After the last lesson, Moria no longer dared to wander around blindfolded.
First, he practice his observation haki in the morning, walking in the forest blindfolded, dodging trees, in the afternoon, he makes himself a hearty meal, and then practice his physical strength, trying to cover his entire palm with armament haki, but he could only cover half his palm.
At night, beside the campfire, Moria touched his round belly.
"It's so tiring."
I have never been so tired. As a standard otaku on Earth, I never worked a day in my life but now.....
I have to say, I'm really proud of myself.
This is the world of One Piece. After coming to this world, I really changed myself.
At least let a fat nerd knows how to work hard.
"I want to marry beautiful woman, become strong, and lead a rich and luxurious life..."
Moria was thinking wildly on the bed, but he soon fell asleep due to fatigue.
The next day I was bouncing around again. I have to say that the people in One Piece have really good physiques.
Moria blindfolded himself and drove his pitiful observation Haki to look for opponents in the jungle.
While walking in the jungle, I suddenly felt something approaching quickly from behind. With the help of observation Haki, he dodged the enemy's attack.
It turned out to be a tiger. The tiger rushed towards Moria and kept attacking. But Moria seemed to be able to predict its moves in advance, dodging all the attacks.
Amidst the tiger's constant attacks, Moria kept dodging and fighting back. Suddenly, Moria seized a brief moment and punched the tiger. The tiger was knocked unconscious an fell to the ground.
With Moria's Devil Fruit powers, he could have easily killed the tiger, but he only used his physical strength.
Moria continued to advance into the jungle.
…
On a rocky hill, there were constant vibrations, and as far as the eye could see, there were gravels everywhere.
Since two months ago, Moria began practicing armament Haki here.
His hand bruised when he attacked the rock with his fists, he slowly started by punching small rocks then slowly moved up to large rocks, and then he started bombarding this small rock mountain.
Moria can now cover his entire fist with armament Haki. Although it was only a shallow layer, this means at least he has fully mastered the primary level of Armament Haki.
HAA…
With a loud roar and the final punch, the rocky mountain that had been ravaged by him finally collapsed.
Regarding the development of devil fruit abilities, Moria seperated his shadow from himself at night. He body is sleep while his shadow continues to train. This is equivalent to training 24 hours a day, his shadow will return at down.
The main body's training during the day increase his strength, and the same happens with the shadow's training at night, it increased his strength .
As for why he doesn't do this during the day, it's because he is not yet strong enough to handle his body and shadow training at the same time.
When exercising at the same time, the energy consumed is more then doubled. Moria can only handle it for half an hour. Since the effort was not proportional to the income, he gave up this method.
Moria also tried to collect other shadows and then stuff them into his bod. The gathering place of shadows. This move can indeed instantly increase Moria's strength, but he must also bear the impact of many shadows messing with his conscious at the same time. Without strong willpower, he'll collapse.
Although using many shadows can temporarily improve his strength, it'll also reduce the control he has over his body.When a shadow more powerful then him, enters him, he'll immediately be effected by that shaow's strong will, and if he loses to that shadow's will,he might get taken over by it, and turn into another person.
While experimenting with the power of the Shadow Fruit, Moria discovered that his own shadow could "eat" other shadows.
Logically speaking. Shadows cannot be eliminated, because as long as a person is alive, there will be a shadow. Even if Moria cuts off the shadow, as long as the body is not exposed to the sun, the shadow will not disappear and the person can still live.
Moria stored the shadow of a bison into his own shadow. At the same time, he locked the bison in a cave to prevent it from seeing the sun,preventing it from dying.
Ten days later, the bison's shadow disappeared. No, to be precise, it was digested by Moria's shadow. And his body acquired the muscle memory of the bison and the instincts, the bison in the cave eventually died and turned into ashes.
Later, after many experiments, I, finally verified that my own shadow can digest other shadows.
But it's not without limits.
First of all, its strength must be lower than my own. At the same time, while my own shadow is digesting other shadows, during this period, I will be constantly impacted by the consciousness of their shadow. After all, this is equivalent to killing people. Would you just lay still if someone strangled you? Exactly you would put up a fight and resist with all your might
Also, he must make sure he doesn't die. When Moria's shadow digest other shadows, the pain suffered by the shadow will be fed back to him. He may go crazy, so he must control his body as his shadow digest.
Finally, the growth he get from the shadow changes with the strength of the digested shadow. The lower the strength, the higher the proportion he get, and vice versa, and at most he only get half of the original shadow's strength. Moreover, the speed of Moria's shadow digestion is also affected by his strength. Compared with Moria's own shadow, the weaker the shadow, the faster it is digested, and the more powerful the shadow, the slower it is.
There are various limitations, but even so, through this method, one can continuously become stronger, which is equivalent to making Moria a cheat character
I have to say that Devil Fruit is truly an incredible existence.
