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

"Is it domineering? Or what?"

Moria's expression turned serious. If it was Armament Haki, then what stretched out the shadow was the fluid Armament Haki "Ryuo".

In that case, it's time to run away!

With these thoughts in mind, Moria quickly gathered the twenty-eight pirate captains' shadow servants, the shadow servant Onig, as well as Victor and the black-clad giant who had just transformed into a shadow servant into his shadow space, leaving only more than 20,000 ordinary shadow servants on the side.

Teng!

Teng!

!

At this moment, sharp, pale white bone spurs suddenly began to emerge from the fifty-meter-diameter shadow sphere.

Soon, Moria's shadow dissipated, and the shadows of the buildings he controlled returned to the buildings.

Moriah's shadow returned to him, and he stopped controlling the shadows of the buildings because he was preparing to run away.

"A Devil Fruit user, and one with a bone-based ability!"

"This is the pirate version of Kimimaro!" Moria thought to himself.

At this point, the shadow sphere had disappeared, replaced by a bone sphere covered with sharp bone spurs.

Then the bone sphere changed shape and transformed back into a human form, which was Delong.

"I didn't expect your Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability to awaken. No wonder you were able to escape from Kaido."

Sensing the whereabouts of the scattered shadows, Delon guessed something. While somewhat surprised by Moria's fruit awakening, his gaze towards Moria grew even more intense.

In order to completely subdue Moria, Delon confidently declared again, "Do you have any more powerful moves? Use them all, I'll take them all!"

"Have!"

"Then bring it on, Moria!" Deron declared domineeringly.

"This is my strongest move. If you can break it, then it will be only natural for me to join you."

Moria, his eyes gleaming, smiled and shrugged, saying, "After all, this is a world where the strong rule."

"Very good!" Delon was satisfied with Moria's resolve, and beckoned with his right hand, saying, "Then let me see just how powerful your strongest move really is, Moria!"

Ha ha!

Moria gave a meaningful smile, then his expression turned serious, and he suddenly shouted at Deron Williams, "Actor!!!"

After saying that, he quickly added in his mind: "All Shadow Servants, kill him!"

boom!

More than 20,000 ordinary shadow servants surged towards Delon like a tidal wave, simultaneously blocking Moria's figure.

Taking advantage of the moment when Delon couldn't see him, Moria immediately switched places with the shadow servant who stayed by Perona's side in the back mountain and left.

Delon was taken aback by Moria's sudden shout, and then he could no longer see Moria, only sensing that Moria's aura had suddenly disappeared.

Before they could even think about it, the shadow servants swarmed forward.

He disregarded everything else, fighting the Shadow Servants while searching for Moria's location.

At the same time, he used his Observation Haki to sense Moria with all his might, only to find that Moria seemed to have disappeared.

If it weren't for the relentless attacks from the Shadow Servants, Delon would have thought Moria had escaped.

After all, Shadow Servant is Moria's Devil Fruit power, and since Shadow Servant is still fighting, Delon naturally assumed that Moria was still nearby.

It might just be because of that ultimate move that I can't sense him.

"interesting!"

"Are you trying to hide yourself and launch a sneak attack that will catch me off guard?"

Deron smiled, feeling that he understood Moria's intentions. He stood on the fifth level, so he quietly covered himself with a layer of Armament Haki.

Although I am confident in my abilities, I must act like a fighter in battle, and vigilance is the most basic requirement.

Deron won't give Moria any chance!

However, the truth is that Delon thought Moria was on the first floor, but he was actually on the tenth floor. Moria really did run away, leaving Delon to fight a group of Shadow Servants that he had abandoned.

This way!

Once Moria and Shadow Servants switched places and arrived at the back mountain, Moria immediately grabbed "Hehe" Perona with one hand, jumped onto the back of a giant shadow bat that was five meters wide, and flew off towards the island outside the town.

Meanwhile, Delon was still fighting the Shadows!

It can't really be called a battle; it was Delon slaughtering the Shadow Servants.

Without Moria's life-sustaining shadow servants, they were scattered and disappeared after being hit by Deron.

As time went by, the number of Shadow Servants dwindled, and Delon's heart grew heavier and heavier.

Until the last shadow servant was blasted away and disappeared with a single punch.

Deron was forced to accept a humiliating fact for him.

Moriah escaped from his grasp!

Moriah

Deron stood stiffly on the dilapidated street, a low murmur escaping his lips.

The moonlight stretched his shadow long. Looking at his shadow and recalling Moria's "Best Actor" move, Deron's lips twitched.

a long time!

Deron looked up at the sky and suddenly roared angrily, "Moria, how dare you play me! Next time I'll kill you!"

Chapter 17: Working Class or Superior Person?

The next day!

Around noon, on the edge of a bare, rocky islet.

On the shore, which is made up of smooth, round stones about the size of a thumb.

Moria and Perona sat on the ground, each eating their roasted meat.

Nearby, three chefs were demonstrating their culinary skills over the fire, roasting meat for the two of them.

Noisy!

Moria took a big bite of the fragrant roasted meat in his hand, while glancing at the newspaper in his other hand.

This is the news brought to us by the bird that tried to run away as soon as it saw him this morning, but was eventually killed and roasted by him.

It described what Moria did in the pirate town last night, and even revealed his Shadow Servant ability.

It is specifically noted that the Shadow Servant's strength is basically the same as when he was alive, and he can use Haki.

Now Moria knew that, unsurprisingly, for those forces eager to mass-produce troops, he could only choose either his own people or the dead; there was no third option.

"Um"

Moria suddenly frowned, and after reading one of the reports, a surge of anger rose within him.

"They even wrote down that I was going to steal Barrett's shadow."

"Holy shit!!!"

By the end, Moria was furious. If it were just about revealing his Devil Fruit ability, he wouldn't care.

But even before he made a move, everyone already knew that he wanted to seize Barrett's shadow.

"How did someone find out about my plans?" Moria couldn't understand.

Newspapers reported that he might seize Barrett after the Navy took action against her.

Although it was speculation, the report was written with an air of certainty, which, combined with Moria's ability to act as a shadow servant, made it even more convincing.

Without a doubt, anyone who reads this will believe the speculation in the report.

Hey!

So frustrating!

Moria could imagine that after reading this newspaper, the Navy would be wary of him.

This thwarted his initial plans.

According to his original plan, once Barrett was defeated, he would use more than 10,000 Shadow Soldiers to attack the ordinary marines.

Then, by constantly swapping positions with his shadow servant, he achieves an effect similar to the Flying Thunder God technique, which allows for instantaneous teleportation.

Ultimately, relying on his overwhelming strength against ordinary marines, he forced top-tier fighters like Garp to protect those ordinary marines.

He would then have powerful shadow servants like Victor take Barrett away, and then he would escape by switching places with one of the shadow servants.

He felt that the chances of success were quite high if Moria's plan was followed.

But now that the news has spread this message, the navy is on high alert, making it very difficult for Moria to succeed.

After all, the Navy isn't stupid. If they had known Moria's plans beforehand and let him take Barrett away, the Navy would have lost face big time.

"Damn it!"

"World News, is that right!"

"Once I have a free hand, I'll wipe you all out."

Moria grew angrier the more he thought about it, and as he threw the newspaper into the fire to burn it, he secretly hardened his heart.

Once he's strong enough, he'll destroy everything in this world news agency, including its mastermind.

"How many days' flight time are we left to the small island nation that Barrett is about to attack?"

After sulking for a while, Moria summoned several navigators and asked them a question.

“If we don’t stop along the way, based on the speed of naval warships, it should take about a day and a half to reach our destination,” one of the navigator shadow servants replied.

A day and a half!

Moria thought about it and realized that it wasn't far at all; in fact, it was quite close. If he flew at full speed, he might arrive in half a day.

Exactly!

Now we need to rethink our strategy; the initial plan can no longer be implemented.
