One Piece: Obtaining the Black Dragon King Fruit at the Start

Chapter 123 The Powerful Shadow Legion

Looking at the dragon general Beckman rushing towards him, he said seriously, "What a formidable enemy!"

After saying that, Beckman once again picked up his "Supreme Big Gun" and fired more bullets at General Flying Dragon.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yasopp and Moya were also engaged in a fierce battle.

Yasopp fired a powerful bullet at Moya, but Moya blocked it with his greatsword.

At the same time, Moya, wielding a large knife, kept approaching Yasopp.

Looking at this bizarre scene, Yasopp sighed helplessly, "This is truly disgusting!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, the members of the Red-Haired Pirates were fighting against Moria's former subordinates, but what puzzled them was that these unknown shadow soldiers were particularly strange.

The ship's doctor, Hongo, kept waving a fire poker, trying to stop the shadow soldiers' attack.

But he discovered that these shadow soldiers could actually hold off several of their officers when they joined forces.

Hongo, his temper flaring, yelled, "What are these shadows? They're disgusting!"

Look at those shadows over there. Some are playing with ghosts, some with fire, some with swords, some with scissors, and some with ice.

What's most ridiculous is that there's also a tiger-shaped shadow that can turn invisible. That's disgusting!

Lucky Roux, standing to the side, transformed into a sphere and rolled continuously, attacking the shadow soldiers.

He encountered a similar fate to Hongo, constantly being attacked by various swords, fireballs, and ice.

Moreover, and most importantly, he discovered something even more speechless.

That is, damn it, these shadow soldiers seem to be able to resurrect.

And so, Hongo and Raqi Lu stood back to back, fighting off the shadow soldiers together.

Hongo complained, "You might not believe it, but these shadows are absolutely disgusting."

Laki Lu heard Hongo complaining and said in a deep voice, "I believe you, and what I've encountered is probably even more speechless than what you've encountered."

Hongo asked in surprise, "Did you also encounter a tiger-shaped shadow that can turn invisible?"

Lucky Rue suddenly cursed, "Damn it. What I've encountered is that they can resurrect infinitely."

Upon hearing Raki Lu's words, Hongo was shocked and asked, "Is what you're saying true?"

Laki Lu said helplessly, "You'll know once you kill a shadow soldier yourself."

Not only did Benxiang and Lajilu encounter this disgusting situation, but the other remaining cadres also encountered the same evil shadow.

They were clearly stronger than these shadows, but they were either endlessly resurrected or harassed by various fireballs and ice, making their lives miserable.

The ordinary crew members of the Red-Haired Pirates were in a worse situation, as their Armament Haki was useless against the Shadow Soldiers.

Some of the shadow soldiers are even more disgusting, either launching sneak attacks or taking them down with them.

Most importantly, the shadow soldiers they had just witnessed dying alongside their comrades were resurrected before their very eyes.

This shattered their morale, and the situation quickly turned into a one-sided defeat for the ordinary members of the Red-Haired Pirates.

Even while fighting Shanks, Cheng Xiaoyu naturally paid attention to the situation on the scene.

He originally thought that his Shadow Legion would eventually be evenly matched with the New World pirate Big Guy, but now it seems that his Shadow Legion is getting stronger.

Cheng Xiaoyu dodged Shanks' sword energy and laughed loudly: "Shanks, your Red-Haired Pirates aren't good enough? Your crew was completely suppressed by my Shadow Legion!"

Upon hearing Cheng Xiaoyu's words, Shanks immediately looked up at the battlefield.

Beckman and the shadow soldier in the newspaper were locked in a fierce battle.

Meanwhile, Yasopp was locked in a fierce battle with a shadowy figure wielding a large sword.

The other cadres were attacked by a combined force of shadows, who relentlessly bombarded them with fireballs, ice, and sword techniques. Most importantly, those shadows could actually revive.

Shanks, watching the officers' fierce battle, muttered to himself with a serious expression, "This is a very bad situation!"

After saying that, Shanks looked up again and turned his gaze to the ordinary crew members.

Okay! The sky has fallen.

Can someone tell me what's going on?! You guys are supposed to be powerful pirates from the New World?!

How could I possibly be defeated by an unknown shadow!

Shanks's face was as ugly as it could be. He hadn't expected that before Minos even appeared, his Red-Haired Pirates would already be in such a predicament against Cheng Xiaoyu.

Shanks turned his gaze to Cheng Xiaoyu, whose smile remained unchanged, and said in a deep voice, "Shadow King, we all underestimated you and Minos! We never expected that you would have such a powerful army!"

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at Shanks, whose face was full of displeasure, and smiled faintly: "I've said it before, how could mortals possibly know our strength!"

Before Shanks could say anything more, Cheng Xiaoyu laughed loudly: "We will surely devour the entire world, and your so-called Four Emperors, the Navy, the Revolutionary Army, and the World Government will all become our nourishment."

"We will devour everything." Cheng Xiaoyu's words at this moment were filled with power and confidence, but more importantly, they were filled with terror!

Shanks was horrified; he hadn't expected Minos and the Shadow King to have such dark intentions.

He actually wants the whole world!

I initially thought they would only disrupt the New World, but now it seems they want the whole world.

That's terrifying, that's insane.

Thinking of this, Shanks said with a serious expression, "Shadow King, you have gone too far. I must deal with you completely first."

After saying that, Shanks held the Griffin, a red light flashed in his eyes, and his Conqueror's Haki swept across the entire area.

Red and black lightning appeared around them, and at the same time, red and black lightning also appeared on the Griffin.

At this moment, Shanks used the Overlord's Binding technique, preparing to completely defeat Cheng Xiaoyu.

Clearly, Cheng Xiaoyu's crazy words had terrified him.

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the black and red lightning that had appeared in Shanks' hand and muttered to himself, "Is he going to use Overlord's Binding? But even that can't stop me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Xiaoyu was enveloped in dark purple magic, and in an instant, he transformed into a huge dark purple monster.

He had two horns on his head, and two pairs of purple energy wings formed from magic appeared on his body. In his hand, he held a black-purple longsword crackling with lightning.

Cheng Xiaoyu used the Spirit Transformation technique, which every monarch can use. It's a special transformation formed from energy, but unfortunately, the Spirit Transformation he used at this moment was not complete; it was just a weakened version.

His energy is currently blocked by the system. He can only use true spiritual form after all his energy is unblocked. At that time, Cheng Xiaoyu's combat power may be able to briefly defeat a god-level powerhouse.

Having completed his spiritual transformation, Cheng Xiaoyu, or rather, the Shadow King, glanced at Shanks and said indifferently, "Come on, Shanks. I want your blood to remind the world of the true power of the Shadow King."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Shadow King charged at Shanks with his black and purple longsword crackling with lightning.

Shanks, who was gathering his power, looked at the Shadow King, who had suddenly transformed into a monster, with a very solemn expression.

That aura was so powerful that it made him feel extremely threatened.

Moreover, the dark purple longsword with lightning in the Shadow King's hand at this moment actually gave him the same feeling as the Overlord's Entanglement.

This puzzled Shanks greatly, but seeing the Shadow King gradually approaching him, Shanks didn't have time to think about it.

He said in a deep voice, "Divine Evasion," and instantly the black and red lightning in his hand began to dance, colliding with the Shadow King's black and purple longsword with lightning in the air.

P.S.: I've been a bit busy these past few days. (◣_◢)
