Chapter 21: The Combined Shadow
"Yo ho ho ho~, she got them all in one go... Hollow-Hollow Fruit really has such a terrifying ability!"
Not long after, the giant ship came slowly.
The huge mouth swallowed the large pirate ship.
Luke, Hogback, Brook, and others came to the pirate ship.
A group of pirates with fierce appearances was lying there in a state of confusion, looking extremely depressed.
They completely lose the ability to resist.
"If there is an afterlife, I would rather be a flea!"
Even the captain, who has a strong aura, is no exception.
"Damn it… who are you?"
One-eyed Hacks was so weak that he knelt there and raised his head tremblingly.
"Hehe~hehe~hehe~, open your eyes wide and watch; this is the vice-captain of our Netherworld Pirate, Lord... Yasuo!"
Perona put her hands on her hips.
She raised her chin and introduced Luke proudly.
After getting along with Luke these days, she has already been completely impressed by his strength and appearance…
The key is that although Luke is sometimes domineering, the other party has never treated her badly.
It's just that sometimes he is too bad and always likes to bully herself.
"Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss~, Sir Luke, I have found their identity clearly... They are the One-Eyed Pirates!" Dr. Hogback, who was wearing a white coat, was flipping through the Bounty list: "This guy is One-eyed Hacks, who has a bounty of 98 million Belly!"
"The bounties of his several cadres also range from 5 million to 30 million!"
He was filled with excitement.
There are at least hundreds of pirates; many zombies should be resurrected.
"Oh?" Luke raised his eyebrow and nodded slightly: "Although the bounty does not exceed 100 million, it is still barely usable, just right!"
The next moment, he looked sharp, and a flash of red light flashed into his eyes.
The ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit was activated.
"Shadow Assembly Area!"
"What!?"
"My shadow…"
For a moment, under the horrified gazes of the few remaining conscious pirates such as One Eye Hacks.
"Brush, brush..." Human-shaped black shadows extended from the pirates' bodies and gathered on Luke's hands.
There are hundreds of them.
These shadows tried to struggle but were held tightly by Luke and were unable to resist.
"Crack!"
The two intertwined shadow knives turned into large scissors and cut these shadows off.
"Thump, thump..."
Several pirates fainted immediately after being hit hard.
They collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.
"Lock them all up!" Luke directly orders the zombie.
The target whose shadow has just been taken away will not immediately turn into ashes due to the sun's irradiation.
But after a quarter of an hour, the ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit will truly take effect.
It's like an irresistible curse.
Once a person who has lost his shadow is struck by the sun, he will be burned or even directly turned into ashes and disappear from this world.
This is why, in the original trajectory, during the Summit War, Moria used the ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit to plunder the shadows of the pirates and Marines who were fighting.
Those people just fainted and didn't directly disappear.
These days, a large number of cells have been built underground on the Thriller Bark.
It was specially used to hold the prisoners whose shadows he had taken away.
This is also just in case a large group of pirates will be in prison in the future.
"Yes!"
Many zombies boarded the ship and began to send unconscious prisoners to the underground prison on the giant ship.
At the same time, under Perona's command, the treasures and supplies on the ship began to be transported.
These are their trophies.
Of course, it is impossible to let it go.
"Luke-sama, are you going to create zombies directly next?" Looking at the hundreds of shadows on Luke's hand, Hogback asked expectantly.
"Not in a hurry…"
Luke waved his hand.
He directly activated the new ability he developed and began to operate: "Shadow Tailoring!"
"This is…"
"It's sewn up!"
"Whoosh, Whoosh..."
In the unbelievable eyes of Perona, Brook, and Hogback, thin black lines flew out from Luke's hands one after another.
It actually penetrated these shadows one after another, connecting them all.
It's like cutting and piecing together a rag doll.
All of a sudden, Luke cut one shadow after another and forcibly pieced them together.
Finally, it spliced into a large shadow.
No, it is no longer an ordinary shadow; it has become completely like Luke's Shadow Clone.
It became round and like a black humanoid doll.
It kept struggling there, but Luke held it tightly.
"Hiss--"
Hogback gasped.
Immediately, his eyes burn with fire of excitement: "With so many shadows put together, wouldn't it be..."
"It's unbelievable..." Brook's jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"Is this your new ability, Luke-sama?" Perona's eyes flashed with light, full of admiration:
"It's really amazing!"
One can imagine so many shadows combined into one.
How powerful is it once it is implanted into the corpses of those strong men who have been perfectly repaired by Hogback using the Repair-Repair Fruit ability?
"Even if shadows don't have much of a rejection reaction to corpses, forcibly cutting and splicing so many shadows will undoubtedly require higher requirements for the carrier..."
Gazing at the shadow puppet that was stitched together by a large number of shadows, which seemed to be many times larger than before and expanded like a rag doll, Luke shrugged:
"As a target of a shadow carrier, the body must be strong enough to accommodate and carry such shadow!"
"Hiss~hiss~hiss, I don't think you need to worry about this..."
Hogback was very excited and said with a strange smile: "After strict screening, the corpse of a zombie general should be more than enough to handle this level of shadows!"
He is very confident in his skills.
