Chapter 84

"Just one person?"

Through the ghost clone she had released, she had detected this information.

"Whatever, I'll eat first and talk later."

Soon, the 'mouth' of the Thriller Bark opened and silently swallowed that pirate ship whole.

【Ding, detected host's location — Ghost Island, sign-in conditions met. Sign in?】

Here it comes...

Luo En closed the Devil Encyclopedia in his hands.

"Sign in."

【Sign-in successful. Sign-in reward obtained: Qi and Blood +10.

Sign-in reward obtained: Certain Kill Kick — Sublimation Core Explosion Kick, current level lv1】

"……?"

Luo En was genuinely stunned for a moment when he heard the reward.

But immediately, a domineering, scorching, nameless force madly surged into his right leg, rapidly reinforcing the muscles and bones of his right leg.

If Luo En could look inward right now, he would see his right leg's shin bone visibly turning a golden color at the naked eye, as if forged from gold, unbreakable.

A massive flood of information about this Certain Kill technique also poured into Luo En's mind.

After the tearing agony in his right leg and a wave of throbbing pain in his head.

Luo En finally opened his eyes, lowered his head to look at his right leg, which seemed to be spilling golden lightning, his eyes full of pleasant surprise and excitement.

【Sublimation Core Explosion Kick: Certain Kill Kick, can gather the full body's strength into the right foot, falling from high in the sky like a meteor, capable of erupting with extreme destructive power.

Current level: lv1. Destructive power boost: 100%】

"It's only lv1 now, and it can already double destructive power..."

Luo En cast his gaze upon the island-like giant ship Thriller Bark before him, a hint of excitement and curiosity in his eyes.

Just how much could his current extreme destructive power, doubled, reach...

"I'll test it out right here."

Before that pirate ship could dock, Luo En stomped his foot, his whole body shooting up like an arrow leaving the bowstring, his speed so fast he became a black shadow.

Before he could stop, he stomped the air with his reinforced right leg, executing Moon Step, the astonishing leg strength erupting and sending him rocketing upward at even greater speed.

"That guy... can actually fly?!"

Perona, seeing this scene through the perspective of her ghost clone, couldn't help but feel a bit bewildered.

"What is he trying to do?"

Although she didn't know what that guy was planning, an inexplicable ominous premonition stirred in Perona's heart.

She immediately recalled that ghost clone and floated off to find Moria.

Standing in the high sky.

Luo En's mind stirred slightly, golden lightning flashing across his right leg, the Qi and Blood in his body rushing toward his right leg in full.

Sun Breathing, Full Concentration!

Plus Armament Haki.

Harden!

Instantly, rolling, visible waves of scorching heat spread outward from beneath his right foot!

At this moment, even without executing Moon Step, Luo En could hover in the high sky — a testament to just how tremendous the power contained in this kick was.

He stood at an extremely high altitude, his gaze piercing through the thick fog as he looked down at the Thriller Bark, now the size of a grain of rice, a flash of scorching heat and excitement in his eyes.

Can this strike shatter this giant ship?

……

In the eerie fortress on Ghost Island, Gecko Moria was watching Hogback turn the corpses he had brought back this time into zombies.

"Hehehehehe, at this rate, I'll soon have a massive undead zombie army!"

Moria laughed triumphantly, "Kaido, wait for me — I'll definitely get my revenge on you! Hehehehehe!"

"Moria, my lord."

Perona flew into the place, her face lighting up with pleasant surprise upon seeing Moria.

"Oh, Perona. What is it?"

Moria was actually quite good to Perona, whom he had adopted and raised since she was small.

"Something seems to have happened outside. Some guy from outside flew up above our island. Do you want to go take a look?"

Perona said.

"Huh? Flew up above us? What nonsense are you spouting."

Moria was somewhat baffled.

Perona was just about to say something.

Suddenly.

A startlingly heavy, oppressive might descended from the sky, the air instantly becoming incomparably viscous, even causing Perona, who was floating in the air, to involuntarily sink.

"What's wrong?"

Hogback, who was in the middle of performing the main surgery to turn the corpse into a zombie, couldn't help but look up.

Moria's expression also grew incomparably solemn.

He immediately rushed out of the room to the outside, Perona following closely behind him. When she caught sight of the golden meteor streaking across the sky in the mid-air, trailing a straight line of firelight as it tilted and plunged down toward this Ghost Island, Perona's eyes instantly widened.

"That is... what?"

Moria could not answer her.

Because he wasn't sure either.

At this moment, he only knew one thing.

That attack... he absolutely couldn't block it!

Fortunately, though, the landing point of that golden meteor seemed to not be where they were...

Under the gazes of Gecko Moria and Perona, the golden meteor, rubbing against the air and igniting into flames, tore through the thick fog and plunged down at a slant from high above at extreme speed!

The air grew thick and heavy.

Under the crushing pressure of that incomparably heavy aura, the zombie bodies on Ghost Island creaked and groaned, as if about to be crushed.

"This..."

Moria stared fixedly at that rapidly descending golden meteor, his tall, grotesque frame trembling slightly, a trace of fear on his face.

This feeling...

So familiar.

It was exactly the same as when he faced that monster Kaido in Wano Country back then...

Under Perona's horrified gaze.

That golden meteor that had torn across the sky fell at a slant into the southeast region of the Thriller Bark with an incomparably terrifying, astonishing momentum from an extremely high altitude.

After that golden meteor landed.

The world first fell silent.

Then.

Boom!

The giant ship, floating on the sea like a small island, jolted violently. The southeast region sank downward, the entire giant ship tilted toward the southeast, and massive waves rose on the surrounding sea!

At the same time, an incomparably terrifying shockwave spread outward from the center, and the ground centered on the southeast region began to crack and shatter in large swathes!

The earth shook and the mountains trembled.

76. One person, fighting Gecko Moria and an entire ship's worth of people single-handedly. (3/5, please subscribe!)

The ground of Ghost Island churned violently as if an earth-bull had turned over, buildings swayed violently and began to collapse and cave in, the ground split apart, seawater poured back toward the southeast region, the island's enormous sails were torn apart by the violent shockwave, the mountain forests were leveled by that shockwave, and countless zombies were blown away.

The massive fortress at the center, under that shockwave, shook violently, shattered and cracked, sending countless falling stones.

Huge fissures spread outward from the southeast direction, and chunks of shattered ground and forest tumbled down those cracks into the sea, while giant waves battered the surrounding walls, triggering another round of tremors.

The entire island looked as if the end of days had come.

"Wh-what do we do? Lord Moria!"

Perona dodged left and right in the air, frantically evading the flying debris.

Moria, meanwhile, stared blankly toward the southeast.
