Pirates from island owner to king

Everyone's eyes also looked over.

These bats give people a dark and cold feeling. They fall on the stage and gather into a tall figure that looks like a legendary vampire or a demon.

He has pale skin without a trace of blood, sharp horns on his head, pointed ears, and teeth as sharp as wild beasts.

Although people have seen various challengers in this duel field, many of them are not like normal humans, but like monsters.

And there are also people with fruit abilities.

however.

Compared with this Moonlight Moria, there is still some gap.

"Isn't this guy a real monster?"

Many spectators in the stands near Moria could not help but beat their hearts.

If there weren't tens of thousands of spectators present, they might have turned around and fled.

"Hehehehe...where is my opponent?"

Moria ignored the tens of thousands of spectators and stared at the woman on the ring with a strange smile and asked.

The woman was obviously frightened.

"We have invited our God of Thunder below... Lord Ananda!"

The woman's voice was trembling, but when she said Ananda's name, she seemed to see her patron saint, and the tension and fear on her face disappeared.

It was at this time.

A light appeared in front of the woman, a shining white light.

The light converged into a human form, and when the light converged, Ananda's tall figure appeared.

The woman was like a fan who saw a star, and immediately ran over and took Ananda's arm, as if asking for protection.

"I don't think I need to say more about who Lord Ananda is. Then, the stage will be handed over to Lord Ananda."

As the woman reluctantly let go of Ananda's arm and retreated, there were only two people left on the stage.

Moonlight Moriah, who is nearly seven meters tall and has not yet turned into a fat man, does not seem to be good at physical skills.

His body shape was a bit thin compared to his height. In his hand, he held a large long knife that was over three meters tall.

At this time, he was looking at Ananda from a high position.

Ananda was only [-] meters tall. Compared with Moriah, he was like a child standing in front of a giant.

However, Ananda's figure was like a majestic iron tower.

Ananda was also looking at Moriah.

In the box, Wang Hai also met Moriah for the first time. He had previously contacted him through a phone bug.

And let Chuan Pu come into contact once.

Now, Moria's information, through golden finger identification, appeared in front of him.

Wang Hai thought as expected.

Just as he expected, Moria's force value was as high as 92 points, and he was undoubtedly a strong man at the level of candidate for general.

Among them, most of the strength comes from the Shadow Fruit ability.

However, Moria's swordsmanship and armament are both good.

They have actually reached an advanced level.

but.

Domineering strength has a lot to do with will.

If Moria was like in the original plot, after being defeated by Kaido, he had been hiding in the dark, tinkering with the so-called zombie army, but did not dare to really take revenge on Kaido, wasting more than ten years.

I'm afraid, the will for revenge will only gradually be worn away.

In the end, it would not be a surprise for Armed Color to be domineering and fall to the elementary level.

As a result, in the original plot, his strength was at the level of a lieutenant general at best.

Moreover, he may not be considered to be the top among lieutenant generals, but with his fruit ability, he can even compete with the general candidates.

Therefore, it was not a surprise to be defeated by Luffy who had not been out at sea for a long time.

The other Shichibukai Crocodile, who was also defeated by Luffy, is in a similar situation when you think about it.

He also challenged the Pirate Emperor, but he challenged the world's strongest Whitebeard.

After the defeat, he was probably deeply shocked and felt that it was impossible to defeat Whitebeard just by relying on his fruit power and domineering power.

So, he turned to look for the legendary ancient weapon Hades.

Obviously.

Whether it's fruit ability or domineering power, they are all relatively idealistic things.

Only with a firm enough belief can you become stronger and stronger.

When Crocodile chose Hades, he was actually destined to fail.

After being defeated by Luffy, he was imprisoned in Impel Down for a period of reflection, and then escaped with Luffy.

He also participated in the battle at the top, took the initiative to face Whitebeard, and obviously regained his heart of being strong.

"You seem to be looking forward to this battle?" Gion suddenly asked.

"Moonlight? Moria has good potential, but I don't know if he can regain his confidence."

Wang Hai didn't hide anything, and Gion could be considered one of his own now.

It doesn't matter if the crane is still here.

Being interested in Moria is not a big deal.

In the original plot, Moria became the Shichibukai, but now, Moria is destined to be defeated by Ananda.

So, as a loser, whether Moria can still become a Shichibukai is unknown.

If Moria didn't become a Shichibukai, it would be a good thing for him.

Because of this, he has a better chance of recruiting Moria.

Through the golden finger identification, he became very interested in Moria.

Because Moria has top-level fruit development talents, advanced physical skills, advanced physique, advanced swordsmanship, and advanced weapons and colors.

There is no doubt that Moria's talent is not much worse than Gion's, but more of a different focus.

One person is biased towards swordsmanship, and the other is biased towards fruit abilities.

In the end, they all have the potential to become generals.

However, whether he can eventually reach the level of a general depends on whether Moria can break his inner demons and regain his confidence.

In any case, he didn't mind trying to recruit Moria, who was at a low point.

Just think of it as a risky investment.

On the ring, the two said nothing, and the battle began quickly.

Both of them have the strength of a general candidate, so logically they should be equally matched.

But in fact, as soon as the battle began, Ananda showed an overwhelming advantage over Moria.

Within a limited space, Moria can move freely in the shadow, just like teleporting in space.

Therefore, in terms of speed, even Ananda's Thunder Fruit ability does not have much advantage.

However, his strengths lie in defense and attack.

No matter Moria's fruit ability attack or his domineering attack, he couldn't break through Ananda's domineering defense.

As the Golden Bell became more sophisticated, Ananda's armed defense had even reached the level of a general.

Although it has not reached the top level, the advanced weapon color and the use and tempering of domineering power by the golden bell cover at least have a defense close to the top level of domineering power.

This alone left Moriah helpless.

In terms of attacks, Ananda, whether it is physical skills combined with domineering attacks, or simply attacks with the thunder fruit ability, are more powerful than Moria's attacks.

but.

Moria also showed various applications of the shadow fruit ability. He was worthy of being a man who challenged the pirate emperor Kaido. Various fruit ability attacks forced Ananda to deal with them carefully.

Therefore, even though this was a battle where Moria had no advantage, it was still a very exciting showdown, and the audience was hooked.

It also took Ananda nearly an hour to defeat Moriah, which already broke the record.

Previously, the longest time he defeated a challenger was 21 minutes.
