Upon activating his technique, his entire metabolic rate went so high that his sweat vaporized rapidly making his body look as if it were steaming. Then there was the fact that his entire skin turns slightly pink and shiny from the increased blood flow. "Will we be eliminated? Or will Moria be taken down first?" This had been asked was all looked to Luffy.
"Go, Luffy!" Chopper shouted as the first punch to be throw had been Moria, down at Luffy who jumped out of the way. But that had been followed up by the giant trying to claw him, but Luffy dodges
"Gum Gum..." Which had been when the rubber men grabbed into the helmed of the Warlords pants. With that being the case he stretched out arms. "...Jet Rocket!" And finally instantly propels himself forward with blinding speed to hit Moria hard, and the man was barely able to keep standing, however,
"Look! The shadows are leaking out!" As price a small amount of shadows began to fly out his mouth.
"Gum Gum..." And Luffy was stopping there, stretching both pairs of arms far back behind him. "...Jet Bazooka!" That the propels them forward with blinding speed to struck Moria's stomach once again. "... Jet Bazooka! Jet Bazooka!" Luffy attack with it again and again.
"Tons of shadows are being released!" Which had force Moria to release hundreds of shadows again, making him weaker.
"Why are the shadows he controls leaking out?!" The other Pirates couldn't seem to understand.
"The more Moria Gecko's consciousness fades, the more control over the shadows he loses." Luna stated that watching the shadows flying away.
"Yeah, because 1,000 shadows is too much for even Moria to control!" That been shouted by Usopp, as Moria had reached his limit.
"Gum Gum..." Luffy had landed on the side wall of the tower, using it as if it were ground.
"Brick Bat!" However, Moria seemed to have used the small balls of shadows that turned into bats to attack Luffy. Although, that was one had thought at first, until the bats began to transform and completely encase Luffy in a black box made out of solidified shadows. "Black Box!" With Luffy encased in the box, Moria pulled back his fist. "I'LL CRUSH YOU!" And smashes it down onto the box. This had caused even the Straw Hats to become shocked.
"A direct hit...!"
"By the punch that split the entire island...!"
"STRAW HAT!!" The Rolling Pirates had been the only ones shouting as the demented box fallen to the ground and slightly bouncing as it did. "STOP IT!" That had been shouted as Moria was going to use all his force to stomp onto it now.
"THIS IS A BAPTISING!" That was shouting and Luffy's arm could be see hanging out of the box. "This is what you amateurs get for pretending to be big shots in this huge world!" Moria was shouting, sweating large amounts of sweat while also breathing heavily before stomping down on Luffy again. "This is what happens when you dare to oppose a Warlord!" He stomped down again.
"H-He's crushed..."
"People should know their own limits!" Once again, stomps. "Otherwise they perish in vain!" And other time.
"Luffy!" Brook shouted out to him.
"Luffy!" As did Chopper.
"LUFFY!" Usopp was in tears as the sight of the crushed box. However, something was moving from inside which had everyone focused upon the crashed box. Until it had been ripped apart and even after a number of stomps, Luffy breaks out. Which had come as a shock to Moria and the Rolling Pirates.
"HE STOOD UP!!" Although, he was pretty battered and bruised not to mention breathing heavily. Even more stream was surrounding him.
"Whether we're amateurs..." Luffy speaking had confused Moria. "Whether we perish in vain...NO ONE... WILL... TAKE ME DOWN..." That had been declared.
"No one will take you down? On what grounds do you make such a baseless claim?" Moria seemed to have found it amusing that the young pirate before him had shouted that. "You simply make yourself appear more inexperienced!"
"Cuz I'm rubber!" Usopp, Chopper, Franky and Brook were speechless as Luffy's words. However, it brought smiles to Zoro, Nami, Sanji, and Robin's faces. As for Luna, she wasn't all that surprised, flicking her hair as if saying 'as if that wasn't obvious'. "You just watch... I'll make you spit all of 'em out!"
"What's with this guy!?"
"Is he immortal?!"
"Amazin'!" He was being watched closely, however, time was running low as the sun began peaking over the building ruins.
"The morning sun!" So of the Rolling Pirates had been caught up in the sun as they had been distracted by the fight.
"Idiots! Get back in the shadows! Yer gonna burn up!"
"Save me! Impossible! We're gonna disappeared!" Panicking broke out from behind.
"Hurry an' get in the shadows! This place ain't lastin' much longer!"
"Third Gear!" Luffy brought his right thumb to his mouth, which he bite and blow into... "Bone Balloon!" which had inflated the entire arm.
"Oi! He's using them both at the same time!?" This was something caused concern.
"There's no way he can!" It was because those of the Straw Hat knew what happens when just using one technique. "Don't you don't remember what happened to you in the last fight!?" Usopp was shouting this question out of worry for his captain. The last time he used these techniques was one after the other and it had caused his body to become paralyse due to the fact that they were too much for his body to use. However, Luffy wasn't backing down.
"Don't be reckless, Luffy!" The captain had the air travel through his body. "Your body's gonna be torn apart!" It had become clear that the boy was reaching his limit.
"Gum Gum..." Yet, his was in a position as if her were going to pounce. "...Giant Jet Shell!" And had launched his air filled body towards Moria, and rammed into him like a large cannonball.
"The shadows are coming out!" And the attacked forced Moria to regurgitate more shadows
"Think I'll let you escape?!" But he tries to hold them in by covering his mouth with both hands and Luffy had bounced back onto the ground. "Shadows! I am your master!"
"That bastard! He's plannin' ta keep our shadows from us!"
"My shadow!" Lola's voice had caused her men to look at her surprise. "Come back to me!' She calls for her shadow to come back to her.
"Captain Lola!"
"Captain Lola!"
"Captain Lola!" And they were calling out her name as she stood unmoved still.
"Can you hear me, my shadow!?" She continued, with even the Straw Hats looking back to her as she spoke. "Haven't we been through so much together since our birth!?" More of Lola's face bursted into steam as the sun hit it. "You and I were born together! Return to me! I've spent 3 years searching for your zombie! And now you're here, aren't you!? If you can hear me, get back here! Come back to me!"
"Captain Lola!" The Ricky Brothers and another man tackled her to the ground, trying to get her out of the sun light.
"Get in the shadows!" The larger one shouted at her.
"Yer body's gonna disappear!" With the skinner one also shouted.
"But...! Don't you guys feel anything!? They're right there!" Lola was asking them, looking up to Moria that was still trying to hold onto the shadows.
"It's true, all our shadows're gathered in Moria's body."
"And they're right before us! We'll never get another chance like this again!" They knew that all too well. "But the opponents are Warlord... This can't...! Come back!"
"Come back, out shadows!"
"Come back! Come back! Come back! Come back! Come back! COME BACK!!" All Rolling Pirates were shouting in rhythm and sync.
"I also have something to tell my shadow..." Luffy was smiling going with both Second and Third Gear. "If you really want to be the King of the Pirates... you gotta..." He had disappeared in a flash. "GET THE HELL BACK TO ME!" And before anyone knew it, he had once again slammed himself into Moria. The Pirates were cheering him on while also shouting for their shadows to return. The force of the attack had caused Moria to slam into the main tower of Thriller Bark, which had been to collapses over the top of him. It was all falling down and shaking to island as it completely fallen, and as the only part of Moria that hadn't been covered by the building was his face, he had no way of stopping the shadows.
"Straw Hat... you... You bastard! Then go see for yourself... in the New World... What a true nightmare there is... In the New World...!" With the shadows escaping, Moria warns Luffy about the nightmares awaiting him in the New World.
"The shadows are returning!"
"At long last!" The shadows were shooting up into the sky like a black pillar. "THE SHADOWS ARE COMING BACK!" But all that hadn't matter as soon as the collapsed building blocking the sun had broken in half and the light had poured in brightly.
"O-Oi, you guys...!" Usopp had turned his head shouting at his crew who's shadows had been taken, however, it had been too late as the morning sun had hit their faces Luffy, Zoro, Robin, and Sanji begin to burn up.
"Oi...!" Leaving the others shocked.
"Shadows, hurry up and..." Lola was shouting but
"What in the-" They were upper bodies began to burn.
"No way..." Nami had her mouth covered in terror and even Luna, standing right beside Robin eyes had widen greatly.
"Oi, you guys! W-What the hell is going on here!? DIDN'T WE BEAT MORIA ALREADY!?" Usopp was crying not understanding what was happening.
"LUFFY!!" and Chopper was also crying out in terror.
"OI, SANJI!" Still crying, Usopp called out to the cook.
"ROBIN!!" Nami cried out to the archaeologist.
"Zoro!" Even Luna was slightly panicked calling out to the swordsman.
"THEIR BODIES ARE BEING DISINTEGRATED!!" They could only watch in terror as their crew members were vaporizing by the sunlight.
"Why!? Shouldn't we have won!?" They had defeated Moria, so why was it that they were all still burning? "Oi! Didn't we make it in time!?" Panic had broken out everywhere, as some of the Rolling Pirates were hiding away.
"They're disappearing!!"
"CAPTAIN LOLA!!" Lola also began to disintegrate. "GUYS!!"
"WE SHOULDA WON!!"
