Chapter 15: Shadow Ball

After many days of torture, Blood Blade was unconscious more and more, and when he woke up, he became more and more irritable and ate more and more. Even so, Blood Blade had so much rest time and ate so much in a day, but his body was getting thinner and thinner.

Moria guessed that the energy obtained by Blood Blade from eating should be used to repair the shadow, but Moria kept "digesting" the shadow, so in the end, the energy went to Moria. During these days, Moria felt that he was energetic, so he could support 24 hours of crazy practice a day.

After so many days of "digestion", Moria's shadow constantly fed back to Moria about Blood Blade's swordsmanship and some physical skills. Moria's swordsmanship began to improve rapidly. Moria basically mastered Blood Blade's swordsmanship. At the same time, Moria could already swing the sword energy and officially entered the level of a first-class swordsman. At the same time, Moria also received some physical skills and improved Moria's offensive methods.

Although Moria had to endure mental shock every day when "digesting" the shadow, and felt very painful every day, but isn't this a kind of exercise? As time went by, Moria gradually adapted to this impact and was less and less affected. During this period, Moria could clearly feel the growth of his mental strength.

In One Piece, awakening the Conqueror's Haki requires extraordinary courage, in other words, it requires extraordinary mental strength, and the Conqueror's Haki cannot be trained, so it is said to be innate. But Moria's way gave Moria the possibility of becoming the "world's strongest Conqueror's Haki".

At the same time, Moria carefully observed that when "digesting" the shadow, something was digested and absorbed and entered Moria's body, and the body was very satisfied. Of course, most of them were inabsorbable, disgusted by themselves, and expelled by the shadow. Although I don't know what I absorbed, I know that it is beneficial to me through the reaction of my body.

Devil Fruit is really an incredible existence. There are still many undeveloped places in my own Shadow Fruit, which I believe will bring Moria many surprises.

When I felt that the improvement brought by "digesting" the shadow began to weaken, Moria began to spend half a day studying my fruit ability.

In this battle, Moria had a very obvious disadvantage, that is, he did not have a long-range attack. Among the moves that Moriah has mastered now, except for the Shadow Horn Gun, which has a certain attack power, the rest of the moves have no effect on the strong, and he urgently needs a move with strong attack power.

On the sea, whether it is the navy or the pirates, those who stand at the top of this world have their own big moves. Sengoku's Buddha Palm Impact, Aokiji's Frozen Moment, Whitebeard's Sea Shock, Kaido's Dragon Breath, and even the Bear Paw Impact of Tyrant Bear, who is also a Seven Warlords of the Sea. It can be seen that if the Devil Fruit ability user wants to become a strong person, he must develop his own big move to have a foothold in the sea.

How can you develop your own big move?

Moriah stood alone at the bow, used the Devil Fruit ability, condensed a shadow ball in his hand, and threw it towards the sea. As a result, the shadow ball scattered, fell into the sea, and disappeared. There was no explosion or shock wave as imagined. Sure enough, I still thought too simply.

How did the explosion happen, and why didn't my shadow ball work? The Shadow Shadow Fruit is the ability to control other people's shadows.

Shadow is an optical phenomenon. It is a darker area formed by an object blocking the propagation of light and unable to pass through opaque objects. Theoretically, shadows cannot leave the human body at all, and there is no way to eliminate them, but the devil fruit did it. Sure enough, it is really incomprehensible to talk about science in this world of One Piece.

Moriah kept fiddling with the shadow in his hand. Since ordinary shadow balls are useless, what about compressed ones? What about Rasengan?

Moriah condensed a shadow ball again, tried to compress it, and finally became the size of a bullet and threw it out. This time the effect was significant, and an explosion occurred, but the power was small, only equivalent to the power of a cannonball, and it was far from the kind of moves that could destroy an island at any time. But Moriah was very happy, at least he found the direction.

Moriah tried his best to condense a huge shadow ball, trying to compress it, and constantly compressing it. The color of the shadow ball continued to become deeper, and a drop of black liquid seemed to condense in the center of the compression. When Moriah felt that he could no longer compress it, he threw it out. At the moment the shadow ball was released, a huge shock wave was generated, waves rolled up on the sea surface, and the ship kept swaying.

At this time, the people on the ship heard the explosion and rushed over. Moria told them not to worry, it was an explosion caused by his own experiment with the devil fruit ability. Everyone heard Moria's explanation and marveled that Moria's strength had improved again.

Although it was successful, it consumed Moria's physical strength. The energy of the shadow ball all came from Moria's shadow, which was a huge burden for Moria. It could only be used twice at most. This result was not what Moria wanted. Although the power was enough to destroy a warship, the consumption was too large and seriously disproportionate. It would be great if it could absorb energy from the outside world.

"Yes, I can absorb energy from the outside world and condense the shadow ball!"

"Hehehehe~"

"I am really a genius."

Everything in the world, whether it is people, animals, flowers, trees, or even dust, has a shadow. Moria can extract a trace of energy from each shadow and condense it into a shadow ball. Where there is light, there is a shadow, and a shadow ball can be condensed. At night, there are shadows, but because it is dark, the shadows cannot be distinguished.

Of course, the range in which Moria can extract shadow energy is also limited, only about 5,000 meters around. As long as Moria continues to develop the fruit ability, the range will also expand.

The Rasengan that Moria tested is several times more powerful than the non-rotating shadow ball. The faster it rotates or the larger the shadow ball is, the greater the power it exerts, but the shadow ball is also more difficult to control.

Looking at the Rasengan that can only double its power, Moria couldn't help but sigh:

"We still have to keep working hard!"
