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

Two shadowy blades were aimed directly at each person's head and heart.

"Kill!" Moria shouted in a low voice, his mind racing.

Zzzzzzzzzzz!

At that moment, countless shadow blades shot down simultaneously. As expected, in an instant, more than 40,000 of the more than 50,000 people who were asleep were killed by the shadow blades that pierced their heads and hearts.

These dead people were all those Moria chose to attack.

In his perception, these people did not possess strong enough auras, and at least their reaction to danger was not very strong.

That's the safest approach; otherwise, if you choose something too powerful, you might get discovered before you even kill it.

It wouldn't be good if he came looking for trouble when he transformed into a shadow servant.

Like now, these people died without any struggle.

He didn't even open his eyes. Unlike someone whose heart is pierced and who still retains consciousness, someone whose brain is pierced dies almost instantly, losing consciousness and dying without causing Moria any trouble.

After killing these people, Moria chose more than 30,000 people whose auras were slightly stronger to transform into shadow servants, while the other 10,000 people devoured the shadows and transformed into life energy.

After all, simultaneously creating 30,000 shadow servants requires an enormous amount of physical strength, necessitating the replenishment of life energy.

At the same time, Moria chose not to absorb the combat instincts and skill insights of these ten thousand people.

This is one of the strengths of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit after its power is awakened: it allows for selective absorption.

Otherwise, if the combat skills and instincts of ten thousand people were to suddenly enter his mind, it could break his spirit, or even if it didn't, it would still be very dangerous.

Just like Gecko Moria's Shadow Gathering Ground in the original work, it devoured too many shadows at once. Although it gained the power to almost shatter a small island with a single punch, it was also easy for someone to be knocked unconscious by a single blow.

The reason is that the combat skills and instincts of those who have been subjected to too many shadows are too much for their minds and bodies to handle.

In short, once you have too much of these combat skills and instincts, they become mental garbage.

In the quiet of the night, in a corner of the pirate town, Moria quietly controlled the shadows, devouring the shadows of ten thousand people and turning them into life energy, while assimilating and transforming the shadows into shadow servants.

The shadow, having been assimilated and modified, possesses not only its own combat skills and instincts, but also, due to being assimilated and modified by Moria's shadow, a body with the same toughness and sharpness as the Black Blade Shusui.

Its attack and defense are much stronger than those of ordinary henchmen.

This is also the source of Moria's confidence in slaughtering the entire pirate town.

That's right!

Moria planned to kill everyone in the entire pirate town, including the twenty-eight pirate captains gathered in the town, as well as a crew member who was suspected to be Captain John's companion stationed in the pirate town.

He wanted to turn these people into shadow servants and fill his shadow army, increasing his chances of successfully taking Barrett from the Navy.

Chapter 10 The Roar of the Pirate Captains

Three minutes later!

Whoosh!

call!

Moria leaned against the wall, panting heavily. The mental strain of assimilating and transforming the shadows of more than 30,000 people into shadow servants was immense.

Fortunately, we won't need as many shadow servants anymore.

"Then let's start attacking those pirate captains and officers, as well as those with powerful auras!"

Without resting, after catching his breath, Moria this time only made his shadow float around the pirate captains.

Based on the strength of the auras he sensed, Moria had his powerful shadow servants lead hundreds of shadow servants to lurk in the shadows around those with powerful auras.

If the shadow assassination fails, then they will force their way out. The shadow servants will swarm out from the shadows, relying on their seemingly fearless bodies, and attack directly without defense. Few should be able to withstand them.

quickly!

Ten seconds!

With everything prepared, a cruel glint flashed in Moria's eyes as he growled, "Kill!"

Zzzzzzzzzzz!

In an instant, of the remaining 10,000 sleeping people, only a little over 300 reacted in time and blocked the shadow blade's thrust; the rest were pierced through the heart and brain and died.

Of the more than 300 survivors, only six pirate captains managed to hold off the Shadow Servants' attack, break out of the encirclement, and reach the town streets or rooftops.

The others were unable to withstand the Shadow Servant's attack and were killed.

"Surround and kill them!" Moria coldly ordered.

Thirty thousand shadow servants transformed into six black torrents, instantly surging towards the six surviving pirate captains and surrounding and killing them.

Moria quickly transformed into the powerful figures, the more than three hundred who could withstand the first wave of shadow blade attacks.

As for the other eight thousand people, Moria directly devoured the shadows and transformed them into life energy.

"Moria!!!"

A pirate captain who had just broken through the Shadow Servants' attack came to the street. When he saw thousands of Shadow Servants rushing towards him, his expression changed and he guessed what they were. He immediately let out a roar that echoed throughout the entire town.

"What happened?"

"It looks like there's a fight going on!"

In the bars and pubs on Pleasure Street, many of the people who were still somewhat sober heard the commotion and came out of their rooms to the outside.

"That's the werewolf Vox!"

"And Bloodhand Hank!"

"Who are the others?"

Many people saw that the five-meter-tall figure transformed into a werewolf in the direction of the port was Vox, with a bounty of 310 million Berries.

The burly man wielding the blood-red gauntlet was Hank, with a bounty of 290 million Berries.

As well as the other figures who were being attacked by the shadow servants, everyone who saw this scene felt a tremor in their hearts, and their drunkenness sobered up considerably.

"Those shadowy things seem to be Moria's abilities!"

"It's Moria's ability. I saw him use it at the restaurant during the day."

Someone immediately recognized the shadow servants; they were all similar to Viktor, the shadow servant Moria had used to pay his bill earlier that day.

"so much!!!"

"It must be at least tens of thousands!"

Those who emerged were inexplicably shocked as they looked at the countless shadow servants who surrounded the six pirate captains like ants.

I have gained some new insights into Moria's strength!

just

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening and looked surprised and confused.

"No"

"Why did Moria get into a fight with those guys?"

"Maybe he's drunk."

"Maybe they're just bored out of their minds."

"I don't know, Moria might have some kind of mental problem."

A group of people, indifferent to the situation, commented on the six pirate captains being besieged by the Shadow Servants and Moria, who was nowhere to be found, without showing any intention of intervening.

For them, as long as they don't mess with them, nobody cares how you fight them.

They probably secretly wished that Moria and the six pirate captains were all killed, so that they would have fewer competitors for the Pirate King's throne.

Click!

Click!

Suddenly, a burst of flashes went off. It turned out to be some intelligence and news gathering personnel who were still active. They took out their Den Den Mushi cameras and started taking pictures like crazy. In order to get the first clear photos, they even moved closer to the center of the battlefield.

"Shocking! The man who escaped from prison is incredibly powerful!"

"Shocking! A man trained and developed by Kaido actually fought six opponents single-handedly!"

"Shocking! The great pirate Gecko Moria meets with six men late at night! Is this a display of overwhelming power or a sign of moral depravity?!"

At this moment, the intelligence and news gatherers who were running towards the battle positions of the six pirate captains had already pre-booked tomorrow's sensational headlines for Moria's battle.

"I really don't know how to live or die!"

Sensing the movements of these guys with Den Den Mushi cameras, Moria shook his head inwardly.

"We can't afford to lose control now!"

A cold glint flashed in Moria's eyes, and with a thought, his shadow tentacles silently awaited the arrival of these suicidal fools.

These intelligence and news gatherers were perhaps too focused on taking pictures to notice the unusual changes in the shadows around them.

Although Moria was deliberately hiding it, a closer look still reveals that the surrounding shadows have transformed into tentacles.

All I can say is that they were destined to die!

Zizizizi!

Once these intelligence agents were a little away from the entertainment district and taverns, Moria immediately manipulated his shadow to turn into a shadow gun and kill them, so as not to cause trouble for himself.

clank!

Boom!

Boom!

The roar of battle grew more intense. The six pirate captains, having survived two waves of attacks, were undoubtedly strong.

Whether using swords, fists, or Devil Fruit abilities, they could barely surround a single person even when thousands of shadow servants attacked them.

The shadow servants' power was too weak for these six pirate captains; they could basically be sent flying with a single punch.

It was the Shadow Servants' fearless fighting style that trapped the six pirate captains for a time.

At this moment, the six pirate captains were furious, furious that Moria had killed their crew.

"Moria, you bastard, you ambushed me and killed my comrade!"

"Unforgivable!"
