Chapter 185: Defeat
Moria stood at a distance, waving his right hand, and countless bats soared into the air, rushing towards Ace.
Faced with these shadows, a dim yellow light enveloped Ace, colliding with the bats.
With a whoosh, the shadows ignited in flames, but as soon as they burned, they turned into ink and fell to the ground, transforming back into shadows.
However, once the flames subsided, the shadows lunged at him again, ready to attack.
"Over here?"
Ace sprinted away to evade the shadow attacks but suddenly turned around and kicked back.
"Battle Axe."
Ace's right leg transformed into a massive axe, sweeping through the area behind him where Moria's figure was slowly becoming visible.
"Ke ke ke, have I been discovered?"
Moria chuckled and immediately shifted his form, exchanging places with a shadow and appearing inside the mansion.
"He's run away again?"
Ace's expression darkened. The opponent's abilities were too troublesome; while he could interact with the shadows when they left their host, he couldn't completely eliminate them.
Moreover, the enemy could shift forms while he couldn't touch him.
Most importantly, he couldn't unleash his full power.
Not far away, the Heckler's excessive manipulation of flames could cause him harm.
The same was true for the President; even though he possessed Haki, he could not cover his entire body with it, and Haki consumed energy. With continuous use, it would deplete over time.
In other words, Ace could not unleash his full power.
Otherwise, with just a single release of Flame Emperor, he could scorch the entire island, and there would be no need to deal with Moria.
But at the moment Moria's figure appeared in the room—
Boom.
A massive silhouette crashed through the wall and collided with him.
Puff.
Moria was sent flying, crashing against the wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Boom, boom, boom.
Xiaqiu charged directly at Moria, opening its large mouth to bite at his head.
However, in that instant, Moria immediately activated his transformation ability.
Shadow Swap.
Whoosh.
Xiaqiu bit into Moria's shadow while Moria emerged from that shadowed position.
But just as he materialized, a smiling face suddenly appeared before him. "Moria, I've been waiting for you."
"Hey?"
Moria was momentarily stunned as Ace's arm shot up, delivering a powerful punch.
Boom.
Ace's fist struck Moria, engulfing him in flames.
"Ah!"
Moria let out a sharp scream, forced to move away again, but what appeared before him was a massive, gaping mouth.
Crunch.
Xiaqiu bit down on Moria, its enormous jaws piercing through his body. The Haki coating its teeth prevented him from swapping places with his shadow.
"Damn it."
Moria's expression turned to one of regret as Xiaqiu tore off half of his body, blood spilling out and innards spilling onto the ground.
"It's over."
Xiaqiu watched as Moria succumbed to death and directly exited the building.
Meanwhile, in the distance, OZ had collapsed heavily to the ground, and Ace was raising his hand, preparing to incinerate him with flames.
"Ace, stop."
Xiaqiu immediately said, "I need his corpse."
OZ, the strongest warrior of the Demon Clan five hundred years ago, possessed the power to move islands. He had died from the cold but was preserved in ice.
Although the years had passed and the energy within him was waning, there was still a significant amount left.
He stood tall, taller than an ordinary Giant Clan member, and his Evolutionary Energy was not lacking.
He possessed immense strength, which surely contained some Enhanced Energy as well.
Xiaqiu planned to consume him to see what benefits it would bring.
"Alright."
Ace retracted his arm, and Xiaqiu looked into the distance. "Ace, carry Heckler and go find someone. He is in another mansion to the left ahead and is about to leave. Get him to help Heckler."
"Understood."
Ace immediately lifted Heckler onto his back. Heckler reduced his weight to one kilogram, feeling as light as a feather.
Ace set off with Heckler right away, but Xiaqiu did not follow them.
"I have one more thing to do."
Thinking this, Xiaqiu sprinted off into the distance.
...
Moria's death caused all the imprisoned shadows to return to their original owners.
In the distance, on a dilapidated Three-Masted Ship, a skeleton stood up and looked at its arms. "Oh ho ho, my shadow has returned."
"Moria has been defeated?"
Brook gazed into the distance where the shadows of the Three-Masted Ship flickered in and out of view, softly saying, "Whoever you are, thank you."
“Anyway, my relationship with Lord Moria is merely a partnership. Now that he has lost, it shouldn't be a problem for me to leave, right?” Perona arrived at the back entrance of the island, directing her subordinates to move the treasure toward the sea vessel.
“Almost done.”
Perona glanced back at the mansion engulfed in flames, preparing to board the ship.
But just as she was about to step onto the vessel, there was a loud crash, and the sea vessel was shattered, exploding in mid-air.
“Huh?”
Perona paused for a moment, only to see a massive figure emerging from the sea, glaring at her with ferocity.
“It’s that beast.”
Fear washed over Perona as she recognized it; this creature could touch her ghostly doppelgängers.
She had just fought it moments ago, but it had struck her directly, leaving her physically injured.
Of course, she hadn’t split off any doppelgängers now; her real body was right here. If it were touched, she would die.
“But…”
Perona raised her hands, sending waves of ghosts toward Xiaqiu.
“Negative Ghosts.”
Faced with the oncoming spirits, Xiaqiu opened its mouth wide and lunged forward to bite.
Crunch, crunch.
All the ghosts were crushed by Xiaqiu.
"This, how is this possible?"
Perona looked on in shock. Her negative spirit was supposed to be invincible, capable of harming even animals, so why did it have no effect on it?
"Run."
Perona turned and dashed deeper into the island, running farther and farther away.
"Isn't anyone chasing me?"
Not hearing any footsteps behind her, Perona pushed herself to run even faster.
However, after sprinting a few dozen meters, a loud thud echoed as a massive figure appeared beside her.
"Huh?"
Perona jumped at the sudden appearance of the giant beast.
But the beast turned its head, opened its enormous mouth, and lunged at her.
The giant maw loomed over Perona, its terrifying teeth glinting ominously. The light around her seemed to be sucked away, and an overwhelming pressure bore down on her, gradually squeezing her spirit.
Ah!
Perona could no longer hold on; her eyes rolled back as she fainted on the ground.
Xiaqiu's mouth stopped and slowly closed. The combination of Conqueror's Haki and the attack had frightened Perona into unconsciousness.
This person cannot be killed.
As one of the few possessors of a bug ability in the world of One Piece, her power is truly terrifying.
Ace still needs a partner, and she fits perfectly.
Especially considering her future opponent, who also has formidable subordinates.
It remains to be seen who will come out on top.
Xiaqiu thought, lifting her first left claw and grasping it, then raising it while walking away with the other five legs.
