Pirates: There is no prohibition of fishing in Marijoa.

Jerry wasn't sure if defeating Ryoma would cause the shadow to return directly to Brook, but he knew that salt would definitely be useful.

A black shadow quickly flew out of Longma's mouth and rushed towards Brook's feet.

"Yo ho ho, my shadow! You're finally back."

Brook, who originally looked like a dried fish, saw Shadow coming back and shouted excitedly, and was about to say something.

"Boom!"

There was a sudden loud noise from the Mast Mansion opposite. Jerry activated his Observation Haki and turned his head to look.

"Just sit there for a while. The house shouldn't collapse yet. I'll be back soon."

After saying something to Brooke, he jumped out of the window and disappeared.

Outside the window was a building several stories high, and below was Perona's courtyard garden. Jerry jumped down without hesitation.

After glancing at the zombies lying on the ground, he rushed towards the direction of Perona's hall opposite where the explosion came from.

……

Going back a little in time, Ace brought Deus and the other two to this place. In addition to the dense bushes in front of them, they could vaguely see many dark shadows swaying in the distance.

Looking closely, they found that it was a large number of zombies of various colors, some in human form, some in animal form, and some even in armor.

These are none other than Absalom and Perona's zombie soldiers, generals, and animal zombies.

Due to the time constraints, Ace and his companions headed straight towards the mansion after landing, without even stopping on the way, making it impossible for Perona and her group to arrange too many plans.

He could only hastily gather a large number of zombies together, hoping to crush them simply and brutally.

At this moment, seeing that Ace and his men had easily broken through the scary zombies in the mansion, the zombies that had recently gathered in the courtyard suddenly became like a group of ferocious beasts, and attacked frantically from all directions.

"Fireflies and stars!"

Countless tiny fireballs appeared on his body, slowly flying and hovering around the few people. As Ace changed his gestures, he suddenly rushed towards the enemy.

"Wow!"

"He's mad!"

"It's burning, run away!"

Screams rang out one after another. Those ordinary zombie soldiers and animal zombies were simply unable to cope with the sky full of fireflies before them.

Some zombies caught fire after being hit and ran around in panic, causing their companions beside them to burn as well.

"Humph!"

"Death!"

The zombie general in the enemy group, with the help of the soldiers blocking the gunfire, flew forward and launched various attacks.

"Oh ha ha, you guys are so slow!"

"That's right. Although Jerry is not very accurate, the training method he provided is still somewhat desirable."

Scar, who was not a small fry in the first place, and Deuce, who had turned over a new leaf, practiced for a while.

I felt that if I were to face the siege alone, it would probably be impossible to defeat so many enemies, but escaping to save my life was easy.

With Ace taking the lead at this time, the two of them were able to cooperate with each other, running around, and constantly coordinating and fighting back.

"It's self-defense, I won't be polite then!"

Turning into flames, Ace attacked everywhere, constantly repelling numerous zombie generals, and even burning many small soldiers and animal zombies to ashes.

Ace led the charge, as if he could fight against thousands of troops alone. The zombies' fear of fire could not withstand his torment.

Every move he made was like a raging fire. Wherever he went, no grass grew, and he defeated the enemy step by step.

Before long, except for a few zombie generals who retreated at the first sign of danger and had long-range attack capabilities, a large number of soldier zombies fell one after another, causing heavy casualties.

Some of them were even forced to fall from high bridges, and the scene was very tragic.

Deuce and the other two, who had benefited from the opportunity, followed Ace's footsteps and rushed into the hall of Perona across the bridge.

After entering the hall, the three found that the zombies were forming a battle formation and were on high alert, obviously ready for battle.

Among the scattered zombies, there were two other figures standing. One was a girl with pink hair and twin ponytails floating in the air. It was the separated soul of Perona.

The other one is a huge, garlic-shaped, completely black figure. This is the shadow clone separated by Moria, whom he calls the Shadow Mage.

Perona covered her mouth and chuckled, not taking the enemy seriously at all.

"Oh, oh, you are indeed a powerful person, but that's it."

Moria's voice also sounded vaguely:

"That's right. After I take his shadow away, my zombie team will be able to grow a bit more."

"Jiheihei, I originally wanted to ask you to help me get a shadow, but it just so happens that I'm bored and have nothing to do, so let's take a look together."

Both of them appear in images separated by their fruit abilities, but no one knows where their real bodies are hidden.

Although he didn't know much about Moria's specific abilities, as soon as Scar saw the black shadow garlic, he knew that it was probably the real boss, and he whispered a reminder to Ace.

"Boss Ace, it looks like that garlic is Moria, be careful."

"Yeah, you too." Ace nodded.

"let's go!"

Ace wanted to capture the leader first, and just as he took a step, his sharp eyes caught the enemy's equally ready attack.

The zombies changed their previous attitude, became fearless and ruthless, and attacked ferociously like jackals, tigers and leopards.

Ace had no choice but to deal with the enemies in front of him one by one, but Moria's shadow was also moving.

The Shadow Mage's clone has the strength of Moria, cannot be injured, and can change its form at will, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

"Ah ah!"

"Oh!"

"Jiheihei, it's useless."

Moriah was hiding somewhere, and his voice came out vaguely. His shadow kept haunting Ace.

All of Ace's punches and kicks were blocked by the shadow, either as a whole or with scattered moves.

Moria's shadow sometimes uses its sharp claws and sometimes sends out some shadow bats to constantly disrupt Ace's offensive and defensive rhythm.

While the besieging zombies were attacking frantically, two zombie generals were separated to deal with Deuce and the other two first.

"Flame Ring, Great Pillar of Fire!"

"Boom!"

Seeing this, Ace decisively decided not to delay any longer. He released powerful energy and launched a fierce group attack on the besieged enemies.

The giant pillar of fire shot straight up into the sky, engulfing Moria's shadow and all the zombies around him.

The entire Mast Mansion was shaking due to Ace's attack, and even the ceiling of the hall was blown up, forming a huge hole.

"Humph! How dare you destroy my hall!"

Perona's eyes flickered, and she was glad that she was not using a physical object.

"Jihehe, it's a pity that it doesn't work on me."

Moriah's shadow fragments scattered into countless bat shapes, also unaffected.

Glancing at the zombies around him that had been basically eliminated, Ace breathed a sigh of relief and was about to launch another attack.

However, he was constantly entangled by Moria's shadow bat, which covered the sky and the sun, completely blocking his vision. After a while.

"careful!"

An alarm sounded in his heart, and at the same time he heard the shouts of Skaar and Deuce, but Ace still didn't have time to avoid it, and the three of them were hit at the same time.

"I'm such a loser. All I do all day is look at those skeletons. I might as well become a skeleton too." Scar lay on the ground, extremely frustrated.

“Ah! I’d better die. I’m still dreaming of writing some crappy novel. I’m letting society down by even living in this world.” Deus knelt down and covered his face.

"If there is an afterlife, I want to be a seaweed, swaying in the wind." Ace lay on the ground, muttering softly.
