One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 145 Shadow Gathering Place

"Kid!"

Moria gritted his teeth, swallowed the blood in his mouth, and looked at Rhodes with a ferocious expression.

"You pissed me off!"

"Oh?"

Rhodes clenched his fists.

Moria is probably the weakest among the current Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The battle with Kaido not only made him lose all his companions, but also made him lose his ambition to dominate the sea. He could only hide in this Devil's Triangle which is shrouded in black fog all year round.

In this sea, domineering power overrides everything!
The power of domineering is related to the will of the user, and being steadfast is powerful.

Moria now obviously does not have this unshakable belief and will.

"I pissed you off, and then what?"

"Shadow Horn Gun!"

Moria's shadow mage turned back into a shadow at some point and returned to the ground. As Moria finished speaking, the shadow instantly turned into a spear and attacked Rhodes.

A red light flashed in Rhodes' eyes, and he staggered his feet slightly, directly avoiding Moria's attack, and then walked towards him confidently.

"Shadow Bat!"

Moriah remained calm after missing the attack. He controlled his shadow to transform into bats in the sky, and rushed towards Rhodes to bite them.

This is a bat transformed from his shadow. Like a shadow mage, it is immune to physical attacks.

Not only that, the scattered shadow bats can also make it more difficult for the enemy to attack.

"Fancy!"

Facing Moria's moves, Rhodes commented calmly.

Then, he gathered his domineering power into his fist and swung it fiercely at the shadow bats that were flying towards him like an overwhelming force.

"Ba Quan·Impact!"

The powerful punch force was released instantly along with Rhodes' domineering aura, forming a huge impact with a very wide coverage, covering all the shadow bats flying towards him.

bang bang bang-

Under Rhodes' attack, the oncoming shadow bats were instantly crushed and turned into puddles of ink that fell to the ground.

"I've already said it, domineering is the standard for measuring a strong person!"

Rhodes flashed in front of Moria and swung his fist again.

"Don't be so cocky, kid!"

Moriah looked grim.

"It's not your turn to criticize me!"

"Shadow Warrior!"

Moriah's figure suddenly disappeared from in front of Rhodes and appeared behind him. The scattered shadow that was originally behind Rhodes regrouped into a shadow mage and appeared in front of Rhodes.

This is Moria's other ability——【Shadow Warrior】!
[Shadow Warrior] allows Moria to exchange positions with the Shadow Mage. This move is always effective in battle, and few people can avoid the sneak attack when they are caught off guard.

"Shadow Box!"

Knowing that the Shadow Mage's power could not hurt Rhodes at all, Moria used his other ability - Shadow Box - as soon as he exchanged positions with the Shadow Mage!
Shadow Box can turn his shadow into a black box to trap the enemy.

The Shadow Mage's body changed immediately when it exchanged with Moriah and appeared in front of Rhodes. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a huge black box. Rhodes, who was about to attack Moriah, rushed directly into the shadow box as if he was walking into a trap.

"Hehehe~~"

Watching the shadow box close smoothly and trap Rhodes inside, Moriah showed a sly smile on his face.

"Although Haki is powerful, don't ignore the power of the Devil Fruit!"

As a great pirate who once fought against Kaido, Moria also mastered the two-color domineering.

However, the defeat in that battle completely shattered his spirit and energy, and his domineering power could no longer be exerted as easily as it had in the past.

However, as he said, although Haki is important, the power of the Devil Fruit should not be underestimated.

"Hehehe~~"

Moriah looked at the shadow box not far away.

Next, just take down the opponent's shadow and you will get a super powerful zombie!
Thinking of the corpse of the demon that he had kept in the warehouse, Moria felt a flash of heat in his heart.

A long time ago, he got the body of the demon Oz, but because he had never found a suitable shadow, he was unable to transform it into a qualified zombie.

However, as long as we can get the shadow of Rod, we should be able to let Demon Oz exert his greatest power!

Thinking of the huge size and overwhelming power of Demon Oz, Moriah couldn't help but feel shaken.

With this kind of power, I should be able to defeat you, Kaido!!
Bang! !

The shadow box in front of him suddenly exploded, and the scattered shadows splashed on the ground, leaving marks.

"I told you, it's all fancy!"

"If this were a black coffin, I would be a little wary."

Rhodes glanced at Moria, who had a grim look on his face.

“Here I am.”

what?
As soon as this thought flashed through Moria's mind, the next moment he felt a sharp pain coming from his abdomen.

Wow--

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Moria's body instantly flew backwards, piercing through the walls of the multi-layered castle.

"This is... Lord Moria!!!"

Absalom looked at Moria who suddenly flew in front of him, his eyes bulged instantly and his face was terrified.

At this moment, Moria's face was pale, with a few traces of blood at the corners of his mouth, and he looked nothing like his usual calm self.

Could it be that···

Absalom's heart tightened when he thought of Rod who had left to find Moria.

No way, the other party is just a new pirate who just went out to sea, how can he defeat Lord Moria! ? "Pay attention to the zombies with swords!"

Rhodes followed closely and glanced at Gray who was fighting the zombies.

"I know, I know."

"Oh my, it seems you still can't change your bad taste."

"After all, this guy is the kind of guy who even wants to steal the shoes of the female navy."

"Is there such a story? I have never heard of it."

"Let me tell you..."

Nia and Robin talked about Rhodes's embarrassing things mercilessly.

With Gray leading the way, the two of them only had to deal with some fish that slipped through the net, and there was no pressure at all.

"You bastard!"

Moriah looked at Rhodes who was walking over.

That's it again!

The opponent only needed one punch to make him lose his resistance.

Is this guy really just a pirate who just went out to sea?

"Any other moves?"

Rhodes looked at Moria expectantly.

This operation was carried out together with Big Bear. Rhodes even expected Moria to suddenly explode and severely injure him.

Although this possibility is not very high.

"Just a newcomer!"

Rhodes' expectant look was like a knife stabbing Moria's heart.

He was once a great pirate who stirred up waves in this sea!

When did I get treated like this by a new pirate?

"You are just a newcomer, let me show you what real terror is!"

Moriah ignored the pain in his body, pushed Absalom away, stood up suddenly, and stretched out his hands.

"Shadow gathering place!!"

The gathering place of shadows is the ultimate ability of Moria's Shadow-Shadow Fruit!
This is his most powerful move, which can absorb all the shadows controlled by him on this terrifying three-masted sailing ship into his body, thereby greatly increasing his own strength.

The Shadow-Shadow Fruit can gain some of the power of the shadow owner by putting the shadow into the body. After Moria used the Shadow Gathering Place, the power of all the shadows on the island would be bestowed on him.

After gathering the strength of hundreds and thousands of people, Moria didn't know to what extent his power would reach.

"Come on, all the shadows on the terrifying barque, become my power!!"

As Moriah finished speaking, black lines emerged from under his feet and quickly spread around along the ground.

"This is···"

The first to be affected were the zombie generals who were still fighting with Gray in the hall.

The black lines spread over their bodies, and the bodies of these zombie generals shook suddenly.

The shadows in their bodies disappeared the moment the black line touched them!

The zombies that lost their shadows turned into corpses again, and there were continuous "thump" sounds of them falling to the ground in the hall.

"Eh?"

Gray, who was about to continue testing the robot's performance, was slightly stunned.

For some reason, all the enemies in front of me fell down.

The fall of the zombies here is just the beginning. Further away, as the black line spreads, zombies fall one after another as the shadows in their bodies are sucked away.

"Someone is fighting on the island!"

"And he pushed that guy to the point of absorbing his shadow!"

On the Thriller Bark, in addition to Moria and several of his subordinates, there were also a large number of pirates.

They are all people whose shadows were taken away by Moria.

After losing their shadows, they could no longer walk freely in the sunlight. As long as they were exposed to the sunlight, their bodies would instantly turn into ashes. Therefore, they could only hide on this terrifying three-masted sailing ship, looking for a slim chance.

A chance to reclaim my shadow and regain my freedom.

And they also knew something about Moria's moves. In the current situation, it was obvious that the other party was preparing to absorb all the shadows on the island to strengthen himself.

Perhaps, this is the opportunity they have been waiting for!
"You must win, you unknown strong man!"

"Hehehe~~"

Shadows coming from all directions entered Moriah's body one after another, and as those shadows entered, Moriah's body swelled visibly to the naked eye. His height, which was already close to seven meters, became even larger, and his whole body exuded a strong aura.

"Six hundred!"

Moriah felt the powerful force filling his whole body.

"I have absorbed six hundred shadows. All the powers and skills originally possessed by the owners of these shadows now belong to me!"

After absorbing so many shadows, as Moria's body grew larger, the color of his skin changed and became somewhat bluish purple.

"Can you defeat me like this?"

The use of the shadow gathering place is not unconditional.

The most important point is the ability to bear.

Most people would suffer a mental breakdown and be unable to bear it if a dozen shadows were stuffed into their bodies.

As the user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, although Moria can withstand more shadows, six hundred shadows are almost the limit of his endurance.

Moria now only felt that the power in his body was about to explode.

This power, which even the user himself can hardly bear, will definitely defeat the enemy in front of him!
Moria looked at Rhodes with his bloodshot eyes.
