It's roughly the level where one person can take on an entire army and sweep away thousands of troops.

For ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, this is usually their limit.

As for the higher-level types of the Zoan type, there are Ancient species, and even higher-level Mythical Zoan species.

Esdeath did not have such expectations, because those two kinds of fruits were extremely rare, especially the Mythical Zoan type, which was even rarer than the "strongest" Logia type.

Although the fruit she won at auction had an indistinct pattern, which might have been a gimmick suggesting it was an ancient variety, she didn't hold out much hope.

If so, that's best; if not, it doesn't matter.

Esdeath put the Devil Fruit into the box and got up to leave the auction house.

As she opened the door, the scene before her brought a beautiful smile to her face.

A group of burly, wielding weapons and exuding ferocity blocked the entrance to the auction house.

"This is really..."

Esdeath chuckled and shook her head.

Although she had expected someone to try and steal it, she really didn't expect them to just block the doorway.

"Hey girl, hand over the Devil Fruit obediently, and the old men will be a little gentler."

The pirates' lewd gazes swept over Esdeath repeatedly, their arrogant laughter undisguised.

"Oh?"

Esdeath couldn't help but laugh, her body bending over with laughter, her hands resting on her face and supporting her head.

"How dare you say that!"

His expression changed, and an astonishing chill burst forth from his body, transforming into a howling wind that pierced the bodies of everyone in front of him like needles.

"you……"

The leader of the pirates opened his mouth to hurl insults, but his body did not respond to him.

"Can't...can't move?"

My body felt as if it had been cast in steel, completely stiff and unable to move.

Her skin turned purplish-black, and a large amount of flesh and blood were frozen to death by Esdeath in an instant.

"So cold...so...sleepy...this feeling...is so strange...is she coming up? What's she doing? What's wrong with me..."

Thoughts become confused and hesitant, accompanied by the instantaneous necrosis of the body, and the brain is slowly ceasing to function.

This was something Esdeath deliberately made him experience, allowing him to slowly fall into the abyss of death while he was still somewhat conscious.

With a flick of his arm, a sharp sword made of ice crystals appeared in his hand.

With steady yet relaxed steps, Esdeath approached the leader of the pirates.

“Brush~~”

No blood flowed out; all the blood in his body had frozen. His head slammed to the ground and shattered.

A few drops of brain matter and blood were spilled out; these were the only remaining tissues on his body that hadn't been frozen into ice sculptures.

"A bunch of idiots."

With a disdainful glance at the pirates who had turned into ice sculptures, Esdeath swung her sword to the side.

The tangible sword energy destroyed everything in front of it, carving a path through the ice sculpture.

Large amounts of ice sculptures were crushed into dust, which was thrown into the air by the sword energy, forming grains of ice dust that slowly fell, reflecting the sunlight. The entire street appeared colorful and exceptionally beautiful, as if one were in a magical realm.

This beautiful scene is made up of corpses; perhaps when the ice melts, it will be remade into flesh and blood!

If ordinary people knew about this situation, they would probably be very reluctant to be touched by these ice dusts.

But Esdeath is clearly no ordinary person.

"This is so boring..."

He made a disgusted sound and strode out along the newly opened road.

Corpses and blood were not taboo for her; on the contrary, they were essential to her life.

She was a woman who couldn't survive without being on the battlefield and personally participating in the fighting.

Her life had always consisted of only two things: fighting and the journey to fight.

If the overwhelming conquests in her own world had made her feel a bit bored, and she wanted to find some new fun...

Now that she has stepped into a new world and is facing new battles, she has completely put those thoughts behind her.

After all, she is someone who lives and breathes combat; preventing her from fighting is worse than simply killing her.

Chapter 12 Moonlight Moria

"Gecko Moria, user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, bounty of 240 million, was... right!"

Luo Hao held the bounty comparison and looked at the figure in front of him whose shadow had completely enveloped him.

Standing about six meters tall, comparable to a two-story building, with a broad build resembling a gourd, and a devilish appearance, with two horns on the side of its forehead, and pointed ears and teeth, it wears a shirt with a bat-shaped collar and Gothic-style clothing.

As Luo Hao recounted his glorious past, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"It's me, kid. What do you want?"

The enormous body looked down at Luo Hao, who was only a third of its size, with a grinning face, seemingly not taking Luo Hao seriously at all.

"I'm here to kill you."

Luo Hao rolled up the bounty poster, put it in his pocket, and then pretended to stretch his body.

"Kill me? Hehehehehehehe~~"

Moria let out a devilish laugh, mocking Luo Hao's words.

"Hey, did you hear that? Boss, he said he's going to kill you! Hahahaha..."

"How terrifying!"

Moria's crew members couldn't help but laugh at Luo Hao.

This short guy with absolutely no reputation is actually saying he wants to kill their captain, Moria? This great pirate with a bounty of 240 million?

How could I not make them laugh?

Moreover, Moria's shadow had completely enveloped Luo Hao.

"Kid, you must be a bounty hunter! You dare to come looking for me, so you must have some skills, but... you don't seem to have enough information about me!"

Moria grinned maliciously, the shadow beneath him writhing.

His Shadow-Shadow Fruit allows him to control shadows, causing them to undergo substantial changes, thus interfering with reality and causing physical damage.

The simplest application seems to be manipulating one's own shadow to launch direct attacks.

"Shadow Horn Gun!"

The shadows rose from the ground, transforming into countless spears that pierced towards Luo Hao from all directions.

Throat, eyes, heart, lungs—everywhere that can cause serious injury has a corresponding target.

These shadow spears are powerful enough to pierce naval warships, and when released unexpectedly at people, they are virtually invincible.

In an instant, Luo Hao was riddled with holes by the Shadow Gun.

"Oh? So that's how it is!"

Moria looked at Luo Hao, who was pierced by several shadow spears, and laughed loudly.

"So he's a Logia-type Devil Fruit user. Interesting. No wonder he dared to challenge me."

At the point where the Shadow Spear pierced Luo Hao, streaks of lightning flickered slightly. Moria recognized it at a glance as the elemental transformation of a Logia-type Devil Fruit user.

"Zizi~~"

A bolt of electricity shot out from Luo Hao, transforming into a lightning spear that hurtled towards Moria.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle~~"

Intense flashes of lightning, and a blinding white light dispelled the shadows.

Arcs of electricity flickered in the air as Moria slowly lowered his arm, revealing a layer of black energy enveloping his wrist, which had been protecting him from the lightning.

Luo Hao recognized this thing; it was a specialty of the One Piece world—Haki, Armament Haki that could enhance attack and defense.

"Logia-type Devil Fruit users are indeed remarkable figures within Paradise, given how rare Haki is here. Logia-type users are inherently invincible through their elemental transformations, no wonder you dared to challenge me. But... hehehehe..."

Moria's wrist was surrounded by Haki, his muscles bulged, and his playful laughter did not stop.

"You've chosen the wrong opponent!"

He threw a punch with a fierce motion.

The air exploded, and the massive airflow was compressed by his fist, which was as big as a sand pot, forming a tidal wave of air that crashed towards Luo Hao.

"I'm not one of those small fry!"

"Boom! Buzz buzz buzz!"

A violent gust of air rolled in, stirring up dust, distorting the air, and making a cacophony of sounds.
