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

"That's quite a pleasant surprise!"

Moria smiled and happily returned all the shadow servants to the shadow space.

"Boss, this guy's still alive, what do we do with him?" Ike asked, dragging Gomez to Moria's side.

"Put it down!"

Moria raised his eyes and gestured for Ike to put Gomez on the ground.

"bump!"

Ike did as he was told and put Gomez down.

At this point, Gomez had already lost consciousness, or rather, was on the verge of death, his consciousness fading away.

The only evidence that Gomez was still alive was the slight rise and fall of his chest.

"What incredible vitality!"

Moria remarked that his Observation Haki perception had become even more acute after getting closer to Gomez.

If his assessment is correct, as long as no one lays a hand on Gomez, he can recover on his own by simply lying there.

This level of recovery ability is almost comparable to that of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user after awakening.

"Should we give this guy a spot for shadow enslavement?"

Moria pondered as he looked at Gomez on the ground.

He is very optimistic about Gomez's potential. As long as he continues to grow, it is hard to say that he will be able to rival a Navy Admiral in the future, but he is hopeful that he will be able to match him. At least he will not be defeated by an Admiral in a short period of time.

Furthermore, given Gomez's ability to corrupt people's minds with his murderous intent, it's not impossible that he could defeat a Marine Admiral.

"So let's just devour the shadow!"

With a thought, Moria controlled his shadow to transform into a shadow spear, which pierced Gomez's head and killed him. Then, he began to devour Gomez's shadow.

Although Gomez's future holds many possibilities, none are as alluring to Moria as his terrifying physical regenerative abilities.

That's right!

Compared to the power of the intent to kill to erode one's mind.

What Moria values ​​now is Gomez's terrifying physical regenerative abilities.

Moria's current strength, speed, and defense are not much worse than anyone else's.

Only the body's self-healing ability remains at an average level.

Therefore, Moria needs to store up enough life energy before each major battle, because his injuries have a weak self-healing ability and he needs life energy to recover.

Now, as long as he absorbs Gomez's shadow and gains powerful physical regeneration, he won't need to take drugs while fighting.

At least you won't need to take drugs so frequently, your combat stamina will be stronger, and consequently, your physical body will become stronger as well.

"The ultimate goal is to have no weaknesses!"

Moria knew very well that on the path to becoming the strongest, having no weaknesses was the only way to achieve true strength.

Chapter 86 Swordsmanship That Can Cut Through Nothing (Politely requesting collection and recommendation)

Not long after.

Gomez's body vanished, and his shadow was completely devoured by Moria.

This time, Moria not only coveted Gomez's physical talent, but also his swordsmanship as a swordsman.

Therefore, when Moria devoured Gomez's shadow this time, he didn't eliminate his combat skills and instincts; he devoured them all together.

Now, Moria is also a swordsman who has mastered the Breath of All Things.

even

Feeling the power surging within him, Moria couldn't help but summon a black sword, Shusui, made of shadow, which flew automatically into his hand.

This black sword, Shusui, is 3.2 meters long, which is a perfect match for Moria, whose body has now grown to nearly 5 meters tall.

Even if it doesn't fit, Moria can control the length of the black sword to make it longer or shorter, so it will eventually fit.

"Uh?"

"Could it be that you're a swordsman, boss?"

Ike and the others, who were watching Moria closely, saw him gripping the hilt of his sword and immediately asked in confusion.

In their minds, Moria always fought with his bare hands; they had never heard of Moria using a knife.

Only the CP0 undercover agent, Night Owl, knew that Moria used to use a knife, and was quite skilled with a sword.

However, for some reason, he failed to challenge Kaido and was captured, eventually escaping from Wano Country.

Moria never used a knife again, which has left many people wondering why.

"Perhaps today we'll find out why Moria abandoned his sword for his fists!"

Night Owl's expression hardened slightly, then he slowly took a step back, hiding behind the group and silently watching Moria's actions out of the corner of his eye.

"Yes!"

"I was originally a swordsman!"

Hearing Ike's words, Moria was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

He suddenly remembered that in the original story, Moria used a sword when challenging Kaido.

Although he later switched to using scissors, it's still evident from his battle with Jinbe during the Marineford War that Moria was a swordsman who used a knife.

His strength is just too weak, so people only remember his Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability and not his swordsmanship.

But things are different now, Moria thought.

He wants to rekindle his swordsman's spirit and aspire to become the Swift Shadow Swordsman, untouchable by anyone as long as his "E" skill is fast enough.

"Buzz!"

Moria raised his right hand, holding the sword high and extending his arm. While gathering Armament Haki, he added a sound effect to himself and also wrapped Armament Haki around his shadow sword, Shusui.

Unlike the Armament Haki gained after absorbing shadows, which requires battle to acquire.

Moria acquired swordsmanship as an instinctive skill the moment he devoured Gomez's shadow.

Therefore, Moria is now a true swordsman.

"Clang!"

Moria swung his sword downwards with force, and the sound of a slashing wave echoed out.

Ike and the others tensed up, their expectant gazes fixed on Moria's path.

In their view, Moria's slash would inevitably produce a visually devastating effect.

however

Nothing happened in front of Moria.

Two seconds later

Tia and the others were stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Moria, who remained calm, and decided to pretend they knew nothing.

After all, the boss is trying his best to appear calm, so as his subordinates, they shouldn't expose his facade and risk being punished for no reason, which is not worth it.

At this moment, everyone was pretending. Some officers and ordinary pirates couldn't keep up the act, so they turned their heads away and covered their mouths, not looking at Moria, afraid that they wouldn't be able to hold back their laughter.

My expectations were way too high. Not only did the cataclysmic upheaval I had imagined not happen, but it also had absolutely no destructive power.

This is completely inconsistent with their assessment of Moria's swordsmanship.

So naturally they couldn't help but laugh!

After all, it's rare to see a big shot get the short end of the stick!

Of course, they didn't underestimate Moria's strength; they just thought Moria's swordsmanship wasn't very good.

"That shouldn't be the case!"

Only Ike on the scene thought it was impossible, thinking to himself, "With the boss's strength, it's impossible that his slash wouldn't make a sound!"

"Not only was there not a single crack in the ground, but even the sea in the distance was calm and still."

Just as he thought of this, Ike was suddenly startled, and his eyes widened as he looked down at the sea at the foot of the mountain.

It's important to know that while there wasn't a strong wind around Ark Island at that moment, a gentle breeze was still blowing.

On the sea directly in front of Moria, the surface rippled and shimmered in the breeze.

It was clearly the seawater being stirred up by a gentle breeze, constantly flowing and creating waves.

However, from where Moria swung his sword.

The sea surface was as calm as a mirror, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding shimmering waves.

It was as if the sea, cleaved by Moria's slash, had become still and the wind had stopped flowing.

"Look, everyone!"

"what is that?"

Finally, someone else noticed the unusual activity on the sea ahead.

After all, the contrast between the two-meter-wide, seemingly endless sea surface, calm as a mirror, and the surrounding shimmering waves was too striking, and these people, who weren't blind, naturally noticed it very quickly.

"Could it be..."

At this moment, among the officers of the Madman Pirates, a man holding a green scabbard looked at the calm, mirror-like sea, muttering to himself, his eyes gradually shining with an unprecedented light, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

"Alphard, what's that?"

Hearing the words of the officer with the knife, Ekko, eager to know why, turned around and asked.

The others also looked at the officer wielding the knife, a man named Elpha, who was also the number one swordsman in the Madman Pirates and a swordsman who had mastered the Breath of All Things.

Ignoring the crowd, Alpha looked intently at Moria, who remained calm, and explained, "Legend has it that some powerful swordsmen in this world can master a sword technique that can cut through anything."

"The boss's slash just now must have been the kind of sword technique that can't cut anything."

Is there nothing that can't be cut off?

What kind of ghost sword technique is this?
