Titled "Morning Is Coming," this chapter races the sunrise as Luffy stacks Gear 2 and Gear 3 together to batter the shadow-bloated Moria, forcing the thousand stolen shadows back out of his body even as the light begins to claim everyone who lacks one.
Summary
With dawn climbing, despair settles over Lola and the shadowless Straw Hats, who wait for either the sun or Moria to finish them. Luffy fires up Gear 2 and slips past Moria's swings, landing Jet Rocket and Jet Bazooka strikes that make the Warlord vomit clusters of shadows. Losing his grip on the stolen power, Moria retaliates with Bat Bricks, caging Luffy in shadow and smashing the prison against a wall, then stomping it underfoot while the crowd screams for him to stop.
Key Events
Luffy bursts free, taunting Moria that a rubberman can never be beaten that way. As the sun rises higher and starts dissolving the onlookers, he risks Gear 2 and Gear 3 at once despite Chopper's warning that the strain could tear him apart, hammering Moria with Giant Jet Shell. Moria clamps both hands over his mouth to keep the shadows in. Lola and her crew cry out for their own shadows to return, and Luffy demands his shadow stay if it wants to belong to the future Pirate King. Repeated blows finally drop Moria onto his back, releasing every shadow at once, just as the climbing sun begins wiping out all those still without one.
Notes
Luffy defeats Gecko Moria in this chapter. The simultaneous use of Gear 2 and Gear 3 is shown for the first time. The looming sunrise sets up the cliffhanger danger of the Kage Kage no Mi's victims fading away before their shadows can settle back into them.
