Grand Line's Lord Of Shadows

"Ahhhh..."

"how so?"

"What happened?"

"Ah...the shadow inside my body..."

"Damn it, the shadow is leaving!"

"No! Lord Moria!!"

…

On the ship of terror.

Not far from the castle.

In a gorgeous but eerie church.

Countless zombies of strange shapes gathered there.

They were originally going to attend the wedding of Lord Absalom, one of the "Three Weird Men", but instead of waiting for the bride and groom to arrive, they were met with a nightmare of despair.

They all screamed and struggled in pain, full of fear and anxiety.

But he still opened his mouth involuntarily, and dark shadows rose into the sky and flew in all directions...

And on the other side of the ship of terror.

"Bang...bang..."

"Damn...what happened?"

The earth shook.

A cloud of smoke and dust billowed up.

A huge, exaggerated figure that covered the sky and the sun also roared unwillingly.

The sound is like a loud bell, and the terrifying momentum makes people's scalp numb.

"Damn it! Ahhhh..."

No matter how huge he is, no matter how unwilling he is, no matter how hard he struggles.

It still opened its mouth uncontrollably.

"Brush..." A black shadow separated from its body.

Rushed towards the direction of the castle.

An unbelievably huge body that was tens of meters tall.

It seemed that all of a sudden the strength of support was lost.

He collapsed there with a bang.

"Boom boom..."

For a while.

The whole island boat.

They all seemed to tremble violently.

Rocks flew and smoke billowed.

Astonishing wind pressure was raging, and the waves were surging on the sea.

It makes one break into a cold sweat.

"This is……"

"Shadow! My shadow!"

"My shadow is back!"

"Great! We can leave!"

“Thank God!!!”

"Woooo..."

And deep in the forest.

Faintly, there were bursts of screams.

A pirate and businessman who passed through this devilish sea in the past, but was snatched away by Gekko Moria, and was forced to be trapped on a terrifying ship, unable to escape or see the sun...

Everyone was ecstatic and cried with joy.

…

And at this moment——

Inside a gorgeous castle.

Looking at the tall figure covered in blood, eyes wide open, lying there unwillingly.

Orbach William, who didn't care about the outside world at all, looked calm.

He took the hand towel next to him and wiped the Bloodline on his hands slowly.

"are you back?"

Looking at the shadow at his feet, he chuckled.

He was an orphan born on an island in the Grand Line.

Born with the awakened Observation Haki, he can easily cover the entire island, sense the target's breath and emotions, and even directly determine whether the other party has hidden malice.

Adopted by an orphanage funded by the world government.

Observation Haki awakened at the age of five due to his birthright.

Moreover, his food intake is astonishing and his body is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Thus being noticed by CP agents.

He was taken to the CP training base Guanhao Island for brainwashing and training.

With his amazing talent, he stood out and became another shining star that has attracted as much attention as Rob Lucci.

When he was eight years old, he accidentally injured his head during a training session.

After awakening "Suhui", I began to remember all the past events, and finally understood what kind of world I had entered.

So, from that moment on, he was unwilling to be mediocre, and he was unwilling to remain a lackey of the World Government, so he began to secretly hide his strength.

And, exercise harder than usual.

Gritting his teeth, he put in two hundred times more effort than others, practicing day and night.

Even when others thought he was asleep, he still stayed awake and cooperated with "meditation" to practice the secret of life return.

With his own talent and hard work.

At the age of twelve, he had mastered all six postures, and at the age of fifteen, he had mastered the return of life.

Today, William, who just turned seventeen not long ago, has already exceeded 5,000 Dao Power.

Not only was the Observation Haki born with it, he also honed it to perfection.

And have already mastered Armament Haki.

He has become the truly strongest person in CP9 for 800 years.

But being cautious by nature, he has always kept a low profile and hid his true strength.

Externally, he only shows talent and strength that are almost the same as Rob Lucci, the CP9 genius, but slightly surpasses his opponent, without seeming too exaggerated.

Until half a month ago.

Received orders from Spandam, the top commander of CP9.

He was asked to follow Rob Lucci and others to the Carrera Company in the Water City as an undercover agent or as a boatman.

He didn't want to waste precious time like Rob Lucci and his team in the original trajectory, and he didn't want the World Government to easily get the Pluton design.

Refuse decisively and want to shirk.

Originally, Spandam had already agreed.

As a result, he was bumped into by former CP9 chief Spangdyne who happened to be coming from the Holy Land to visit his son.

Seeing that his son, the dignified chief executive of CP9, actually gave in because of the opinions of a CP9 member, Spangdain was extremely dissatisfied and overbearingly vetoed William's opinions and tried to use his power to force him to surrender.

The irritated William first pretended to be helpless and agreed.

After Rob Lucci and others set out first, they turned around without hesitation and killed Spandam and Spandam, the father and son who had long been displeasing to him and wanted to kill him.

He even snatched two Devil Fruits that had just been escorted to Enies Lobby, and were about to be sent to the Holy Land Mariejois through the giant vortex current connecting the three major agencies of the World Government.

He defected directly and magnificently.

Unfortunately, we encountered a huge storm.

He strayed into the Devil's Triangle and broke into the terrifying ship.

He was even targeted by Gekko Moria, the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

After a fierce battle, he was finally crushed by Moria, who had greatly increased his strength after devouring hundreds of shadows with the power of the Shadow Fruit.

After waking up, he found that he had not only lost his shadow.

And he was imprisoned by Moria in the prison at the bottom of the castle.

Therefore, William, unwilling to be slaughtered by others, began his own revenge plan.

Relying on the already extremely skilled return of life, the broken and dislocated bones were put back into place.

After he recovered a lot from his serious injuries, he directly used Life Return to greatly reduce his size and escape.

With the return of life, he changed his body shape, disguised himself as a zombie, and waited for opportunities to act.

He also saw his own zombie, the Demon Oz.

It is definitely different from the original MAX version, and not only is it proficient in the six styles of Grandmaster, it may also be the kind that has mastered Haki.

But as a CP9 elite trained by World Government.

How could William be stupid enough to confront someone head-on?

The results apparently went well.

Being suppressed by Kaido, he completely lost his spirit. Coupled with the excessively comfortable Shichibukai life for many years, the former West Blue hero completely relaxed.

Moria is dead, and she's dead.

"Then what happens next..."

But suddenly.

William just turned around.

I accidentally caught a glimpse of the fruit plate next to me.

The whole person's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he stood there blankly.

"That is……"

I don’t know when it started.

A round fruit wrapped in large leaves, dark inside and with strange patterns, has quietly appeared on it.

"Paramecia·Shadow Fruit?"

Step forward subconsciously.

After picking up the fruit, William was in a daze.

Having seen the Devil Fruit illustrated book before, he naturally recognized this fruit.

This is clearly the shadow fruit belonging to Moria.

It seems that after the other person's death, the "demon" escaped from his body and was reborn directly.

But he didn't expect that it would appear in front of him like this.

"Ah la la, does this mean you chose me?"

William stared at the shadow fruit and smiled lightly.

Although, it's not that he doesn't have other options, he doesn't necessarily have to choose it.

But he had to admit that he was a little moved.

After all, no matter how the version changes.

The ability of Paramecia·Shadow Fruit is one of the very buggy abilities.

Gekko Moria, the guy who was tortured by Kaido and lost his energy and became a fat nerd.

It simply didn't fully unleash its power.
