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

The CP0 man tensed, remained silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "Okay!"

The giant snake's eyes lit up, but before he could speak again, the CP0 man preemptively said, "Five hundred million Berries, deal or no deal, I'll turn around and leave right now!"

The CP0 man stared intently at Kurozumi Orochi, his gaze firm and resolute. He was not about to allow Kurozumi Orochi to continue raising the price.

"hehe!"

Kurotan Orochi chuckled, completely unconcerned, and was about to raise the price again when the white-haired old man holding a pipa, who was kneeling to the side, reached out and tugged at Orochi's sleeve.

The black charcoal serpent turned its head and looked at it questioningly, but the white-haired old man gently shook his head at it.

"Then let's make it 500 million Berries!" Kurozumi Orochi turned to look at the CP0 man and said in a deep voice.

At this time, Orochi was quite obedient, especially to the two elders of the Kurozumi clan who had helped him ascend to the position of Shogun of Wano Country.

call!

Upon hearing this, the CP0 man facing Orochi visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and Brick nodded to the burly CP0 man beside him.

The CP0 man reached into his heart and plunged his hand into his body as if into a curtain of water, creating ripples that spread across his chest.

"Oh! A Devil Fruit user, huh!" Kurozumi Orochi chuckled.

The CP0 man finally pulled his hand out from his chest, and two suitcases were pulled out with his large hand and placed on the table.

The CP0 man facing Orochi opened two briefcases, revealing Beli inside, and said to Orochi:

"That's 500 million Berries!"

Kurozumi Orochi's pupils contracted slightly, and he chuckled. He stood up, grabbed both suitcases, and started to drag them back.

But instead of dragging it, the CP0 man reached out and pressed down firmly on the briefcase, his eyes fixed on the Kurozumi Orochi.

"Give!"

Kurozumi Orochi understood; it was a cash-on-delivery transaction. He tossed the knuckle duster on his hand, along with the items on the table, to the CP0 man.

The CP0 man let go and took the two knuckle dusters.

Kurotan Orochi quickly carried the two suitcases back.

The two CP0 men remained silent, took the brass knuckle dusters, and, not wanting to stay a moment longer, got up and walked outside.

After the two CP0 men left, Kurozumi Orochi put down his briefcase, the greed in his eyes gone, replaced by confusion.

He looked at the two old men from left to right. "Why not add a little more money? This is a chance to rip off the World Government!"

The old man holding the pipa explained, "CP0's offer of 500 million Berries is enough. Selling the brass knuckle fist to CP0 is a good deal. We still need to win over CP0 and maintain our covert relationship with the World Government. It will also benefit you. There's no need to push too hard."

The old man chuckled, "Besides, the special knuckle duster that CP0 requested this time is clearly designed to deal with powerful Devil Fruit users. With just a little thought, you'll know who the Navy is targeting."

"Therefore, for the sake of Wano Country, this brass knuckle duster must be sold to CP0 today."

After listening to the old man's explanation, Orochi scoffed, "A good actor, huh! Is that man really Kaido's match?"

Orochi didn't believe anyone could be a match for Kaido.

……

Beehive Island.

It was afternoon, the sun was high in the sky, and the front half of the island was bustling with activity.

Most of Moria's pirate crews have returned, preparing to set off for Wano Country.

Everyone's heart was filled with anticipation, the feeling of participating in a world-renowned battle. Every pirate felt an indescribable surge of pride rising in their chests, just waiting to erupt in the battle against the Beasts Pirates in Wano Country.

The latter half of the island is very quiet.

This area remains Moriah's harem, and only a select few are allowed to enter.

After a month, Moria and January returned to Beehive Island.

Upon landing, Moria called all the women except Hera to the open area on the shore.

The Shadow Slave Golden Lion, the two giants, the warden of the prison, and the giant warship San Juan Wolf were all summoned by Moria.

"No matter what happens later, keep quiet and don't resist."

After giving orders to the Shadow Slave, Jin Jinshi, and the others who were standing in a row, Moria turned to look at Mitsuha and the other women.

"Eat the Devil Fruit and go over there!" Moria stretched out his left hand.

Perona, Mitsuha, and the others were confused, but they still obediently walked to Moria's right side and stood there.

The remaining seven women, from four to ten leaves, and the five women, from March to July, make a total of twelve women, none of whom have eaten a Devil Fruit yet.

Moria said, "Those of you who are ranked in the top five in strength, step forward!"

The twelve women looked at each other in bewilderment. After a while, three of them stepped forward: Yotsuba, Mitsuki, and Shichizuki. The others did not step forward.

Moria frowned, and Mitsuha, seeing this, took the initiative to explain, "Boss, the remaining sisters are all about the same strength, so it's hard to tell who is better."

"Alright!" Moria's brows relaxed, and he called out, "Then let Gomoku and Rokumoku come out. The rest of you can stay with January or leave on your own."

"Okay, boss!" The remaining Qiye and the others came to Yiyue and the others.

"Big sister, what is the boss going to do? Could it be..." When the Seven Leaves and the others returned and saw that Golden Lion and the others were not moving, they seemed to guess Moria's thoughts.

“It should be!” Mitsuha replied softly.

"Ah..." Nana and the others who weren't chosen by Moria for the five-person team looked regretful. Then they secretly resolved to train harder in the future, because only by being strong could they be selected by the boss.

"Mitsuha, come here!"

Moria summoned Mitsuha and said to Shiki and the others, "Use your abilities to pass on everything they have to Yotsuba and the others."

Mitsuha nodded, then asked with a smile, "Who should we start with?"

Moria replied, "The Golden Lion!"

Mitsuha said, "Okay!"

Standing before the Golden Lion, looking down at this once-powerful figure she had looked up to, Mitsuha's eyes were calm. She squatted down and placed her hands on either side of the Golden Lion, warm yellow light of inheritance shimmering from her hands.

Ten minutes later, a ball of light the size of a volleyball appeared in Mitsuha's palms.

Mitsuha approached Moria and glanced at Yotsuba and the others behind him.

Mitsuha asked, "For whom?!"

The five women's hearts stirred, and their gazes burned as they looked at the sphere of inheritance in San Ye's hand.

That's the legacy of the Golden Lion!

If you could get it, you could instantly become a powerful figure comparable to Whitebeard and the boss. Who wouldn't want that?

Not to mention Yotsuba and the others, even Perona, that little brat, is drooling; she wants one too.

Unfortunately, it all depends on Moria.

Moria turned to look at the five women, then finally looked at July and said softly, "Give it to July!"

Women like January and Mitsuha are generally stronger the higher their numerical ranking is. It's rare to find someone with the lowest numerical ranking who is still among the top five in strength. Moria felt that giving the power to July would allow her to better unleash the full potential of inheriting everything from the Golden Lion.

“Okay!” Sanye nodded with a smile, came to Qiyue’s side, and merged the inheritance orb in her hand into Qiyue’s body.

"Continue!" Moria said, manipulating the shadow to transform the golden lion into a shadow servant, and then storing it in the shadow space.

Mitsuha continued to extract the inheritance orbs from the remaining people.

Finally, the warden's legacy orb was given to Yotsuba.

Not only did Yotsuba instantly gain the strength of a Marine Admiral, but she also awakened the power of the Acid-Acid Fruit, making her far stronger than the former warden.

The two giants who possessed the power to "conquer" the country passed on their inheritance orbs to Gotoku and Rokuyo, instantly bringing their strength to the level of a Marine Admiral. The only pity was that they did not know Ryuo Haki.

The Holy Lake An's Legacy Orb of Light was given to April.

Perhaps because April herself incorporated a lot of Sea King genes, after obtaining the Devil Fruit ability of San Juan Garou, which allows her to grow larger, April's body became even more terrifying than San Juan Garou's.

Moria made April fly into the sky and grow bigger.

Standing 500 meters tall, with its wings also reaching 500 meters in length, it hovers in the air as if blotting out the sky.

His entire body seemed to block out the sky, leaving a huge shadow on the island.

Everyone on the island was stunned.

Moria couldn't resist and transformed into his complete Shadow Mode, flying into the sky and exchanging a punch with April.

He was punched so hard he was sent flying two kilometers before finally stopping.

With an absolute power strike, if Moria weren't in Shadow Mode, where his muscles are in a shadow form and far more resilient than flesh and blood, he would definitely have been punched into coughing up blood by April.

This pure power is something that even the strongest Armament Haki hardening cannot withstand.

……

night.

After eating and drinking his fill, Moria, who hadn't vented his frustrations for over two months, felt a little itchy inside.

Calling July, the two of them left Mitsuha and the others and went to the beach.

The two knew each other well, so there was nothing to be shy about. In the latter part of the island, they weren't afraid that someone might secretly float over to spy on them.

Throughout the entire Beehive Island, in the shadows, most corners were monitored by Moria's shadow servants, and in the sea, Moria's shadow slave sea monsters were also monitoring.

It can be said that the entire Beehive Island, including the surrounding area within a ten-mile radius, is under Moria's absolute control.

Whether they were spies or disloyal pirates, anyone who showed their true colors was dead.

"Boss, do you think this height is enough?"

Under the moonlight, July leaned against a coconut tree, squatted slightly, and turned to look at Moria behind her, asking a question.

"It's...okay!"

Moria's gaze was intense, his lips were a little chapped, and he subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his lips.

From his perspective, the waistline dips to its lowest point in July, creating a perfect oval curve from the hips to the back of the shoulders.

Under the silvery moonlight, her smooth skin resembled white jade.

"call!"

"hiss!"
