The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated

He finally managed to get part of the will of the legendary swordsman Ryoma to awaken in the shadow of the skeleton!

The superhuman [Shadow Fruit] can control one's own shadow or cut other people's shadows. It can absorb the shadow leaving the human body or put the shadow leaving the human body into a corpse to make a zombie.

The shadows of the living and the dead can be cut out.

However, under normal circumstances, it is useless to cut off the shadow of the dead person, because the shadow of the dead person has no consciousness and no fighting experience in life.

So he always attacks living people.

Take action against those unlucky ones who broke into the Devil's Triangle and encountered the terrifying three-masted sailing ship.

But a few years ago, he changed his attitude towards the shadows of the dead. Because he met a living skeleton named Brooke, who was good at swordsmanship and a devil fruit user. And the Devil Fruit that the other party ate was an extremely special [Yellow Spring Fruit].

The ability of the Underworld Fruit is to resurrect people once after death.

Resurrected as a skeleton.

Although he knew that his shadow fruit could not bring out the fruit abilities of other esper users along the other party's shadow, he still wanted to try. Even if it's just the power of bringing out a few underworld fruits from Brook's shadow, maybe it can awaken some of Ryoma's memories during his lifetime?

then.

He tried.

Put Brooke's shadow into Ryoma's corpse.

But he doesn’t know if it’s the resonance between swordsmen, or the “vitality” in Brook’s shadow and the years of rooting, or the special nature of the underworld fruit and Ryoma’s obsession that remains unwilling even after his death... He doesn’t know the specifics. What was the opportunity to do something? After many years, some of Ryoma's will miraculously recovered during his lifetime.

The aura of a strong man is definitely not something that a third-rate swordsman like Brooke can possess.

(Actually, this phenomenon is the ability of the Shadow Fruit. The surgeon, one of the three monsters under Moriah, asked for the "resurrection" of Bai Yueguang, the dancing girl Sindori, because she did not eliminate the memory of the past, so she retained (retained many habits, skills and even memories during his lifetime).

At this point, he has a pretty good swordsman under his command.

He should be satisfied too.

But when he thought about the companions who had been tortured and killed by Kaido, and when he thought about the terrifying power of Kaido's monster, he couldn't be satisfied with this.

therefore.

He tried again.

He cut out the shadow of Ryoma's corpse, packed the shadow that had some willpower in life, and put it into the body of Demon Oz together with the shadows of Brook and many living swordsmen!

And prepared a machete dozens of meters long for Oz!

This is his attempt.

It would be terrifying to think about it if the unparalleled power of Oz the Demon could be combined with the swordsmanship of the Great Swordsman.

Maybe he can even fight Kaido.

"There's no rush, Kaido. Let's try it on the one in front of us first."

The huge sword blade swept through the air, trying to split Li Xia in half; the sword energy flew out with a tearing sound, which was the swordsman's signature skill "Flying Slash". One blow tore a slender hole in the sky shrouded in thick fog. The sun then shines down.

“It’s quite capable.

pity…

Not much more. "

Li Xia shook his head and saw the problem with the giant demon in front of him.

This product should be just a test product in the experimental stage.

It does have a terrifying power that far exceeds the "thousands of tons" of ordinary giants. Since the 67-meter-tall Oz is the leader among the giants, even if he does not have the bonus of domineering and power fruits after death, his power is ten thousand. Thousands or even hundreds of thousands of tons!

However, the shadow controlling this body is not pure.

Moria seems to have injected many shadows of living swordsmen into the body of Demon Oz. Although these shadows are far less powerful than Ryoma, how could they easily succumb to the will of a dead person? Even a little bit of resistance will prevent Ryoma's will from being "harmony".

"Don't show shame at things that are in the experimental stage."

Ten green-gold diamond chains poked out from behind, and five of them tied Oz, making him unable to move. The other five shot towards the gigantic Moria, and were able to restrain it immediately.

Moria was shocked when she felt Oz's powerlessness.

That was Oz, the demon known as the "Luck Country".

A monster that could move even an island in its heyday.

However, he was still tightly imprisoned by strange chains.

That’s true for Oz, but what about him? Therefore, he naturally did not dare to pick it up by himself.

But dodging was useless. Those chains were fast and accurate, and even formed a barrier with magical suppressive power.

‘I’m going to suffer! ’

Seeing that the chains coming from the electricity were about to wrap around his huge incarnation.

Moria secretly thought something was wrong.

Then he had to use his own life-saving skills.

‘Shadow Warrior. ’

This fruit ability allows you to escape from the body's shadow and exchange positions with the main body, thereby dodging the opponent's attack, which is very useful. This technique can also exchange part of one's body with a shadow, or exchange part of one's body with a part of a shadow.

While he had previously released bats to attack Li Xia, he had actually let the shadows fly away from the terrifying three-masted sailing ship in a fair and just manner, taking three of his men away with him.

"Want to run?"

Li Xia smiled with interest as he watched Moria's body and shadow exchange instantly.

He was even more optimistic about the Shadow Fruit.

Because the opponent's substitution method reminded him of Uchiha Sasuke's Tenshou, and part of the substitution was like Uchiha Obito's Kamui.

Tenshou's power is to exchange places with the target, but it is not limited to one's own shadow. The distance is much shorter.

Divine power is to send the part of the body that is about to be injured to the divine power space, thereby avoiding almost all injuries. The shadow will always exist and will not be destroyed by any form of attack. This can help the main body to withstand unlimited damage; and while sustaining the damage, it can also continue to attack the opponent unexpectedly.

However, Moria's physical skills are too poor.

It is obviously a devil fruit with a very high limit, but it cannot be displayed well because of the host's own crotch.

other end.

The seaside three or four kilometers away.

Moriah, who had returned to normal, was running away with three subordinates on his back. He was able to escape onto an escape boat that had been prepared all along, and then quietly said goodbye to this place.

"Hmph, although you are powerful and can easily suppress Oz, you never thought that I could exchange places with my own shadow, right? Hmph, play with my shadow slowly, and wait until you find something is wrong. , I have escaped far away..."

The big fat man smiled proudly.

Then he glanced back subconsciously.

It was this glance that made his smile freeze, his eyes gradually widened, and a look of horror quickly filled his face:

"Damn it! Who is this person?"

Five chains were seen flying over his head, and then a transparent barrier quickly opened to block most of the terrifying three-masted sailboat. That magical suppressive force acted on him again, making his body become extremely heavy.

"No no no..."

The boat was only ten meters away from him, two or three steps away.

But at this moment, the distance between them is not two or three steps, let alone more than ten meters, but a distance that will never be reached.

The power that even the Nine-Tails can suppress is not something that the brute strength of a mere giant clan can compete with a Moria?

…

Moria, the user with shadow fruit ability.

Perona, the user with the spirit fruit ability.

Absalom, the user with transparent fruit ability.

Hogback, once a world-famous genius surgeon, created many surgical miracles; even Chopper, the Straw Hat Pirates' "ship doctor" and part-time "pet", was surprised by this guy's superb surgical skills. The zombie army under Moria was made by this guy, and Oz's body was also perfectly mended by this guy.

After acquiring these four people, the independent dark room will naturally have four more tenants.

‘Can Im defend against soul attacks? ’

While muttering softly, he looked at a woman who was patched together in the corner of the castle:

"Why go into a fight you don't want to be a part of?"

The woman's name was Sindori, and she was a dancer during her lifetime. After her accidental death, Moria won over the surgeon who had been secretly in love with her on the condition of resurrection.

The so-called resurrection is actually to sew the corpse of the deceased together and then stuff the shadow of a living person into it to turn it into a zombie.

Moria used this to create an army of zombies that have been serving as cannon fodder.

This female zombie is Moria's last struggle.

But it has no effect.

At the gap in the ruined castle, Sindori looked up with a numb face:

"Zombies are born to be obedient, right?"

Her voice was cold and her eyes were cold, but Li Xia saw sadness in her eyes.

"Zombie?"

He shook his head:

"Miss Sindori, in my eyes, you are a human being!"

Sinduoli, who still retained many memories of her life, trembled for no reason after hearing this.

And at this moment, Li Xia seemed to hear the thumping heartbeat.

That was not the heartbeat of him and Moria.

But apart from a few of them, Sindori is the only one left here.

"Could it be..."

He looked sharply at the woman's chest.

He looked towards the source of the heartbeat.

The dead heart in the woman's body actually started to beat!

Moreover, Xinduoli, who had a numb face at first, was inexplicably bursting into tears at this moment!

How is that possible?

This woman is a zombie!

Do zombies also have heartbeats, sadness, and tears?

"Devil Fruit is really a magical thing!"

What a pity…

"Miss Sindori, I'm sorry, everything you have been given by the Shadow Fruit may disappear soon. By then, you may be..."

Sorry.

Li Xia sighed lightly.

Once Moria's power is taken away by him, the zombie army that exists because of Moria will naturally not be spared. Sindori will also turn into a corpse again.

"No, thank you, thank you for your recognition, thank you for freeing me, thank you for letting me find the proof that I belong to the human race..."

Facing Li Xia, Xin Duoli, who was originally numb, smiled a smile that only appeared during her lifetime and never appeared again after her death.

During these years in the castle, she was just Huogubak's zombie maid and a zombie slave, and she never gained anyone's recognition.

Therefore, she is really grateful to the people in front of her for allowing her to regain her emotions and dignity as a human being.

The fog that had shrouded this area all year round seemed to feel Xin Duoli's mood at this moment, and it slowly dissipated, giving this originally dark sea area a clear light.

Warm sunlight shines in here.

It dissipated a lot of the chill.

This scene left Moriah and the genius surgeon Hogbark on the side stunned.

"How is it possible? My Shadow Fruit can actually resurrect the dead?"

"Impossible, impossible, Sindori was really resurrected? But I never noticed! Sindori..."

Huogubak struggled violently and wanted to rush forward and hug him.

That's his white moonlight.

He only joined the Moria Pirates for Sindori. But when he understood that Moria could only help him resurrect a cold corpse, he no longer regarded Bai Yueguang as a human being! Just treat it as a special zombie slave.

"What have I done all these years?"

To this.

Xin Duoli in the corner also smiled back, and then bowed respectfully and gratefully to Li Xia as a farewell. Finally, she faced the sunshine that she had never felt since she woke up, and disappeared in the brilliance in an instant.

"No... I will trade my life for hers. I can do anything you want. Please... Sindori... don't..."

Huogubak broke free from Li Xia's restraints and rushed to grab it like crazy.

Wanting to drag the woman back into the shadows.

Because the living and dead who have lost their shadows cannot be exposed to sunlight, otherwise they will be instantly destroyed.

But he was still slow and only caught a little bit of green smoke.

How could a liberated soul be willing to be captivated and enslaved again?

…

"Want to meet your descendants? Mr. Ryoma."

In the square in front of the castle, Li Xia chatted with a skeleton.

This skeleton is the skeleton of the legendary swordsman Ryoma.

The shadow in Demon Oz's body has been released by his control of Moria, and has returned to this skeleton. Therefore, Ryoma at this time has some of his own memories.

"My descendants?"

The skeleton was slightly stunned.

"Well, his name is Zoro. He is a very outstanding young man, and he is also a very motivated swordsman. If you teach him some skills, I think it will save him a lot of detours."

Li Xia said with a smile.

Although Zoro's master Koushiro was a powerful swordsman, he had given Zoro a lot of care since childhood and helped Zoro lay a solid foundation; but he was more of a swordsmith. The swordsmith who forged famous swords and the Taoist Monogram.

Compared to a true combat swordsman, he is still somewhat inferior.

"Thank you."

Ryoma nodded, he really wanted to see his descendants.

At this time, Li Xia immediately called out Sauron and asked Sauron to quickly go to the distant woods to whisper with his ancestors.
