Grand Line's Lord Of Shadows

"Clang-"

Inside the gorgeous castle.

The huge icehouse was opened.

A ghastly scene was revealed.

Frozen corpses were lined up there.

It makes one's scalp tingle.

"Lord William, do you want to create new zombies?"

Hogbagu asked curiously as he moved the heavy lighting equipment.

In recent days, they have not encountered any targets that strayed into this sea area.

And the shadows looted from the imprisoned pirates and business travelers have almost been used up.

They were all implanted into ordinary zombie soldiers by William.

It is said that those people are too weak and the shadow cannot meet expectations.

Only worthy of being the weakest zombie soldier.

"No, I just want to do an experiment!"

William shook his head.

Staring at these corpses with burning eyes.

Many of these corpses from all over the world were strong men with considerable strength during their lifetimes.

Among them, there is not only the body of Gekko Moria, the Seven Warlords of the Sea himself.

There are also the corpses of Wanokuni's former famous dragon-slaying samurai and swordsman Ryoma, who once belonged to the Rocks Pirate, the infamous Captain John and other strong men.

After being repaired by Hogba Gu, their bodies have been completely restored.

"Experiment?" Perona and Hogbaguba were curious.

But when he saw the other party, he didn't say anything, so he had to obediently set up the equipment there and turn on the light source.

For a moment, he watched William pick up the body of the swordsman Ryoma and place it in front of the bright light.

A black shadow appeared there.

The two of them were a little dazed: "Sir William, do you want to rob the shadow of the dead?"

Unexpectedly, the other party wanted to rob the dead man's shadow.

"I heard Master Moria say that the shadow of a dead person is like a corpse that has lost its soul. It does not have any consciousness and cannot be effective..." Hogba Gu reminded there.

The shadow of the dead can be cut out.

But it's like losing a soul, even if it's placed inside those corpses, it can't move.

There is no way to create a conscious zombie.

"Why do you think that only the shadow of a living person has value?"

An incredible scene happened.

As if tearing off a shadow-like sticker stuck to the ground, William pulled up the shadow of Ryoma's corpse.

Looking at the outline of the corpse of the swordsman Ryoma, without any struggle, he said lightly: "Don't be misled by the so-called 'common sense', it will only limit your vision and imagination... Moria is too I’m too arrogant, so I can’t give full play to the power of the shadow fruit!”

Immediately afterwards.

He manipulates his shadow.

Let it be directly visualized and turned into a pair of sharp scissors.

You're welcome to cut out the shadow of Ryoma's corpse.

"brush!"

In the astonished eyes of Perona and Hogba Gu.

He directly put Ryoma's shadow into his body.

"Buzz..." My whole body shook slightly.

Seemingly enlightened, he stood there with his eyes closed.

"This is?"

Hogbagu's pupils shrank sharply.

"I understand, Sir William wants to obtain the swordsmanship of the swordsman Ryoma during his lifetime..." Perona suddenly realized and cried out.

next moment.

William opened his eyes.

With a stern look, he took Ryoma's sword.

The famous sword Qiu Shui ranked among the twenty-one great swords.

"Rang——" Cold light flashed, and the black knife with jagged patterns was unsheathed.

An extremely fierce aura burst out from him.

The hair on Hogcubagu's and Perona's faces stood up in horror.

It seemed that what he was facing was not the usual Sir William.

Rather, he is a great swordsman who has been famous for a long time.

"Shadow Mage!"

In the surprised eyes of the two people.

A black shadow flew out from William's feet.

"Shadow Warrior!"

Not long after.

His entire body disappeared in an instant, replaced by a dark shadow.

and the shadow that had already flitted outside the castle.

Replaced position.

In the open space outside the castle.

William still had his eyes closed.

He stood there for a long time, motionless.

Nobody knows.

At this moment, in his mind.

Showing one incredible scene after another...

A swordsman genius born in Wanokuni, Shimotsuki clan.

He has been taught by famous teachers since he was a child. He has studied hard day and night and practiced diligently.

When he was young, he was arrogant and high-spirited, constantly challenging the famous swordsmen of Wanokuni.

He even killed the flying dragon that caused trouble in the sky over Wanokuni and attacked the town, and was known as the "Dragon-Slaying Samurai".

Even when facing those powerful enemies.

He never flinched, but became more courageous as he fought.

Constantly breaking through his own limits and defeating powerful enemies one after another.

In the battle with those strong ones.

Although he often won, he was inevitably injured.

He also received permanent scars on his face and lost one eye, becoming a one-eyed warrior.

He was deeply ashamed and reflected on himself all the time.

I think this is caused by my lack of spiritual practice.

Instead of relaxing in the glory and adulation, he honed his sword skills even harder...

finally--

In his prime, he became a master of swordsmanship.

Refined Saber Qiu Shui into a black sword.

Became a veritable great swordsman.

Any enemy was quickly chopped to the ground in a flash, easily ending the battle.

Admiral, who once fought against the Naval Headquarters alone, single-handedly stopped the World Government and pirates who wanted to invade Wanokuni.

He never failed in his life and became famous at home and abroad.

…

"Lord William..."

Wait until Hobacuba and Perona ran out of the castle one after another.

William, who was standing there, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Is this the past of the swordsman Ryoma?"

His eyes were stern.

The whole person has an astonishing aura and is somewhat sharp.

It was as sharp as an eagle, making it impossible to look directly at it.

"Pah, pah..."

Stomping your feet.

Stepping into the atmosphere, he surged into the sky.

Holding the black knife Qiu Shui in his hand, he suddenly drew a swift trajectory.

"Ittōryu·Feilong!"

"call out--"

A loud roar broke through the air.

A fiery slash.

It transformed into a swift flying dragon, where it spread its teeth and claws and galloped out like lightning.

"Boom..." Rocks flew and smoke filled the air.

A ravine of about ten meters or so appeared there.

Although the scene was far less than before, William used Shadow Revolution to make himself huge and then unleashed the Tempest Kick.

But it's also frightening.
