Contract Red Hair Shanks, the school beauty kicked me off the boat

Chapter 249 Shadow Gathering Ground, Absorbing Five Hundred People

"Huh?!" Rona's empty eyes widened instantly, in disbelief.

She had never encountered such a "filthy," "despicable," and "utterly devoid of dignity" attack method! Even more terrifying was that the projectile was coated with explosives, and the intense irritation from the mixture of chili powder and rotten eggs instantly shattered her mental composure, which was maintaining a negative mental wave.

"Ah—! My eyes! They sting! They stink! They're disgusting!!" Rona screamed shrilly, no longer a hollow ghostly whisper, but a scream filled with pain and physical revulsion.

She covered her face, her semi-transparent body trembling violently, unable to maintain her power any longer, and the negative mental wave enveloped her instantly.

As Rona's abilities faded, the heavy shackles that had weighed on Xiao Ke, Xia Ling, Sun Long, Zhao Yan'er, and the others melted away like snow. The vicious whispers of self-doubt quickly receded, and a sense of power returned to their bodies.

“I…” Xiao Ke suddenly raised his head, his eyes regaining their sharpness and clarity. Looking at his kneeling posture and the fallen gun, a sense of shame and anger instantly replaced his negativity.

"Bastard! How dare you resort to such tactics! What a vicious ability."

"Disgrace!" Sun Long roared, instantly grabbing three knives from the ground, his murderous aura soaring to the sky!
"Unforgivable!" Xia Ling stood up, her aura even more chilling than before!

"How dare you make me cry?!" Zhao Yan'er wiped away her tears, and the flames on her fists exploded with a "boom," becoming even more intense and violent than before!
"Wu Xingyun! Well done!" someone shouted.

Hearing the shout, Wu Xingyun looked up in confusion: "Huh? What...what did I do? Has the opponent's ability been dispelled?"

He looked at Rona, who was writhing on the ground in pain, clutching her face and seemingly powerless, and then at the officers who had instantly regained their fighting spirit and were like enraged lions. He was still a little dazed.

"Hold the line!" Xiao Ke's voice regained its usual calmness, and the gunshot rang out again, accurately detonating the core of a zombie sea beast that was lunging at Qiao Ling'er.

The officers unleashed an even greater fury and fighting spirit than before, instantly clearing out the zombies that were rushing towards them and stabilizing the almost collapsing defense line.

The crisis was averted by Wu Xingyun's extremely undignified yet crucial strike.
Inside the Bone Castle, Moya watched as Rona covered her face and screamed in agony in the Dark Mirror, her abilities failing, and the fury erupting from the Tyrant Feather executives. His face was so dark it could drip water.

"Useless! All of you are useless!" He gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with rage and a hint of... even more insane light.

"It seems I'll still have to rely on my final evolution and my old friends! Ye Yu, I'm going to have your shadow!"

His gaze returned to the area shrouded in powerful death energy in the mirror. There, the resurrected Golden Demon, Baye, Yang Luo, and other powerful zombies had surrounded Ye Yu, their cold and malicious attacks surging in like a tide of death.

At this moment, Ye Yu continued to defeat powerful zombies such as Yang Luo.

Ye Yu's voice was icy, like a death sentence, as the tip of his knife pointed at the remaining Golden Demon and Ba Ye Zombie.

"Your true forms are all trash to me, mere shadows and corpses, yet you dare to return?"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Yu's figure had already vanished. His speed was so fast that he left only a faint afterimage in his wake.

The Golden Demon Zombie instinctively raised its weapon, wreathed in death energy, to block, while the Baya Zombie roared and swung its iron fist! However…

Clang! boom!
Black Blade Night clashed with the famous sword, producing a piercing metallic clang. Dark red domineering aura pressed down on the famous sword, shattering it inch by inch. At the same time, Ye Yu's left fist, wrapped in the same domineering aura, struck first despite being behind, and slammed into the iron fist that the zombie Ba Ye was blasting at him.

A terrifying shockwave erupted, and the zombie's fists, harder than steel, along with its forearms, shattered like fragile glass under the impact of the domineering force, sending bluish-gray rotting flesh and bone fragments flying everywhere.

"Roar!" The golden demon zombie let out a roar that was not human, trying to fight back, but Ye Yu's blade was faster! A slash wrapped in dark red lightning swept across its neck as if by teleportation.

puff!

The golden zombie's head flew high into the air, the ghostly flames in its empty eye sockets flickering violently a few times before finally going out completely. The massive headless body stood frozen for a moment before collapsing with a crash.

Of the powerful zombies, only Baye remained. Having lost an arm, it staggered backward, its empty eyes seemingly filled only with instinctive fear of Ye Yu. "Moya!" Ye Yu's voice, like thunder, pierced through the black mist and rushed straight to the Bone Castle!

"Your tricks are over! Come out and face your death."

Inside the castle, Moya watched through the Dark Mirror as his proud masterpiece was easily destroyed by Ye Yu like rotten wood. In particular, the instantaneous defeat of Yang Luo's zombie and the Golden Demon Zombie caused the muscles on his face to twitch violently. They were so strong.

"Impossible!!!" Moya roared like a beast, shaking the entire skeletal throne. He stood up abruptly, burying his hands in his thick hair, looking like a madman.

"My Shadow-Shadow Fruit is invincible! My zombie army is perfect! Why?! Why can't I stop him?!"

Buck was already so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, trembling.

"It's those corpses! Those corpses weren't strong enough! No... it's Ye Yu... he's stronger than described in the intelligence! Level 50... is this what a level 50 monster is like?" Mo Ya's eyes were bloodshot, filled with resentment, anger, and a hint of madness driven to the brink of despair.

"No! I haven't lost yet! I still have my last trump card! That's myself! Even more overpowered. In my opinion, the strongest Devil Fruit, the Shadow-Shadow Fruit!"

"Right now, I'm no match for Ye Yu, and I can't even beat Yang Luo in a one-on-one fight. But this isn't my strongest form. Now I'll go straight for my strongest form and then deal with Ye Yu!"

"Shadow-Shadow Fruit, a gathering place for shadows!!"

Moya let out a hysterical roar, and the shadows all over his body surged out like boiling ink! The shadow beneath his feet instantly expanded and twisted, like a bottomless abyss! Inside the castle, all the shadows on the walls, the dome, and the ground began to converge madly towards Moya!

Even the shadows left on the corpses of the slain zombies on the battlefield outside the castle turned into wisps of black mist, which were forcibly drawn out and surged into the castle across space!
"Ah!!!" Moya roared, a mixture of pain and power. His body began to swell and deform under the intense shadows. His skin turned the color of the deepest night, his bat-like ears elongated and became ferocious, his sharp teeth protruded, and his aura surged at a terrifying speed, filled with chaos, violence, and a dark will that devoured everything.

Rumble!
The entire Shadow Isles trembled violently, and the reefs formed by shipwrecks and skeletons on the island's perimeter began to crack and collapse. In the center of the island, the massive skeletal castle, shrouded in dense shadows, began to twist and reshape itself like a melting wax figure.

To the horrified gazes of the crew of the Yuu Pirates, the Bone Castle, along with the massive mountain beneath it, transformed into a terrifying giant that stood tall and imposing, enveloped in endless shadows!
This giant stood hundreds of meters tall, entirely composed of flowing, viscous, ink-like shadows. The castle's spires and the outlines of skeletons could still be vaguely seen embedded within its shadowy body. The giant's head was none other than Moya's gigantic face, shrouded in shadow, revealing only scarlet eyes and ferocious fangs.

"Roar!!!"

The shadow giant, the shadow warrior Moya, let out a deafening roar, and the sound waves transformed into a tangible black shockwave, instantly shattering a large area of ​​the dock.

Countless zombies were instantly pulverized by the terrifying sound waves. There was no need to continue, as they had reached their absorption limit; continuing would cause an explosion. They had already absorbed five hundred of the most powerful zombies, including strong individuals like Yang Luo.

"Did you see that, Ye Yu!!" The Shadow Warrior Mo Ya's voice was like rolling thunder, resounding through the heavens and earth, filled with madness and a sense of power to control everything.

"This is the ultimate power of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit! I am now the strongest in this world, not you! You have made contracts with seven powerful pirates, but I have absorbed five hundred! Seven versus five hundred, the difference is too great! You are no match for me now!"

His enormous, shadowy arm rose, blotting out the sky, and with an aura of annihilation, slammed down fiercely towards the tiny Ye Yu on the dock and the Tyrant Feather Pirate Ship behind him.

"Captain!" Xiao Ke and the others' expressions changed drastically. They hadn't expected the Shadow-Shadow Fruit to be so powerful; it was beyond the scope of human power to contend with! This was practically a natural disaster.

They felt that this one strike could shatter an entire island.

Ye Yu couldn't help but sigh that this Moria was more talented than Moria from One Piece. Moria worked harder to hone himself and develop the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, making him even stronger. He could even withstand a thousand shadows. In the original work, he was very powerful after absorbing it and could shatter an island with one palm. However, because Moria himself was not strong enough, he could not withstand it and collapsed.

Facing the gigantic, shadowy hand that slammed down like divine punishment, Ye Yu's eyes burned with an unprecedentedly fierce fighting spirit. After reaching level 50, what he craved was an opponent like this, someone who could make him fight seriously. Moreover, the stronger the opponent, the more experience he would gain.

"Very good, become part of my vast experience points."
