Chapter 168: A Smooth Road Ahead

Soon, Moria, who was far away on the terrifying three-masted ship, also received the message from Morgans.

After receiving the news, Moriah stood in front of the window and looked into the distance, feeling unable to calm down for a long time.

Has the time finally come for the redhead to become the Yonko?

Although I know most of the plots in the One Piece world, so what? Are we sure that we will follow the script exactly as it is?

In Moria's heart, it was impossible not to envy the red hair. Even at the beginning, Moria thought about hugging the red hair's thigh, but finally gave up.

Now, the whole world's eyes are focused on the new world, focusing on the red-haired body, and this final decisive battle will definitely not end so soon.

You know, so many famous pirates went to Red Hair's location not to see the birth of the new emperor.

Who doesn't have any ambition in his heart, who doesn't have any prospects, it's not a good feeling to see someone else ascending to the throne.

Compared with red hair, I am not bad at all!

Then why couldn't it be me who sat in that position?

In short, this is a feast and an unprecedented opportunity. It depends on who can have the last laugh.

While everyone's eyes are on the new world, I can now start to implement my plan.

Although Moria's Shadow Thorn organization has developed very rapidly, from a superficial point of view, it can already rank high in the first half of the entire Grand Line. However, after meeting some of the top underground forces, such as the Hausen family, Moria realized that this pirate world is far from being as simple as it seems. The water inside is deep!

Therefore, we must constantly improve our own strength and at the same time build a strong force.

At this stage, after so many days of training, constantly digesting and absorbing the insights of fighting in the new world, his strength has greatly improved, and he has entered the level of quasi-general. Moria is absolutely sure that he can face the pirates who have a bounty of 800 million beli. Take it down.

This practice not only greatly improved his strength, but also allowed Moria to see his direction.

Due to the devil's bloodline, Moria's body proportions are out of balance, which is not conducive to fighting, but similarly, every loss must be gained. Moria has the abundant physical strength and huge power possessed by the devil.

Similarly, as the embodiment of the ability of Moria's Shadow Fruit, Moria's shadow naturally has corresponding power.

After consideration and argument, Moria decided that his body would specialize in the development of Devil Fruit abilities, while his shadow would focus on physical arts.

How arrogant!

After all, a strong person must either take the path of physical arts, or develop devil fruit abilities specifically, and decide who is the master and who is the slave. As for Moria, the two paths go hand in hand. It can only be said to be a waste of energy, and in the end the gains will outweigh the losses.

It can only focus on one aspect, and the others can only be used as auxiliary. Moria still understands this truth.

As a Devil Fruit user, Moria should naturally choose to take the Devil Fruit path, and that's what he originally thought.

However, during the training, Moria discovered that his shadow's talent in physical skills was so good that Moria could not give up the path of physical skills.

Originally, with Moria's current body structure, she was not suitable for taking the path of physical arts at all, but her shadow was fine!

In the shadow mage state, Moria is equivalent to becoming two people, one is himself and the other is the shadow.

Using shadows to engage in physical combat is completely free from physical limitations. On the contrary, Moria's demon blood has become the best advantage.

When using shadows to perform physical combat, there is no need to consider the damage caused to the body by the moves.

The biggest difficulty in practicing physical skills is that there are many powerful moves, and one must have strong physical fitness to support the performance of such moves.

Without good physical fitness, if you forcibly use advanced physical skills, not only will you not be able to exert the corresponding power, but it will cause serious damage to the body. At the same time, everyone's physical condition is different, so naturally, the physical skills that can be practiced are also different.

But Moria's shadow doesn't have this problem. In fact, theoretically speaking, Moria can successfully practice all physical skills without worrying about incompatibility issues. Then, devour the shadows of various physical masters, digest and absorb the moves, and use their insights to achieve quick results.

In this way, Moria can master all types of physical skills. After all, the Shadow Mage is just Moria himself, created with the devil fruit ability. It ignores damage and the only thing consumed is physical strength.

This sounds very tempting, but Moria will not really do it.

First of all, you can bite off more than you can chew. With such a wide variety of physical techniques, not to mention digesting so many shadows, even if you devour the shadows, you won't be able to use them right away. You have to train for a while.

Furthermore, can so many types of physical skills be adapted to your own fighting style? How many of them can be really useful to you?

Finally, learning it and using it well are two concepts.

For example, now Moria has swallowed Hawkeye's shadow and gained Hawkeye's sword skills, but can Moria slash like Hawkeye in an instant?

I'm afraid that not even 10% of its power can be exerted.

After all, swallowing the opponent's shadow can only make learning related skills much easier, and it is not equivalent to copying the opponent's skills. At the same time, by the way, you can absorb the energy in the opponent's shadow and slightly strengthen your body.

Up to now, the energy obtained by Moria swallowing the shadow has little effect on the body. However, Moria still insists on swallowing the shadow, because it is better to have it than not. At the same time, in the process of swallowing the shadow, you can also exercise your will, which is an alternative training method of domineering color domineering.

Or remind yourself at all times to be prepared for danger in peace. After all, compared with the life in the new world, it is too comfortable in Paradise, so that people can gradually forget the danger.

Therefore, Moria embarked on the path of taking into account both devil fruit and physical skills.

But in general, it is still more inclined to devil fruit ability.

After all, the skill of Shadow Mage was transformed by Moria himself using the devil fruit ability. Using shadows to practice physical skills ultimately depends on Moria's own devil fruit.

However, by using this skill, Moriah got a double reward, which not only trained his fruit ability, but also improved his physical skills.

Before, due to the limitation of physical strength, Moriah had no choice but to use the Shadow Mage skill all the time, but now, due to the stimulation of the demon blood, Moriah now has sufficient physical strength and can use the Shadow Mage skill continuously for 24 hours a day.

It is precisely because of this that Moriah was able to improve his strength to the level of a quasi-admiral in such a short time.

In this regard, Moriah couldn't help but fantasize about being able to punch Garp and step on Kaido.

Of course, this is impossible, but it also proves that this direction is not wrong. As long as he continues to persist, Moriah's future can be said to be smooth.
