Chapter 34: The changes in Moria and Shiryu
Impel Down, fourth floor underground, Blazing Hell.
The environment here is still as hot and dry as the abyss, and the air is filled with disgusting blood.
One prisoner was seen wearing a black and white striped prison uniform. Under the insults and whippings of the cruel guards, he endured the burning pain in the soles of his feet, carried bundles of dry firewood into the boiling pool of blood, and then lined up to throw it into the fire beneath the cauldron.
At this time, Gecko Moria, who had just become a little jailer, was walking in and out of the prison room holding a two-meter-long pair of scissors.
Just like now, he left a cell and opened the next cell door. Under the horrified gaze of the prisoner inside, he held its top like a chicken with his left hand. He cut the shadow beneath him with a click and then threw the prisoner against the side wall. He then went on to throw the cut shadow he had in his hand into the shadow box he was carrying as if it were trash.
This shadow box is actually made from the shape of his shadow, that is, the 'Doppelman', because if you want to preserve the shadow, in addition to the physical body, only a box that is also a shadow can do it.
Compared to the former, the number of shadows that the latter can store is almost infinite. After all, shadows actually have no substance. They can be placed in the shadow box by simply stacking them.
He has prepared four shadow boxes of this kind to store the shadows of prisoners in the 'Blazing Hell', 'Starvation Hell', 'Wild Beast Hell' and 'Crimson Hell'.
Director Columbus stipulated that he could only move between these four floors.
Because all the prisoners in the 'Freezing Hell' of the fifth underground floor are big pirates with a bounty of hundreds of millions, and the prisoners in the 'Eternal Hell' of the sixth underground floor are all extraordinary, and every one of them was punished for being too vicious. A monster-level pirate erased from history.
Moria doesn't care. These four layers of prisoners are enough for him to cut for several years. It's good to have two layers less. At least on the surface, he seems very obedient.
