Chapter One Hundred Eighty-Three: Moonlight Moria
"You can't come through."
Perona stood there, looking at them and saying, "Lord Moria is still asleep, and I will stop you."
"Are you one of Moria's subordinates?"
Heckler suddenly stepped forward and said, "In that case, I'll be your opponent."
With that, Heckler sprang forward, appearing in front of Perona, and threw a punch.
Whoosh.
Perona's body was pierced, yet she remained unharmed.
"Hehehe."
Perona laughed as she looked at Heckler and said, "I am the Ghost Princess who has eaten the Soul-Soul Fruit; you can't touch me."
As she spoke, several ghostly figures reached out to Heckler, and then Perona snapped her fingers.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
The sound of explosions rang out as Heckler stumbled back to Xiaqiu's side, his clothes tattered but his injuries not too severe. "I'm sorry, I couldn't hit her."
"Such a peculiar ability."
Ace raised his right hand and smiled, "I wonder if you can withstand flames."
"Firearms."
Ace held up his thumb and index finger, bringing the other three fingers together to form a shape resembling firearms, then he shook his fingers.
Bang bang bang bang.
Streams of fire shot towards Perona.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh.
These flames pierced through Perona and her spirit, landing on a distant door and igniting it.
"Not effective?"
Ace frowned slightly, feeling a bit troubled.
"A user of the Flame-Flame Fruit?"
Perona raised an eyebrow and looked at Ace, asking, "Are you Fire Fist Ace? The captain of the Second Division of Whitebeard? What brings you here?"
"I have temporarily withdrawn from the Whitebeard Pirate Crew," Ace shrugged.
"Is that so? No matter what you came here for, I will defeat you quickly and then extinguish the fire."
Perona glanced at the flames burning behind her, as several spirits rushed towards Ace and Heckler.
Faced with the howling ghosts, Heckler sprang into action, disappearing in an instant to evade their attack.
His Two-Step Shave was far faster than the spirits' movements.
Meanwhile, Ace raised his right fist and struck forward.
Boom.
As his arm swung out, it suddenly transformed into a massive fiery fist, engulfing both the souls and Perona in flames.
But it was ineffective.
The fire passed through the ghosts and Perona, directly hitting the large door behind them.
Crash.
The door shattered, and the surrounding walls crackled as they were scorched by the flames, which spread outwards, igniting the ancient castle.
"Damn it."
Perona snorted coldly as her spirits surrounded Ace, lunging towards him.
"It's still useless."
Ace felt a twinge of frustration, but looking at the spirits, he replied coldly, "Even though I can't hurt you, you can't hurt me either."
The spirits passed through Ace's body, and in the next moment, he suddenly knelt on the ground.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what right I have to live as such garbage. I deserve to die. I repent."
Ace spoke in a low voice.
"Your destruction is too great; you really deserve to die."
Perona declared as countless spirits surrounded Ace, then all exploded.
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
Ace's head was blown apart, his arms shattered, his chest ripped open, and his legs destroyed.
Yet the places that had been blown apart began to heal continuously.
Relying solely on explosions would not harm Ace, unless one used Haki, or had a burning ability with a higher temperature, or something that could affect flames, like freezing air or snowflakes.
"Is it useless? A Natural Element User is indeed Trouble."
Perona felt somewhat troubled as she looked at the building behind her engulfed in flames, her expression grim. "I have to go back."
She was a user of the Soul-Soul Fruit, but instead of transforming into a spirit herself, she remained corporeal.
However, she could separate her soul from her physical body; the physical form could not be harmed or moved, while the soul clone would not suffer physical damage.
Perona flew directly backward, and just as she was about to return, Xiaqiu flashed into existence behind her.
"Huh?"
As Perona turned around, she saw a massive figure appear behind her, and then it charged toward her.
"It's useless; you can't hit me."
Perona smiled, but in the next moment, an immense force struck her.
"That hurts."
Perona felt her spirit being torn apart as she retreated and floated upward.
“Armament Haki can touch.”
Xiaqiu nodded, choosing not to pursue further and allowing her to return.
“Fire Fist Ace, why are you here?”
At that moment, a figure appeared on the Bridge of the mansion, standing nearly seven meters tall with a devilish face.
It was Moonlight Moria.
“I’m here simply because my captain chose you.”
Ace had recovered from his previous state and looked at Moria with a smile.
“Captain?”
Moria paused slightly before asking, “Could it be that Whitebeard sent you? Why?”
“Of course not,” Ace replied. “My current captain is him.”
Ace pointed towards the distant Xiaqiu.
"Huh?"
Moria's expression froze for a moment, his face turning angry as he said, "Are you mocking me? I don't care who you are; you killed my subordinates and set my place on fire. I will kill you."
As he spoke, he jumped down from the upper floor. In mid-air, shadows appeared beneath his feet, transforming into enormous shadowy birds that gently lowered him to the ground.
"Die."
With a sweep of his right hand, the shadow birds shattered, morphing into a swarm of bats that charged toward Ace.
"Shadows?"
Ace suddenly opened his mouth wide and unleashed a torrent of flames at the bats before him, engulfing the space in front of him.
Boom.
The flames consumed the bats, which shattered and fell to the ground.
"I can handle the flames."
Ace felt relieved, but in the next moment, the shadows reformed once again, turning back into bats that lunged at him.
"This..."
Ace found himself in a difficult situation as he witnessed the scene unfold.
The shadows had detached from their physical forms and could be attacked, but once struck and fallen to the ground, they reverted back to being mere shadows, impossible to eliminate.
"Fire Fist."
Ace unleashed another punch, engulfing the shadow before him.
However, he failed to notice that some shadows were slowly gathering behind him, taking on the form of Moria.
"Shadow Swap."
The shadows transformed into the real Moria, who then reached out to press against Ace's shadow.
"Shadow Cut."
Moria grasped Ace's shadow, preparing to pull it up.
But in that instant, a massive figure charged straight at him.
"Not good."
Moria quickly swapped places with his original position from earlier.
Crack.
The shadow was shattered by Xiaqiu, exploding rather than falling to the ground.
Moria appeared in the distance, looking at Xiaqiu with a lingering fear. "What an impressive beast, capable of instant movement and able to crush my shadow."
"Absolutely perfect."
Moria smiled and said, "Your body and shadow will belong to me, but I won't be your opponent. I'll let someone else deal with you."
Boom.
Xiaqiu crashed into Moria once more, but Moria had already released another shadow and vanished into the distance.
"Did he run away?"
Xiaqiu shook its head after shattering the shadow.
"That was dangerous; I didn't expect him to be able to exchange shadows. I almost lost mine."
Ace wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Heart Point."
"His abilities are quite strange. Let's coordinate and take him down quickly," Xiaqiu said, looking into the distance.
"I understand," Ace nodded. At that moment, the wall above the mansion exploded, and a massive figure descended, landing right in front of Xiaqiu.
Whoosh.
Xiaqiu had already sensed the danger and quickly dodged to the side. Heckler, who was behind Xiaqiu, also hurriedly retreated.
The enormous figure crashed onto the ground, causing the earth to crack and fissures to spread outward.
"OZ."
Seeing the giant figure, Xiaqiu raised an eyebrow; Moria had actually sent him.
"In that case," Heckler said, looking at OZ, who was towering over him. He lifted his right arm and aimed at OZ's ankle.
But just as he was about to move, he suddenly raised his right hand.
Clang.
A long knife struck against his right Gauntlet.
"I'll be your opponent," a Zombie Ronin said, gripping the blade as he stood there.
"Fire Fist."
Ace clenched his fist, intending to unleash it towards Odin, but at that moment, he directed it backward.
The Fire Fist shattered countless shadow bats, which converged and ultimately transformed into Moria's form.
"Ace, I'm here to deal with you."
Moria grinned wickedly as the shadows lunged at Ace once more.
