Luo also looked at Blackbeard attentively.
Soon, half a minute passed, and Blackbeard was safe and sound. The legendary phenomenon of exploding to death after eating two Devil Fruits did not occur.
Seeing this result, Luo's heart was stirred up.
If the idea comes true, after he completely implements the chimera transformation surgery, wouldn't it be...
The more Luo thought about it, the more he couldn't calm down.
Being a person with multiple Devil Fruit abilities is a dream-like thing just thinking about it.
But now, there is a high probability that it will become a reality.
"Let's observe it for a while longer."
After the experimental results came out, to be on the safe side, Maude did not attack Blackbeard immediately, but continued to wait patiently.
Soon, half an hour passed, and there was still no change in Blackbeard's body.
After observing for almost forty minutes, Maude felt that it was almost done and looked at Luo.
"Okay, let's start with the next step."
"good."
Luo heard this and stuffed a second fruit into Blackbeard's heart membrane.
After watching Luo stuffing the second fruit into the film, Maud pulled out Qiushui and hung the sharp tip of the knife on Blackbeard's neck.
"I hope you can bring me enough surprises, Blackbeard."
Maud pointed the tip of the sword directly at Blackbeard's vitals, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Not only the dark fruit that is about to be obtained, but also the physical experience gain of Blackbeard.
"I wonder if we can successfully condense the tenth physical star frame..."
After Maud murmured something softly in her heart, her arms suddenly exerted their strength and pushed Qiushui down.
Poof!
The autumn water penetrated into Blackbeard's neck without any hindrance, and blood immediately spurted out.
Blackbeard, who was in a severe coma, didn't react at all even if he was stabbed to his vitals.
Maud looked down at Blackbeard, whose life was counting down.
After a while, the extremely ambitious man in front of him who turned the world upside down in the original work will completely retire from the stage of the sea.
"Do you want to be the king of the world... I'm so sorry."
Maud stared at Blackbeard's neck where blood was pouring out crazily, thinking silently in his heart.
Be it the King of the World or the Pirate King.
Maude had never thought about this.
What he wants is to stand at the top of the world, without any threats, to do what he wants to do, and to protect the dreams of his companions...
If he stood at the top of the world, he would be the King of the World or the Pirate King.
Then he wouldn't mind taking over these names.
Gradually, Blackbeard breathed his last breath quietly.
Maud slowly pulled out the Qiu Shui, flicked her wrist to clear the blood from the blade, and then sheathed the Qiu Shui.
Following a pleasant sound of the blade being sheathed, Maude closed her eyes and concentrated.
In the dark field of vision, a hunter's note emitting rich orange light was quickly revealed.
While Mod was carefully appreciating the gain in experience points fed back into his body, he paid close attention to the changes in the stars on the cover of the hunter's notebook.
However, the expected tenth physical star frame did not condense.
To be more precise, the experience value gain brought by Blackbeard only condenses one-fifth of the physical star frame, and there is still a gap of more than half of the star frame being fully condensed.
On the other hand, the benefits from other aspects were not as high as expected.
Although part of the overall income will be nullified by the diversion of sword skills, and Blackbeard did not eat the Dark Fruit for a long time, even the demon's demand for this ability will also divert part of the income.
But the result still disappointed Maud.
"After four nine-star events, this 'sense of stagnation' became even more apparent."
"Sure enough, the further you get to the later stages, the harder it is to improve..."
"However, the abnormal increase in difficulty just shows the strength of nine and a half stars."
"And physical monsters like Charlotte Lingling and Kaido Kaido must be at the level of nine and a half stars or higher."
Maud thought to herself.
When Mod checked the experience gain, as Blackbeard's heart stopped beating, the demon soul residing in it left. As expected, it attached to the fruit in the film, and slowly turned into dark fruit and sticky fruit. Sticky fruit.
Luo first watched the Devil Fruit take shape, then glanced at Mod, who was motionless, then took out the Devil Fruit and placed it on the table next to him.
A few seconds later.
Maud opened her eyes, looked at the Dark Fruit and Sticky Fruit on the table, and couldn't help but smile.
After putting the Dark Devil Fruit in his bag, not counting the Poison Fruit and Pachycephalosaurus Fruit that were "to be picked up" in Xiliu and Runti's bodies, Mod now held a total of sixteen Devil Fruits in his hand.
Among these Devil Fruits, there are many Devil Fruits with extremely high upper limits, such as the Shock Fruit, the Sound Fruit, the Mammoth Fruit, the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit, and the Childlike Fruit.
If word spread that Mod was holding sixteen Devil Fruits, it would be hard to imagine how the whole world would react to him.
However, it is really difficult to consume so many Devil Fruits in a short period of time.
Unless Luo's chimerism surgery can be implemented...
After that, find a random experimental subject, and then replicate the experiment performed on Blackbeard to ensure safety and stability.
Once everything is confirmed, the main players in the team can eat another Devil Fruit.
In this case, the inventory is expected to bottom out soon.
But these are things for the future.
Maude shook her head slightly and stopped thinking about it.
"Luo, as for the body repair work, you can do it after you have rested. There is no need to finish it today."
Maud looked at the corpses of Blackbeard and Jack and said, "Maybe hand over this job to Arthur. His previous profession was an undertaker. He should be very good at repairing corpses and so on."
"knew."
Luo nodded in agreement.
Maude said softly: "That's about it, you go and rest first."
"good."
Luo didn't show any pretense and turned around to leave. Before leaving, he did not forget to take away the bodies of Blackbeard and Jack.
Maude watched Law leave the room.
Until a suitable shadow is found, corpses of Blackbeard's and Jack's level can only be placed in the freezer to eat ashes.
"Next... I'll be busy too."
Maude walked towards the balcony, jumped up, and landed in front of the hall on the first floor of the castle.
The moment he landed, several eyes focused on his back.
It was the gazes of Aokiji and the others in the hall.
Mod turned around slowly and faced the gazes of Qing Zhi and others. He immediately saw Shiliu, who was forced into a corner by some big guys and looked a little embarrassed.
"From today on, Xiliu is considered a trainee crew member in our regiment."
"this… "
Everyone was slightly stunned.
Trainee crew member?
Xiliu was a little helpless, but at least he had an identity that would not be targeted.
"Also, if you think Shiliu is not performing well, come and tell me, and I will kill him immediately... well, kick him."
“…”
Shiliu's cheek flesh trembled slightly.
The place suddenly became eerily quiet.
... ... ... ... ..
Chapter 223 The old times gather together
Let someone like Xi Liu join the team...
Even a trainee crew member is too messy.
Everyone looked at Maude, and the expression on their faces changed slightly.
Even Xia Qi, who was outside the team, felt that Mod's decision was a bit hasty.
This made her think back to the pirate group she had been with before, and the captain who once awed her.
For any strong person who wants to join the pirate group, the captain has always accepted them.
Although this approach can quickly increase the size of the team, it also creates hidden dangers.
This is also true.
When the team was on the verge of destruction, it was not so much that it fell into the hands of the enemy, but rather that it fell into the hands of its own people.
After realizing that Maude's decision was inappropriate, Xia Qi did not warn him.
Strictly speaking, she is an outsider.
Even if you are not an outsider, you cannot interfere in the affairs of other pirate groups at will.
Lafayette and Jaya also felt that it was inappropriate, but they could only acquiesce in Maude's approach.
As the first people to follow Maud, they knew that once Maud made a decision, no one else could change it.
As crew members, their responsibility is to support the captain's decision while spending more thought and energy to eliminate the possible negative impacts of each decision.
As for Qing Pheasant, compared to Lafayette and Jia Ya, who were worried, he was relatively calm.
Because the stronger the person is, the most important thing he lacks is self-confidence, and naturally he has less worries.
The most typical one among them is undoubtedly Hyundai Kaido.
After Maud threatened Shiliu in a moderate way, he suddenly thought of something.
"Xiliu, I have something to do with you."
"What's up?"
Shiliu took advantage of the situation and walked towards Mod, in order to get rid of the encircling formation of Aokiji and the others.
But after taking a few steps, Xiliu realized something and immediately stopped and took a quick look at the sunlight covering her feet.
His shadow is still in Maud's hand, and if it is hit by sunlight, it will turn to ashes like a vampire.
Mod noticed Shiliu's little move of being forced to avoid the sun, but didn't pay much attention to it.
It was impossible for him to return the shadow and heart to Shiliu in a short period of time.
Looking at Shiliu, Mod did not tell the content directly, but asked: "You were originally the warden of Impel Down City. You should be familiar with prisons, right?"
"Yes."
Shiliu nodded.
"That's good, I plan to build a prison on the ship..." Maude immediately agreed: "Then, this task will be left to you."
"no problem."
Xiliu was surprised, but accepted the task without hesitation.
He is very aware of his current situation of walking on thin ice, and he knows even better what he should and should not do in this team.
Only by showing value and loyalty as quickly as possible can one be truly accepted by Maud.
