Grand Line’s Lord Of Shadows

"Haaaa~"

The next day, early in the morning.

Luke yawned and let go of the pillow in his arms, which felt great, soft, and comfortable.

"Luke-sama..."

Perona's pretty face turned red.

A pair of big black eyes looked at Luke aggrievedly.

Is this guy really treating herself as a pillow?

"Morning…"

Luke smiled and looked at this petite legal loli who had just turned eighteen.

He patted the other party's pretty face and said with satisfaction: 

"You performed well last night; you will continue to work hard in the future!"

"Ah?"

Perona's eyes widened.

Her cute face turned red, and she stared at Luke angrily with her fists clenched: "How can this be done?"

She thought that was the end.

This is the first time that she has served others like this.

Last night, when she was giving him a bath, she wanted to bite him once to vent her anger.

Not to mention that all the advantages have been taken advantage of, and she has been reduced to a pathetic body pillow.

"Because it feels so comfortable to hold Perona..."

Luke said as a matter of course.

How could such a good pillow be let go like this?

"You dishonest bastard, I'll fight you..."

Perona was ashamed and angry.

She glared at the other party fiercely, ignored the restraints of seastone handcuffs, and threw herself at Luke angrily.

But she was easily suppressed by Luke.

"It's getting late; it's time to get up..."

After a while, Luke, who had enough fun, stood up and stretched his waist.

Looking at Perona, whose face was a little red, her cheeks puffed out, and she was about to cry in grievance.

In the little girl's overjoyed eyes, he casually threw the key to the seastone handcuffs to the other party: "But, as a reward, this is the key to the seastone handcuffs!"

"But as a body pillow every night, this is your obligation!"

Luke has decided there unilaterally.

From now on, Perona will be his own exclusive pillow.

But until this girl truly surrenders, for the sake of safety, he feels that he still has to put a seastone handcuffs on her every night.

"Hmph… this guy is so bad!"

Watching the other party leave and go to wash up.

Thinking of last night's experience, Perona couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

She just feels a little incredible.

The other person's age is even younger than hers.

For a moment, she was ashamed and annoyed and made an angry face: "Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that you look so handsome, I wouldn't want to do it!"

"Such Luke-sama is not cute at all!"

…

After finishing washing, Luke took Perona to the living room on the castle's first floor.

At this time, Dr. Hogback, the former genius surgeon, had been waiting there for a long time.

Moreover, there are dark circles under his eyes, which are a bit conspicuous.

It's probably because he didn't rest at all last night.

"Luke-sama..."

After seeing Luke, Dr. Hogback's eyes lit up.

He couldn't wait to step forward and said excitedly: "The ability of the Repair-Repair Fruit you gave me is so powerful... I have already repaired those rotting corpses!"

"Oh, is it so?"

Luke's eyebrows raised.

This guy, Dr. Hogback, has been busy all night verifying the ability of the devil fruit he just obtained.

"There is also the corpse of the swordsman Ryuma. I have completely repaired him and restored him to his original appearance..."

Hogback grinned and said happily: "As long as you use the ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit to stuff the shadows, they will be resurrected immediately, and they will definitely be more powerful than before!"

"But that guy, Oars, is too big... I can't move it back. Give me some more time, and I will make him return to his appearance five hundred years ago in a more perfect way and become the strongest zombie!"

"Hey, repair them until they look alive?"

Perona followed Luke out of the room with her just spirit.

After hearing Hogback's words, her eyes couldn't help but widen: "Hogback, are you telling the truth?"

She knew the other party's technical level clearly.

Although his skills in sewing and repairing corpses were top-notch, he helped Moria-sama create a large number of zombies.

But it's impossible to make the corpse the same as when they are alive, right?

Is the ability of the Repair-Repair Fruits so exaggerated?

"Of course! This is the ability of Repair-Repair Fruits that all doctors dream of, Perona!" Hogback bared his fangs and smiled strangely.

He held his head and his chest high, full of pride.

Using his skills, combined with the ability of the Repair-Repair Fruits.

Now, it is possible to restore those corpses to the greatest extent, even their original appearance, to achieve the effect of seeming to be alive.

"It seems that you are well prepared..."

Looking at the confident Dr. Hogback, Luke couldn't help but chuckle: "Then I want to see how far the corpse you have repaired can reach!"

It just so happened that he was also ready to fully verify the ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit in order to set future goals and directions when developing his abilities.

After all, Luke's belief in the Shadow-Shadow Fruit's ability is by no means limited to this.

On the contrary, there are infinite possibilities.

What he wanted to do was to create more than ordinary zombies.

It is to allow the shadows robbed from others to be able to move in the form of shadows without the need for animal or human corpses as carriers after being separated from the original body and to be 100% obedient to his orders.

Or even let his shadow directly possess the target, turning the other person into his puppet, etc.

But is it possible to do this?

It remains to be verified.

"It's a pity that Cindry's body was cremated by me! Woohoo..."

Dr. Hogback thought of something, and he suddenly burst into tears.

What he really regretted was that it was already too late.

Just a few days ago, he had already reluctantly cremated the corpse of his dream girl, Cindry, who was accidentally crushed by Moria.

For this reason, Hogback was sad for three days and three nights.

Otherwise, he must ask Luke-sama to use the power of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit to create the most perfect Cindry zombie for himself.

"Here we go again…"

Perona was speechless.

Since Cindry's body was destroyed.

This guy wasn't just sad for three days and three nights.

Whenever he remembers his beloved girl, he still cries from time to time without any care for his image.

The corners of Luke's mouth twitched.

A licking dog who cannot lick and has a twisted mind.

This is Luke's evaluation of Dr. Hobaku!

It can be said that it started by turning his former dream girl, Cindry, into a zombie.

This guy's psychology has begun to gradually become distorted.

From the beginning, all he wanted was Cindry's body, not her heart at all.

For Dr. Hogback, all he needed was a replacement.

Unfortunately, Moria has destroyed this replacement.

No wonder this guy rebelled so easily.
