For the shadow of Maude's quality, which is certainly not weak, Moria is bound to win.

On the other hand, Maude didn't think about wasting Moria's shadow fruit, which was at the upper level of the superhuman system.

Both sides have their own needs, and the main purpose of both is to [capture] the other party alive.

"Hey-hee-hee......"

Moria's grim gaze was directed at Maude directly in front of her.

The shadow mage, whose silhouette matched his appearance, walked silently and rushed straight towards Maud.

Maude raised his hand and slashed away two sword qis.

The sword qi slashed through the ground, like a wave of the ground, and came to the shadow mage in an instant.

Facing the sword qi that was about to blast into his face, the shadow mage's body suddenly turned into bats and flew away, dodging the sword qi slashed by Maude.

Those two sword qi crossed the swarm of bats and went straight into the forest a hundred meters away, easily destroying more than a dozen big trees along the way, and then causing a lot of movement.

Subsequently, the swarm of bats that had dodged the sword qi gathered at an extremely fast speed and re-condensed into a shadow mage.

In the brief interval between her regrouped form, Maude walked silently and dodged in front of the Shadow Mage.

Hidden Knife Flow, Shadow Windmill!

The twin knives in Maude's hand, with a forward and backward momentum, slashed out two half-arc blades with hard lines towards Moria's arms.

A thousand birds in front, ferrets in the back.

The two successive slashes were tightly attached.

Moria, who took Maude's trick into his eyes from the perspective of a bystander, made a decision between lightning and flint.

He manipulated the Shadow Mage to sink directly to the ground, turning into a puddle of shadows, completely avoiding the near-late slash of the armed color.

If it weren't for Maud's previous aggressiveness, Moria would be willing to take some risks in exchange for better counter-attacking opportunities in this kind of off-the-back opportunity.

But it was precisely because Maud put a lot of pressure on Moria that Moria chose to avoid the edge for the time being, and let the shadow mage completely avoid the risk.

"Shadow Horn Gun!"

The shadow that sank to the ground suddenly transformed into a three-dimensional body, forming a thick pitch-black spear that stabbed Maud's abdomen with lightning speed.

Maude's eyes reflected the image of the shadow horn spear stabbing straight in, and there was no intention of backing down.

Slash!

Chidori and ferrets, each entwined with their armed colors, crossed each other, and then slashed from top to bottom, slashing at the Shadow Horn Spear that stabbed from the ground.

Seeing this, Moria's face changed slightly.

In order to completely avoid potential risks in the previous encounter, Moria acted cautiously and made the shadow mage transform from three-dimensional to flat.

This also means that in the process of switching from planar to three-dimensional shadows, there will inevitably be delays in launching the next wave of offensives.

Although the delay was short, it was enough for Maud to retract and even reorganize the offensive.

Seeing the slash coming, the pitch-black spear formed by the shadow sculpture quickly retracted to the ground like an electric shock, turning into a pool of shadows again.

Maud's cross-slash missed.

The Shadow Horn Gun is supposed to be Moria's strongest single attack method, and it has strong penetration power in its own right.

But in the face of the armed color, the power will be greatly reduced.

Judging from the retreating performance of the Shadow Horn Gun, Maude has a basic judgment.

"In this way, even if you know the armed color, you can't use the armed color to increase the strength of the shadow."

“……”

Moriah looked at Maud coldly, silently controlling the pool of shadows, allowing it to transform back into a shadowmage in the form of a body.

He had gone to the New World a long time ago, and he had fought against many powerful people, so he mastered the art of domineering.

Merely......

For various reasons, he did not further master domineering, but focused on the [Zombie Legion Project].

So it's true that as Maude guessed, he can be armed with color, but only at the level of a half-asser, let alone a superb skill that combines armed color and fruit ability.

After a few rounds of fighting, Maud roughly figured out the details of Moria.

He remembered that when Moria was fighting the Straw Hat Pirates, he didn't explicitly use the color of armament and the color of sight.

A pirate who set foot in the New World many years ago, and also sat firmly in the position of the Seven Martial Seas, if you don't understand domineering, it's really a bit unreasonable.

Now it seems that Moria does know how to be domineering.

It's just that Moria's armed color attainments are not high, so it is reasonable to see and hear them.

Maude pulled down the knife flower and said lightly: "Moria, domineering is the capital to gain a foothold in the new world, not these scum zombies that you have painstakingly created." ”

"Hey-hee-hee......"

Moria sneered a few times and said viciously: "What should I do, it's not your turn to teach a milky little ghost." ”

The zombie legion is a table of combat power that is piled up in numbers.

And the shadow that resides in the zombie's body is the inner combat power of his Moria.

He can command zombies to fight, and he can also retract the shadow in the zombie's body at any time to greatly increase his own strength.

This is where the final hole card of the zombie plan lies.

If it weren't for the lack of a suitable shadow to match the corpse of the demon Oz that was still stored in the freezer, at this time, there would be no need for him to come forward to deal with Maude.

"When I accept your shadow, you will know what life is better than death, hehehe!!"

Moria stretched her arms, and the bloodshot from her eyes became more and more conspicuous.

With his laughter, the Shadow Mage attacked Maud once more.

All forms of attacks are nothing more than to create an opportunity to be able to use [Shadow Warrior].

As soon as the opportunity arises, he will immediately use the [Shadow Warrior], make his body and the shadow swap places, and then cut Maude's shadow.

Until then, he would rather let the Shadow Mage do nothing than reveal the details of the [Shadow Warrior] in advance.

However, Moriah would never have imagined that Maud knew everything about him.

Maud knew that Moriah could switch places with the Shadow Mage at any time, so he allowed Moriah to manipulate the Shadow safely outside the battle circle.

Seeing the Shadow Mage rush over, Maud raised the ferret.

"Single shot."

As soon as the words fell, the ferret changed from a long knife to a white flintlock pistol in an instant.

"Bang bang bang ......!"

Maud pulls the trigger quickly.

Tongues of fire continued at the muzzle of the gun, and lead bullets were shot at the Shadow Mage.

"Shadow mages aren't afraid of shooting......"

Moriah smiled coldly, causing the Shadow Mage to ignore the intertwined barrage, maintain the current charging speed, and go straight to Maud.

The shot of lead bullets hit the Shadow Mage's body, only sending ripples through it, neither hurting the Shadow Mage in the slightest, nor hindering the Shadow Mage's charge in the slightest.

As long as it is not an attack with an armament color, the Shadow Mage is immune to damage of any nature.

The lead bullet had no effect at all, but Maud had no intention of stopping.

"Bang ......"

Lead bullets shoot at the Shadow Mage.

There was a glimmer in Maude's eyes, and the weaponized domineering spirit moved with the thought, clinging to Bailey's deformed flintlock pistol like flowing water.

"Bang!"

A lead bullet wrapped in armed domineering energy blended into the barrage and pointed directly at the shadow mage's abdomen.

Moria had no idea that Maud would be mixed in with an arm-colored buckshot in the dense barrage.

By the time that armed-colored buckshot struck the Shadow Mage's abdomen, it was too late!

Suddenly, the shadow mage's abdomen was pierced by the lead bullet in a sleek hole.

Moria's expression changed suddenly.

The violent fluctuations in his emotions made it impossible for him to maintain his sights and hearings, and even the shadow mage who had been hit hard could only return to his body at the speed of light.

The moment the shadow mage returned to Moria's body, an impact force that rose out of thin air directly shook Moria out.

"Bang Bang ......"

His tall body smashed through the trees along the way, plowing a crater in the path until it broke the eighth tree, kicking up puffs of dust.

In many corners of the forest, a human head popped up.

These are the pirates who were robbed of their shadows by Moria and finally left behind on the terrifying three-masted ship to survive.

They came quietly, and when they saw Moria being sent flying, their faces were shocked.

"Did he do it?"

The group of pirates looked at Maude, who had a calm face in the garden, with an uncanny gaze.

"Who the hell is this teenager?"

Immediately afterwards, this group of pirates, who were trapped in the terrifying three-masted ship and had no news, couldn't help but think about the identity of the teenager.

The same people who saw Moria being sent flying away, as well as the few zombies stationed in the forest.

"How could it be ......?"

They were shocked, and they couldn't believe that the tough master had been sent flying.
