After a few days on the infamous Ghost Island, Thriller Bark Island:
"Damn you! Mugiwa-ah! No, I mean, damn you! Sky Sword!"
The owner of this island, Gecko Moria, looked angrily at the latest news in the World Economy News Paper.
A month and a half ago, the newspaper announced the imprisonment of his future subordinate, Dr. Hogback, in the central prison in the New World.
The same newspaper also announced the birth of a new manga character in this world in Ohara... This means Sky Sword also took his future subordinates, Perona! She is under his protection... This greatly angered Moria at that time and drove him to train even harder like a madman to someday regain his precious subordinates.
And today, another news emerged that caused Moria's anger: "The Hunters' Guild sweeps Devil's Sea to unveil the truth behind the giant monsters there."
The newspaper announced that the entire Florian Triangle is now under the authority of the Hunters' Guild and is a restricted area. Any interference or attempt to infiltrate it would be considered a violation of the law and would be severely punished.
"What are you angry about again, Moria-sama?" Absalom asked with concern upon seeing this.
"Oh, Absalom... It seems that something else belonging to the Thriller Bark Pirates has been taken from us... Absalom, we must become stronger to reclaim it all," exclaimed Moria.
"Can we even become stronger than a monster like Rob? He's on a completely different level. He can use the powers of the characters he drew, like Ulquiora, from that time when he countered Poseidon's attack with only his body..."
"We can't even think about challenging that man... because challenging him is a losing proposition, Captain."
Gecko Moria stood in astonishment, gazing at Absalom after hearing that.
After a few seconds of astonishment, he confidently shook his head.
"It seems you don't trust your captain, young man. Don't you know that I have the potential to become the next Shadow Monarch? I can also use the powers of one of the strongest characters drawn by Rob. If I master it completely, I'll be on a whole different level... Come, Absalom, I'll show you something."
As soon as he finished speaking, Moria rose from his comfortable seat and left his palace, motioning for Absalom to follow him.
"Oh, alright..." Absalom quietly followed behind his captain, eager to see how Moria could obtain the powers of manga characters.
Outside, in an open area, several corpses appeared... Animals like lions, tigers, and bears, even the corpses of some humans... They were all lifeless bodies, long dead.
"Look at this closely."
Absalom looked at what his captain intended to do.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar word from his captain's mouth that sent shivers down his spine.
Moria said, "Arise...!"
He gestured with his claw-like hands towards one of the corpses, which was the body of a tiger... Dense black mist rose from his hand and then surged like the dark magic, entering the tiger's body.
In the next moment, a chilling scene unfolded.
Under the dense moonlight, a dark black swamp surrounded the tiger's corpse, and a strange shadow began to dance above the body as if it wanted to detach...
"I haven't figured out the best way yet to allow the shadow to stop being part of the dead creature's body, but when I do, trust me... at that time, I will become the Shadow Monarch in the Pirate World, Kishishishishi!"
Moria laughed uproariously after proclaiming that.
Perhaps he didn't fully grasp what it meant to be the Shadow Monarch, but developing his Shadow Fruit to the extent of displaying the shadows of the dead was a groundbreaking breakthrough and an astonishing result. Even Rob would applaud such a performance if he were aware of it.
There is no doubt that Moria was greatly inspired by the manhwa; Solo Leveling!
"This..." Absalom's eyes widened after witnessing this terrifying scene. He instinctively retreated backward.
He never thought he could see a scene he was accustomed to seeing only in manhwa come to life.
"This amazing? Isn't it? Kishishishishi!"
...
In the morning of the next day, the morning sun shone on the weary faces of the workers here, who were still working diligently to transform the massive island into a ship.
But to their delight, with the dawn of the green light signaling a new update in the art store, they knew they would have a morning break.
"Kishishishishi!" The sound of boisterous laughter spread everywhere on the island.
And as they expected...
"It's Manhwa Day! Everyone can have a break today to read Solo Leveling!" Moria's loud voice reached the ears of everyone on the island.
"Yes!"
"Thank you, Moria-sama!"
The workers and carpenters cheered happily. Once a month, they could obtain Moria's permission to enter the art store at least, similar to having a day off.
They could read the manga they desired on this day, but most of them read the new chapters of Solo Leveling to earn the admiration of Moria, who everyone knew had a deep love for this manhwa.
...
..
"Kishishishi! Jinho seems frustrated because he discovered that the Shadow Soldiers can do anything... even taking away his role in excavation the magical crystals!"
"I think I'll experience Jinho's feeling soon..." Absalom sighed in frustration, adding, "I just hope the captain doesn't abandon me at that time."
Inside the art store, Moria and Absalom had already started reading their favorite manhwa.
The workers and carpenters scattered around them everywhere in the art store as well... Since they received their wages every month, this day was the best day to get it... They could buy whatever they liked from the art store!
"It seems like the promised 19-gate raid with Jinho has been fulfilled... What's this... the United States again? I wonder why this country keeps appearing every time..." Moria wondered as the scene shifted to an A-rank Dungeon in the United States.
"Oh, isn't this the country where Hwang Dongsoo moved to work as a hunter, leaving his original country, Korea?" Absalom asked.
