Grand Line's Lord Of Shadows

"rumble--"

Deep inside the castle.

The huge cold storage is opened.

Corpses appeared in front of William and Perona.

"Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss~, are you shocked?"

It’s different from the ugly and horrifying skeletons and mummies on the left.

The corpses on the right are arranged in an orderly manner.

It's so lifelike.

Not as rotten as imagined.

It was as if he had just died and been frozen.

Moreover, the leader was the tall corpse of Moria.

Even the disastrous wounds caused by William's Finger Pistol have been repaired.

In mint condition.

"Lord Moria..."

Perona's eyes widened.

Full of excitement, he jumped forward.

Tears are about to flow.

"Sir William, except for Moria's body, I have only repaired these zombie generals including the swordsman Ryoma and Captain John..."

Dr. Hogbugu pointed at these corpses and said with pride: "We haven't had time to get the other corpses yet!"

After listening to William’s suggestion just now.

He was no longer obsessed with the destruction of Sindori's body.

Instead, he was full of expectations for the future, thinking that after these days of busy work, Mr. William would completely trust him.

Then apply for an advance of "salary" for the next ten or twenty years.

Go to the population auction house in Sabaody Archipelago and buy a female slave who is good at singing and dancing.

Transform and train her into the perfect Sindori.

"You did a good job, it was indeed perfect..."

William nodded with satisfaction.

Looking at the corpse of the swordsman Ryoma, it no longer had the previous skeletal posture, revealing a resolute and aging face.

Even the trunk, limbs and other parts showed no traces of decay.

It was as if he had really just died.

The zombies created by implanting shadows in this way will definitely be able to maintain stronger combat power.

He was somewhat looking forward to the appearance of Majin Oz after he was completely repaired.

"Then, are you ready to resurrect these guys?"

Dr. Hogba Gu asked full of expectation.

"Lord William, please help me resurrect Kumasi..."

Perona's eyes lit up.

He immediately couldn't wait to beg William.

At the same time, he deliberately turned his head and gestured towards Dr. Hogbubaku, and said loudly: "Also, Hogbakuba, please remember to help me transform Kumasi, preferably in a kawaii way!"

Her favorite zombie toy, Kumasi, has become unable to move due to the loss of its shadow.

Naturally, I hope William can "recover" it.

"Hiss~hiss~hiss~, I won't help you, you brat!"

Dr. Hogbagu was very proud and squeezed the other party.

"Damn it, you third-rate fat otaku doctor!" Perona bared her teeth angrily and glared at this guy.

"Nani? What did you say?"

"Third-rate doctor! Fat bastard!"

"Smelly brat..."

"Don't make any noise yet, be quiet..."

William waved his hand.

Stopped the quarrel between the two.

He walked towards Moria's body: "I'm going to do an interesting experiment!"

In the astonished eyes of Perona and Hogba Gu: "You want it?"

"brush……"

Only the shadow at William's feet was seen.

As if it had self-awareness, it flew directly up.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, it sank into Moria's body.

"brush--"

Without warning.

Moria, who was already dead and her body was frozen, suddenly opened her eyes.

Perona and Hogba Gu were shocked.

Subconsciously retreated behind William.

Watching there.

"Bang...bang..."

"Moria" stood up.

Stretching your body there, pumping your fists, swinging your legs...

There was a strong wind pressure.

"shave!"

Suddenly.

"Moria" stepped hard.

At an astonishing speed, it disappeared in place like lightning.

Appeared at the other end of the cold storage.

"If I control it myself, Moria's body will be able to exert considerable fighting power!"

Staring at "Moria", William frowned: "But, without real consciousness, it is better to plunder other people's shadows and make them into zombies!"

Through the ability of the Shadow Fruit.

Able to implant other people's shadows into corpses.

Create a zombie with independent personality.

Logically speaking, the shadow of the ability user's own should be more effective.

Moreover, maybe it can be made into the most advanced Homitz like BIG·MOM.

"It's useless, Lord William..."

Dr. Hogba Gu reminded there: "Master Moria has tried this before, but he needs to inject his own shadow into the corpse, and he needs to be distracted all the time to control..."

"This kind of puppet without self-awareness is not a real zombie at all!"

"This is how Oz's body was brought back!"

He had seen it before.

Moria attached her shadow to the demon Oz.

Manipulate this ancient giant who has been dead for hundreds of years and place its huge body in the castle.

"Yeah?"

William raised his eyebrows, not surprised.

It is impossible that Moria has not tried such an experiment.

"Bang, bang..." He manipulated Moria's body to sit back down.

A dark shadow separated directly from his body.

Moria returned to her original appearance again.

Not moving, not moving anymore.

"Do you want to turn Moria into a zombie?"

Dr. Hogba Gu said there: "With the ability of the Shadow Fruit, only by injecting other people's shadows into the corpse can you create conscious zombies!"

"That's not necessarily true..."

William was noncommittal.

He believed that the power of the Shadow Fruit was much more than that.

BIG-MOM's Paramecia·Soul Soul Fruit ability can use the user's own soul to create the most advanced Homiz.

In the same way, the Shadow Fruit may not be able to create the most advanced zombies.

Just take some time to develop your fruit abilities in depth.

Everything is possible.

"Dead people can control it, but what about living people?"

William's eyes were burning.

He looked at Hogba Gu and Perona.

He directly selected Perona as the target of the experiment: "Perona, stand still and don't move!"

"Lord William..."

Perona was shocked.

But there was no time to dodge.

In the blink of an eye, under William's control.

The swift shadow clone had already arrived in front of her.

"Possessed by a puppet!" It was like a fluid, and everything came from its open mouth.

"Ah! Well..."

Perona exclaimed.

His whole body was shocked and turned pale with shock: "My body..."

As if he had lost control of his body, he moved involuntarily.

Came in front of William.

“Negative Ghost!”

Raise your right hand.

A translucent, somewhat eerie ghost.

It flew out from Perona's palm and floated in the air.

"Gulu! You can actually use Lord Moria's abilities so quickly!"

Perona felt as if her body was out of control and was being manipulated by invisible forces. She couldn't break free at all. Perona's face was full of shock and she couldn't believe it.

Moria can also do such a thing.

She had seen Moria use her shadow to manipulate corpses or living people.

But how long did it take for William to gain the power of the Shadow Fruit?

You can already use it so skillfully.

"Sir William, you are indeed powerful, and you are worthy of being chosen by the Shadow Fruit..."

Dr. Hogba Gu was also a little surprised.

With a flattering smile on his face, and while flattering him, he reminded William: "Use the ability of the Shadow Fruit to control other living people and use its fruit abilities... It is indeed possible, but it requires Just be very skilled.”

"Furthermore, if the target's willpower is too strong, it may break free."

"Even if you can't break free, if you resist during the battle, it will still have a great impact!"

"Is that so?"

William nodded.

The shadow clone was taken back.

Released the hold on Perona.

For a guy like Moria who has lost his spirit and is completely decadent.

There is no need to use such a troublesome way to manipulate others by using shadow clones.

Because normally, no matter how strong the pirates in the first half of the Grand Line are, they cannot be stronger than Gekko Moria himself.

There is really no need to be distracted by controlling these ability users to fight. You can simply use the Shadow Mage to easily crush the target. It is simple and crude.

Moreover, Moria, who stayed in the first half of the Grand Line all year round and hid in this devil's foggy sea, rarely encountered those with relatively powerful abilities.

But, Moria didn't know that at all.

This is where the true value of this ability lies.

"This is an unexpected surprise!"

The corners of William's mouth raised and his eyes flickered.

There are some special fruit abilities in this sea, but they are quite useful.

Even if it can only be manipulated briefly, it can also play an unexpected role.

What's more, just wait until your strength reaches a higher level and develop the ability of the shadow fruit in depth.

It may not be impossible to do it, just like manipulating the zombies created by implanting shadows.

Turn others into puppets who obey your orders.
