I Will Protect You As Cora-San Did For Us

Chapter Four: Moria the shadow stealer pirate Part 4

The spider panting heavily.

Franky: "Not yet. The thing you sliced is a zombie! He'll still stand up!!"

The spider said "Wait. You... I've  seen you somewhere..."

Brook: "Yohohohoho! Don't worry! I'll deal with it!"

Franky: "Deal with it?"

Brook: "Even zombies have their weak points."

Suddenly the spider start screaming and the shadow got out from his mouth.

Franky: "What is that?!"

Miyuki: "It's his soul or rather a Shadow."

Brook: "Yes that's the zombie's soul."

Franky: "Soul?! But it just came out right before our eyes!!"

The spider mouses says "Taichou!!"

Brook: "Now, return! To the right owner of the soul!!"

"Talaran taichou!! Our taichou are down!"

Franky: "You completely beat him. What did you do?"

Brook: "It's called purification."

Franky: "Purification?!"

"Look there's no doubt... He's the hana uta. The one who made a big ruckus in thriller bark 5 years ago! We must report this to goshujin sama!" They ran away.

Brook: "Ah! This web is strong, but it's weak against fire."

Franky: "What?"

Miyuki: "As i thought... That's why shin is giving me the hint to use his power."

Brook: "You know about it miyuki-chan?"

Miyuki: "Not really. I actually don't know about it until shin giving hint to me by using his fire a little bit and i see the web melt. That's when i thought maybe the web were weak against fire."

Franky: Breathing fire towards the web on his left hand and it melt. "You are right! It's melting!"

They got rid of the web on their body.

Franky: "Mugiwara and the other's have been captured. You seem to know a lot of things about this island."

Brook: "Yes. But...what should i say... If they've already been captured. The possibility is high that it's too late..."

Franky: "What did you say?! Too late?!"

Brook: 'Don't yell at me please! I'll get confused! But because I'm a skeleton i don't have any face after all! Yohohohoho! Skull joke!"

Franky: Readying his weapon left.

Robin: "Stop it, he's already dead."

Brook: "Anyway... listen to me without messing around."

Franky: Got angry and aiming his weapon left at brook.

Robin: "Stop it, he's already dead!"

Brook: "Just like what i tried to tell you on the ship, I was wandering alone in the sea dozens of years ago. When i thought that i can make my way out from the demonic ocean, my rudder was broken and i was carried about on the tides endlessly. Then by chance... About 5 years ago, just like you guys, Thriller bark called out to me. Wanting to escape from the florian triangle no matter what. I walked around the island to look for a parts to fix the rudder."

Miyuki: "A place which is full of weird creatures and zombies it must've been hard for you brook-san... you did say you're afraid of those kind of things."

Brook: "Yes, As i step my foot on this island all that i could found on the island were monsters and zombies. Eventually... i was caught and brought to this building. There i saw one of the dancers who'd been caught before, and a corpse full with stitches and patches called mario. There, i saw a frightening guy appear and... Then the man shadow was torn off! It was amputated!"

Franky: "The shadow was amputated?"

Miyuki: "It must have been Moria's doing."

Robin: "Moria did?"

Miyuki: "Yes like i said before moria eaten a kage-kage no mi he can control shadow... So that means he's the only one who could do it."

Brook: "Miyuki-chan you know that man?"

Miyuki: "It's not like i know him... i just fought with him a long time ago that's why i know his ability. But at that time i was young so i couldn't figure it out that much until now."

Brook: "Y-you fought against him?!"

Franky: "Yeah surprised or not she won that battle!"

Brook: "How could this be? When did you fought him?"

Miyuki: "It happened a lot earlier when you came to thriller bark brook-san... it happen 10 years ago i was 7 at that time."

Brook: "I see you were so young... but fighting against one of the shichibukai and lived. You are truly one powerful young lady."

Miyuki: Giggle. "Thank you very much... Altough what you said about a shadow being torn off are weird. Because usually it's impossible to torn off a shadow just like that. But this is moria we're talking here. So doing that shouldn't be a problem for him."

Brook: "I didn't believe my eyes either... But of course... I don't have eyes! Yohohohohoho!"

Franky: "Cut the crap out you bastard or I'll hit you!"

Robin: "Yeah you should hit him."

Brook was hit by franky repeatedly.

Brook: Fall down. "Before long the same fate befell me. The man who has his shadow taken falls on the floor, but the amputated shadow still moves and is confined in the body of the corpses. After that what happen...having been a mere corpses just a moment ago, mario starts moving!"

Franky: "What the hell?!"

Brook: "Shadows no matter which person they are placed in, it still follow the movement of the origin soul. All of you must know this. Souls will be absolutely unchangeable from when you are born until death. The guy who can take souls and use them for himself is the great...member of the shichibukai, gecko moria!"

Robin: "He's the one who stole your shadow."

Brook: "He only needs a dead body and a shadow to make a zombie. What troublesome is the ferocity of the creature that his genius friend dr. hogback puts together. Using his medical knowledge, he has collected legendary warriors from around the world to be revived, and has a countless more stored away in his researched lab."

Robin: "Dr. hogback, that famous surgeon... to think that he's been here helping out pirates ever since the incidence of his disappearance... It seems you were right on mark this time too miyuki." Smile.

Miyuki: "It's just a hunch because i learned about medical. It's true that there's no way you can revived a dead ones. Only if you have an akuma no mi that posses such power or an ability that can make the dead ones revived again...but i never heard yet that kind of devil fruit exist or anything...Since dr. hogback were said a genius and because all of the zombies and that weird creature have that number, stitches and bandages on their body i couldn't think of any other person besides him."

Robin: "You are quiet knowledgeable about medical even more than chopper. Where did you learned it from?"

Miyuki: Smile softly. "From him... he really likes to learn about medical his father were a doctor. He's the one who teach me about medicals and because of that i still learned even after i was separated from him."

Robin: "You really do miss him." Smile.

Miyuki: "I still do...no matter how many years passed i would still care for him."

Robin smiled at miyuki pure feelings towards the man miyuki were searching for years.
