The first second was obviously split hundreds of meters away, but the next second, it instantly returned to its original position like no one.

The phenomenon of going back in time amazed the onlookers, but also inevitably felt chills.

This form of ability is simply impossible to prevent.

Outsiders don't know the details of Maude's abilities, but Cavendish and Jaya know that Maud is a Shadow Fruit ability.

It's too strong!

Cavendish's heartfelt exclamation was not due to Maude's slashing down of Brocky.

Rather, marvel at Maude's use of the Shadow Fruit.

"Is it really something that the Shadow Fruit can do while swapping places with the shadow and completely removing the impact force acting on the body?"

"But the most important thing is the wonderful grasp of the 'timing', and it is precisely because of this that the value of this 'little skill' can be brought into full play ......!"

Cavendish bit his thumb.

He has not yet mastered what he has seen and heard.

But as a bystander, he still saw the battle idea that Maude had laid out in just one second.

This made him excited, eager to take Maude's place.

meantime

He had never been very interested in Devil Fruits, but he also began to have a slight interest in Devil Fruits.

Inside the field.

After Maud slashed Brocky with a single sword, she did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but stepped on the air, causing her body to stop in the air.

He didn't want the battle to end so quickly.

Instead, they want to squeeze more combat experience out of Brocky.

Until then, it doesn't matter even if you fight to exhaustion.

Outside the battle circle, Dongli looked at the fallen Brockie worriedly, but never took a step forward.

This battle is a duel between Brocky and Maude, and he can't stop or interfere with it.

Dongli's gaze turned away from Brockie and turned to Maude in the air, anger in his eyes.

This anger was not because Maud had cut down Brockie, but because Maud did not take advantage of the situation to pursue after gaining the advantage.

Such a move, in Dongli's opinion, is tantamount to Maud belittling Brockie.

Feeling the angry gaze from Donley, Maud didn't care much.

It is normal for a companion to have such a reaction when someone is cut down.

If Maud knew the real reason for Dongli's anger, he would be deeply speechless.

In a sense, the importance of the Giant Clan's battle honor is somewhat outrageous to the point that others cannot comprehend.

"Gahaha, that's a pretty powerful slash."

Brocky laughed excitedly, then stood up, staring at Maud in the air.

The knife just now, if it goes up a few tens of centimeters, it is estimated that it will cut a large opening in his throat that cannot be blocked.

At that point, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Fortunately, he dodged at the last moment......

Brocky was more excited than scared.

The feeling of walking on the edge of life and death is the supreme enjoyment that combat can bring.

Maud didn't answer.

As Brocky got up, he stomped the air hard, his body shooting at Brocky like an arrow, his arms in a position that could swing his knife quickly.

Seeing Maude's strong attack, Brocky restrained his laughter, his expression extremely solemn and focused.

With the dual aid of eyesight and combat instinct, Brocky waved his arm and responded with an unpretentious slash.

The massive axe blade slashed straight at Maude's body, blocking all of Maude's paths to attack.

Outside the war circle.

Jaya's eyes widened slightly, staring at the seemingly ordinary slash.

She also uses an axe as a weapon, and she can easily see the sophistication of Brocky's slashing.

It was the right timing to cut in, so to speak, to seal off the possibility that Maud would be able to pass through the line, in that case......

"Unless you regroup your offensive, you can only force it down."

Jaya didn't know what Maude's choice would be, but judging from this axe alone, Brocky's fighting skills contained a delicacy that was different from his rugged appearance.

If Maud chooses to make a hard move, I'm afraid that Brocky will turn from delicate to violent in an instant, and he will not hesitate to pour the strength of his whole body into the next attack.

Inside the field.

Facing the giant axe that fell head-on, Maude's eyes glowed red.

In this brief interval, many thoughts crossed his mind.

There are many options.

It's easy to advance and retreat.

However, Maud did not want to retreat.

He picked the most aggressive option.

Draw the gun, shoot!

"Bang ——!"

Wrapped in armed buckshot, he headed straight for Brockie's door.

"Huh?"

Brocky was slightly startled.

The gunshot, which was one step faster than any attack, directly disrupted his train of thought.

"Not your average shooting !!"

Brocky responded with lightning and tugged at the axe slightly, blocking the path of the buckshot.

"Bell ——!"

The buckshot landed on the axe, scattering like fireworks.

The impact contained in it was transmitted to Brocky's body through the axe.

merely

Although the power of the shot was unusual, it could not make any waves in front of Brockie, who had strong strength.

Brocky took the shot steadily, but it also revealed a flaw in the offensive and defensive situation just now.

That's what Maude wants to see, too.

He quickly put away his gun, and was about to take the opportunity to add another wound to Brocky's body, but he saw Brocky grin and take two steps back in time.

"I noticed, your shadow that you deliberately placed behind you, now...... Exactly in a straight line. ”

The backward move freed up enough time and space for Brocky to make a gesture as if he was ready to swing his bat.

The arm holding the giant axe suddenly swelled, revealing python-like green tendons, and the momentum and power quickly condensed on the axe.

"Let's take a good look at it, the most powerful gun from the Elbaf Giants - the Overlord!"

The axe, which had gathered all its power to one point, suddenly slashed at Maud with a visible cylindrical shockwave.

A piercing roar erupted in the air, and a deep furrow was plowed into the ground along the way.

The cylindrical shockwave came like a glittering comet, carrying a terrifying sound.

It's fast, but in the blink of an eye, it's in front of Maud.

"Is this the hegemon......

A dazzling light covered the body and eyes.

Instead of being afraid, Maud exuded excitement.

The cylindrical blastwave then engulfed him, and then followed a straight trajectory, piercing a volcano in the distance.

"Boom!"

The volcano that was suddenly attacked, in a violent explosion, spewed out a large amount of magma and volcanic ash.

This extremely powerful and terrifying blow stunned the onlookers on the spot.

Those who hid in the dense forest, with the idea of culling the giants, were almost scared.

In all this time, they had never seen Dongli and Brocky use such a move.

Now seeing it with my own eyes, there is nothing but shock and fear in my heart.

"Gahaha......!"

Broki's hearty laughter outweighed even the dull rumble of a volcanic eruption.

And just then, an understatement voice rang out out of thin air, causing Brockie's laughter to come to an abrupt end.

"So, what are you happy about?"

but they heard their voices, but they did not see their people.
