"Bastard! I'm going to kill you! I'll definitely kill you!"
Enraged, Moria scrambled to his feet from the ruins. His eyes were bloodshot, and the shadow within him began to rampage due to his loss of control.
He frantically compressed all his shadow power, concentrating it in front of him.
" Shadow Horn Spear!"
A gigantic, jet-black spear, tens of meters long, materialized in mid-air.
This spear was compressed to its limit, its tip gleaming with a chilling, eerie light; its penetrating power was enough to easily pierce through a mountain.
This is Moria's strongest finishing move.
"Die!"
Moria roared, controlling the giant Shadow Horn Spear, and with a piercing shriek that cut through the air, confidently launched his most lethal piercing attack towards Uchiha Xin.
Its speed and power were so great that even the surrounding air seemed to groan in agony.
However, a devastating scene unfolded.
Uchiha Xin remained standing in the same spot, not even raising his hand, but simply extending his right index finger in an extremely casual manner.
"Bite!"
A crisp sound of impact rang out.
The incredibly powerful giant Shadow Horn Spear pierced with pinpoint accuracy the tip of Uchiha Xin's pale index finger.
A violent impact exploded at his fingertips, whipping up a gust of wind.
But Uchiha Xin's body remained completely still. Not even the slightest white mark was left on his index finger.
"This... this is impossible!"
Moria's bloodshot eyes widened, his eyeballs almost bulging out of their sockets.
He desperately channeled his power, trying to push the Shadow Horn Spear forward another step.
But that seemingly fragile index finger acted like an insurmountable wall of sighs, easily withstanding all the force.
Moria was completely devastated, utterly unable to believe that his ultimate attack had been so easily neutralized.
Uchiha Xin looked at the devastated Moria and spoke calmly.
Don't waste your energy.
Even if your strength increased tenfold, it would be meaningless in front of me.
As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Xin slightly tightened his fingertips.
The power of the Body of the Extreme Path flowed from his fingertips and instantly into the Shadow Horn Spear.
"Snap! Bang!"
The seemingly indestructible giant Shadow Horn Spear began to crack inch by inch from its tip, and in the blink of an eye, it was shattered into countless afterimages.
The recoil, like a raging storm, crashed down on Moria along the connection of his shadow.
Moria screamed in agony as his massive body could no longer be maintained, and the shadows within him burst forth. He was blasted into the air.
Seeing Moria rendered powerless in mid-air, Uchiha Xin slowly drew his Black Blade Yoru, Yoru, from his waist.
"Thank you for sending me such a fine warship from all this way."
"I'll take pity on you and give you a quick death."
Uchiha Xin gripped the hilt of the Black Blade Yoru tightly with both hands. He knew absolutely nothing about the secrets of swordsmanship.
He simply poured all the terrifying brute force of his Body of the Extreme Path into the blade.
Then, he unleashed a powerful flying slash at Moria, who was still in mid-air.
"Boom!"
A giant, transparent crescent-shaped sword aura, over ten meters long, tore through the air and roared out.
This sword energy was formed entirely from the compression of pure physical air pressure, yet it carried a destructive power more terrifying than any Great Swordsman.
Moria, suspended in mid-air, had no way to escape.
"No--!"
Amid Moria's desperate screams, the giant crescent-shaped sword aura engulfed him completely.
"Bang!"
With a muffled explosion, Moria's massive body was blasted apart in mid-air by a flying slash, turning into a rain of blood that scattered across the sea.
Post-war.
Uchiha Xin watched the lingering power of the sword energy slowly dissipate in the sky, and quite satisfied, he hoisted the Black Blade Yoru onto his shoulder.
"Not bad, not bad."
He stroked his chin, feeling extremely pleased with himself.
"It seems I have an exceptional talent for swordsmanship; I can unleash such a powerful sword aura with just a couple of casual swings."
He was completely unaware that his attack had absolutely nothing to do with swordsmanship.
That was purely relying on the terrifying brute force of the Body of the Extreme Path to forcibly create high-pressure wind blades from the air.
The Black Blade Yoru, carried on his shoulder, trembled slightly, emitting a barely perceptible mournful cry.
As one of the Twelve Supreme Grade Blades, it possesses its own pride and sword spirit.
Now it's being wielded like a giant iron rod by a complete novice who knows nothing about swordsmanship.
This was the greatest misinterpretation and insult to it. But faced with Uchiha Xin's all-encompassing power, Black Blade Yoru could only helplessly endure this humiliation.
After Moria and his men were completely wiped out, the entire Thriller Bark finally fell silent.
Uchiha Xin looked around at the enormous island sailboat.
He naturally regarded the original ship owner Moria, as an outsider who deserved to die.
"This place is a bit gloomy, but it's large enough and the facilities are fairly complete."
Uchiha Xin dusted off his hands and strode towards the core castle of the sailing ship, preparing to take over and completely dismantle the entire Thriller Bark.
Several days later.
The sea breeze was gentle, and the sun was shining brightly.
Uchiha Xin lay comfortably on a large recliner on the top floor of the tower, enjoying a rare moment of rest.
Sunlight shone on his purple-gold imperial robes, reflecting a faint halo.
Perona stood to the side, dressed in a black and white maid outfit. She held an exquisite tea tray in her hands and was silently pouring tea for Uchiha Xin.
The tea was warm and fragrant.
Perona's movements were stiff, her heart filled with resentment, which almost materialized.
She stared intently at the teacup, her teeth grinding together, wishing she could smash the teapot in her hand directly onto Uchiha Xin's head.
But she didn't dare.
A few days ago, she was knocked unconscious by a mental shock from Uchiha Xin.
When she opened her eyes again, everything had changed. She had completely lost any chance to resist.
At that moment, Kumashi lay by her bedside, crying his eyes out.
The enormous zombie bear told her everything that had happened in the past few days.
"Lady Perona, it's all over!" Kumashi's voice was filled with terror, and his whole body was trembling.
"That man is a complete monster!"
"He killed the swordsman Ryuma in a single move, severely injured Lord Absalom, and also killed Lord Hogback on the spot!"
"The most terrifying one is Lord Moria!"
Lord Moria absorbed a thousand shadows, transforming into a gigantic monster tens of meters tall.
As a result, that man broke his arm with a single punch, and then he was hacked to pieces with a single knife!
Perona was completely stunned when she heard these words.
She couldn't believe her ears.
Lord Moria is Shichibukai, the absolute ruler of this Florian Triangle.
