Noah's purpose in removing the Okna Bug eggs is self-evident.
Moria instantly understood his intention, took out 10 of the insect eggs, cut off their shadows, and at the same time cut off the shadows of the 10 undead villains.
The shadow of the insect eggs was injected into the undead villain, and then the Okna Bug eggs were implanted into the undead. As soon as the eggs were implanted, they quickly developed inside the undead.
The shadow of the undead also underwent a strange change, because its original body already had a shadow. Even when Moria released control, it could not automatically return to its original body, but instead became a special wandering shadow.
Noah took out a large fluorescent light.
When fluorescent light shone on the living dead, they did not die from the light.
The wandering shadow, however, quickly avoided the light and hid in the nearby shadows.
Even after testing with sea salt, the living dead did not exhibit any signs of having their abilities dispelled.
In other words, the previous weaknesses of shadow zombies—such as their fear of sea salt and their tendency to perish when exposed to Blazing Sun —have been largely eliminated.
Furthermore, the undead soldiers have another advantage: they can retain the abilities of those with superpowers and can also gain abilities by eating Devil Fruit.
If they are zombie soldiers, they are already corpses. Even if they were previously Devil Fruit users, their Devil Fruit automatically detach from them the moment they die.
However, Noah and Moria certainly wouldn't use the better Devil Fruit on the undead soldiers, since undead soldiers can't actively develop their Devil Fruit abilities, let alone Devil Fruit Awakening them.
Among the Devil Fruit currently in the family's inventory, there are indeed a few that are rather useless.
Noah took out the Carp Fruit, Turtle Fruit, Earthworm Fruit, and Sheep Fruit from the treasure vault and gave these four fruits to Moria to create several elite Living Dead General.
From the large group of villains who were to be transformed into undead soldiers, four of the stronger ones were selected. Noah and Ray performed surgery to remove their frontal lobes, Moria performed shadow manipulation, and finally, they were given Devil Fruit.
Number HS0001: Turtle General ( Turtle Fruit ).
Number HS0002: Dragon General ( Earthworm Fruit ).
Number HS0003: Sheep General ( Sheep Fruit ).
Number HS0004: Fish General ( Carp Fruit ).
Although these fruits were all mediocre, the increased vitality and physical attributes brought by the Zoan significantly boosted the strength of these Living Dead General.
Furthermore, these fruits have several potential uses. For example, the Turtle Fruit's shell can enhance defense; the Earthworm Fruit allows burrowing and limb regeneration; the Sheep Fruit can be used for wool defense and hair attacks; Carp Fruit provides fish scales for armor and teeth for biting, while also allowing the user to move in freshwater.
While still aboard the Thriller Bark, Noah and Ray quickly removed the frontal lobes of the more than eight hundred villains.
Meanwhile, Moria is trying to transform the extra wandering shadows.
The experiment went surprisingly smoothly, possibly because the prefrontal cortex of the main body was removed, which greatly weakened the instinctive will of the wandering shadows. Moria easily tamed more than a dozen wandering shadows.
Although the Shadow Soldiers created by Wandering Shadows are only of average combat strength, capable of only contending with ordinary marines, they possess a very powerful characteristic. "Immortality."
Even if the shadow soldiers are cut into pieces, they will regenerate on their own after a period of time.
These shadowy soldiers cannot be eliminated unless the undead soldiers are also killed.
Moria found it much easier to use the shadow soldiers as fusion materials for the Shadows Asgard than he had previously used the shadows of the prisoners, which could increase the power of the Shadows Asgard by about three times.
However, with his size increasing, Moria knew that the weakness of the Shadows Asgard technique was too obvious, making him an easy target for the enemy.
Therefore, his application and development of the Shadow Soldiers tended towards a support role.
For example, infiltration and reconnaissance can be carried out by shadowy soldiers who can easily infiltrate heavily guarded locations.
Furthermore, the Shadow Soldiers can also be used as a control skill, injecting them into the enemy's shadow to restrict the opponent.
The reason it's not direct control is that the shadow soldiers' wills aren't strong enough. Enemies whose prefrontal cortex hasn't been removed, especially those with Haki, are basically immune to this kind of control.
Therefore, it can only be used as a temporary restriction measure, by injecting shadow soldiers to make the shadow soldiers and enemies fight for control of the body.
Moria named this move: Shadow Parasite.
This tactic also has another use: after killing an enemy, you can disguise yourself as the enemy and infiltrate their ranks while their corpse is still fresh.
Then, based on part of the principle of the Shadows Asgard, he created the Black Shadow Kingdom.
The Black Shadow Kingdom is formed by merging many Shadow Soldiers together, creating a shadowy domain. Moria can move rapidly within the Black Shadow Kingdom, almost certainly achieving the effect of teleportation, while also enhancing his sensory abilities.
This ability is somewhat similar to Kuro's Darkness Canopy.
Of course, the Black Shadow Kingdom has offensive capabilities, and its attack pattern is the same as the Shadow Box that Moria developed before, but the Black Shadow Kingdom's attack is called the Black Coffin.
Next are techniques developed specifically for users with special abilities.
He used the shadowy soldiers' human-like simulated structure to make them drink a large amount of seawater, and then used the seawater inside their stomachs to ambush or assassinate those with abilities.
This move was named: Juice-Bursting Octopus.
Similarly, since the shadow soldiers can drink seawater, it means they can be used as storage space; anything the shadow soldiers can swallow can be stored in their bodies.
That is: the Shadow Stomach Pouch.
With storage capabilities, the Shadow Soldiers' roles become much more diverse.
For example, storing the corpses of highly venomous wasps and then using shadow injection to control them when necessary can achieve a highly venomous attack.
We don't produce highly toxic substances; we're just their transporters!
Or they could store bombs or Seastone weapons inside the Shadow Soldiers.
Under the influence of Noah's memories, Moria's abilities became increasingly bizarre, possessing spatial storage capabilities and applications similar to those of the Card-Card Fruit.
Meanwhile, Noah and Ray busy for half a day and finally removed the frontal lobes of all eight hundred villains.
" Moria, you stay here and recover first."
"Yes, my lord."
Noah then exchanged his life force of over a hundred years with Moria through the Swap-Swap Fruit, and also gave him a large stack of Magic Card.
These Magic Card contain various potions, common weapons, and many other strange and unusual items.
It's estimated that after some time, Moria's strength will rise to the level of Admiral Candidate.
After all, Moria's foundation was not bad. If he hadn't been a couch potato for more than ten years and lost his ambition, he could have reached the level of Admiral Candidate long ago.
Now that he has become Noah's Apostle, although he has lost his original personality, it also means that his will has been reshaped. With the replenished life force, even without the possibility of Awakening Conqueror's Haki, Moria will soon reach the level of Admiral Candidate.
After explaining everything, Noah and his group disappeared into the wormhole and headed to their next destination.
