Faced with the dense slashes that sought to cut someone into a thousand pieces, Moria showed no surprise. His Observation Haki had already alerted him to the enemy's presence, so he naturally knew what choice they would make.
"Shadow Shield!"
Moria let out a strange laugh and instantly created a Shadow Shield for defense. At the same time, the Shadow Master transformed into bats and lunged through the air, relentlessly harassing his opponent.
But the Shadow Master's disappearance left Lucci free to act.
Seizing the opportunity, Lucci, who was nearby, erupted with extreme speed and arrived beside Moria in an instant, his fist carrying violent force.
"Six Powers Secret Technique: Maximum-Round Rokuogan!"
The second-strongest to arrive was the long-nosed Kaku.
The moment he reached the scene, he swiftly assessed the situation. By targeting Tom, he had forced Moria to return to defend him, while also creating a perfect opportunity for Lucci.
Gathering information and combat intelligence on one's opponent was a quality every strong fighter should possess.
When facing a powerful enemy, only by judging their weaknesses through their abilities and advantages, then exploiting them, could one gain the foundation for victory.
From their earlier exchanges, Lucci had determined that Moria seemed to rely on his abilities at all times. Even in close combat, that pitch-black figure fought in his place, while Moria himself had never engaged him at close range.
Lucci did not let this opportunity slip away. His blood boiled within his body, continuously erupting with power.
He then gathered that power at his waist, condensed it into a single point, and coordinated his shoulders, arms, and entire body before finally channeling it all into his fists, unleashing the impact in one burst like a tsunami!
His blood burned, and the powerful impact even distorted the surrounding air
