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

"what happened?"

Opening his eyes, Moria looked helplessly at Perona in the Shadow Servant's arms.

"hehe!"

Perona's face was pale, her lips were chapped, and she rubbed her belly with both hands, letting out a "heh heh" protest at Moria.

"What do you mean?"

"It's just that I almost made you fall from a height of 5,000 meters. I saved you in the end, didn't I?"

Moria shrugged and said irritably, "Is it really necessary to be so scared that your face has been pale all this time, and it seems to be getting worse?"

""

Perona stared wide-eyed at Moria, opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a sound.

"Don't bother me if there's nothing wrong!" Moria closed his eyes again.

"hehe!"

"hehe!"

Seeing that Moria was about to sleep again, Perona got anxious and kept making "hehe" sounds as she attacked him.

"I can't hear you! I can't hear you! I can't hear you!" Moria kept hypnotizing himself.

Moria's strong willpower quickly made him get used to Perona's "hehe" sounds, just as he was getting used to falling asleep.

"Oh no!!!" Perona uttered the words with difficulty.

Teng!

Moria snapped out of his drowsiness, sat up straight, looked at Perona, and asked excitedly, "You just spoke???"

"hehe!"

"It was just an illusion!" Moria closed his eyes and lay back down.

I'm hungry!

Teng!

Moria flipped himself to his feet. This time he heard clearly, and looked at Perona, who was also looking at him with joy, and said, "You can finally talk!"

""

Perona's joyful expression froze instantly. Then, she opened her chapped lips and said through gritted teeth, "I'm hungry!"

Moria's joyful expression froze.

Looking at Perona, who was constantly rubbing her lower abdomen, and then at her chapped lips, pale face, and listless appearance, I could see that she was weak and listless.

Moria was embarrassed, touching the little curved horn on his head, as if he had made a big mistake.

Perona hasn't eaten since the night before last.

Of course, he didn't eat it himself, but he has life energy.

Life energy is like a concentrated nutrient solution, it's all essence, keeping Moria's body in a state of fullness, never feeling hungry, and in very good health.

So he never thought about finding food, and since Shadow Servants don't need to eat either, he forgot that there was also a Perona that needed to be fed.

I'm hungry!

Perona spoke again, this time her words flowed smoothly.

She had no choice; she was afraid that if she said anything wrong, she would starve to death by this mysterious man.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll find you something to eat right away."

Moria replied awkwardly, then began to think about how to find food for Perona.

Looking at the boundless sea all around, Moria's lips twitched, realizing he had made a mistake.

Why did we come here?

Moria felt a pang of regret; in this vast ocean, there wasn't a single island. How was he supposed to find food?

"Fly back, to the new world!"

In the end, Moria could only have the giant eagle turn around and fly back to the island, and then make some food for Perona.

"Ugh!"

"You should have told me sooner. Where am I supposed to find you something to eat right now?"

Moria had a headache, but looking at Perona, who had closed her eyes and was not speaking, he suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"This little guy, I don't know what he's been through before, he doesn't tell me he's hungry, he doesn't make a fuss, he just endures it!"

Judging from Perona's appearance, it was clear that her body had reached its limit before she spoke to Moria; otherwise, she might have continued to endure it.

"This kind of behavior—preferring to go hungry rather than complain when others don't feed you—looks familiar!"

Moria frowned, thinking of the little human slave girl in the original story who was taken aboard the ship by Fisher Tiger, who, like Perona now, endured everything.

"To achieve this level, one cannot develop such an almost instinctive behavioral habit without going through a period of painful torment."

Looking at Perona, who was now completely exhausted, Moria felt a surge of anger, but it quickly dissipated.

Moria looked somber as he thought about what he had done on Vico Island.

In essence, he wasn't a good person either. He would also attack civilians to increase his strength, which made him not much different from those slave traders who trafficked Perona.

"Perhaps in the Navy's eyes, someone like me is scum too!" Moria thought to himself with a self-deprecating laugh.

"Forget it, once we become stronger, we probably won't have the opportunity to attack civilians like this anymore."

Moria shook her head, deciding to let go of her resentment. If she wasn't a good person, then so be it. In this dog-eat-dog world, she should just live as she pleased.

"This little guy must have had a tough time before!"

Seeing Perona's pale face, Moria frowned, then relaxed his brow and sighed, "After this, I'll make sure you're settled in!"

It was clearly inappropriate for Perona to continue following him; he was going to continue hunting powerful individuals, a process that would be far from smooth and would be very dangerous.

Moreover, if she continues to follow him, she will definitely be wanted by the Navy, and then Perona will be in danger.

He could use the move of switching places with the Shadow Servant to escape, but Perona wouldn't do that.

"so"

"We need to send Perona to live in a sea with fewer pirates."

Moria already had an idea about this sea area.

But for now, let's think about how to solve Perona's food problem.

"This little guy has held on until now, but his body has reached its limit, and he doesn't have time to look for food anymore."

Only a few minutes had passed since they set off from the giant eagle to fly back to the New World, but Perona seemed to be on the verge of collapse and needed to eat something immediately.

"How to do?"

Moria frowned, unable to think of a way to solve Perona's food problem.

"or"

"Try the life energy!"

Looking at Perona's shadow in the sunlight, Moria muttered to himself, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

"It should work!!"

After thinking it over, Moria's expression hardened. He decided to act quickly and manipulated his shadow to merge into Perona's shadow.

"Hmm, what's this?"

Moria raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised. After his shadow merged into Perona's shadow, he sensed Perona's psychological emotions, and even something deeper.

"Perhaps it can still be modified!"

Moria had a feeling that he could modify Perona's shadow to make it his shadow servant, and then control Perona through the shadow servant, achieving an effect similar to mind control.

"In other words, as long as I modify and control Perona's shadow, Perona will obey him just like the other shadow servants."

"Good heavens, this is incredible!" Moria chuckled sinisterly.

"This is the ability that the big boss behind the scenes loves most!"

Although Moria wasn't the mastermind behind it all, he really liked this ability.

"It's decided, let's develop this ability first."

Having made up his mind, Moria quickly channeled his life energy into Perona's shadow through his own.

It went very smoothly; the life energy was naturally absorbed by Perona's body. It seemed that Perona's shadow absorbing the life energy was equivalent to her body absorbing the life energy.

This also shows that Moriah's ability to control living people by modifying their shadows is based on the special connection between the shadows and the living people.

This special connection is what enables the ability to control the shadow's master through the control of the shadow.

"The next step is to conduct more experiments; we should be able to develop this ability," Moria thought to himself.

quickly!

Having absorbed life energy, Perona's complexion returned to a rosy hue, and her aura became healthier.

However, the little guy was asleep and hadn't woken up. His little mouth was opening and closing, clearly dreaming of all sorts of delicious food and enjoying himself immensely.

Moria smiled and said to the giant eagle beneath him, "Return to the original position!"

In the blink of an eye!

Two days passed, and three days had passed since Moria left Vico Island.

For the past three days, Moria has been staying peacefully in the Calm Belt, waiting for his physical evolution to be completed, unaware that the outside world is in an uproar because of the incident on Vico Island.

"Hey! Hey!"

"Have you heard about the Vico Island massacre three days ago?"

In the lobby of a hotel in a city in a certain country in the New World, at lunchtime, when all sorts of people were gathered, a young man in a corner suddenly asked excitedly.

"How could I not have heard of it!"
