"Master! They've all been defeated! Oars flattened them!" Another zombie ran into the chapel, just before he and Sanji started fighting.
"I don't understand, shadow's are completely under Moriah's control, they are totally compliant. He's supposed to be on our side, isn't he?" Absalom demands. "What's going on?" He wonders out loud.
"Heh!" Sanji scoffed, actually calming down from the near rampage and looking amused. "This that crap-zombie you put my captain's shadow inside of?" He asked, smirking.
"Huh? Yeah..." Absalom said slowly, giving him a funny look.
"My captain is the single most selfish childish person to ever sail the seas." Sanji announced proudly. "But he's also... the single most stubborn. If you think that you can control his shadow so easily, well... I'm afraid that you will be disappointed." He shrugged, lighting a cigarette and absently making sure Nami was safe where he left her, since the upcoming fight was going to be destructive.
Absalom growled. "There isn't a shadow on this planet that Moriah cannot control!" He snapped.
"He's never met Luffy before, clearly." Sanji shrugged it off.
"He's going to be King of the Pirates. He's not going to let something like this slow him down."
