The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated.

Chapter 127 Zombie? No, Xin Duoli, you are a human!

He finally managed to awaken part of the will of the legendary swordsman Ryoma within the shadow of the skeleton!

The superhuman [Shadow-Shadow Fruit] allows one to control one's own shadow or cut off other people's shadows. It can absorb shadows that leave the human body or put shadows that leave the human body into a corpse to create a zombie.

The shadows of both the living and the dead can be cut out.

However, under normal circumstances, cutting off the shadow of a dead person is useless, because the shadow of a dead person has no consciousness and no combat experience in his lifetime.

So he always attacks living people.

Take action against those unlucky souls who enter the Devil's Triangle and encounter the terrifying three-masted sailing ship.

But a few years ago, he changed his attitude towards the shadows of the dead. He met a living skeleton named Brook, who was good at swordsmanship and a devil fruit user. The devil fruit he ate was a very special one, the Yomiuri Fruit.

The ability of the Yomiuri Fruit is to resurrect a person once after death.

Resurrection in the form of bones.

Although he knew that his Shadow-Shadow Fruit could not bring out the fruit abilities of other users through their shadows, he still wanted to try. Even if he could only bring out a little bit of the power of the Yomiuri Fruit from Brook's shadow, maybe he could awaken some of Ryoma's memories before his death?
then.

He tried.

Put Brook's shadow into Ryoma's corpse.

He didn't know whether it was the resonance between the swordsmen, or the "vitality" within Brook's shadow and the roots that had taken root for several years, or the special nature of the Yomiuri Fruit and Ryuma's obsession after his death... He didn't know what the specific opportunity was, but over the years, some of Ryuma's will before his death had actually miraculously revived.

That kind of aura of a strong man is definitely not something a third-rate swordsman like Brook can possess.

(In fact, this phenomenon is the ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit. The surgeon, one of the three monsters under Moria, requested to "resurrect" the white moonlight, that is, the dancer Xin Duoli. Because she did not erase her past memories, she retained many of her habits, some skills and even memories before her death.)
At this point, he had a swordsman of considerable strength under his command.

He should be satisfied.

But when he thought of his companions who had been slaughtered by Kaido, and then thought of the terrifying power of that monster Kaido, he could not be satisfied with this.

therefore.

He tried again.

He cut off the shadow of Ryuma's corpse, packed this shadow, which had some of his will in life, along with the shadows of Brook and many living swordsmen, and put them into the body of Demon Oz!

And prepared a machete several dozen meters long for Oz!

This is his attempt.

It would be terrifying to think about the combination of Demon Oz's unparalleled power and the great swordsman's swordsmanship.

Maybe he can even fight Kaido.

"There's no rush with Kaido, let's try the one in front of us first."

The huge sword blade swept through the air, trying to cut Li Xia in half; the sword energy flew out with a tearing sound, which was the swordsman's signature skill "Flying Slash". With one strike, a thin and long hole was torn in the sky above that was shrouded in thick fog. The sun then shone down.

“It’s quite capable.

pity…

Not much anymore. ”

Li Xia shook his head and saw the problem with the huge demon in front of him.

This thing should just be a test product in the experimental stage.

It is indeed a terrifying power that far exceeds the "several thousand tons" of ordinary giants. Since Oz, who is 67 meters tall, is the best among the giants, even without the bonus of domineering and the power of the power fruit after his death, his strength is more than tons or even hundreds of thousands of tons!

However, the shadow controlling this body is not pure.

Moriah seemed to have injected many shadows of living swordsmen into the body of Demon Oz. Although these shadows were far less powerful than Ryoma, how could they easily succumb to the will of a dead person? Even a little bit of resistance would prevent Ryoma's will from being "harmonious and unified".

"Don't embarrass yourself by showing off things that are only in the experimental stage."

Ten green-gold diamond chains extended from behind him, five of which bound Oz, making him unable to move, while the other five shot towards the gigantic Moria, and were about to bind him.

Moriah felt Oz's inability to cope with the situation and was immediately horrified.

That is the demon Oz, who is known as the "Fortune Country".

A monster that could move an island in its heyday.

However, he was still bound tightly by the strange chains.

If Oz was like this, what about him? So he naturally didn't dare to take it himself.

But dodging was useless, as those chains were fast and accurate, and even formed a barrier with magical suppressive power.

'To suffer! '

The chains were about to wrap around his huge body.

Moria thought to himself that something was wrong.

Then he had to use his life-saving skills.

"Kagemusha."

This move can allow you to detach your shadow from your body and swap positions with your main body, thus dodging the opponent's attack. This move can also allow you to swap part of your body with your shadow, or part of your body with part of your shadow.

Although he had openly released the bats to attack Li Xia, he was actually openly letting these shadows fly away from the terrifying brig, taking his three men away with him.

"Want to run?"

Li Xia smiled with interest as she watched Moria's body and shadow instantly swapped places.

He had an even higher opinion of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit.

Because the opponent's replacement method reminded him of Uchiha Sasuke's Sky Hand Power, and partial replacement was like Uchiha Obito's Kamui.

The power of the sky hand is to exchange positions with the target, but it is not limited to one's own shadow. The distance is much shorter.

Shenwei sends the part of the body that is about to be injured to Shenwei space, thus avoiding almost all damage. The shadow exists forever and will not be destroyed by any form of attack, so it can help the main body to withstand infinite damage; and while bearing the damage, it can continue to attack the opponent unexpectedly.

But Moria's physical skills are too poor.

It is clearly a devil fruit with a very high upper limit, but it cannot be well displayed due to the host's own poor performance.

The other end.

The seaside three or four kilometers away.

Moria, whose body has returned to normal, is fleeing with his three subordinates on his back, and is about to escape onto a lifeboat that has been prepared, and then quietly say goodbye to this place.

“Hmph, although you are powerful and can easily suppress Oz, you never thought that I could exchange places with my own shadow, right? Hmph, play with my shadow slowly. By the time you find something wrong, I will have already escaped far away…”

The fat man smiled smugly.

Then he subconsciously glanced back.

It was this glance that made his smile freeze, his eyes gradually widen, and his face quickly filled with horror and fear:
"Damn it! Who on earth is this guy?"

Five chains flew over his head, and then a transparent barrier quickly opened up to block most of the terrifying three-masted sailing ship. The magical repressive force acted on him again, making his body become unusually heavy.

"No no no..."

The boat was only a dozen meters away from him, just two or three steps away.

But at this moment, the distance between them was not two or three steps, nor was it more than ten meters, but a distance that could never be reached.

How could the brute force of the giants and Moria be able to contend with the power that can suppress the Nine-Tailed Fox?
...

Moriah, the user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit.

Perona, the user of the Spirit-Spirit Fruit. Absalom, the user of the Transparent Fruit.

Hogback, once a world-famous genius surgeon, created many surgical miracles; even Chopper, the Straw Hat Pirates' "ship doctor" and part-time "pet", was amazed by his superb surgical skills. The zombie army under Moriah was created by this guy, and Oz's body was also perfectly repaired by him.

After taking down these four people, the small dark room in the independent space will naturally have four more tenants.

"Can Im defend against soul-type attacks?"

While muttering softly, he looked at a woman who was patched together in the corner of the castle:
"Why fight a battle you don't want to be a part of?"

The woman's name was Xin Duoli. She was a dancer when she was alive. After her accidental death, Moria lured a surgeon who had always had a crush on her into resurrecting her on condition of her resurrection.

The so-called resurrection is actually to sew up the bodies of the dead and then stuff the shadows of living people into them to turn them into zombies.

With this, Moria created an army of zombies that served as cannon fodder.

This woman and other zombies are Moria’s final struggle.

But it has no effect.

Xin Duoli looked up at the gap in the ruined castle with a numb face:

"Zombies are born to be obedient, right..."

Her voice was cold and her eyes were indifferent, but Li Xia saw sadness in her eyes.

"Zombie?"

He shook his head:
"Miss Xin Duoli, in my eyes, you are a human being!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Duoli, who still retained many memories of her life, trembled for no reason.

And at this moment, Li Xia seemed to hear the sound of heartbeat.

That was not the heartbeat of him and Moria.

But besides them, Xin Duoli was the only one left here.

"Could it be..."

He looked sharply at the woman's chest.

Looked towards the source of the heartbeat.

The dead heart in the woman's body actually started beating!

And Xin Duoli, who originally had a numb face, was now incredibly in tears!
How can it be?

This woman is a zombie!

Do zombies have heartbeats, feel sad, and shed tears?

"The Devil Fruit is truly a magical thing!"

Pity…

"Miss Xin Duoli, I'm sorry, everything that the Shadow-Shadow Fruit has bestowed upon you may soon disappear. By then, I'm afraid you..."

Sorry.

Li Xia sighed softly.

Once Moria's power is taken away by him, the zombie army that exists because of Moria will naturally not be spared. Xin Duoli will also become a corpse again.

"No, thank you, thank you for your recognition, thank you for setting me free, thank you for letting me find the proof that I belong to the human race..."

Facing Li Xia, Xin Duoli, who had originally had a numb expression, smiled a smile that she had only had when she was alive and never again after her death.

During all these years in the castle, she was just Hogback's zombie maid and zombie slave, and had never been recognized by anyone.

Therefore, she was really grateful to the person in front of her for helping her regain her emotions and dignity as a human being.

The fog that had shrouded this area for years seemed to sense Xin Duoli's mood at this moment, and it slowly dissipated, allowing the originally dark sea area to have clear light.

The warm sunlight shines in here.

It dispelled a lot of the coldness.

This scene stunned Moria and the genius surgeon Hobguk.

"How is this possible? Can my Shadow-Shadow Fruit really revive the dead?"

"Impossible, impossible, Xin Duoli was really resurrected? I never noticed it! Xin Duoli..."

Hogbak struggled violently and wanted to rush forward and hug him.

That is his white moonlight.

He joined the Moria Pirates for Sindoli. But when he realized that Moria could only help him revive a cold corpse, he no longer regarded Bai Yueguang as a human being! He just regarded her as a special zombie slave.

"What have I done all these years?"

In this regard.

Xin Duoli in the corner also smiled back, then bowed respectfully and gratefully to Li Xia as a farewell, and finally faced the sunlight that she had not felt since she woke up, and disappeared in the light in an instant.

"No... I'll exchange my life for hers. I'll do anything you want. Please... Xin Duoli... don't..."

Hogbag broke free from Li Xia's restraints and pounced on her like a madman to grab her.

Wanting to pull the woman back into the shadows.

Because the living and dead who have lost their shadows cannot be exposed to the sunlight, otherwise they will immediately turn to ashes.

But he was still too slow and only caught a little smoke.

How could a liberated soul be willing to be kept in captivity and enslaved again?

...

"Would you like to meet your descendants, Mr. Ryoma?"

In the square in front of the castle, Li Xia started chatting with a skeleton.

This skeleton is the skeleton of the legendary swordsman Ryoma.

The shadow in the body of Demon Oz has been released by Moria, who controlled him, and returned to this skeleton. Therefore, Ryoma at this time has some of his own memories.

"My descendants?"

The skeleton was stunned for a moment.

"Well, his name is Zoro. He is a very good young man and a very motivated swordsman. If you can teach him some skills, I think he will be able to avoid many detours."

Li Xia smiled.

Although Zoro's master Koshiro is a powerful swordsman who has taken good care of Zoro since he was a child and helped Zoro lay a solid foundation; he is more of a swordsmith, a swordsmith who forged the famous sword Wasoichimonji.

Compared to a real combat swordsman, he is still somewhat inferior.

"Thank you."

Longma nodded. He really wanted to see his descendants.

Li Xia immediately called out Zoro and asked him to go to the distant woods to whisper with his ancestor.
