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

At that time, a powerful figure like Barrett would be able to kill and devour the shadow at will, and then he could leave by switching places with the shadow servant without having to worry about being caught.

He could even leave shadow servants in Impel Down, turning it into his ATM and a treasure trove for extracting the shadows of powerful figures.

Of course, all of this is contingent on him being able to infiltrate the area.

"At the moment, it won't work!"

Moria shook his head slightly in his heart, but who knows what the future holds.

If he can develop the Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability he envisions, then treating Impel Down as his backyard would be no problem at all.

Clang!

boom!

Clang!

!

Moria, who was excitedly thinking about Impel Down, suddenly heard a loud crash coming from Vico Island below.

"This is"

"Is this the legendary protagonist's halo?"

Looking down at the roar of battle below, one could hear the intense sounds of collisions that only Garp and Barret could produce during a fight.

Moria understood what that level of impact sound meant.

This means that someone capable of fighting Garp has arrived, and it seems that more than one person has come.

The navy uniforms are uniformly colored, and the Shadow Soldiers are all black, making them very conspicuous.

At this moment, Moria saw other, different colors at Cap's place on Vico Island below.

"Um"

"There are people on the other side too!"

"The battle seems to be still quite intense!"

Haha!

Moriah chuckled; this situation was unexpected, yet to his liking.

Regardless of who the visitor was or what their purpose was, it provided Moria with an opportunity to reclaim Barrett.

Thinking this, Moria stood up, just as he was about to find a shadow servant to switch places with and leave.

"Heat Breath!"

A blazing pillar of fire swept in from the distance behind them, and the intense heat caused Moria's expression to change drastically.

Get out of the way!

Moria roared and leaped to the right to dodge.

At the same time, the Shadow Servant Eagle, carrying Victor and Perona, leaned to the left to dodge.

boom!

A pillar of fire, ten meters in diameter, streaked across the sky from where the giant eagle had been, tearing through the heavens.

The moment Moria dodged the pillar of fire, he controlled his shadow to transform into a bat and catch him, then hurriedly looked at the shadow servant giant eagle to the side.

I didn't see it!

Ah!

It fell; one of the giant eagle's wings was burned away by the pillar of fire, and its body was falling.

Viktor grabbed the bewildered "Hehe" Perona with one hand and the giant eagle's feather with the other, suspending himself on the eagle's back.

With a thought, Moria channeled life energy into the Shadow Servant Giant Eagle, instantly restoring its burned-out wings.

The giant eagle steadied itself in mid-air and stood up straight again.

Perona seemed to think it was something fun, staring at Moria with her big, adorable eyes, and opening her mouth: "Hehehe!"

Moria shook her head, thinking how fearless children are; she almost died, but she's still laughing.

"Moria!!"

At that moment, a loud roar came, and a giant blue dragon from the East flew towards Moria from the distant sky.

"Kaido!!!"

"How did this guy get here?"

Moria frowned slightly, then relaxed, looked down at Vico Island and smiled, thinking: Good thing, I'll be your tool this time.

"Fly away quickly, don't stop."

After giving instructions to the giant eagle and Victor, Moria withdrew his shadow and descended towards Vico Island below.

call out!

The Shadow Servant Giant Eagle obediently spread its wings and carried Victor and Perona away at high speed to one side.

"That is?"

"Never mind, it's more important to capture Moria first."

Kaido glanced at the flying shadow servant giant eagle, then ignored them and twisted his dragon body to fly towards Moria.

"Moria."

"Come back with me, you can't escape!"

Kaido pressured Moria, deciding not to kill him after learning about Moria's Shadow Servants ability, and to give him another chance to quit his addiction to the King.

Ha ha!

Just be a tool for others!

Moria's lips curled up, and without saying a word, he used the acceleration of his descent, combined with the acceleration of Moonwalk, to quickly descend towards the bottom of the island.

Chapter 25 If you want me to work overtime... you'll have to pay me extra (a polite request).

"Hahaha!"

"Garp, didn't you say Moria wasn't on the island?!"

Who is that?

During the battle, after Captain John and Garp exchanged blows, Captain John retreated for a moment, looked at Moria falling from the sky, and said with a smile.

Moriah!

Garp was somewhat surprised that the kid had actually returned.

And

"One slash!" Seizing the moment when Garp was thinking, Captain John unleashed a sharp slash wave at Garp.

Clang!

Karp swung his arm and punched, knocking away Captain John's slashing wave, which then cleaved a crack in the ground beside him.

Clang!

Clang!

The two then engaged in a fierce battle, exchanging several blows in an instant.

The clash between the iron fist and the longsword, amplified by Armament Haki, produced a resounding, intense sound of steel colliding head-on.

Clang!

Karp punched Captain John's sword, and the two sides wrestled, creating a crackling sound like invisible lightning in the air.

"Kaido!!"

"This madman is here too, what a nuisance."

Garp remained calm and composed, having just finished fighting Barrett, and still firmly held Captain John under his control.

Kaido's arrival made him frown, and he glanced at the giant dragon behind Moria in the sky, his heart slightly heavy.

Clang!

Captain John and Captain Karp suddenly exerted force on their hands and pulled back.

"Garp, our target is Moria. Just let us take him away. There's no need for us to fight to the death."

Captain John pointed his sword at Moria, who was getting closer and closer in the air, and laughed, "Besides, isn't it what your Navy has always wanted to see us pirates kill each other?"

"Garp," after the Sengoku period Buddha knocked back Akabone Delon with a shockwave from his palm, he came to Garp's side and looked up at the sky, saying, "That Moria guy is coming this way, let's take care of him first!"

"Hey! Hey!"

Before Karp could respond, Captain John suddenly exclaimed dramatically, "Is it really okay to discuss prioritizing the elimination of my companions right in front of me?!"

After saying that, Captain John charged towards Garp, Delon charged towards Sengoku, and the other officers engaged in fierce combat with Kizaru, who had come to reinforce them.

The battle broke out instantly. Deron, relying on the powerful defense granted by his Devil Fruit ability, withstood Sengoku's shockwave, preventing Sengoku from defeating him for the time being.

Kizaru maintained his nonchalant attitude and fighting style, shouting "How terrifying!" while his movements remained swift.

But upon closer inspection, it turns out that none of the pirates were killed; they were simply taking a stroll.

shhhhh!

In the air, a strong wind straightened Moria's hair; he was now a thousand meters above the island of Vico.

The layout of Vico Island is now roughly clear.

"Those are the Big Mom Pirates, aren't they?"

Moria glanced at the battlefield to the east and saw some strange soldiers, guessing they were probably from Big Mom's pirate crew.

"That guy fighting Aokiji must be Katakuri."

"Just right!"

Moria smiled. Aokiji was also entangled, and with Garp joining in, they could lure Kaido towards Sengoku later, freeing up Dreon so Akainu could deal with him.

That way, no one on Barrett's side can stop him. Perfect.
