The Journey of Freedom After the Awakening of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit

The Journey of Freedom After the Awakening of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit Author: Shuang Rufeng

Moria had just transmigrated when he was knocked unconscious by Cornetto's "Thunder Bagua" and woke up as the first King Addiction enthusiast at the King Addiction Center, the future Shichibukai - Gecko Moria.

But that wasn't the worst of it. In the dimly lit cell, Moria spent countless days and nights with the iron whips of lowly henchmen. Until one day, his Shadow-Shadow Fruit powers awakened, and Moria finally revealed his hideous face. In this lawless world, he... was about to unleash his true nature.

Chapter 01: Addicted to One Piece

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!!"

"Thunderous roar!!"

In the dimly lit cell, Moria, his face a bloody mess, leaned against the wall, his eyes, barely visible, seemed to glaze over, as if the rough shouts were still echoing in his ears.

After a long while, Moria came to his senses, felt a stinging pain on his face, gritted his teeth, looked down at the handcuffs on his hands, felt weak all over, and then took a deep breath.

That's right!

He Moriah has traveled through time!

He transmigrated to the world of One Piece, but his start was different from his predecessors. He was even more miserable; as soon as he transmigrated, he was hit by a cute "Thunderous Bagua" and that was it.

When I woke up again, I was lying in a prison cell!

Through a sliver of light piercing the heavy iron threshold, one could see the white stone mountain standing in the distance and hear the sounds of blacksmithing and mining.

Moria deduced that he must have arrived in Wano Country, at the King Addiction Treatment Center in Koro, and might even be the first King Addiction enthusiast there.

"So who am I?" Moria asked the question that every transmigrator would ask. Without inheriting any memories, he didn't know who he had become.

All we know is that it is very large, at least three meters tall.

Wearing sea stone handcuffs, if I'm not mistaken, he should be an ability user, and a strong one at that.

After all, Moria was able to withstand Kaido's "Thunder Bagua" attack and survive. Compared to Luffy, Moria must have the strength of a fifth emperor.

"Now that we've been captured, should we surrender to Kaido, or surrender to Kaido first?"

Although both involve seeking refuge, there are still some differences between the two.

The former then followed Kaido, and with the strength of the Fifth Emperor, he should be able to become a disaster leader in the future.

The latter should first seek refuge, survive, accumulate strength, and then leave Wano Country once they are powerful enough.

"and then?"

Moria suddenly realized that, without a doubt, Moria's identity was that of a pirate, and a wanted criminal at that.

After leaving Wano Country, he was not only hunted down by Kaido's Beasts Pirates, but the Marines also did not let him go.

That would be asking for trouble. Thinking about it this way, I can stay with Kaido for now and live a more comfortable life. The Navy is wary of Kaido and doesn't dare to target him too much.

It's not too late to leave when Luffy comes to Wano Country.

With the goal of living a more comfortable and peaceful life, why bother working so hard when you've already transmigrated? Wouldn't it be better to just live a quiet and peaceful life until the end?

To experience the charm of this world and live happily.

"That's a happy decision then!" Moria thought to himself, pleased with himself. "When someone comes, I'll just say I've decided to join Kaido's side."

That way, I won't have to undergo Wang Yin's rehabilitation anymore!

Tread!

At this moment, a henchman walked into the cell, took out a key, opened the cell door, and urged Moria inside: "Come out and get to work. If you don't collect 500 kilograms today, you won't get any food."

"Hey! Kid." Moria didn't get up, but said to the henchman, "I've decided to join Kaido's side. Contact him quickly and see how to arrange things."

The lackey outside the door was stunned upon hearing this, looking at Moria in disbelief. Then, seeing Moria's seemingly serious expression, he pouted with a look of disdain, turned around, closed the door, and left.

"What's the meaning???"

"What did that look mean? Come back and explain yourself."

"You look down on me, don't you? I'm a powerful figure who can rival the future Fifth Emperor!" The look in the little lackey's eyes before he left made Moria feel uneasy.

Ghost Island!

Kai was somewhat sober and hadn't been drinking. He sat on the ground listening to his subordinates' Den Den Mushi (snail phone) report that Li Yang wanted to defect.

Kaido frowned after hearing this. "That bat brat doesn't seem like the type to give in so easily!"

"Could it be that they are feigning allegiance and then trying to escape?"

Thinking of yesterday's fierce battle, Kaido felt he had guessed Moria's insidious scheme, and he was immediately furious. He thought Kaido might look reckless, but he wasn't stupid.

"No matter what that guy says from now on, ignore him. First, train him properly for a few years," Kaido ordered.

"Whee!"

"Yes, Lord Kaido!" The person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi chuckled knowingly, then hung up.

Kaido's gaze turned towards Kuri in Wano Country, where there was a man he feared, and that was where his attention was now focused.

Poor Moria was unaware of Kaido's decision and was still thinking about what his Devil Fruit ability was after he was released from the sea stone handcuffs.

Given the unique characteristics of the One Piece world, Moria, who has been watching the anime for a long time, is still very much looking forward to his Devil Fruit ability.

"Ideally, it should be a powerful ability!" Moria thought with anticipation.

what!

They're back so quickly. It seems the Beasts Pirates are very efficient.

Little Luo Luo is back.

Clang!

The cell door opened, and Moria, looking expectant, first saw the iron whip in the henchman's hand, then Moria's dark face, and finally...

clap clap clap!

After the henchmen entered, they lashed Moria with their whips.

"You son of a bitch!!"

"Holy shit"

"Didn't I already pledge allegiance to Kaido?"

"Damn it, you're still hitting me!"

Moria was weakened by the effects of the seastone and could not dodge, so he could only passively endure the whipping of the minions.

With each lash, a bloody welt would appear on Moria's body.

The physical pain he experienced was beyond his comprehension and perception; it was something a transmigrator raised in a harmonious society could not bear.

"I must kill this bastard!" The extreme pain caused Moria's eyes to bulge and stare intently at the little minions, his whites bloodshot, like a hungry ghost emerging from hell.

He swore that in his twenty-five or twenty-six years of life, he had never felt such a strong urge to kill.

clap clap clap!

The sound of whipping continued until Moria's body curled up and went numb, and he almost fainted.

Pooh!

The henchman shook his slightly sore right hand, put away the iron whip, spat water at Li Yang, and turned to close the cell door.

Moria remained motionless!

"Gecko Moria, stop trying to be clever. You're the kind of guy who cares about his comrades. Your comrades were wiped out just yesterday, and today you're already siding with Lord Kaido."

Do you think everyone is a fool?

“Accept your forced labor reform properly and stop thinking about feigning allegiance while actually trying to escape.”

"When you truly submit, we will naturally let you join our Beasts Pirates!"

After the little lackey finished speaking, he had already walked outside.

"grass!"

Moria, huddled in the corner, twitched at the corner of his mouth. He had no idea he'd transmigrated into Gecko Moria. He was still the Gecko Moria who deeply cared about his former comrades; otherwise, if he had any common sense, he wouldn't have immediately sided with Kaido.

But now that things have come to this, he doesn't want to rely on them anymore.

Moria tilted his head and looked at the figure outside the cell door, a cold glint flashing in his blood-stained eyes.

"From this day forward, I am Gecko Moria, the Great Pirate Gecko Moria!" At this moment, Moria no longer had the peaceful mindset he had in his previous life.

The pain gradually returning to his body from the numbness made Moria realize that this was a world where people killed each other at the slightest provocation, and where strength was the law, the truth, and the justice.

He had to live, he absolutely had to live, and he had to kill that little brat.

One month later!

clap clap clap!

In the dimly lit cell, the henchman lashed out with his iron whip at Moria, who was curled up in the corner, until Moria was as lifeless as a corpse.

"Didn't I tell you? Stop treating us like fools."

"Don't mention joining Lord Kaido again, or I'll beat you every time you do."

Pooh!

After spitting on Moria again, the henchman closed the cell door and left, satisfied.

Moria, who was standing in the corner, slowly opened his eyes after the henchmen left. His eyes, stained with blood, were filled with hatred that was almost tangible.

For the past month, he's been getting whipped whether he says he's surrendering to Kaido or not; he's going to get whipped no matter what.

In short, that little minion would whip Moria whenever he was in a bad mood.

Fortunately, Moria's physical constitution was still intact, and he wasn't crippled. However, the pain from the whipping was truly excruciating, a terrifying agony that seemed to penetrate to the bone.

And so, Moriah lived in misery every day.

A year later, Moria was almost immune to pain, but he still pretended to be numb and pain-free each time.

At these times, the little minions would stop, and Moria would get a chance to catch his breath.

In the time that followed, Moria used the Shadow-Shadow Fruit's power to the fullest. Although he couldn't use it because of the Seastone, he didn't give up. He used every spare moment of the day to communicate and use the fruit's power.
