"Clang..."
Inside the huge ice warehouse, the heavy iron door slowly opened.
After nearly a month, Luke came here again with Perona, Van Augur, Hogback, and others.
The difference is that this time, there is an extra one.
"This is..." Looking at the coffins, Robin's eyes widened.
"This is Gecko Moria, that guy who went around digging graves and collecting corpses of strong men from all over the world..." Luke shrugged, not intending to hide it.
After all, if they can't even accept this.
It can only be said that they are not the same people after all, and it is better to part ways early.
The creation of the zombie army is related to the future development plan of the Netherworld Pirate and is an indispensable part.
Although he admitted that he liked Robin very much, he was not a creature dictated by his lower body and could not walk away when he saw a woman.
"Hmm..."
Robin nodded slightly.
Although this way, it is somewhat desecrated to the dead.
But she had already made up her mind to contribute her own strength, fully support and assist Luke in realizing his lofty ambitions, and her mentality had quietly changed.
She may feel uncomfortable, but it's not unacceptable.
After all, the adult world is not black and white, and she is not that naive.
In particular, the foundation of world government can be said to be unfathomable.
If Luke wants to challenge such a behemoth, it is obviously not enough to rely on his own strength alone.
"Hiss~, the second zombie king, I'm really looking forward to it..." Hogback was full of excitement.
He and Brook stepped forward directly to open Ryuma's coffin.
Then, they carefully carried the former dragon-slayer samurai out and brought him to Luke.
"Who is he?" Robin was a little surprised when she looked at this lifelike, majestic, but somewhat old corpse.
"Hehe~, the Dragon Slayer samurai from Wano, a world-famous swordsman in the past… Shimotsuki Ryuma!"
Perona placed the black sword Shusui that Luke had taken away next to Ryuma and introduced him with some pride: "This black sword Shusui was left behind by him during his lifetime!"
"Should we start?"
Wyper, Van Augur, Brook, and others were watching intently from the sidelines.
They are all curious and look forward to what level of combat power the legendary swordsman will have after being resurrected by Luke with his shadow.
After all, they had seen Oars' exaggerated power with their own eyes.
Special zombies that are also at the king level can't be too bad, right?
But what shocked them was.
Luke's eyes were calm, and he was not in a hurry to split his shadow directly.
Instead, he directly pulled up Ryuma's shadow and cut it off.
"Eh?" Perona was surprised: "Luke, are you to ingest his shadow again?"
"I want to do an experiment!"
Luke said with a smile.
Holding Ryuma's lifeless shadow, without any sign of struggle.
His eyes flashed, and his own shadow surged there and suddenly split: "Shadow Splits!"
"Whoosh..." A large human-shaped shadow burst out and was caught by Luke's hand.
The next moment, he sent Ryuma's motionless and lifeless shadow directly in front of the shadow of his own.
"Click..."
In Robin, Perona, and others' shocked and incomprehensible eyes, Luke's shadow actually swallowed Ryuma's shadow.
"In my name, I grant you new life, give you an independent personality, and become a new entity…"
Immediately afterwards.
A strange red light flashed in Luke's eyes, and he directly made a contract: "You will devote all your loyalty, serve to the death, and never betray!"
In an instant, Luke's previous shadow, at a speed visible to the naked eye, sank into Ryuma's body.
"Thump, thump…"
Soon, Ryuma's chest trembled.
A strong heartbeat begins to sound and gets louder.
The body that was supposed to be frozen was thawing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The fierce momentum made Robin, Wyper, Perona, and others present feel a little frightened.
The stiff fingers slowly began to move.
The eyes that were supposed to be lifeless suddenly opened its eyes, and he sat up all of a sudden.
Ryuma looked around blankly; then he looked at Luke and the others in front of him.
"From today on, you are the Dragon Slayer Samurai, Shimotsuki Ryuma, and I am your master!" Luke looked at Shimotsuki Ryuma, who had been resurrected by him and said calmly.
Ryuma nodded blankly, and then his eyes gradually became clear and sharp.
He knelt on one knee in front of Luke and lowered his head: "Master!"
"Hiss, finally, there is another zombie king..."
Dr. Hobart bared his fangs.
With so much powerful combat power, when Luke's strength reaches a higher level.
Even if they were to enter the New World and compete with the big pirates who had ruled the sea area like an emperor, they wouldn't be afraid at all, right?
"Luke-sama, you just let your shadow eat Ryuma's shadow; what effect did it have?" Wyper asked curiously.
"I'm as curious as you about this..."
Looking at the shadow cast by Ryuma again under the light.
Luke smiled: "I'm also looking forward to what kind of changes there will be!"
This was an attempt he made on a whim.
The shadow of the target's corpse is swallowed by the shadow and then implanted into the target's body.
He split out a shadow with considerable combat power and learning ability and then superimposed the shadow that carried some of Ryuma's own memories and instincts.
Luke also looks forward to what kind of combat power he will have.
Theoretically speaking, his own shadow is still on Ryuma's body, so he should not be afraid of the sun.
If his conjecture is correct, this experiment can be a complete success.
He can take advantage of the situation and transform the zombie army, including Oars and let their combat power reach a higher level.
