Chapter 44: Shadow Split
"Whoosh..."
On the spacious training ground, Luke did not stop his attack.
Brook, who had just been blasted away and was about to rush forward again, suddenly felt his hair stand on end.
"What?" He blocked with his sword, and sparks sputtered everywhere.
Brook, who could barely block the fatal blow, had no time to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Whoosh..." A sharp kick swept over.
Even though his bones had been strengthened with memory alloy, there was still a burning pain that made him gasp.
The next moment, he flew out like a cannonball.
"Death Razor!"
In mid-air, dark afterimages kept passing by the training ground.
The speed Luke showed was as fast as a bolt of lightning.
After more than three months of continuous training and hard work, his strength has obviously improved to a higher level.
On the basis of the original six superhuman fighting skills, it was once again innovated; with the combination of Shave and Moonwalk, he used an extended technique, Death Razor, which allowed him to travel at a jaw-dropping speed.
Everywhere he went, all obstacles were ruthlessly torn apart and cut open.
Moreover, it is as fast as lightning, causing the target to be torn apart before it can react.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
In the blink of an eye, whether it's Dr. Hogback, Van Augur hiding in the dark, or Perona.
One after another, they were hit hard, and each one of them flew out of the training ground.
There was a flash of lightning.
Wyper's whole body recovered as before, unscathed.
But he raised his hand and resigned helplessly:
"As expected of Luke-sama... We lost, Luke-sama!"
"Damn it, I lost so miserably!"
After getting up in embarrassment, Perona, who had some bruises, was full of unwillingness.
"Oh ho ho ho, Luke is really getting more powerful!"
Looking at the somewhat embarrassed Brook, they felt inexplicable.
Because the skeleton was modified by Munch-Munch Fruit with memory alloy, it can be said to be indestructible and invulnerable, so there is no serious problem at all.
"It hurts me to death..."
Hogback bared his teeth and said, "We're no match for you at all!"
"My ability has been completely seen through by Luke!"
There was a shocking, bloody hole in his shoulder.
Van Augur, who was slightly injured after being hit by Luke's flying Finger Pistol, was full of helplessness while carrying his beloved gun.
Luke completely saw his clear-clear fruit ability.
There is no threat at all in front of the other party.
They are making continuous progress these days.
But Luje also did not stand still and made faster progress.
Without even using his devil fruit abilities, he could easily crush them all with his physical skills alone.
"If I can be threatened by you so easily, wouldn't I be a failure as a boss!"
Luke chuckled.
After speaking, he clapped his hands: "Okay, that's it for today..."
"Come with me to the ice warehouse, and let me open your eyes... After such a long delay, the legendary Devil Oars really should be resurrected!"
Luke directly announced the big news.
He's ready to resurrect the most powerful zombie, the devil, Oars!
"Eh? Devil Oars?"
"Luke-sama, are you finally ready to resurrect it?"
"Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss, the strongest zombie? That's really sounds awesome!"
Hearing this, Perona, Van Augur, Hogback, and others' eyes all couldn't help but shine with expectation.
"Luke, have you found a suitable shadow?" Brook was a little confused.
Didn't Luke say that ordinary shadows are not worthy of this strongest zombie, so they still have to wait?
"No, no need... there is a better choice!"
Luke's mouth curled up.
He walked straight towards the castle.
"Huh?"
Hearing Luke say this.
Perona and others were confused.
However, seeing that Luke had no intention of saying more, they could only follow quickly.
"Clang-"
Not long after.
In the huge ice warehouse, the heavy door opened.
The group followed Luke with confusion and expectation.
Coffins, which were arranged in order, were displayed everywhere.
But the most eye-catching one was the huge figure sitting on the side.
After Dr. Hogback's unremitting and perfect restoration, Oars' body was completely lifelike without any decay.
"Hiss~hiss~hiss, is it finally going to be resurrected?" Although it was unclear what Luke was going to do next, Dr. Hogback was still full of excitement.
"Every time I see it, I feel so shocked!" Looking up at the extremely tall and visually impactful behemoth in front of him, Wyper was full of emotion.
He remember that a few days ago, when he first saw Oars' body, he was deeply shocked.
Unexpectedly, there are such huge humanoid creatures in this world.
It's really incredible.
"I'm really looking forward to it!"
Perona, Brook, Van Augur, and others couldn't help but look at it with burning eyes.
"Shadow Split!!"
Luke walked forward slowly, and his eyes suddenly turned sharp.
Under everyone's gaze, the shadow under his feet suddenly struggled and trembled.
"Swish..." The next moment, it split apart at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned into two human-shaped shadows that were exactly the same.
"Swish! Swish!"
The next moment.
Two identical shadow clones directly stood up.
"What is this?"
Staring at this scene blankly.
Wyper, Brook, Van Augur, and others' eyes couldn't help but shrink.
"The second Shadow Clone?" Perona was full of surprise.
They all saw how powerful Luke's Shadow Clone was.
If he could control two Shadow Clones to fight, they can imagine how amazing it would be.
However, what does this have to do with creating the strongest zombie?
"Could it be... Luke-sama, you succeeded?"
Thinking of something, Hogback, who was full of shock, cried out.
He naturally knew that compared to plundering the shadows of those strong men to create a powerful zombie.
In fact, Luke has always wanted to use his own shadow to create the strongest zombie.
He has been trying, but he has not succeeded.
But he didn't expect that the other party would finally succeed, and it was so fast!
"Hiss~hiss~hiss~, worthy of Luke-sama!"
For a moment, Hogback was full of excitement.
How powerful is the zombie created with Luke's own shadow?
He has already seen it a long time ago.
"Well, I can barely split my shadow into two!"
Luke nodded.
As Van Augur and others watched intently, Luke pressed his right hand directly on the forehead of the new Shadow Clone and pressed it against Oars' huge body. "In my name, I grant you a new life, an independent personality, and make you my clone..."
A strange red light flashed in his eyes, and Luke directly activated the power of Shadow-Shadow Fruit and made a contract there: "You will offer all your loyalty, serve until death, and never betray!"
The next moment.
The Shadow Clone, who did not move at all, sank into Oars' body. "As my most loyal servant, revive with the strongest vessels!"
"Zombie King… Devil Oars!!!"
