These days, if you don't have so thod to change your body size, you can't make it in this world, right?
Luffy is like this, and you are also like this!
Granted, Luffy being rubber makes sense, but your Shadow-Shadow Fruit...
Kyle was startled for a mont, as if thinking of sothing. His gaze shifted slightly downward, looking at the shadow at Moria's feet, which was much slimr compared to before.
He suddenly spoke up and asked, "You achieve this effect by changing the shape of the shadow to influence the main body?"
"Huh?!"
A trace of surprise appeared on Moria's face. He nodded faintly.
"I didn't expect you to figure that out! Quite sharp, kid!"
Kyle didn't reply.
He hadn't figured out anything by looking. He guessed it!
In the original story, Moria rged his own shadow into Oars's shadow, achieving physical changes by altering the shadow's shape, giving Oars a rubber-like stretching ability.
He made this guess based on that situation.
"Co on!"
"Let see how much your strength has changed after becoming skinny!"
As the words fell, Kyle's figure once again turned into purple lightning and flashed, instantly appearing in front of Moria as before.
His fist was still simultaneously wrapped in Armant Haki and Violet Heaven Thunder, and he threw a punch straight out.
But this ti, Moria's reaction speed was many tis faster than before. He also quickly threw a punch in response.
Boom.
At the mont their fists collided, an incredibly powerful shockwave exploded violently.
Centered on the two of them, the ground around them cracked inch by inch.
Feeling the powerful force transmitted from Moria's fist, Kyle felt not a trace of panic, but was instead extrely excited.
That's right, this is what makes it interesting.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of his trip here?
The veins on Kyle's arm bulged violently, and powerful force burst forth from his fist.
The stalemate was instantly broken. He blasted Moria's fist away and slamd his own fist directly towards Moria's chest.
Moria's expression changed slightly, seemingly surprised by Kyle's formidable strength.
But he wasn't flustered. With a thought, a pool of shadow appeared in front of his chest.
Kyle's fist hit the shadow without any obstruction. Upon contact, the shadow was instantly torn apart and scattered by the violent purple lightning.
And the montum of this punch was barely affected at all.
Only at this mont did a trace of horror finally appear on Moria's face.
I'm done for.
Thud.
A dull sound mixed with the roar of thunder rang out. Moria's body instantly flew backward. Purple lightning invaded his body, completely enveloping him.
His body crashed into the castle once more, smashing through countless walls, coming out the other side of the castle, and flying a considerable distance before crashing onto the ground.
Black smoke once again rose from his entire body, but it could no longer make him any blacker, because Moria's skin color was now almost pure black.
In this dim environnt, he could simply hide anywhere, possessing a perfect invisibility ability without a doubt.
Moria's body twitched from ti to ti. After a while, he suddenly coughed a few tis, used his hands to prop himself up, and slowly sat up.
"A miscalculation."
Moria spoke in a low voice, his expression gloomy.
Although he had regained his fighting style from over a decade ago, he had forgotten one thing.
Over a decade ago, when he fought against various powerful opponents and encountered a situation like the one just now, he would always gather his shadow in front of himself to block the opponent's attack.
And the effect was very good. It could block most attacks, and for the small portion it couldn't completely block, it could still reduce their power. In the end, not much force would actually land on him.
But he forgot that not long ago, when Kyle's lightning net touched his shadow, it instantly tore his shadow apart.
In other words, his shadow abilities were completely useless against Kyle's lightning.
It was like tofu dregs, shattering with the slightest touch.
This was not good news for him at all.
Moria's expression changed repeatedly, finally turning into a fierce glare. He stood up, leaped into the air, and rushed towards the location of the castle.
Not long after, Moria appeared before Kyle, holding a large sword.
Since his Devil Fruit abilities were useless, he also knew a bit of swordsmanship and Haki.
Besides, Devil Fruit abilities are ultimately just external tools.
That man who had soundly defeated him once said, "Only Haki can surpass everything."
Moria took a step forward, moving with extrely fast steps as he charged towards Kyle.
Watching Moria speeding towards him, Kyle opened his hand, and Purple Lightning instantly appeared in his palm.
These days, who isn't a swordsman?
Clang.
The sound of tal clashing rang out.
Their blades t for an instant before separating, then imdiately swung towards each other again.
Clang, clang, clang.
One sound after another rang out. With each collision, a shower of sparks would fly.
The more they fought, the more shocked Moria beca, shouting wildly in his heart, 'Just what the hell is this kid? How is his swordsmanship also so strong?!'
Although he wasn't a top-tier great swordsman, he had reached the level of a swordsman.
But now, in this swordsmanship contest, he was being completely suppressed by Kyle.
Every swing of his blade was easily blocked by Kyle. In contrast, he was having an extrely difficult ti blocking the blades Kyle sent his way. He already had several new cuts on his body.
Although the wounds weren't very deep, Moria knew that if this continued, he would surely lose.
Therefore, after blocking Kyle's blade once more, Moria used the force transmitted from Kyle's blade to retreat so distance.
His eyes fixed on Kyle across from him, Moria knew he couldn't just sit and wait for death. He had to think of a way.
If he were at his peak, he might still try to fight it out with Kyle, but earlier he had enjoyed several of Kyle's lightning baths.
His current condition could be said to be very poor.
It was just that regaining his forr self from over a decade ago had caused his adrenaline to surge, allowing a short burst of strength and temporarily ignoring the effects of these negative conditions.
But ignoring them didn't an they didn't exist. In fact, he really didn't have much combat power left now.
Kyle's strength was very high, which had beco quite clear during the earlier exchange. But the other party didn't seem to have the intention to use his full power to imdiately defeat him.
Otherwise, being honest with himself, he wouldn't be able to stand here right now.
If that's the case... could he take advantage of this point?
Moria's gaze swept around the area, and an idea ford in his mind.
With a flash of his blade, the surrounding trees were all cut in half at the waist.
Then Moria's figure darted between the trees, his hand constantly swinging his sword. But it wasn't to slash, it was to swat.
One tree after another was swatted out, flying towards Kyle at high speed.
"Huh?"
Kyle narrowed his eyes slightly.
What is this skinny-fat immortal trying to do?
Unable to discern Moria's intention, Kyle didn't remain inactive.
He swung his sword, sending out a slash wave that shot forth, smashing all the incoming trees to pieces. But imdiately afterward ca a sky full of shadow bats...
