One Piece: Obtaining the Black Dragon King Fruit at the Start

Chapter 180 The New Shadow Army

Immediately afterward, a crow, its body as black as charcoal, swooped down from the sky. It circled briefly in the air before flapping its wings and flying away.

Minos witnessed this scene, his gaze instantly sharpening, and he muttered to himself, "That looks like the commander of the Revolutionary Army! It's good that he knew when to leave."

At this point, Minos's gaze turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "Otherwise, let him stay here forever!"

"Perfect, this can also serve as a profound lesson for the revolutionary army, right?"

Afterwards, Minos glanced around indifferently, and after confirming that no other suspicious persons had infiltrated, he turned his gaze to Jack the Drought, a cryptic smile playing on his lips, and asked softly, "Are you here representing the Beasts Pirates?"

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned to Jack.

Whitebeard, Shanks, and the others couldn't help but show puzzled expressions, secretly wondering, "Could it be that Kaido, that troublemaker, is also planning to get involved in this battle?"

Their eyes were fixed on Jack's massive, mountain-like body.

Facing Minos's ambiguous smile, Jack the Drought's expression turned solemn, his voice low and firm: "I'm here representing myself, and it has nothing to do with the Beasts Pirates."

Then, he raised his voice and questioned in a deep tone, his voice echoing in the vast square: "I would like to know what qualifications the Fifth Emperor Minos and the Shadow King have to claim that they will turn the whole world into shadows?"

Jack's words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a huge uproar in the square.

The surrounding pirates exchanged glances, their faces filled with shock. No one had expected that Jack of the Beasts Pirates, a guy usually considered a bit of a hothead, would dare to openly provoke Minos and the Shadow King.

That's really a bit too presumptuous.

Whitebeard and Shanks exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

They seemed to be exchanging a silent conversation: "Is this simpleton really one of Kaido's top lieutenants? He doesn't seem to be very bright."

"Or perhaps, like Kaido, he's a fearless madman?"

At this moment, not only the pirates on Serbia Island thought Jack had gone mad, but even people around the world watching the conflict live felt that Jack's behavior was simply incomprehensible.

Although everyone knows that Minos and the Shadow King are despicable and ruthless, this cannot obscure the fact that they are incredibly powerful.

Moreover, the Shadow King was able to kill even a powerful figure like Beckman, so Jack's rash provocation was undoubtedly courting death.

Everyone was completely baffled as to what Jack was thinking.

Meanwhile, on the eerie and terrifying Onigashima Island in Wano Country in the New World, Kaido was staring intently at the live Den Den Mushi, watching Jack the Drought on the screen with a serious expression, his face so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water.

He clearly remembered that he had only sent Jack to the Serbian islands to seize the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

This guy is now going straight to challenge Minos and the Shadow King. Isn't he just throwing his life away?

At this moment, King and Queen, who were standing below Kaido, were also stunned by Jack's "heroic and fearless" actions, their faces blank with disbelief.

They were filled with doubt: When did Jack become so "daring"?

Kaido remained silent for a long time, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and murmured softly, "Jack, I hope you can survive!"

Minos stared at the serious-looking Jack, utterly speechless.

He really didn't expect that Jack would have such audacity.

However, Minos quickly felt relieved when he recalled Jack's behavior in front of the shipping magnate in the original story.

After all, Jack was a tough guy, so it's not unreasonable for him to have barely died on this Serbian island.

Minos ignored Jack and turned his gaze back to Whitebeard, Shanks, and the others. A flash of disdain crossed his eyes, and he spoke coldly, his smile full of mockery: "Since your Whitebeard Pirates insist on getting involved in this mess, then you can all stay here!"

As soon as Minos finished speaking, Whitebeard's eyes narrowed, and he snorted coldly: "Minos brat, everyone talks big, but if you're so capable, let your strength speak for itself!"

Having said that, Whitebeard picked up Murakumogiri and pointed it at Minos, then roared, "Men of the Whitebeard Pirates, prepare to attack Minos and the Shadow King with me!"

Upon hearing Whitebeard's command, the pirates under the Whitebeard Pirates rubbed their hands together, drew their swords, and charged towards Minos and his crew with eyes full of fighting spirit.

Minos ignored the commotion caused by Whitebeard and the others, turned his gaze to Cheng Xiaoyu, and said in a calm tone, "Let's put on a show for the whole world and let them taste despair and fear."

Cheng Xiaoyu glanced at North, a slight smile playing on his lips, before coldly replying, "Then I'll add a bit of shock to this world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Xiaoyu took the first step forward, let out a loud shout, and a mysterious and powerful blackish-purple color erupted from his body like a surging tide of magic.

The magic spread rapidly, like countless greedy tentacles, reaching out to the surrounding corpses.

Whitebeard and the others watched this sudden scene with solemn expressions, filled with curiosity, wanting to see what kind of tricks the Shadow King was up to.

Shanks watched Cheng Xiaoyu's actions with shock and fear on his face.

If he remembered correctly, the Shadow King used this technique to control the shadows on the corpses during the great battle.

Thinking of this, Shanks shouted in alarm, "Stop him!"

However, it was all too late. By then, the dark purple magic had completely enveloped all the corpses.

Cheng Xiaoyu stared at the corpse enveloped in magic and coldly ordered, "Stand up!" (Background music plays)

In an instant, the corpses seemed to receive a mysterious command, and streams of black energy spread out from them.

Under the solemn gaze of everyone in the world, the dark purple energy gradually gathered and transformed into black and white shadow soldiers.

Visibly, these shadow soldiers looked very different from the original corpses.

Some are enormous and menacing, inspiring awe; others are short but exude an exceptionally dangerous aura.

Each shadow wields a different weapon.

There are sharp, black swords and knives, heavy and huge axes that gleam with a cold light, and oddly shaped, seemingly ordinary clubs that conceal deadly intent.

These weapons added a strong sense of menace to the Shadow Legion, making them look extremely fierce.
