Perona, like Absalom, was a close confidant of Moria. Though Moria was a bit timid and weak, he was quite kind to his crew, making him a decent captain.
"Go on, I'll let you leave."
Ryujiro said.
Perona thought she must have misheard, looking at Ryujiro incredulously.
He's really letting her go just like that?
Is he serious?
Even Moria couldn't understand what Ryujiro was trying to do.
He was being very cautious.
Moria, even though arrogant, was aware of his own position. Ryujiro noticed Moria's gaze but didn't pay much attention to it.
If Moria really had the ability to cut his shadow...
"White Demon, you've invaded my territory. What exactly do you want?"
"Did you kill Absalom?"
Moria's face was extremely grim. Absalom was one of his important subordinates and one of the few Devil Fruit users he had.
"Is that so?"
"That guy offended my wife."
"My wife didn't like him, so she killed him."
Ryujiro grinned with a harmless smile.
Moria's anger was already on the verge of exploding. Seeing Ryujiro's nonchalant, almost mocking smile, Moria couldn't contain his fury any longer.
"You bastard! Become my puppet!"
Kage Kakumei!
Moria suddenly switched places with his own shadow, grabbing Ryujiro's shadow with his bare hands.
"Kis his his his!"
"I've won!"
Moria, holding Ryujiro's shadow, laughed triumphantly.
With this shadow, he could create the most powerful zombie puppet in the world. Then, he could take revenge on that bastard Kaido!
"Oh no! This is bad!"
Brook, holding his face as if his soul was about to escape, was deeply distressed.
However, Ryujiro's expression remained calm, showing no sign of change. Instead, he looked at his shadow with interest.
"So this is my shadow?"
"What a peculiar ability."
Seeing Ryujiro's playful smile, Moria's smug expression darkened again.
"White Demon, I will use your shadow to create the strongest zombie in the world!"
"You will regret your ignorance."
"Kis his his his!"
Moria produced a large pair of scissors in his hand. He looked at Ryujiro with arrogance, preparing to cut off Ryujiro's shadow.
Suddenly, Moria felt that what he was cutting wasn't a shadow but something as hard as Sea Stone.
Moria's face changed instantly as he couldn't cut the shadow like he usually did.
"How can this happen!"
"Why can't I cut it!"
Perona was also stunned. Moria actually couldn't cut that man's shadow!
At this moment, Ryujiro put away his playful smile: "Laughing like an idiot, and you think you can cut my shadow?"
"If someone like you were to cut my shadow, I might as well jump into the sea and drown."
"Our difference is not even on the same dimension."
Moria's eyes shrank suddenly, his expression twisting.
"Impossible!"
"Cut it!"
No matter how hard Moria tried, he couldn't cut Ryujiro's shadow, as if Ryujiro's shadow was harder than Sea Stone.
"Then experience the difference in dimensions."
Ryujiro's black eyes transformed into eyes resembling the vast cosmos.
Even Perona was stunned by Ryujiro's beautiful eyes.
So beautiful.
"Domain Expansion."
Boom—
A vast amount of cursed energy erupted from Ryujiro, and Moria's expression changed instantly.
Everything in front of him rapidly changed, as if he had entered another dimension. A flood of ineffective information continuously poured into his mind.
"Unlimited Void."
Immersed in the starry cosmos-like world, Gecko Moria was inundated with a massive amount of irrelevant information and couldn't move.
Where is this place?
What is this feeling?
A lot of information is flooding into my mind. Whose memories are these?
Whose information is this?
Is this a Devil Fruit ability?
Why can't I move?
"Don't waste your efforts."
"I've said that the gap between us is a dimensional one."
"This is my domain, and you can't do anything."
"In this domain, you're just a fish on the chopping board."
"Like now."
Ryujiro's blade was inserted into Moria's thigh. Despite feeling the pain, Moria's face showed no change.
Blood flowed continuously from Moria's wound.
Outside, people only saw a huge black sphere floating in the air. What was happening inside was unknown.
"What's happening inside?"
Brook looked curiously at the floating black sphere, wondering if this ability was a Devil Fruit power.
But it didn't seem quite like one.
Is it a new technique from Ryujiro?
Hinata smiled. No matter what, Ryujiro always brought surprises.
This world is full of wonders, especially with Devil Fruits that grant extraordinary powers with just a bite.
In the ninja world, there was nothing to quickly bridge the gap in strength like this.
"Bang—"
In an instant, the domain was lifted. The massive shadow fell from the sky, and Moria crashed to the ground, raising endless dust and shaking the entire ground.
"Moria-sama!"
Perona, terrified, ran over, seeing Moria's injuries and his face growing pale.
What happened inside?
Gecko Moria's body temperature was gradually dropping. Ryujiro looked at the basket of fruit beside him with anticipation.
However, disappointingly, the basket of fruit showed no change.
Damn it!
Ryujiro cursed inwardly.
It really is a matter of probability. Has my luck run out after getting the Rumble Fruit?
Did Gecko Moria end up being intangible?
He came here mainly for Ryuma's soul, but now he returned empty-handed. Moreover, this ship could serve as a base for his new group.
But the guy's spirit and strength...
To be honest, Ryujiro was somewhat disappointed.
Besides the Shadow-Shadow Fruit's ability, this guy had nothing outstanding.
After thinking for a while, Ryujiro decisively eliminated Gecko Moria. He needed the strongest Hollows, not a mediocre one.
At this moment, Ryujiro suddenly sensed movement in the void space and immediately shifted his consciousness into it.
"Finally evolved!"
Shiki the Golden Lion successfully evolved into a Vasto Lorde level Arrancar.
Hmm?
Ryujiro noticed something was off with Shiki.
Shiki's gaze was somewhat confused. He looked at the barren land and the Hollows filled world, his voice hoarse.
"Where... is this?"
"Who am I?"
"I am…"
"I am…"
"I am Shiki the Golden Lion!"
Boom—
In the next moment, Shiki's spiritual pressure changed violently, rapidly condensing into a spiritual pressure beam that enveloped Shiki.
This scene was something Ryujiro had never anticipated.
Shiki!
He was breaking his mask himself!
