I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Bang bang bang bang bang....

The roar of the Emperor's engine continued, and the terrifying, surging pressure made Moria's expression turn solemn.

He glanced behind him.

Perona and Absalom, the two cadres, are no longer capable of fighting. Moria is left with only a zombie army of a few hundred men.

Moria is under a lot of pressure to deal with Sieg in his current state.

"Humph!"

"If I can just get through this period, Ryoma will become my most loyal subordinate."

Moria sneered and reached out a hand.

"A gathering place for shadows!"

As soon as he spoke, shadows shot out from the hundreds of zombies behind him. As the zombies crashed to the ground, the shadows converged on Moria!

Facing the terrifying Sig, Moria dared not be careless and immediately used his strongest move!

Chapter 277 Using the Way of the Sword to Reach the Heavenly Dao

At the entrance to the terror ship.

Moria reached out and summoned hundreds of shadowy figures that flew toward his body, creating a spectacular yet eerie scene.

The female reporter, Tiramisu, stood on the deck, put down her binoculars, and muttered to herself:

"We followed that whale all the way, and it seems we made it in time. We weren't too late."

Her ship was still some distance from the Thriller Bark, merely observing it from afar without any intention of getting closer, intending only to secretly observe Sieg's true nature.

.........

Shadow Gathering Ground is Moria's strongest move.

The shadows created by the Shadow-Shadow Fruit possess the same strength as their original owner.

Hundreds of shadows represent the strength of hundreds of people.

Moria attempted to absorb hundreds of shadows into himself to enhance his power.

However, a person can only possess one shadow. Moria's forced absorption of so many shadows cannot last long; it is merely a temporary enhancement buff.

Sig naturally knew the principles behind his moves.

Therefore, just as Moria issued the Shadow Gathering Ground and countless dark shadows were about to merge into his body, Sieg had already made his move.

He suddenly reached out, and the longsword was already in his hand. He swung it downwards!

100% being caught with bare hands!

At that moment, Moria, who was about to be surrounded by hundreds of dark figures, suddenly shuddered and involuntarily strode towards Sieg.

His eyes widened, but he couldn't control himself at all.

The massive body knelt humiliatingly before Sieg, its palms clasped together, striking the sword in Sieg's hand!

"you----"

Moria's expression changed drastically, and he roared with a demonic face as he struggled violently, causing the tip of Dixiger's sword to tremble, but he was unable to break free for the time being.

"Moria!"

Sieg maintained his downward slashing stance, standing motionless, and said in a deep voice:

"Didn't you want to use the power of the Ghost-Ghost Fruit to embarrass me? Now you'll taste what it's like to be kneeling on the ground!"

"You... what kind of Devil Fruit power do you have?"

Moria roared, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, struggling with gritted teeth, but to no avail.

"Devil Fruit? What a joke!"

Before Sieg could answer, a voice came from within the bandit group.

"This is one of Boss Sig's sword techniques, called 'The Immortal'—"

"Kneel, Immortal!" Sieg quickly added, then stared coldly at Moria, who was kneeling on the ground right in front of him, and said in a cold voice:

"This is a sword technique that I created with a benevolent heart, inspired by the chaos of this great pirate era. It is a sword that subdues the enemy without fighting!"

"A heart of compassion?"

Upon hearing this, Moria, who was still kneeling, and Stussy, who was still observing in the crowd, both trembled. Moria even directly rebuked him:

"What kind of mercy is this—"

Before she could finish speaking, she was once again silenced by Sieg's words:

"I, Sig, have reached the Dao of Heaven through the Way of the Sword, and have long since attained a level of swordsmanship that is beyond the comprehension and comprehension of ordinary people!"

"With a single sword strike, the power of heaven and earth is unleashed!"

"Any living being that is unable to withstand the overwhelming power of heaven and earth will be forced to its knees by the force of heaven and earth!"

These words left Moria and the bandits speechless.

"The grand scheme of heaven and earth?"

Stussy trembled slightly; she had personally experienced that sword strike and could understand the feeling of being unable to move.

Not only that, he also witnessed the duel between Sieg and Hawkeye!

Thinking back to Sieg's sword strike that cleaved the sandstorm in Rain City, it seems... to make sense?

Is it really possible for swordsmanship to reach such a level?

Crocdale's expression darkened further.

She had already lost to Sig, and under the influence of the Ghost-Ghost Fruit just now, she lost another round.

"Did Sig hold back in his previous fight with me?"

Crocdale remained silent.

The negative phantom she had just witnessed had already enraged her. She couldn't imagine what it would have been like if Sieg had used such a move in public back in Rain City...

"It seems like I've managed to fool them..."

Sieg thought to himself, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Moria had temporarily suppressed his anger. His words were actually meant for Stussy and the others, intended to stir up their shared hatred and remind them of the dark history caused by the Ghost-Ghost Fruit.

Next, if he adds a few more words, Sieg will probably be able to incite Stussy and the others to take the opportunity to gang up on and beat Moria, who is unable to move, to death.

Sieg had his own plans in mind.

But the change in circumstances was beyond his expectations.

Although Sieg interrupted the "Shadow Gathering Ground" technique, hundreds of black shadows flying all over the sky were still flying towards Moria and Sieg.

However, Moria, who was forced to remain immobilized, seemed to have lost control of his shadows. The shadows, which were flying everywhere, darted around him in mid-air, and many of them were heading straight for Sieg, who was standing with his sword.

"shadow?"

Sig was also unable to move, just like Moria. Caught off guard, he felt a shadow touch his body and almost instantly merge into it.

Ok?

A thought struck Sieg.

The feeling of the shadow entering my body was unexpectedly somewhat familiar, without the foreign sensation I had imagined.

It was as if an instinct had been added to his body. The shadow that had entered his body seemed to be a pirate who was skilled in using an axe. Sig instinctively acquired the pirate's fighting skills and instincts.

It felt like using a system possession card, gaining the abilities of the original character.

While Sieg was still pondering, the hundreds of shadows flying around them seemed to have gotten out of control, almost engulfing him and Moria.

One shadow after another crashed into Sig's body, instantly disappearing deep into it.

Ten shadows possessed him!

Sig's body began to slowly grow larger, as if it were being inflated, and his entire body had become much thicker.

There were dark circles around his eyes.

But his dark circles weren't from exhaustion; his gaze seemed even sharper.

However, deep down, Sieg was a little confused.

The shadows Moria cuts out can be absorbed into the body of ordinary people, and can also gain the power of the original owner, just like a possession card.

However, an ordinary person's body can only hold one shadow, while only those with strong mental power can forcibly hold two or three shadows.

Moria attempted to contain hundreds of shadows because he, as a Devil Fruit user, had a natural advantage in this regard and a greater ability to control shadows.

But Sieg?

"Can my spiritual power contain ten shadows?"

Sieg fell into deep thought once again.

"Could it be that my body has been plowed into a smooth road due to the repeated use of the system's cards, allowing the shadow to enter so easily?"

Chapter 278 Nightmare Mountain Bandit King

Where everyone's eyes were focused, Sig and Moria were almost completely engulfed by the surging black shadows.

Whether it was due to Moria's rage or the influence of the Sage's Knee, the shadows flying in the sky seemed to have gone out of control, with a full ten shadows crashing into Sieg and merging into him.

With a thought, the system panel floated up in front of him.

After a few glances, Sieg already understood why he could accommodate 11 shadows.
