Chapter Seventy-Seven: If I Have to Choose......

Why?

The same is a pirate.

Shouldn't it be a move on the Navy?

Even if it's normal for pirates to fight each other......

But that is also based on the premise of interests or conflicts and grievances.

Bottrand realized Maude's true purpose, and the doubts that arose were shattered by the oncoming sword light.

At this moment, Botrand had no energy left to think about the mess.

How to get through the current crisis is more important than anything else at this moment.

Qiang ——!

He swung his thick-backed machete, parrying the attack from Maud.

The forces of the two sides collided together through the blades of the blades, and suddenly set off a wave of qi that spread all around.

Although Botron was stabbed by Maud before, he is a pirate with a bounty of nearly 100 million after all, and his strength is not weak.

"Do you have to kill them all?"

In addition to parrying, Botron looked solemn.

If there was the slightest possibility, he didn't want to fight Maud at all.

Moreover, the battle was meaningless to him.

Maud remained silent, but was amazed at the strength that Bottrand had shown after his injury.

After all, he is also a pirate who can be rewarded by the Navy for 98 million, which is much stronger than the Buffalo who developed the Devil Fruit into a mess.

Some people are like that.

After eating a weaker Devil Fruit, you will lose some aspects of your own expertise because you attach too much importance to the ability of the Devil Fruit.

Only the Devil Fruit, which is purely based on increasing its own physique, can avoid this potential drawback.

Maude's silence made Bottran gloomy.

Knowing that this battle was inevitable, Botrand endured the pain of the bursting wound, and exerted all his strength, and his arms and even the back of the hand that clenched the handle of the knife suddenly became bruised.

He tried to use his strength to keep Maud in place.

"Konan, leave me alone, just kill him!"

“……”

Conan, who had already turned into a human-beast form, did not hesitate, and directly took a detour and pounced on Maud, who was wrestling with Botron.

【Six Wheels of Gold】

Conan crossed his arms and leaped into the air to create six golden claw marks that struck Maude's back.

Looking at its trajectory, even Botrand is within the range of the attack.

In this case, if Maud resisted the power of Botron's sudden burst of pressure, and then escaped directly.

Then, it will be Botrand who will be exposed to Conan's attack.

If Maud can't get rid of Bottron's pressure, he will have to withstand Conan's attack in the back, and the attack that overflows the range of the back will also affect Bottrand.

Dare to make such a decision in a hurry, I really don't know if it is a manifestation of overconfidence or mutual trust.

"Tsk......"

Maude's eyes narrowed slightly.

By seeing and hearing it, he "saw" Conan's attack from behind him.

It is better to take a certain amount of risk and attack the back with the largest force area than the less risky side.

Sometimes, one wrong decision can lead to a catastrophe from which you will never be able to gain an advantage.

"Do you really think you can suppress me......

When the claw strike was imminent, Maud first resisted the pressure of Botrand without any pressure, and then lifted his heel lightly, turned his ankle, and gently withdrew to the side.

The disparity in strength allowed Maud to easily get out of the suppression situation.

This abrupt response was to make Botrand directly lose the focus of pressure, causing the upper body to lean forward.

That action looked like it was actively colliding with Conan's six-wheeled gold.

"Damn ......"

Bottran's eyes changed, and so did Conan.

The move called the Six Rounds of Gold hit Botron's body like this.

"Ugh!"

Several blood arrows splattered from Botron's body.

At the critical moment, Conan had some strength to contain it.

Despite this, his attack left several glaring blood streaks on Botron's body.

"Damn!"

This oolong-like result shocked Conan's heart.

At the same time, feeling the pinprick coming from behind him, he didn't bother to check on Botron's injury, and turned sharply, only to see Maude slashing at him.

It was a no-showy cut, but it was fast and ruthless.

In his human-beast form, Conan quickly stabilized his body, and the claws that stretched out from his fingertips overlapped, blocking the path of the long knife.

Laugh at!

The hard claws that should have been able to easily resist the cold weapon were easily cut through like tofu in the face of Maude's knife.

The armor-colored blade of the thousand birds slashed through the claws and cut a conspicuous line of blood on Conan's chest.

"No, it can't be?!"

When the pain came from his fingertips, Konan's face froze, and he only felt that the heat in his body was rapidly draining.

He struggled to roll his eyes to look at Maude as he walked by.

However, the icy darkness suddenly came from front of him, completely covering his vision and thoughts.

A fountain of blood suddenly erupted from Conan's chest, and the beastly body slowly fell to the ground.

Seeing Conan being slashed down by Maude, Bottron's eyes, who barely stood on his feet, shrank sharply.

"Conan!"

Bottran looked at Maud with a sad and angry face, his eyes red.

"Bacardi. Maude, you...... It's just a butcher with no humanity!! I'll kill you!!! ”

The sound of anger and hatred resounded throughout the Colosseum, even drowning out the continuous gunfire at one point.

Many pirates and bounty hunters followed the sound and looked at where Botron and Maud were.

What happened?

They were puzzled.

"Butcher ......"

Listening to Botron's angry roar, the corners of Maude's mouth pulled a trace of disdain.

"Now, who have slaughtered a village, who has slaughtered all of you, who have such a right to say such things? However, I didn't attack you because of this, but if I had to choose......"

Maude pointed a knife at Botron, whose eyes trembled violently, and smiled, "I still 'like' people like you." ”

Botrand couldn't understand this sentence of unknown meaning, and he stopped talking nonsense with murderous intent, but raised his knife to kill Maude.

However, defeat was assured.

Maud slashed Botron with two swords, taking in the good amount of XP.

If you want to say that in the entire Colosseum, the ones with the highest profits are Conan and Bottran of the Tooth Pirates.

After collecting the experience points of these two prey, Maud had no time to feel the physical changes that came from the feedback of the gains.

Still ignoring the astonished gazes from all around, Maud leapt straight to the audience and began to hunt down the pirates who chose to stay.

His move made the pirates suddenly have a bad premonition in vain.

At this time, heavily armed soldiers poured in from all entrances and exits of the audience stage.

In the VIP box suspended at the top, Degar, the king of the kingdom of Ahab, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands in his hands, looking down on the chaos in the Colosseum.

The contemptuous gaze swept over the pirates, including Maude, as if they were looking at a swarm of ants.

"A bunch of lawless idiots."
