Later, the White Horse came to the coastline and anchored.
A gangway stood toward the shore, and people got off the boat one after another.
"Jim, Philo."
"captain."
Jim nodded towards Maud, while Philo kept yawning, his sleepiness clearly evident.
During the time she stayed at home, she, who had the attributes of a model worker, studied various poisonous plants on the terrifying three-masted ship day and night.
After studying the plants clearly, he still didn't stop and extended his claws to the corpses stored in the freezer.
Maude glanced at the sleepy Philo and could probably guess the reason.
Without Jia Ya's food supplements as logistical support, if Philo was allowed to continue like this, he might really die suddenly one day.
Whether it is research and further study of class skills, or rigorous training to obtain stronger strength, efficiency and progress can be greatly improved through Jia Ya's food supplement cooking.
Maude had this consideration in mind when he wanted Rajaya to board the ship.
Everyone did not stay on the shore for too long. They walked through forests, cemeteries, ruins and other places before arriving at the castle in the center of the island ship.
"It's such an uncomfortable place to be."
Cavendish thought to himself.
Along the way, the diffuse fog, the desolate and gloomy cemetery, and the chill that irritated the skin anytime and anywhere gave Cavendish a rather bad impression.
There is no doubt that the environment of the terrifying barque is extremely incompatible with his radiant personality.
With this idea in mind, after arriving at the castle, he was taken directly to a room by Maud.
"This is... the anatomy room!"
Cavendish stared blankly at the various chilling instruments on the wall made of stone bricks, as well as an operating table stained with black blood lying in the center of the room.
"In other words, what you want me to cooperate with is... dissecting my body!?"
Cavendish stared at Maud with an angry face, and then put his right hand on the handle of the knife.
No wonder Maude said some words related to [the body] that are easily distorted.
If you really want to be dissected...
Anyway, both the left and the right are going to die, so it would be better to die in the battle with Mod.
Clang!
Maud didn't pay attention to Cavendish's excessive reaction, but slowly pulled out the Chidori.
His action of drawing the sword further confirmed Cavendish's suspicion.
Immediately, Cavendish took a deep breath and was mentally prepared for heroic sacrifice.
But what Maud said next made Cavendish startled.
"Cavendish, let me lend you my shadow."
"What's the meaning?"
Cavendish didn't know why.
As soon as the words came out, Maude suddenly disappeared from the field of vision.
"Um?"
Cavendish's eyes narrowed sharply, and he subconsciously drew the famous sword Durandal.
However,
Maud had come up behind him and cut away his shadow.
If it was really a battle, at that moment, his body and head would have been different.
Cavendish, whose reaction was a beat slower, turned around.
After recognizing the situation in an instant, he gritted his teeth and looked at Maud, who was grabbing his shadow, and once again felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Such a despairing disparity…
Use talent, use time, and use hard work.
Can you catch up
Cavendish slowly lowered his sword arm.
He had never worked hard before, and for the first time he had the idea of training hard to become stronger.
Even if you can't catch up with Maud, at least you won't be as helpless as you are now.
This seemingly insignificant episode actually gave birth to Cavendish's awakening.
Maude looked at Cavendish, who was in a state of confusion, and whispered to himself: "The shadow was cut off but he didn't faint on the spot. Sure enough... the value of the experiment is very extraordinary."
After saying that, Maud looked at the shadow in her hand.
The dark shadow was struggling crazily and silently with its mouth wide open.
The violent aura shown by the shadow was closer to Cavendish's personality, which gave Maud's original idea a foothold.
This is also the reason why Cavendish did not fall into coma immediately after his shadow was cut away.
From this we can also derive the most basic concept.
That is, under the premise that personality is equal to soul, there are two souls residing in Cavendish's body.
This kind of vivid expressiveness is fundamentally different from Philo's more suggestive personality switching.
As long as the experimental value of Cavendish can be well utilized, the upper limit of shadow fruit may be reached to a new height.
Maud thought.
"Experimental value?"
Cavendish heard Maud's muttering to himself, and he couldn't help but tremble again after he had just had a false alarm.
It turned out that the man in front of him wanted to do some kind of experiment on him.
No, to be more precise, take his shadow...
"Bang."
At this moment, Jim pushed open the door to the anatomy room and walked in.
He brought a zombie that Mod would use for his experiments.
"Just put it there."
Maud pointed to the dirty operating table.
Jim nodded silently, placed the zombie on the operating table, then turned and left the anatomy room to continue his daily high-intensity exercise.
When Maude and the others went to the Chambord Islands, Jim was not idle while supervising Perona's physical training. He spent almost all his free time exercising, which can be said to be very hard.
Now Jaya is back.
That means he can squeeze in at least one-third more time for exercise every day.
After Jim left, Maud walked to the operating table and looked down at the zombies on the operating table.
This zombie has an old long knife hanging on its waist. He was obviously a swordsman in life, but the body's preservation and strength are average. Even his head is almost bald, with only a small amount of hair left.
Cavendish silently sheathed Durandal, and then looked silently at Maud who was standing in front of the operating table.
Even though he knew that Maud was going to use his shadow for some kind of experiment, he still couldn't figure out Maud's true purpose.
Naturally, Maud could not explain anything to Cavendish.
Looking at the shadow in his hand that was making useless struggling movements, Maude skipped the steps of signing the contract and directly inserted Cavendish's shadow into the swordsman zombie on the operating table.
Cavendish looked at this scene and was secretly shocked.
Maud calmly looked at the zombies stuffed into the shadows, waiting for the result.
After a moment, the swordsman zombie suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, the mouth opened angrily, breaking the lines sewn around the lips one by one.
Uh-huh!
The swordsman zombie stood up suddenly and pulled out the old broken knife from his waist with extremely skillful movements.
At the same time, the swordsman zombie's small amount of hair, which is almost bald, is dancing with the waves like seaweed, but it is a bit funny.
"This is… "
The posture shown by the swordsman zombie made Cavendish understand everything in an instant.
Although he has never actually seen the personality, he can see the image of the body when the personality dominates the body through newspapers or some video materials.
Under this understanding, whether it is the crazy mouth or the small amount of hair that is still dancing even if there is not much left.
They are undoubtedly telling Cavendish the answer.
The swordsman zombie exuded a violent aura and was filled with the desire to destroy. He turned his neck and looked fiercely at the nearest Mod.
Then, the swordsman zombie was really stiff.
Bang!
The broken knife in his hand fell to the ground.
The violent aura that frightens ordinary people comes and goes quickly.
At the same time, the small amount of hair that danced on the head for less than two seconds immediately disappeared like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Seeing the contrasting reactions of the swordsman zombie, Cavendish was stunned for a while.
I only heard the crew say how Rommel's Weasel was frightened by Mod.
Now, Cavendish finally saw it with his own eyes.
However, instead of feeling disappointed, he felt a sense of sympathy.
well.
He sighed deeply in his heart.
Weakness is the root of incompetence...
Chapter 196: The concept of soul separation
The shadow is inextricably linked to the body.
There are many ways to demonstrate this.
One of them is the soul.
If the ability effect exerted by the shadow fruit is used as the basis for judgment.
So,
Strictly speaking, the shadow is not the individual soul.
Judging from the way the cut shadow is stuffed into the zombie, it looks more like... a copied soul.
Because of this, there is an army of zombies created by Moria.
In the face of this ability of the Shadow Fruit, Cavendish, who has a dual personality, is obviously a rare example.
because,
The shadow cut off from his body did not become a soul replica, but directly became the carrier of another personality.
This is how the soul manifests.
In addition, this world itself has some devil fruits that involve the soul.
The most representative one is undoubtedly the Soul Fruit of the Fourth Emperor Charlotte Lingling.
In addition, it is Brook's Underworld Fruit, Perona's Ghost Fruit...
Even the shadow fruit that Mod currently possesses is more or less related to the soul.
Coincidentally, the three Devil Fruits that are related to the soul are all on Mod's side.
Of course, what Mod wants is to explore the potential of the Shadow Fruit by studying the possibilities between the Shadow Fruit and the soul.
As for the usage of the zombie army before Moria...
