The first half of the New World and the Great Passage is not at all on the same level.

In the new world, there are countless people who have domineering spirits like carp crossing the river.

There, armed colors are a standard trick.

In comparison, those who know how to be domineering in the first half of the Great Passage can be counted on one hand.

That's the stark gap between the two.

Therefore, until all the members successfully master the domineering, Maude will not easily go to the new world.

At Maud's request, Jim and the others, who have not yet learned domineering, will be taught by Lafayette until they learn to be domineering.

Lafayette didn't reveal to the others what Maude was up to, but only strictly supervised their practice.

The days passed.

It's been three months since Maude shut down.

"Crunch—"

On this day, Maude, who had long hair, pushed open the door of the dissection room and walked out.

Cavendish followed Maud and also came out of the dissection room.

After three months, Cavendish's image and temperament have changed slightly.

The most conspicuous change is that his eyes have changed from blue to gold.

Other than that, the structure of the pupil and iris is the same.

"How long have we been in there?"

Maud was walking down the corridor when she suddenly asked.

During this time, he focused on developing the potential of the Shadow Fruit, but did not pay much attention to the passage of time.

Perhaps because of the wholehearted immersion, from the moment she opened the door of the dissecting room, Maude did not feel that much time had passed, but rather a feeling of being the next day.

"92 days."

Cavendish remembers it very well, by contrast.

"yes, it's been three months."

Maud sighed a little, looked back at Cavendish and said with a smile: "I've worked hard for you this time." ”

"Hmph, everyone has what they need, there's nothing hard to work for."

Cavendish subconsciously tilted his head, staggering Maud's gaze.

Maude smiled and retracted his gaze, looked at the end of the corridor covered by flickering candlelight in front of him, and said seriously: "Come with me to a place in a few days, and then you will be free." ”

"Huh? Where to? ”

Cavendis's golden eyes condensed slightly, and the mere word freedom made his heart surge.

"I'll tell you when I'm leaving."

“……”

Cavendish was speechless.

He hated Maude like this, and he could only accept it.

Never mind.

I'm about to be free anyway!

Cavendish thought silently, but couldn't help but feel excited.

With a huge increase in strength, he can't wait to go to the new world.

Maud and Cavendish crossed the long corridor and then parted at a corner.

The former has to go to the room to wash up, while the latter has to find the crew of the Handsome Pirates.

Maud returned to the room alone.

Didn't go to the bathroom for the first time, but came to the mirror.

Maud stared at herself in the mirror.

Three months of unkempt hair covered her eyebrows and ears, but Maude's attention was on her own black eyes.

"The color seems to have darkened, and it's ......"

Maude stared into her eyes.

Under the background of the pitch-black pupils, there is a faint white ring outside the iris.

The traces of the ring itself are very faint, and they blend into the whites of the eyes, so if you don't look closely, you really can't see it.

"This change...... Is it good or bad? ”

Maud muttered to herself.

The change in his eyes was the result of his evolution as he further mastered the Shadow Fruit's abilities.

Also changing, Cavendish is the Cavendish.

It's just that Cavendish has changed more dramatically, directly changing the color of his pupils.

And such a change seems to be a proof phenomenon after Maude plays with the soul.

"Huh."

Maude smiled suddenly, but she didn't worry too much, and went straight to the bathroom.

If only it could get better.

So, what is it to play with the soul?

After a brief wash, Maud summoned Shadow to help her get a haircut, and soon got a refreshing hairstyle.

Maud then changed into a brand new outfit.

"Are they all out there?"

Maud's eyes glowed red, and the wall looked in the direction of the castle.

Under the perception of seeing and hearing, there were several breaths moving on the flat ground not far from the castle.

Maude then came to the balcony and looked into the distance at his companions who were practicing domineering on the flat ground.

Flat ground.

When Maude looked over, both Lafayette and Jaya were aware.

They immediately looked at the balcony where Maud was.

When they saw Maude, Lafayette and Jaya's eyes moved slightly.

"Is it finally done?" Lafayette thought to herself.

"I don't know if Maud is hungry." Jaya thought to herself.

The reaction of the two did not attract Brooke's attention.

They hadn't yet mastered what they had seen and heard, and they hadn't noticed Maude's gaze from the castle.

Therefore, when Maud appeared out of thin air with the Shadow Flow Technique, he was stunned and startled Brooke.

"My heart almost jumped out of my heart, even though I don't have a heart, yo ho!"

Brooke looked at Maude who suddenly appeared in amazement, patting his sternum a little exaggeratedly, looking like he had palpitations.

"Maude, you've figured it out!"

"Captain."

Philo and Jim each stopped their practice and looked at Maude.

Perona, who was originally floating around in the air with Bailey, silently fell from mid-air, and then quietly hid behind Jaya.

She was a little scared of Maude.

Maud looked around at her companions, but did not leave Perona, who had hid behind Jaya.

Perona's move of floating in mid-air just now was seen by Maude.

That should be one of the properties of the Ghost Fruit, which makes the body lighter.

Based on this premise, if Perona can master the moon step, I don't know what the situation will be.

Such a thought flashed, and Maude shook her head with a smile.

"Lafayette, how are they doing?"

"Ho, Jim has preliminarily learned the armed color, and the physical strength of Philo and Brooke is not up to standard, and it will take at least three months or so to learn the armed color."

"Well, it's okay."

Maud looked at Philo and Brooke, who were a little embarrassed.

With their physical condition, if they can learn to arm the color within half a year, it is already a very good result.

Of course, this is also thanks to Jaya's food supplement support.

And Jim, who has long reached the standard of physical strength, can learn the armed color in three months, which can be regarded as a matter of course.

At this point in time, there is only about half a year left before the start of the war at the top, which should be enough for Brooke and them to successfully master the armed color.

As for the sight and hearing that requires talent as a foundation, it's hard to say.

"Guys, I'm going to go to the little garden, and if nothing else, I'll leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

It happened that everyone was there, and Maude also took the opportunity to announce the future itinerary.

"Little garden? What is that place? Brooke asked curiously.

"An ancient island."

"The Isle of the Primeval Island?"

Everyone's expressions moved slightly.

"Yo ho ho, I'm really looking forward to it!" Brooke's heart was pounding.

"You don't have to go, stay here and continue to practice."

"Ah?!!h
