Chapter 90 Moria and Ryoma's Defeat
Chapter 90 Moria and Ryoma's Defeat
The ear-piercing roar continued, and finally, at a critical point, Moria's fist was powerfully shattered by Minos' ordinary punch, and the powerful fist headed straight for Moria.
Moria saw the black fist coming towards him and hurriedly tried to use his Devil Fruit power to protect himself. But it was too late, and he was hit directly by the black fist.
Instantly, Moria was knocked to the ground, and the surrounding ground was crushed by Moria's enormous body.
The cries of agony echoed across the land, stirring the hearts of Perona and the others.
After the wailing subsided, Moria's body began to shrink, and his shadow kept running outwards.
A short while later, Moria returned to his normal form, but the injuries on his body were clearly visible.
Minos approached Moria's side, looking at the almost unconscious Moria with an extremely calm expression.
After a long silence, Minos spoke calmly: "Moria, you are indeed quite good. If you hadn't been defeated by Kaido back then, you might have a place in the New World now."
However, Minos spoke again: "Now that you have failed, I will use your Shadow-Shadow Fruit to its fullest potential."
At this point, Minos couldn't help but burst into laughter on the Ghost Island.
Moria, who was almost unconscious, suddenly mustered his strength and stared intently at Minos when he heard Minos's words again.
Minos glanced at Moria casually and said calmly, "But we still need to deal with a few little rats." A red light flashed in Minos's eyes, and his Observation Haki swept across everything.
Perona, Absalom, and Dr. Hogback hid in the ruins. However, Minos's target wasn't them, but a zombie dressed in samurai attire. He held a katana and looked quite extraordinary.
Minos said calmly, "Aren't you coming out yet? You so-called warriors."
As soon as he finished speaking, Minos watched as a zombie dressed in white warrior attire emerged from the shadows, carrying a sword.
The zombie spoke in a deep voice, "I never imagined that such a powerful figure as you would exist in this era."
Minos said calmly, "I never expected that the dragon-slaying samurai of Wano Country would turn into a zombie and appear here."
The dragon-horse zombie said in a deep voice, "You know me? But the past is just a distant memory, not worth mentioning..."
The dragon-horse zombie paused here, as if it had something to say.
Minos frowned and said, "Is there something you can't say?"
The dragon-horse zombie shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It's a pity that you are not a warrior, otherwise I would like to have a swordsmanship contest with you."
Minos did not immediately answer when he heard Longma Zombie's words, but instead pondered whether or not to grant Longma's wish.
After thinking about it, Minos, considering the things he still needed to accomplish, abandoned the idea.
Minos said calmly, "It's a pity I'm not a swordsman."
The Dragon Horse Zombie said in a deep voice, "You are already a peerless person in the world, there is no need to be greedy for more."
Minos said calmly, "Even if you praise me, I will not escape dissipation today."
The dragon-horse zombie laughed loudly, "I've already experienced death once, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Minos nodded and said coldly, "Are you going to handle this yourself, or should I take action?"
The dragon-horse zombie looked at the powerful Minos in front of him and said in a deep voice, "I want to see the strongest person of this era."
Minos understood what the dragon-horse zombie meant from those simple words.
Minos said calmly, "You make the first move! If I make the first move, you will have no chance."
The dragon-horse zombie nodded, drew his black sword, and said in a deep voice, "Sir, please be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Shui in his hand flicked lightly, and a sword aura appeared, attacking Minos.
Minos watched as the dragon-horse zombie casually swung its hand, displaying the strength of a swordsman, and could imagine the immense combat power it possessed in its lifetime.
Minos enveloped his fist in Armament Haki and punched the sword energy with all his might.
A deafening roar of collision rang out, the sword energy feeling as if it had struck extremely hard steel.
Although the dragon-horse zombie was a swordsman, the sword energy he unleashed was still shattered by Minos's punch.
Minos looked at the dragon-horse zombie and said calmly, "If you were alive, I don't know who was stronger. But now, I am stronger than you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Minos disappeared from his spot and arrived behind the Dragon Horse Zombie at an extremely fast speed, delivering a powerful punch.
As if it knew what was going on, the Dragon Horse Zombie used Autumn Water and Minos's black fist to fight back.
Minos sneered and increased his strength, knocking Ryoma to the ground with a single punch.
Immediately, dust began to rise.
Minos watched everything quietly in the dust, and soon the dragon-horse zombie emerged from the dust.
Minos then heard the dragon-horse zombie say, "This body is already beginning to crumble; otherwise, I would have wanted to fight to the very end."
Minos looked at the swaying body of the dragon-horse zombie and wondered if that punch had almost shattered it.
Under Minos's gaze, the Dragon Horse Zombie unleashed its final attack: "Nose Brother Three-Pronged Arrow Tail Strike".
Instantly, countless sword energies rushed towards him. Minos smiled slightly upon seeing this, his Armament Haki enveloping his fists, and he knocked the sword energies away one punch after another.
It was very easy, and I wasn't hurt at all.
Finally, the sword energy was depleted. Minos looked up at the dragon-horse zombie and saw that it had fallen to the ground, motionless, but was still tightly holding Qiushui in its hand.
Minos saw a shadow emerge from the dragon-horse zombie's body and seem to return to another person's body.
However, Minos didn't care. Looking at the dragon-horse zombie in front of him, he sighed, "No matter how beautiful you are, you can't escape the ravages of time, and you can't escape the pain of death."
Minos simply watched the dragon-horse zombie silently. Suddenly, Minos saw someone approach Moria to check on him.
Alright! After Minos looked closely, he realized it was Perona, the humanoid tiger, and the doctor.
Minos was speechless. It was hard to understand why they didn't want to escape but instead came to their deaths.
On Moria's side, Perona, no longer a ghost but in flesh and blood, cried out anxiously, "Lord Moria, are you alright?!"
Absalom and Dr. Hogback also watched Moria with concern.
Moria's consciousness, initially excited by Minos's stimulation, has become increasingly blurred.
Now, hearing Perona's constant shouts, they could barely make out the three of them.
Seeing Moria gradually regain consciousness, Perona and the other two exclaimed happily, "Lord Moria, you've finally woken up!"
Moria said weakly, "What are you still doing here? Get out of here! That wretched Minos won't let you get away with this."
Perona and the other two looked at Moria with firm eyes and said, "If it weren't for Lord Moria's rescue and shelter, we would have been dead long ago."
The three said in unison, "We are willing to live and die with Lord Moria."
Moria was deeply moved as he looked at the three people before him, but it seemed they were no longer able to leave. Looking bitterly at Minos behind them, Moria said, "You are truly touching, but we probably won't be able to leave."
