Grand Line’s Lord Of Shadows

"Shadow Clone!"

On the somewhat messy coast, a black figure kept moving at an astonishing speed.

"Whoash..."

"Flying bat!"

The next moment.

That dark figure suddenly turns into a lot of bats.

They flapped their wings together and flew into the air.

It flies more than ten meters away and combines into human form.

"Shadow Warrior!"

On the rocks not far away, Luke, who was thirty meters away from the shadow clone, instantly switched places with the shadow clone.

As if teleporting, the shadow clone appeared directly in his previous location.

"Moonwalk!"

White smoke bursts.

Then he stepped into the air accompanied by bursts of repeated explosions.

"Devil Wings!"

In the blink of an eye, a large number of shadow bats flew towards him.

Then they continued to gather and turned into huge black wings on his back.

The demonic black wings flapped slightly there.

"Woo hoo hoo..."

Accompanied by fierce wind pressure.

Luke no longer stepped into the air but directly floated into the sky.

The black wings were as if they were born with him, and he could control them easily.

Making him fly freely in the sky.

"Whoash..." 

Then, he flew around the entire Thriller Bark with an astonishing speed that was too fast to see clearly.

"It's Luke-sama!!"

"It's really amazing!"

"It's so fast, I can't see him clearly at all..."

Giant Ship.

The appearance of each one is no different from that of a real living person, and the zombies who are busy working there raise their heads.

Looking at the flying figure in the sky, they were filled with wonder.

But no one is surprised.

Because this is not the first time they have seen it.

This person has been training like this.

"Huh...huh… I'm so exhausted!"

"I can't do it anymore!"

on the coastline, two figures, one large and one small, were sweating profusely while running desperately.

Their sweat dropped like rain as they panted from exhaustion.

Astonishingly, they were Dr. Hogback and Perona.

They were already sweating profusely, but they didn't dare to stop.

"You two, don't be lazy..."

High in the air.

Luke looked down at them and said with a sneer: "Otherwise, I will demote you to the lowest level of zombie soldiers. Just like those zombies, you will work non-stop day and night, responsible for transforming this giant ship!"

"No! I don't want to work like that every day, wuwu..."

Perona's face turned pale.

Gritting her teeth, she continued running.

"Huh... huh..." Dr. Hogback staggeringly followed Perona.

After two months of training, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Dr. Hogback, who was only slightly chubby, almost cried with tears: "Why do I, a ship's doctor, have to follow the training?"

"Stop talking nonsense..." Luke said coldly: "A ship's doctor who can't even protect himself. Do you want to be the first one to be targeted by the enemy in the battle and be killed easily?"

"Weak people are not qualified to survive on my ship!"

"If you don't want to be a cadre, I can let your shadow take your place!"

Luke's callous voice made Perona and Hogback go numb.

They can only bite the bullet, continue training there, and run as hard as they can.

Compared to the weak chicken two months ago.

Although the strength of the two people cannot be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

However, their physical fitness seems to have increased significantly, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

They were pulled up by Luke early in the morning and started a morning exercise that lasted for two or three hours.

They ran at full strength around the Thriller Bark lap after lap until they fell down.

"Snort…"

Luke said no more.

He flew over their heads and returned to the coast where he originally trained.

Unknowingly.

Two months have passed since he killed Moria and became the new boss of this place.

And as he mastered the ability of Shadow-Shadow Fruit, he became more skilled.

One after another, the zombies that lost their shadows and became corpses were resurrected by Luker.

But it is different from the original terrifying, ugly, and completely underworld-style zombie army.

Luke directly eliminated the defective products that were rotten, missing arms and legs, and even physically weak.

Only those corpses that were restored to their original appearance by Dr. Hogback and were strong are left. 

Although they were full of death and had no breath of life, their appearance was the same as that of living people.

Resurrected by the implanted shadow.

Let them start working day and night.

Because Luke plans to transform this giant ship completely into a mobile war fortress.

As for the source of shadows, the shadows naturally come from the pirates and businessmen who were directly imprisoned by him.

But, for Dr. Hogback and Perona.

Life is not perfect at all.

Because these days, Luke forces them to train every day.

A strict practice plan was specially formulated, stipulating that the two of them should go from morning until night…

They do high-intensity training every day.

At the end of the day, the training time is more than eight hours.

It makes them so tired that they want to lie flat on their backs.

But facing Luke's inhumane punishment, they didn't dare to be lazy.

Of course, Luke did not expect the two of them to become extremely powerful cadres.

However, as the only cadre on board the Thriller Bark, since they can't be comparable to emperors, at least disaster level should do.

At least the core cadres must be at that level, right?

Compared to Dr. Hogback, who has little potential left.

For Perona, Luke was a little more demanding.

At only eighteen years old, she is not bad and has greater potential.

She was spoiled rotten when she was raised as a daughter by Moria.

She's too lazy and can't last doing any hard work.

"Shadow Revolution!"

All of a sudden.

The wings behind Luke's back disappeared.

It returns to Luke's shadow.

"Armament Haki: Retractable machine gun!"

Luke's eyes were stern.

Staring straight ahead at the huge and extremely solid reef eight or nine meters away, which is more than ten meters high.

The fists wrapped by Armament Haki turned dark.

And kept waving in the air.

"Shuisha..."

A jaw-dropping scene happened.

The shadows of his arms stretched at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And his arms were like rubber, extending out like lightning.

"Huh...huh..."

It turned into countless afterimages all over the sky.

It carries a powerful force and continuously bombarded the rocks ahead.

"Boom...boom..."

Smoke and dust filled the air.

Debris flew.

A huge rock as big as a hill.

Like a block of tofu, it was easily blown apart.

It makes people stunned.

"Pah, pah..."

Luke jumped high into the air.

Stepping through the air at an astonishing speed, he rushed out.

After crossing the inland sea of the giant ship, he came to a dilapidated and large ghost ship that was just floating nearby and was hundreds of meters long.

"Giant's Battle Axe!"

The shadow of his right foot instantly stretched.

Then, it continues to expand, just like the shadow of a giant's feet.

"Brush..." The next moment, something incredible happened.

Luke's right leg, which was raised high, also stretched and expanded.

The soles of his feet, which were originally the same as those of normal humans, miraculously transformed into the size of giants.

Wrapped around pitch-black by Armament Haki, the jet-black and shiny foot slammed toward the abandoned ghost ship below.

"Boom..."
