Added DiffLines:
* {{Acrofatic}}: An extremely fat vampire-like dude who has the ability to outrun ''[[LightningBruiser Luffy]]''. He also showed no trouble walking on one of the chains holding Oars' corpse like a tightrope to implant Luffy's shadow.
* AdaptationDyeJob: His hair is [[EvilRedhead red]] in the manga but purple in the anime.
* AllForNothing: Moria plans to take revenge on Kaido, who massacred his former crew, by making an army of undead soldiers. Said soldiers, along with the secret weapon Oars, are beaten by the Straw Hats and, by the end of the Thriller Bark arc, Moria's zombies don't have a shadow anymore and are simply lifeless corpses, meaning Moria's plan to take down one of the Four Emperors, after years of work, got foiled by an upstart crew who accidentally ended up in Thriller Bark. Later events would imply that even if Moria had successfully mounted an army against Kaido, he would have been no match for the Emperor's forces anyway.
* AnimalMotifs: The gecko, his clothing and overall features resembling a gecko, as well as a bat.
* ArchEnemy: [[{{Jerkass}} Kaido]] is his ultimate nemesis, because Kaido killed off his entire pirate crew and mutilated him in the past.
* ArcVillain: Gecko Moria is the main villain of the Thriller Bark arc, being the captain of the titular ship the Straw Hats ends up into.
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Himself in Shadows Asgard form, after absorbing a thousand shadows.
* BadassDecay: The InUniverse reason for his expulsion from the Warlord; his defeat at Luffy's hands results in him being viewed as having undergone such. And before that, he went from being a truly major threat befitting his title to a bitter, jaded, impotent washout who relied on his zombies for everything after Kaido slaughtered his entire pirate crew.
* BadPowersBadPeople: His Devil Fruit works by ripping off people's shadows, also leaving them without a reflection. Oh, and they disintegrate in direct sunlight. He then takes these shadows and either absorbs them to make himself stronger or ''makes an army of zombie slaves''. Honestly, what morally good use could a power like this be put to?
* BerserkButton: When Kuma visits Moria, he's his usual arrogant self, but when Kuma implies that the World Government thinks Moria could be defeated by the Straw Hats, he flies into a rage at the accusation of his weakness.
* BolivianArmyEnding: Act 1 of the Wano arc ends with Moria surrounded by Shiryu and Catarina Devon, with Marshall D. Teach watching it play out. [[spoiler:Moria is later revealed to have been taken captive by the Blackbeard Pirates]].
* BreakTheBadass: Moria's backstory is an all too common tale amongst pirates; a promising rookie who looked to hit it big and become the Pirate King, only to run afoul the insurmountable walls that are the Four (well, three at the time) Emperors of the Sea. In Moria's case, he challenged Kaido in his territory of Wano and came away with nothing but Ryuuma's corpse and a catastrophic defeat that pushed him across the DespairEventHorizon.
* BrilliantButLazy: Moria is indeed a badass competitor worthy of his title of Warlord. He's also currently a lazy bum whose motto is "You do it!" which made him extremely rusty.
* TheBusCameBack: After being absent ever since the Summit war and Doflamingo's attempted assassination, he pops up again with a small zombie army attacking Blackbeard's base for Absalom during Chapter 925.
* CantCatchUp: After his defeat at Kaido's hands, he spent years trying to create a superpowered army to overwhelm his hated enemy with sheer force and numbers, managing to accumulate over a thousand troops by the time he ran afoul of Luffy. Simultaneously and unbeknownst to (and uncaring of) Moria, Kaido had been doing the exact same thing, but amassing a much mightier force of [[spoiler:artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruit users]] with the aid of Moria's (at the time) [[spoiler:fellow warlord, Donquixote Doflamingo.]]
* CastingAShadow: His Devil Fruit lets him manipulate shadows. He can control his own shadow and make it combat in his place, cut a person's shadow to animate a corpse or even manipulate someone else's shadow to bend his body, as he does with Oars to mimic Luffy's stretchy ability.
* ClassyCravat: Moria wears a cravat to fit his horror villain theme and make him more similar to the classic imagery of a vampire. After the time skip, Moria wears a necktie instead.
* CombatPragmatist: When he actually bothers fighting, Moria prefers the quicker and lazy way to finish off a fight and targets injured opponents to finish them off or distracts his stronger opponents with his devil fruit powers so his minions can finish off the others.
* CreepyChild: An SBS Question Corner page showing the Warlords as kids reveals Moria was a dick even as a kid (and with horns to boot), but he was more optimistic in expression than he is now. He also mentions that he used to be a very sociable person who relied on his own strength to do things and that he had many good friends, likely within his crew as well. Kaido murdering his first crew and severely wounding him turned Moria into the lazy, [[FlunkyBoss zombie-mook-reliant]] asshole he is now.
* DarkIsEvil: The wielder of darkness powers, he's a pretty unpleasant guy.
* {{Determinator}}: For all his shortcomings, Moria is at the least a very tenacious and brave man, never giving up on his ambitions despite all the trauma and failures he suffers in his life. Mihawk himself lampshades twice Moria is a difficult person to put down.
* DualWielding: The scissors he uses to cut off peoples' shadows can be split in two to be used as swords. And if he absorbs the shadows of several swordsmen, he can even become a MasterSwordsman himself.
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Moria has normal teeth during his [[FaceFramedInShadow first appearance]] before he's later given a [[FangsAreEvil mouth full of fangs]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While he's an evil pirate, Moria deeply cared for his former crew and their slaughter at the hands of Kaido and his crew is Moria's biggest source of trauma. In the present, despite him saying that he's made a crew of zombies so he doesn't have to get attached to anyone, Moria still cares for his fellow human mates, Perona, Absalom and Hogback [[spoiler:and he's broken when he learns of Absalom's demise]].
* EvilCounterpart: To Luffy. He revealed upon being confronted by the Straw Hats that he lost his beloved {{True Companions}} in the New World at the hands of Kaido (and still holds emotional trauma upon recalling that), and upon his defeat warned Luffy about the possibility of that happening to him, which come the very next arc, nearly did. Much like Crocodile above, he seems to act as a chilling reminder of what Luffy may become if he doesn't hold onto his dreams and his friends. Also, much like Luffy, Moria legitimately cares for his crew, [[spoiler:as seen when Moria attacked an island Blackbeard was staying on just to rescue his crewmate Absalom and was stricken upon learning Absalom had been killed.]]
** [[ExploitedTrope He can create other evil counterparts]] using his Devil Fruit power. By putting a person's shadow in a zombie, the zombie will become the shadow owner's counterpart. He has made one for Brook, and later Sanji, Zoro, and Luffy (before they go back to normal that is).
* EvilLaugh: His SignatureLaugh, "Kishishishi!"
* EvilRedhead: In the manga, where his hair is colored red. [[AdaptationDyeJob The anime changed it to purple]].
* EvilWearsBlack: Wears a long, black coat and gloves.
* ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy: Subverted. When Luffy confronts him, Moria tries to demoralize him by revealing that [[NoOntologicalInertia defeating him will not free the shadows that have been implanted in his zombies]]; he has to voluntarily order the souls to go back to their owners. However, he neglects to mention that, after a shadow has been implanted in a body, you can forcibly take it out without Moria's permission. In the case of a zombie, you can use salt or fire to free the shadow; if Moria is the one who has absorbed the shadows, you can just beat them out of him.
* FangsAreEvil: Somewhat reminiscent of a vampire.
* FatalFlaw: Moria's main flaw is his laziness. He's pretty capable and intelligent but his own laziness, as a result of losing his former crew to Kaido, leads him to not improving his skills and never fight at his fullest. It leads to his defeat at the hands of the Straw Hats and, eventually, to become too weak for his Warlord status.
* FatBastard: In a somewhat unique example to the rest of the series, his gut and just plain ''weird'' body type aren't examples of StoutStrength. He's genuinely just out of shape.
* AFatherToHisMen: Implied. The loss of the Gecko Pirates courtesy of Kaido hit him hard, leading him to believe that zombie army is the way to go to prevent such loss ever again. [[spoiler:A more direct example is when he finds out that Blackbeard's crew has killed Absalom and he can be seen holding back his tears in grief and anger.]]
* FlunkyBoss: A non-video game example, as he prefers to have his underlings do the work for him. His first fight with Luffy has him literally sitting on his ass, laying out, and offering commentary while Luffy tried, and failed, to get past Moria's shadow.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Luffy, as both were pirate captains who sought to become the Pirate King and dearly treasured [[TrueCompanions their crews]], and were devastated when their crews were cruelly torn away from them by an opponent ''way'' out of their league (Kuma/Kaido). However, the difference is that what Kuma did isn't lethal and is reversible. It's only this difference that prevented Luffy from becoming the bitter, jaded, [[FlunkyBoss zombie-mook-reliant]] and lazy washout that Moria became.
** To Brook. Both of them lost their entire crew during their adventures. Brook had his promise to Laboon to stop him from falling into despair but Moria, having nothing left, regressed into an angry, bitter washout.
* FormerlyFit:
** During the time of Gol D. Roger's execution, the younger Moria appeared to be rather muscular (even having a chin), befitting his fearsome visage. In his prime, he could apparently survive a battle with an Emperor, while nowadays, he's little more than a punching bag for a pirate upstart (an admittedly powerful one, but still). It's implied that this was a result of Moria falling into depression after the deaths of his crew.
** A brief flashback added to the Wano arc in the anime shows that when he fought Kaido, Moria looked roughly in the same shape as him.
* FreudianExcuse: After his TrueCompanions were wiped out by Kaido in Wano one year after Roger's execution, he began avoiding new attachments and surrounding himself with completely replaceable -- and nigh-indestructible -- zombies.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: His entire face and neck seem to be sliced vertically in half and stitched back again. Although 20-odd years ago, he had considerably fewer stitches, implying that it's either a fashion choice or Kaido ''really'' fucked him up bad during their battle.
* HistoryRepeats: Despite his best efforts, [[spoiler:he loses yet another dear friend to an Emperor. At least this time he still has Dr. Hogback, wherever he is.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His Shadow Asgard move. Yeah, it turns him into a giant and gives him more strength. [[ClippedWingAngel But it also makes him a bigger target and collected all of the shadows in one place for the heroes.]] What's more since he was weakened after being pummeled during the fight against Oars, he didn't have the strength to keep them in his body, having to alternate between fighting Luffy and trying to keep the shadows from escaping which eventually leads to his defeat.
* HornedHumanoid: He's one of few One Piece characters to have some.
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Not even taking into consideration losing his Warlord status and nearly dying because he'd become too weak, just compare his current self to how he used to be. Having all of his TrueCompanions slaughtered and his chin torn off ''really'' fucked him up.
* HypocriticalHumor: During the Marineford Arc, he engages in combat against Jimbei and comments on how Jimbei is so fast despite being so fat. Jimbei retorts that he does not want to be called fat by the likes of Moria.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: His Lizard Horn Spear impaled even a colossal beast like Oars Jr. with ease.
* ImpossibleShadowPuppets: Inverted with his Shadow Revolution, in which he controls the shape of the shadow to change the shape of the body casting it, due to the fundamental law of nature that the object and the shadow must '''always''' be of the same shape. He demonstrated this by turning Oars into a RubberMan and a giant ball.
* InconsistentSpelling: Databook Green uses Gekko Moriah. Viz and [=FUNimation=], and thus TV Tropes, uses "Gecko Moria".
* IWasQuiteALooker: Downplayed. Being a gigantic, white-skinned, devil-like man with horns and fangs, he was never a looker by any account, but he sure [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/0/02/Gekko_Moriah_at_Age_26.png/revision/latest?cb=20130624083802 wasn't as ugly]] in the past as he is nowadays when you look at the extremely fat character image in his folder.
* LargeAndInCharge: So very much to the zombies, except for Oars.
* LastVillainStand: By the climax of the Thriller Bark Arc, he knows he's done for. Most of his zombie army has been stopped, his secret weapon Oars has been defeated, he himself is injured, and he's surrounded by the wounded but ''very'' vengeful pirates he's stolen the shadows from for years. However, the realization that his ship is leaving the fog it once resided in, the fact that the sun is starting to rise in the east and he himself being right in the middle of his VillainousBreakdown causes him to put it all on the line and unleash his [[ClippedWingAngel Shadows Asgard]], desperately trying to buy a few more minutes for the sun to rise and at least take the ones responsible for destroying his work down with him.
* LivingShadow: He can animate his shadow, which he calls Doppelman, to [[GuardianEntity fight for him while he lazes around]]. Doppelman doesn't take damage, its form can be changed at will, it can fly, and it can even swap places with the real Moria.
* MadeOfIron: He may lack strength, but think about it: he got up after being totally pummeled by ''Nightmare Luffy'', alias Luffy with the skills and fighting power of 100 people combined to his own. He got up (though after some time), went OneWingedAngel and then survived two [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique Gum Gum Giant Jet Shell]] in a row ''and'' a '''falling tower''' before finally fainting. He may not be good in direct combat, but he surely has one hell of a stamina!
* ManChild: He spent at least half of his screen time during the Thriller Bark Arc acting like this. [[FromBadToWorse Then he got serious]].
* MeaningfulName: "''Gekko''" is Japanese for "moonlight", and also sounds similar to his AnimalMotif, the gecko. Moria is a very creepy and dangerous location in [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Middle-Earth]] and, with a different accent stress becomes an old Italian word indicating the deaths of many (usually farm animals) after a plague/drought. Furthermore, from "Gecko Moria" you can get the word "Komori", bat, his second AnimalMotif.
* MonsterClown: The checkered trousers and ridiculous boots he wears don't exactly fit your typical image of a fearsome necromancer. Plus, the whole attitude.
* {{Necromancer}}: Revives the undead by implanting shadows of his victims within them.
* NeverBeHurtAgain: His reason for using zombies instead of living people for his Thriller Bark Pirates is so he will never form attachments and then feel pain when they die off, unlike what happened when Kaido slaughtered the Gecko Pirates. [[spoiler:It doesn't quite work, as Blackbeard killing Absalom shows.]]
* NightmareFace: During his VillainousBreakdown, when he reveals his FreudianExcuse, his eyes enlarge to the point of sporting bulging veins, his pupils shrink to an incredibly tiny size and combined with his SlasherSmile it makes him look ''completely unhinged''.
* NinjaLog: The main problem with fighting Moria is that he can swap places with [[LivingShadow Doppelman]] at any time.
* NonActionGuy: As far as a Warlord (who's expected by the government to fight and defeat other pirates regularly) possibly can be. He basically sits on his ass and lets his zombies and shadow clones fight for him, and his few offensive techniques involve [[PowersDoTheFighting using his powers without himself actually having to move much]] (such as launching his shadow like a spear from a standing position). When he does finally go OneWingedAngel and fight head on, Luffy beats him relatively easily.
* NoOntologicalInertia: Double subverted. Initially, he tells Luffy that no matter what happens to him, the shadows he stole will never return to their proper owners unless he tells them to. However, once he absorbs all the shadows for his Shadows Asgard technique, [[ClippedWingAngel the issue is simplified down to beating them out of his bloated mouth]].
* ObviouslyEvil: Nothing screams "I'm evil!" more than a demonic appearance. He looked even more sinister back in the day when he was thin enough to actually have a jawline, and was also HellBentForLeather, apparently. Though it's implied he wasn't nearly as bad a guy back then.
* OneWingedAngel: His Shadows Asgard technique where he absorbs a thousand shadows to become monstrous. This also counts as ClippedWingAngel since this form can be defeated by beating the shadows out of him, and he moves sluggishly in this form. Also crosses over into TheLastDance territory. Zoro even points out that the only reason he took this form was to stall for time in the hopes that the sun would rise before he was defeated so that all the shadow-less people would be vaporized in its rays, giving him an automatic win.
* ParentalSubstitute: To Perona. Oda said that he found Perona when she was still a child and raised her ever since, and she loves him like a parent, enough that she'd rush to his rescue [[spoiler:when she hears that he's been captured by the Blackbeard Pirates]].
* PeoplePuppets: His Kage Kakumei (Shadow Revolution) involves his shadow invading Oars', allowing him to contort his body to match the shape of the shadow. Raises unsettling implications on the effect of someone who wasn't a pain-less zombie.
* PersonalityPowers: Moria has the power to manipulate shadows. Moria, likewise, is a shadow of his former self who never managed to recover from losing his crew.
* PetTheDog:
** He adopted the orphaned Perona years ago and provided her with a comfy and pampered life aboard the Thriller Bark.
** [[spoiler:Makes his first appearance in the time skip starting a fight on one of Blackbeard's favorite islands. Why? To rescue one of his few living minions -- Absalom. He's genuinely happy and relieved when he sees Absalom is alive... which makes it heartbreaking later when he learns that "Absalom" is actually Catarina Devon, while the real Absalom is dead.]]
* PowersDoTheFighting: He's gotten very lazy and lets his own shadow do both offense ''and'' defense for him while fighting Luffy for the first time. Only when things gets serious he fights by himself. It enters Deconstruction territory when this habit of letting his shadow fight in his place causes him to become too weak to keep his Warlord title, which is even lampshaded by Jimbei during their fight.
* PowerLevels: He is probably the most notable [[AvertedTrope aversion]] of the concept of using bounties as this. He has the second-highest bounty of the Warlords prior to his removal yet is among the weakest of their member. He might have been living up to his bounty before, though, before his bad past with Kaido. Moria himself uses shadows as a power level, guessing correctly that Luffy has used 100 shadows to become Nightmare Luffy. So to try and one up him, Moria absorbs all 1000 shadows of ''Thriller Bark''.
* RankScalesWithAsskicking: Subverted as he used others to fight for him, and as soon as he fights, he's a glorified punching bag. It's heavily implied that he used to be ''far'' more powerful before Kaido murdered his crew and turned him into the FlunkyBoss that Luffy and co. dealt with.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: His rant against Luffy, stating that he's going to lose all his crew in the New World in his current state. He's [[VillainHasAPoint proven right]]: none of the Straw Hats before the time-skip are anywhere ''near'' as powerful as they need to be to survive even their first battle against New World enemies and not long after this speech, Kuma does annihilate the Straw Hat Pirates scattering them all across the world, while during the Summit War Luffy is completely outclassed by the other fighters and goes through a trauma almost as severe as that which broke Moria.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Despite rumors that he's killed by Doflamingo after the Summit war, Mihawk and several others attest that [[spoiler:he's still alive and they are proven right when he appears in Blackbeard's territory]].
* ScaryTeeth: Has two rows of sharp fangs that he always shows off with his {{Slasher Smile}}s which emphasize his vampiric appearance.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He didn't take the announcement that he [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness had outlived his usefulness]] very well, and skedaddled with help from Absalom.
* TheShadowKnows: A fundamental rule of his Shadow power is that "the shadow always corresponds with the physical body". This is why those who had their shadows stolen by him disintegrate in the sun -- since they cast no shadow, [[PuffOfLogic then they cannot exist.]] Exploiting this principle allows him to ''invert'' it with his "Shadow Revolution" technique -- by warping the shadow, the ''physical body'' must then conform to the new shape.
* ShadowWalker: His Doppelman can fly far away safely, then he can [[NinjaLog switch places with his shadow.]]
* ShapingYourAttacks: Can turn his shadow in a flock of bats, a lizard-like spear and anything else he could imagine probably...
* SlasherSmile: His sharp teeth make his smug smile all the more creepy.
* SoleSurvivor: Of his first crew, the Gecko Pirates. Over twenty years later, he still greatly mourns their loss.
* SquishyWizard: Moria's Shadow-Shadow Fruit is very strong as it allows him to revive corpses and create a copy to fight for himself, but he's also out of shape and the physically weakest Warlord.
* StealthPun: He could be considered a ''[[HowTheMightyHaveFallen shadow]]'' of his former self.
* SuperpowerLottery: Like most of his fellow Warlords. In fact, [[SwissArmySuperpower his versatile Devil Fruit]] was the only thing that kept him in the Seven Warlords since he's otherwise weak without it. He can take anybody's shadow by snipping it right out of the ground as though it were paper, and no matter how strong they are, they ''will'' fall unconscious for a while, allowing him to do what he wants with their shadow without getting the tar beat out of him instantly. With the power to put the shadows in any potentially powerful corpse and no limit on how many he can stuff himself with (unlike others, the original user can stuff themselves with however many shadows they want) he could very easily raise an insanely powerful undead army. His Fruit also gives him several "passive attacking" techniques (creating shadow clones of himself, creating shadow bats to pester his foes, creating zombies to fight for him, etc.), which help make someone out of shape like him formidable regardless.
* ThrowTheDogABone: [[spoiler:Perona manages to get Koby, and by extension SWORD, to agree to set Moria free when he's imprisoned on Fullalead]].
* TookALevelInJerkass: His SBS appearance, while having a CreepyChild vibe, is clearly the most optimistic looking of the warlords as kids; cue the present where he's an ass to everyone. Having your entire pirate crew wiped out by a {{Jerkass}} Emperor can do that to you.
* TraumaCongaLine: Loses his first crew the Gecko Pirates to Kaido, loses to Luffy, double-crossed by the World Government and left for dead by Doflamingo, and finally loses one of his closest companions to Blackbeard... yeah, Moria fits. You can't help but feel a little bad for the guy, despite what a huge {{Jerkass}} he is.
* TrueCompanions: With his first crew the Gecko Pirates, who were all killed by the Emperor Kaido in Wano one year after Roger's execution. Even after some years after their deaths, he still thinks rather fondly of them and remembering their fates enrages him greatly.
** It's implied that he's this to the other members of the Mysterious Four, even if he doesn't admit it: When Moria fell to Luffy, Hogback and Absalom escaped ''Thriller Bark'' with him, even though they could have abandoned him. Perona never doubted Moria's survival after the Summit war and when she received news [[spoiler:confirming he's alive, she prepared to travel to his current whereabouts.]] Moria, for his part, upon hearing of Absalom's capture, responded by ''storming an Emperor's favorite island'', despite knowing that the Emperor in question '''was in residence at the time''', to try and rescue him.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: He took it as a personal insult when Kuma arrived to inform him that the WG sent him to help beat Luffy. Moria insisted he'd defeat the "Straw Hat rookies" himself. Turns out Luffy was much tougher than he anticipated, which his loss of power didn't help in the slightest.
** He thinks that his special 900th zombie Oars will be enough to defeat Kaido. Oars was defeated by just one rookie pirate crew, let alone an Emperor and his crew of far stronger pirates.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: While he did give off CreepyChild vibes, he did seem to show more optimism than he does now. He also used to do things with his own power and had a lot of friends, in contrast to the present where he would make his zombies do everything for him.
* UnknownRival: Moria hates Kaido for killing his Gecko Pirates and has spent the rest of his life preparing for the day he can finally avenge them. From Kaido's perspective, Moria was just another rookie pirate among hundreds over the years who got too big for their britches and then were crushed by the Emperors. It's likely Kaido doesn't even remember Moria given that he never talks about him once.
* UnskilledButStrong: While Moria's Shadow-Shadow Fruit grants him many powerful abilities and enables him to make an undead army to fight for him, Moria himself is lethargic, has almost no fighting technique, and demonstrates no known Haki abilities. Possibly a JustifiedTrope as far as the narrative goes, as considering his [[{{Familiar}} Doppelman]] never takes damage and can [[NinjaLog swap places with Moria at the drop of a hat]], a Moria with even ''a little'' [[CombatClairvoyance Observation Haki]] would be far, far out of the Straw Hats' league pre-TimeSkip.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His theft of Ryuma's corpse and sword Shusui is seen by some residents of Wano as the catalyst for the country's decline, which ultimately ended with Kaidou and Orochi taking it over.
* VillainousBreakdown: After his strongest zombie Oars is defeated by the Straw Hats and the Rolling Pirates, who all demand that he give their shadows back, Moria ''snaps'', ranting about how he lost his old beloved pirate crew to Kaido and how Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates will suffer the same fate due to being too weak for the New World, all while sporting a completely unhinged and terrifying NightmareFace. Then he absorbs everyone's shadows into his body and uses ''[[OneWingedAngel Shadow's Asgard]]'', which provokes a MassOhCrap.
* VillainHasAPoint: In the climax of his fight with Luffy, Moria mocks him stating at his current level he would only lose everything. The Sabaody arc would prove Moria's statements to be true, as when the Straw Hats are facing the Pacifistas and Admiral Kizaru, the crew would have been killed had Rayleigh and Kuma not showed up to save them.
* WeakButSkilled: While "weak" is a bit much, he is the least powerful Warlord, as well as the least [[LazyBum physically fit]], to the point he gets derived of his Warlord title. However, thanks to great and creative use of his Devil Fruit, still proves to be a challenge for Luffy and the entire Straw Hat crew.
* WeakenedByTheLight: People who have had their shadows stolen by Moria will be vaporized in the sunlight. However, if their shadow returns to them before they're completely vaporized, they'll return to normal (see ImpossibleShadowPuppets).
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Out of all the Seven Warlords (or anyone, really), he's the most cordial towards Kuma, ordering his henchmen to shut up and not bother him when he arrived on ''Thriller Bark'' and entered his mansion. Though, he quickly lost his temper with him when he explained why he came, expressed that the latter's loyalty to the World Government made him wary of Kuma and took him using his CatchPhrase[[note]]"If you're going on a trip, where would you like to go?"[[/note]] as a challenge to a fight.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: The reason why he's a lazy, ineffectual joke of a villain who relies on his zombies to be a threat can be chalked up to the trauma of watching Kaido slaughter his entire Gecko Pirates and his subsequent vow to never lose another person working under his flag, which is honestly a pretty understandable and compelling motivation [[spoiler:(not to mention the fact that one of his few true friends after that incident was murdered by Blackbeard's men)]]. He's still a complete asshole, but at the core, he's also a deeply traumatized and broken man with maladaptive coping mechanisms.
* TheWorfEffect: After losing to Luffy, in the Summit War, he's one-shotted by Jimbei which shows how much weaker he has gotten compared to his fellow Warlords and gets kicked out of the group after the war.
* YankTheDogsChain: As much of an asshole as Moria is, he's also a genuinely broken man who never recovered from having his entire crew slaughtered on his watch and it's obvious that after this, he still genuinely cared about his inner circle and after his humiliation at the hands of the Straw Hats (and later Jimbei) and narrow escape from death at the hands of Doflamingo, he still had them. Then [[spoiler:Absalom was murdered by the Blackbeard Pirates and had his Devil Fruit eaten]]. Talk about ripping open old wounds.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Doflamingo told him that the World Government wants him dead after his bad performance in the Summit War.
* ZergRush: His Brick Bat technique turns his shadow into a flock of bats that he sics towards his opponents to overwhelm them.
* ZombieApocalypse: His Devil Fruit powers enable him to revive dead bodies by implanting shadows within them. When the Straw Hats shows up he has already collected roughly a thousand of them, enough to inhabit an entire island.
* ZombieMooks: He uses his Devil Fruit power to make them in place of a traditional crew.

[[folder:Absalom "of the Graveyard"]]
!!Absalom "of the Graveyard"
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HiroakiMiura (JP), Creator/AndrewChandler (EN), Miguel del León (Latin American Spanish)
!!!'''Age:''' 34 (Pre-Timeskip), 36 (Post-Timeskip)
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 444 (Manga), Episode 339 (Anime)
!!!'''Devil Fruit:''' [[{{Invisibility}} Clear-Clear Fruit]]
[[quoteright:205:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/absalom_anime.png]]
One of the Mysterious Four of Thriller Bark and leader of the Soldiers Zombies and General Zombies. He's a real pervert (to the point the zombies calls him "Ero-salom") but outside of that he's a really dedicated persona, even moreso than Hogback and Perona and is also really devoted to his boss, Gecko Moria. He has eaten the Clear-Clear Fruit (''Suke Suke no Mi'') which gives him the ability to become invisible and make invisible anything he touches. He also has his body modified with different animals body parts, making him much stronger.\\\
He first "appears" on the ship where he [[EstablishingCharacterMoment harasses Robin]] and later drugs and kidnaps Nami to be his bride. Both his attempts are unsuccessful, the first one ends with him trading blows with Sanji, mad at him for both trying to marry Nami and "stealing" him the one Devil Fruit he would've eaten and, after a brief fight, he's defeated. And in the second attempt Nami wakes up and shocks him, knocking him out for good. At the end of the arc, he manages to recover and leave the island along with Hogback and an unconscious Gecko Moria.\\\
At Marineford, he saves Moria's skin and after the two year time-skip he has become a reporter. At some point, he's abducted by the Blackbeard Pirates and killed to poach his Devil Fruit powers, with his ability going to Shiryu.
-----
* AdaptationDyeJob: His hair is [[EvilRedhead red]] in the manga but purple in the anime.
* AllForNothing: Moria plans to take revenge on Kaido, who massacred his former crew, by making an army of undead soldiers. Said soldiers, along with the secret weapon Oars, are beaten by the Straw Hats and, by the end of the Thriller Bark arc, Moria's zombies don't have a shadow anymore and are simply lifeless corpses, meaning Moria's plan to take down one of the Four Emperors, after years of work, got foiled by an upstart crew who accidentally ended up in Thriller Bark. Later events would imply that even if Moria had successfully mounted an army against Kaido, he would have been no match for the Emperor's forces anyway.
* AnimalMotifs: The gecko, his clothing and overall features resembling a gecko, as well as a bat.
* ArchEnemy: [[{{Jerkass}} Kaido]] is his ultimate nemesis, because Kaido killed off his entire pirate crew and mutilated him in the past.
* ArcVillain: Gecko Moria is the main villain of the Thriller Bark arc, being the captain of the titular ship the Straw Hats ends up into.
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Himself in Shadows Asgard form, after absorbing a thousand shadows.
* BadassDecay: The InUniverse reason for his expulsion from the Warlord; his defeat at Luffy's hands results in him being viewed as having undergone such. And before that, he went from being a truly major threat befitting his title to a bitter, jaded, impotent washout who relied on his zombies for everything after Kaido slaughtered his entire pirate crew.
* BadPowersBadPeople: His Devil Fruit works by ripping off people's shadows, also leaving them without a reflection. Oh, and they disintegrate in direct sunlight. He then takes these shadows and either absorbs them to make himself stronger or ''makes an army of zombie slaves''. Honestly, what morally good use could a power like this be put to?
* BerserkButton: When Kuma visits Moria, he's his usual arrogant self, but when Kuma implies that the World Government thinks Moria could be defeated by the Straw Hats, he flies into a rage at the accusation of his weakness.
* BolivianArmyEnding: Act 1 of the Wano arc ends with Moria surrounded by Shiryu and Catarina Devon, with Marshall D. Teach watching it play out. [[spoiler:Moria is later revealed to have been taken captive by the Blackbeard Pirates]].
* BreakTheBadass: Moria's backstory is an all too common tale amongst pirates; a promising rookie who looked to hit it big and become the Pirate King, only to run afoul the insurmountable walls that are the Four (well, three at the time) Emperors of the Sea. In Moria's case, he challenged Kaido in his territory of Wano and came away with nothing but Ryuuma's corpse and a catastrophic defeat that pushed him across the DespairEventHorizon.
* BrilliantButLazy: Moria is indeed a badass competitor worthy of his title of Warlord. He's also currently a lazy bum whose motto is "You do it!" which made him extremely rusty.
* TheBusCameBack: After being absent ever since the Summit war and Doflamingo's attempted assassination, he pops up again with a small zombie army attacking Blackbeard's base for Absalom during Chapter 925.
* CantCatchUp: After his defeat at Kaido's hands, he spent years trying to create a superpowered army to overwhelm his hated enemy with sheer force and numbers, managing to accumulate over a thousand troops by the time he ran afoul of Luffy. Simultaneously and unbeknownst to (and uncaring of) Moria, Kaido had been doing the exact same thing, but amassing a much mightier force of [[spoiler:artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruit users]] with the aid of Moria's (at the time) [[spoiler:fellow warlord, Donquixote Doflamingo.]]
* CastingAShadow: His Devil Fruit lets him manipulate shadows. He can control his own shadow and make it combat in his place, cut a person's shadow to animate a corpse or even manipulate someone else's shadow to bend his body, as he does with Oars to mimic Luffy's stretchy ability.
* ClassyCravat: Moria wears a cravat to fit his horror villain theme and make him more similar to the classic imagery of a vampire. After the time skip, Moria wears a necktie instead.
* CombatPragmatist: When he actually bothers fighting, Moria prefers the quicker and lazy way to finish off a fight and targets injured opponents to finish them off or distracts his stronger opponents with his devil fruit powers so his minions can finish off the others.
* CreepyChild: An SBS Question Corner page showing the Warlords as kids reveals Moria was a dick even as a kid (and with horns to boot), but he was more optimistic in expression than he is now. He also mentions that he used to be a very sociable person who relied on his own strength to do things and that he had many good friends, likely within his crew as well. Kaido murdering his first crew and severely wounding him turned Moria into the lazy, [[FlunkyBoss zombie-mook-reliant]] asshole he is now.
* DarkIsEvil: The wielder of darkness powers, he's a pretty unpleasant guy.
* {{Determinator}}: For all his shortcomings, Moria is at the least a very tenacious and brave man, never giving up on his ambitions despite all the trauma and failures he suffers in his life. Mihawk himself lampshades twice Moria is a difficult person to put down.
* DualWielding: The scissors he uses to cut off peoples' shadows can be split in two to be used as swords. And if he absorbs the shadows of several swordsmen, he can even become a MasterSwordsman himself.
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Moria has normal teeth during his [[FaceFramedInShadow first appearance]] before he's later given a [[FangsAreEvil mouth full of fangs]].
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While he's an evil pirate, Moria deeply cared for his former crew and their slaughter at the hands of Kaido and his crew is Moria's biggest source of trauma. In the present, despite him saying that he's made a crew of zombies so he doesn't have to get attached to anyone, Moria still cares for his fellow human mates, Perona, Absalom and Hogback [[spoiler:and he's broken when he learns of Absalom's demise]].
* EvilCounterpart: To Luffy. He revealed upon being confronted by the Straw Hats that he lost his beloved {{True Companions}} in the New World at the hands of Kaido (and still holds emotional trauma upon recalling that), and upon his defeat warned Luffy about the possibility of that happening to him, which come the very next arc, nearly did. Much like Crocodile above, he seems to act as a chilling reminder of what Luffy may become if he doesn't hold onto his dreams and his friends. Also, much like Luffy, Moria legitimately cares for his crew, [[spoiler:as seen when Moria attacked an island Blackbeard was staying on just to rescue his crewmate Absalom and was stricken upon learning Absalom had been killed.]]
** [[ExploitedTrope He can create other evil counterparts]] using his Devil Fruit power. By putting a person's shadow in a zombie, the zombie will become the shadow owner's counterpart. He has made one for Brook, and later Sanji, Zoro, and Luffy (before they go back to normal that is).
* EvilLaugh: His SignatureLaugh, "Kishishishi!"
* EvilRedhead: In the manga, where his hair is colored red. [[AdaptationDyeJob The anime changed it to purple]].
* EvilWearsBlack: Wears a long, black coat and gloves.
* ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy: Subverted. When Luffy confronts him, Moria tries to demoralize him by revealing that [[NoOntologicalInertia defeating him will not free the shadows that have been implanted in his zombies]]; he has to voluntarily order the souls to go back to their owners. However, he neglects to mention that, after a shadow has been implanted in a body, you can forcibly take it out without Moria's permission. In the case of a zombie, you can use salt or fire to free the shadow; if Moria is the one who has absorbed the shadows, you can just beat them out of him.
* FangsAreEvil: Somewhat reminiscent of a vampire.
* FatalFlaw: Moria's main flaw is his laziness. He's pretty capable and intelligent but his own laziness, as a result of losing his former crew to Kaido, leads him to not improving his skills and never fight at his fullest. It leads to his defeat at the hands of the Straw Hats and, eventually, to become too weak for his Warlord status.
* FatBastard: In a somewhat unique example to the rest of the series, his gut and just plain ''weird'' body type aren't examples of StoutStrength. He's genuinely just out of shape.
* AFatherToHisMen: Implied. The loss of the Gecko Pirates courtesy of Kaido hit him hard, leading him to believe that zombie army is the way to go to prevent such loss ever again. [[spoiler:A more direct example is when he finds out that Blackbeard's crew has killed Absalom and he can be seen holding back his tears in grief and anger.]]
* FlunkyBoss: A non-video game example, as he prefers to have his underlings do the work for him. His first fight with Luffy has him literally sitting on his ass, laying out, and offering commentary while Luffy tried, and failed, to get past Moria's shadow.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Luffy, as both were pirate captains who sought to become the Pirate King and dearly treasured [[TrueCompanions their crews]], and were devastated when their crews were cruelly torn away from them by an opponent ''way'' out of their league (Kuma/Kaido). However, the difference is that what Kuma did isn't lethal and is reversible. It's only this difference that prevented Luffy from becoming the bitter, jaded, [[FlunkyBoss zombie-mook-reliant]] and lazy washout that Moria became.
** To Brook. Both of them lost their entire crew during their adventures. Brook had his promise to Laboon to stop him from falling into despair but Moria, having nothing left, regressed into an angry, bitter washout.
* FormerlyFit:
** During the time of Gol D. Roger's execution, the younger Moria appeared to be rather muscular (even having a chin), befitting his fearsome visage. In his prime, he could apparently survive a battle with an Emperor, while nowadays, he's little more than a punching bag for a pirate upstart (an admittedly powerful one, but still). It's implied that this was a result of Moria falling into depression after the deaths of his crew.
** A brief flashback added to the Wano arc in the anime shows that when he fought Kaido, Moria looked roughly in the same shape as him.
* FreudianExcuse: After his TrueCompanions were wiped out by Kaido in Wano one year after Roger's execution, he began avoiding new attachments and surrounding himself with completely replaceable -- and nigh-indestructible -- zombies.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: His entire face and neck seem to be sliced vertically in half and stitched back again. Although 20-odd years ago, he had considerably fewer stitches, implying that it's either a fashion choice or Kaido ''really'' fucked him up bad during their battle.
* HistoryRepeats: Despite his best efforts, [[spoiler:he loses yet another dear friend to an Emperor. At least this time he still has Dr. Hogback, wherever he is.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His Shadow Asgard move. Yeah, it turns him into a giant and gives him more strength. [[ClippedWingAngel But it also makes him a bigger target and collected all of the shadows in one place for the heroes.]] What's more since he was weakened after being pummeled during the fight against Oars, he didn't have the strength to keep them in his body, having to alternate between fighting Luffy and trying to keep the shadows from escaping which eventually leads to his defeat.
* HornedHumanoid: He's one of few One Piece characters to have some.
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Not even taking into consideration losing his Warlord status and nearly dying because he'd become too weak, just compare his current self to how he used to be. Having all of his TrueCompanions slaughtered and his chin torn off ''really'' fucked him up.
* HypocriticalHumor: During the Marineford Arc, he engages in combat against Jimbei and comments on how Jimbei is so fast despite being so fat. Jimbei retorts that he does not want to be called fat by the likes of Moria.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: His Lizard Horn Spear impaled even a colossal beast like Oars Jr. with ease.
* ImpossibleShadowPuppets: Inverted with his Shadow Revolution, in which he controls the shape of the shadow to change the shape of the body casting it, due to the fundamental law of nature that the object and the shadow must '''always''' be of the same shape. He demonstrated this by turning Oars into a RubberMan and a giant ball.
* InconsistentSpelling: Databook Green uses Gekko Moriah. Viz and [=FUNimation=], and thus TV Tropes, uses "Gecko Moria".
* IWasQuiteALooker: Downplayed. Being a gigantic, white-skinned, devil-like man with horns and fangs, he was never a looker by any account, but he sure [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/0/02/Gekko_Moriah_at_Age_26.png/revision/latest?cb=20130624083802 wasn't as ugly]] in the past as he is nowadays when you look at the extremely fat character image in his folder.
* LargeAndInCharge: So very much to the zombies, except for Oars.
* LastVillainStand: By the climax of the Thriller Bark Arc, he knows he's done for. Most of his zombie army has been stopped, his secret weapon Oars has been defeated, he himself is injured, and he's surrounded by the wounded but ''very'' vengeful pirates he's stolen the shadows from for years. However, the realization that his ship is leaving the fog it once resided in, the fact that the sun is starting to rise in the east and he himself being right in the middle of his VillainousBreakdown causes him to put it all on the line and unleash his [[ClippedWingAngel Shadows Asgard]], desperately trying to buy a few more minutes for the sun to rise and at least take the ones responsible for destroying his work down with him.
* LivingShadow: He can animate his shadow, which he calls Doppelman, to [[GuardianEntity fight for him while he lazes around]]. Doppelman doesn't take damage, its form can be changed at will, it can fly, and it can even swap places with the real Moria.
* MadeOfIron: He may lack strength, but think about it: he got up after being totally pummeled by ''Nightmare Luffy'', alias Luffy with the skills and fighting power of 100 people combined to his own. He got up (though after some time), went OneWingedAngel and then survived two [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique Gum Gum Giant Jet Shell]] in a row ''and'' a '''falling tower''' before finally fainting. He may not be good in direct combat, but he surely has one hell of a stamina!
* ManChild: He spent at least half of his screen time during the Thriller Bark Arc acting like this. [[FromBadToWorse Then he got serious]].
* MeaningfulName: "''Gekko''" is Japanese for "moonlight", and also sounds similar to his AnimalMotif, the gecko. Moria is a very creepy and dangerous location in [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Middle-Earth]] and, with a different accent stress becomes an old Italian word indicating the deaths of many (usually farm animals) after a plague/drought. Furthermore, from "Gecko Moria" you can get the word "Komori", bat, his second AnimalMotif.
* MonsterClown: The checkered trousers and ridiculous boots he wears don't exactly fit your typical image of a fearsome necromancer. Plus, the whole attitude.
* {{Necromancer}}: Revives the undead by implanting shadows of his victims within them.
* NeverBeHurtAgain: His reason for using zombies instead of living people for his Thriller Bark Pirates is so he will never form attachments and then feel pain when they die off, unlike what happened when Kaido slaughtered the Gecko Pirates. [[spoiler:It doesn't quite work, as Blackbeard killing Absalom shows.]]
* NightmareFace: During his VillainousBreakdown, when he reveals his FreudianExcuse, his eyes enlarge to the point of sporting bulging veins, his pupils shrink to an incredibly tiny size and combined with his SlasherSmile it makes him look ''completely unhinged''.
* NinjaLog: The main problem with fighting Moria is that he can swap places with [[LivingShadow Doppelman]] at any time.
* NonActionGuy: As far as a Warlord (who's expected by the government to fight and defeat other pirates regularly) possibly can be. He basically sits on his ass and lets his zombies and shadow clones fight for him, and his few offensive techniques involve [[PowersDoTheFighting using his powers without himself actually having to move much]] (such as launching his shadow like a spear from a standing position). When he does finally go OneWingedAngel and fight head on, Luffy beats him relatively easily.
* NoOntologicalInertia: Double subverted. Initially, he tells Luffy that no matter what happens to him, the shadows he stole will never return to their proper owners unless he tells them to. However, once he absorbs all the shadows for his Shadows Asgard technique, [[ClippedWingAngel the issue is simplified down to beating them out of his bloated mouth]].
* ObviouslyEvil: Nothing screams "I'm evil!" more than a demonic appearance. He looked even more sinister back in the day when he was thin enough to actually have a jawline, and was also HellBentForLeather, apparently. Though it's implied he wasn't nearly as bad a guy back then.
* OneWingedAngel: His Shadows Asgard technique where he absorbs a thousand shadows to become monstrous. This also counts as ClippedWingAngel since this form can be defeated by beating the shadows out of him, and he moves sluggishly in this form. Also crosses over into TheLastDance territory. Zoro even points out that the only reason he took this form was to stall for time in the hopes that the sun would rise before he was defeated so that all the shadow-less people would be vaporized in its rays, giving him an automatic win.
* ParentalSubstitute: To Perona. Oda said that he found Perona when she was still a child and raised her ever since, and she loves him like a parent, enough that she'd rush to his rescue [[spoiler:when she hears that he's been captured by the Blackbeard Pirates]].
* PeoplePuppets: His Kage Kakumei (Shadow Revolution) involves his shadow invading Oars', allowing him to contort his body to match the shape of the shadow. Raises unsettling implications on the effect of someone who wasn't a pain-less zombie.
* PersonalityPowers: Moria has the power to manipulate shadows. Moria, likewise, is a shadow of his former self who never managed to recover from losing his crew.
* PetTheDog:
** He adopted the orphaned Perona years ago and provided her with a comfy and pampered life aboard the Thriller Bark.
** [[spoiler:Makes his first appearance in the time skip starting a fight on one of Blackbeard's favorite islands. Why? To rescue one of his few living minions -- Absalom. He's genuinely happy and relieved when he sees Absalom is alive... which makes it heartbreaking later when he learns that "Absalom" is actually Catarina Devon, while the real Absalom is dead.]]
* PowersDoTheFighting: He's gotten very lazy and lets his own shadow do both offense ''and'' defense for him while fighting Luffy for the first time. Only when things gets serious he fights by himself. It enters Deconstruction territory when this habit of letting his shadow fight in his place causes him to become too weak to keep his Warlord title, which is even lampshaded by Jimbei during their fight.
* PowerLevels: He is probably the most notable [[AvertedTrope aversion]] of the concept of using bounties as this. He has the second-highest bounty of the Warlords prior to his removal yet is among the weakest of their member. He might have been living up to his bounty before, though, before his bad past with Kaido. Moria himself uses shadows as a power level, guessing correctly that Luffy has used 100 shadows to become Nightmare Luffy. So to try and one up him, Moria absorbs all 1000 shadows of ''Thriller Bark''.
* RankScalesWithAsskicking: Subverted as he used others to fight for him, and as soon as he fights, he's a glorified punching bag. It's heavily implied that he used to be ''far'' more powerful before Kaido murdered his crew and turned him into the FlunkyBoss that Luffy and co. dealt with.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: His rant against Luffy, stating that he's going to lose all his crew in the New World in his current state. He's [[VillainHasAPoint proven right]]: none of the Straw Hats before the time-skip are anywhere ''near'' as powerful as they need to be to survive even their first battle against New World enemies and not long after this speech, Kuma does annihilate the Straw Hat Pirates scattering them all across the world, while during the Summit War Luffy is completely outclassed by the other fighters and goes through a trauma almost as severe as that which broke Moria.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Despite rumors that he's killed by Doflamingo after the Summit war, Mihawk and several others attest that [[spoiler:he's still alive and they are proven right when he appears in Blackbeard's territory]].
* ScaryTeeth: Has two rows of sharp fangs that he always shows off with his {{Slasher Smile}}s which emphasize his vampiric appearance.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: He didn't take the announcement that he [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness had outlived his usefulness]] very well, and skedaddled with help from Absalom.
* TheShadowKnows: A fundamental rule of his Shadow power is that "the shadow always corresponds with the physical body". This is why those who had their shadows stolen by him disintegrate in the sun -- since they cast no shadow, [[PuffOfLogic then they cannot exist.]] Exploiting this principle allows him to ''invert'' it with his "Shadow Revolution" technique -- by warping the shadow, the ''physical body'' must then conform to the new shape.
* ShadowWalker: His Doppelman can fly far away safely, then he can [[NinjaLog switch places with his shadow.]]
* ShapingYourAttacks: Can turn his shadow in a flock of bats, a lizard-like spear and anything else he could imagine probably...
* SlasherSmile: His sharp teeth make his smug smile all the more creepy.
* SoleSurvivor: Of his first crew, the Gecko Pirates. Over twenty years later, he still greatly mourns their loss.
* SquishyWizard: Moria's Shadow-Shadow Fruit is very strong as it allows him to revive corpses and create a copy to fight for himself, but he's also out of shape and the physically weakest Warlord.
* StealthPun: He could be considered a ''[[HowTheMightyHaveFallen shadow]]'' of his former self.
* SuperpowerLottery: Like most of his fellow Warlords. In fact, [[SwissArmySuperpower his versatile Devil Fruit]] was the only thing that kept him in the Seven Warlords since he's otherwise weak without it. He can take anybody's shadow by snipping it right out of the ground as though it were paper, and no matter how strong they are, they ''will'' fall unconscious for a while, allowing him to do what he wants with their shadow without getting the tar beat out of him instantly. With the power to put the shadows in any potentially powerful corpse and no limit on how many he can stuff himself with (unlike others, the original user can stuff themselves with however many shadows they want) he could very easily raise an insanely powerful undead army. His Fruit also gives him several "passive attacking" techniques (creating shadow clones of himself, creating shadow bats to pester his foes, creating zombies to fight for him, etc.), which help make someone out of shape like him formidable regardless.
* ThrowTheDogABone: [[spoiler:Perona manages to get Koby, and by extension SWORD, to agree to set Moria free when he's imprisoned on Fullalead]].
* TookALevelInJerkass: His SBS appearance, while having a CreepyChild vibe, is clearly the most optimistic looking of the warlords as kids; cue the present where he's an ass to everyone. Having your entire pirate crew wiped out by a {{Jerkass}} Emperor can do that to you.
* TraumaCongaLine: Loses his first crew the Gecko Pirates to Kaido, loses to Luffy, double-crossed by the World Government and left for dead by Doflamingo, and finally loses one of his closest companions to Blackbeard... yeah, Moria fits. You can't help but feel a little bad for the guy, despite what a huge {{Jerkass}} he is.
* TrueCompanions: With his first crew the Gecko Pirates, who were all killed by the Emperor Kaido in Wano one year after Roger's execution. Even after some years after their deaths, he still thinks rather fondly of them and remembering their fates enrages him greatly.
** It's implied that he's this to the other members of the Mysterious Four, even if he doesn't admit it: When Moria fell to Luffy, Hogback and Absalom escaped ''Thriller Bark'' with him, even though they could have abandoned him. Perona never doubted Moria's survival after the Summit war and when she received news [[spoiler:confirming he's alive, she prepared to travel to his current whereabouts.]] Moria, for his part, upon hearing of Absalom's capture, responded by ''storming an Emperor's favorite island'', despite knowing that the Emperor in question '''was in residence at the time''', to try and rescue him.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: He took it as a personal insult when Kuma arrived to inform him that the WG sent him to help beat Luffy. Moria insisted he'd defeat the "Straw Hat rookies" himself. Turns out Luffy was much tougher than he anticipated, which his loss of power didn't help in the slightest.
** He thinks that his special 900th zombie Oars will be enough to defeat Kaido. Oars was defeated by just one rookie pirate crew, let alone an Emperor and his crew of far stronger pirates.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: While he did give off CreepyChild vibes, he did seem to show more optimism than he does now. He also used to do things with his own power and had a lot of friends, in contrast to the present where he would make his zombies do everything for him.
* UnknownRival: Moria hates Kaido for killing his Gecko Pirates and has spent the rest of his life preparing for the day he can finally avenge them. From Kaido's perspective, Moria was just another rookie pirate among hundreds over the years who got too big for their britches and then were crushed by the Emperors. It's likely Kaido doesn't even remember Moria given that he never talks about him once.
* UnskilledButStrong: While Moria's Shadow-Shadow Fruit grants him many powerful abilities and enables him to make an undead army to fight for him, Moria himself is lethargic, has almost no fighting technique, and demonstrates no known Haki abilities. Possibly a JustifiedTrope as far as the narrative goes, as considering his [[{{Familiar}} Doppelman]] never takes damage and can [[NinjaLog swap places with Moria at the drop of a hat]], a Moria with even ''a little'' [[CombatClairvoyance Observation Haki]] would be far, far out of the Straw Hats' league pre-TimeSkip.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His theft of Ryuma's corpse and sword Shusui is seen by some residents of Wano as the catalyst for the country's decline, which ultimately ended with Kaidou and Orochi taking it over.
* VillainousBreakdown: After his strongest zombie Oars is defeated by the Straw Hats and the Rolling Pirates, who all demand that he give their shadows back, Moria ''snaps'', ranting about how he lost his old beloved pirate crew to Kaido and how Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates will suffer the same fate due to being too weak for the New World, all while sporting a completely unhinged and terrifying NightmareFace. Then he absorbs everyone's shadows into his body and uses ''[[OneWingedAngel Shadow's Asgard]]'', which provokes a MassOhCrap.
* VillainHasAPoint: In the climax of his fight with Luffy, Moria mocks him stating at his current level he would only lose everything. The Sabaody arc would prove Moria's statements to be true, as when the Straw Hats are facing the Pacifistas and Admiral Kizaru, the crew would have been killed had Rayleigh and Kuma not showed up to save them.
* WeakButSkilled: While "weak" is a bit much, he is the least powerful Warlord, as well as the least [[LazyBum physically fit]], to the point he gets derived of his Warlord title. However, thanks to great and creative use of his Devil Fruit, still proves to be a challenge for Luffy and the entire Straw Hat crew.
* WeakenedByTheLight: People who have had their shadows stolen by Moria will be vaporized in the sunlight. However, if their shadow returns to them before they're completely vaporized, they'll return to normal (see ImpossibleShadowPuppets).
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Out of all the Seven Warlords (or anyone, really), he's the most cordial towards Kuma, ordering his henchmen to shut up and not bother him when he arrived on ''Thriller Bark'' and entered his mansion. Though, he quickly lost his temper with him when he explained why he came, expressed that the latter's loyalty to the World Government made him wary of Kuma and took him using his CatchPhrase[[note]]"If you're going on a trip, where would you like to go?"[[/note]] as a challenge to a fight.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: The reason why he's a lazy, ineffectual joke of a villain who relies on his zombies to be a threat can be chalked up to the trauma of watching Kaido slaughter his entire Gecko Pirates and his subsequent vow to never lose another person working under his flag, which is honestly a pretty understandable and compelling motivation [[spoiler:(not to mention the fact that one of his few true friends after that incident was murdered by Blackbeard's men)]]. He's still a complete asshole, but at the core, he's also a deeply traumatized and broken man with maladaptive coping mechanisms.
* TheWorfEffect: After losing to Luffy, in the Summit War, he's one-shotted by Jimbei which shows how much weaker he has gotten compared to his fellow Warlords and gets kicked out of the group after the war.
* YankTheDogsChain: As much of an asshole as Moria is, he's also a genuinely broken man who never recovered from having his entire crew slaughtered on his watch and it's obvious that after this, he still genuinely cared about his inner circle and after his humiliation at the hands of the Straw Hats (and later Jimbei) and narrow escape from death at the hands of Doflamingo, he still had them. Then [[spoiler:Absalom was murdered by the Blackbeard Pirates and had his Devil Fruit eaten]]. Talk about ripping open old wounds.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Doflamingo told him that the World Government wants him dead after his bad performance in the Summit War.
* ZergRush: His Brick Bat technique turns his shadow into a flock of bats that he sics towards his opponents to overwhelm them.
* ZombieApocalypse: His Devil Fruit powers enable him to revive dead bodies by implanting shadows within them. When the Straw Hats shows up he has already collected roughly a thousand of them, enough to inhabit an entire island.
* ZombieMooks: He uses his Devil Fruit power to make them in place of a traditional crew.

!!Absalom "of the Graveyard"
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HiroakiMiura (JP), Creator/AndrewChandler (EN), Miguel del León (Latin American Spanish)
!!!'''Age:''' 34 (Pre-Timeskip), 36 (Post-Timeskip)
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 444 (Manga), Episode 339 (Anime)
!!!'''Devil Fruit:''' [[{{Invisibility}} Clear-Clear Fruit]]
[[quoteright:205:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/absalom_anime.png]]
One of the Mysterious Four of Thriller Bark and leader of the Soldiers Zombies and General Zombies. He's a real pervert (to the point the zombies calls him "Ero-salom") but outside of that he's a really dedicated persona, even moreso than Hogback and Perona and is also really devoted to his boss, Gecko Moria. He has eaten the Clear-Clear Fruit (''Suke Suke no Mi'') which gives him the ability to become invisible and make invisible anything he touches. He also has his body modified with different animals body parts, making him much stronger.\\\
He first "appears" on the ship where he [[EstablishingCharacterMoment harasses Robin]] and later drugs and kidnaps Nami to be his bride. Both his attempts are unsuccessful, the first one ends with him trading blows with Sanji, mad at him for both trying to marry Nami and "stealing" him the one Devil Fruit he would've eaten and, after a brief fight, he's defeated. And in the second attempt Nami wakes up and shocks him, knocking him out for good. At the end of the arc, he manages to recover and leave the island along with Hogback and an unconscious Gecko Moria.\\\
At Marineford, he saves Moria's skin and after the two year time-skip he has become a reporter. At some point, he's abducted by the Blackbeard Pirates and killed to poach his Devil Fruit powers, with his ability going to Shiryu.

* CopiedTheMoralsToo: A side-effect of their creation has them inheriting the personality and morals of their shadow's original owners, such as the zombie created from Sanji's shadow inheriting his policy to never kick a woman, Zoro's inheriting his principles about being a swordsman, and Oars inheriting Luffy's desire to be King of the Pirates. This makes them difficult to control in their early state, but it's {{downplayed|Trope}} in that most of these personality traits eventually vanish and the zombies become completely loyal to Moria and his officers.
