Tracing the source begins with One Piece

When the song was about to come to an end, when everyone was immersed in the warm atmosphere of the singing, the sound of "swish, swish..." sounded outside, and then the light in the dark night outside flickered on and off.

Moria knew that the world's largest island ship was about to usher in its biggest feast in history, so she extended her hand to Perona, who was still immersed in singing, "Perona, let's go and see it together, hehehehe ,you will like it",

He led Perona, who had been dizzy and disoriented since seeing the birthday cake, and walked out, and the others followed behind in a tacit understanding.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Bundles of dazzling light flew into the sky, and with the shocking sound of "Boom, boom, boom...", the petals of the fireworks were emitted from the center of the fireworks, turning the sky into a "flower" garden. The ocean of "flowers",

The fireworks tubes surrounding the entire island ship suddenly ejected bright flames, and some even flew into the sky. The bright fireworks eventually formed the huge glorious pattern of Perona,

Even the distant Chambord Islands and even the relatively nearby Water Capital saw the sky filled with fireworks, which looked dreamlike in the endless darkness.

The zombies gathered in front of the castle and some of the pirates he "invited" all blessed Princess Mononoke on the second floor, today's main host, Perona,

"Happy birthday, Your Highness Princess"*N

"Everyone~" Perona was smiling from ear to ear at this moment, waving her little hand downwards in response.

"Go and reply to everyone, the banquet begins." Moriah touched the little head next to him and said with a smile.

Then,

"Everyone, let's start the bonfire party!"

--------------------------------------------------

Straw Hat Luffy and the others were walking around the Water City when they were attracted by the sound of the night sky.

“What beautiful fireworks”

"Usopp, let's set off fireworks"

"What beautiful fireworks, who is that firework pattern?"

"Looks like a girl"

"It's so romantic. Are you confessing your love?"

"How is that possible, Luffy, go drink"

"Nami-chan, I can also confess to you."

--------------------------------------------------

Looking at the bonfire banquet below, a large portion of the food and wine in the icehouse were moved to the banquet. As there were only four living pirates, the passing merchant ships and pirates were "friendly" "Borrowed" should not be too much over time. It should be enough for them to hold a banquet. It can even be said that they are satisfied if they can manage the wine.

At this time, Moriah was standing alone on the balcony on the second floor, looking at the crowd below.

Whether it's Perona and Sindori, Laura, Qifeng, etc.,

It was Absalom, Hogbark, Captain John, the Squirrel Brothers, etc. Laura suddenly fell silent after Absalom yelled "Lord Moria is watching from above" under Absalom's desire to survive, and they all gathered together to drink. Drinking wine and eating meat, singing songs, humming ditties, and bragging...

Yes, he also asked the three tool men to convey his orders to the pirates hiding in the darkness of the island ship, and asked the zombies to find them.

In fact, both sides know the existence of the other, and Moria wants to keep them alive to prevent their shadows from disappearing, so it doesn’t matter whether they are dead or alive, otherwise there will be zombies everywhere, and they will have nowhere to hide or escape;

The pirates who lost their shadows also knew that they could not resist the master of this terrifying demonic realm, and they were not afraid of being killed by him. They would have taken action long ago.

When they found them and let them participate in the banquet, some people thought it was a trap set by Moria and wanted to catch them all. But after thinking about it, they found that they had nothing to lose.

Under the leadership of Charlotte Chiffon, they came to the banquet as if they were dead. In the end, they found out that it was really a banquet, which made them feel like they were dreaming.

"I must be dreaming, pinch me, eldest sister"

"Whatever, I want to eat meat and drink wine."

"Cheers"*N

……

The reason why Moriah asked them to participate in the birthday party was to prepare for a certain purpose. He wanted them to let down their guard before taking the next action.

Looking at the intermittent fireworks in the sky at this time, it seems to be telling the end of the afterglow, and it seems to be making the final burning to welcome the coming dawn.

Looking down at the bonfires gathered everywhere, pirates are free and easy. They are drunk now, even if they are life-and-death enemies.

He raised his glass and clinked it with the shadow mage next to him, and took a sip. He asked the shadow mage to get the wine. He was a very good tool man and a ruthless person who would not even let go of his own shadow.

A person, a shadow, a self-aware shadow that can talk to each other, raise a glass to the bright moon, and become three people facing each other.

The Shadow Mage is no longer a dark mass now, but an identical person, whether it is clothing or appearance.

Yes, this is just a little trick, just like those with biscuit fruit abilities. In addition, the shadow essence is imprinted on the soul. As long as you use the ability to give self-consciousness, you will have the same ability to act as the main body. It does not even count as an awakening skill. With a little familiarity with the ability and enough imagination and creativity, you can do this with a Devil Fruit ability.

Looking at the bonfire banquet under the castle, the laughter and laughter,

"May this be the present every year, and this present be the present every year."

"Yes, My lord"

One person, one shadow, two glasses of wine; after toasting, let’s go together.
