Shadow Giant

"Ah..."

"That…"

"The sea was cut open..."

"Gulu! What power is that!"

"It's just a monster..."

Looking at the sea that was cut open several kilometers long

Those zombies who were unable to resist Luke's orders to work day and night, as well as Perona and Hogback, who were training there.

Everyone was full of shock and stayed in place. 

Everyone couldn't help but open their mouths wide and couldn't close it for a long time.

"Gulu! That guy... is he really only seventeen years old?"

Perona couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

She couldn't imagine that Luke was only seventeen years old.

He is one year younger than her who just turned eighteen.

It's so strong.

It's simply unbelievable.

"Hiss, as expected of Luke-sama..."

Dr. Hogback's eyes shone with excitement: 

"In terms of devil fruit development, he has surpassed Moria-sama!"

"With the ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, coupled with the powerful physical skills, Luke-sama is fully qualified to replace Moria as the new Warlord of the Sea!"

He had already made up his mind to follow Luke.

After acquiring the ability of Repair-Repair Fruit, he was even more impressed by the opponent's generosity. 

Now, he has witnessed the other party's power with his own eyes. 

How can this not make Hogback excited?

The more powerful Luke is, the more it proves that his choice is correct and their team has a limitless future.

"Still a long way to go!"

Luke returns to his original state.

His face was calm and not very proud.

With his current strength, if he directly relied on the Shadow Revolution to enlarge himself and transform into a giant, the consumption would be extraordinary.

If he really goes all out, he can maintain the giant form for a short time to engage in high-intensity fierce battles.

More exercise is needed.

Of course, if he just uses the shadow revolution to fight normally, there is no pressure on him.

"Furthermore, Shadow Revolution is just one of the abilities of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit!"

"Shadow Clone!"

Luke's eyes narrowed.

The black shadow stood up and swelled.

It turned into a humanoid shadow consistent with his own body shape.

A pair of huge black fists were punched out in an instant.

"Boom...boom..."

The shadows of fists kept coming.

Amidst the flying smoke and dust, the materialized shadow fist continued to extend and contract, hitting the rocks ahead crazily.

And, it doesn't keep punching, sometimes like a snake.

It turns left and right to get around the block and hit targets from incredible blind spots.

It maneuvers with ease.

"Shadow Giant!"

Luke crossed his arms and shouted lowly.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment.

The Shadow Clone beside him flew out.

The figure, which was about the same size as the main body and about three meters tall, suddenly expanded again.

The extremely dark figure kept enlarging in size at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a dark shadow giant.

"Tempest Kick!" The giant right foot kicked out like lightning.

"Wuhuh——"

A loud explosion that broke through the air.

A huge crescent-shaped slash appeared out of thin air.

"Phew—" Then it hit the sea in the distance in an instant.

"Boom..."

"Crash..."

A huge trench appeared.

It was indescribably shocking.

"Coupled with the ability of the six superhuman fighting skills, the combat power exerted by the shadow clone is indeed extremely powerful..."

Luke touched his chin and evaluated: 

"Furthermore, the Shadow Clone has advantages that the original body does not have."

It is not afraid of any physical attacks and can ignore damage.

Even because it is a shadow, it can change its form at will.

It can launch a surprise attack at a difficult angle and make things hard for the opponent.

It's extremely hard to defend!

Although the shadow clone can currently only be enlarged to the form of a giant, it is not yet possible to enlarge the shadow to be as exaggerated as a real island.

But he believes that as he further develops his devil fruit abilities, he will definitely be able to make the Shadow Clone even bigger and demonstrate stronger combat effectiveness.

"thump!"

"thump!"

Finally, the two completed the training tasks Luke had set.

Early in the morning, they were forced to run twenty laps around the giant ship.

The two figures, one big and one small, dripping with sweat, were so tired that they collapsed on the ground while panting and were unwilling to stand up.

"Phew, I'm so exhausted, I finally finished running!"

Perona was sweating profusely and panting.

She had tears in her eyes whenever she remembered the days when Moria was here; she missed it so much.

At least Moria won't force them to exercise like this every day.

"Twenty laps... almost killed me!" Dr. Hogback fell to the ground while weakly shouting: "Water, I want to drink water!!"

"Please wait a moment..."

A ferocious-looking zombie who was on standby hurriedly brought the water glasses to the two of them.

Except for his skin being a little dark and dry, the zombie is just like a normal human being.

After being repaired and transformed by Repair-Repair Fruit, although they are still weak against seawater and salt, they are not afraid of it entering their bodies through the gaps.

As long as they are not disemboweled or soaked directly in those two, they will do fine against it.

Because although they can still open their mouths to speak, the lower part of their throats are completely blocked.

"You two, you have to work hard..." Luke wiped his sweat and said calmly: "I have already taught you all the six superhuman fighting skills training methods!"

"Don't let me down!"

"Yes, Luke-sama!"

Both Perona and Hogback couldn't help but look solemn.

Although there was a lot of pressure; however, it made the two of them more excited.

If it can be mastered.

Not to mention being able to become as powerful as the person in front of them.

But at least they can protect themselves.

"I don't know when I will be able to fully master all six superhuman fighting skills!"

Perona felt a little yearning for it.

"Don't be impatient..."

Luke touched her head and said with a smile: 

"As long as you can honestly follow the plan I have set for you and train unremittingly. When your physical fitness improves, I will have a way to speed up your practice!"

"For real?"

Perona's eyes lit up, then she looked longingly at Luke.

As a doctor, Dr. Hogback was also a little surprised: "Did you use some kind of medicine?"

"of course not…"

Luke chuckled and said: "But through the power of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit!"

"But if you, a doctor, are interested, you can develop in this area in your spare time and study genetic medicines and so on!"

Speaking of which.

He proposed to Dr. Hogback.

"What do you mean?" Perona was confused.

"Although the plundered shadow, after being implanted into other people's bodies, can only enhance people's strength for a short period of time, and it cannot last for long..."

Luke didn't care about it and said bluntly: "But on the other hand, it can also allow oneself to possess the other party's long-term training in disguise in a short period of time, and the combat instinct and corresponding experience have long been integrated into the physical memory!"

"So, you just need to keep training hard and understand it in those short two or three minutes, and maybe you can gain something!"

This was a major discovery he made after repeated verification.

The ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit is indeed quite buggy. 

It can be said to be a training accelerator, and it is also a shared version.

Moreover, unlike ordinary people who fuse shadows, they can only gain a short-term increase in combat power but, in disguise, have the combat instinct that the target has developed over a long period of time.

As the Shadow-Shadow Fruit user, he can even obtain deeper memories of the target's life through the plundered shadow.

"So that's it!!"

Perona and Hogback suddenly realized.

If the plundered shadow is put into the body of a living person, it can enhance the opponent's combat effectiveness.

Of course, they know this very well.

Moria relied on this ability to crush Luke and imprison him in the dungeon.

But they really didn't expect that other people's shadows could have such effects.

They immediately couldn't help but feel overjoyed and a little excited.

"Don't be too happy too early..."

Luke warned there: "Although I can help you find a master of the six superhuman fighting skills, plunder his shadow, and speed up your understanding of the skills..."

"But your physical fitness must be able to keep up!"

"So, you still need to train!"

"Yes, Luke-sama—"

"We will work hard!"
