Chapter 155: Crush!
Moria grabbed half of his own shadow with one hand, looked at Aoun and Yamato, and showed an extremely crazy smile:
"Hehehehe, luckily I was prepared and moved 'that' out in advance... Keep your eyes wide open and take a good look at it, little goat, this is a masterpiece that I originally planned to leave for your shadow to use!"
As he spoke, the remaining half of Moria's shadow spontaneously condensed into a huge palm, and he pushed open the castle door with one palm, revealing the huge thing inside.
It was an oversized corpse that was more than sixty meters tall, with a hideous and terrifying face, like an evil ghost in hell.
"Then, what is that?"
Rhea, who was fighting Jigoro, accidentally glanced at the huge figure and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
Robin subconsciously raised his head when he heard the voice, and after seeing the figure clearly, he couldn't help but have a look of shock on his face:
"With such a huge body, could it be the legendary 'Demon' Oz who left behind the legend of destiny!"
"That's right!"
Sindori threw out the extremely sharp plate and cut it towards Robin, and said with a sinister smile:
"That corpse is Oz the Devil, a super villain who would move his opponent's entire country back to his own territory once he defeated his opponent hundreds of years ago! Next, the corpse will also be controlled by Lord Moria!"
Almost as soon as Sindori finished speaking, Moria had stuffed half of her shadow into Oz.
If you are using someone else's shadow, using half the shadow will naturally not work, but Moria's shadow is different.
As a user with the Shadow Fruit ability, he can change the posture of his shadow at will, and can even make his shadow into a shadow clone called "Shadow Mage" to resist attacks.
Even if he only cuts off half of the shadow, he can rely on the Shadow Fruit to complete the half of the shadow, so that the shadow is enough to motivate Oz to fight.
Roar~
With a deafening shout, Oz, whose eyes were originally closed, suddenly opened his eyes, with a cunning look in his eyes similar to Moria's.
"Hehehehe, kill you! Take away your shadow!"
The Moria version of Oz angrily stood up holding the door frame of the castle. The huge figure looked down at Yamato. Yamato, who was two meters tall, was not even as tall as the opponent's toes in front of this huge body.
If it were anyone else who was targeted by such a behemoth, they would definitely scream in fear, but Yamato's face did not show any fear, but was full of high-spirited fighting spirit.
"Want to kill me? It depends on whether you have the ability!"
As he spoke, Yamato had already raised Takeru, who was covered in ice, and strode towards Oz.
…………
"I'm curious about something." Aoun looked at Moriah who was staring directly at Yamato and asked:
"Having cut off half of your own shadow, how much combat power can you exert to become my opponent?"
Hearing Aoun's words, Moria reluctantly looked away from Oz and Yamato, turned to look at Aoun and said seriously:
"I admit, it's hard for me to compete with you without half of my shadow and unable to use some wide-range moves, but it's enough to protect myself, isn't it?
As long as I don't think about defeating you and only use the remaining half of my shadow for defense, you will never be able to defeat me in a short time.
Looking back over there, how long do you think Kaido's daughter can resist Oz? Even Kaido himself might not be able to bear that kind of physique!
I just need to defeat Kaido's daughter first and stuff her shadow into Oz.
By then, with me in my prime and Oz with the shadow of Kaido's daughter, what qualifications do you, a goat kid, have to fight with me? "
"It sounds reasonable at first glance." Aoun affirmed Moria, but the expression on his face was full of sarcasm:
"But is there a possibility... Even if I face you at your peak now, I can easily trample you under my feet, let alone you who are only half a shadow."
"In addition..." Having said this, Aoun raised his finger and pointed at Oz in the distance:
"Having witnessed how terrifying Kaido is eighteen years ago, do you really believe that that kind of guy can defeat Kaido?"
"That goes without saying!" Moria's face was full of confidence:
"What Kaido relies on is just his huge body from the Blue Dragon Fruit. If I had the physique to withstand that huge body, I might not be able to defeat him!"
Aoun looked at Moria with a strange expression. After a moment, the strangeness gradually turned into pity.
He had some reaction.
No wonder Moria in the original work has clearly seen Kaido's terror, but his behavior is even more outrageous than Crocodile's.
Crocodile finally found one of the three ancient weapons as a sustenance, and this guy actually thought that he could avenge his shame just by relying on Oz and the shadow of Luffy who had just left the sea.
When he was reading the comics, he thought that the reason why Moria was defeated by Kaido 23 years ago (calculated in 1522) was because he was strong enough and qualified to fight against the peak Kaido.
But thinking about it now, Moria is actually only eight years younger than Kaido. When the two of them fought, one was 27 years old and the other was 35 years old. They were actually still in the period of rapid growth in strength.
(Apart from the cheating Straw Hats, the general peak of strength in the pirate world is between 45 and 60 years old)
Kaido at that time might not even have mastered the domineering entanglement, and the fight between the two sides was not a confrontation between the top-notch strong men of the time.
It was just that in the twenty-three years after that battle, Kaido was still trying to train himself and make himself stronger until he became the top of the Four Emperors.
But Moriah became depressed after that, and lived a life of drunkenness and dreaming in this Devil's Triangle all day long.
This guy probably didn't know what the domineering entanglement was at all.
Even when he saw the news that Kaido could become a Four Emperor, he probably thought in his heart that if I had a huge body that could withstand Kaido's blue dragon form, then I would be able to become a Four Emperor...
Frog in the well!
Compared with Old Sand, who had at least seen how terrifying the peak Whitebeard was, Moriah was the real frog in the well.
No wonder Old Sand could rise quickly two years later in the original work, while Moriah could only be humiliated by Teach on Beehive Island...
"Boy, what do you mean by that look?"
Moriah noticed Orne's strange expression and couldn't help asking.
"Nothing, I just suddenly felt you were quite pitiful." Orn looked at Moria very sincerely and said so.
Moria looked at his compassionate expression and felt very unhappy inexplicably, but considering his "brilliant plan", he was happy to continue to delay time, so he just snorted coldly:
"Whatever you think."
Oun guessed what Moria was thinking at this time, and felt that Moria was a little pathetic in his heart, and at the same time he took it as a warning in his heart.
In this pirate world, once you lose the will to move forward, Moria will be your fate...
"For the sake of the lesson you taught me..."
After a while, Orn, who adjusted his mood, took a deep breath and looked at Moria and said:
"Let me tell you a cruel truth, Moria."
"What truth?" Moria didn't understand what Orn was talking about.
"The truth is..."
Oun "swish" and disappeared from the spot, and in the blink of an eye he flashed in front of Moria.
Before Moriah could react, Orne's fist covered with Armament Color had already hit Moriah's face:
"You have lived in your own world for too long, so you don't know how vast the outside world is!"
Moriah was knocked out by Orne's sudden punch, and his six-meter-tall figure slammed into the wall of the castle, leaving a huge water drop-shaped pit.
"wryyyy~~~~!!!"
After finally getting out of the pit, Moriah lay on the ground and rolled in pain, making screams like "a hundred-year-old vampire being illuminated by the sun".
Pain, pain, pain...
Moriah, who had not been injured for 18 years, pressed his swollen cheeks with both hands, and his brain almost stopped working at this moment.
Why does it hurt so much? It's just an ordinary fist covered with Armament Color, why does it hurt so much!
After a long time, Moria gradually regained his sanity from the pain. He gasped for air, pointed at Orn with a trembling finger and screamed:
"You, you damn despicable villain, you actually attacked me when I wasn't paying attention!"
"When you weren't paying attention? Attack?"
Owen looked at Moria with a swollen cheek, and the compassion on his face became more and more obvious.
Should I say that he is worthy of being the weakest Shichibukai? Such a performance is really worse than Crocodile.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is my normal speed on weekdays!"
"You are talking nonsense!" Moria was so angry that his temples were throbbing. He even forgot his "brilliant plan" and subconsciously wanted to activate his fruit ability to fight back.
Scattering bats!
At this moment, half of Moria's shadow suddenly exploded, and the shattered shadow turned into shadow bats, flapping their wings and biting towards Orn.
Being able to precisely control each bat to block Ornn's evasion path and launch an attack shows how well Moria has developed his own fruit ability.
But unfortunately, this level of attack is really a joke to Ornn.
Ornn only needs to activate his Observation Haki to accurately determine the attack trajectory of each shadow bat.
He doesn't even need to dodge with razor or moon step. Ornn's feet are rooted in place. Just a small swing of his body is enough to easily avoid all the bats' attacks.
One second, five seconds, ten seconds, thirty seconds, one minute...
Time passed by, and Moria, who was controlling the flying bats, felt that his spirit was a little weak, but Ornn still didn't move a step, and there was no trace of injury on his body.
Damn, it's Observation Haki.
Moria looked at Ornn strolling in the garden, and his teeth were chattering with hatred.
He knew about Observation Haki and had possessed this power before, but he was helpless against it at the moment.
"Are you tired of playing? If you are, it's my turn next. Get ready, I'm going to attack."
Ornn reminded Moria very "kindly".
The next second, his figure disappeared instantly.
The flying bats around him couldn't stop him for even half a second - the bats only had a pair of fangs, and if they couldn't bite Ornn, Ornn could just hit them and send them flying.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Countless afterimages appeared in Moria's sight.
Where? Where is he hiding?
Moria's eyes followed the fast-moving figure and tried to lock onto the entity's location, giving the other party a hard blow to prove himself.
But no matter how focused he was, he could not lock onto Orne's figure.
"Don't look for it, I'm here."
The next moment, Orne's voice suddenly sounded behind Moria. Moria was startled and subconsciously grabbed the huge scissors beside him and stabbed behind him.
He thought his stab was as fast as lightning, but in fact, he was not a "flexible fat man" like Jinbei. He had not fought for 18 years, and the fat on his belly was enough to cover his entire leg. In Orne's opinion, this stab was as slow as a turtle.
Feimo's heavy blade easily knocked off the stabbing scissors and hit Moria's back, and then... Explode!
In the huge explosion, Moria's figure rushed forward in a mess and fell like a standard dog eating shit.
"Asshole, asshole, asshole!!!"
Feeling the burning sensation on his back, Moria subconsciously reached out and touched it. Looking at the blood on his palm, he began to scream uncontrollably:
"I'm going to kill you!"
But before he could stand up, Orn had already kicked him on the back.
The already injured back was further injured, and Moria couldn't help but gasp in pain.
However, in the interval of gasping for air, Moria squeezed out two words from his teeth:
"Shadow Box!"
Orn's observation color issued a warning in time, but he did not choose to dodge, allowing the shadow emerging from under Moria to form a black box to imprison Orn in it.
"Hehehe, I've locked you up. Now, I want to see how you can escape!"
Moria struggled to stand up, looking at the shadow box that fell to the ground and kept tossing and turning, showing a cruel smile.
Panting heavily, Moriah picked up the huge scissors from the ground with difficulty, and pointed them at the shadow box:
"Let me see, from which angle should I cut you in half!"
After thinking for a long time, Moriah finally found the right angle, and the huge scissors were about to fall.
But at this moment, the originally square shadow box expanded rapidly.
A pair of goat horns first pierced the shadow box, followed by the limbs, the torso...
Before Moriah's scissors fell, Orn had already burst the shadow box with his human-beast form. At the moment of bursting the shadow box, his fist once again hit Moriah's long and thin face just right.
Two nosebleeds flowed down, and Orn looked at Moriah who was covering his nose with a playful face, and couldn't help but sneered:
"You are useless even if I give you a chance!"
