"One Piece" Events:
—————————
The forest Pirates watched in horror as Moria's body began to expand, absorbing more and more shadows as he shouted his challenge to Luffy.
"They're all shadows… Don't tell me…!! He's gathering up all the shadows on the island… And feeding them all into his own body?!!!" Nami watched in amazement as a large number of Shadows gathered in Moria's body, which began to become even larger.
"Mugiwara…!!! The shadows you absorbed….. There were about a hundred, were there not…?!"
"Then I shall take in 200... 300... 600... 700... Kishi… KISHISHISHISHI..!!! One Thousand…..!!!!"
A thousand shadows created an enormous monster, one that seemed to reach the very heavens.
"AAAAAAAGHHHHHHH!!!"
"No way…..!!"
"...!!!"
"It's all over...!!! What is that thing?!!!
The Forest Pirates screamed in terror as the monstrosity loomed.
But Luffy and his crew stood their ground, ready to fight even in the face of a powerful adversary. Luffy declared his intent: "If it's a nightmare you want, I'll show you one!!! Moria!!!"
"I'm not gonna play nice with you!!!"
...
..
Moria was eventually defeated, but his last words sent a chill through everyone:
"URAGH… MUGIWARA… Ughah… You… then you go see for yourself… what a real nightmare is…! In the New World!"
"OWAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
"The shadows are returning!!!"
The shadows returned, and the island of Thriller Bark was destroyed. But even after all the destruction, Luffy and his crew remained standing, victorious. Despite the sunlight coming into contact with Zoro, Sanji, and Robin, they refused to move an inch.
Usopp: "Oi!!! You guys!!!"
Lola cried, "Shadows!!! Hurry!!!"
...
..
The battle was over, and the crew emerged victorious. Moria had been defeated, and the shadows returned to their rightful owners, scattered throughout the world. But is this really the end...?
•———•———•———•———•———•———•
Thriller Bark Island:
Moria was devastated by his loss to Mugiawara Luffy, even after using his final move. He couldn't believe that he, the one who had once fought almost equally with Kaido, had been beaten so soundly.
"Damn you, Mugiwara!" he exclaimed in frustration.
Moria had expected to lose the battle against Luffy, as he knew that as the hero of the story, Luffy could not lose or even risk losing his life. However, he had hoped to inflict heavy losses on the future Pirate King, at least causing him to lose one of his comrades.
But that didn't happen. Instead, Moria lost badly, even in front of another Shichibukai. He was humiliated and angry.
"Ha! There is still that tyrant Bartholomew Kuma!" he thought to himself. "Given the completely depleted state of straw hats, it is not difficult for Kuma to completely exterminate them."
After seeing the orders that the world government gave to Bartholomew Kuma through Den Den Mushi, Moria's smile widened.
"Kishishishishi!!! Make me enjoy a good last show, Bartholomew Kuma!!"
...
Merveille Island:
"Jihahahahaha!! Those pirates who just got their shadows back said that you tied up with Moria, Kaido, is that right"
Kaido was incensed when he heard that pirates who had just regained their shadows claimed that he had tied up with Moria. Veins appeared on his forehead as he exclaimed, "Nonsense! This is complete nonsense! I started the fight with an easy position, and he think he matched me in strength. This is pure nonsense!"
He took another swig of his favorite sake before continuing, "Wororororororo!! How could I lose to a beginner who doesn't seem to have learned Haki even after 20 years of fighting with me?"
"A trash who only relies on the excellence of his race and his Devil Fruit to bully the weak in Paradice will not be able to achieve anything on this sea!"
"What was his dream again?" The Pirate King! Heh, Worororororo!!"
"Jiahahahaha!! You are cruel even in your words, partner!"
Shiki laughed along with Kaido and commented on the events of the volume, as they reached the final stages.
...
Urura Island:
Underneath the Shiki stronghold lies the Kaido stronghold.
Rob's paper clone reappeared on it, and he strolled towards Little Yamato's place with a sweet smile on his face.
Even from a distance, he noticed the worried expression on Little Yamato's face. Upon arriving, he sat down beside her on the couch he had made for her earlier.
"What is bothering you, Yamato-chan?" Rob inquired while softly patting her head.
Little Yamato, with teary big eyes and a melancholic look, showed Rob a manga page. "Why did another villain appear after the crew worked so hard to defeat Moria?" she asked.
•———•———•———•———•———•———•———•
Bartholomew Kuma: "Pirate Hunter Zoro, let's start with you…" the page read.
•———•———•———•———•———•———•———•
Rob smiled after reading it. "It seems Kuma's debut has begun… Don't worry too much, Yamato-chan. Everything will be alright."
"Now, let's head back home~"
...
Ilisia Kingdom:
"My child, why are you crying again?" Father Victor asked as he embraced his daughter Cindry for the hundredth time to console her.
But this time, Victoria Cindy shook her head slightly, indicating that she wasn't crying because of sadness.
"I'm happy, dad~ Margarita has finally regained her shadow, freeing my body from the misery it was experiencing in the manga," she explained.
Although she was already crying, this time her tears were of joy.
The downfall of Moria and the return of the shadow that was moving her corpse to its original owner's shadow filled her with delight.
She had unwavering faith in Chopper and his companions, who never failed to disappoint her.
Hearing this made both father and mother laugh merrily, and the nightmare was finally over.
...
Ilka Kingdom:
"...Finally," Jigoro grinned as he saw his lifeless body without any shadow propelling it.
"Well, it's much better to see myself dead than to be a moving corpse in a manga."
"After all, death is the ultimate fate of all living beings."
...
In another town:
"You finally woke up, you bastard!"
In another art store in West Blue, the young Absalom glared at the manga page depicting Hogback awakening his future self after being defeated with malevolent eyes.
Who would want to witness their defeat so profoundly, particularly if they thought themselves invincible?
"Can you still do something to avenge our loss, Hogback?"
