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

But

The attacks from Shadow Servants Victor and Onig just now completely shattered the Armament Haki on the pirate ship that was killed.

This was a decisive, powerful attack, not a sneak attack!

That means that if Shadow Servant Onig and Victor gang up on one of them, they won't be able to withstand it.

Since everyone's strength is about the same, even the strongest of the remaining four, Vox, is only slightly stronger because of his enhanced physical body as a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user. In essence, everyone's Haki is about the same, and none of them can withstand the attack of Viktor, whom they mistakenly identified as Moria.

"You all, gather around me!"

"quick!"

Realizing his perilous situation in an instant, Vox roared at the other three pirate captains.

The other three pirate captains naturally understood their current dangerous situation.

Fortunately, all three of them were very close to Vox. The moment they heard Vox's words, they each unleashed their power, temporarily breaking through the Shadow Servant's encirclement, and accelerated to reach Vox's side.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Boom!

boom!

Boom!

The moment the four pirate captains reunited, the Shadow Servants' attack came like a tidal wave.

But the four of them seemed to have their teamwork improved instantly under the threat of life.

The four's coordinated attacks prevented the shadow servants from getting close at all.

Shadow Servant Onig also attempted to break through, but was instantly knocked away by Vox. Victor had no chance and did not make a move, hiding behind the many Shadow Servants.

Therefore, the four pirate captains, including Vox, had not yet discovered the identity of Shadow Servant Victor and still thought it was Moria.

So Victor and Onig followed Moria's instructions and fought their way toward the port. The four pirate captains, including Vox, didn't notice anything amiss, or rather, they didn't have time to notice anything amiss.

Although they defended against the siege of countless shadow servants flawlessly, they also had to be wary of a sneak attack from their so-called "Moria".

Therefore, they were highly focused at the moment and had no time to perceive any difference in the aura of the Shadow Servant Victor.

"Ten seconds left!"

Moria smiled victoriously.

And just then!

More and more people are emerging from the shops and taverns in the entertainment district, alerted by the battle.

Finally, someone noticed something was wrong!

Sniff!

At the entrance of an entertainment venue, a man who looked somewhat drunk, with an unusually protruding nose and mouth, sniffed the air with his nose, and then his expression changed slightly.

With a sudden change, he activated his Zoan-type Devil Fruit ability, transforming into a wild dog, and then sniffed the air again.

"This is the scent of blood!!" The man's face immediately turned terrified.

According to his sense of smell, the entire pirate town, except for the central area, was filled with a faint blood mist. It wasn't thick, but there was a lot of it.

Looking towards the port, it was completely silent. Apart from the battle between countless shadow servants and the four pirate captains, there was no one else to be seen.

His companions, except for those who stayed on the ship, slept in the hotels near the port.

Thinking about this, the man had a bad feeling.

"Chuan Gou, Pei Gou, you absolutely mustn't get into trouble!"

Anxious, the man didn't deactivate his Devil Fruit powers, remaining in his wild dog form as he frantically ran towards the port.

"Has that guy gone mad?"

The others were surprised and puzzled when they saw the man turn into a wild dog and run away.

However, not everyone was like that. Some people were more clear-headed. At this moment, they looked towards the port, where there was no one except for the Shadow Servant and Victor, whom they also regarded as Moria's Shadow Servant.

They also began to have some ominous premonitions.

"Don't you think the fighting has gone on for quite a while now? Why is it so quiet over there?"

"I didn't hear a single sound from anyone else!"

Someone looked towards the port and voiced everyone's question.

Indeed, the battle had been going on for so long and had been quite noisy; it's impossible that everyone was asleep and couldn't hear it.

But the truth is, apart from the Shadow Servant and the besieged pirate captain, there was no one else there. Everything was eerily quiet.

Could it be that...?

Everyone's expression changed, then they shook their heads, thinking that even if Moria was crazy, he wouldn't kill everyone.

After all, there are at least tens of thousands of people over there, including more than ten pirate captains with a combined net worth of over 200 million Berries.

Moreover, given Moria's strength, it's impossible for him to deal with so many powerful individuals all at once.

"That's impossible. They're just sleeping a little too deeply."

"Or they've gone somewhere else to hide!"

The people were unwilling to believe their own guesses and quickly dismissed them in their minds.

"Don't you guys think that shadowy figure who ambushed Bloodhand Hank with Moria just now looks a bit like Onig?"

Another speculation was heard, and everyone's expression changed again. Then they heard, "I heard that everyone on the Onig ship except for a girl was killed, but no bodies have been found."

Do you think it's possible?

Could it be that Moria has already turned them into one of those shadow monsters? The answer was clear in everyone's minds.

At the same time, they also remembered Moria's Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability, which seemed to allow him to create zombies using other people's shadows.

Although Shadow Servant doesn't look like a zombie, it's not impossible that he is!

"grass!"

"Moria!!"

The moment they understood the connection between these details, the four pirate captains, who had been intoxicated, suddenly became clear-headed and, after a roar, all ran towards the port.

Some of their crew members were in the hotel, and some were on the ship, but they were also terrified when they saw the countless shadowy figures.

So many shadowy figures, if they are all made from human shadows, who the hell knows if their companions are among them?

They need to go and check quickly. If everything is alright, they should take their companions away. Otherwise, who knows what that madman Moria might do?

But what if Moria really killed their comrades?

"That"

"No doubt about it, Moria must die!"

At this moment, the four pirate captains heading towards the port all felt heavy-hearted, their eyes flashing with cold light, and they made a silent resolution.

at the same time!

The guards from Pleasure Street, as well as the guards from the dark forces on night duty, also went to check the hotels and restaurants.

Like those pirate captains, they didn't have high hopes for the staff running the inns and hotels.

But I still need to confirm it in person before I can make a decision.

Should they kill Moria, or pretend they don't know anything?

Not long after!

The person who went to confirm returned and arrived at the entrance of the largest entertainment store on Entertainment Street, where a graceful and elegant woman was waiting.

"Big sister, everyone has disappeared, and there is only some blood left at the scene."

"Just like those people who disappeared, like Onig!"

After the person who confirmed it finished speaking, he glanced at the shadow servants surrounding the four-person ship, his meaning self-evident.

"Should we kill him?"

Behind the mature woman, a burly bodyguard in a black suit stepped forward to inquire, while his sharp gaze swept towards Onig and the other shadow servants.

"Need not!"

The mature woman turned her head to look at the tallest house in the pirate town, shook her head, and smiled.

"This is not our obligation; we are only responsible for running the business here."

"It's that person's pirate crew protecting this place. I believe Lord Akabone Toron, who is stationed here, will give us an explanation."

After hearing the mature woman's words, the guards of the dark forces also quieted down, coldly watching the final struggles of the four pirate captains in the distance.

That's right!

The four Vox members were making their last stand.

Because Moria had completely transformed those three hundred-plus people into shadow servants, and then they all joined the operation to encircle and kill the four.

Chapter 12 The Spying from John's Pirate Crew

"Not going to make a move?"

"Can't you see that I've killed almost everyone in the town?"

Sensing that neither the people in the entertainment district nor the John Pirates showed any signs of making a move, Moria was surprised and suppressed his urge to attack.

To be honest, tonight's assassination plan was actually quite crude, and Moria was already quite surprised that it had come to this point.

Now that things have escalated to this point, and no one has yet taken action against him, Moria quickly realized that someone was allowing him to commit such killings.

It turned out to be like this

Then he doesn't need to rush to attack. He can take them one by one and first turn the two pirate captains he just killed into shadow clones.

"However," Moria chuckled, then telepathically instructed his shadow servants, "Kill three more, and wait for my orders to kill the rest."

clank!

boom!
