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

Deron, who is nearly six meters tall, punched the mature woman's crossed hands in front of her face. The terrifying force caused the surrounding space to distort slightly.

Boom!

Unsurprisingly, the mature woman was no match for Delon. She was punched into Moria's Shadow Waterfall, the immense force sending her straight through the waterfall and landing right in front of her former Pleasure Street shop, creating a large crater in the ground.

shhhhhh!

Before the dust could settle, Moria had a thought, and a dozen shadow spears covered in Armament Haki shot around the ground like compressed springs, heading straight for the mature woman in the crater.

Puff puff!

Her domineering aura was shattered by Delong, and the heavily injured mature woman was powerless to resist. She was pierced through the heart by the Shadow Spear and died without any suspense.

bump!

At that moment, Delon also fell from the sky and stood opposite Moria.

The two just now had a series of perfectly coordinated plays, at least that's what Deron thought.

Therefore, his gaze toward Moria became even more intense.

Moria's chrysanthemum tightened at that intense gaze, and she took a few steps back warily.

Delon didn't pay any attention, glanced at the mature woman and the burly man in black, and finally smiled at Moria, saying, "They're yours now too. You can turn them into zombies." There was even a hint of anticipation in his voice!

"Thank you!"

Moria was somewhat surprised, but smiled and naturally wouldn't refuse.

He immediately took action, assimilating and transforming the burly man in black into a shadow servant, after all, he was also a powerful individual whose entire body was covered in Armament Haki.

As for the mature woman, Moria chose to devour shadows. The Life Return technique from the Six Powers is the perfect move for cosmetic surgery. With the mature woman's strength, she should be able to do it.

Although Moria doesn't care about appearance, he doesn't like always having a bat-like face. His requirements aren't high; he just needs to be a little bit more handsome than Pan An.

One minute later!

With everything completed, Moria's lips curled into a slight smile; he had obtained the technique of returning life as he had wished.

Touching his face, Moria would have loved to try out the life-saving cosmetic surgery immediately if circumstances allowed.

Over here, Delong, seeing only the burly man in black transformed into a shadow servant, was somewhat puzzled.

"You can't create zombies 100% of the time?" Deron asked, frowning.

This is crucial; if it's not 100% accurate, the effect of the Shadow Servant will be greatly reduced.

"This isn't a zombie, it's a shadow servant!"

Instead of answering Delon's question, Moria corrected his use of the term "Shadow Servant".

Moriah

A cold glint flashed in Deron's eyes. Moria's reaction and tone seemed a little too calm in the face of his questioning, which was not normal.

But he wasn't going to delve into it now. Instead, he invited, "Join our John Pirates, Moria."

"Join us, and neither the World Government nor Kaido will target you anymore."

"With your Shadow Servants ability and the top combat power of our John Pirates, the entire situation in the New World will change instantly. Only Whitebeard can be our opponent."

"At that time, after a few more years of development, the next man to become the Pirate King will definitely be Captain John."

Delong became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes filled with images of a glorious future.

At that moment, it seemed as if the throne of the Pirate King was something they could instantly obtain if Moria agreed.

Moria maintained a polite smile and quietly watched Deron without saying a word.

He was not interested in men who would become "Pirate King Roger," and even kept his distance from men with such terrifying ideas.

Cough!

After enjoying himself for a while, Deron was taken aback when he saw that Moria had no expression, and then returned to normal.

"How about it?"

"Moria!"

Deron extended his right hand to Moria and invited him again, "Become one of our non-Pirate King's allies!"

do not!

I don't want to be the Pirate King's man or his companion; I just want to be myself.

Moria shook his head inwardly in refusal, but outwardly nodded and smiled, "Okay!"

But before Deron could get excited, Moria shook his head and said, "If you're stronger than me, joining you isn't out of the question, otherwise..."

Before he could finish speaking, Deron already understood Moria's meaning.

The strong will not submit to the weak; it's that simple.

"To truly convince you, you and all your shadow servants will come at me together."

Delong spread his hands and said confidently, "In short, use all your strength. Don't even talk about defeating me. As long as you can make me bleed a little, I'll consider it a win, and I'll turn around and leave."

Ha ha!

Moria was all smiles on the surface, but what was he really thinking?

Take Delon's boasting with a grain of salt. Today, Moria only has one option: to submit to the John Pirates. Everything else is a joke.

However, Moria didn't care. In any case, the ten thousand shadow servants he had just withdrawn had already left the town by boat, and he could leave whenever he wanted.

Delon didn't know that Moria could switch places with his shadow servants. No one knew about this ability yet; they only knew that Moria could switch places with his shadow.

This is why Moria was able to remain calm at this moment!

So, let's try to kill this guy first, and if that doesn't work, then we'll leave.

Thinking of this, Moria smiled at Delon and said, "Alright! Since that's the case, let's have a match. If you're really as strong as you say, joining you wouldn't be bad."

Haha!

Upon hearing this, Delon laughed heartily, beckoned to Moria, and said confidently, "Come on, my companion, Gecko Moria!"

Chapter 16 Ultimate Move: "The Movie Emperor"

The bright moon hangs high!

Under the pure white moonlight, the small town, with only Moria, Delon, and a few henchmen remaining, was unusually quiet.

On the dilapidated street, Deron looked at Moria across the crater with a relaxed expression, showing no intention of making the first move.

"This means you want to completely subdue me, doesn't it?"

Seeing Deron's attitude, Moria understood that he was being shown absolute power and dominance, and that Moria wanted him to completely submit.

However, Moria did not rush to take action, but instead quickly considered a countermeasure in his mind.

"This guy must have a very strong domineering aura, and he must be very fast too."

"Otherwise, the mature woman and the burly man in black, both proficient in the Six Styles, wouldn't have been able to dodge the attack and be forced back."

"Therefore, we cannot confront him head-on; we must entangle and trap him to have a chance to kill him."

Moria's gaze flickered as he looked at Deron; he was very interested in Deron's powerful physique and domineering aura.

If Moria could devour Delon's shadow before attempting to steal Barrett, his strength would increase significantly, greatly enhancing his chances of successfully stealing Barrett.

Of course, that's on the condition that you can kill Delon!

"What! You're too scared to make a move!"

Deron gave him a disdainful look. The John Pirates wanted a companion who could stay with them to the end, not a piece of trash who didn't even have the courage to lay a hand on him.

Even if you join such a useless group, you won't go far and will be easily killed in future battles.

"Here it comes!"

"Shadow Stream Covers the Earth!"

Moria smiled dismissively at Deron's sarcasm, and with a thought, manipulated all the shadows to quickly cover the ground within a radius of one kilometer.

Soon, a dark shadow appeared beneath Deron's feet!

"Is this your attack?"

"Laying flooring?"

Deron didn't understand Moria's move and made a sarcastic remark.

"Go ahead and lay your mother's floor! Your whole family can lay flooring!"

Moria's face darkened. After cursing under his breath, a thought struck him. Since this guy wasn't planning on defending himself, there was no need for him to hold back.

Thinking of this, Moria directly controlled the shadow to converge on Deron, and Deron did not resist.

Soon, a shadow sphere with a diameter of fifty meters appeared in the town.

"This guy is really overconfident!"

Moria retreated to the edge of the shadow sphere and smiled. After sensing that Deron was already enveloped in the center of the shadow sphere, he thought to himself: "Shadow Stream Blast!"

Instantly!

The entire shadow, under Moria's control, pressed towards Delon, the flowing shadow even burrowing into his ears, anus, nose, mouth, and other places that could enter his body.

"Your Armament Haki is very strong, so I'll attack your internal organs directly. You can't possibly cover your internal organs with Armament Haki, can you?" Moria thought to himself.

This was his strategy. He originally planned to first use Shadow Flow to expand the area, then let the shadows flow backward to sweep across the land, leaving Deron with nowhere to escape, and finally trapping Deron.

Unexpectedly, Deron didn't intend to dodge and went straight for the fight, which Moria liked.

"Um"

"This is fucking awesome!"

Moria was thinking of taking down Delon when he realized that the guy's Armament Haki had completely blocked his anus and other areas, leaving no room for the shadow to penetrate.

And

A force emanated from the shadow; Moria could feel it being stretched out by something.

It's very hard!

This was Moria's strongest feeling.
