Chapter 272: Dance with the corpse

Chapter 272 Dancing with the Corpse
Eating the shadow fruit directly was not a whim for Morde.
Before that, he had seriously considered it, and he also recognized the potential upper limit of Shadow Fruit.
The fundamental reason that prompted him to make this decision was still the big wave a year later.
Hunting is not the only way to improve overall strength in the short term.
The battle between life and death, or Devil Fruit, can also do this.
In order to gain a foothold on the battlefield full of strong men, eating Devil Fruit is one of Maude's higher priority options at this stage.
Strictly speaking, there is not much time left for Maude.
The shadow fruit is almost the devil fruit with a good upper limit that Maude can get the fastest.
If circumstances permit, what Maude wants more is the shocking fruit of White Beard.
However, that kind of thing is very unrealistic.
Maude frowned and swallowed the flesh that had rolled in his mouth twice.
It's an indescribable taste.
As soon as he entered the mouth, he had an urge to vomit.
On the side, Luo and Lafayette, both capable people, looked at Mod's rare bitter face, lowered their eyes tacitly, and concealed the meaning of making fun.
Maude did not notice the reaction of the two of them, lowered his head and silently looked at the shadow fruit in his hand that had been bitten by him.
Devil fruit can gain power with just one bite.
just……
In the almost vague memory of the past, I vaguely remember that someone was always talking about something.
That is, you have to eat the entire devil fruit to gain 100% strength.
This kind of thing, Maude laughed at first.
But now...
Maude hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth and took another big bite of the pulp, enduring the nausea, and swallowed the pulp directly.
Lafayette and Luo looked at Maude's actions in amazement, and they were hesitant to speak.
Maude ate up the shadow fruit in two bites, and his frowning brow eased slightly.
After eating a few more bites, it was actually fine.
Maude thought.
Later, he noticed the strange eyes of Lafayette and Luo.
"I don't want to waste such a precious thing."
Maude second understood the reason for that strange gaze, and just casually explained it.
Luo expressed suspicion. In his eyes, Maude was already a master of Devil Fruit theory that he could look up to.
There must be a reason for eating up the whole Devil Fruit deliberately, right?
So, what is the motivation?
Once Luo's thoughts dispersed, he couldn't get it back.
Lafayette raised his hand and pressed the brim of his hat, found a step for Maude, and said with a smile: "Ouch, precious things really can't be wasted. Now that the fruit has been eaten, let's get started."
"Business?"
Luo recovered, and raised his brow slightly.
Maude smiled, unlike Luo's half-knowledge, he knew exactly what the so-called "business" was.
"It's okay, did you bring the camera with you?"
Maude tilted his head to look at Moriah's body, a trace of indifference flashed in his eyes.
"Of course." Lafayette pulled a camera out of his pocket.
"Then let's start."
Maude closed his eyes, leaving his mind in a stable and tranquil state, and then used this mental state to feel the changes brought about by the body after eating the shadow fruit.
Throbbing?
No, it was more like a faint heartbeat that was familiar and strange.
The presence of the heartbeat sound is extremely weak, and if you don't concentrate on paying attention, it seems to disappear without a trace in the next second.
It seems that it is the movement created by the spiritual level.
Maude tried to touch this simulated heartbeat.
The spirit is entangled with the heartbeat like tentacles, and there are some inexplicable things that seem to be innate, and they just come to mind.
Some instincts that exist in genes.
No need for others to teach, and no need for external factors.
Maude opened his eyes slowly, his thought moved, and the shadow covering the floor behind him pulsed upward like a liquid, gradually transforming into a three-dimensional humanoid shadow with a facial contour similar to his own.
"Ah……"
Looking at the shadow avatar that is the same as his own hands and feet, Maude twitched his mouth and controlled the shadow avatar to the corpse of Moria.
Under Maude's control, the shadow clone directly erected Moria's body.
All tangible substances that exist objectively will basically produce shadows under the premise of being illuminated by a light source.
The corpse is no exception.
The light source in the room shone on Moriah's body, pulling a shadow on the floor behind him.
Maude narrowed his eyes slightly, letting the shadow clone merge into the shadow reflected by Moria's corpse.
Without the support of the shadow clone, Moria's corpse fell backward, banging, and fell heavily to the floor.
Maude consciously controls the shadow, wanting to manipulate Moria's corpse through his own shadow.
However, Moriah's body was lying motionless on the ground.
The instructions sent by Maude were as stone sinking as the sea, and there was no response at all.
"It is theoretically feasible."
Maude did not give up, and continued to try to control the operation of Moria's body with the shadow.
After all, I have just eaten the shadow fruit, and my proficiency is not high. It is normal to fail.
Lafayette and Rome watched silently, and did not say anything to influence Maude.
After Maude tried, after a few minutes, Moria's body flicked slightly, and finally gave feedback.
Immediately afterwards, while Maude kept transmitting instructions, Moria's body slowly straightened his upper body, and then stood awkwardly.
It was 10% at the beginning, and then it was much easier.
"Successful."
Maude smiled slightly, like a child who had just gotten a new toy. He didn't stop trying, but through the shadow, he further manipulated Moria's facial features.
Under his control, Molia's stiff face gradually revealed a hideous look.
The only shortcoming is that the eyes are absent.
Maude realized a little bit, and the hideous look on Moriah's face gradually turned into a daze, and it seemed that he was a little bit unbelievable.
After doing this, Maude pulled out Qiushui and used his eyes to signal that Lafayette could take a picture.
Lafayette knew, raised the camera and pointed it at Moria's body.
Maude then pierced Moria's heart with a knife.
"Crack!"
Lafayette pressed the shutter at the right time and took pictures of Maude's assassination of Moria's body.
Maude retracted Qiushui, shook off the blood on the knife, and then slowly returned to its sheath.
When the photos are washed out, Maud will send them directly to my dear Turkey Dada.
With his help, it will be much easier to build momentum.
When things spread, the world government should not sit still.
It is one thing to find a new candidate for Qiwuhai as soon as possible, and it is one thing to smooth his face.
And at that time, it is undoubtedly a thing that the world government likes to hear and see that the people who kill Qiwuhai will replace Qiwuhai.
Luo is not stupid. After watching the operations of Maude and Lafayette, he immediately understood their motives.
"The Position of Seven Wuhai..."
Luo whispered to himself in his heart.
Now he can be said to have put most of the possibilities on Maude.
Will it win or lose?
He is not sure.
Maude is bound to win the position of Qiwuhai.
However, he was not in a hurry until the results came out.
There is one thing that makes him more concerned now.
Maude calmly looked at Moria's body with a blood hole in his chest.
The moment he ate the devil's fruit, it meant that he didn't care at all to be afraid of the weakness of the sea and the sea floor stone.
However, he has to verify one thing.
Once the person who has lost the shadow is exposed to sunlight, his body will be wiped out.
Does this feature also target the capable person himself?
If so, it will affect the diversification of shadow fruits.
