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

“It feels strange,” Moria suddenly smiled.

The feeling of controlling his shadow to carry him through the air reminded him of a superb light-body skill he had seen in his previous life.

It's like stepping on your right foot with your left foot, then stepping on your left foot with your right foot, using top-tier lightness skills that even Newton's law of universal gravitation can't hold you back.

"Should we take the risk?" Moria looked in the direction where Kaido and Kozuki Oden were fighting, licked his dry lips, and was somewhat tempted.

According to the plot, Kozuki Oden will die, and if you devour his shadow within an hour of his death, before his energy dissipates, you will succeed.

Moria's strength will skyrocket. A great swordsman who can leave an incurable wound on Kaido, one of the future Four Emperors and known as the strongest creature in the sea, land, and air, is worth the risk.

But

Boom!

Boom!

Over there in the sky, a gigantic azure dragon from the east was coiled up, spewing out all sorts of flames and breath wildly. It was clearly infected with the coronavirus and was taking revenge on society.

"Ugh!"

"Who would have thought that such a realistic Eastern dragon would be turned into a fish by Wei Tian?"

Moria smiled inwardly as he recalled seeing the message in his past life.

I don't know if it's because I wrote too many One Piece fanfics in my past life, but I wrote about all the different kinds of Dragon Fruits that Wei Tian had prepared.

When pushed to the limit, he hardened his heart and pulled off a "carp leaping over the dragon gate" move, forcibly turning the Dragon-Dragon Fruit into the Fish-Fish Fruit, leaving everyone completely dumbfounded.

Boom!

The towering flames surged like the turbulent waves of the sea, one after another.

Clang clang clang!

Various sharp slashing waves also surged wildly in the sea of ​​fire, cutting the dark clouds in the sky into pieces.

The battle was still intense, a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse. Seeing this, Moria pinched his thigh, feeling it wasn't big enough.

Let's leave first. We're not strong enough; there's no need to take risks.

Moria didn't want to endure the daily whipping anymore.

"Hmm, this way is easier to travel!" After glancing at the direction where Kaido and Kozuki Oden were fighting, Moria wisely turned around and chose to fly in the opposite direction.

A short while later!

As Moria approached the coastline of Wano Country and prepared to continue flying away, his expression shifted, and his Observation Haki detected a chilling aura.

"There's treasure!"

"We must be destined to be together!"

With that thought in mind, Moria fell downwards.

Below, two pirates are running towards the shore, one of them holding a sword, and a chilling aura is emanating from the sword.

bump!

Moria braced himself on his knee with one hand and on the ground with the other, landing in the path of the two pirates in a classic Iron Man style.

The shadow that had transformed into the Iron Throne receded beneath his feet like splashed ink, returning to its ordinary form.

"Attack!" The moment they saw Moria, the two pirates drew their swords and slashed at him.

Moria was stunned. The young man had no martial ethics. He didn't even greet the other person before drawing his knife and attacking.

But I like it!

With a thought, Moria unleashed two sharp shadow spears from beneath his shadow when the two pirates were still three meters away.

The two pirates were probably just small fry. Before they could react, it was as if they had run into a shadow spear. The shadow spear pierced their chests, leaving them feeling cold and exhilarated. They died with their eyes wide open after only a few struggles.

Zizi!

Retracting his power, Moria knelt down next to a pirate and looted the corpse, successfully finding a black sword.

"Is this a plot correction tape?" Moria drew his black sword, looked at the familiar patterns on it, and smiled.

The black sword is named Shusui, a national treasure of Wano Country, and the sword of the great swordsman Ryuma.

In the original story, it seems that Moria stole him along with his body.

Moria traveled through time and never intended to steal the Black Sword, but fate still gave it to Gecko Moria.

Although he doesn't know how to use a knife, since he found it, he figured it was meant to be.

"Perfect, how about trying out one of the most prominent characteristics of Paramecia-type abilities after awakening!"

Moria planted the Black Blade Shusui in the ground, casting a shadow in the sunlight. He crouched down, grabbed the shadow of Shusui, and pulled it out.

"Not bad!" Moria smiled.

Although he awakened his Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability, he did not gain the ability to turn surrounding matter into shadows like Doflamingo did.

But his ability to steal human shadows, which he could only do before awakening, has transformed into the ability to steal non-human shadows.

The logic is similar; both are abilities that can influence the surrounding matter, except that the Shadow-Shadow Fruit only affects the shadows of matter.

Looking at the sun in the sky, Moria didn't tear off the shadow of the Black Blade Autumn Water. Otherwise, when exposed to the sunlight, the Black Blade Autumn Water would dissipate without its shadow, and the shadow of the Black Blade Autumn Water in his hand would also disappear.

So let's try devouring it!

Moria was curious about what he would gain after absorbing the shadow of the Black Blade Shusui.

He controlled the shadow to attach itself to the shadow of Black Blade Autumn Water and began to devour it.

Unlike when a person's shadow is devoured, causing them to wither and turn to ashes, Black Blade Autumn Water did not wither. Instead, it faded, gradually becoming transparent, and disappeared completely when the shadow was fully devoured.

Moria reached out and grabbed at it; it wasn't completely transparent, it had truly vanished, there was nothing there.

"That's not right either!"

Moria's expression shifted slightly as he sensed the unusual nature of the shadow, and a thought struck him.

A black sword called Qiushui, made from shadow, slowly rose from the shadow beneath him.

Moria drew his sword and flicked the Shadow Blade Autumn Water, producing a clanging metallic sound.

"So this is the Black Blade Shusui!" Moria laughed.

Moria put down the Shadow Blade Autumn Water and merged it into his own shadow. Then Moria separated the shadow and formed an identical version of himself. He stepped forward and knocked on it, which also produced a "clanging" metallic clang.

Haha!

Moria was very satisfied with this awakened ability. After his shadow devoured the shadow of the Black Blade Shusui, he gained all of Shusui's characteristics, such as hardness, toughness, and sharpness.

In short, Moria's shadow now possesses the same material as the black sword Shusui.

And

Looking at his own shadow opposite him, Moria noticed that the shadow seemed to be a little larger than him.

Or rather, it's a little bigger than when it hadn't absorbed the shadow of Black Blade Autumn Water; this extra bit should be the shadow of Black Blade Autumn Water.

To summarize this ability, it is to devour the shadows of non-living things, allowing the shadows to acquire non-living characteristics and increasing their strength and size.

It is currently unknown whether, if a shadow such as a bubble is swallowed, the shadow itself will also turn into a bubble and crumble at the slightest touch.

Moria thought it was unlikely, but he didn't dare to try it recklessly.

In short, the greatest use of this ability is to enhance the strength of the shadow. Moria felt that he should devour the hardest substance in the world to make his shadow invincible in defense.

When asked what the hardest substance in the world is, Moria's first thought is the Historiography, as legend has it that every Historiography is indestructible.

If this legend is true, and it can swallow up the true shadow of history, then...

Just thinking about it makes me so happy!

This is Moriah's next goal: to find the History of the Right and Hallows.

As for how to unravel the blank century of history without the original history, what does that have to do with him? If he found Zelda, Moria would have even devoured the original history along the red roadside.

However, looking back at Kaido's side now, Moria felt that he should leave as soon as possible.

This time, instead of showing off by sitting on the Iron Throne, he controlled the shadow to attach itself to his body and then manipulated the shadow to fly at high speed towards the Land of the Rising Sun.

Just now, Moria suddenly sensed that the battle on Kaido's side had stopped, guessing that the battle must be over and he had to leave quickly.

With his current strength, in a place like Wano Country where Seastone is abundant, he could easily be controlled by it, rendering his ability to switch bodies with his shadow useless.

Chapter 04: Take Down This Loser

A few years after Roger's death, the Great Pirate Era was at its most fervent.

Heroes from all corners of the world gather in the New World, along with several surviving members of the Rocks Pirates.

During this period, Shiki retired, and Whitebeard became the sole ruler of the New World.

Although Kaido and Big Mom are both famous and strong, they are quietly developing their respective bases and have not yet shown the powerful strength of the future Four Emperors who will dominate the New World.

Or rather, neither of them can do it at this stage, not to mention Wang Zhi and Captain John, who also belong to the Rocks Pirates. Even the likes of Bullet and some of the strong individuals who emerged during this period are not to be underestimated.

It can be said that at this time, the New World is a veritable graveyard for pirates.

Every day there is fighting, between the navy and pirates, between pirates and pirates, between pirates and some New World countries.

During this period, the goals of most pirates were similar: to become the Pirate King.

Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, defeating Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, and other famous pirates in the New World to prove their strength naturally became the choice of many pirates.

at this time!

On the high seas near the outskirts of Wano Country, a large pirate ship flying a pirate flag with two long crescent-shaped fangs and a skull is heading towards Wano Country.

There were over two hundred people on board, making it a fairly large pirate crew.

Their goal, like Gecko Moria's before, is to defeat Kaido.

"Captain Victor, there's a big black bird ahead!"

"where?"

A burly man, three meters tall with thick facial hair, snatched the binoculars from his underling and looked in the direction the pirate ship was heading.

In their line of sight, a black man was flying towards them at high speed.

"He's an ability user!"
