that's true. I don't want such a beautiful island to be completely destroyed because of a fight with you."
"The leader of the Rocks Pirates, the hero of the West Sea, Gekko Moriah."
"Hehehe, it's an honor for a great pirate like you to remember my name."
"But, you're right, Mr. Shimamoto also likes this place very much. So, could you please go and die by yourself?"
An invisible and powerful aura emanated from Moriah's body and spread towards Richard.
"Hmm! This is really troublesome. I don't want to fight you at all."
"boom!"
Suddenly, the ground where the hot spring hotel was located began to vibrate violently.
Under this violent vibration, the entire hotel began to collapse.
As the vibrations grew stronger, soon a huge stone giant stood on the ground.
Richard sat on the palm of the stone giant, looking down at Moria below.
"Gekiko Moriah, this is the island that belongs to our Golden Lion Pirates, and I happen to be the guardian of this island."
Richard slowly put on a bathrobe.
"Although it's not easy to build this island, there's nothing we can do. At worst, I can kill you and take your head before rebuilding it."
Richard, looking down from above, stared at Moria below with a cold expression.
Moriah was still sitting in the hot spring pool, although all the water in the pool had disappeared due to Richard's actions.
Moriah crossed his legs, stretched his arms, leaned against the pool wall, and stared at Richard in the palm of the stone giant.
"Hehehe, it really is a huge stone man."
Moriah stood up and looked up at the huge stone giant that was twice his height.
"Humph! Go to hell!"
"Rock Iron Fist!"
Richard put his hands together, a gray ripple spread out, and the huge rock giant suddenly swung his huge fist and crushed directly towards Moria below.
"Hehehehe! Nice punch!"
"Shadow Magic. Shadow Fist!"
"Buzz!"
The huge black shadow on the ground directly turned into a huge black fist that was exactly the same as Richard's rock fist, and collided directly and fiercely with Richard's rock giant fist.
The collision of the two fists created a huge air wave that destroyed countless buildings around.
Countless people were crushed to death in the rubble in this sudden outbreak of battle.
Moria directed the huge shadow fist with one hand, and directed the countless black shadows on the ground with the other hand to merge and then transform into a black shadow giant as huge as the rock giant.
Moriah stood on the palm of the Shadow Giant and looked at Richard straight in the eye.
"Hehehe, what do you think? My abilities are pretty good, right?"
A pitch-black shadow covered Moria's body and transformed into a pitch-black suit, covering his originally naked body.
Moriah pulled out a huge machete from his shadow and held it on his shoulder.
"Hmph! Don't get carried away! Moria!"
"Rock Iron Pillar!"
Richard put his hands together and gently moved them. Suddenly, dozens of huge rock pillars appeared beside Moria, and then suddenly smashed down towards Moria below.
Moria was not alarmed at all. He clasped his hands together and gently moved them in an orderly manner. The shadows of dozens of rock pillars also turned into shadow pillars, which collided violently with the rock pillars from bottom to top.
"Hehehe, the shadow can change into anything. No matter what moves you use, I can respond with the same moves!"
"hateful!"
Veins bulged on Richard's forehead and he roared in a low voice. A gray halo emanated from his whole body, and then he merged into one with the rock giant.
"In that case, I will do it myself and crush you to death!"
The rock giant's eyes flashed scarlet, and then he slapped Moria with one palm.
Moria quickly stood up and retreated at an extremely fast speed, leaving the shadow giant's palm.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the entire shadow giant was shattered into pieces under the attack of the rock giant.
"It's useless! No matter where you hide, I can find you!"
"Overlord Rock Crusher!"
“Boom!”
Countless rock walls instantly emerged from the ground, blocking Moria's entire body.
A dazzling light flashed, and all the rock walls exploded violently in an instant.
Countless pieces of rubble completely engulfed and covered Moria in the middle, burying him.
"Humph! With such strength, you still want to challenge me? You are really overestimating yourself!"
Richard growled disdainfully and emerged from the stone giant.
"Hehehehe! Shadow Bind!"
However, just as he emerged from the rock giant, countless black shadows transformed into ropes that tied him up tightly.
"What!"
Moriah's huge body slowly emerged from Richard's shadow.
"Hehehe, you underestimate me!"
Richard looked at Moria who emerged from his shadow in disbelief and screamed in surprise.
"You bastard, when did you hide in my shadow?!"
Moria walked to Richard's side, squatted down and patted Richard's head, then pointed at himself who was gradually turning into a black shadow in the rubble in the distance.
“Hehehe, I used my shadow to create a clone there from the beginning, and I have already entered the shadow of this big guy. What do you think, do you want to surrender? I don’t want to destroy this island.”
Richard looked at Moria with anger on his face, and suddenly smiled.
"Ha, haha, hahaha, you're worthy of being a guy from the Rocks Pirates' ship. How insidious!"
After saying this, in Moria's surprised gaze, Richard, who was tied tightly with shadow ropes, disappeared out of thin air before his eyes.
"What?"
"boom!"
“Ugh!”
With a muffled groan, Moria's huge body was knocked flying by Richard's punch.
"Humph, why do you think I became one of the top leaders of the Golden Lion Pirates?"
"You are just a young boy who just went to sea. Do you think you can defeat me? Stop being so arrogant!"
