Shadows from all directions, along the black lines like pipes, converged at Moria's feet.

After absorbing the shadow into her body, Moria's body swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The height that was originally close to seven meters was directly raised to more than nine meters.

But after that, nothing has changed.

This is not the same as expected.

Moria's mentality suddenly collapsed.

There were about 900 shadows on the island.

But after he used the [Shadow Gathering Place], he only recovered about a hundred shadows.

That's it.

These shadows that have been recovered are basically weak chickens!

And those higher-quality shadows really don't even see the slightest shadow.

Why is this happening?

Moria didn't know why, but that didn't prevent him from putting the answer to his question directly on Maude's head.

Suddenly, the rising anger turned into murderous intent.

A whole 800 shadows of good quality were lost by Maude.

You know, that's the result of years of hard work!

"Bacardi. Hammond!!! ”

Enraged, Moria roared.

It only absorbed a hundred shadows of relatively low quality, but Moria's strength and physique still improved a lot.

This may be the charm of the Shadow Fruit, which can greatly increase its own strength in a short period of time through shadow superposition.

Skills like this one, which are similar to explosive seeds, usually have some side effects.

But the Shadow Gathering Places don't have this drawback.

The only thing worth noting is endurance.

A hundred shadows is just the comfort zone that Moriah can bear.

Beyond that, even if the number of shadows reaches as high as nine hundred, Moria will only suffer from it.

The relationship between them cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

Before Maud made a move, he asked his companions to clean up the shadows on the island, which was also intended to weaken Moria's hole card.

Judging by the results, it is exactly what Maud can accept.

Moriah didn't know why, but he was almost certain that Maud was the culprit.

"Bang bang!"

He took a heavy, powerful step, and every time he landed, he kicked up a puff of smoke and dust.

The mountain-like body pulled out a shadow and shrouded Maude's body as she swung her sword.

In the face of Moria, whose strength has greatly improved, Maude is not afraid.

Rather than dealing with Moria's multi-faceted escape ability, Maud would rather have a head-on confrontation with the improved Moria.

After stepping into the attack range, Maude unceremoniously slashed at Moria's body with two intersecting sword qi.

Moria looked down at the speeding sword qi and bent his arms in front of him.

"Boom!"

The sword qi slashed directly into Moria's arm, causing a violent explosion.

The aftermath dissipated, leaving only a few mottled scars on Moria's arms.

"Hehe, a hundred shadows are enough to deal with you!"

After resisting Maud's slash with his arm, Moria was angry and a little proud.

Those shadows, as if they were sucked into his body, actually melted directly into his shadows.

And once the shadow becomes stronger, the main body will also become stronger.

This is the essential relationship between the ontology and the shadow.

In other words, the hundred shadows that he absorbed not only brought him various abilities and techniques, but also greatly increased his physical strength.

Therefore, he was able to directly resist Maude's slash with his flesh.

"Tsk......"

Maud glanced at the insignificant scar on Moria's arm, and thought to himself that the Shadow Gathering Place was an unreasonable skill.

In the long run, though, his hunter's notes are even more unreasonable.

Moria, whose confidence skyrocketed, didn't wait for Maud to connect with the second wave of attacks, raised her arms above her head, clenched her hands into fists, and slammed into Maude below.

Phew——!

Before the attack arrived, it first blew a fist wind that blew away the wreckage of many trees around it.

Maude's eyes narrowed slightly, her eyes narrowing as she looked up at the attack that had fallen with a thousand pounds.

"Since it's frontal, there's no need to hide a knife......"

The thought was fleeting, and before Moria's heavy punch was near, Maud sheathed Chidori with a backhand, and quickly pulled out the great sword Qiushui that he had snatched from the sword lord Ryoma.

subsequently

A dragon-like armed domineering aura flowed out from Maude's right hand holding the hilt, turning into a cyclone, and quickly circling the black-purple blade with red serrated knife patterns in Qiushui.

In the end, the armed color domineering descended directly like a shower, covering the body of the autumn water knife, condensing a layer of black film that seemed to be infected.

Maud slashed out.

In mid-air, a jet-black sword like eternal night flashed across Moria's right arm, which had fallen heavily.

There are no tricks to speak of.

It's just pure power, pure stab.

Laugh at!

With a flash of the sword, Moria's smashed right arm snapped off like a cable car that had broken abruptly, tumbling violently over Maude's head.

And at the broken arm, blood splattered out like a torrential rain.

Moria's face froze, and her other hand slammed into the air.

"Boom!"

A dull loud bang was heard in the distance.

Where the fist fell, the ground suddenly cracked.

The trees that had fallen to the ground around them were shattered by the impact of the shock, and then flew into the air.

The thick smoke and dust swept away.

The blood that poured from Moria's severed arm rippled in circles on the smoke and dust.

Maud was in the rain of smoke and blood, and in less than a second or two, his face and even his body were stained with a lot of stains.

But he didn't care at all, maintaining the posture of slashing out, but his eyes fell on the deep blade of Qiushui.

"Good knives."

Cooperate with Qiushui to slash with all his strength, which makes Maud have a kind of exhilaration.

There are old guns for guns, and there are old knives for knives.

This is a national treasure from the country of Wano, which was once known as the country of gold, and it is obviously a top priority.

Before the smoke and dust cleared, Maud quickly retracted his knife and gathered momentum again.

One arm is not enough.

The other hand must also be put on it, and if necessary, an additional leg can be added.

It would be great if Moria could pass out like this.

"Damn bastard!!"

In the smoke and dust, Moria's fury was suddenly heard.

Call!

Strong winds rose and blew away the smoke and dust.

Moria's face was full of veins, and she stared at Maud with a cannibalistic gaze.

While the Shadow Gathering Lands can greatly increase Moria's power, it also limits the flexibility of the Shadow Fruit's abilities.

This restriction not only prevented him from releasing the shadow clone, but also prevented him from releasing a three-dimensional shadow attack.

The relationship is equivalent to Moria changing the mage positioning to the barbarian positioning, and can only use the amplified strong body to fight hand-to-hand.

"Give Me !! Death"

Moria didn't care about the two bleeding spots on her body, and drove her left arm intact to throw all her strength towards Maude with one palm.

Maud swung his knife again.

The sword as black as eternal night flashed in midair.

Without any movement, Moria's left arm followed in his footsteps, breaking off and rolling in the air with blood.

"Second arm."

Maud put away the knife and looked calm.

Moria, on the other hand, froze in place as if she had been immobilized.

Not far from the forest.

The group of pirates all stared blankly at the scene in front of them, as if they were in a dream.

When Moria used his killer move, they thought the boy was going to be finished.

But reality gave them a big surprise.

That Seven Martial Sea Moria, the owner of the terrifying three-masted ship, was actually cut off by this young man!

While they were pleasantly surprised, they were more shocked by the strength of this teenager.

What is the origin of this person?
