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

The truth is, the enormous force, through dissipation, was transmitted into the earth through the leaves and the trees, so the leaves were unharmed and the trees were also unaffected.

Moria, standing on the leaves, dissipates the force, making it seem as if he's standing on the entire tree, thus causing no damage to the leaves.

"With this level of energy dissipation, is there anyone in this world with better lightness skills than me!"

"There probably aren't any left!"

Moriah answered his own question with a laugh, then jumped down from the tree, landed on the ground, and turned to deliver a heavy punch to the tree trunk.

bump!

In the instant the fist was thrown and then retracted, the tree made only a soft sound, without any major commotion; not even the leaves trembled.

But soon, green and white sap seeped from the trunk, just like blood seeping from human skin, which looked rather terrifying.

call!

Moria simply breathed a soft breath onto the tree.

The tree melted instantly, piling up on the ground to form a pool of tree mud mixed with sawdust, and a bitter smell emanated from it.

Moria covered his nose and left the large tree.

The attack just now was another application of scattered force.

It can be used not only to absorb force, but also to disperse locally to attack the entire interior of a large tree.

Similar to the power of hidden force, it caused the entire tree to be attacked by a powerful force, thus damaging it from the inside out.

Of course, the reason why this big tree was smashed into a pile of mud was mainly because Moria's power was too great.

If the force is weak, it will dissipate once it is dispersed.

It can disperse force, and it can also gather force.

With a thought, Moria manipulated his shadow to form a cylinder two meters in diameter and ten meters long, which flew at high speed from fifty meters away and crashed into him.

Facing the rapidly approaching shadow pillar, Moria first took a step back, clenched his right fist and brought it behind his waist, then concentrated all his strength into his fist and threw a punch at high speed.

"tear!"

This straight punch pierced and tore through the air so fast that it struck the shadowy pillar that was hurtling towards them at high speed.

laugh!

There was almost no resistance; it was like inserting it into a block of tofu.

Moria's fist pierced straight into the shadow pillar, his power concentrated entirely in his fist, making it as solid as a nail.

The shadow was instantly shattered by his own attack and automatically returned to his body, transforming back into a shadow.

Moria looked at his fists and was quite satisfied with his current strength and defense.

In the collision just now, his fist didn't feel any pain at all, which means that his fist, skin and muscles are very strong now.

At least defensively, his current skin is not much weaker than the scales of that nearly fifty-meter-long snake.

Attacks that contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth generally have no effect on him.

Only the sword energy of some powerful swordsmen could possibly break through his defenses.

In terms of strength, a person whose weight has increased fourfold and who can jump 25 meters high vertically will inevitably have powerful muscles and thus be very strong.

He felt that throwing a car was as easy as throwing a regular chair.

Of course, it can't compare to the world of One Piece, but it's already terrifying in this world.

Afterwards, Moria tested reaction speed.

The shadows autonomously control the five shadows to launch an attack against him.

He kept avoiding attacks.

shhhhhh!

For a moment, in the grove, shadow needles, like flying black lines, crisscrossed in the air.

Moriah's body moved like a willow catkin, constantly dodging and weaving through the forest.

Without consciously controlling the shadow armor to move his body, Moria's movement speed and reaction speed have increased significantly, relying solely on his physical reflexes.

He was already able to easily evade the attacks from the five shadowy figures targeting him.

The reason he can do this so easily is also related to the fact that his brain cells have been strengthened and improved.

In addition, the cells of organs such as the eyes, ears, and sense of smell are also enhanced.

So now Moria's vision is very good, not as good as an eagle's eye, but it's comparable to the eyes of an ordinary bird.

Just like now, from a kilometer away, he can see a single hair on Jing Ni's head.

His hearing is even more terrifying. He can now not only hear sounds, but he can also hear and sense the movement of air within a ten-meter radius.

The sense of smell is the same; it's not as good as a dog's, but it can still smell a faint scent of blood from a kilometer away.

With such senses, Moria could have a general grasp of his surroundings without using Observation Haki, as if he had a rudimentary three-dimensional radar.

Therefore, dodging the five shadow needles is easy.

In addition, his perfect control over the flow of his own power allows him to ignore some inertia and make all sorts of unbelievable movements to dodge.

This makes things even easier, not to mention the added advantage of Observation Haki's ability to foresee the future.

Without a doubt, while I can't speak for others, Moria believes that in terms of dodging, no one in the world of Qin Shi is stronger than him.

After ten minutes of reaction and dodging experiments, Moria suddenly threw a punch, a five-hit combo, scattering the five shadows and ending the experiment.

After the shadow returned to his body, Moria looked at it and fell into deep thought.

He suddenly felt that the shadow was too hard!

It's not that being hard is bad, it's just that it's too hard, and it seems like it could be easily broken apart.

What if a shadow had the hardness of a sword and the elasticity and toughness of rubber?

Moriah was very curious, so he began searching in the woods.

He searched through the trees for sap. He didn't know if rubber existed in the world, but sticky, gum-like sap should be quite common.

They are usually found on old trees.

After searching for a few minutes, Moria actually found it on a large, dark-skinned tree.

The sap is yellowish-brown, like amber, and crystal clear.

Moria simply scooped out a lump of sap the size of a pigeon egg and shaped it into a ball.

We walked out of the grove and onto the grass, where the light was better.

Moria pinched the sap ball between his index finger and thumb and placed it beside him.

The ball casts its shadow on the grass in the sunlight.

With a thought, Moria manipulated his shadow to begin devouring the shadow of the sap orb.

Within seconds, the shadow was completely swallowed up.

Moria immediately manipulated the shadow back into a giant shadow pillar of the same size as before, which crashed into him at high speed from twenty meters away.

Boom!

Moria also punched the shadow pillar.

This time, instead of shattering the shadow directly, the shadow cylinder was broken into rings of iron discs squeezed together.

Clearly, most of the force of his punch was absorbed by the elastic deformation of the shadow.

That's why the shadow wasn't scattered.

"This is how shadows are used to devour the shadows of objects!!"

Moria withdrew his shadow, sighing inwardly, while secretly cursing his past self for not knowing how to use shadows to devour other objects' shadows.

In the past, we always thought that a hard shadow was the best defense, but actually, a flexible hardness is the best defense.

"but"

"I really look forward to the day when Shadow Mode will be available!!"

With the shadow becoming elastic, and the Shadow Golden Body mode activated, will Moria be able to use "Gum-Gum" like Luffy?

He was really looking forward to that day.

After that, there were no more experiments.

Overall, Moria was very satisfied with this upgrade.

This essentially boosted his combat power to the top tier of this world, preventing him from being unable to fight back as he had been when he first arrived, only able to dodge.

However, this is the only time I can improve so much; I won't be able to achieve a major improvement in the future.

The reason why this improvement was so significant is...

It was because his mental consciousness was strong enough that he amplified all the sources of fluctuations, thereby driving his physical body to evolve and become much stronger.

Now that the sources of energy fluctuation have been strengthened, Moria's mental and spiritual strength is no longer sufficient to drive the sources of energy fluctuation to become stronger, so naturally he can no longer make his physical body evolve and become stronger.

However, this does not mean that Moria's physical body can only maintain this level of strength in the future.

Actually, the biggest gain from finding the corresponding three-dimensional fluctuation space of the physical body's shadow is not the enhanced body it has now.

Instead, it confirmed one of Moria's conjectures in the One Piece world.

Speculation about physical limiters.

Finding the three-dimensional fluctuation space of the shadow corresponding to the physical body is like unlocking the physical body's limiter.

This was Moria's biggest takeaway from this trip.

After finding the three-dimensional fluctuation space of the shadow of the corresponding physical body, Moria understood what the so-called physical body limiter was all about.

The physical body possesses an instinct that drives its evolution and strengthening.

In general, no matter how much bone you break down and regenerate to increase bone density, once a certain point is reached, bone density will not increase further.

Similarly, once physical functions such as muscle toughness, density, and hardness are strengthened to a certain extent through various extreme training methods, they will not improve or become stronger no matter how much training is done or what methods are used.

This is because the body instinctively feels that the physical strength has reached its limit, so it stops responding to your training, which means your training is in vain and can no longer make the body stronger.
