Chapter 30 Shadow and Light Showdown!
[Whoosh!]
As a golden Light flashing large leg flashed past, Gekko Moria's head actually shattered, turning into pieces of torn Shadow fragments fluttering in the air.
"Eh—?"
Borsalino looked in confusion at Moria's body, which had turned into a mass of purplish-black Shadow in front of him.
[Swish!]
Suddenly, this Shadow violently swung the sharp Shadow Blade in its hand, turning into a black ray that slashed horizontally at the former's waist, cutting Borsalino in two.
However, there were no wounds or Fresh Blood at the cut, but rather bright Golden Light, followed by a flash of Golden Light, and in the blink of an eye, he reappeared at his original standing position.
"How scary~"
Borsalino looked like he was still in shock, his gaze passing over the Shadow and looking at Gekko Moria, who had appeared fifty meters away at some point, his face full of confusion.
"You're also a Logia Type? But the information said you were a Paramecia Type Shadow-Shadow Fruit Ability User, right?"
"Hee hee hee—I'd like to know, why your Elementalization can be immune to my slashes, even though the attack just now was imbued with Haki."
Gekko Moria had no interest in introducing his Ability to him, but instead asked back. It was the first time he had faced a Logia Type Ability User, so he was not sure whether Haki could hurt Elementalization.
"Well, who knows~"
Borsalino's answer was insincere.
"Hmph, we'll know once we fight, I really don't believe Haki is useless against you!" Gekko Moria snorted coldly, and then shouted: "Shadow Magician, attack with me!"
[Bang—]
With a forceful stomp on the ground, his nearly seven-meter-tall figure instantly accelerated, easily smashing through an Air Wave generated by the sonic boom, turning into a huge purplish-black afterimage and rushing up.
At the same time, the Shadow, whose form was exactly the same as his, approached Borsalino first, wielding a Shadow Blade to slash.
"Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi~"
Borsalino moved even faster, casually drawing out a golden Long Sword completely condensed from Light Particle, instantly blocking the Shadow Blade's attack.
Next, in less than two seconds, Shadow Blade and Light Sword clashed at an extremely high speed that was blurry to the naked eye of ordinary people. Black rays and Golden Light clashed and clanged, and ripples of Air Wave constantly generated in mid-air. Occasionally, slashes cut out hideous long cracks on the ground.
In the next second, Gekko Moria's main Body approached, and he tried to get behind Borsalino, but the latter flashed back a few meters, not giving him a chance to attack from both sides at all.
Helpless, Moria had no choice but to launch a quick attack with 'Shadow Magician' from the left and right, each slash wielding a dangerous purplish-black cut.
Borsalino blocked with his sword while observing the situation of both.
He found that this so-called 'Shadow Magician', whether it was strength, speed, or reaction, was basically the same as Moria's main Body.
Only in terms of Haki was there some difference in strength. The Shadow Blade of the former was only wrapped in a weak layer of Armament Haki, while the Haki aura on the latter's Long Sword was extremely strong, even 'hardening' the blade.
However, in terms of swordsmanship alone, he was obviously stronger, although Moria's swordsmanship was also quite good.
Also, speed!
[Swish—]
Borsalino turned into a Light again, disappearing from the spot in the blink of an eye, and then appearing on the left side of Moria's main Body, slashing over with his sword.
Fortunately, the latter's Observation Haki level was decent, and he reacted in time, but it was too late to block with his sword.
As for hardening his Body with Armament Haki to test the sharpness of 'Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi', he didn't even dare to think about it, as the Light Sword was obviously also wrapped in a layer of Haki.
"Shadow Body Double!"
At this critical moment, Moria once again used the Ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit to exchange positions with his Shadow, which was the 'Shadow Magician'.
"Oh my~~"
Borsalino raised an Eyebrow when he saw this scene, but Moria didn't hesitate at all, and immediately launched his killing move.
"Scattering Bats!"
With a bang, the 'Shadow Magician' in front of him suddenly exploded, turning into dense Shadow Bats and pouncing up. They scattered and opened, enveloping Borsalino like a black net from multiple directions.
Although this move was sudden, the latter also had Observation Haki, coupled with the invincible speed of the Light Fruit, instantly dodging all the bats' pounces, and reappearing in the high Space.
"Yo~ What troublesome Abilities——" Borsalino stroked his chin and looked down at the bottom in distress.
At the same time, Gekko Moria on the ground was also frowning and staring at the sky, muttering in a low voice: "This guy's speed is too fast, how can I fight this?"
In his opinion, the swordsmanship of both sides was evenly matched, and neither of them could gain an advantage by relying on it. Then what they were fighting was Haki and Devil Fruit Ability.
In terms of Armament Haki and Observation Haki, he seemed to be slightly inferior, and in terms of Ability, it seemed that neither could do anything to the other.
The combination of 'Shadow Magician' and 'Shadow Body Double' was equivalent to Logia Transformation + Space conversion, but this was more than enough to protect oneself, and it was too difficult to hurt Borsalino.
"It seems this battle is going to take a long time…" Gekko Moria thought secretly in his heart, when suddenly, he remembered his fellow tribesmen.
They've been fighting like this, why haven't they noticed yet?!
[Beep————]
But Borsalino didn't give him a chance to check on his fellow tribesmen at all. The 'Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi' in his hand had already disappeared, and a dazzling Golden Light lit up at his fingertips.
[Pew! Pew! Pew!]
Three Light Beam shot out, their speed so fast that they instantly approached Gekko Moria's face, but the latter casually took a few steps with his Observation Haki, easily dodging the Laser rays.
"Hee hee hee——, what's the use of this?" Moria sneered.
Although Borsalino's Observation Haki seemed to be slightly better than his, the gap was not so big that he could predict his predictions.
But in the next second, when the Light Beam landed on the snow behind him, three bright red Explosive Fireball expanded, and the high-temperature Flame and shock wave instantly engulfed large swaths of snowflakes and Gekko Moria.
[Beep————]
Borsalino in the high Space was very indifferent to this scene, and the Light Beam on his finger continued to fire, and another three shots were fired down.
Can't you switch positions with your Shadow clone?
Okay, then I'll just blow up both of you together, try dodging that!
[Swish!]
Suddenly, an anomaly occurred. In the continuous Firelight of the explosion, a huge purplish-black slash appeared, unexpectedly temporarily cutting through the Flame and Air Wave.
Immediately afterwards, the 'Shadow Magician' soared into the sky, and as soon as it flew in front of Borsalino, the black color on its Body quickly faded, turning into a slightly embarrassed Moria himself.
"Die for me!!"
The three-meter-long Long Sword slashed out violently, the sharp blade wrapped in a thick purplish-black Shadow Blade and a strong Armament Haki, splitting Borsalino in half from top to bottom.
But the situation was the same as before, no Fresh Blood appeared, but instead turned into two Golden Light flying out to the left and right, and then merged into one in the distant mid-air, that annoying and wretched Appearance reappeared.
"Yo~ Your Shadow clone can also fly, what a terrifying Ability~~"
Borsalino pouted his mouth with a surprised look, but when he saw Moria falling down, he grinned and said: "I see, after switching positions, you can't fly anymore."
However, the broken clothes and furious expression on the latter's Body obviously showed that the previous six Light Beam explosions had a certain effect.
Since that's the case, then increase the intensity!
When Gekko Moria just landed back on the ground full of Scorched Earth potholes, the sky seemed to have an extra sun, and the dazzling Golden Light covered the entire blue sky.
"Yasakani no Magatama~~"
