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

"I think so!"

Haha.

Moria suddenly chuckled self-deprecatingly, never expecting that his strength had reached the point where he could intimidate others into immobility.

Of course, that's impossible. Moria knew that. All I can say is that someone is still letting the game slide.

Ah!

Since that's the case, let's continue by turning the last six pirate captains into their shadow forms as well. Moria thought to himself.

He then ordered his shadow servants to stop and protect him, waiting for him to transform into the last six pirate captains.

One minute later!

No one came to stop Moria, and the six newly appointed pirate captains stood beside him.

"The initial goal has been basically achieved!"

"The quantity and quality of the shadow servants are basically sufficient!"

"Next up are the remaining people."

Moria glanced at the town center with a cold look in his eyes, and sneered inwardly. Did these guys think they would let them go by remaining silent and not making a move?

"How naive!"

Since his arrival in this world, Moria had learned what kind of world it was after failing to join Kaido and being whipped for three years.

There is no right or wrong here, only strength and weakness!

Weakness is the original sin. As Luo said, the weak do not even have the right to choose death.

Therefore, Moria has no mercy in order to become stronger, and besides, there are no good people here, just a group of people who are prepared to be killed.

Moria naturally had no psychological burden!

"Go! Kill the rest of them!"

Moria gave the order, then stepped out of the corner and onto the street, heading towards the Pleasure Street.

At the same time, the Shadow Legion, formed by the gathering of Shadow Servants, instantly teleported behind Moria and charged towards the central area.

"Is that guy trying to kill us all?"

In front of the Happy Street store, the mature woman frowned, looking at Moria approaching and the dark shadow legion surging in, her heart heavy.

She then turned to look at the tallest building, but there was still no movement. The older woman's face darkened, and she shouted, "Lord Delong, aren't you going to make a move?"

Quiet!

No response!

The tallest building seemed deserted, but the mature woman, with her domineering presence, clearly sensed a powerful aura emanating from it.

That was an existence that even she feared!

"If you don't make a move, it means the cooperation between the underground forces and the John Pirates has come to an end!"

After uttering those cold words, the mature woman quietly awaited Delong's response.

"and many more!"

In the distance, Moria suddenly stopped his shadow servants and watched the scene with interest, not in a hurry to make a move.

"It seems like there's some internal strife going on!"

Moriah almost laughed. Sure enough, these days, it's better to rely on yourself than on others.

"Big sister, why don't we take care of Moria?"

"no need!"

A hint of worry flashed across the mature woman's eyes. She waved her hand, rejecting the suggestion from the burly man in black behind her.

The attitude of Lord Delon of the John Pirates on the top floor sent a chill down her spine; she sensed something was amiss.

"This place is no place to stay any longer, let's leave immediately!"

The mature woman said something with a serious expression, and then prepared to leave with her people.

"Too late to leave!"

At this moment, Moria sneered, and with a thought, the Shadow Legion used shadow teleportation to surround the entire Pleasure Street and the location of the tavern.

There are only two places where people are alive now!

The tallest building is also in the entertainment district, but Moria specifically had his shadow servants avoid it!

Since someone was actually letting it go, Moria naturally wouldn't refuse, just to be on the safe side, and would deal with the people in the Pleasure Quarter first.

"kill!"

Moria's expression turned cold, and he gave the order.

All the shadow servants attacked together, instantly surging towards the entertainment district like a tidal wave, killing anyone they saw, no matter who they were.

"Moria, we're just staff!"

"We are innocent!"

"Don't kill us!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

"Moria!!"

Moria watched as these people went from begging for mercy to desperately fighting back, but he remained unmoved, saying that if he killed everyone, he wouldn't care whether they were staff members or not.

Zizizi!

Those killed were all pierced through the head or heart by blades, because to leave a complete shadow, they could not be beheaded, otherwise the absorbed shadow would be discounted and the life energy would be reduced.

This could be considered a minor flaw in the Shadow-Shadow Fruit's power!

Moria didn't intervene directly; instead, he used his abilities to devour the shadows of the dead, transforming them into life energy and storing it within his own shadows.

A tidal wave of shadow servants surged forward, including quite a few powerful figures like the werewolf Vox.

The outcome was, of course, not much of a surprise.

In just a moment, of the seven or eight thousand people in Pleasure Street and the tavern, only a little over a hundred remained.

These were the black-clad men led by the mature woman. Surprisingly, they were all quite strong, and several of them could cover their entire bodies with Armament Haki.

This surprised Moria. It was one thing for a pirate captain to have such a strong one, after all, the Grand Line at this time was much more brutal than Luffy's time in the original work.

Anyone who manages to traverse the first half of the Grand Line, reach the New World, and survive.

They've all been tempered by countless battles, so their strength is by no means weak.

But Moria hadn't expected that the guards of those dark forces would be as strong as those battle-hardened pirate captains.

Chapter 14 John's Pirates' First Mate Delon

"These people are definitely not simple!" Moria took a slight step back.

If the guards are this strong, then the mature woman and the black-clad man behind her, whose aura also seems quite powerful, must be equally strong. Moria is right to be cautious.

He ordered his shadow servants to continue attacking while he hid behind them.

"Moria, how about you let us go!"

The older woman pleaded for mercy, but her tone was unusually calm. Even though the shadow servants surrounding them had already circled around seven or eight times, it was all darkness at a glance.

Among them were more than a dozen powerful shadow servants who could cover their entire bodies with Armament Haki, capable of killing the guards who were desperately defending her in less than a minute.

Even so, the mature woman remained calm, and Moria could see no panic in her eyes, only deep tranquility.

The threat from the Shadow Servants seemed to be nothing more than a drizzle to her, which piqued Moria's curiosity.

"Are these guys really part of the dark forces?"

"Everyone else is the same!"

Moria frowned as he watched from behind, secretly wondering why not only the mature woman was calm, but the other burly men in black were also completely composed.

They all seemed like cold, robotic figures, not like people from a profit-driven dark force, but more like professionally trained soldiers or assassins.

"Well, Moriah, killing us won't do you any good."

"We, the people of the dark forces, never concern ourselves with the conflicts of you pirates."

"We're just here to make money. With your abilities, if you join us in building Pirate Town, the wealth you can acquire will be beyond your wildest imagination."

Seeing that Moria didn't respond immediately, the older woman offered a few more words of advice and even tried to bring Moria into the collaboration.

"Wealth is just a number if you have enough strength."

Moria scoffed at her words, showing no interest whatsoever in the older woman's response.

In a world where the strong rule, wealth has always been linked to strength.

Having wealth but lacking strength is like being a fat sheep, waiting to be slaughtered.

What if you have the ability but not the wealth?

By slaughtering the fat sheep, one gains wealth, so Moriah never worries about money, only about whether he is strong enough.

"Kill! All of you, charge!"

After confirming once again that the guy from John's Pirates wouldn't make a move, Moria gave the order.

At the same time, he controlled the shadow to transform into countless shadow spears and attacked the black-clad guards.

shhhhhh!

Boom!

clank!

Moria's arrival instantly escalated the battle, and combined with their familiar combat style, all the Shadow Servants swarmed forward, using a relentless, human-powerful attack to utterly destroy these guys.

The remaining black-clad men from the dark forces were all quite strong, but they couldn't withstand the combined attack of all the shadow servants at this moment.

It only lasted for about ten seconds!

The shadow servants wiped out the black-clad men, leaving only the mature woman and one black-clad man who had been following behind her.
