After a while, Perona finally felt a little relieved. She rolled her big eyes and asked, "Really? Lord Moria, can you really still eat two Devil Fruits?"

“Really,” Moria assured him again.

Perona, Mitsuha, and the other two breathed a sigh of relief, but they still stared nervously at Moria's body, fearing that something might suddenly happen.

No unforeseen events will occur.

At this moment, a layer of cells in Moria's body that was dormant has been revived. These cells have the scent of the artificial Azure Dragon Devil Fruit that he just ate.

This layer of cells and the layer of cells with the scent of the Shadow Fruit worked simultaneously, without any "power grab" or "incompatibility" occurring.

On the contrary, because both layers of cells were working at the same time, Moria's power seemed to have increased significantly, and his various senses had also become much stronger.

It seems that the Infinite Divine Body doesn't necessarily need to control the physical body in layers; the correct way to unleash its full potential is through complete revival.

Thinking that Moria was about to put the cells containing the artificial Devil Blue Dragon Fruit into hibernation, he suddenly realized that it wouldn't work.

The cells that were imbued with the artificial Devil Blue Dragon Fruit can no longer enter a dormant state; they can only rest by sleeping, just like a normal person.

"I didn't expect this side effect!"

Moria frowned, then quickly relaxed. If he couldn't hibernate, so be it. Moria wasn't really lacking in sleep time.

On the contrary, Moria felt that being able to sleep was a very happy thing.

Now, eating just one more Devil Fruit would allow all the cells in his body to function like those of an ordinary person.

pretty good.

"Lord Moria! I'd like to see your second ability!"

Seeing that Moria was truly safe, Perona's playful nature kicked in, and she was eager to see what Moria would do when he used his second ability.

"Row!"

Moria patted Perona's head affectionately, then had the three of them fly with him to the sky island.

Moria felt it was best not to let too many people know about his three Devil Fruit powers.

This might be a trump card, and we can't easily let the enemy know about it.

Soon, the four arrived at the sky island where Moria usually practiced.

On the lawn, the three girls looked at Moria with sparkling eyes and expectant expressions.

Moria didn't keep the three of them waiting any longer. With a thought, he activated the artificial Devil Blue Dragon Fruit power.

Suddenly, his body changed, growing rapidly in size, and black dragon scales grew on his skin.

Before long, Moria transformed into a half-dragon, half-human being with two horns on its head, a tail, and a height of twelve meters. This is the human-beast form of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, or simply the Dragon-human form.

Unlike the pink dragon that Momonosuke turned into after eating Moria in the original work, Moria's dragon was pitch black.

"So cool!!!" Perona looked on with envy. If she could, she would also like to have such a cool Devil Fruit.

"Very strong!!" Unlike Perona's focus, Ichigetsu and Mitsuha exchanged a glance, both seeing the meaning in each other's eyes.

Very strong.

The artificial Devil Fruit that Moria ate is very powerful. You can't tell anything from his aura at first because Moria is already strong enough.

However, Moria's presence at this moment was no less formidable than when he activated his Shadow Mode.

It's important to know that Moria's strength is vastly different when he activates Shadow Mode compared to when he doesn't.

The fact that this artificial Devil Fruit can give them this feeling even without activating Shadow Mode shows that it significantly enhances a person's strength.

Of course, it wasn't that big for Moria.

With a thought, Moria activated Shadow Golden Body Mode while still in his dragon-human form.

Since they are all black, there is not much change overall. The only difference is that the originally jet-black body has a strong metallic texture, making it look a bit harder.

"really."

January and Mitsuha secretly regretted that, as they had expected, Moria's aura did not increase much after activating Shadow Golden Body mode.

“That’s true.” The two women suddenly realized that at their boss’s level, having another Devil Fruit ability wouldn’t significantly increase his strength, at least not from their aura.

"But it's still good." The two women thought to themselves, having more Devil Fruit abilities means having more ways to deal with things, which is a great advantage in crucial battles.

"Not much improvement."

Moria sensed his current state and found that his strength hadn't increased much, but his defense had improved somewhat, mainly due to his enhanced recovery ability.

Now, without using life energy, Moria can activate Shadow Mode and fight for ten days to half a month without any problem.

Putting everything else aside, the boosts to stamina and recovery from Zoan-type Devil Fruits, especially Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits, are still incredibly powerful.

It transformed Moria from a drug addict into a tough, resilient man.

……

At dinner time.

Moria told January and the others about his seclusion and told them not to disturb him unless it was a matter of life and death.

Although everyone was puzzled by Moriah's decision, they had no choice but to follow it.

Perona looked sullen after finishing her meal. She always felt that every time she spent with Moria, it would be less than a month before Moria would disappear, either going into seclusion or going out.

There was nothing he could do; it was Moria's decision.

In January, they looked at each other, both seeing the burning passion in each other's eyes.

Half a month passed, and none of them had conceived.

Now Moria is going into seclusion again, and judging from his tone, he doesn't seem to be coming out anytime soon.

What are we waiting for? As soon as dinner was over, Ichigami and Mitsuha led the entire Steel Hand Pirates in a determined effort to drain Moria dry before he went into seclusion.

……

The fluid flowed all night until dawn.

As soon as Moria emerged from the soft crowd, he plunged into his cultivation world to begin his seclusion.

During his seclusion, he doesn't need to be fed; his mental energy will automatically be converted into life energy to supply his body's needs.

Two days after Moria went into seclusion, Helen took Perona and her brother Karen on a world tour.

January and Hera stayed behind on Beehive Island.

Sidoro and Ike also embarked on their own adventures on the high seas of the New World.

The news of Vinsmoke joining the Movie Emperor Pirates shocked the world for a while before gradually subsiding.

After all, this is an era where news is never short of sensationalism.

Only the Navy and the World Government are secretly on guard against the "Actor Pirates".

Chapter 351 I am Wang Ming (No need to subscribe after reading)

"Wang...Ming??"

Moria woke up in bed, opened his eyes, and, feeling the memories he read from the mind of this body, he knew who he was now.

The name "Wang Ming" is combined with the fact that the original owner's wife was named Shen Jie, a woman with a great figure and a strong mature woman's charm, who worked as a teacher at a middle school.

Combining this information, Moria seemed to see a large green patch above his head, with what appeared to be many people playing football.

"Damn it..." Moria couldn't help but curse inwardly. He had clearly chosen the person whose shadow best matched his, how could it possibly be Wang Ming?!

Who is he?

The overlord of the New World, the man who tramples Kaido underfoot—how could his shadow possibly be the most fitting match for a good-for-nothing like Wang Ming, who knows his wife is cheating on him but doesn't dare to utter a sound?

Isn't that cursing him?!

Moria cursed under his breath, but after a while, his attention was diverted to other things.

Let's ignore Shen Jie for now. Now it's Moria's turn. He couldn't control her before, but he definitely won't let her have the chance to cheat on him in the future.

His main concern right now is figuring out how to leave this world.

"This is troublesome!"

Moria's face was grim as he felt his will firmly bound to this body by a mysterious force, unable to leave.

The fact that his will cannot leave his body means that when he faces a life-threatening crisis in this world, he cannot escape death by transferring his will.

His current expression of life is will.

As long as his will exists, he is alive; his body in other worlds is merely a vessel, which he can change at any time.

"I never imagined that possessing another body and being reborn would have such terrifying limitations!"

Moria's arrival in the New World this time is different from his previous two.

When Moria first appeared in Qin's Moon, his will possessed the body of someone who had recently died and was reborn. He was not affected by the original body's soul, spirit, or obsessions; the only difference was that the body and shadow were not completely matched and integrated.

His second descent into the Demon Slayer world was the most perfect. Not only was he free from the influence of his soul and mental obsessions, but his body, having descended from the embryonic stage, was completely incompatible with his shadow, perfectly merging from the very beginning. This allowed him to unleash all of his shadow abilities, and his will could also leave at any time.

This time, Moria descended to this modern parallel Earth by directly taking over the body of a living person and being reborn.

But perhaps because of this, Wang Ming's soul, spirit, will, and consciousness all transformed into a causal obsession that enveloped his body, causing Moria's will to be firmly trapped after it descended upon this body, unable to leave at all.

Wang Ming's obsession not only trapped Moria's will, but also prevented him from fully utilizing his shadow abilities in this world.

Just like in the world of Qin's Moon, he couldn't control his shadow to merge into the shadow of others, which greatly affected his ability as a shadow slave.

Of course, none of these are problems.

This is a scientific world without mystical powers, and Moria's abilities are more than enough for him to roam freely in this world.

The biggest problem is that the will cannot be separated.

As mentioned earlier, the will cannot leave; if one dies in this world, then one is truly dead.

With the technology of this world, there's no way to kill Moria, but growing old is possible.

As long as Moria's will remains, it will dissipate and die along with this body as it ages.
