One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

As a swarm of shadow bats flew out of the castle, Moria's enormous body finally stood before Abel.

"Hehehe, you actually managed to defeat my zombie army and get here. I'm taking your shadow!"

Standing nearly 7 meters tall, with a scallion-like hairstyle, and resembling a demon, it has two horns on the sides of its forehead, sharp ears and teeth, and crisscrossing sutures resembling stitched wounds along its head and neck. It wears a shirt with a bat-like collar and Gothic-style clothing.

"How ugly!"

Abel spoke his mind with utmost sincerity.

Moriah's laughter stopped abruptly, and several 'h' symbols appeared on either side of his forehead.

"Ugly? You dare say that I, Lord Gecko Moria, am ugly? Kid, are you blind?"

Moriah was somewhat exasperated, as Abel had immediately broken down his defenses with just two words.

"Oh, sorry, I take back what I just said. You're not just ugly, you're fucking, absolutely, utterly ugly!"

"Kid, I've changed my mind. I'm going to kill you, turn you into a zombie, and hang you on the wall for my enjoyment every day!"

Moriah was completely enraged. He transformed his shadow into a spear and shot it toward Abel.

Shadow Spear!

The Shadow Spear was incredibly fast, reaching Abel almost instantly.

Abel precisely positioned his black sword, Shusui, horizontally in front of him, covering it with Armament Haki, and blocked the attack.

Although he was forcibly pushed backward several meters, he was unharmed.

Disregarding martial ethics and resorting to sneak attacks?

Abel laughed and fired 20 fireballs in quick succession.

"Shadow Mage!"

Moria immediately summoned a 'shadow clone' to block in front of him.

What kind of attack can damage a shadow?

At least physical attacks and fire attacks won't work.

Therefore, 20 fireballs hitting the Shadow Mage were completely ineffective, causing no damage whatsoever.

But it wasn't completely ineffective.

The burning fireballs blocked Moria's vision, and although it was only for a short time, it was enough.

Abel left an illusion behind, while his true form mysteriously appeared behind Moria.

Breath of Darkness, First Form: Shadow Strike!

Swish!

Abel brought down the Autumn Water Blade.

However, the expected scene of the blade cutting through flesh did not appear.

Looking up, I realized that Moria had swapped a part of his body with the Shadow Mage in front of him.

This means that Abel's strike still hit the Shadow Mage's body.

Shadow Mage can ignore any damage!

This move is so overpowered that it's practically a bug.

Abel was somewhat amazed, unaware that Moriah was also taken aback.

If he hadn't sensed the danger at the last moment and switched parts of his body in time, he would definitely not have fared well if he had been hit by that knife.

"Flying bat!"

Moria simply swapped his entire body with the Shadow Mage, and then split the Shadow Mage into a large number of bat-shaped shadows, which attacked Abel.

Faced with the bites of these shadow bats, Abel was covered in Armament Haki and was not afraid.

However, his sword could only knock these shadow bats away, but could not cut them down.

He began to realize how troublesome Moria was.

This Shadow-Shadow Fruit is indeed extraordinary.

Furthermore, Moria's current strength has not yet deteriorated to the extent it would be ten years later.

"Shadow Box!"

Seizing the opportune moment, Moria controlled a swarm of shadow bats to surround Abel, which then formed a black, box-like cube that trapped him.

"Hehehe, kid, this is the price for angering me, Moria!"

Moria burst into laughter. He had already captured the man; what trouble could he possibly cause now?

He just hadn't decided yet whether to take the guy's shadow or just kill him and leave it for Hogback to make into a zombie.

But one thing is for sure: no matter how you use it, this guy is a good material.

However, Abel felt that Moriah was celebrating too soon.

Suddenly, the projector began to deform violently.

Immediately afterwards, a golden light forcefully shattered the shadow box into pieces.

"what?!"

Moria was greatly surprised. Apart from Kaido, who had used brute force to break free from the shadow box, this was the first time someone had broken this move using some unknown method.

In reality, Abel's method of countering this move was quite simple: his clothes were ripped open!

Chapter 463 Autumn Water Cuts Through the Moonlight

【Clothes Bursting】This skill is effective against all defensive abilities or items.

The Shadow Box ability combines both binding and defensive effects, so it naturally cannot withstand the impact of [Clothes Bursting].

So with a flash of golden light, it was instantly restored to its original shadow form.

The experiment was a success!

This also gave Abel another way to deal with Moriah.

Activate the talent [Heart of the Others]!

Activate the talent [Beast Power]!

Unlock the mark [Dark Wings]!

After stacking the buffs, Abel put away his pistol, stomped the ground, and instantly rushed in front of Moria.

cut!

This incredibly fierce strike made Moria's eyelids twitch wildly.

Without hesitation, he released the Shadow Mage again, attempting to block the attack with the Shadow Mage, who was immune to all damage.

But in reality, this strike was just a feint by Abel.

His left fist, which he had tucked behind his back, was once again emitting golden light.

Clothes ripped open!

A burst of golden light instantly destroyed the Shadow Mage, reverting him to his original form.

Then Abel threw another punch, still with the familiar golden light, but even more dazzling and full of boundless power.

Dragon Fist!

Moria's obese body was immediately rammed by a golden dragon and sent flying. While still in the air, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. Then, the golden dragon coiled around him and exploded with a bang.

Moria crashed heavily to the ground in a truly miserable manner.

His once round belly was now completely sunken in, and his clothes were torn to shreds and covered in blood.

But its ability to withstand impact deserves praise.

If Old Sand's true form had been hit by Abel's punch, he would have been on his way to meet God.

Moria, however, was able to stagger to his feet and, judging from his expression, still had the strength to fight.

"How could I lose here, to a brat like you!"

"Come in, all of you, become my strength, Shadow Gathering Place!"

With bloodshot eyes, Moria launched a final, frantic counterattack.

In an instant, all the shadows he had seized on the entire Thriller Bark seemed to be summoned, shooting out like arrows and rushing into Moria's mouth.

As Moria consumed more and more shadows, his body grew larger and larger.

One hundred, two hundred...

In the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand shadows merged into Moria's body.

This also continuously strengthened him to the point where he resembled a true giant.

But that power wasn't his own, so now he looked like a balloon that had been forcibly inflated, ready to burst at any moment.

What's even more hilarious is that Moria himself couldn't support his current body and had to use both hands and feet to brace himself up to avoid falling.

"How about that? Scared now? I now possess the power of a thousand shadows!"

Moriah roared, and even his voice changed.

It was clear that he was trying his best to control the enormous shadow power within his body with his mental strength, but his constantly shifting gaze betrayed him.

He could lose consciousness and go berserk at any moment.

Moria was well aware of his predicament, so he wanted to finish the job quickly.

"go to hell!"

Moria, bracing himself on all fours, immediately raised his right fist and slammed it down with all his might.

However, in Abel's eyes at this moment, he was full of flaws and not as troublesome as he was at the beginning.

It's like having strength but being incredibly clumsy, completely abandoning the agile fleshy stake.
