As Moria was defeated, all the shadows that he had absorbed quickly returo their owners.

  "Ah, my shadow!"

  "Finally! Finally, I see the light!"

  "Ah, I don't know who you are, but thank you! Thank you!"

  All the people who had lost their shadows and were uo bask uhe gentle and warm lights were filled with happiness as they cried, thanking someone who had saved them.

  Brook also slowly stood up and sighed in relief since everything was over.

  Still, once again, wasn't Masa too powerful?

  Somehow, if Masa aimed to bee a pirate king, Brook felt like Masa could bee one, he thought.

  heless, Masa never po bee a pirate king; a peaceful life was the best, after all, but then again, as he had reached this point, reag aage was hard since he had to destroy the system where everyone had gotten used, creating a new order where he could live peacefully.

  Relying on others had never been the way only he, himself, was the only ohat he could rely on, and because of that, he khat he had bee stronger and, at the same time, bee even faster since sword teique, especially when he had a Pika Pika no Mi.

  Was eleagic faster than light?

  Still, Masa looked at Moria, who he had defeated, staring at him, w what he should do with it. Moria hadn't died even after that attack, but there was no doubt that as long as he made his move, this pirate would die at his hands.

  Kage Kage no Mi.

  Frankly, Masa didn't have much of an i in this Devil Fruit, but if he said that, he was sure that many would curse him for being stupid, yet it couldn't be helped since a certain character iory had promoted and showed the potential of using the power of shadow.

  By using the power of shadows, Masa could have an unlimited number of undying and loyal soldiers that could help him fight.

  This Kage Kage no Mi was the Devil Fruit that allowed him to realize that power.

  Yet, once again, Masa didn't have much of an i in the power of Kage Kage no Mi.

  After all, in the end, if he wao bee stronger by using the power of Kage Kage no Mi, he had to rely ohers, on his soldiers, but oher hand, his power wasn't that particurly mighty sihe power of shadow wouldn't give him much of an improvement, especially in the physical ability unless he absorbed shadows as Moria did, but su improvement wasn't what he sought sihe power couldn't be maintained for a long time.

  Then, what about speed? Wasn't the speed of the shadow fast?

  Masa had eaten the Pika Pika no Mi and became a human light.

  Was the shadow even faster than light?

  At the same time, the most important point was the Pika Pika no Mi that he had eaten.

  Shadow was the byproduct of light, and he, who had bee the light itself, did he evehe power of a shadow?

  Instead of Kage Kage no Mi, Masa wanted a power that could help him destroy everything so easily, such as Gura Gura no Mi, Yami Yami no Mi, oro no Mi.

  If one of his attacks was enough to destroy everything, was there even a need for him to rely on the power of shadow soldiers?

  Yes, instead of being a king who led many to fight, Masa wao bee a god who could destroy or create anything he wished to be.

  So, while it was a shame, he decided to do an experiment on Moria by using the power of Jake Jake no Mi.

  Previously, he had said to a that instead of dev Kizaru, he would put this admiral into his body, thehe Pika Pika no Mi reinate within his body, yet in practice, he had never do as he directly devoured both Machvise and Kizaru into his body directly instead of doing such a plicated method.

  So why didn't he do so?

  Well, it was obvious; he was already at his limit, and he could tell that his body would burst as he ate the Kage Kage no Mi.

  As long as he ate this Devil Fruit, he would die and be reinated.

  This was the feeli wheried to reaoria as he tried to put his ioward dev Moria.

  Previously, Masa might have said that he did not have an i in Moria's Devil Fruit, but if he could eat more, then it would be goht?

  If there was no limit to the Devil Fruits that his body could bear, then wouldn't he bee the stro?

  Even the Kage Kage no Mi might not help him bee the stro; it could help him with a variety of things, such as esg by entering the shadow.

  Yet, somehow, whe this thought into practice, it was as if an arm sounded within his mind as if trying to tell him that he would die.

  Was this his special power?

  Besides sharing, his ability to reinate when he died as long as the other Masa existed was clear to all, yet it was his first time knowing that there ower that allowed him to remind him when he would die.

  'Hmm... it's like a danger sense?'

  No, it should be an Observation Haki, he thought.

  Probably, when Kizaru was about to die before, the feeling of not wishing to die made him so desperate, and it made his Observation of Haki develop further and allowed him to sense danger when he faced something that could kill him, which gave him a ce to run away or rethink his decision.

  'If I develop the Devil Fruit's power as I wish, then should it be possible to develop Haki as I wish to?'

  As long as it was a reasonable development, Masa felt that it ossible.

  Somehow, he felt that he was going to be busy, yet whehought he would bee even more powerful, it excited him as nothing could be happier than to know that he would bee powerful.

  Still, it disappointed him to know that his limit was just three Devil Fruits, and if he wao eat more, he could oher wait for the Masa or implement his pn to do deep resear the body of Bckbeard.

  Yet, as Masa was about to put his researto practice—

  "P-Please don't kill, Moria-sama! I-I beg you! I-I will do anything! Please!"

  In front of him, suddenly, a cute young woman with pink hair, which she tied in a childish pigtail hairstyle, begged him desperately with tears and snots.

  "..."

  Masa fell into silence as he watched one of the heroines in One Piece, Perona.

  Uhe many women he had seen in this world, he had to say, Perona's appearance was one of a kind, especially her eyes, which were round and big with a unique eyelihat gave asymmetrical eyeshes under her eyes.

  If someone saw her for the first time, they would feel weird, even if she was quite cute, especially due to her sense of fashion that made her appear different from others.

  Yet, even so, this wasn't such a bad fashion, especially when her long, slender white legs were visible from her short skirt.

  Still, pared to this style, Masa couldn't help but imagine Perona two years ter when she appeared in a gothic-style dress a her hair flow behind with many spiral braids.

  Yet, somehow, Masa had to say Perona's snot and tears ruined her appearanbsp;

  However, every heroine in One Piece had their own edic face, so he didn't feel surprised.

  Still, this was a shame, he thought.

  heless, as he stared at Perona, a, who all of a sudden appeared, said, "Masa, don't kill her. Let me hahis."

  "Huh?" Masa couldn't help but look at a strangely. "Why?"

  "I think that she is good. Anyway, let me hahis, okay? Don't you have something that you want to do? If they really try to kill me, then you kill them directly with a powerful light, right?"

  "..." Perona.

  "...okay, then." Masa wasn't sure what a po do; sidering the beginning of their retionship, he felt that he owed her, especially after she stayed, waiting for him, knowing all the dangers before them. "By the way, where is Hogback?"

  "Ah, he is over there!"

  Perona couldn't care about Hogback, the perverted doctor who was obsessed with a corpse, but Moria was different since Moria was like a father to her.

  Hearing the answer, Masa left immediately, but Perona couldn't help but look at a with a grateful expression since she khat if a didn't say anything to Masa, then she khat she would die.

  Masa was cruel, Perona thought, especially whehought of his emotionless expression when he looked at her. His eyes were as if looking at a spe, whinoyed her since shouldn't he show mercy to a cute woman like her?

  At the same time, Pero a little jealous when she looked at a. After all, she felt that she was quite better than a, yet somehow, a could get someone as handsome and powerful as Masa, which made her wonder what was so special about a.

  'Aren't I cuter?'

  Still, Perona didn't show it on her face since she khat she was under a's merbsp;

  Oher hand, a also looked at Perona in doubt for a moment, then looked at her with a gentle smile. "By the way, what's your name?"

  "P-Perona..."

  Perona wasn't sure, but she could tell that a was a bad woman!

  "Perona? What a cute name..." a nodded as she maintained her gentle smile. "By the way, do you want to die or keep your life and your important people?"

  "Of course, I want to live and keep everyone's life!"

  Perona only cared about Moria, but she khat Moria cared about the lives of his crew as well, so if possible, she thought to save the lives of Hogbad Absolom, too.

  "Then, listen to me."

  As a whispered something, Perona's cute face turned bright red, but she had no choice but to do it.

  Only from her expression, it was clear that Perona didn't hate the idea at all.

  Be prepared!
