Step, step, step…
The two figures rushed forward from opposite sides at astonishing speed.
Seeing them charging over, Gecko Moria was surprised—but quickly turned furious.
"You think two lousy robots can destroy my Florian Triangle?"
"Marines… you must be dreaming!"
"Men! Since the Marines refuse to cooperate, forget it!"
"Destroy everyone on that warship!"
Moria roared.
The pirate minions immediately responded.
They drew their weapons, killing intent rising.
"Kill them all!"
"Right! None of you will leave alive!"
"Damn Marines, you don't know your place!"
"Lord Moria, show them the power of your zombie army!"
The pirates shouted as they rushed forward.
But in the next moment—
Beams of light suddenly fired from the mouths of the two Seraphim.
The beams struck the ground.
BOOM!
BOOM!
Explosions erupted across the Florian Triangle.
The ground trembled violently again and again.
Seeing this scene, Moria's eyes widened in shock.
"Th-That… isn't that Kizaru's ability?!"
"So these machines do have some tricks."
"But do you really think that's enough to defeat me?"
"Zombie Army!"
Moria waved his arm.
Suddenly—
Countless zombie soldiers rose from the ground.
Groaning loudly, they charged toward the Seraphim.
However—
Seeing this, Seraphim Moria performed the same motion.
The exact same ability activated.
In the next moment—
Half of the zombies that Moria had summoned suddenly turned against him.
Two groups of zombies immediately began tearing each other apart.
The pirates of the Moria Pirates were completely stunned.
Their eyes widened in disbelief.
"Th-That… isn't that Lord Moria's ability?!"
"Why can that kid use it too?!"
"Is this the Marine's new robot?!"
"This is terrifying! It can even use Devil Fruit abilities!"
"If that's true… how are we supposed to fight?!"
Moria himself froze.
His lips twitched violently.
Even his voice trembled.
"Damn it… why… why do those brats have my ability?!"
Moria was completely dumbfounded.
This ability was his greatest pride.
He had planned to gather powerful corpses and rebuild his strength to challenge Kaido someday.
But now—
A robot possessed the same power.
It made his Devil Fruit ability feel cheap.
Moria's mood dropped to rock bottom.
Since the day he was defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates, this was the angriest he had ever been.
"Since this damn machine has my power…"
"I'll start with you!"
"Shadow Horn Spear!"
Moria roared.
A massive amount of shadows gathered beneath his feet.
The shadows condensed into a gigantic spear.
The enormous black spear pierced through the sky as it shot toward Seraphim Moria.
Seeing the incoming attack—
Seraphim Moria calmly raised both arms.
Jet-black Armament Haki spread across its forearms instantly.
BOOM!!
The Shadow Horn Spear crashed into the Seraphim's arms.
A violent explosion echoed.
Sparks burst everywhere.
But—
Seraphim Moria only paused briefly before charging forward again.
Moria's mouth fell open.
"What?!"
"My Shadow Horn Spear didn't work?!"
"That machine even knows Haki?!"
His face twisted in disbelief.
A robot.
A machine made of metal.
And it could use Haki?
For the first time—
Moria truly felt the terrifying power of technology.
At that moment—
He finally realized the severity of the situation.
If this battle continued…
He might actually die.
Meanwhile—
The pirates of the Moria Pirates suddenly shouted.
"Huh?"
"Where did Kuma go?"
In the blink of an eye, the chubby child who had been standing before them had vanished.
Step—Step—Step!
The sound of air being kicked echoed repeatedly.
It was Seraphim Kuma using Shave, one of the Six Powers.
In an instant—
He had relocated elsewhere.
"There!"
"So fast!"
"He's heading toward Lord Moria!"
"Wait… that's—"
"Ursus Shock!!"
"Watch out, Lord Moria!"
The pirates screamed warnings.
But what greeted them instead were countless laser blasts.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The pirates were blown apart by the explosions.
At the same time—
Seraphim Kuma had already closed to within one hundred meters of Moria.
A gigantic paw-shaped shockwave appeared in the sky.
Then—
It slammed down toward Moria.
As the massive Ursus Shock grew larger and larger in his vision—
A cold chill ran down Moria's spine.
"If Seraphim Moria has my full Devil Fruit ability…"
"Then this Seraphim Kuma…"
"Probably has Kuma's full Devil Fruit power too."
"If that's the case…"
"There's no way I can block it!"
Moria had always feared Bartholomew Kuma.
That silent, terrifying man.
Without hesitation—
Moria covered his entire body in Armament Haki.
BOOM!!!
The gigantic Ursus Shock struck him instantly.
The Armament Haki surrounding his body shattered immediately.
Pfft—
Blood sprayed from Moria's mouth.
The terrifying pain from the impact sent him crashing to the ground.
"Ahhh—!"
"It hurts… it hurts so much!!"
