One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 278 A Stalemate! Let's Go to the Top of the World!
"Thorn Hunt!"

Somaz drew his sword and aimed it at Moria, who was descending from the sky.

The entire massive warship suddenly began to shake, and a thorn bush, like wild grass, sprang up and formed a giant wave that swept towards Moria.

"Hehehehehe! An awakened Paramecia type?"

Moria just laughed.

The blade of the enormous scissors in his hand was wreathed in a dark, domineering aura, with invisible currents surging around it.

Armament Haki of internal damage level!

"But weeds are weeds! Using scissors to trim them is just what's best!"

rub! !

The sharp blade flashed and disappeared in an instant, severing the surging thorns.

Moria finally crashed heavily onto the deck of the large ship.

"You actually dared to call my abilities weeds! You piece of trash, you really dare to say that! What are you idiots waiting for! Kill him!"

Somaz roared angrily.

"Hehehe! It's the enemy! Smash him!"

"I'm going to grind him into mincemeat!"

The giant demons on the deck cheered.

Their personalities have been completely reversed under Im's control. The once valiant giant warriors have now been turned into despicable and vicious demons!
They even swung their heavy cannons and hurled them at Moria.

"Hehehehehe! Shadow, obey my command!"

Moria spread his arms wide, laughing as he commanded, "Shadow World!"

At that moment, the shadows cast on the ground by the sunlight falling from the sky—the shadows of giants, Somaz, cannons, masts, and ship cabins—all began to surge!
Then, these shadows snaked up the giants' bodies, binding them completely like long snakes.

"I can't move!!"

The giant demons were terrified.

The shadows were like unbreakable chains, binding their bodies tightly.

Only Somaz reacted quickly, instantly activating his powerful aura, and the raging shadows subsided in the blink of an eye.

He looked at Moria with displeasure, "You, have you awakened too?"

"Hehehehe!"

Moria just smiled.

But I was still somewhat disappointed.

If this guy hadn't reacted, then we could have taken advantage of the opportunity to summon his shadow and cut it off.

Moria was actually quite curious: after taking their shadows, could these guys be completely killed by the sunlight?

Unfortunately, his domineering aura severely hampered his awakening.

A slightly stronger domineering aura would be enough to break free from the shackles of his awakened power, allowing the shadow to regain its freedom.

It doesn't matter. If we can't directly control this guy's shadow, then we'll just steal it!
"Kakutaku-Shadow-Thousand Blades!"

With Moria's wave of his hand, a large number of shadows condensed into jet-black spears, with invisible waves swirling around them, and they stabbed towards Somaz in a massive, overwhelming attack.

"Red Lotus Thorns!"

Somaz showed no weakness, and several thickets of thorns sprouted from the ground, also entwined with a dark, domineering aura, clashing fiercely with the dark shadow spears.

But the next moment, Somaz's expression changed slightly.

His thorns were severed almost instantly by the shadow spears the moment they made contact.

Not only is their domineering aura astonishing, but the weapons formed from these shadows are also incredibly sharp!
But Somaz was not afraid at all. He flicked his right-hand sword, and thorns immediately wrapped around it, turning it into a huge thorny mace.

He met the sharp spear coming at him with his bare body while swinging his spiked club at Moria.

The end result was that his body was riddled with holes in an instant.

However, at the same time, Moria, who had blocked Somaz's attack with his scissors, was also knocked away.

This guy's strength is also unusually formidable!
Its domineering aura is also incredibly strong!
However, the most crucial thing is—

The surging shadows instantly wrapped around Moria's feet, allowing him to land easily and steadily on the ground.

"Is this... immortality?"

Somaz, whose body was riddled with holes, acted as if nothing had happened and lunged at him again.

His wounds are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Do not!
It couldn't even be called a wound; there was no blood or exposed flesh!
There was absolutely no way to deal with his attacks!

"Hahaha! Do you think you're Roja? Possessing the power to break through immortality!"

Somaz laughed loudly, "A stray dog ​​is just a stray dog ​​after all!"

The Knight of God leaped into the air, and his massive thorny mace slammed down on Moria once more!
"I'm really being looked down upon!"

Moria grinned, and countless shadows surged up, once again piercing Somaz into the sky.

Somaz remained unconcerned and continued to smash his spiked club.

This is how the God Knights fight.

Since we're immortal, feel free to attack us; let's see who can outlast whom.

But in that instant, Moria's body transformed into a blur, suddenly shooting forward.

"what?"

Somaz was caught off guard and smashed a large hole in the deck with his spiked club, causing the entire massive warship to shake violently.

Then he watched as Moria appeared beside his shadow cast on the deck, and then bent down and grabbed his shadow.

"What are you doing!"

Somaz suddenly felt his body go limp.

Because Moria had literally pulled his shadow off the deck.

"Hehehehehe! Come on! Let me see what's different about the shadow of the God Knight!"

Moria chuckled and with a single snip of his scissors, severed Somaz's shadow.

Because of your immortality, you've become far too arrogant, you knight of gods!

Then let me give it one last try!
"Wow!!"

Somaz screamed in agony, "What did you do?!"

After losing his shadow, the bright sunlight shone on him, and thick white smoke immediately rose from his body.

His body was visibly evaporating!
In just a few seconds, under the sunlight, Somaz's body had turned to ashes.

Because the shadow exists because of its master, the shadow in Moria's hand also vanished the moment Somaz disappeared.

"Did you make it?"

Moria was somewhat expectant.

It's a pity Roya wasn't there, otherwise he would have solemnly reminded Moria never to say such things during battle.

If you say you've succeeded, then you've definitely not succeeded.

Sure enough, the scattered ashes began to gather in the next instant, and in just a few blinks, Somaz reappeared in front of Moria in brand new condition.

"Hahaha! Useless, useless, useless!"

With a maniacal laugh, the massive spiked club slammed down on Moria again. "Immortality? That's true immortality! Do you think you're Roja?!"

Moria frowned.

Even the deadly Shadow Stealing technique can't do anything to this guy?
In that case, he would be completely helpless.

Moria gave Somaz a deep look.

That's it for now.

The surging shadows on the deck instantly transformed into spears, piercing directly into the brains of all the demon giants.

Although the Boss can turn these giants into ghouls, he can't take them back now. Let's just deal with them here.

then.

The massive spiked club crashed down, smashing Moria into countless fragments.

"Ok?"

Somaz was taken aback.

The feel is a bit off.

Then he saw the fragments of Moria that he had smashed turn into streaks of black lines that shot into the sky in an instant.

shadow?

That guy already ran away?
"Bastard thing!!"

Somaz roared furiously, "Get back here, you bastard!"

But the ship in the sky had long since disappeared into the clouds.

It's too late to catch up now.

Later, on the large airship that was gradually moving away from the island.

"Report this news to the Boss immediately and have him tell everyone that the Knights of God have been mobilized!!"

The news was immediately relayed to the massive floating island in the new world.

Then it is transmitted to all the airships in the West Sea and North Sea.

After the Knights of God were dispatched, the situation changed completely.

The God Knights were already very powerful, at least on par with the top officers of the major Emperor Pirate Crews.

What's even more terrifying is that they not only possess immortality, but they can also summon each other.

If you encounter a Divine Knight and don't immediately create distance, you might end up facing the entire Divine Knight Order.

Even though the warships that set sail for the North Blue and West Blue were all staffed with high-ranking officers from various pirate crews, it was impossible for them to actually engage in a direct battle with the God Knights.

The airships that had been wreaking havoc in the North Sea and West Sea have all fallen silent.

"The Knights of God have actually been dispatched?"

In response to this situation, the monsters immediately held a short meeting.

The Golden Lion sneered, "No wonder, even if they are far away in the four seas, they can return instantly through teleportation."

"In this case,"

Katakuri looked at Roya and said, "The conquest of the North Blue and West Blue will have to be put on hold for now. Unless you personally take action, even we can't do anything about those guys."

Even they couldn't truly kill the Knight of God.

Only Roya.

"How many Knights of God are there? And how vast are the Western Sea and the Northern Sea?"

Charlotte Linlin chuckled, "Let's play hide-and-seek with them!"

"What's the point?"

Kaido snorted coldly, "Our ultimate goal is to occupy the North Blue and the West Blue. As long as those scum are still roaming those two seas, we'll have to face them sooner or later!"

"That's right."

Redfield nodded slowly, then looked at Roya with interest. "Or, Roya, why don't you go there yourself?"

"We don't need to kill everyone, just a few, and the rest will naturally not dare to continue running rampant on the sea, right?"

"That kind of thing is so boring,"

Roya casually remarked, "Besides, what's the point of just killing a few God Knights? Don't forget that immortality can be mass-produced."

"That's the scariest part."

Katakuri said seriously, "If one day, the high-ranking officers of the Marine Headquarters are also turned into immortals, I really don't know how we'll deal with that!"

He looked at Roya seriously, "We have to get rid of that woman!"

Kill Im?

It might not be that easy.

but.

"It seems the government isn't going to send out any stronger forces. In that case,"

Roya chuckled and said, "Let's end this pointless probing here."

"Let's go to Mary Geoise."

"Oh!"

Kaido's eyes lit up instantly. "Going straight for the enemy's lair, huh? Hehehehe! That's more like it!"

Roya shrugged. "This battle was bound to happen sooner or later."

Golden Lion frowned slightly. "Are you already confident?"

"Let's go take a look first and then talk."

Roya narrowed his eyes slightly. "Didn't the captain cause a ruckus in Mary Geoise back then? It shouldn't be that scary."

"Fight if you can, run if you can't win."

We need to find out exactly what kind of power Im possesses.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.

As for myself now, even if I'm not as good as Im's original form, I shouldn't be too far behind.

Of course, if that guy is just a complete idiot, then he could wipe out the World Government in one fell swoop!
"Jie hahahaha!"

The Golden Lion suddenly burst into laughter, "You brat, do you think running away is so justifiable?"

"But does such a person truly exist in this world, someone who could make you flee in terror?"

Ryder smiled and said, "Even that woman among the Celestial Dragons is no match for you."

He had personally experienced just how powerful Roya was.

It can be said to be incredibly powerful, completely surpassing the limits of human capability.

This level of power was already beyond what he could have imagined before. Could this world really give birth to someone even more powerful than Roya?
"Who knows."

Roya just smiled. "This world is vast. The Celestial Dragons have ruled the world for eight hundred years. Of course, there must be even more terrifying powers hidden within them, right?"

Katakuri rolled his eyes slightly.

Pretending to be pretty similar.

What exactly is the World Government hiding? Don't you know?
"So, are you going?"

Luo Ya asked with interest.

"Hehehe! There's only one answer!"

Kaido laughed loudly, "Mary Geoise? Isn't that the best battlefield? It's time to drag those Celestial Dragons into the battlefield long ago! Let them know what the rules of this world really are!"

"Jie hahahaha!"

Golden Lion also smirked, "I'm also very curious about what else the Celestial Dragons are hiding!"

"Mommy mommy!"

Charlotte Linlin's scarlet lips also blossomed into a wild smile, "Then let's go cause a ruckus! I want to see what's different about a Homie made with the soul of a Celestial Dragon!"

"Then go!"

Ryder nodded leisurely. "Holy Land? Haha, turning that into hell wouldn't be bad either."

"So, Roya,"

Katakuri chuckled and asked, "When do we set off?"

"Now, of course! Let's go, to the top of the world!"
