Turn prisoners into a sizable force.

From the standpoint of the Navy, there will never be such a dangerous thought.

The reason is simple.

Even if a slave collar is equipped, it cannot eliminate the instability that comes with the prisoners.

Therefore, even if the navy lacks combat power, it will not rashly put a combat force full of unstable factors on the battlefield.

Moreover, cannon fodder is meaningless in a war at that level.

The pigtailed girl looked at Maude suspiciously, not knowing where the other party's confidence came from.

And after listening to what Maude said, Tsuru immediately thought of Maude's Shadow Fruit ability.

With the lessons of the deceased Moonlight Moria, a lot of information emerges.

First, use the shadow of the prisoner to quickly create a zombie army that is not afraid of death or pain.

Second, use the shadow of the prisoner to increase the individual strength of the team.

"Is the Shadow Fruit capable ......?"

Crane looked at Maude and said slowly, "According to you, you plan to use the shadows of the prisoners to increase your combat power in disguise?"

"That's right."

Maud nodded, his expression calm.

After all, he is a naval staff officer, and he can guess his plans in a short time with a small amount of information.

Crane stared at Maude's eyes and said lightly: "But as far as I know, if you just borrow the shadows of the prisoners, you shouldn't need such a thing as intelligence." ”

Her words seemed to have a sharp meaning.

Maude said quietly: "That's because you don't understand the abilities of the Shadow Fruit, as a layman, there are some things that don't rush to conclusions." ”

Listening to Maude's slightly sharp words, Tsuru didn't react, but the braided woman's face changed slightly, and she was about to attack when she took a step forward.

Tsuru noticed the movement of the pigtailed woman and raised his hand to make a stop gesture.

The pigtailed woman saw the crane's gesture and silently shrank back.

Tsuru then looked at Maude and repeated the opening remarks he had made when he had come to the intelligence department.

"I want to hear about it."

"If the shadow I took away wants to be officially put into use, you have to sign a contract with the shadow first, and the so-called contract is to retain only part of the shadow's memory and subjective consciousness."

"And if you want to give full play to the value of the shadow's combat power, the best way is to retain the shadow's ability, memory and experience in a targeted manner."

Maud is well aware of Tsuru's right to speak in the Navy, so as long as Vice Admiral Tsuru has any intentions, the Navy will most likely accept the options he offers.

For this reason, some key information needs to be clarified.

Maud looked at the crane with a calm face and continued to explain: "But usually, due to my lack of corresponding information, I can't keep the memory and experience of the shadow ability I want to keep, which will lead to the unsatisfactory value of the shadow, which is why I need information." ”

Listening to Maude's explanation, Tsuru pinched his chin thoughtfully.

She was thinking about the value of the prisoner's shadow.

Maud looked at the crane with a calm heart.

He took the initiative to reveal some of the detailed explanations of his abilities, but in fact, he used most of the truth to hide his ultimate motives and needs.

The prisoner's intelligence can indeed be used to increase the Shadow's combat power.

But using it to increase the income of the Hunter's Note is Maude's real purpose.

There's no way Tsuru knew he had such a thing as a hunter's note, and naturally he couldn't have gotten insight into his true intentions.

After a moment, Tsuru lowered his hand, looked at Maude, and praised it heartily, "What a good ability." ”

"It depends on who uses it."

Maude smiled.

Tsuru nodded approvingly.

It was precisely because Maud brought the Shadow Fruit ability to her that a thought suddenly flashed through her - if only the Shadow Fruit were in the hands of the Navy.

This is something that Moonlight Moria, who has been in power, cannot do.

Tsuru looked at Maude and said lightly: "Your proposal is very valuable, but the Navy does not need you to do it to this extent for the time being." ”

The implication is that there is no shortage of this combat power transformed by prisoners.

"For the time being......"

Maude smiled, not in a hurry.

In his opinion, if he was just facing the Whitebeard Pirates, the navy really couldn't make it happen to let him go to Impel Prison to mess around in order to increase his combat power.

In its own right, Impel Prison is an important place that pirates will never be allowed to approach.

Not to mention him as the Seven Martial Seas.

However, if you add the threat posed by the Golden Lion and the strength of the Grand Fleet under the command of the Golden Lion, under the pressure of combat power, the navy can't be brainless, right?

In the original idea, in order to create more pressure on the naval side, Maud even thought of sending Luo to help Whitebeard perform an organ replacement operation to solve Whitebeard's injury problem.

In that way, Whitebeard should be able to exert more combat power.

But considering that the ultimate goal was to take the head of the whitebeard, the idea was abandoned.

"The choice is yours, but ......"

Maude glanced at the pigtailed woman and said with a smile, "I still suggest that you prepare the information in advance so as not to be in a hurry." ”

With that, Maude simply turned around and walked towards the gate.

The pigtailed woman looked at Maude's departing back, frowned, and said, "What does he mean by that...... Are you questioning the capabilities of our intelligence services?"

“……”

Tsuru glanced at the pigtailed woman, thinking that Maude's words were obviously not meant by that.

"It's getting worse and worse."

The crane turned to silently look at Maude's back.

Use the Prisoner's Shadow to increase your team's power.

The offer was so tempting that it was like bringing a glass of water to a traveler in the middle of the desert.

…………

Encountering a crane in the intelligence department was something Maud didn't expect.

Originally, Maude had planned to mention this in the Seven Martial Seas Conference.

But I didn't expect to warm up at the crane in advance.

"You won't refuse."

In the end, Maude is at least 90% sure that the Navy will accept the proposal to use the prisoner's shadow to increase its combat power.

As for whether to use the shadow to create a zombie army in the end, or use the shadow to increase the individual strength of the navy.

For Maude, it doesn't really make a difference.

Because

Through the medium of shadows, whether it is zombies or the navy stuffed with shadows, they have actually established a connection with Maud.

In other words, the experience gains from their hands will be directly credited to Maude.

However, if given a choice, Maud would choose to create a zombie army.

In that case, Maud would directly cleanse half of the pirates in Imper's prison on the grounds that "fresh corpses are needed", so as to get a lot of profits without much effort.

Anyway, in order to get the most out of this top battle.

Maud was mentally prepared to exhaust the blank pages of the hunter's notes.

Thinking so, in the end, it is still necessary to leave a few pages for those top powerhouses.

After leaving the Navy Headquarters, Maud asked Fujitora out to go to the town for a drink.

Meanwhile.

The warship carrying three pacifists came to the Chambord Islands.
