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

This kind of attack only hits the arm. If it hit Moria's head, well... just imagine the consequences of his brain cells getting burned red-hot from the stress.

"Golden Lion!!"

Moria solemnly called out the name of the Golden Lion. He had to admit that there were still people in this world whose attacks could kill him in one blow.

"Go to hell, you brat!!!"

The Golden Lion, unmoved by Moria's charm, raised his foot and swiftly aimed it at Moria after seeing that his previous attack had been effective.

Moria neither dodged nor raised his hand. Facing the charging golden lion, he smiled and thought to himself, "See you next time!"

……

Chapter 176 The Underworld's Opportunistic Gambling (Two Chapters Combined)

"call out!"

"Zi!"

The Golden Lion kicked through the dissipating shadow servants, then turned to look at the air where Moria had stood.

There was nothing there.

According to my Observation Haki, there was no trace of Moria within a radius of several kilometers.

Shiki, who knew Moria's abilities from his intelligence, understood. Moria had escaped, or rather, left.

"That brat's defense is truly terrifying... It seems I'll have to develop even stronger attack techniques!"

With a longing in his heart, the golden lion flew towards the highest island.

Ever since his last battle with Moria, where he discovered Moria's terrifying defense, Shiki has been working tirelessly to develop more powerful attacks in hopes of breaking through Moria's defenses.

That previous Extreme Slash was a move that Shiki recently developed, specifically designed to deal with Moria.

Unfortunately, it was effective, even directly attacking Moria's brain and causing a fatal blow.

But that's obviously unrealistic. Moria's Observation Haki and speed are formidable, making it extremely difficult to directly attack his head, especially since he knows that Shiki's attacks can cause fatal damage.

"Therefore, we need to develop even stronger attack techniques!"

While sighing in admiration once again, the Golden Lion couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"Where can you find human defenses? This is terrifying!!!"

It's no wonder that Shiki cursed him like that; it's just that during his more than ten years of pirate life before he met Moria.

I've never seen a defense like Moria's.

Many people are strong because of their strong defenses, like Charlotte Linlin and Kaido. Try letting them take his slashes bare-handed, and they'll be cleaved in two.

Only Garp's Armament Haki hardening is so strong that it's abnormal, allowing him to block Garp's slash with his bare hands.

Moria's Armament Haki hardening is also strong, but it's far inferior to Garp's; at the very least, he absolutely cannot withstand Garp's slashes.

But Moria blocked it easily. Even his newly developed Extreme Slash could only hit the head; hitting the body was of little use.

Isn't it infuriating? At least the Golden Lion is pretty angry.

Enraged, the golden lion arrived at the highest island, which was also where he would live.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

"Where's that guy? Did he run away again?"

As soon as the Golden Lion landed, a group of henchmen surrounded him, their words filled with admiration for the Golden Lion, seemingly very proud of having once again defeated the Best Actor.

Even the Golden Lion rarely answered, and ordered in a deep voice: "Search all the islands and find out all of Moria's shadow servants."

After speaking, Shiki walked into the palace-like house, thinking about how to make his slashes stronger in preparation for Moria's next arrival.

He had a premonition that the next time Moria came, it wouldn't be a fleeting visit like this time; it would inevitably be a life-or-death battle.

……

Beehive Island.

When Moria returned, Mitsuha and the others hadn't finished eating yet.

This trip didn't take much time, only about five minutes in total.

However, Moria showed no intention of continuing to eat.

As soon as he landed, he went into the house and ran towards the shower room on the left side of the hall.

I got covered in dust from the previous battle, so I need to wash myself.

"Splash!"

"Splash!"

Under the huge showerhead, Moria leaned forward slightly, one hand against the wall, letting the torrential rain pour down on him as he quietly looked at his reflection in the mirror.

What kind of face and figure does that person have?

Well... I won't comment on his face, but after looking at it for a while, you get used to it and he's actually quite handsome.

Let's talk about body shape.

Look at those long, straight legs, they're miles ahead of any Korean oppa. And look at those well-defined muscles around his waist, like stretched steel bars, powerful and controlled, and in terms of stamina...

Moria lowered his waist and swayed back and forth, thinking to himself: That's only for men who watch it for a while... Never mind, men shouldn't watch it. Anyway, women will cry all night if they watch it.

Let's look at the height... wait!

Moria straightened up, reached his hand above his head, and then moved to the mirror, only to find that... he seemed to have grown quite a bit taller during this time.

Moria took a few steps back, glanced at the full-length mirror, and estimated that he was now almost six meters tall.

"You're growing so fast!"

At this rate, in less than a year, he will grow to Moria's height of nearly seven meters as described in the original work.

However, the current Moria is somewhat worried when he thinks about Moria's size in the original work.

"I hope I won't grow any taller and end up with a short, round body like that!"

"This is terrible!" Moria quickly glanced at himself in the mirror.

Thankfully, for now, her long legs are still there.

As long as I continue to exercise to regulate my Qi and blood, I shouldn't follow in Moria's footsteps in the original story.

dong dong!Boom!

Outside the bathroom door, Yiyue leaned against the door frame, knocked on the glass door, glanced at the blurry figure inside, and joked, "Boss, why are you taking so long to shower? Do you want me to come in and help you?"

Moria reached out and stopped the shower, shook his head and smiled, "No need, I'll be out soon!"

As Moria dried himself with a towel, he asked, "Is something wrong?"

Outside the door, Moon, who had been leaning against the doorframe, straightened up and replied, "Ike just said that the custom-made Shadow Servant armor has arrived and he wants you to come and take a look!"

Moria dried himself off, put down the towel, nodded to the door and said, "Understood. Tell him I'll be right there."

January smiled and agreed, then quickly left, saying, "I'll go right away."

Clang!

When Moria opened the bathroom door, he had changed his outfit, wearing brightly colored floral pants, a brightly colored floral shirt, and flip-flops, looking every bit the big shot from the One Piece world.

Stepping out of the house and onto the street, Moria walked towards the port.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

"...!"

Along the way, especially after reaching the port, they encountered many more pirates. Every pirate who saw Moria stood up and greeted him respectfully.

Moria ignored him and walked right past.

The pirates weren't afraid, nor did they feel humiliated. On the contrary, the more Moria ignored them, the more they felt that he truly lived up to his boss's domineering presence.

But the truth is, Moria simply couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

After all, it would be too troublesome to respond to so many greetings.

So Moria, who originally wanted to take a walk, simply sat on his shadow and let it carry him to the open space in front of the port.

"call!"

"Cool!"

Cheers! Cheers!

"Ah...sir, please don't do this!"

"Haha! Ha! This is what pirates are all about!!!"

"Thank you, boss! Long live the boss!!"

As Moria flew through the air, listening to the sounds of the pirates celebrating on the island below, he felt inexplicably more at ease.

The pirates under Moria's command have been on Beehive Island for some time now.

Instead of going to war, they were very happy, drinking fine wine and playing with beautiful women on this pirate island.

Compared to their previous pirate life of raiding places and traveling everywhere, they are now living an incredibly comfortable life.

The Movie Emperor Pirate Crew, which has already controlled several countries and more than twenty islands, doesn't need to steal food. They can simply go to the islands in their territory at fixed times each month to collect "protection fees" and live a life of eating, drinking and having fun for a whole month.

In the New World, only a few pirate crews, such as the Whitebeard Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, and the Big Mom Pirates, can enjoy this kind of life.

That's why many pirates want to join them.

Of course, while some seek refuge, others refuse and cause trouble.

At this point, the Movie Emperor Pirates began to take action.

Since they've accepted protection money, they must also bear the responsibility of providing protection.

The new world will never lack idiots and ambitious challengers.

The reputation of the "Actor Pirates" can scare away some people, but it can also attract others to take on the challenge.
