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

After making a self-deprecating remark, Moria used this to experiment with his ability to control shadows and influence physical changes.

For example, you could grow four tails between your waist and hips, like the Rin-ha tail in the anime Tokyo Ghoul.

Moria is quite obsessed with the action of fighting with his tail in that anime. Not only is it practical, but it also looks really cool.

"Clang clang clang clang!"

Moria manipulated the edges of his four tails to form blades, and with a powerful swing of his Tempest Kick, four condensed and sharp slashing waves flew towards the sea.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The waves spread out on the sea surface, creating four trenches as if cut by tofu.

"It is more condensed and sharper than the slashing wave generated by the Tempest Kick, and its destructive power is even greater."

Moria's lips curled into a slight smile as he compared the Tempest Kick he had used before.

The following day, Moria spent the uninhabited island familiarizing himself with the combat style enabled by this ability.

"From now on, this ability will be called Shadow Golden Body!"

The following morning, Moria, who had left the deserted island to fight someone, named his ability to merge with his own shadow and become a giant shadow man.

Chapter 50 The People of the New World Are Decisive (Three Polite Requests)

East China Sea!

When Moria left the deserted island, it was already noon due to the time difference. Shark Island was named after the sharks that surrounded it.

Hera and her siblings, Gormir, and Perona sat around the stone table, staring at each other with wide eyes.

It was lunchtime, but there was nothing on the stone table.

This is a very real problem!

On the fifth day after Moria left, the island ran out of rice, vegetables, fruits, fresh water, and salt.

I'm so hungry!

Perona leaned her head against the edge of the stone table, pouting, and patted her dry, ruffled stomach.

""

Hera and the other two fell silent for a moment. Although their arrival at Shark Island was rushed, the food they had stored was enough to last for ten to fifteen days.

结果

They underestimated Perona's appetite; she ate a third of the food by herself, and with Sidorro and Gormir constantly training in battle, their food consumption dropped drastically.

Five days!

The food was used up in just five days.

"Lord Moria, why aren't you back yet! I'm starving."

Perona pouted, feeling wronged. She missed the days she spent with Moria.

Perona didn't know the benefits of life energy before, but now she does. Without life energy, she needs to eat a lot of food to fill her stomach.

Previously, as long as she received a single unit of life energy, she would feel so comfortable that all she wanted to do was sleep.

Let's not talk about it now!

This is all Moria's fault!

Moria has always used ordinary life energy as a kind of red potion. When he is hungry, sleepy, or weak, he takes a dose of life energy and is instantly restored to full strength.

However, they overlooked the essential role of life energy, which is to promote physical evolution.

Perona, who had consumed at least forty portions of life energy, though none of them possessed the kind of life energy that made her physically powerful.

But it was terrifying for a three-year-old child like her.

After this period of physical evolution, even though Perona hasn't grown much taller, her physical strength is already five or six times that of an average adult male.

Unlike when she first met Moria, when she could barely use her powers, she can now frequently fly around using her Ghost-Ghost Fruit abilities.

My stamina has increased significantly!

This has led to her now having an enormous appetite, so the final result is...

They have no food to eat!

"What should we do?" Hera asked.

"We'll have to go outside and ask some pirates for help!"

Sidor's eyes flickered, even though Moria had told them not to go out.

But reality isn't a comic book. If we don't go out, we can only fish and eat meat all the time, and the problem of fresh water can only be solved by going out.

Although he and Hera could drink seawater, they were, after all, fish-people who lived in the sea.

But not Gunmier and Perona!

They can survive on meat for a month without drinking water, but given their current physical condition, they'd struggle for even three days.

“Nasidolo, come with me. We won’t be easily exposed, and if we find food, we’ll come back safely.”

Finally, Hera made a decision: she and her brother Sidoro would go out to find food, while Gamiel and Perona would stay behind.

Because they had previously judged that the Navy might deploy someone of the same caliber as Mopamoria, they dared not show themselves in towns and could only target the pirates who roamed the high seas for food.

New world!

While Hera and her brother left Shark Island to "find" food and fresh water.

Moria arrived at a storm-ravaged sea.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

Under the cover of dark clouds, the gale-force winds, like giant waves, relentlessly pounded the sea surface, whipping up wave after wave.

A large pirate ship, 200 meters long, struggled to move forward amidst the turbulent winds and waves.

High in the sky!

With dark clouds overhead and a fierce wind blowing around him, Moria also stood on the back of a giant eagle struggling to fly, silently following the pirate ship below.

"Forget it, let's not wait any longer, let's just go!"

Moria, who originally intended to wait until they reached calmer waters before making his move, decided to kill the pirates and devour their shadows as life energy.

Once I've stored up enough life energy, I'll go find Garp and have a good fight.

"Shadow Golden Body!"

With a thought, Moria immediately activated his strongest form.

That's right!

Now, the technique of merging with one's own shadow has become Moria's strongest state and his strongest move, similar to Luffy's Gear Fourth.

This is commonly known as the "ultimate move".

The New World is no ordinary sea; the pirates who can survive here are all quite strong. Therefore, Moria immediately unleashed his ultimate move, using all his strength.

"call out!"

Moria leaped off the giant eagle's back, like a vertical ballistic missile aimed directly at the pirate ship below.

"who!"

Below, on the bow deck of the pirate ship, a 2.8-meter-tall pirate captain named Morrick with flowing white hair frowned and looked up.

A massive, dark golden figure plummeted rapidly from the sky.

"They've come with ill intentions!"

Morric quickly realized that if it wasn't someone he knew, then they definitely weren't there for fun.

Without hesitation, he drew his sword and swung it upwards.

"One-Sword Style, White Hair Reaching the Sky!!!"

"Cheng!"

A pale, crescent-shaped slashing wave hurtled down from the bow of the ship as Moria fell at breakneck speed.

"People in the new world are decisive. The moment they spot someone, if they don't know them, they'll always be right to slash them first."

Moria smiled, looking relaxed as he faced the rapidly approaching crescent-shaped slash. He clenched his right fist, gathered Armament Haki to harden it, and raised it to his chest. Just as the slash was about to strike, he swung it outwards.

"Clang!"

The sharp crescent-shaped slash wave was knocked away by his punch, veering to his side.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate!"

As Moria fell, a smirk appeared on his lips, and his dark golden right hand rose behind him, transforming into a sharp blade.

"Storm Hand, Wave Slash!"

Before he could finish speaking, Moria, using the momentum of his fall, swung his sword down with force.

"Cheng!"

A bluish-white slash wave, powerful enough to slice a 200-meter-long pirate ship in two from bow to stern, shot out from Moria's swung blade.

"not good!"

Upon seeing this, Moric's expression changed instantly; he knew he had encountered a powerful opponent.

With his legs pressed down, Moric leaped into the air and flew towards the massive slashing wave.

At the same time, grip the knife handle tightly with both hands and swing it upwards forcefully.

"One-Sword Style, Three Thousand Feet of White Hair!"

"Clang!"

Morric's hands gripped his longsword tightly, colliding fiercely with the massive slashing wave unleashed by Moria.

"Kazkaz!"

Morrick's face paled slightly, and the terrifying force from his hands made them tremble, almost causing him to drop the knife hilt.

The immense force continued to surge towards him, and the slashing wave, instead of being repelled, propelled his body downwards.
