Chapter 329 - 187

Chapter 187"Luffy is amazing!"Chopper and Usopp came to their senses and hugged each other excitedly, jumping and shouting; the oppression of being besieged by the Zombie Generals just now was swept away.As for the remaining zombies, they were already shivering with fear, wishing they could dig a hole and crawl into it.In the distance, the castle's main mast became precarious due to the impact just now, looking as if it would collapse at any moment.Nami looked at the messy battlefield, which seemed to have been baptized by a natural disaster, and whispered, "Is Luffy going to dismantle the entire ship?"This was no ordinary sailboat, but a ship as huge as an island.Sinking an island with one hit—is this their Captain?Vivi looked at the place where Oars had disappeared from a distance, still feeling lingering fear: "What about that Moriah? Is he gone along with him?"Robin pondered, "Under such an attack, I'm afraid his chances of survival are slim."However, just when everyone thought the battle was over, a rustling sound suddenly came from the ruins that Oars had turned into, along with Moriah's exasperated scream."Damned Straw Hat! How dare you destroy my precious Oars!""Brick Bat!"Beneath the ruins, a sharp, strange sound rang out.A bit of Moriah's onion-like hairstyle was exposed.Under Luffy's world-destroying Spiral Sword Dance, it was a stroke of luck that he survived, but he had clearly paid a significant price.Water-like shadows split in the air into one small ball after another, transforming into small shadow bats that rushed straight toward Luffy, densely covering his body and surrounding him.*Snap.*Luffy shook his hands, and the group of bats suddenly exploded.They scattered around like ink.The onion-shaped head swayed from side to side, and a huge hand clawed out from the ruins, sweeping away the wreckage of the bed and revealing an extremely tall figure.Moriah's huge figure crawled out in a rather wretched state; he looked begrimed with dust, and there were many bloodstains on his body, though he was clearly much better off than Oars, who was dead without even a scrap remaining.At the last moment of Oars' body collapsing, the Shadow Sorcerer ability still allowed him to escape the disaster.Moriah's eyes widened, bloodshot veins visible on his eyeballs, as he stared fixedly at Luffy.He was now extremely furious!The zombie giant he had plotted for so many years had actually been slashed into nothingness by Luffy's single sword strike.What kind of joke was this?The results of his many years were gone overnight!At this moment, Moriah somewhat understood Crocodile's feelings.*Boom!*Luffy dropped from mid-air, looking at Moriah with quite a bit of surprise.As expected of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?His life-saving abilities are top-tier.Moriah stared fixedly at Luffy, who was surrounded by white flame clouds and blue-black shadow aura, burning with rage. "Straw Hat, you bastard, you actually destroyed all my years of preparation! That was my means to compete for the title of Pirate King!"Luffy couldn't help but retort, "Going to compete for Pirate King with just one giant? Are you still dreaming?""..." Moriah was choked up.He could have argued with anyone else, but since Luffy had cut Oars until not even a scrap was left, what else could he say?Moriah was in a very wretched state as he just managed to stand up.However, as soon as he struggled to his feet and before he could even catch his breath, his vision blurred!Chapter 269: A Final GambleLuffy's figure appeared in front of Moriah like a teleportation, and his foot, covered in blue-black shadow aura and white flame clouds, kicked Moriah's demon-like face with unrivaled power!His body was sent flying once again.*Pwah!*Moriah suffered a heavy blow, and his entire face was twisted and deformed.His huge body crashed heavily into the ruins further away, stirring up dust all over the sky.Luffy landed lightly and patted the non-existent dust off his trouser legs."I thought you Seven Warlords of the Sea would be a bit stronger, but now it seems you're just so-so," Luffy said with a look of disappointment."Bastard!" From beneath the ruins, Moriah let out a low growl."Brick Bat!"The ruins exploded, and Moriah's figure stood up again, let out a sharp, strange cry.The floating black shadow water clusters split upon command, turning into countless small shadow bats like a black tide, densely covering Luffy and instantly wrapping him into a squirming black sphere!"It's not over yet!""You're quite durable, but you must have felt it with that punch just now," Luffy said as his body shook, and the shadows on him turned into ink.A vein popped on Moriah's forehead. "You're talking about Haki, aren't you?"And it was a very powerful Haki.Luffy grinned at Moriah. "Now that you know, why don't you return all the shadows?"A vein popped on Moriah's temple as he shouted, "As expected of the guy who fought with Aokiji, your Haki has actually reached such a level, but if you want my shadows, impossible!""Is that so?"Luffy grinned. "But nothing is impossible; all the shadows will be able to go back once I defeat you."Moriah began to sneer: "Kishishishishi, what an arrogant guy. Do you really think you're invincible just because you know Haki? Haki is nothing in the face of Devil Fruit abilities!"An even darker shadow inexplicably appeared at Moriah's feet, like a viscous black liquid floating up from the floor, gathering into a constantly squirming giant black shadow water cluster, which soon solidified into Moriah's appearance.Shadow Sorcerer!That shadow was much faster than Moriah; it was a flexible fat man. After approaching Luffy, its hand with sharp claws tried to press down on Luffy's head.*Boom!*Luffy threw a punch, and the shadow was instantly sent flying.Luffy's strength was now immense, and having so many shadows had affected his personality a bit, making him very arrogant. He glanced sideways at the shadow, "Is this all the strength you have?"In this state, entering the Gear Second Plus state, red and black Haki patterns appeared on his blue-green skin.With his long sword on his back, he extended one hand and punched toward the shadow; a terrifying fist wind appeared, blasting a hole in the shadow with a roar.But Moriah's shadow seemed unaffected and continued to attack Luffy very actively."It's useless! Shadow Sorcerer is a shadow that ignores any damage; this is much more powerful than a Logia-type Devil Fruit, as it can ignore all damage."Moriah laughed loudly, "Straw Hat, Haki is not invincible. An ability user who has developed to the extreme can crush a Haki user! Since you defeated my Oars, then give me your shadow!"Luffy just wanted to rush over and hit Moriahdirectly, but that shadow appeared in front of him as quickly as chewing gum, attacking continuously; whether it was effective or not was one thing, but it was indeed quite annoying.Moreover, it had a very strong purpose: to consume his Haki."Haki is not infinite, and no matter how strong Hakiis, the consumption of physical strength is the same."Moriah seemed to recall some bad memory and said through gritted teeth, "There are times when Haki is crushed by even stronger Haki. Only zombies are invincible!""A guy like you can't possibly understand my words right now, you hot-headed brats.""Humph, after I snip off your shadow, you'll understand as you watch me ascend to the position of Pirate King!"This was the summary of Moriah's experience from the first half of his life."Power that relies on external things is the weakest; only one's own strength is true strength. Let me teach you this lesson."Luffy gave an arrogant smile and launched a sprint.*Bang!*The sound of a sonic boom came from the air, and a huge fissure instantly split open on the ground. The so-called Shadow Sorcerer blocking Luffy was directly dispersed, scattering on the ground as ink dots.Ability?Abilities are nothing in the face of absolute physical constitution and Haki.In the blink of an eye, Luffy was already in front of Moriah.Just as Luffy's fist was about to hit Moriah."Shadow Warrior!"A cluster of shadows replaced Moriah's body, and the positions of the two sides swapped."Snake Fist!"The fist that was hitting Moriah's shadow suddenly turned a corner, quickly darting toward Moriah's original body that had swapped with the shadow.Moriah, who had just dodged Luffy's thrust, was about to gloat, but when he looked back, he saw the Haki-laden fist coming at his face like it had a precision positioning system. Instinctively, his hair stood on end; he couldn't tank this kind of attack.Subconsciously, he used Shadow Warrior again, returning to his previous position."I was waiting for you," Luffy growled.A punch to the face.*Rumble!*A shockwave fell from mid-air, and the ground instantly collapsed, creating a deep pit.Moriah spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to get up in the deep pit. Looking up, he saw Luffystaring down at him from the edge of the pit.That terrifying posture reminded Moriah of the fearsome guy who had defeated him back then.It was like going back decades to the man Moriahmet at his peak, who hit him back to reality with an iron hammer."Kaido!"Moriah let out a sharp cry, "This time I won't fail again!"He spread his hands, letting his shadow branch out and begin to spread around, "I got the answer from my own experience!""Why did I lose those famous and capable subordinates? Companions and such—it's because they are alive that they are lost!""If they were zombies from the beginning, there would be nothing to lose! Zombies are immortal; even if they are purified, they are infinite soldiers that can be used again! I will lead this army of the dead to aim for the position of Pirate King once more!"The surrounding zombies let out sounds of panic.Because the shadow tentacles spreading out from Moriah were taking away the shadows of the zombies."You should feel honored that your shadows can provide me with power! Creating you was for this very day."Luffy had given him inspiration.Since the Straw Hat kid could use his shadows like this, why couldn't he?He could have even more shadows!Shadow tentacles tried to seize the shadows on Luffy, but they were dispersed by Luffy's Haki-laden fists.Moriah laughed arrogantly, "Straw Hat, there should be a hundred shadows in you, right? Then I'll have even more!""It's not over yet!"Moriah panted heavily, and his huge palm suddenly slapped his own shadow, "Shadow's Asgard!"He suddenly looked up and raised his hands, and those branching shadow tentacles absorbed the shadows of all the zombies on Thriller Bark.He wanted to take back the shadows scattered among all the zombies for one final gamble!Although this would make his precious zombie army completely useless, for the sake of power and to defeat this monster-like rookie in front of him, he didn't care anymore!Luffy subconsciously looked around.More black shadows flew from every corner of Thriller Bark, like a black torrent, pouring into Moriah's huge body!Moriah's size began to expand further, his muscles bulging like balloons, and his aura became even more violent and chaotic."100, 200, 500... 1000!"Stopped🔊 Browser
