Chapter 46

Brook was standing in the row of the boat while flaring his observation haki, seemingly in search of something.

As he was doing this, there was a group of people observing him from behind.

His crew already had almost reached 500 members now.

But despite that, cool wool was still the strongest other than him.

Brook was currently flaring his observation haki to the maximum for the sign of any unknown ambush.

currently, he was in the seas near the Sabody Archipelago, he had traveled to an island in the grand line, which was close to the savory Archipelago.

As one might have guessed, Brook was trying to bate someone into attacking him. As he was extremely close to the marine headquarters.

Brook had already planned, this long ago when he decided to get out of the Florian triangle.

Among all names, he chose 'Momonga' not only because of the Similar situation he had to that of an anime character he liked but also to provoke the vice admiral with a similar name.

He planned to provoke vice admiral Momonga into attacking him. After he was attacked he planned to defeat Vice Admiral Momonga with the subsequent fleet and backup that comes along with it all alone.

He speculated that at best only three vice admirals would appear, so for this, he didn't use too much power in his actions.

After defeating a vice admiral his bounty would rise, along with his reputation.

If his calculation weren't wrong, this should also be the time when Shanks would go to Foosha village to meet Luffy.

And through the recent news about the Red-haired pirate's suspicious moves he was all but certain about it.

The disappearance of Shanks subsequently, would leave Mihawk without any opponent, So by increasing his Reputation as a sword user, Mihawk would be interested in challenging him.

After a ferocious battle, he would pretend to lose to Mihawk, acting as if having received some significant injuries.

This would give him a reputation as a great swordsman, who could clash and survive against Mihawk.

After that, it should be around the time Moria would visit the grand line once again from where he was hiding. If he knew Moria's exact location, he wouldn't have to do all this, but even he couldn't know everything.

Moria who has Ryuma's body, should also want a good swordsman, to give him the shadow to embed in Ryuma. Now who better would it be than a weakened swordsman who is also the enemy of the Marines, there were only benefits for Moria, so expecting to fight a weakened Brook.

Moria would be compelled to attack. So acting weak, He would make Moria let his guard down, which Brook planned to take advantage of by swiftly attacking and killing Moria. In turn, taking his devil's fruit.

Now, with Moria's fruit, he would first create a new body by continuously taking out a part of his bone and gathering them and replacing the now missing bone by healing it with milk.

Repeating the process he would technically create two bodies.

Now he would temporarily possess the new body by transferring his soul.

And the old body would be used to consume the Kage Kage No Mi. So after consuming the new fruit. he would once again transfer his soul back and possess two devil fruit like that of Blackbeard.

Now he would use the captured Vice Admiral Momonga as a shadow on the corpse of Ryuma. Then he would form a powerful army by using the genetics of the Vinsmoke family as well as other cyborg-related knowledge.

This would create an army of shadow cyborgs led by Reuma.

After his army is made, he would defeat Shiki the Golden Lion and take his shadow, put it in the body of Ryuma. This could potentially create an almost Yonko-level shadow solder.

So this was the rough plan, Brook had devised to be a powerhouse.

Although, he wasn't certain that the plan would work.

The plan about eating two devil fruit was only a theory for now and he would have to check it out, to be certain that it works properly.

Similarly, he was not sure if he could survive the battle against Mihawk or not, but as long as he could properly prepare he was certain he wouldn't die.

And defeating Shiki would also prove to be a hard endeavor. He was sure that both Shiki and Moria would be stronger than they were in the show.

If he was being clear, he was sure that Shiki wouldn't just be defeated with just the power of post-time skip Luffy as if in the movie. He was certain it would be a very hard fight, that might cost him everything.

And Moria would also be much more dangerous as he was able to go toe to toe with a younger Kaido for three days.

Now that feet alone was almost capable of making Moria the third strongest warlord after Mihawk and Blackbeard.

But who knows, they might be weak as well, through depression and whatnot.

But it was always better to be prepared for the worse.

As Brook was done making his resolve firm and planned to execute his plan.

He knew that his plan would soon start as he could already see a marine ship far away in the sea in front of him.
