Did Vidal Die in Battle?

What are you laughing at?!

For some reason, Moria felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Vidal's expression, which made him roar fiercely and swing his shadow blade out.

[Boom--]

A terrifying storm immediately transformed into a surging and sharp black slash that shot out.

Despite being black, it was extremely conspicuous in the night, especially as it drew closer to the giant wooden figure that glowed green, a dark green hue reflected on its blade.

That wasn't all. Moria seemed to be getting impatient. One slash wasn't enough, so he swung two more in quick succession. With the speed of a swordsman, the three Shadow Demon Slashes were only four or five meters apart, slashing towards 'Osiris' along a line!

[Moo--]

Apis Divine Bull raised its head and bellowed, once again gathering a golden ball of light before exhaling it.

The beam of light did slow down the advance of the first Shadow Demon Slash, but when the second Shadow Demon Slash came close and merged with the first one, the Double Shadow Demon Slash, with its power greatly increased, effortlessly sliced the beam of light apart!

"Did he unleash his ultimate move?" Vidal's eyes narrowed slightly.

[Buzz--]

The next moment, the green armor on his body shone with the most extreme green light. Its brilliance not only turned Grove 53 into a green daytime, but also allowed several nearby districts to faintly see a green light like the sunset on the horizon.

"The Giant Horn!!"

As Vidal roared, all the green light instantly turned into golden light, condensing in the air like a constellation to form a golden bull!

It became the new 'sun' of Grove 53, dispelling the darkness and radiating light and warmth.

[Moo--]

With a long, thunderous roar, the bull's aura soared to the heavens, and its entire body leaped into a massive pillar of light, directly confronting the double Shadow Demon Slash.

[Boom!!]

How can one describe this strongest collision to date? One can only say that the ground in Grove 53 not only trembled violently, but the entire surface cracked with deep scars, revealing the freshest wood color beneath.

The roots of the Yarukiman Mangroves in this area have been severely damaged!

But Vidal and Moria couldn't care less about that now. With the final Shadow Demon Slash merging in, the triple black slash finally reached its peak!

"Hah... hah... hah." Moria, who had unleashed such a terrifying slash, was also exhausted. These three consecutive attacks could be said to have gathered all his current strength.

The Shadow-Shadow Fruit, swordsmanship at the level of a master swordsman, Armament Haki, the strength of hundreds of people including the Giant Tribe Yifuli, plus the power of an unwavering will.

Honestly, he wouldn't be able to use that move again anytime soon; Moria was now focused on defeating Vidal in one fell swoop!

As it turned out, the Triple Shadow Demon Slash incredibly powerful. It did not disappoint its master; it actually sliced through the scorching pillar of light and drew ever closer to 'Osiris'.

This made Moria reveal a cruel smile. Even if Vidal had the ability to transform into wood element, he would still die when facing the Shadow Demon Slash, which possessed the power of Haki!

Vidal naturally realized that he had lost the battle with his ultimate move, so his brain started working at high speed.

But it all seemed a little too late. The speed of the Triple Shadow Demon Slash was so fast that, at least in the eyes of the outside world, it broke through the light pillar and cut 'Osiris's' upper body in two in the blink of an eye!

"No!"

In front of the large screens in various districts of the Sabaody Archipelago, some timid men and women quickly covered their eyes, while others stood there with their mouths open, stunned.

Is Brigadier General Vidal dead?

"Dad--No!!" Enel had already broken down in tears in the classroom. Completely ignoring the stares of his classmates and teachers, he pushed aside the desk in front of him and staggered to the screen, crying bitterly. Rosinante quickly followed and hugged him.

Of all Vidal's adopted sons, Little Enel with whom he had the closest relationship, and he was the only one who truly regarded Vidal as his father.

[Bang!!]

At the Marine Headquarters School, just as all the cadets were stunned, a huge explosion suddenly rang out. The sound was so loud that almost everyone in the entire Teaching Building could hear it clearly.

Those students sitting near the source of the sound were especially unlucky; the classroom was in complete disarray, with people and chairs overturned.

But Bullet, the instigator, smashed the table with his fist and completely ignored the chaos he had caused. He exuded an almost tangible aura of violence and stared fiercely at the light screen in front of the podium.

Seeing his fury, some students who had been covering their ears and wanting to complain shut their mouths, pursed their lips, dusted themselves off, and carefully righted the tables and chairs.

At this moment, Bullet was truly terrifying.

"Bullet." Gion was sitting in front, turned around and looked at him with concern.

At this moment, even Tokikake, who was at odds with Bullet, dared not make the slightest joke, for it could lead to death!

Bullet himself was indeed furious at this moment, his eyes fixed on Moria's face.

Although he has not yet acknowledged his father-son relationship with Vidal, he has accepted the family relationship!

It sounds strange, but it's a genuine emotion. To him, Enel and Rosinante are like brothers, while Vidal isn't his father, and Cornell and Enid aren't like his grandparents, but they are all family.

Because until now, both Vidal and Cornell have treated him sincerely, and Bullet can feel this, so he accepts his identity as a member of the Forest family!

Honestly, if Vidal really does something to Moria this time, he will definitely spend the rest of his life hunting him down.

Anyone who harms my family shall die!!

Grove 53 of Sabaody, Moria burst into unrestrained, maniacal laughter that echoed across the night sky beneath the stars.

Hehehe! Hehehe! Hehehe!

"Dead!"

"I won--"

Although his laughter was occasionally punctuated by noticeable heavy breathing due to exhaustion, it did not dampen Moria's spirits at all.

"Well, it's time to leave."

Having vented his anger through laughter, Moria, remembering that he had killed someone who might be a disciple of Sengoku, dared not linger any longer.

He quickly reverted the Shadow Blade in his hand to Doppelman, then used it to bring Makasi and Lusi’en, who were in the distance, to his side, while he himself strode over to Yifuli's side.

He had already experienced the effects of the Giant Tribe' shadow; how could he forget Yifuli?

We have to bring him back to the ship no matter what. It's just a shame about that Keji.

After the Doppelman returned, carrying one in each hand, Moria had already helped Yifuli up. Yifuli only suffered burns to her chest, but her mobility was not greatly affected.

"Let's go, let's hurry!"

"Um?!"

But just then, Moria suddenly realized that his vision had darkened, and it was so dark that he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face. This startled him, and he quickly looked up at the sky, only to be shocked to find that the moon and the Milky Way had disappeared, and there was only complete darkness!

What happened?

Outside Grove 53, Antoine Vice Admiral his men watched in astonishment as the Wood Cage, which had previously had some gaps, quickly closed into a completely sealed enclosure!

[Boom!]

"Look, it's moving!"

The next second, another anomaly occurred; the wooden shield sealing off Grove 53 seemed to be shrinking inwards.

What's going on?
