Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 535 Enraging Moria, One Furious Punch

This was the first time Hogback and his two companions had ever witnessed such a scene. The protective shield formed by Yoru's Haki was something they had never seen even when Moria challenged Kaido.

Most importantly, Moria doesn't seem to have any hidden tricks up his sleeve; he was just acting out of arrogance.

Thinking of this, Hogback and the other two were all filled with terror.

"If Lord Moria wasn't hiding his strength, then why was he so arrogant just now?"

All three of them were speechless. Where did Moria get the confidence to be so arrogant in front of Yoru?

This led them to believe that Moria possessed some hidden abilities that could counter Yoru's power.

Seeing the crackling Armament Haki lightning around Ye Yu, and the protective shield formed by the black and red lightning, the three swallowed hard and involuntarily took several steps back.

That was due to the oppressive force and terrifying force field released by Armament Haki.

Around the Armament Haki shield, spiderweb-like cracks continuously appeared on the castle floor, and the surrounding walls also continued to crumble.

The three looked at Moria, who was sitting on the ground, staring blankly at Yoru's Armament Haki shield.

Yoru's Armament Haki was not only materialized, but also incredibly solid. In this world, only a Yonko-level powerhouse or a Marine Admiral could achieve this level of Armament Haki.

Perhaps even a master at the level of the Four Emperors could not unleash such a solid Armament Haki.

Moria was completely overwhelmed by Armament Haki.

He completely forgot that he was currently fighting Ye Yu.

Looking at Moria's appearance, Yoru shook his head. "In the end, he's just a Shichibukai. The gap between him and top-tier powerhouses is still too great."

After Yoru finished speaking, Robin next to him laughed and said, "Only you could say something like that. Even the Four Emperors would take a Shichibukai-level expert seriously, let alone Moria, who challenged Kaido, one of the Four Emperors."

"Although he lost, he survived."

"His strength is actually not bad, he just met you."

Robin knew a lot about Moria, and she knew very well that Moria's poor performance was not because he was weak. Judging from his Devil Fruit ability just now, his ability was very strange. If he had not met Yoru today, but someone else, he would hardly have lost so badly.

Moria is a shadow warrior, and the ability to switch places with his own shadow warrior is already a kind of spatial ability, similar to Sasuke's Amenotejikara in the Naruto world.

Moreover, Moria's shadow warriors don't consume much stamina.

He can do it several times.

If Moria hadn't changed his mindset after losing to Kaido and stopped training hard all these years, he would definitely be among the top-ranked Shichibukai with his abilities and strength.

Of course, even so, the outcome of his fight with Ye Yu today will not change.

Robin was well aware of this.

Even a Marine Admiral is no match for Yoru, and Yoru doesn't seem to be putting in any effort at all. Even if Moria's strength increases further, he will still be beaten to this state.

Yoru looked at Moria, dispelled the shield of Armament Haki, and the surroundings returned to calm.

Moria suddenly realized his embarrassing situation and jumped up, pointing at Yoru and saying, "That was just an accident. I haven't even used my full strength yet. Don't think you can defeat me."

However, when Moria said these words, he no longer had any confidence. He didn't know how powerful Ye Yu was before, but now, even if he was stupid, he knew that he was no match for Ye Yu.

Looking at Yoru's calm expression, Moria thought to himself, "Just who is this guy? Why is he so strong? He's only 21 years old, right? What a joke! What kind of monstrous talent does he have to have such terrifying power at this age? He can build a defensive wall with just Armament Haki, and he even disintegrated my shadow."

"This guy's 51 billion Berry bounty must be real. What was I doing just now?"

"How dare they provoke someone like that."

Moria was now in a difficult position, with Hogback and the other two watching from the sidelines.

I just made so many tough statements, if I surrender now, I'll lose all face.

Although Moria remained defiant, he dared not make any further moves.

They just kept making threats, but didn't take any concrete action.

Seeing Moria's conflicted expression, Yoru smiled and said, "With your strength, did you really go and challenge Kaido, one of the Four Emperors?"

Upon hearing Ye Yu's words, Moria was suddenly taken aback.

This was a pain that would never fade in his heart, and the three of them, including Hogback, never dared to mention it in front of him.

That time, all his crew members died, and he was the only one who survived.

For a captain who cherishes his crew, this is his Achilles' heel, something he absolutely will not allow anyone to mention.

Even though he knew he was no match for Ye Yu, even though he knew that if he continued to provoke Ye Yu, he might die.

But he still coldly asked Ye Yu, "Do you want to die?"

Ye Yu was somewhat surprised by Moria's change in expression. He knew that Moria had already seen the difference in strength between the two sides during their exchange of blows, yet he still exuded a killing intent.

They weren't worried at all about provoking him.

Ye Yu knew the reason after a little thought.

"It seems that this is the matter you've been unwilling to bring up. Losing to Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, is a psychological barrier that you find difficult to overcome."

No sooner had Ye Yu finished speaking than Moria clenched his fist and charged at Ye Yu, yelling, "You bastard, how dare you say that? You're asking for death!"

"Boom!"

Moria unleashed his full power; despite his already large body, he still displayed several times greater strength than usual. Yoru had enraged him.

He compressed the air to create wind pressure, and the ground shattered.

He was incredibly fast, and in an instant he was in front of Ye Yu, throwing a punch at Ye Yu's face.

Ye Yu watched this scene with a calm expression.

Moria's furious punch contained terrifying power, enough to shatter several mountains.

But he didn't know that just a few months after Ye Yu arrived in this world, when he first unlocked his physical limitations at the age of 10, he was able to smash several mountains with a single punch.

For him, smashing a mountain was as easy as lifting a finger.

If Moria's punch were delivered to an ordinary strongman in this world, he would probably be reduced to a bloody mist, or at least severely injured.

Moria's enormous fist was even covered with a dense layer of Armament Haki.

The air was compressed into an air cannon.

A strong wind swept around them.
