Cavendish's Special Nature

"Brush..."

Immediately, both Moke and Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk's gazes fell once again on Cavendish, who was not far away.

"Um?"

Cavendish became even more nervous.

But immediately, his heart leaped into his throat. As Moke and Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk walked toward him together.

"This is troublesome..."

He wasn't stupid; these two important figures walking towards him together definitely meant they had their eyes on him.

In that instant, he went through everything he had done in the past ten years, but he still couldn't figure out what he had done to offend these two people.

His brows furrowed into a deep frown.

However, he did not choose to flee. He even loosened his grip on the sword hilt.

Because when the two men approached, he could tell from their expressions that they didn't seem to be there to cause him trouble.

This relieved him.

When Moke and Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk approached Cavendish, they exchanged a glance.

Then they spoke one after the other.

Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk: "Cavendish? I'm going to establish a faction and invite you to join."

After saying that, he added, "As fellow swordsmen, I believe I can offer you the greatest assistance in the way of the sword."

Cavendish's pupils contracted sharply upon hearing this.

Who is Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk?

That's the undisputed World's Greatest Swordsman!

To be honest, as Swordmaster, it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted at all.

Then, at that moment, Moke said, "I invite you to join my pirate crew. You should know the strength of my crew. Also, I am a Great Swordsman, and I can give you pointers as well."

Most importantly, it..

As he spoke, he handed the Devil Fruit he had just created to Cavendish.

"This is?"

Cavendish looked on in surprise.

Moke: "John's power... I've turned him back into Devil Fruit. Eat it, and you'll have John's power!"

"What?"

Cavendish in surprise; John's abilities had already been demonstrated during his fight with Moke.

With him!

Cavendish believed that his abilities would immediately rise to a higher level.

Moke then added, "This is Paramecia ability, but I don't know exactly what it is. However, he can deflect injuries from his own body. Perhaps he can also deflect that thing inside you."

Upon hearing this last sentence, Cavendish's expression instantly changed.

Dissociative identity disorder, murderous sleepwalking.

This has always been a source of anxiety for him, and it has troubled him for a very long time.

"Really?" Cavendish, looking surprised.

Moke wasn't lying to him, stating frankly, "Whether you can or not isn't up to me. It depends on how you develop it after you eat the Devil Fruit. After all, Devil Fruit are a very special thing. Especially Paramecia; the same fruit can lead to different techniques depending on who uses it."

Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk's eye twitched involuntarily; seeing Cavendish's expression, he understood.

He has no chance.

However, he is a person who can take things in stride.

What's agreed upon must be kept.

So, he turned and walked back the way he came. However, after taking only a few steps, he stopped again. "Looking forward to seeing you again."

Moke laughed, "Then it's a deal. Next time we meet, we'll have a proper competition."

Upon hearing this, Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk rarely showed a smile, "Okay, it's settled then."

At the same time, Cavendish, with trembling hands, took the Devil Fruit that Moke offered him. After hesitating for a moment, he ate it.

Not long after!

Cavendish opened his eyes slightly, a hint of surprise in them.

Perhaps it's because for many years, I've been fighting against my second personality, thinking Tenten that one day I can control it, or even destroy it.

Surprisingly, the moment they ate the Devil Fruit, they developed a special technique.

Just like how John ate the Devil Fruit and instantly developed a technique to flick away the wrinkles on his face.

The same goes for the Slip-Slip Fruit.

Cavendish's first move was to repel consciousness. So, he directly repelled the consciousness of the second personality. However, the second personality did not completely disappear.

No!

Or rather, the second personality is a second soul that separated from Cavendish's main soul, and possesses its own independent consciousness.

Now, consciousness is gone, but the second soul still exists.

This made Cavendish a special case. He had a feeling that he could eat another Devil Fruit.

This feeling is very peculiar.

"What's wrong?"

Moke noticed Cavendish's unusual behavior and couldn't help but ask him about it.

Cavendish, saying frankly, "I've successfully ejected that consciousness from my body. It's no longer a problem for me. However, it hasn't completely left. It's as if I have two souls, and my consciousness can even travel back and forth between the two."

And... and I feel like I could eat another Devil Fruit."

Moke was shocked upon hearing this, then quite surprised, and Moke laughed.

"Interesting..."

As he spoke, he took out a mirror from his pocket. This was a special mirror, developed by a user with the ability to create mirrors.

As you can see, it's a storage bag.

Because this mirror doesn't connect to the entire Mirror World. Instead, it forms a very, very small space. Of course, this "very small" is relative to the entire Mirror World.

This is a very small space, but it's still a full cubic meter. Of course, it's a very special space; everything that goes inside will shrink.

It can actually hold 50 cubic meters of material.

He had stored the Devil Fruit and Meito he possessed inside for easy access... He reached in.

They quickly retrieved a Devil Fruit.

It's important to know that he successively took over the Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, and now both of these major pirate crews are under his control.

"Ah, this..."

Cavendish's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw this.

He muttered to himself, "What kind of ability is this?"

However, his attention immediately fell on the Devil Fruit that Moke handed him again.

With a hint of disbelief, he asked, "Another one for me?"

"Zoan - Bullet Ant Fruit. This is a very rare insect-type Devil Fruit among the Zoan!"

"Bullet ants?"

Cavendish looked astonished; in his eyes, no matter what kind of ant it was, it was still just an ant—frighteningly weak...

Moke couldn't help but laugh upon seeing this, "Ants are large, but what other animals of the same size can compare to them?"

"???"

Cavendish still looked puzzled. Are ants really that strong?

He never paid any attention.

Who in their right mind would pay attention to these things?

Moke's face darkened. "Illiterate!"
