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

Boom!

With the addition of over three hundred powerful shadow servants, including more than a dozen pirate captains with bounties exceeding two hundred million Berries, the intensity of the battle instantly increased several levels.

Upon receiving Moria's order, all the shadow servants rushed forward recklessly.

Of the four pirate captains besieged by the Shadow Servants, three were instantly killed, leaving only the werewolf Vox to survive thanks to the powerful vitality of his Zoan-type Devil Fruit ability.

Of course, Moria had the Shadows deliberately hold back, otherwise even Vox wouldn't have been able to stop them.

Subsequently, upon learning of their companions' deaths, the five pirate captains, besieged by the Shadow Servants, were forced to join the battle, thus relieving Vox of much of the pressure.

The battlefield was divided into six areas!

At this point, the Shadow Servants obeyed Moria's orders, maintaining a high-intensity siege while injuring but not killing.

With the remaining six pirate captains, all of whom were quite strong, the battle was temporarily at a stalemate, just as Moria had intended.

"I don't know if we can keep it a secret," Moria chuckled casually. "But it doesn't matter anyway. As long as he doesn't make a move now, he's already won."

After saying this, Moria began to impersonate the five dead pirate captains.

at this time.

Not far from Moria, on the large terrace of the town's tallest building.

A middle-aged man, five meters tall and with a robust and large build but little flesh on his body, stood in front of the terrace, his eyes flashing with cold light, quietly watching the battle between the shadow servants and the pirate captains in the distance.

"What a terrifying ability to amass troops! Moria, we've been waiting for you for ages!"

The middle-aged man smiled and looked at Moria's location, his eyes filled with anticipation.

They had already noticed Moria the moment he entered the New World.

Before they could take any action, they heard the news that Moria had been wiped out after challenging Kaido, and they stopped paying attention after that.

When Moria heard the news again, he himself came to Moria's doorstep.

Tatata!

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, and a henchman ran up behind the middle-aged man, panting, "Boss Delong, it's just been confirmed. Apart from the people in Pleasure Street and the tavern, everyone else has been killed by Moria."

"us"

"I know, don't worry about it!"

The middle-aged man, Delong, waved his hand to interrupt, saying indifferently, "Let him make a scene. He's a companion, it's good for him to vent."

companion?

So, Boss Delon wanted to recruit Moria! The henchman looked enlightened.

"That's truly a terrifying ability!"

Delong sighed, his eyes growing increasingly fervent, his burning gaze lingering on the countless shadow servants.

Ever since they learned that Moria had escaped from Kaido, the John Pirates have been searching for him.

Unexpectedly, Moria himself came to this pirate town that the John Pirates and the dark forces had jointly established.

"This must be the guidance of fate. With Moria's abilities, our forces will catch up with or even surpass Kaido and Charlotte Linlin."

"At that time, in the entire New World, only Whitebeard will be able to fight us."

Deron muttered to himself, his vision remaining at the level of Whitebeard from beginning to end.

What Kaido?

During the time of Lockes, he was merely an apprentice sailor.

Back then, on the Rocks Pirates, Captain John's strength was comparable to that of Whitebeard and Shiki, and Charlotte Linlin was not as strong as him, ranking only after him.

But

Ugh!

Thinking about the development of Whitebeard and Captain John after the Rocks Pirates disbanded, Deron gave a wry smile and sighed like an old father.

Captain John, who was once on par with Whitebeard and Shiki during the Rocks Pirates era, quickly fell behind in later developments.

After the Rocks era, the world of One Piece quickly entered the era of the three legendary pirates: Whitebeard, Shiki, and Roger.

Then, after finally outlasting Roger, Shiki recklessly retired, and Red Earl was captured, leaving only Whitebeard.

Kaido, the apprentice crew member he once looked down upon, and Charlotte Linlin have risen again.

In terms of strength, John is not much different from Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, and may even be a little stronger.

However, the troop strength is far too lacking!

Kaido has a addiction to the King's Heart, which continuously supplies him with troops, and over the years he has accumulated a massive army.

Charlotte Linlin has given birth to many children, who have now grown up and formed a family bond, subduing a large number of pirates. Coupled with the Soul-Soul Fruit's ability to generate troops, the future Yonko Big Mom is already taking shape.

But the John Pirates are in a much worse situation!

Because Captain John was so obsessed with treasure, anyone who joined his pirate crew had to hand over any treasure they stole, or they would die.

To think that the treasure they had worked so hard to steal was now being handed over. That was one thing, after all, they were living under someone else's roof and paying some protection money was understandable, but to hand it all over was going too far.

The reason everyone wants to become the Pirate King is because the Pirate King possesses everything in the world: treasure, fame, and power.

Look how important the treasure is, yet Captain John only knows how to make the horses run, not fatten them up.

This is going to kill these pirates!

Over time, fewer and fewer pirates were willing to join John's Pirates, while the pirate crews under John's Pirates left one after another and joined Kaido and Charlotte Linlin's crews.

As a result, the John Pirates clashed frequently with the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, but the outcome was astonishing.

Surprisingly, the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates had the advantage. With the top-tier fighters unable to determine a winner, the mid-to-lower-tier fighters became the key to victory.

The John Pirates, whose crews had virtually no other pirate crews joining them, were no match for them. As time went on, the John Pirates' territory shrank and their manpower dwindled.

So much so that now, even the pirate town formed with the forces of darkness needs to be guarded by Delon, the vice-captain of the John Pirates.

There's no way around it. Without Delon guarding the area, the John Pirates' deterrent power is clearly insufficient for those arrogant pirates who don't know their own limitations. They all know they're outnumbered, and as long as they don't get cornered, they can basically rob a bunch of pirates and leave safely.

Therefore, the John Pirates have always been hampered by insufficient manpower, preventing them from expanding their territory.

Captain John was powerful and famous, but he couldn't compare to Whitebeard.

But now, everything is about to change!

Based on what Deron is seeing now, among Moria's shadow servants, not only are there many of them, but many of them are also very powerful, with some reaching the level of a Navy Rear Admiral or higher.

This pleased Delong greatly, as it provided him with both mid- and lower-level combat power, and the kind that wouldn't betray him.

Of course, Deron understood that all of this was contingent on Moria being completely subdued and brought under his control.

Delong is very confident about this.

In fact, when Moria assimilated and transformed more than 30,000 people into shadow servants and launched the second attack, Deron's Observation Haki had already sensed that Moria was behind it, and he also sensed the shadow servants.

However, Delon, who originally wanted to obtain Moria's ability to mass-produce troops, did not stop him. This was both to test the strength of the Shadow Servant and to completely subdue Moria. He let Moria run wild.

As for the losses suffered by the dark forces during this process, Delon didn't care. As long as he could subdue Moria, everything was worth it.

Or rather, Moria's ability to act as a shadow servant warrants Delon's treatment of him.

"So you're really not going to make a move!"

Moria looked strange as he stood up. At this moment, his Shadow Servant transformation was complete, and the Shadow Legion gained five more powerful individuals who could cover their entire bodies with Armament Haki.

He just couldn't quite understand the John Pirates who were guarding this place.

This wasn't just provocation; it was a blatant humiliation of the John Pirates, and no one intervened to stop him.

After that, this pirate town was essentially ruined.

Forehead!

Just as he was thinking this, Moria suddenly stopped, looked around, and realized that he had almost killed everyone. Whether he made a move or not, this pirate town was doomed.

Why think so much about it!

Anyway, he didn't intend to let those members of the John Pirates go; he killed them all.

"Kill them all!"

Moria decisively gave the order, and the Shadows, abandoning their previous leniency, swarmed forward.

At the same time, Moria manipulated his shadow to gather his Armament Haki, transforming it into a shadow spear that pierced the six pirate captains who were still struggling to hold on.

"Am I going to die?!"

The intensity of the attack in that instant far exceeded the limits that the six pirate captains could withstand.

At this moment, they sensed that their journey had come to an end, and that there would be no more ships to carry them in the future.

"Moria!"

"I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

"Is this the end of my dream?!"

"Moria!!!"

With the final, unwilling roars of the six pirate captains, Moria's Shadow Spear pierced their hearts with a "zzzzzz" sound.

The shadow servants then attacked the six pirate captains.

puff!

puff!

!

Six heavy thuds echoed as the twenty-eight pirate captains and their crews who had come to this pirate town were all killed.

However, no one paid any attention to Moria!

"Aren't you going to make a move?!"

Moria was completely shocked this time. Didn't the John Pirates realize that he was just stalling for time? Now that everyone else had been killed, no one had come looking for him.

"Is he afraid?!"
