Perona's appearance gave the handsome pirates a heavy blow.

It's all gone.

This word, for a pirate group, is so heavy and miserable.

Fortunately, it was only a small fight.

Despite this, everyone in the handsome pirates, including Cavendish rejoiced, but inevitably feared.

Later, the Hakuba came to the edge of the coastline and anchored.

A gangway stood on the shore, and everyone disembarked one after another.

"Jim, Philo."

"Captain."

Jim nodded at Maude, and Philo yawned incessantly, drowsiness.

During the time she stayed at home, she was a model worker, studying all kinds of poisonous plants on the terrifying three-masted ship day and night.

After studying the plants clearly, he still did not sit idle, and extended his claws to the corpses stored in the freezer.

Maud glanced at the drowsy Philo and could probably guess why.

Without Jaya's food supplement as logistical support, if Filo is allowed to continue like this, he may really die suddenly one day.

Whether it's a further study of career skills or rigorous training for greater strength, Jaya's food supplement can greatly improve efficiency and progress.

Maude wanted Rajaya to get on the ship because of this consideration.

The crowd did not linger long on the shore, passing through forests, cemeteries, ruins, etc., to the castle in the middle of the island ship.

"It's such an uncomfortable place."

Cavendish muttered to himself.

Along the way, the pervasive fog, the desolate and gloomy cemetery, and the chill that irritates the skin at all times and everywhere give Cavendish a rather bad look.

There is no doubt that the environment of the terrifying three-masted ship is extremely incompatible with his radiant physique.

With this in mind, he was taken to a room by Maud directly after arriving at the castle.

"Here it is...... Dissection room! ”

Cavendish stared at the chilling instruments on the stone brick walls, and the blackened bloodstained operating table in the center of the room.

"In other words, the thing you want me to cooperate with is...... Dissect my body!? ”

Cavendish stared at Maud with an angry squint, and his right hand climbed up to the hilt.

It's no wonder that Maud had previously uttered something that was easily distorted about the body.

If you really want to be dissected......

Anyway, it's better to die left and right, than to die in the battle with Maude.

Qiang ——!

Maud didn't care about Cavendish's overreaction, but slowly pulled out the hodor.

His gesture of drawing the knife allowed Cavendish to further confirm his own speculation.

Immediately, Cavendish took a deep breath, mentally prepared for a heroic sacrifice.

But Maude's words left Cavendish stunned

"Cavendish lend your shadow to use."

"What do you mean?"

Cavendish didn't know why.

As soon as the words came out, Maude suddenly disappeared from his field of vision.

"Huh?"

Cavendish's eyes shrank sharply, and he subconsciously pulled out the famous sword Durandel.

however

Maud had come behind him and cut his shadow away.

If it was really a battle, at that moment just now, he was already in a different place.

Cavendish was a beat slower to react, and turned around.

Having discerned the situation for a moment, he gritted his teeth and looked at Maude, who was holding his shadow, and once again felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

This desperate disparity......

With talent, time, and effort.

Can you catch up?

Cavendish slowly lowered his sword-wielding arm.

He had never worked hard, and for the first time, he had the idea of training hard to become stronger.

Even if you can't catch up with Maude, at least, don't be as weak as you are now.

This seemingly inconsequential episode actually gave birth to Cavendish's enlightenment.

Maud looked at Cavendish who was in a state of flux, and whispered to himself: "The shadow was cut away but he didn't fall into a coma on the spot, sure enough...... The value of the experiment is very unusual. ”

With that, Maude looked at the shadow in his hand.

The dark shadow was grinning and struggling frantically in silence.

The fury of the shadow is closer to Cavendis's personality, and it gives Maude's original vision a foothold.

This is also the reason why Cavendish was cut away from the shadow but did not immediately fall unconscious.

From this, one of the most basic concepts can be derived.

That is, under the premise that personality equals soul, Cavendish has two souls in his body.

And this stark expressiveness is fundamentally different from Philo's more suggestive personality switching.

As long as you can make good use of the experimental value of Cavendish, you may be able to take the upper limit of the Shadow Fruit to a new level.

Maude thought.

"Experimental value?"

Cavendish heard Maude's muttering, and he couldn't help but tremble again when he had just made a false alarm.

It turned out that the man in front of him wanted to use him to do some kind of experiment.

No, more accurately, taking his shadow......

"Bang."

Just then, Jim pushed open the door to the dissection room and walked in.

He brought with him a zombie that Maud needed for his experiments.

"Just put it there."

Maud pointed to the messy operating table.

Jim nodded silently, placed the zombie on the operating table, and then turned to leave the dissection room to continue his daily high-intensity workout.

During the time when Maud and the others went to the Chambord Islands, Jim was not idle while supervising Perona's body training, and spent almost all of his free time exercising, which can be described as very hard.

Now, Jaya is back.

That means he can squeeze in at least a third more time a day to exercise.

After Jim leaves, Maud walks over to the operating table and looks down at the zombies on the operating table.

This zombie carries an old long knife at its waist, and is obviously a swordsman when he was alive, but the preservation and strength of his body are average, and even his head is almost bald, leaving only a small amount of hair.

Cavendish silently sheathed Durandal and then looked at Maud standing in front of the operating table in silence.

Even though he knew that Maud was going to use his shadow for some kind of experiment, he still couldn't figure out Maude's true purpose.

Naturally, Maud couldn't explain anything to Cavendish either.

Looking at the shadow in his hand that was struggling meaninglessly, Maud skipped the step of signing the contract and directly stuffed Cavendish shadow into the swordsman zombie on the operating table.

Cavendish looked at this scene and was secretly frightened.

Maud calmly looked at the zombies stuffed into the shadows, waiting for the results.

After a moment, the swordsman zombie suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, the mouth opened angrily, breaking the lines sewn around his lips one by one.

Swish!

The swordsman zombie stood up suddenly, and pulled out the old broken knife at his waist with extremely skillful movements.

At the same time, the swordsman zombie's almost bald little hair fluttered like seaweed, but it was a bit funny.

"It's ......"

The posture of the swordsman zombie made Cavendish understand everything in an instant.

Although he has never actually seen the Li personality, he can see the image of the Li personality when the body is dominated by the Li personality through newspapers or some video materials.

Under this cognition, whether it is the wild blood basin mouth, or the small amount of hair that has to dance even if there is not much left.

Undoubtedly telling Cavendish the answer.

The swordsman zombie exuded a furious aura, and he, full of desire to destroy, turned his neck and looked at Maude, who was closest to him.

Then, the swordsman zombie is really stiff.

Bang Dang——!

The broken knife in his hand fell to the ground.

The furious aura that frightened ordinary people came and went quickly.

At the same time, the small amount of hair that had been dancing on the head for less than two seconds immediately disappeared like a frosted eggplant.

Looking at the swordsman zombie's reaction with such a stark contrast before and after, Cavendish was stunned.

I had only heard from the crew how Rommel's scythe was frightened by Maud.

Now, he, Cavendis, had seen it with his own eyes.

It's just that instead of being disappointed, he has a feeling of sympathy.

Alas.

He sighed deeply in his heart.

Weakness is the root of incompetence......
