A second ago, he had clearly been sent flying hundreds of meters, yet the next second, he instantly returned to his original position as if nothing had happened.
The phenomenon resembled time reversal, and while the onlookers were amazed, they could not help feeling a chill run down their spines.
An ability like this was simply impossible to guard against.
Outsiders knew nothing about the details of Maud's ability, but Cavendish and Jaya knew that Maud was a Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability user.
Too strong!
Cavendish's exclamation came from the bottom of his heart. It was not because Maud had cut Brogy down in a single stroke.
Rather, he was marveling at Maud's use of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit.
"While exchanging positions with his shadow, he also completely dispelled the impact inflicted on his real body. Is that really something the Shadow-Shadow Fruit can do?"
"But the most crucial part is still his marvelous grasp of timing. It was precisely because he managed that that he was able to bring out the full value of this 'little trick'...!"
Cavendish bit down on his thumb.
He had yet to master Observation Haki.
But as an onlooker, he had still seen through the battle plan Maud had laid out in the brief span of a second.
This made his blood surge with excitement, and he wished he could take Maud's place.
At the same time,
Cavendish, who had never been particularly interested in Devil Fruits, began to develop a slight interest in them.
Inside the battlefield.
After cutting Brogy down with a single stroke, Maud did not press his advantage. Instead, he stepped on the air and stopped his body in midair.
He did not want the battle to end so quickly.
Rather, he wanted to squeeze more combat experience out of Brogy.
