Chapter 29: Shadow and Light Meet!
The latter half of the Grand Line, the third Island along Route Two in the 'New World' Sea Area, was a winter snow Island called White Asia Three Islands. It was named so because it consisted of three main Islands arranged in a triangular shape, along with several micro-Islands that could barely accommodate a hundred people.
This place was also the third Island on Route One, so Pirates from both routes often encountered each other here and engaged in battle.
The victors continued onward, while the defeated sank into the Grand Line.
Therefore, the most common sights in this place were the Wreckage of Sea Ships and corpses impaled on wooden sticks on the beach to dry in the wind.
At this moment, on the easternmost of the three large Islands, it was occupied by twenty strange beings with horns on their heads, fangs in their mouths, and bodies all over six meters tall.
They exuded a murderous aura as they stepped through the blood-soaked snow, wandering among the corpses scattered all over the ground. Occasionally, upon hearing a faint sound of struggling breath, they would walk over without a word and stomp on the chest, sending the person to a swift end.
"Moriya! You won't die a good death! You will definitely not have a good end! It won't be long, cough cough cough, it won't be long before you trash also report to the Land of the Dead!"
Temple's hands were tied behind his back, and he knelt on the bloodstained snow, enduring the pain of his injuries all over his body. His eyes, red with tears, were filled with madness as he cursed at the person in front of him.
Just moments ago, those partners he had spent years with, were killed one by one by these Moonlight Pirates foreign bastards.
"Hee hee hee hee~"
Gekko Moria, with his slender and long figure, sat on the thickest corpse. To his right, a Long Sword over three meters long was stuck upright in the ground. Seeing the other party's hysterical appearance, he grinned, his mouth full of fangs, his smile very bright.
"Ugly, too ugly, Captain Temple of the War Elephant Pirates, you are still a famous Pirate with a Bounty of 67 million Belly, can you maintain some composure?"
But at this time, Captain Temple had long been in despair. Knowing that death was inevitable, he didn't care what Moriya said, only thinking about seizing the time to curse a few more times.
"Eh, how boring, I thought he was someone important."
Moriya stood up with a disappointed look, casually grasped the hilt of the sword and pulled it out of the ground, looked up at the bright Sunlight, and laughed.
"But I admire your feelings for these partners, Pirate Crews like yours are rare, so I decided to give you a gorgeous death, definitely more beautiful than Pirate King Roger's death."
"Wow, Captain is going to do Light Burial again!"
"Hahahaha, this is interesting, no matter how many times I've seen it, it's always something to look forward to!"
The Crew Members of the Moonlight Pirates gathered in front of Captain Temple, about ten meters away, their eyes wide with excitement as they waited for something to happen.
"You! What are you going to do?!"
Captain Temple saw these guys staring at him like he was a clown, and he was extremely angry and horrified. At the same time, a large Shadow loomed down from behind him.
This made his heart turn cold, and he understood that his death was near.
Could it be that he's going to cut off my head from behind?
Just then, Moriya swung down the Long Sword in his hand. The rapid sound of air being torn apart made Captain Temple close his eyes in resignation, thinking, "This is also good, my partners just died not long ago, I should be able to catch up with them on the Route to the Land of the Dead..."
But in the darkness, it seemed like a second, two seconds, three seconds passed, but he didn't feel the slightest pain. After about ten seconds, he opened his Eyes in confusion.
"I'm still alive?"
"Hee hee hee hee~ Experience the heat of the Sunlight, Captain Temple of the 'War Elephant'!"
Gekko Moriya, standing behind him, took a step to the right, and suddenly Captain Temple, who was kneeling on the ground, realized that the large Shadow in front of him was gone.
[Whoosh————]
Before he could react, suddenly, a violent burning sensation, like fire, erupted from his back, and then spread throughout his body.
The usually cold Sunlight falling from the sky, at this moment, transformed into the most cruel torture.
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
A shrill scream suddenly erupted. Gekko Moriya pinched the black Shadow he had just cut off with his left Hand, and excitedly watched Captain Temple turn into ashes bit by bit in the Sunlight.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming!"
"Hahahaha, this show is too good!"
His fellow Crew Members jumped up and down excitedly, waving their Hands and feet.
When Captain Temple's expression completely dissipated into nothingness, the Shadow in Moriya's Hand also disappeared. He was not surprised by this at all.
Even if the Shadow and the Entity are cut apart, there is still a certain connection. If the Entity changes, the Shadow will also undergo corresponding changes. Therefore, if the Entity turns into ashes, the Shadow will naturally cease to exist.
"Eh, we should have tried to catch them alive just now, and let their whole Pirate Crew enjoy Light Burial together, that scene would definitely be even better!" A Crew Member of the Moonlight Pirates grinned and laughed.
"Those dead ones are also okay, but Captain doesn't like cutting the Shadows of dead people."
"What's the point of watching dead people turn into ashes? The screams before death are the most attractive part!"
Just as a group of tall figures were chatting noisily, Gekko Moria scolded with a smile.
"You bastards, hurry up and search their Ship, and move everything that can be used and eaten to our Ship!"
"And throw all these corpses into the Sea, consider it a feast for the fish in the Sea!"
"Yes! Captain!"
"Let's go, let's go, let's go see what's on it!"
"It would be great if there was wine, we don't need Meat, there's a pile of Sea Kings Meat on the Ship, enough to eat..."
Gekko Moria watched them run excitedly towards the War Elephant Pirates' Ship, and turned around to walk towards his own Pirate Ship in a happy mood.
Today's Sunlight was too bright for him, not very comfortable. He still preferred a dark Environment, but occasionally watching a gorgeous Light Burial was also a good show.
"Yo~ Finally found you, Gekko Moria with a Bounty of 120 million Belly~"
Suddenly, a drawn-out, extremely lazy and leisurely voice sounded from behind him. Moriya hurriedly turned around and raised his sword in vigilance. At the same time, he personally saw a ball of golden Light transform into a Figure about half his height not far away.
This person wore a black Top Hat, with a bright yellow Suit inside, and most importantly, the pure white Justice Coat on his body fluttered gently in the wind and snow.
"Navy?"
Gekko Moria's face turned ugly, and he said, "Judging from the Ability you just used, it's a Logia Type, you are the newly promoted Admiral Candidate, Yellow Monkey?"
"Eh~ Amazing, you guessed it all at once~" Borsalino put on a surprised expression, and then casually asked, "Since that's the case, then do you want to obediently come with me, so that my Mission can be completed as soon as possible, and you will suffer less pain?"
"Hee hee hee hee——, although I don't know why you Navy are targeting me, but since you have appeared in front of me, then witness the Strength of a Top-Tier Logia Type!"
Gekko Moria grinned, revealing his sharp fangs, and sneered. At the same time, his Eyes stared at Borsalino maliciously, and the Long Sword in his Hand was eager to try.
"How troublesome~ I knew it wouldn't end so simply" Borsalino annoyingly took off the Top Hat on his head and put it into the pocket of his Overcoat.
In the next moment, he instantly appeared in front of Gekko Moria, and at the same time, golden Light shone towards the latter's face and pupils.
The intense Light forced him to subconsciously close his Eyes, but a light and airy greeting rang in his ears.
"Have you been kicked by Light~~?"
