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

Moria returned from the seaside; the January tradition was not yet over.

Half an hour later, Yiyue finally received the inheritance and opened her eyes.

"boom!"

The moment he opened his eyes, a surge of Conqueror's Haki erupted from January, instantly engulfing the entire Beehive Island.

"Plop! Plop... Thump!"

In an instant, most of the pirates in the first half of the island could not withstand the impact of the hellish Conqueror's Haki, their eyes rolled back, and they fainted. Only those who had fought countless battles and had strong wills endured it.

"This is…"

"Conqueror's Haki!!"

"As expected, the boss is the boss. Even if only one in a million people possesses the talent for Conqueror's Haki, the boss's Conqueror's Haki is the strongest among them."

The group of pirates, unaware that Conqueror's Haki belonged to Mitsuba, were making wild guesses and speculations.

Don't they know that Mo has never cared about Conqueror's Haki or anything like that?

"This is possible...?" Moria, who was present, was dumbfounded, and at the same time, he felt a little envious.

Despite Moria's nonchalant attitude, he secretly longs to possess the Conqueror's Haki that makes his underlings kneel with a single glare.

Throughout history, there have been many skills for showing off, and Conqueror's Haki is definitely one that everyone wants to possess.

"Even Conqueror's Haki can be passed down!!" Not to mention Moria, even Mitsuba, the user of the Inheritance Fruit, was shocked.

If a fruit can inherit everything from another person, even Conqueror's Haki, then wouldn't it also be able to inherit Observation Haki and Armament Haki?

That's way too outrageous.

In an instant, Mitsuha thought of many things, looking at her own hands as if she were seeing the power of the Inheritance Fruit for the first time.

January restrained his Conqueror's Haki and looked at Moria with eager eyes, "Boss, how about we have a spar?"

"Wait!" Mitsuha called out to Ichigetsu. After her initial excitement, she remembered the drawback of the inheritance fruit consuming lifespan and quickly asked Ichigetsu, "Have you felt your lifespan decreasing or anything like that?"

After pondering for a moment, Yi Yue shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It hasn't decreased, but I can only accept this inheritance. If it happens again, my brain will explode."

Mitsuha asked, "Why?"

After thinking for a moment, January replied, "The knowledge and power I have inherited are too much. My brain has reached its limit. Unless my physical functions become more than twice as strong again, my brain and body will not be able to withstand it."

"What a pity!" Mitsuha shook her head.

If it could be passed down a few more times, and if there were a few more users of Conqueror's Haki, then Ichigaku would be flying high in the sky, with strength comparable to the Pirate King.

No, January's strength now might already be... close to that of the Pirate King.

Thinking of this, Mitsuha looked at Moria and Ichigetsu with burning eyes.

"Boss, why don't you spar with January?"

Mitsuha couldn't wait to see just how powerful January had become.

Moria laughed and looked at January, saying, "Let's fight high in the sky."

Moria was also curious to know if, having inherited Conqueror's Haki, he had truly inherited all of Bondiwald's power.

If so, then coupled with January's physique being far stronger than Bondiwald's, January's strength would definitely be greater than Bondiwald's.

"Whoa!"

The two flew together to an altitude of 6,000 meters above Beehive Island, where they stood face to face, about 100 meters apart.

Fluffy white clouds floated around the two of them.

In January, she awakened her complete form, which was six meters tall, with a pair of pure white wings gently swaying on her back. She did not use her complete form, which was twelve meters tall.

However, this does not mean that the six-meter-tall fully-formed version is weak. On the contrary, this six-meter-tall fully-formed version is even faster than the twelve-meter-tall version, making it the best choice to complement the Momo-Momo Fruit's ability, which grants a hundred times the speed.

"Come on! Go all out!"

Moria, who had also activated his normal-sized Shadow Golden Scale Armor mode, beckoned to Ichigetsu, signaling him to attack.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, boss!"

After saying this, January clenched his left fist in front and his right fist behind his back. With the flapping of his wings, he moved through the air like oars and instantly accelerated toward Moria.

"Peng Peng!"

Two white rings of air burst out in the air.

A hundred meters, covered in an instant.

Moria threw a punch in mid-air, meeting January's fist.

“Zheng…”

"Sizzle...!"

Their fists collided in mid-air, and a powerful red and black lightning bolt flashed between them.

But the stalemate lasted only a moment before Moria's Ryuo Haki was worn away by January's Ryuo Haki.

"As expected, he has inherited both Armament Haki and Ryuo Haki."

A thought flashed through Moria's mind, and then terrifying power poured directly onto his fist.

Fortunately, his Shadow Golden Body Scales, combined with Armament Haki hardening, were truly terrifying, easily blocking January's heavy punch.

"Om..."

However, a peculiar force surged from January's fist, coursing through Moria's body. Although it didn't cause him any real harm, the oppressive feeling was immense, creating a mental strain that felt like it was about to knock him unconscious.

Of course, that kind of mental pressure had absolutely no effect on Moria.

"Peng!"

The sound of an explosion rang out, and Moria and January both retreated fifty meters.

Moria looked at January and asked, "What was that force that made people feel so mentally oppressed just now?"

This wasn't the first time Moria had encountered this.

Garp had used this technique on him back when he fought Garp on Skull Island.

At that time, Garp's punch contained the power of Ryuo Haki.

It didn't hit his face directly, but was just a shockwave containing the power of Ryuo Haki, which almost made him roll his eyes and faint.

If it landed squarely on Moria's face, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it and would pass out.

Moria later also felt this special power in Whitebeard.

However, after the battle on Skull Island, Moria's Armament Haki strength increased significantly, and with the development of the Shadow Golden Body Armor Mode, his defense became even stronger.

That special power that knocks people unconscious has no effect on him.

So he didn't pay attention or investigate further, simply assuming it was a special effect of the mental attack.

However, today, January suddenly used the same power as Garp and Whitebeard, making Moria realize that this special power seems to be possessed by only a small number of people, and they are all users of Conqueror's Haki.

January flew up to Moria, raised his fist, and said excitedly, "Boss, Conqueror's Haki can also entangle people. It can not only knock people unconscious, but also enhance the attack power. It's very similar to an attack after being infused with willpower, except that Conqueror's Haki seems to have a greater amplification than being infused with willpower."

Moria was stunned after hearing this. To be precise, he was stunned and bewildered when he heard that Conqueror's Haki could also entwine like Armament Haki.

"What the hell?"

"Conqueror's Haki can also be used to entangle? It can even enhance attack power and has a built-in stun effect!"

"Isn't Conqueror's Haki only good for showing off and clearing out grunts? How come it's suddenly all over us now!"

"Why didn't I know this information in my past life?"

Moria racked his brains trying to recall the few memories he had left from his past life, but in the end he still couldn't find any information about the Pirate King's Conqueror's Haki.

Unaware of Moria's changing expression, January continued excitedly, "It's said that this is a skill possessed by only a handful of the world's top experts!"

At this point, January looked at Moria and said with a hint of reproach, "Boss, you know it yourself, why did you make me say it?"

In January's opinion, Moria, who is on par with Garp and Whitebeard, must also possess this skill, which is only possessed by a select few of the world's top fighters.

I was just teasing her!

"..." Moria remained silent.

Following the principle that silence equates to acquiescence, January wore an expression of "I knew it," and "I felt proud of it."

It's just that I don't have Conqueror's Haki!

It's just that Conqueror's Haki can also entangle!

Just consider it another instance of Oda showing off his skills!

Even without Conqueror's Haki, I am still the strongest.

At least its defense is the strongest!

With a certain emotion in his heart, Moria looked at Ichigami, who was lost in his own thoughts, and said in a deep voice, "Come, let me see just how strong you really are, having inherited everything from the World Destroyer!"

"it is good!"

In January, Moria was instantly two hundred meters away.

It really happened in an instant; Moria didn't even have time to react.

"So fast!!" Moria exclaimed in surprise; this was much faster than the previous exchange of fire.

Looking at the moon ahead, Moria was completely focused, his body tense.

"Momo, 100x speed!!" Yiyue shouted, flapped her wings behind her, and disappeared instantly. She appeared in front of Moria and threw a punch. The extremely heavy fist slammed directly into Moria's chest.

"Clang!"

"Peng!"

Moria didn't even have time to react before he was blasted away by a punch, leaving a white trail of air in his wake before finally coming to rest a kilometer away from January.

fast!

Unbelievably fast!

Moria's Observation Haki, which allowed him to anticipate January's attack trajectory, was useless because his body couldn't keep up.

January is already moving very fast, and then it's accelerated a hundredfold.
