[Paramecia-type Shadow-Shadow Fruit: Allows the user to control their own shadow, which can be used as a substitute to defend against attacks or to replace the user.]

It launches an attack, and its strength is equal to that of the ability user.

The shadow itself can also split and change into various shapes to attack, such as splitting the shadow into a bat to bite the opponent or trapping the opponent in a shadow box. The shadow is like water and has no fixed shape; it can be destroyed and then reformed.

Users with this ability can also freely switch positions with their shadows to dodge attacks, and can also control other people's shadows.

The user can pull apart someone's shadow as if tearing duct tape, and at the same time cut off the target's shadow. The person whose shadow is stolen will be burned to ashes if exposed to sunlight. If the stolen shadow is placed inside a person's body, it can turn them into a zombie. The zombie itself has the same combat power and personality as the original shadow owner, but the Devil Fruit ability cannot be transferred to the zombie.

However, if the cut-off shadow is placed into a living person's body, the shadow's power can be transferred to the person into whom it was placed. However, this requires a mental strength far exceeding that of an ordinary person. An average person can only insert two or three shadows at most, while a person with strong mental strength can insert up to 100, and a true ability user can insert up to 1000.

Looking at the description of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, Mashiro felt dizzy; this was the first time she had ever seen such a complex Devil Fruit ability. "Sorcerer, you've come to my Thriller Bark and attacked my crew! Do you want war?!" Moria roared.

A series of black bats flew out from behind him. Moria's true form was then revealed.

With a scallion-like hairstyle, two horns on the sides of his forehead, and pointed ears and teeth, his head and neck have crisscrossing sutures resembling stitched wounds. He looks like a demon, wearing a bat-collar shirt and Gothic-style clothing, making him look incredibly sinister.

"So you're Moria? You must be quite strong." Mashiro said with a light laugh. An hour later.

The entire Thriller Bark was reduced to ruins, littered with broken zombies, and a colossal giant zombie lay sprawled on the ground, Moria covered in blood, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Impossible?! How could this be?! My zombie army actually..."

Moria also had a passionate period, recklessly drifting the seas until he encountered Kaido in Wano Country, where his pirate crew suffered a crushing defeat.

All of Moria's companions were killed in this battle, which dealt him a heavy blow. He believed that "because we live, we lose," so he abandoned the living and abandoned life itself.

Hidden in the dark mist for decades, they finally completed their zombie army.

He originally intended to use this army to avenge himself against Kaido, but unexpectedly, they were all wiped out by a newly appointed Shichibukai. This is impossible!!!

Moria roared, and countless shadows surged out from the fallen zombie's body, then continuously poured into Moria's body.

This is Moria's strongest move, and one he has never used before. "Shadow Gathering Ground!"

Moria's body grew enormous, and he roared as he slammed down with his palm. Mashiro took flight to dodge.

The palm landed on the ground, causing the ground to tremble, dust to fly up, and several cracks to appear.

Sensing the immense power contained within, Mashiro laughed and said, "That's more like it." He stretched out his finger and drew a cross in the air.

An invisible slash landed on Moria, but it didn't even break his skin.

"His defense has also increased significantly? I wonder how long he can maintain such a huge increase in power," Mashiro muttered to himself.

Chapter 57: Perona

Moria struggled and attacked Mashiro repeatedly, only to be easily dodged by her. "You damned bug!"

Moria roared, splitting his shadow into numerous bat-shaped shadows.

The bat-shaped shadows continued to attack Mashiro. "Scattered Bats!"

In response, sheets of white paper floated down from Mashiro's body, folding into origami cranes. These origami cranes then approached the shadow bat.

Moria was furious, but completely helpless against Mashiro. Mashiro looked at Moria with a hint of resentment.

It's truly tragic that after paying such a high price and hiding in the shadows for so long, all they've gained is this kind of power.

Shinpaku's Rinnegan with its tomoe appeared. He pointed a finger at Moria, and a beam of white light shot out, striking Moria's massive body. "Shinra Cube..."

In an instant, Moria's body twisted, followed by a shrill scream, as countless black shadows were squeezed out of his mouth.

Meanwhile, Moria's body continued to shrink. Eventually, all the shadows returned to their original form.

Moria also reverted to his normal form, coughing up blood as he collapsed to the ground.

After Moria collapsed, Mashiro used her Byakugan to scan the entire Thriller Bark. A moment later, she found the Poneglyph embedded in the ship's hull.

Using her personal storage space, Mashiro put away the Poneglyphs, then called Claire, who had been hiding deep inside the ship, and also brought along the unconscious Perona.

This trip to the Devil's Triangle has now come to an end. Ohara.

At this time, Ohara was already showing signs of prosperity.

Scholars and their families, along with some commoners who had come with caravans, were among the group. Stusi further fueled the rapid development of commerce on the island.

Kibsen and Umit ensured uninterrupted warehousing and transportation.

With Morgans's occasional promotion, many people have even started to make a special trip to O'Hara to settle down. Coco and Mariano are strolling through the burgeoning commercial street.

In addition to the various merchants brought by Stussy, many scholars also began to set up stalls to sell books and small inventions in the commercial street.

"Nunu, what kind of person is Mashiro-sama?" Coco asked curiously. "She's a very strange person. Sometimes she's scary, and sometimes she's very reassuring."

"In short, she's a good person," Mariannu said thoughtfully. "I see," Coco said softly.

"By the way, Coco, why are you so interested in Li Aiguo?" Marianu asked curiously.

"I am just grateful to her. I heard about Ohara from my teacher. As a land of scholars, I have always longed to go there. It's just a pity that Ohara was destroyed because of some things."

"Now that she has rebuilt O'Hara, rebuilt the land of learning, I am so grateful to see so many scholars gathered together in my lifetime," Coco said happily.

“I see.” Mariannu scratched her head, not particularly impressed by the scholar’s ​​strange sentiments.

Coco is a student of biologist Lorena. She is 14 years old and about the same age as 16-year-old Mariano, so the two got along well after they met.

They get along very well and often go shopping together.

"In any case, it's better to stay away from her. I accidentally saw her do something bad to Michita before." After hesitating for a moment, Mariannu said with a blush.

"Something bad has happened? She hit Sister Michita?!" Coco exclaimed in surprise. Mariannu didn't answer; she didn't know what to say.

"Let me explain. I've never hit Michita. You can ask her yourself if you don't believe me." Just then, a clear voice came from behind the two of them.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Marianu froze instantly.

Coco turned around, smiled, and greeted, "It's been a long time, Mashiro-sama." "It's been a long time, Coco." Mashiro gently patted Coco's hair.

Then, with a half-smile, she looked at Marianu and asked, "Hmm...it's really disheartening that I'm seen as such a person in Marianu's heart, hmm..." Hearing this, Marianu turned around, smiled ingratiatingly, and obediently took Mashiro's arm, saying, "How could that be? Master, in my heart..."

He was a perfect, godlike figure.

Marianu always remembered the tip Michita had given her: "When facing your master, no matter what happens, just act cute first."

"Alright, alright, I didn't mean to blame you. It was just a coincidence that we ran into each other," Mashiro said softly. "Yes, Master," Mariannu chuckled.

"By the way, Marianne, how far have you progressed in your ability training? Can you separate your body yet?" Mashiro asked with a smile. Hearing this, Marianne's face immediately fell, and she said, "I'll go practice in a bit."

"Alright, you guys play first. I have some things to do, so I'll be going now." With that, Mashiro patted both of their heads and walked away with a smile. She walked to a building in the central area and went to a room in the building.

Perona was holding a cute little teddy bear, Zombie, and anxiously pacing around the room looking at it.

"Honestly, where am I? How is Lord Moria?" "And what about Hogback and Absalom? What happened to them?" "How did I end up here?"

"Could it be?! I've been captured by the Navy?!"

When Perona woke up, the first thing she saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.

After getting up, she found herself bound with Seastone shuriken, unable to use her Devil Fruit powers, and feeling extremely weak. The only thing that reassured her was that her beloved Kumasi was still by her side.

Just then, footsteps approached, followed by the sound of a key opening the door.

Perona hugged the teddy bear tightly and looked towards the door. "Crack!"

Mashiro's figure appeared before Perona. "It's you!" Perona exclaimed.

"How is it? Not bad, right?" Mashiro said with a light laugh.

"Where am I? How did I get here? Where is Lord Moria? What happened?" Perona asked impatiently.

Hearing Perona's questions, Mashiro quietly sat on the bed and whispered, "Answer one question at a time. Where is this? This is my territory, Ohara."

Why are you here? Because you have been captured by me, and are now my captive.

Moria, I've already defeated him. He's been left in the Devil's Triangle along with the soon-to-be-shattered Thriller Bark. I wonder if the Navy will go there and pick up the pieces.

"What happened then? It's simple, I fought Moria, and I won in the end." Upon hearing this, Perona was stunned, her eyes widening.

So much shocking information flooded her mind at once, and she couldn't quite process it all. Mashiro quietly watched Perona.

Perona is very cute, has a powerful Devil Fruit ability, and a luck rating of 70. Mashiro thought she was quite good, so she brought her back. Because of Perona's powerful Devil Fruit ability, Mashiro even borrowed Seastone darts from Peacock to prevent any accidents.

"Aaaaaaah, this is impossible! Lord Moria could never be defeated by you! I don't believe it!!!" Perona said sadly, tears streaming down her face.

Perona was taken in by Moria when she was a child and has always regarded Moria as her father. She respects and loves Moria very much, and she is completely unable to accept this news.

"Don't cry, Moria should be alright. At worst, he'll just be captured by the Navy," Mashiro said softly, handing a tissue to the weeping Perona. "You, you're not cute at all. I hate you," Perona cried, taking the tissue from Mashiro and wiping her tears as she cried.

"You must be very worried about Moria's safety. I can make sure he's safe, but only if you stop crying." Mashiro said helplessly, looking at Perona who was crying incessantly.

Upon hearing this, Perona stopped crying and looked at Mashiro with teary eyes. 30.

Looking at Perona, Mashiro had absolutely no idea where to begin; it was the first time she'd ever met a girl with this kind of personality.

"I will contact the Navy and have them check on Moria's situation. If he's alright, that's best. If he's already been captured by the Navy, I can help you rescue him."

But the prerequisite is that you have to obey.

"If you understand what I mean, just nod." Mashiro said softly. Perona nodded obediently.

"Then, don't move now!" Mashiro calmly commanded.

Then, taking a tissue, he began wiping away Perona's tears. After wiping them all clean, he continued with satisfaction, "Alright, you can move now." Perona pouted and looked at Mashiro, saying, "Then, when can you let me out?"

“That depends on your performance. If you are obedient and behave well, I will give you your freedom back,” Qi Bai said. Hearing this, Perona puffed out her cheeks, somewhat displeased.

Mashiro stretched out her finger and poked Perona's cheek with interest, saying, "As a prisoner, I've been good enough to you. You should feel fortunate."

Perona remained silent, glaring resentfully at Mashiro.

“Now, call me ‘Master’ first,” Mashiro said softly. “Pervert,” Perona muttered.

"Hmm?" Mashiro chuckled as she looked at Perona.

“Master, Master,” Perona said reluctantly. “Riding~” Mashiro reached out and gently stroked Perona’s hair.

Chapter 58: Strange Eye Technique

After the joint efforts of hundreds of researchers in Ohara, a method to connect the floating islands was finally devised.

By utilizing ocean currents, hyacinths, and the floating shells of the sky islands, a special route is formed. At the same time, special cloud tunnels are also created on the sky islands.

A boat, using hyacinths as sails and sky island shells as its base, guided by ocean currents, eventually takes off, enters a cloud tunnel, and finally reaches the sky island.

This will be a huge undertaking.
