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

Perona chuckled and led Moria to the rooftop.

Moria reached the rooftop railing, turned around, lifted his bottom slightly, sat down, looked at Perona, and laughed, "What new move is it? Let me see it!"

"immediately!"

Perona put down her little black umbrella, jogged over to Moria's side, clenched her left fist and held it horizontally in front of her chest about an arm's length away, extended her right index finger and thumb at a 90-degree angle to make a "pistol" shape, and then rested it on her left wrist. She lowered her head to the right and rested it on her shoulder, squinting her left eye and slightly narrowing her right eye, as if she were holding a sniper rifle and aiming at something.

Moria, curious, turned his head to the side and looked in the direction Perona was pointing. There was a coconut tree on the beach several kilometers away.

"What?" Moria turned to look at Perona and teased, "Are you trying to show me your mind-based pistol attack?"

Perona shook her head, then shouted, "Phantom Missile!"

call out!

As Perona finished speaking, a winged bullet phantom shot out from between her fingers in an instant, traveling at extremely high speed across a distance of several thousand meters, and accurately hitting the trunk of the coconut tree on the beach.

"Snapped!"

The ghost missile, just like a real bullet, pierced straight through the trunk of a coconut tree that a person could hug, leaving a hole as thick as an adult's thumb.

"Shhhhhh!"

More than a dozen Ghost missiles flew out from between Perona's index fingers, eventually snapping the coconut trees on the distant beach in half.

The Ghost-Ghost Fruit also possesses physical attack capabilities!

Moria had already climbed down from the railing and stood beside Perona, gazing in amazement at the broken coconut tree on the distant beach.

"Lord Momo!"

Perona giggled, not looking at Moria, but instead crossing her arms and facing forward, leaving Moria with a haughty profile.

It's as if it's saying, "How about that! Aren't I amazing!"

"Great job, Nana!" Moria laughed and gave Perona a thumbs up in approval.

Upon hearing Moria's praise, Perona looked up at Moria's thumbs-up, her little face flushed with joy.

"I have one more ultimate move!"

As she spoke, Perona quickly flew to a position ten meters above the rooftop.

The girl wanted more affirmation, so her desire to perform was very strong.

"And I'm looking forward to that!" Moria crossed his arms and looked at Perona in the air.

After Perona flew into the air, she turned back to Moria, her expression serious. She clasped her hands together and whispered, "Thousand-Armed Ghost!!"

Is this Ghost Wood Release?!

Before Moria could even utter a sound of disapproval upon hearing the name of the move.

A giant Thousand-Armed Ghost Guanyin really did appear behind Perona in the air. Yes, it was a chibi version of the Thousand-Armed Ghost Guanyin, round and cute.

“But it’s really big!” Moria tilted his head slightly.

The Q-version Thousand-Armed Ghost Guanyin behind Perona is hundreds of meters tall, and each of her ghostly arms is as thick as a high-speed train.

"what!"

Suddenly, Perona in mid-air formed her right palm and pressed down. Behind her, the Thousand-Armed Ghost Guanyin also pressed down with one of her palms.

It moved very quickly, in sync with Perona's downward-pressing palm. As Perona's palm stopped, the giant ghostly hand also covered the open space in front of the house.

"Boom!"

The rubble flew out, leaving a two-meter-deep palm print on the open ground.

Her attack power is impressive. To achieve this level without Armament Haki, Perona's strength will be terrifying in the future once she has Armament Haki.

"Hahahaha!"

Perona was like a boxer throwing rapid punches, constantly striking with her palms, while the Thousand-Handed Ghost behind her was also constantly striking with his palms.

"Boom!"

The open space in front of the house looked like it had been bombarded by hundreds of missiles. In no time, it was filled with deep craters, and only the edges could still be seen to reveal the outline of QQ's handprint.

"This kid must be working really hard to develop his Devil Fruit ability!" Moria muttered to himself.

After fighting for a while, Perona stopped, her face flushed but not out of breath, clearly having not expended much energy, or rather, her stamina was already terrifying, and this amount of exertion was not enough to make her breathless.

Perona flew down and came to Moria, still with her arms crossed over her chest, looking arrogant, but actually expecting Moria's praise.

Moria didn't hold back his praise, showering Perona with compliments, making the little girl so happy that she floated around in the air like a ghost, feeling as if she had no bones left in her body.

"How did you do that?" Moria sat back down on the railing and asked curiously, "How did you give the ghosts physical attacks?"

Perona stopped drifting around and flew to Moria, explaining, "Just compress the air inside the ghost!"

Compressed air?

Don't ghosts pass directly through objects? How do you compress air?

Faced with Moria's questions, Perona replied with a serious expression, "I don't know either!"

Uh!

Moria paused, shook his head, and didn't ask about the Ghost-Ghost Fruit's abilities again. Asking again would only lead to the same result and would only annoy him.

"Lord Momo, I will develop many powerful moves in the future, the really, really powerful ones!" Perona suddenly said solemnly, her small eyes full of seriousness as she looked at Moria.

she was.

Perona.

It's not a burden.

He is the best subordinate who can help Lord Momo.

Perona spoke each word firmly in her heart.

"I'm really looking forward to it!" Moria laughed and patted Perona's head.

The little girl immediately gave a kitten-like expression.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

The banquet has already gone on for so long; it seems that pirate banquets are unlikely to end quickly.

Fortunately, everyone knew that a great battle was about to begin. After eating and drinking their fill and not getting drunk, everyone packed their things and took everything they could with them to the pirate ship.

They will settle down in Wano Country from now on.

Everyone was confident that this battle would surely defeat Kaido and take Wano Country.

There is absolutely no possibility of failing and returning to Beehive Island.

"Let's go, Anudes!" Moria gave the order.

A total of twenty-five pirate ships, empowered by the Float-Float Fruit ability inherited from Shiki in July, soared into the sky, above the clouds, and headed towards Wano Country.

For this expedition to Wano Country, Moria has a total of 21 pirate crews with 3,000 members and 7,000 shadow servants, for a total force of 10,000.

Above the sea of ​​clouds.

On the bow deck of the Mitsuba Pirate Ship, Mitsuba, Perona, and others admire the scenery above the sea of ​​clouds.

Moriah stood in the middle, raising his left hand to his right, and pinching his chin in thought.

In front of him stood the shadow servant, Count Red.

He was pondering how to make the Red Earl fly.

To deal with Kaido, swordsmen like Shiki the Golden Lion or Shanks are the most suitable.

Tanky warriors like Kaido are very resistant to blunt weapon attacks, but they are no match for high-damage swordsman slashes.

Once the defenses are breached, the defenses will not be able to hold out for long.

The awkward thing is, it seems that none of the sword masters can fly.

The Red Earl was the same.

If you can't fly, you'll be at a great disadvantage in aerial combat against Kaido, who can fly.

"What should we do?"

After thinking for a while, Moria decided to use a clumsy method: he manipulated a part of the shadow to turn into a vest and shorts, which the Red Earl wore. He then gave the shadow the order to carry the Red Earl through the air.

After trying to fly for a while, Moria realized it wouldn't work.

The Red Earl's thoughts cannot be synchronized with his shadow, preventing him from flying at will.

This means that flying during combat is no longer possible.

"Um, wait a minute!"

Looking at his own shadow on the Red Count, the shadow servant in front of him, Moria fell into deep thought.

Could his own shadow merge into the shadow servant? Moria suddenly wondered.

I think it's possible!

Moria chuckled, somewhat curious about what would happen after the Shadow Servant merged into his shadow.

Without hesitation, Moria manipulated a portion of his shadow to merge into the Red Earl's body, truly becoming one with the Shadow Servant Red Earl.

After it was finished, Moria asked, "How is it? Has anything changed?"

"I can't move my body!" Count Red said.

"Huh!!!" Moria exclaimed in surprise. The Red Earl's lips hadn't moved; the words had simply echoed in Moria's mind. Just like a Shadow Servant speaking directly in the Shadow Dimension, he couldn't hear the voice, but the words were directly presented in his mind.

But why can't he move his body? Moria wondered.

The Red Earl thought to himself, "Because after merging with my master's shadow, my body has become my master's shadow, so I can't move without my master's command."

"I see!!" With this explanation, Moria understood.

Simply put, Shadowstalker can control his own body, but he cannot control Moria's shadow.

When a part of Moria's shadow merged with the Shadow Servant, the Shadow Servant, unable to control Moria's shadow, also lost control of his own body.

After figuring it out, Moria had a sudden thought and granted the Red Earl permission to control the part of himself that had merged into him.

“You can move now!” said the Red Earl.
