Chapter 146 Black Knife Autumn Water

"This is more reasonable."

Looking at the drastically changed Moriah in front of him, Rhodes nodded with satisfaction.

"You're too arrogant, kid!"

Moria roared loudly, and then slammed down his huge fist.

After absorbing more than 600 shadows, Moria's body has expanded to about 20 meters, and his skin is also exuding a light cyan color. Coupled with his ferocious face because he has reached the limit of endurance, It looks like a demon from hell.

"Well done!"

Facing Moria's attack, Rhodes did not dodge, but twisted his waist and suddenly threw out a punch.

Bang! !

The fists of the two men suddenly collided together, and a terrifying wave of air instantly erupted.

"Fly out!"

Absalom, who was standing not far from Moria, suddenly collided with his fists, and his body was instantly blown by the air waves and flew directly out.

Nia and the others on the other side were not much better, being blown up by the air waves.

"Dazzling flowers!"

Robin put his hands on his chest and stretched out each arm to grab Nia and himself.

Boom!

Gray's robot lost its balance and fell to the ground.

"Hurry up and pull me up, I can't stand up!"

The huge robot rolled twice on the ground after falling, but still failed to stand up. Gray couldn't help but ask Nia and the others for help.

"Idiot, can't you just disable the robot?"

"Yes."

Gray suddenly understood, opened his mouth again, and swallowed the whole robot bit by bit.

"I still can't adapt..."

Looking at the horrifying scene in front of her, Nia's expression was subtle.

"Recovered!"

Gray deactivated his robot state, but still retained his [Hades] armor.

"But what is this?"

Gray held a long black and purple knife in his hand. This was the weapon he accidentally swallowed when he ate himself. It should be the saber of one of the zombies that besieged him before.

"So heavy!"

"This is..."

Looking at the saber held in Gray's hand, a hint of surprise flashed across Robin's face.

Ever since he learned that Rhodes had a habit of collecting other people's weapons, Robin had consciously collected relevant information.

Although she was not sure yet, the shape and color of this knife were very similar to the description of a certain knife she had seen in ancient books before.

"Twenty-one skills of the Great Quick Sword - Black Sword Qiushui!"

"Big sharp knife?"

Nia's eyes lit up slightly, and she appeared directly beside Gray, looking curiously at the long knife in his hand.

"Isn't this the 'New Year's gift' that Rhodes wants?"

Several people looked at each other, thinking of Rhodes' hobbies, and couldn't help but nodded.

Very possible!

other side.

"It's not enough!"

Rhodes punched again and collided hard with Moriah's fist.

Centered around the place where the two of them met, the surrounding buildings and trees disappeared as if swept by a typhoon, revealing a huge open space.

"Is this all your power?"

"Damn you brat!"

Moria looked ugly.

He has tried his best and tried his best!

The shadow gathering place of six hundred shadows was already his limit-breaking performance, and even he couldn't control that power.

However, even this force that he could not control was at a disadvantage in the head-on collision with the kid in front of him!

This guy is like a monster.

Rhodes' performance reminded Moria of the past that he didn't want to recall anymore.

He recalled the scene when he fought another monster.

It was also in that battle that he lost his partner and fled back to the first half of the Grand Route in embarrassment.

"Don't underestimate me!"

Moria roared with his eyes wide open, his eyes bloodshot.

"Ba Fist!"

Rhodes swayed and hit Moriah in the abdomen with a fist.

"Ugh~~"

Under the powerful force, Rhodes' fist was deeply inserted into Moriah's stomach, almost piercing through all his internal organs. The shadow that he had barely suppressed and left in his body spilled out of his mouth uncontrollably. .

"don't want!"

Moriah stretched out his arms in a panic, covering his mouth tightly, trying to stuff the overflowing shadow back into his mouth.

"Ba Fist·Impact!"

An impact force erupted from Rhodes' fist, and the invisible impact swept through Moria's body instantly.

Different from the shock wave of [Hegemony], the [Hegemony Fist Impact] modified by Rhodes releases waves of impact like waves after attacking the enemy. Release is a move that can cause extreme internal destruction to people in an instant.

"Ugh~~"

Under the impact of the impact, Moria's body shook uncontrollably twice, and the shadow that he had forcibly suppressed in his body could no longer be controlled and spilled out from his mouth bit by bit.

"My shadow..."

Moriah looked at the shadow floating out of his mouth reluctantly.

These are the shadows of strong men he has collected little by little over the years, and they are the cornerstones for him to build his own zombie army.

Buzzing~~

After losing his shadow, Moria's aura dropped visibly, and the impact of Rhodes's weapon color made Moria look pale.

"You are too dependent on external things. Only the power you can control is the real power!"

Rhodes unclenched his fist slightly, then clenched it suddenly, and punched Moria in the stomach again.

Suffering another heavy blow, Moria could no longer suppress it. He rolled his eyes, his consciousness gradually dissipated, and the shadows absorbed into his body dispersed instantly.

After losing the suppression of Moria, the shadow fruit user, those shadows returned directly to their original owners.

"Very good!"

"Saved!"

"I can finally bask in the sunshine again!"

“···”

As those shadows returned, bursts of cheers suddenly erupted from all corners of the terrifying three-masted ship.

"Lord Moria!"

Absalom's expression changed slightly, and then he used his abilities to enter stealth mode.

No matter what, at least we must save Lord Moria!

On the other side, in the ghost castle.

"Lord Moria!"

A trace of panic flashed across Perona's face.

She was picked up and raised by Moriah since she was a child. He is like a father to her.

Just now, all the shadows in the zombies on her side were absorbed, and soon after, she saw many shadows flying back, and she could vaguely hear many cheers coming from the island.

This situation can only mean one thing, and that is that Lord Moria has been defeated.

‘Is it those guys? ’

The figures of Rhodes and his group flashed in Perona's mind.

Although I really don’t want to face those guys, if Lord Moria is really in danger...

Perona's face flashed with determination.

No matter what, she would not watch Lord Moria being killed by the enemy.

"Sindori!"

In the basement of the castle, Hogbark was busy in front of the operating table.

"Sindori?"

After calling twice in a row but receiving no response, Hogubak put down what he was doing, turned around and walked outside the operating room.

"Sindori!!"

As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Sindori lying on the ground. He immediately stepped forward in a panic and helped her up from the ground.

"what is going on!"

Sindori without her shadow is just a cold corpse. Sindori who cannot move or speak is not what Hogback wants at all.

···

"it's over?"

Nia stepped forward and kicked Moriah, who was lying on the ground unconscious.

"yes."

Rhodes nodded, feeling a little disappointed.

The opponent's strength is too weak!

He was clearly once a great pirate who could compete with Kaido, but now he has fallen to this.

The battle for maritime supremacy is so cruel.

Losers may lose not only the outcome of a battle, but also the collapse of faith and the decline of will.

The decline of will means the decline of domineering power.

It is by no means an easy task for losers to regroup and climb to the top again.

Moria is a typical example of failure.

'I never want to be like him! ’

Rhodes warned himself secretly.

He must step on the shoulders of others, step by step to the top, to achieve new hegemony, and never fall halfway like Moria.

"Is this the knife you want?"

Seeing the knife handed over by Nia, Rhodes' eyes lit up slightly.

"So smooth!"

This knife was his New Year's gift to himself.

The twenty-one skills of the sharp sword, the black sword and the autumn water!

In the previous battle with Tezoro, I only used [Hegemony] a few times in succession, but [Huazhou] could no longer bear it and was almost broken.

But with this black knife Qiu Shui is different.

The so-called black sword is a sword that has been trained by a great swordsman through continuous training of domineering day and night.

This black sword, Qiu Shui, was trained by the dragon-slaying swordsman ‘Ryoma’. It has an extremely tough blade. Even if an elephant stands on the sword, the blade will not change at all.

With Qiu Shui's tenacity, even if Rhodes used moves like [Hegemony] many times in battle, it would not exceed the blade's endurance.

What's more, how can a swordsman who can master the black sword be a weakling!

Rhodes happily took the autumn water from Nia's hand, and the thick feel made him even more satisfied.

"Legendary swordsman, dragon-slaying warrior - Ryoma!"

Rhodes stroked Qiu Shui's blade and held his hand on the handle.

The ability of [Knights will not die with bare hands] was activated instantly, and countless insights about the way of swordsmanship and the use of moves circulated in Rhodes' heart.

Just holding Qiu Shui's hilt, Rhodes seemed to have transcended time and space and saw the great swordsman from Wano Country hundreds of years ago.

The other party relied on this autumn water to kill the flying dragon, so he got the name of 'Dragon-Slaying Warrior', which has been passed down to this day.

"Your swordsmanship is very strong!"

Rhodes held Qiushui tightly and was reluctant to let go.

This weapon is considered to be the most valuable weapon he has owned since his debut.

"It's mine now!"
