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

"Barrett's death and the destruction of the John Pirates were such a huge event that the news spread throughout the world in an instant. How could we not have heard about it?"

"Yes!"

"In particular, the complete annihilation of the John Pirates has shocked the entire New World. Haven't you noticed that there are far fewer pirates coming to our country recently?"

"This is all thanks to the navy's deterrent power!"

Inside the hotel, the moment the topic of Vico Island came up, everyone's enthusiasm was instantly ignited, and they began to discuss it animatedly, turning the entire lobby into a bustling marketplace.

Three days ago!

After Moria escaped, the Shadows CP0 were quickly killed by Akainu and Zephyr. Zephyr then joined Garp's side of the battlefield, while Akainu joined Aokiji's side.

Kaido sensed something was wrong when he saw that Moria had left and Zephyr had arrived.

Without being stubborn, after exchanging a single blow with Sengoku, he transformed into a dragon and departed from the sky.

Sengoku didn't pursue him. Kaido may not be as strong as him, but he's definitely durable and can fly. It's unrealistic to try and keep Kaido, who is determined to leave.

But Kaido's departure had a significant impact: when the John Pirates wanted to leave, they couldn't, as Sengoku, who was now free to help, held them off.

the other side.

At a crucial moment, Katakuri's Observation Haki broke through to the point where he could briefly see into the future, foreseeing Akainu's arrival and knowing that Moria had already left Vic Island.

They fought and retreated simultaneously!

Aokiji and the others didn't stop them too much; if they were serious, they could have kept Katakuri at bay.

With one move, Ice Age froze the ocean, and very few of Katakuri and his crew would be able to escape.

However, considering that Charlotte Linlin is still alive, the Navy is wary of Big Mom's retaliation, especially in this era of rampant piracy.

The navy cannot afford such a high price; it's not worth it.

So Katakuri led his brothers and sisters to a safe retreat.

After Aokiji and the others dealt with the Shadow Servants, they turned around and attacked the John Pirates.

Just think back to that time, what kind of plastic surgery did the navy on Vico Island undergo!

Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr are all strongmen who can fight against Whitebeard and Roger. In addition, there are the three new generation monsters of the Navy: Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji.

It can be said that it has both offensive and offensive capabilities, as well as speed and control.

Even Whitebeard would weep at such a lineup.

Moreover, the John Pirates were completely stunned when Zephyr appeared.

The addition of an admiral is like adding another strong shackle to the John Pirates, firmly locking them on Vico Island with no hope of escape.

Finally, the John Pirates fought the Navy with all their might, and all of them perished in the battle.

Only Captain John's treasure has been revealed, making Bucky the God of War drool.

bump!

In the hotel lobby, the crowd that had been excitedly discussing the Vico Island Buster Order incident fell silent.

Looking over at the sound, one could see the young man who had initially sparked the conversation slapping a wanted poster onto the most prominent blackboard in the middle of the lobby with an expression of adoration.

"The reason why so many terrifyingly powerful individuals gather on the small island of Vico is because of this man. Navy, pirates, and sea monsters."

The young man introduced, "The great pirate, the actor Gecko Moria, with a bounty of 1,020 million Berries!"

"This is a man with keen intelligence. First, in the pirate town under John's pirate crew, he seemed to unintentionally reveal his intention to hunt Barrett."

Then, he used all the pirates in the pirate-hunting town to bolster his shadow servant army, while also revealing his shadow servant abilities.

The young man raised his head, like a devout believer, and said, "By using the terrifying power of the Shadow Servants, we can attract the attention of powerful figures like Kaido, Captain John, and Big Mom."

"Finally, on Vico Island, all the previous intentional or unintentional arrangements ultimately led to the situation where Kaido, the John Pirates, and Katakuri of the Big Mom Pirates gathered on Vico Island."

"The Navy had to divide its forces to deal with this terrible situation."

"And this was a situation that the man had anticipated from the beginning."

At this point, the young man said excitedly, "Without a doubt, the movie star Gecko Moria is the most dazzling man in this Vic Island Buster Call incident, and he truly deserves the title of movie star."

"Looking at this man's two appearances, although the time was very short, the opponents he faced were all very famous figures."

"In his first appearance, he escaped unscathed from the combined attack of Kizaru, Akainu, Aokiji, and Vice Admiral Garp, the Marine hero."

"In his second appearance, he was ambushed by Marine Admiral Zephyr, and at the cost of losing an arm, he killed Douglas Bullet, a descendant of the devil and a crew member of the Pirate King, and took him away."

At this point, the young man looked around and saw that everyone in the hall was listening quietly, and a surge of pride welled up in his heart.

"Therefore, looking at the entire Buster Call incident on Vico Island, the biggest winner is undoubtedly the great pirate who meticulously planned and ultimately killed Bullet, leading to the destruction of the John Pirates, the master of deception, Gecko Moria!"

terrible!

This was the most immediate feeling everyone had about Moria after hearing the young man's words.

Moriah gave them the impression of being a cunning schemer, a decisive person who would take action to achieve his goals, and a ruthless individual willing to sacrifice even his own arm to reach them.

He can be described as a ruthless and decisive tyrant.

A bounty of 1.02 billion Berries is enough to demonstrate the Navy's fear of Moria.

Be nice!

If Moria hadn't been there, he would have called that young man the most imaginative person.

What the hell is this "strategic planning"? He was just taking things one step at a time, and yet he was hailed as a powerful figure and even given the title of "Best Actor"!

"Ah la la la!"

On a calm stretch of sea in the New World, aboard the Moby Whale, Whitebeard tossed a wanted poster into the air and chuckled, "Another troublesome fellow has appeared on this ocean. The Navy must be having a real headache with abilities like Shadow Servant."

Marco, who was standing nearby, took the bounty poster that was thrown at him and asked with a frown, "Dad, are that guy's shadow servants really as terrible as the reports say?"

To be honest, Marco still doesn't quite believe that Moria's shadow servant can retain all the strength he had before his death.

Most importantly, the Shadow Servant could even retain Armament Haki and Observation Haki, powers that only living people could possess, which made Marco very suspicious.

"Yeah, Dad, I heard that the Shadow Servant can even retain Armament Haki. That's something that ordinary Devil Fruit abilities can't do!"

At this point, the Third Division Captain, Diamond George, said solemnly, "Three days ago, Moria took Barrett's body away. If what the reports say is true, then he now has a real-life Barrett with a Logia-type fluid body by his side."

terrible!

Barrett is already very strong, and a Barrett with a Logia-type fluid body will only become stronger.

Those surrounding Whitebeard all looked grave after hearing this. If it was really as the report said, then Moria was a huge threat.

In the future battle for the title of Pirate King, Moria will definitely be a formidable rival to the Whitebeard Pirates.

"The Shadow-Shadow Fruit has such a terrifying ability?"

In the corner, the quiet Blackbeard Teach's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then vanished instantly.

At this time, Blackbeard was still an honest and unassuming member of the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, after glancing at the bounty poster in Marco's hand, this honest man added another target to his list of Devil Fruits he wanted to acquire in the future.

"Ah la la la!"

The white-bearded man laughed and said indifferently, "Regardless of whether what the report says is true or false, that brat is just a nuisance. This vast ocean can contain everything, and it can also devour everything."

For Whitebeard, even Rocks, that man, ultimately failed.

It's just Moria. No matter how strong the Shadows are, they're nothing compared to his devastating Tremor-Tremor Fruit power. They're weaker than him, so numbers don't matter.

The white-bearded man laughed and said, "So don't worry too much about others. I'm here for you. I won't let anyone hurt you."

"Dad"

"And us too, we will protect you to the death!"

Hearing Whitebeard's earnest and caring words, Marco and the others were deeply moved, saying things like they would also protect their father.

Their fear of Moria's shadow servant abilities was instantly forgotten.

after all!

Whitebeard's power is so deeply ingrained in people's minds that they can't yet grasp the meaning of a hero's decline.

Only when the story begins do they regret not taking down Moria from the start, leading to nightmares every day about Whitebeard being turned into a shadow servant by Moria, who then turns around and wipes them all out.

Calm Belt!

The outside world was full of chaos and confusion, which Moria was unaware of.

Five thousand meters in the air, he stood steadily on the back of the giant eagle, like an iron mountain, his muscles as if they were cast from steel, condensed and taut.

He simply kept his eyes closed and made no move, yet a powerful aura, like that of an ancient, primordial beast, constantly surrounded him.

suddenly!

Moria opened his eyes, and a fierce aura instantly spread from his body. It wasn't Conqueror's Haki, but it was incredibly oppressive.

Influenced by this aura, Perona shrank back in the Shadow Servant's arms, her fearful eyes cautiously watching Moria, as if afraid of disturbing a man-eating beast.

Teng!

Moria clenched his right fist, gathering Armament Haki, and after sensing it for a moment, shook his head.

"This is far from what I expected!" Moria pouted, clearly dissatisfied.

The increase in the hardening intensity of Armament Haki was not significant, and it was far inferior to the Observation Haki that had been enhanced by absorbing Barrett's combat instincts and skills.

"It seems that physical strength cannot directly increase the strength of Armament Haki!" Moria shook his head regretfully, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Over these three days, the physical evolution resulting from absorbing Barrett's life energy was finally completed.

He got what he wanted, obtaining a body that was no more powerful than Barrett's.

However, his Armament Haki did not become as strong as Barrett's due to his powerful physique; it was only 0.1 times stronger than his original level.

Having experienced the intensity of Armament Haki of Garp and Zephyr, Moria knew that he was still far from reaching that level.

"Thinking about it, if whoever has the strongest physical body has the strongest Armament Haki, then Kaido and Charlotte Linlin's Armament Haki must be the strongest."

"However, the truth is that Garp, Roger, and others have the strongest Armament Haki, but their physical strength is not as strong as Charlotte Linlin and Kaido."

"However, a strong physical body does not mean that Armament Haki is not enhanced."
