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

"Moreover, you will gain not only wealth, but also immense power."

Skoda gave a long and passionate speech, but Moria remained unmoved.

And immense power?

With such immense power, why would you need to bow and scrape before a mere naval division admiral? With such immense power, you could simply have warships escort you; why would you need to beg me to protect you?

They still wanted to use the Celestial Dragons' intimidation to force them to submit.

Ha ha!

Moria gave Skoda a double entendre, then turned and continued walking away without looking back.

"grown ups"

"roll!"

Skoda wanted to persist, but Moria gave a soft sound, and an invisible aura erupted from him.

Skoda froze as if possessed by a demon, watching Moria leave in terror.

Only after Moria disappeared from sight did they scramble away in a panic.

"Have you heard?"

"In six months, it will be time for the garrison rotation in Impel Down, which happens every four years."

Impel Down?

Guard relocation?

On the straight road leading to the outer port, Moria noticed the conversation between two naval soldiers walking towards him.

As I slowed my pace, I overheard the conversation between the two soldiers.

"Ugh!"

"This time, our East China Sea branch was allocated two thousand slots."

"Why are there so many more this time?"

"I don't know. The only thing I do know is that Impel Down will definitely see a lot of pirates moving in soon."

"Damn pirates, why not just kill them? Why send them to Impel Down? They've created so many spots this time, what if someone gets selected?"

He spent four years in Impel Down, that dark and gloomy place, without any holidays, unable to contact his family, and unaware that his wife and children had run off with someone else.

"Who can argue with that! Luckily, my wife has never abandoned me and has always been by my side."

""

Why are you looking at me like that?

"No! Your wife is doing great. By the way, do you know whether the allocation of guard rotation slots this time was done by lottery or roll call?"

"do not know!"

"If it's a roll call, I'll have to pull some strings. I absolutely can't be chosen. My wife won't be attached to my right hand."

The voices of the two naval soldiers gradually faded into the distance, and Moria also walked out of the straight road and came to the port avenue.

I turned around and glanced at the plaque that read "Headquarters of the East China Sea Naval Branch".

Moria thought that six months later, he could come and apply for a job in the Navy with Rear Admiral Elon.

"On the condition that he wants a spot to rotate guards at Impel Down."

Traveling in a small boat, far from the naval headquarters, in a sea where no other ships could be seen, Moria stored the boat in his shadow space.

Then, the moonlit path ascended into the sky, landing on the back of the giant eagle, and then flew up to an altitude of 5,000 meters.

"Lord Jack, I'm hungry!"

Perona, like a lazy cat, lay on the giant eagle's back, listlessly indicating that it was time to eat.

"I'm skipping food today; let this give you life energy!"

As he spoke, Moria channeled life energy into Perona through his shadow.

"Let's go back to the naval branch headquarters!" Moria ordered the giant eagle.

call out!

The giant eagle traced an arc, carrying Moria back to the naval division headquarters.

"Since I didn't agree to his offer, the general manager of that Beauty Merchant Guild will probably go looking for other bounty hunters."

"In terms of time, they should still be at the East China Sea Naval Branch."

Moria reasoned that this time, he would go back to follow the middle-aged man from the Beauty Merchant Guild, find their transport ships, and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

"However, his identity needs to be changed. Jack will have to become a righteous and righteous Marine and rotate through Impel Down. He can't do something like attacking merchant ships."

With that thought in mind, Moria had a sudden idea and instructed his shadow servant to move Perona aside so that he wouldn't see him.

Then, controlling the shadow's transformations, it simultaneously devoured ten portions of life energy.

Not long after!

A handsome man, five meters tall with a well-proportioned body and a face that swayed between the two most handsome men, Wu and Wu, appeared on the back of the giant eagle.

The only thing that doesn't quite match the cool factor is that the clothes aren't the magic ones; they look like beggar's clothes.

Fortunately, Moria was prepared and took out the clothes he had prepared from the shadow space and put them on.

"Next, please enjoy an Oscar-worthy performance!"

Moria smiled, and now he suddenly understood why the Navy had given him the title of "Best Actor".

"How should I address you now, sir?"

Perona peeked her cute head out from the shadow servant's shoulder and asked curiously.

"Um"

Moria pondered for a moment, then said softly with longing, "Let's call him Mopa!"

"Lord Mopar!"

Perona looked at Moria's face and figure at this moment, memorizing every word so that she wouldn't call him by the wrong name in the future, lest Moria withhold food from her and leave her hungry.

shhhhh!

The giant eagle was very fast, and in no time, Moria returned to the East China Sea Naval Branch Headquarters, but this time at an altitude of 5,000 meters.

"Check if they've left yet."

Moria took out his binoculars and looked down at the naval headquarters.

"what!"

"Pretty fast!"

Upon arriving at the naval branch headquarters, Moria noticed through his binoculars that a large merchant ship, 200 meters long, was gradually sailing out of the harbor.

The former general manager of the Beauty Merchant Guild, Skoda, was on the deck of the ship, discussing something with a dozen or so bounty hunters.

Afterwards, as if he had understood something, Skoda went into his cabin and closed the door.

"It seems the so-called important goods are in that cabin!"

Moria withdrew his telescope and had the giant eagle follow the merchant ship below.

"I wonder what kind of slaves they are that would make the general manager recruit more than a dozen bounty hunters at once."

"It will take at least ten days to half a month to get from here to Loguetown, and that's assuming the voyage goes smoothly the whole way. If we have to stop for rest or encounter pirates along the way..."

"Don't even think about going to Loguetown in less than a month!"

"With such a long time involved, plus the risks along the way, no bounty hunter would take this job for less than ten million Berries."

"If you calculate it all, a dozen or so bounty hunters would amount to more than 100 million Berries."

"They're really generous!" Moria exclaimed, admiring the generosity of the Beauty Merchant Guild.

But isn't the general manager of the Beauty Chamber of Commerce afraid of being double-crossed?

If this happened in some remote sea area, and these bounty hunters were to steal from the bounty hunters, the bounty hunters would lose both their lives and their wealth.

"Perhaps those bounty hunters were frightened by the Celestial Dragons."

Ha ha!

Moria smiled, thinking of Skoda, the general manager of the Beauty Chamber of Commerce, and his boastful words.

It must be said that the name of the Celestial Dragons is indeed enough to frighten many people in this world.

"But you can't scare me!"

Moria smiled and continued to follow the merchant ship on the back of the giant eagle, preparing to make his move at night.

It's about 2 PM now, still early!

"We lost a lot of money this time!"

"At least 100 million Berries!"

In a room on the merchant ship, Skoda, the general manager of the Beauty Merchant Guild, who was unaware that his merchant ship had been targeted by Moria, was calculating something on the table while muttering to himself with a pained expression.

"It's all that wretched bounty hunter, the pirate Devourer Jack."

"If that bastard hadn't killed Tiger Hank, I wouldn't be in such a passive position."

Skoda cursed Moria in his heart.

The Tiger Pirates have always been their partners in transporting "goods," and this time the goods will also be handed over to the Tiger Pirates.

They had all made arrangements, but a week ago, the Tiger Pirates encountered Moria and were wiped out.

This forced the beautiful Skoda to seek help from the bounty hunter at the gold exchange.

He initially had his eye on Moria's disguise as Jack, and was thinking he could easily recruit Moria for a few tens of millions.

Moria refused, so he had no choice but to find a few more bounty hunters, since not everyone is as ruthless as Moria, who can make pirates hide.

However, this made Skoda feel like they were losing out.
