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

Before Moriah could answer, the others were already whispering amongst themselves, their faces showing displeasure.

They thought it was some kind of powerful move!

Emotions are a sword that can't be severed, so what's the point of having them?

It would be better to just cut directly than to use this sword technique that can't cut anything.

"Don't underestimate this kind of swordsmanship that can cut through anything."

Seeing that his swordsmanship was being questioned, Alpha became anxious, his face flushed, and he said excitedly, "Because it can't cut anything, anything attacked by this kind of slash will be in an absolute domain state."

"The wind cannot disturb its shape, nor can fire alter its form!"

"No attack can break through the object attacked by this sword technique."

"Therefore, swordsmanship that cannot cut through anything is also called the absolute sword of protection, or the strongest defensive sword."

cut!

Everyone scoffed and was about to say something sarcastic when Moria suddenly laughed.

"hehe!"

Upon hearing the laughter, everyone quickly fell silent; their fear of Moria was genuine.

They might be willing to mock Alpha, but Moria and his group wouldn't dare.

Just then, the "click-click" sound started again.

Everyone looked up at the sound and saw that a crack had appeared in the reddish-brown rock, starting from the tip of Moria's downward-swinging blade.

Then, as everyone looked on, the crevice suddenly and rapidly split open towards the foot of the mountain.

quickly!

"Click-click-click!"

"Cheng!"

After a sound of the earth splitting open, the sound of a slashing wave passing by rang in everyone's ears again.

Then came a loud "bang".

Directly in front of Moria, the Bloodhand Pirates' ship and the sea were split in two, revealing the silt beneath the seabed, and further away, a Sea King was also split in two.

"This"

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

The sky did not collapse, but the earth cracked open, even cutting the sea in two.

"So this is the swordsmanship of our boss!"

"As expected of the legendary powerful swordsmanship!"

"The boss truly lives up to his reputation as the boss!"

Alphard glanced at his companions, who had instantly turned into grovelers, and curled his lip in disapproval.

You dared to question our swordsmanship? Now you have nothing to say, right?

but!

Boss's swordsmanship is so amazing, I wonder if you could teach me?

With expectant eyes, Alpha looked intently at Moria.

Unfortunately, Moria ignored him, lost in his own insights into swordsmanship.

"Boss, is this really the kind of swordsmanship that can't cut anything?" Ike suddenly asked.

It's not like it can't cut anything, is it? This earth-shattering, sea-splitting strike that can't cut anything?

Ike didn't believe that this was the kind of swordsmanship that Alpha had described, one that could cut through nothing.

It must be a sword technique that cuts through everything!

"That's it!"

Moria said with a smile.

The so-called swordsmanship that can cut through anything isn't as mysterious as it seems.

In Moriah's view, it was an exercise of personal will.

By imbuing the emitted slashing wave with one's own powerful will, the slashing wave will be influenced by one's own will and undergo some wondrous changes.

The swordsmanship that can cut through anything is infused with an unyielding will that can cut through anything.

Therefore, wherever the slash passes, no matter how powerful the slash wave is, it can only be unable to cut anything in the face of a strong will.

Then, due to the influence of will, the area that was slashed was marked as if it had become an independent domain, where even the wind could not flow.

Of course, it's not as powerful as Alphard claims, which is indestructible; even a slightly stronger attack could destroy this independent domain.

However, once this domain is destroyed, the slashing wave that was originally indestructible becomes a true slashing wave.

The power of the slashing wave did not disappear; it was merely suppressed by Moria's will, remaining dormant.

So when Moria smiled, he deliberately destroyed that special independent domain. Without the suppression of his will, the damage caused by the slashing wave became apparent.

The ground cracked open, and the ships and the sea were split in two.

This kind of attack using willpower is very powerful, and not everyone can do it. Anyone who can do it must be a person of great strength.

Moria's swordsmanship was not originally at this level.

However, this kind of use of willpower is not unique to swordsmen.

Barrett can do it too, so Moria, who devoured Barrett's shadow, naturally can too.

In addition, he gained swordsmanship talent by absorbing Gomez's shadow.

Moria's swordsmanship naturally progressed to the level of using his will.

Or perhaps he already knew it, just used it in a different way.

"So this is the secret behind Moria's sudden and rapid increase in strength!"

Unlike others who focused on Moria's powerful swordsmanship, CP0's Night Owl was more concerned with the changes in Moria before and after.

Such a breakthrough in swordsmanship requires years of accumulated practice to achieve.

Moria's transformation involved only one thing: he devoured Gomez's shadow.

"It should be an ability that one gains after awakening the Shadow-Shadow Fruit."

"Presumably, Barrett's shadow has already been devoured by Moria, which is why his strength has increased so rapidly."

"By the time we got to Skull Island, he was able to fight Garp to a standstill."

Night Owl sighed inwardly. Back then, the higher-ups had always thought that Moria still had shadow servants created by Barrett, which was why they raised his bounty to 15 billion Berries.

Night Owl has now confirmed that Shadow Servant Barrett does not exist.

But Moria's threat is even greater.

"This method of rapidly increasing one's strength by absorbing the shadows of others is simply devilish."

"This guy's Shadow-Shadow Fruit must be kept in the hands of the World Government and cannot be allowed to fall into foreign hands, otherwise a second Shadow Emperor will appear in a few years."

"Let's wait a little longer. Once we have a clear understanding of the actor's physical condition, we can make our move."

Thinking to himself, Night Owl took a small step back, keeping a safe distance from Moria.

Moria was unaware that he was being targeted by CP0. Now, as if he had received a new toy, he suddenly became very interested in this swordsmanship that used willpower.

“You should go back first!” Moria said.

After sending Ike and the others back, he went alone on the slope, constantly practicing swordsmanship and trying to understand Gomez's sword techniques.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Moria had had his fun and withdrew his Shadow Blade, transforming back into a shadow.

Just then, someone reported that a pirate ship was approaching Ark Island from the south, suspected to be there to challenge Moria.

"You should also send people here to keep an eye on things, and notify me if any pirate ships come."

After giving an order to the person reporting, Moria activated his Shadow Mode and flew towards the south side of the island, which was the opposite side.

The south and north sides are similar, also reddish-brown rocky mountains, with similar height and slope, like the two sides of an ark.

The ark is flanked by the east and west sides of the island, both of which are massive rocky mountains, resembling the bow and stern of a ship.

When Moria arrived at the top of the southern mountain, Ike and the others had already arrived ahead of him.

More than a hundred people gathered on the hillside facing the sea.

"Boss, over here!"

When Ike saw Moria flying through the air, he and Jesse and the others made room for Moria to land.

"Which pirate crew is it this time?"

Do you know each other?

After landing, Moria looked at Ike and the others surrounding him and asked with a smile.

Ike and the others laughed awkwardly. This time, they dared not boast about how powerful the pirates were, for fear of being proven wrong.

It was only mentioned that the opposing captain's bounty was 315 million Berries.

The total bounty for the other crew members adds up to 1.085 billion Berries.

"That means the total bounty for the entire pirate crew is exactly 14 billion Berries."

Moria pondered; the total bounty was already quite good.

In this era, pirates with a bounty of over 100 million are generally quite strong.

Crocodile, a future Shichibukai, currently has a bounty of less than 100 million, but his reputation is no less than that of the others.

As for strength, Moria is hard to say; he can't see through him.

However, the pirate crew that is now challenging him is clearly quite strong.
