General & Others How much value does Moria add to cross guild

#1

How much Moria joining add to cross guild?
He brings
  1. Himself a rival to pre emperor Kaido
  2. Potential ability to read the poneglyph due to being a kozuki
  3. If he joins so does Perona
  4. Brings thriller bark with him
  5. Zombie army

They’re a much bigger threat with Moria + Perona

I can only imagine the bloodlusted Perona + Mihawk or Crocodile combos

Realistically if the Horo Horo no mi can't be resisted with haki there’s nothing that stops Cross Guild from soloing every faction

You can’t forget Moria given how broken his fruit is as well. Mihawk with hundreds of shadows, Crocodile with hundreds of shadows, hell even Daz Bonez with a bunch of shadows jumps tiers

Pretty disgusting

Moriah is one of the most emotional characters in the series. In sports some players are regarded as "Mood Players". They blow hot or cold, best on the pitch or worst depending on how confident they feel at the minute. They are not as self motivated as others.

To me Moriah is more than anything in need of someone installing some confidence in him in order to bring out the best in him.

I would LOVE it if Buggy could be that guy. Simply by believing in Moriah and cheering him on.

Plus, given his horns, he's potentially part Ancient Giant. Or...something else? Either way, he might have some sort of important mixed lineage.

And there's a non-zero chance that his Shadow Fruit powers are somehow connected to the Abyss Mark system, somehow. Not because he has a mark. But, because the Shadow Fruit could be tapping into the same "power source" that the Abyss taps into. Or possibly sharing some elemental connection to Blackbeard's Darkness Fruit. All these "dark powers" could be connected in a interesting or important way.

And, his Shadow Fruit's power to revive the dead could be VERY handy if they find some legendary person's body along the way. Like, say they find the corpse of Nika or Joyboy or Davy Jones and have Moria revive them with his Shadow powers. Or even the Galle-Ra Giants. That could get kind of crazy. I'm not sure if that'll ever happen, because that seems too important to leave to "side characters". But, it could be useful in some other way.

Plus, while Thriller Bark itself is probably off the table, it's worth remembering that Moria did somehow turn a island into a mobile fortress. Which means....Moria is actually some kind of engineering genius, apparently? Or he knows someone who is. Either way, if he can bring that talent to Cross Guild, that means they have a "shipwright" whose talent would rival or surpass Franky's. Which is really handy if you're trying to maintain a fleet of ships. Or trying to build something that rivals Ancient Weapons.

Interesting point. Because, in theory, Perona could be the ultimate support fighter in this series. Perona's Horo Horo Fruit is basically Anti-Haki. In that, if she can use her powers on someone, they basically lose all their will and confidence. Haki is based almost totally on willpower and confidence. So, again, in theory, if Perona can hit someone with her power, that would leave them totally open to a follow-up attack from someone else who's much stronger than her. So, basically, if Perona can work with someone else who's stronger, like a Mihawk or even a Crocodile, Cross Guild could actually defeat a lot of the Haki Monsters in this world. Like a Kaido or even a Shanks. Especially if they could manage to take them by surprise.

Mind you, it probably doesn't ACTUALLY work like that. Someone with enough Haki probably COULD push through Perona's powers. Because Haki's just overpowered like that. But, in theory, Perona should be able to be a big asset in a fight. Not as a main fighter, but partnered up with someone, that team should be something to be reckoned with.



So, honestly, Moria and Perona could actually add a LOT of value to Cross Guild. It's not just reading the Poneglyphs and a potential for a Zombie army. They could do a lot more than that.

But, the problem is, most of their value is purely hypothetical. We don't actually know for sure if Moria can read Poneglyphs, or if Perona's powers could work on strong Haki users. But, the potential is there, I feel. They could play a pretty big part with Cross Guild, if they ever join.

A lot, even if he can't read poneglyphs. He has an island-sized ship, he can create an army with just bodies and shadows, he can power-up himself and allies with shadows and has two useful crewmembers: Perona (hax ability) and Dr. Hogback (one of the best doctors in the world).

He also could potentially get back "in shape" and become stronger, but I doubt that he cares about it after 2 years in the New World (nothing is impossible though... if Croc went from losing to pre-gears Luffy to holding his own against powerful haki users in Marineford after a brief time fully shackled in ID, Moria could also get a boost after getting imprisoned in Hachinosu).
