"To be honest, thank you very much for your invitation, but I may not be able to sail with you.
My shadow was taken away by a man named Gekko Moria a few years ago. Without a shadow, I cannot live under the sun. If I am exposed to the sun, I will disappear directly," Brook explained his difficulties.
"It is Gekko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea," Robin, who is in charge of the intelligence department of Baroque Works, said. Naturally, she knows the news about the other Warlords.
"What is Warlords of the Sea?" Brook asked. He has been wandering alone for too long and doesn't know the current pirate situation.
"Let's talk about these things slowly after we resolve this matter!" Amber interrupted. "Gekko Moria, the user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, has the power to control shadows. Not only can he control his own shadow to fight, but he can also cut off other people's shadows and stuff them into dead bodies to turn them into zombies. These zombies are directly controlled by Gekko Moria and become his power," Robin continued.
Hearing about the Warlords, everyone became solemn.
"Don't worry, no matter how strong they are, they can't defeat Amber. It's not like Warlords haven't been defeated before. Even Marine Admirals can be stopped," Nami said, comforting everyone.
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this. At that moment, the ship shook, and everyone hurried out to check. A huge ship, or island, appeared in front of them.
"This is Gekko Moria's territory. Last time I mistakenly entered here, and Gekko Moria took away my shadow," Brook said solemnly.
"Let's go and take Brook's shadow back," Amber said to everyone with a smile.
"Yes, Captain!" everyone responded.
Suddenly, Amber's Observation Haki sensed that a life form was approaching the ship. This was probably Absalom, who had eaten the Transparent-Transparent Fruit and ruined Sanji's lifelong dream!
Amber's eyes flashed with murderous intent. This guy and Momonosuke were the two people he must kill.
Absalom was very confident in his ability. He walked over openly and slowly approached Nami. Amber suddenly disappeared and appeared in front of Absalom.
"What, you...how did you...ah!" Before Absalom finished speaking, Amber grabbed his throat and lifted him up.
Everyone was very confused when they saw Amber's actions, and then they saw Amber raise his hand, and then a person appeared out of thin air, pinched by Amber.
"When did this person appear?" the others said in shock.
"Your Observation Haki is too weak, you need to practice more!" Amber said with a smile.
The conditions for practicing Observation Haki are not as harsh as those for Armament Haki. Armament Haki requires a certain level of physical fitness to practice, while Observation Haki can be practiced as long as there is a method. In the original work, even Usopp, a shooter with poor physical skills, can practice Observation Haki.
"Ahem...please...don't kill me!" Absalom begged for mercy.
Amber put him on the ground but still held his neck. "Tell me all the information about Gekko Moria on the island!" Amber demanded coldly.
"Yes...yes! Gekko Moria is on the island..." Absalom looked at the hand on his neck, ready to kill him at any time, and did not dare to refuse. He told them everything he knew about Gekko Moria.
"I have told you everything I know, please let me go!" Absalom begged.
Amber remembered that this guy had taken advantage of Nami and Robin in the original story, and the killing intent in his heart was uncontrollable.
"You'd better die! 50 million volts. Discharge." (Absalom said: I will die with 100,000 volts. How can I be worthy of 50 million volts!)
"No!!!" Absalom didn't last a second before turning into charcoal.
If there weren't three other girls on board, Nami, Robin, and Conis, Amber would not have let him die so quickly and would have tortured him to death.
"Haha, it seems that the way this guy looked at us just now made our captain jealous. He is such a domineering captain!" Robin said with a sinister tone, probably thinking of Amber's words on the ghost ship, "Robin... 'Mine'. This guy is obviously with Nami... and he still says this to others, what a troublesome guy!"
"Ahem...Now that we know the complete information about Gekko Moria, it's time to go ashore and deal with him," Amber quickly changed the subject.
...
On the other side.
"It's not good, it's not good! Master Gekko Moria, something bad happened!" A little bat flew into Gekko Moria's room and reported.
"What's the noise? What's wrong!" A huge and bloated body was lying on the bed, like a fat man who hadn't been out for many years.
"Lord Absalom is dead!"
"Who did this?" Gekko Moria sat up and yelled angrily.
"It's the 'Thunder God' Amber and his crew who have been causing a lot of trouble recently and are rumored to be tied with a Marine Admiral."
"'Thunder God' Amber! You are finally here, hahahahaha!!!" Gekko Moria was stunned for a moment and then laughed crazily. He had taken a liking to 'Thunder God' Amber when he killed Crocodile. When rumors spread that 'Thunder God' Amber and an Admiral were tied, he was even more certain that 'Thunder God' Amber's shadow was his most important piece in defeating Kaido and becoming the Pirate King.
"But, Lord Gekko Moria, that person's strength..." The little bat didn't dare to say it directly; Lord Gekko Moria, you can't beat him at all.
"Hmph! I have a plan. There is a way to capture his shadow. Call Perona over, and let's meet this 'Thunder God' together! No matter how powerful a strong man is, as long as he is hit by Perona's moves, his shadow will be at my mercy, hey!" Gekko Moria snorted and then told the little bat to fetch Perona.
"That's it. Lord Moria is really smart. I'll go now."
...
"Have you heard? Absalom has been killed. It is said that it is the Thunder God who is causing trouble now," Perona's spirit body said to Hogback.
"Thunder God? No wonder, even if I gave Absalom physical enhancement surgery, he is still far from the real strong men in this sea."
At this time, the little bat flew over. "Perona, Moria invites you to come over and greet the Thunder God together."
"What... what!!! Why me? I don't want... to... die!" Perona looked horrified.
"What? You don't listen to Lord Moria's orders either?"
"I...I'll just go." After all, Perona didn't dare to disobey Moria's order and flew over obediently.
