Enel's Great Space Operation Vol. 29 "For the moment, attack!"
[side text: Going great with a Yohoho!! Brooke's debut in Volume 46 is now on sale, with rave reviews!]

Luffy: Huh, what's going on? // The place is shaking like crazy!
Moria: The boat must have been caught by a strange current... // I guess it's probably your fault, kishishishi!! // ...So? What are you doing here?
Luffy: .......
[insert text: Luffy confronts Moria!!]
Luffy: Oh yeah! How dare you rip my shadow off back there! // I'm gonna take it back! And Zoro's, and Sanji's, // and Brooke's, and the zombie-ossan's - all of them!!
Moria: What a greedy little man... and exactly how do you intend to do that?

3
Luffy: I just have to beat you up, right?
Moria: Even if I were to get beaten up or killed, / the zombies would just lose their master - the shadows won't escape. // My ability is "control" over shadows. This is the only way to grant your wish: // To face all the zombies and, with their current master's mouth - that is, mine - // give them the order to return to their former owners!!
Luffy: If I do that, the shadows will all return?
Moria: Kishishishi, that's right, it's that simple. // If you can weaken me to that extent, that is. // But, well, at your level, you won't even be able to touch me. / *yawn* [TN: You can render a yawn however you think best ~_~]
Luffy: All right. Gomu Gomu no~~~

4
Luffy: PISTOL!!! // ! // Your shadow?!
Moria: Kishishishi... Now you just try and defeat him. // My clone... // Doppelman! [TN: The kanji for Doppelman read "silhouette"]

5
Luffy: Uwa!
Moria: There was a time when I too was overconfident in my own power and ambition.
Luffy: What's with this guy? Get out of the way!
Moria: But now I have come to understand the importance of good subordinates. / I don't have to lift a finger. I am the man who will become the Pirate King through the power of others.
Luffy: I'm the one who's going to be the Pirate King!!! // Uwah!
Moria: Your zombie said the same thing... // Thanks to a powerful constitutional imbalance between the shadow and the body, // the remains of the former master's consciousness seem to be having a strong effect...

6
Moria: But soon enough, its memories of being you will fade away, / and it will become a zombie entirely obedient to me. // No matter how strong the will may be, / all zombies end up with "absolute obedience".
Luffy: I'll take it back right now!!!
Moria: ?!
Luffy: Gomu Gomu no~~~!! // GATLING!!!
Moria: Black Bat.

7
Luffy: !!
Moria: Hm~~~♪
Luffy: Dammit!! He's blocking them all!! // I can't get him!!! // Aaagh!! / Owww!!!

8
Luffy: Owowowowowww!!
Moria: Kishishishi... Don't worry, they're not bloodsuckers or anything.
Luffy: Owww!!!
Moria: You say you're going to beat me up?! That's funny!!
Luffy: GET OFF ME!!!
Moria: When an inexperienced youngster underestimates an opponent...
Luffy: *heavy breathing x2, render it how you like*
Moria: ...he will feel shame.

9
Luffy: *heavy breathing x2 again* // Gomu Gomu no~~~!!
Moria: What's this? He jumped down... / Is he trying to escape?
Luffy: STAMP!!!
Moria: Ouch!! You little brat!!
Luffy: See?! I can touch you just fine, you big leek!!!

10
Zombie: Huh?!
Sanji: Leave Nami-san...

11
Sanji: ALONE!!!!
Zombie: !!!
Sanji: So sorry to keep you waiting, Nami-san; // your knight has arrived. // !!! // ................... / What?!! A goddess?!! // Oh... oooh!! That was a shock...!! It... it is Nami-san!! I wasn't mistaken... // With this overwhelming beauty, for a moment I thought I had mistakenly saved a goddess instead!!

12
Absalom: What the hell are you going on about... You, you're definitely... // ...one of the crew from that pirate ship, aren't you... // !!? // What?! An angel?! // Ah... oh!! It's a human... definitely a human... I spoke too soon...!
Sanji: It's quite understandable, perfectly understandable... / Seeing Nami-san in this perfect pure white, it's an easy mistake to make...
Absalom: So very true...
Zombie: What's with those two...?
Absalom: ...Wait... Agh-!!! Damn you, pirate! I shouldn't be getting friendly with you!! // Give me back my bride!!

13
Sanji: (carrying Nami in his arms like a princess and protecting her) Hey, you. That was about to hit Nami-san. When there's a lady around, // You don't use attacks that might draw people into the fray.
Absalom: ...You did well to avoid my attack. // Though it seems you've already lost your shadow... // Come to think of it, there was a new zombie who seemed strangely attached to this woman... / He still had a little of his own "self", and wasn't yet completely obedient... // that must have been your zombie.
Sanji: .......
Absalom: If you think about the fact that we couldn't even put him into a shogun zombie, // the real thing's fighting strength can't be that impressive. // That penguin was all talk, he wasn't that strong at all.

14
Absalom: For an underling like that to stand up to the man who orders the Shogun Zombies, I who am called the Enigma, // Why, that is most impertinent...!!
Sanji: (Uwa! That surprised me! I thought it was an angel!)
Now... I won't say anything against you. / Just leave the woman with me and go off to live your shadowless life. // You see, I'm pretty busy at the moment. / Your captain's zombie could be beating up my powerful underlings as we speak... // And I still have to kiss the bride to finish the ceremony. / You get it? I'm a bit pissed off right now......!! // I don't have time to be messing around with small fry like... // ...you...

15
Sanji: Shut up, you beast-faced ceremony-man!!!
Absalom: GUAGH?!!!
Zombies: Aaaaahh!! Absalom-samaaa!!? // No way!! He sent that 300-kilo guy flying!!!
Sanji: The "Invisible Man" Usopp was talking about... // That's you, right?
Absalom: ..............?!!

16
Absalom: What the hell was that kick...?!! This ferally powerful body that Hogback gave me couldn't possibly be... // Hands of the Dead!!! // ?!!
Sanji: How's that?! And you know what I'm gonna do now?! // Bas Côtes!!!
Absalom: Ugh!!!
[TN: I originally translated Sanji's first line here rather differently, and attributed it to Absalom... I'm still not entirely sure whether it's Sanji's or Absalom's line, but on reflection I think Sanji's more likely.]

17
Zombies: Aaaaaggh!!
Sanji: Longé!!!
Absalom: Guooooghh!!
Sanji: Tendron!!! // You're the invisible beast that appeared on the Sunny and licked Robin-chan all over, aren't you?!
Absalom: Ugh!! // (What's with this power?! This is an underling?!)
Sanji: Flanchet!! / Quasi - Queue - Cuisseau!!
Absalom: ................!!
Sanji: You're the one who took a good look at Nami naked in the bath, too, aren't you?! // Why's she unconscious now?! / You'd better not have been rough with her!!!
Absalom: Uaaggh...
Sanji: Jarret!!! // You call this a wedding?! You look me in the eye and say that! I'll make a croquette of you!!!

18
Absalom: Ugh!! I got away for a second! / "Skating"!!!
Sanji: Usopp Deluxe... // Salt Ball.
Absalom: !!
Sanji: Over there...
Absalom: Agh! What's this?! It's salty-
Sanji: VEAU SHOT!!!
Absalom: GUAAAAUAAAAAGGHHH!!!

19
Absalom: !!! // ...........!! // (This is crazy... A guy like this doesn't even have a bounty...?!!
Sanji: You said you're pissed off, right...?!! // Well, I'm afraid I'm not!
Absalom: ..............
Sanji: I'M SO FURIOUS MY BODY'S ABOUT TO EXPLODE WITH RAGE!!!!
Zombie: HE ACTUALLY EXPLODED!!!
Absalom: ...................!!
Sanji: And it's your bad luck... // that I've got one more bone to pick with you.
Absalom: ?!!
