"Odd... Why is everything so quiet?" (Y/n) peaked out from the bushes to look at the garden of the mansion. Nobody was there, no zombie or human, which was very weird considering the explosion she had heard earlier.
'Where us everyone? Is it a trap?'
Clutching onto the small shovel from earlier, (Y/n) snapped her fingers and quickly transported herself to the other side of the fence.

'Where to now? Using the entrance door would be very naive since they probably realized that I am gone. There might be zombie guards there. Maybe climbing through a window would be better?'
(Y/n) sat down at a blind corner and thought for a bit, looking over her shoulders and up at the skybm in case there were any of Moria's subordinates watching her. Thankfully, and weirdly enough, nobdoy was there.

"What happened-"
(Y/n) stopped herself as she heard another loud crash again and a monster-like screech following it. Quickly getting up from her spot, she looked around and tried to spot where exactly the noises were coming from.
"What is this?! A ship?!"
Hearing the voice now clearly, (Y/n) froze at the familiarity. She heard that voice before. That was Luffy's voice, but a little bit deeper.

Regardless, she could still make out the familiar sound of Luffy's voice from it.
"Oh no... That zombie woman I met earlier had a similar voice to mine, and that weird samurai had a voice similar to Brook's." She recalled, remembering the sounds of them clearly.

'So once they adopt our shadows, they don't just adopt our personalities and abilities. This is bad if a zombie of that size has Luffy's shadow. Luffy on his own is strong enough. With a larger body and bigger muscles, it will be a lot harder to take him down.'

There was another loud yell and crash heard. Wincing, she started running again, looking for a way to enter the mansion again. To her luck, she didn't really need to look for too long as she soon spotted an open window on the second floor.
'Just wait for me, my shadow. I will get you back.' She thought before snapping her fingers again.

"Moria!!! Where are you?!" Luffy's scream echoed through the hallway once he had successfully entered the mansion. He was now even angrier than he previously was since one of the ghosts caught him again, and the rest of the crew barely managed to get him out of his depressed state that the ghost caused. Luffy flinched and stumbled a little as the building shook again.

"What is going on here?!" Luffy yelled in annoyance as he ran into a room, hoping to find the Shichibukai there. And, much to his pleasure and anger, Moria was there, sitting and enjoying the chaos that Orse was causing outside.
"Why is this place shaking so hard?" He wondered and came to a halt when Moria's laugh echoed.

"It's probably because the ship got caught in some weird current. I think it's most likely your fault, though. Kishishishi!! So what do you want? What did you come here for?"
The Shichibukai grinned down at Luffy while internally counting down the minutes until (Y/n) would appear again.

"Ah! There you are! How dare you steal my shadow and try to force (Y/n) into some weird marriage arrangement! Give me back my shadow and hers! Zoro's, Sanji's, Brook's, and that zombie old man's! Give them all back!"
Luffy's demands caused the man to laugh and shake his head in amusement. His words did cause his sore mood to brighten up a little.

"Aren't you a greedy guy? How do you plan on doing that? Even if you defeat or kill me, the zombies who possess the shadows won't lose them by losing their governor. My ability is to govern shadows. There's only one way to make your wish come true: By facing all the shadows, and as their current governor command them back to go to their masters."
Luffy listened to Moria's words intently as the man spoke in a condescending tone.

"All you need to do is make me weak enough to do it. But, with your level of power, you can't even lay a finger on me."
"We will see about that. Gomu Gomu No Pistol!"
Luffy yelled and swung his arm at Moria, who didn't even move an inch. Instead, what stopped the attack was the man's shadow moving on its own and blocking it.
"A shadow!" Luffy yelled and quickly moved his arm before the shadowy figure could grab it.

"Try winning against my doppelganger, Straw Hat. I don't plan on giving anyone's shadows back, nor do I plan on losing against you. After all, I can't look like a loser in front of my bride."
The captain glared up at Moria as he heard the way he addressed (Y/n). He didn't like it one bit. (Y/n) will be his bride, not Moria's!

"I will not let you marry her! She is my crewmate, my friend, and my future bride! Not yours, you don't even know her!"
Luffy had seemingly hit a nerve with those words, and  the Shichibukai sat up, giving the captain a warning glare.

"Watch what you say, little boy. I can easily make your head explode."
"Try me." Luffy said coldly while staring up at both Moria and his shadow.
'The only man she will marry is me. Not you.'

Running down the hallway, (Y/n) quickly came across a flight of stairs with thankfully minimal interference from any of the zombies. Running down the stairs, she started thinking over the recent discoveries she had made thanks to the victims who resided in the forest outside.

'So Moria plans on using these undead people to conquer the New World, and we thankfully don't lose our abilities by losing our shadow. But, I wonder if our abilities are somehow enhanced in the zombies themselves. I hope not. I wonder how much salt I need for one zombie. They didn't tell me, and Ibwas stupid enough not to ask.'
The building shook again, and (Y/n) quickly grabbed onto the railing to not fall down. Closing her eyes, she held on for a bit longer until the building stopped shaking and creaking.

"That must be that zombie I heard earlier." She muttered while slowly opening her eyes and letting out a sigh of relief. That didn't last for too long as (Y/n) heard footsteps slowly approaching the stairs, and the person who was coming closer felt oddly familiar but also didn't.
"Hey! Who are you, intruder?"
'Zoro?!'
Slowly looking up at the top of the stairs, (Y/n) came face to face with a zombie wearing a helmet and carrying around three swords.

"Huh? Aren't you the run away bride of Master Moria?"
The zombie eyed her while she straightened up.
"I am not a run away bride! I am not even a bride to begin with, you dumbnut!"
"Whatever the case may be, I need to take you back to the Master. We need to hurry up with the wedding-"
"Absolutely not! I will not be some creeps trophy wife or whatever his fantasy is! Try what you will, I will not come with you!"

The zombie and her glared at each other, neither willing to give up their plans.
"Listen, I don't want to hurt you because Master Moria told us not to, but..."

(Y/n) tightly grabbed on the shovel as the zombie started approaching her.
"... You give me no other option."
'Crap... This is Zoro, not Sanji. Zoro doesn't care if I am a woman or not.' She thought while eyeing the two swords he was holding.
