HxH in One Piece World

Eating the shadow fruit directly is not a whim of Maud.

Before that, he had seriously considered and also recognized the potential upper limit of the shadow fruit.

The fundamental reason that prompted him to make this decision is still the big wave a year later.

Hunting is not the only way to improve comprehensive strength in the short term.

The battle between life and death, or devil fruit, can do the same.

In order to gain a firm foothold on the battlefield lined with powerhouses, eating Devil Fruit is one of Modder's higher priority choices at this stage.

Strictly speaking, there is not much time left for Maud.

The shadow fruit is almost the devil fruit with a good upper limit that Maud can get the fastest.

If the situation allows, what Maud wants more is actually Whitebeard's shaking fruit.

However, that kind of thing is very unrealistic.

Maud frowned and swallowed the pulp that had rolled twice in his mouth with difficulty.

What an indescribable taste.

As soon as he entered it, he had the urge to vomit.

On the side, Luo and Lafayette, who are also capable people, looked at Maud's rare bitter melon face, and lowered their eyes quite tacitly to hide their mockery.

Maud did not notice the reaction of the two of them, and looked down silently at the shadow fruit he had bitten in his hand.

Devil fruit is something that you can get power with just one bite.

only……

In the vague memory of the past, I vaguely remember that there was always someone chattering about something.

That is, you have to eat the whole devil fruit to gain 100% strength.

Maud laughed at this kind of thing at first.

But now...

Maud hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth and took another big bite of the pulp, endured nausea, and swallowed the pulp directly.

Lafayette and Luo looked at Maud's move in amazement, with a look of hesitating to speak.

Maud ate all the shadow fruits in two bites, and his frowning brows eased slightly.

After a few more bites, it's actually fine.

Maud thought to himself.

Then, he noticed the strange eyes of Lafayette and Luo.

"I don't want to waste something so precious."

Maud understood the reason for the strange gaze in seconds, and explained it casually.

Luo expressed doubts, in his eyes, Maud is already a master of Devil Fruit theory enough to make him look up.

There must be a reason for deliberately eating the whole devil fruit, right?

So what is the motivation?

Once Luo's thoughts diverged, some of them couldn't be taken back.

Lafayette raised his hand and pressed the brim of his hat, found a step for Maud to go down, and said with a smile: "Hoho, precious things really can't be wasted. Now that the fruit has been eaten, let's get down to business."

"What's the matter?"

Luo came back to his senses and raised his brows slightly.

Maud smiled. Unlike Luo's half-understood, he knew very well what the so-called "business" was.

"Alright, do you have the camera with you?"

Maud tilted his head to look at Moria's corpse, and there was a hint of indifference in his eyes.

"Of course." Lafayette pulled a camera out of his pocket.

"Then let's begin."

Maud closed his eyes and kept his mind in a stable and peaceful state, and then used this state of mind to carefully feel the changes brought about by his body after eating the shadow fruit.

Throbbing?

No, it's more like a faint heartbeat that is somewhat familiar and somewhat unfamiliar in the body.

The presence of the heartbeat is extremely weak, and if you don't concentrate on it, it seems that it will disappear without a trace in the next second.

It seems that it is a movement simulated by the spiritual level.

Maud tried to touch the simulated heartbeat.

The spirit is intertwined with the heartbeat like tentacles, and there are some things that are unclear, but seem to be innate, and just like this emerges in my mind.

Some instincts that exist in the genes.

There is no need for others to teach, and there is no need for external factors to intervene.

Maud slowly opened his eyes, and with a thought, the shadow covering the floor behind him stirred upward like a liquid, and gradually transformed into a three-dimensional humanoid shadow with a facial outline that was five or six similar to himself.

"Ah……"

Looking at the shadow clone that was no different from his own hands and feet, Maud hooked the corner of his mouth and controlled the shadow clone to come to Moria's corpse.

Under the control of Maud, the shadow clone erected Moria's body directly.

As long as all tangible substances that exist objectively, under the premise of being illuminated by a light source, will basically produce shadows.

Corpses are no exception.

The light source in the room shone on Moriah, pulling a shadow on the floor behind him.

Maud's eyes narrowed slightly, allowing the shadow clone to merge into the shadow reflected by Moria's corpse.

Without the support of the shadow clone, Moria's body fell backwards, banging, and slammed onto the floor.

Maud consciously controlled the shadow, and wanted to use his shadow to control Moria's corpse.

However, Moriah's body lay motionless on the ground.

The command sent by Maud was like a rock sinking into the sea, and there was no response at all.

"It's theoretically possible."

Maud did not give up, and continued to try to use the shadow to control the operation of Moriah's corpse.

After all, you just ate the shadow fruit, your proficiency is not high, and it is normal to fail.

Lafayette and Luo silently watched, not making a sound to influence Maud.

Under Maud's attempt, after a few minutes, Moria's body moved slightly, and finally gave feedback.

Immediately afterwards, under the condition that Maud kept transmitting instructions, Moria's corpse slowly straightened its upper body, and then stood up awkwardly.

Once you start, it's a lot easier after that.

"Success."

Maud smiled slightly, like a child who just got a new toy. He didn't stop trying, but used the shadow to further control Moria's facial features.

Under his control, Moria's stiff face gradually revealed a hideous look.

The only downside is the lack of vision.

Maud realized something, and the hideous expression on Moria's face gradually turned into a stunned look, and it looked a little unbelievable.

After doing this, Maud pulled out the autumn water and signaled with his eyes that Lafayette could take pictures.

Lafayette understood, raised the camera, and aimed the lens at Moriah's body.

Maud then stabbed Moriah in the heart.

"Crack!"

Lafayette pressed the shutter just in time to take a picture of Maud stabbing Moriah's body.

Maud took back Qiushui, got rid of the blood on the knife, and then slowly returned to the sheath.

When the photo is developed, Maude will send it directly to Dear Turkey Dada.

With his help, building momentum will be much easier.

When the news spreads, the world government should not be able to sit still.

It's one thing to find a new Qiwuhai candidate as soon as possible, but it's another thing to smoothen your face.

And at that moment, the one who killed Qiwuhai replaced Qiwuhai's position is undoubtedly a favorite thing for the world government.

Luo is not stupid. After watching the operations of Maud and Lafayette, he immediately understood their motives.

"The position of the Seven Martial Seas..."

Luo whispered to himself in his heart.

Now he can be said to have put most of the possibilities on Maud.

Will you win or lose?

He was unsure.

Maud is bound to win the position of Qiwuhai.

However, he was not in a hurry until the results came out.

There was one thing that made him more concerned now.

Maud calmly looked at Moria's corpse with a blood hole in his chest.

From the moment he ate the Devil Fruit, it meant that he didn't care about the weakness of being afraid of sea water and sea towers.

It's just that he has to verify one thing.

People who have lost their shadows, once they are exposed to sunlight, their bodies will be ashes.

Will this feature also target the capable person himself?

If so, it will affect the diversification of Shadow Fruits.
