"Of course I do."
A huge figure emerged from the shadows; Moria had already arrived behind Luo Hao.
He reached out and grabbed Luo Hao's shadow.
"I admit you're strong, and ordinary methods are useless against you, but... I was one step behind! My Shadow-Shadow Fruit possesses extraordinary abilities. Hehehehe~"
Moriah's laughter echoed inside the shadow box, sounding exceptionally terrifying and jarring.
"I'll give you one more chance. Become my first mate! Let's head to the New World together and become the kings of the world."
"This time it looks more like it."
Luo Hao chuckled lightly without turning his head.
At least for now, it seems that Moria is going to win, and his offer of surrender is quite reasonable.
but……
"I'm here to kill you today, and you're going to die anyway."
"Hehehehehe~~ You may not know, but my Shadow-Shadow Fruit has the ability to extract a person's shadow from their body. Once the shadow is extracted, all it takes is sunlight to expose you to it... and you will turn to ashes."
Moria wasn't annoyed. Instead, he explained to Luo Hao with a smile. He felt that Luo Hao probably still didn't know what his situation was. Once he understood, he would make a rational choice.
"Haha... I can tell you really want me to be your first mate, but... I really am going to kill you too!"
Luo Hao wasn't in a hurry. Moria was indeed quite interesting, and chatting with him for a bit was quite enjoyable.
"Why? If you want money, we can pool our resources, whatever it takes. Or are you here for revenge? Do you have relatives in the villages and towns I slaughtered?"
Moria was puzzled. In his view, he had victory in his grasp. If he wanted, he could take away Luo Hao's shadow in an instant and open the shadow box, turning him into ashes.
He also told Luo Hao about this situation, but why?
How could Luo Hao remain so calm and still insist on killing him?
He was very curious.
Chapter 14 Moriah's Terror
"Ah...you're quite quick-witted! There aren't that many reasons, it's mainly to become stronger, so I'm going to kill you."
Luo Hao couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Moria's "story".
Frankly speaking, Luo Hao's reasons for wanting to kill Moria would make even Sherlock Holmes shake his head.
Killing someone on the go is just as troublesome as it is.
The reason for killing someone to steal their abilities is quite absurd in this world.
After all, the common knowledge here is that after a Devil Fruit user dies, the Devil Fruit will randomly appear in any corner of the world.
Taking away someone else's abilities is a very rare method.
Therefore, Moria was also confused and unable to understand.
However, he did understand one thing: becoming the first mate was impossible.
and so……
"Fine then. Taking your shadow is enough to gain a portion of your power. Don't worry, I'll definitely find you a good body, one that can unleash your full potential. Shadow Severance!"
Moria's eyes flashed with malice, and with a yank of his arm, he pulled as if tearing a cloth, about to drag out Luo Hao's shadow.
"!!!"
But things didn't go as he wished, and his body stiffened even more.
"It would be embarrassing if you made a promise without even trying and then failed."
Where in a mere C-level world can one find true causal abilities?
According to Luo Hao's "analysis," Moria's method of pulling out shadows is the ability to extract life force.
Because of the lack of vitality, the body's various immune systems will disappear, so when exposed to sunlight, it will be easily burned by ultraviolet rays.
That's a really strong ability, but it's not like they're cheating.
To completely break free from the shadow of others, Moria must possess at least an equivalent level of life force.
However, even without pulling it out completely, a considerable amount is still required.
The difference in life force between Luo Hao and Moria is too great; Moria simply cannot even budge him.
"..."
Moria understood this as well.
His face turned terrified.
Although he had just jokingly called Luo Hao a "general," he did not believe that Luo Hao truly possessed the qualities of a general.
But now, he feels he might actually have it.
Being unafraid of danger doesn't mean he's brainless. He's very clear about his current strength. Facing a monster at the level of a general, he has absolutely no chance of winning. He doesn't want his journey to end here.
"Shadow Warrior!"
The figure turned into a shadow and disappeared from the spot.
"Quick, let's go! This person is very strong; I'm no match for him."
Moria shouted, warning his companions to stop watching.
“Zizzizi~~”
The lightning tore through the shadow, and the huge shadow box was ripped apart from the inside by the lightning. Then Luo Hao's figure rapidly approached him.
"They're getting serious now..."
Moriah immediately realized this.
"Run! I'll hold him off!"
After warning his companions once again, Moria opened his massive, fang-filled mouth.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah----"
A sharp, terrifying scream erupted from his mouth, and the shadow that had been covering the ground rapidly shrank back towards him, while his body began to expand continuously.
Seven meters, eight meters, ten meters... thirteen meters,
Moria's body had grown to twice its original size, and he sat on the island like an ancient castle.
"what!"
Boom~~
The sound was deafening, and a violent shockwave swept across the area, sending up huge plumes of smoke and dust that blotted out the sky.
"captain!"
Moriah's crew didn't even have time to react before the situation had turned out this way.
They didn't even know what had happened.
"Following the captain's orders, prepare for evacuation."
The one with authority immediately spoke.
Although their strength is decent, they are still far inferior to Moria.
Their presence here will only hinder Moria's fighting or... escape; they will be a burden.
Therefore, it was natural to carry out the order and retreat first.
To free Moria from constraints.
"what!"
Screams came from afar, and the crew members instinctively looked over.
The enormous Moria was screaming in agony, having already lost an arm.
"captain……"
The crew watched in disbelief at the scene, which had a profound impact on their will and spirit.
As they traveled from the four seas to Paradise and back to here, Moriah's power and majesty became deeply ingrained in their hearts. In their minds, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call Moriah a god.
Even during their recent retreat, they only believed that they had hindered Moria's battle.
But now, it is clear that Moria is at a significant disadvantage in this battle, and it looks like he will be killed very soon.
"captain!"
One of them gritted his teeth, let out a shout, and charged toward Moria.
Then, almost everyone rushed towards Moria's direction.
……
"So strong..."
Moria's face was ashen, and he stared breathlessly at Luo Hao floating in front of him.
Now he realizes just how ridiculous he had been.
