only…
In the almost vague memory of the past, I vaguely remember that someone was always chattering about one thing.
That is, you have to eat the entire Devil Fruit to gain 100% strength.
Maud laughed it off at first.
But now...
Maud hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth and took another big bite of the pulp. She swallowed the pulp directly while holding back her nausea.
Lafayette and Luo looked at Maud's behavior in surprise, looking like they were hesitant to speak.
Maude ate up the shadow fruit in a few mouthfuls, and her frown relaxed slightly.
After eating a few more bites, it was actually not bad.
Maud thought to herself.
Then, he noticed the strange looks from Lafayette and Luo.
"I don't want to waste such a precious thing."
Maud immediately understood the reason for that strange look and explained casually.
Luo expressed doubts. In his eyes, Mod was already a master of Devil Fruit theory that he could look up to.
There must be a reason for deliberately eating the entire devil fruit, right
So, what's the motivation
Once Luo's thoughts wandered away, he couldn't take them back.
Lafayette raised his hand and pressed the brim of his hat, found a step for Maud, and said with a smile: "Hoho, precious things cannot be wasted. Now that the fruit has been eaten, let's get down to business."
"Business?"
Luo came back to his senses and raised his brows slightly.
Maude smiled. Unlike Luo who had only a vague understanding, he knew very well what the so-called "business" was.
"That's okay. Do you have your camera with you?"
Maude turned her head and looked at Moria's body, a hint of indifference flashed in her eyes.
"Of course." Lafayette took out a camera from his pocket.
"Then let's get started."
Maude closed her eyes and let her mind be in a stable and peaceful state. Then, she used this mental state to carefully feel the changes in her body after eating the shadow fruit.
Throbbing
No, it was more like there was a faint heartbeat in my body that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
The presence of the heartbeat is extremely weak. If you don't concentrate and pay attention, it seems that it will disappear without a trace in the next second.
It seems that it is movement simulated from the spiritual level.
Maud tried to get in touch with the simulated heartbeat.
The spirit was intertwined with the heartbeat like a tentacle. Some things that were inexplicable, but seemed to be innate, emerged in his mind.
Certain instincts that are present in genes.
There is no need for others to teach you, nor for external factors to intervene.
Maude slowly opened her eyes, and as soon as she thought about it, the shadow covering the floor behind her began to stir upward like a liquid, and gradually transformed into a three-dimensional humanoid shadow with a face that was fifty-six minutes similar to her own.
"Ah… "
Looking at the shadow clone whose hands and feet were the same as his own, Moder curled his lips and controlled the shadow clone to come to Moria's body.
Under Mod's control, the shadow clone stood up Moria's body directly.
All objectively existing tangible substances will basically produce shadows under the premise of being illuminated by a light source.
Corpses are no exception.
The light source in the room shone on Moriah's body, pulling out a shadow on the floor behind him.
Maud narrowed his eyes slightly and let the shadow clone blend into the shadow reflected by Moria's body.
Without the support of the shadow clone, Moria's body fell backwards and fell heavily to the floor with a bang.
Maud consciously controlled the shadow and wanted to use his shadow to control Moria's body.
However, Moriah's body lay motionless on the ground.
The instructions sent by Maude were like falling into the sea, and there was no response at all.
"Theoretically it's possible."
Moder did not give up and continued to try to control Moria's body through the shadow.
After all, I just ate the shadow fruit, so my proficiency is not high, so it is normal to fail.
Lafayette and Luo watched silently and did not make a sound to influence Maude.
After a few minutes of Mod's attempts, Moria's body moved slightly, and finally there was feedback.
Immediately afterwards, as Mod continued to transmit instructions, Moria's body slowly straightened up its upper body, and then stood up awkwardly.
The beginning is 100%, and then it becomes much simpler.
"Successful."
Maude smiled slightly, like a child who had just gotten a new toy. She did not stop trying, but used the shadow to further control Moria's facial features.
Under his control, Moria's stiff face gradually revealed a ferocious expression.
The only drawback is that his eyes are dull.
Maude realized something, and the ferocious expression on Moriah's face gradually turned into a daze, and she looked a little bit unbelievable.
After doing this, Maude pulled out the autumn water and signaled with her eyes that Lafayette could take pictures.
Lafayette understood, raised the camera, and pointed the lens at Moriah's body.
Mord then stabbed Moriah in the heart.
"Crack!"
Lafayette pressed the shutter at the right time and took a photo of Maud stabbing Moriah's body.
Maud took back the autumn water, shook off the blood on the blade, and then slowly sheathed it.
Once the photos are developed, Maude will send them directly to Dear Turkey Dada.
With his help, building momentum will be much easier.
Once the news spreads, the world government will no longer be able to sit still.
It's one thing to find a new candidate for the Shichibukai as soon as possible, but it's another thing to smooth over the face.
At that moment, the person who killed the Shichibukai will take his place, which is undoubtedly something that the World Government would like to see.
Luo was not stupid either. After watching the operations of Maude and Lafayette, he immediately understood their motives.
"The position of Shichibukai..."
Luo whispered to himself in his heart.
Now, it can be said that he has placed most of his possibilities on Mod.
Will you win or lose
He had no idea.
Maude is bound to win the position of Shichibukai.
However, he was not anxious at all until the results came out.
At the moment, there was one thing that concerned him more.
Maude calmly looked at Moria's corpse with a bloody hole in his chest.
From the moment he ate the Devil Fruit, it meant that he didn't care at all about the weakness of sea water and sea tower stones.
However, he had to verify one thing.
Once a person who has lost his shadow is exposed to sunlight, his body will turn into ashes.
Will this characteristic also target the ability users themselves
If so, it will affect the diversification of shadow fruits.
Chapter 135: What kind of guys are these
What Mod valued most was not only the potential upper limit of Shadow Fruit, but also the diversity of Shadow Fruit.
For example, the consistent relationship between ontology and shadow.
With this relationship, as long as the shadow grows longer, the body will also grow longer along with the shadow.
Under the premise of solving the [operation difficulty], as long as Mod can make the shadow huge, theoretically, the main body should also be able to become huge.
In the same way, if the main body loses its arms and legs, as long as the shadow can be kneaded back to its original appearance, the severed arms and legs may be able to grow back in an instant.
These are among the potential effects of the Shadow Fruit.
Can it be done, or can't it be done
This option is meaningless in the face of Devil Fruits.
Mod, who has been baptized by the concept of the mind power system in Hunter World, knows the importance of imagination and the impact of idealism.
Therefore, even if some concepts sound incredible, as long as you recognize them and think you can do them.
Then, the impossible will become possible.
Prior to this, Xiong's Meatball Fruit and Luo's Surgery Fruit had already proven this to Mod.
Compared to the future development direction of the Shadow Fruit, Mod is now more concerned about eliminating the weaknesses of the Shadow Fruit.
Temporarily suppressing this thought, Maud withdrew the shadow that merged into Moria's body.
"Let's go downstairs and meet new friends."
The new friend that Mod was talking about was, of course, Brooke, who had been ravaged by Philo with joint techniques, and who was also... the owner of the Underworld Fruit.
Among the devil fruits that Mod knows, there are not many fruits related to the soul.
Brook's Underworld Fruit is one, and the Fourth Emperor Charlotte Lingling's Soul Soul Fruit is also one.
And the shadow fruit he just ate is essentially related to the soul.
Because he is a time traveler, he is somewhat sensitive to this aspect.
Although the main target of coming to the Devil's Triangle was Moria, Mod also wanted to contact Brooke, but he didn't expect Brooke to come to his door.
Maude, Lafayette, and Luo returned to the lobby on the first floor one after another.
Perona, who had vented her feelings on Brooke, saw Maud and Lafayette coming down the stairs, and her already gloomy mood was suddenly overshadowed by a thick haze.
Looking away like a conditioned reflex, Perona buried her head in her chest, like an ostrich, trying to eliminate her own sense of existence.
Maude glanced at Perona.
It was foreseeable that this woman was captured by Lafayette.
How to deal with it
To put it simply and crudely, just kill them directly and then take out the ghost fruit.
But Perona can also be controlled through her heart.
only…
Maude's eyes suddenly dropped and glanced at Perona's body, which was too weak to bear to look at.
With a body of this strength, the amount of physical experience you can get is basically negligible.
On the contrary, it is a Devil Fruit experience, so maybe you can look forward to it.
Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed deep in Maud's eyes.
Perona, who was burying her head in her chest, suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She could clearly feel Maud's glance.
