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

"When?"

When did Barrett disappear?

Zephyr frowned: "Could it be that Moria took them away?!"

Thinking of this, Zefa quickly recalled the scenes from before.

Moria attacked Barrett with his ability first, but Barrett's aura was still there and he wasn't dead, so Moria didn't pay attention.

Afterwards, he attacked Moria, who did not use his ability to dodge. Instead, Moria only moved his upper body, resulting in the loss of his arm.

then

"Back then!"

Zephyr suddenly realized that at the moment his attack severed Moria's left hand, Barrett's presence also disappeared in his Observation Haki.

He had previously thought that Barrett's death was the reason his aura had disappeared, but he never expected that Moria had taken it away.

After thinking for a moment, Zefa sighed and said, "It seems that his ability to switch places with the Shadow Servant, while unable to bring living people, can bring corpses along for the transfer."

Thus, another troublesome pirate appeared on this vast sea.

Zephyr understood that once Moria could use his ability to teleport away from the corpses and escape the battle, his army of shadow servants would be very difficult to stop.

"Moreover, with Barrett's shadow present this time, the shadow servants created will also possess the strength Barrett possessed in his previous life!"

"That"

Thinking of this, Zephyr's expression turned solemn, and he thought to himself, "It's no longer a question of stopping them, but how to stop Moria from destroying the world!"

On the other side!

Five thousand meters in the air, Moria instantly appeared on the back of the giant eagle, having switched places with Victor.

Ignoring everything else, with a thought, he quickly absorbed life energy to heal his still bleeding left arm.

With the infusion of life energy, Moria breathed a sigh of relief, and his complexion regained some color.

"Hmm, it seems like something just floated away!"

Moria looked around and frowned.

"I always feel like something is missing."

"Damn Perona!!"

Moria's expression changed as he finally realized that Perona was gone, and he quickly activated his Observation Haki.

"They're behind!"

With a thought, he manipulated his shadow into vines, which shot rapidly toward the back of the giant eagle.

A moment later, the shadow vines wrapped around Perona and brought her to Moria's side.

Perona, who used to chuckle, was now completely silent. Her face was deathly pale, as if she had been covered in white wax, clearly terrified.

Perona stared at Moria with resentful eyes, feeling very wronged.

She was perfectly fine in Victor's arms, but Moria switched places with her for a moment and ignored her. In addition, the giant eagle was flying, causing her to fall onto its back. She was then blown away by the wind and fell freely from the sky.

Although Perona was young, she knew what she had just gone through because of a certain man.

The fear of almost dying is devastating.

"Hahaha!"

When Perona looked at him, Moria laughed and tilted his head slightly, avoiding her gaze, and said with an awkward smile, "Don't mind it!"

After saying this, Moria ignored Perona and his face lit up with joy; he was about to begin enjoying the fruits of his victory.

With a thought, Moria instructed the only remaining navigator shadow servant in the shadow space to bring Barrett's body out of his shadow.

"Fly slower!"

"Destination: Calm upper atmosphere!"

After bringing out the bodies of Shadow Servant and Barrett, Moria handed Perona to Shadow Servant, instructing him to command the giant eagle to fly to the Calm Belt and stop there.

At this time, Vegapunk had not yet developed the technology to allow naval warships to navigate the Calm Belt, so it was still quite safe.

It's safe for Moria, who is flying at an altitude of 5,000 meters. The Navy and pirates won't come here, and the chances of him being disturbed are slim.

puff!

After giving all the instructions, Moria lay down on the giant eagle's back, closed his eyes, and continued to absorb life energy to heal his injuries while resting.

After all, the injuries this time were quite serious, and one person's amount of life energy was not enough; it might require ten people's worth.

At the same time, Moria manipulated his shadow to begin devouring Barrett's shadow. Barrett had been dead for less than a minute, so the life energy he gained from the devouring shouldn't be significantly depleted.

"Hmm, what do you mean?"

Moria opened his eyes and frowned as he looked at the area on his left arm.

The process of absorbing Barrett's shadow had only just begun. The injuries that were originally thought to require absorbing the life energy of ten people to recover were healed after absorbing the life energy of the second person.

But this is not the kind of recovery Moria wants. He wants the kind of recovery where an arm grows back, not the kind where the broken part is covered by a layer of flesh and doesn't bleed.

"grass!"

"My hair isn't red, so why am I only one arm?!"

Sensing his empty left hand, Moria remained silent for a moment before muttering a complaint.

"We lost money!"

"I thought that as long as I was fast enough, my left hand could grow back, but I didn't expect it to not work."

Moria wasn't feeling well; he thought his arm would grow back.

Although he was fast enough, from the moment his left hand was severed to the moment he absorbed life energy to recover, the entire process took less than half a minute.

But in the end, he still couldn't grow an arm.

"Sigh!" Moria sighed deeply, "I wonder if it was worth it or a loss in the end?"

"Everything depends on how powerful I become after absorbing Barrett's shadow and gaining life energy and combat instincts!"

Now that things had come to this, Moria stopped dwelling on it and focused on devouring Barrett's shadow.

Three minutes later!

Barrett's shadow was completely swallowed up by Moria, and Barrett's body also weathered away, leaving only tattered trousers and clothes, which were blown by the wind and landed behind the giant eagle.

Barrett's combat instincts and skills were absorbed and digested by Moria, and his life energy was stored in his shadow.

"We don't yet know how strong life energy can make our physical body!"

"Barrett's combat skills and instincts are really nice!"

After digesting Barrett's combat instincts and techniques, Moria narrowed his eyes slightly.

At this moment, perhaps due to a significant improvement in his combat instincts and skills, Moria felt that his Observation Haki had become much stronger.

"I never imagined that combat skills and instincts could also enhance Observation Haki."

Moria smiled and shook his head, thinking, "Actually, when you think about it carefully, isn't the so-called battle instinct just a different kind of Observation Haki?"

In the original manga and anime, during the Skypiea battle, Luffy was completely outmatched by Enel's Observation Haki and couldn't land a single hit.

In a fit of anger, Luffy came up with a plan: he closed his eyes, didn't attack, and fought entirely based on his body's instincts.

This would prevent Enel from attacking his figure, achieving the same effect as Observation Haki.

"This creature's most primal instinctual intuition could be considered a special kind of Observation Haki," Moria chuckled.

After acquiring the combat instincts that Barrett had developed from years of constant battles, his Observation Haki became incredibly powerful, almost like he was on drugs.

Not only has his sensitivity to auras improved, but the range of his Observation Haki has also expanded considerably.

If it used to be the size of a small village, it is now the size of a small town.

"Observation Haki can be improved, so hopefully Armament Haki can also be strengthened by absorbing shadows."

Moria's lips curled up, and with a thought, he began to devour the life energy belonging to Barrett.

"So warm!"

"It felt like my whole body was inside the womb, and the cells in my body were redeveloping and growing!"

"So comfortable!"

Moria couldn't help but groan, feeling every cell in his body enjoying a relaxing spa treatment.

"I didn't expect physical evolution to be so comfortable. It didn't feel like the excruciating pain that the seniors described when they talked about physical transformation and evolution."

This was the first time Moria had experienced the comfort brought about by this physical evolution. In the past, the life energy he had absorbed might not have been as strong as his body, so he could not feel this intoxicating feeling.

"However, this also proves that Barrett's physical body is indeed very strong."

Moria smiled; it seemed that all his previous efforts had been worthwhile.

Next, Moria lay comfortably on the giant eagle's back, enjoying the pleasant and comfortable feeling brought about by physical evolution.

One day later!

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Moria, lying on the giant eagle, finally flew to the calm zone.

Let's stop here!

Moria found a stretch of sea where no island could be seen from any direction, and hovered the giant eagle in the air, making it look like a floating island.

"No one should come here, I can finally get a good night's sleep!"

The Calm Belt, the lair of the Sea Kings, should be quite safe, at least for Moria, who is five thousand meters in the air.

So Moriah closed his eyes, ready to get a good night's sleep.

"hehe!"

"hehe!"

A series of "hehe" sounds were like a demonic chant, keeping Moria awake.
