on the square.

Maud was always in the square.

He was tall and calm.

All those who paid attention to Maude did not notice anything unusual.

Even Perona, who floated beside Maude, was the same.

No one noticed, standing behind Maude in the middle of the square...... There is no shadow.

Meanwhile.

The secret hall of the royal tomb.

Maud paced over, leaning against the edge of the door, and looked at Luffy who had fallen to the ground in surprise, and Klockdahl, who still had the strength to fight.

Luffy was defeated.

This result was unexpected.

Maybe it's because of his arrival, so something has changed after all.

Like what

It made Luffy take one less fat beating from Klockdahl, so that Luffy didn't get one more experience, so he couldn't complete the last piece of the puzzle to defeat Klockdahl.

But it doesn't matter whatever.

"This place is really unique, and it's hidden enough."

Maude's gaze swept over the slightly flustered Klockdahl and the unconscious Cobra, and the huge historical text was finally fixed on Robin, who was stunned.

"If it weren't for the 'shadow mark' I gave you, I really wouldn't have been able to find this place in the first place."

"Shadow ......"

Robin was stunned, and quickly realized what the shadow mark was that Maude was talking about, and subconsciously touched the spotted gecko in his pocket.

Maud watched Robin's movements and asked, "So, why don't you 'ask me for help'?" I don't think you can get away with this situation. ”

“……”

Robin was silent.

When the last hope was disappointed, she had no motivation to look for it for nearly 20 years in order to explore the truth of history.

She was determined to die, so naturally she didn't think about using the one chance for help that Maude gave her.

"Forget it, the thing is yours, whether you use it or not is your self-......"

Maude shook her head slightly, and stopped abruptly in the middle of her words.

The location of Klockdahl in the afterglow of his eyes was only a wisp of yellow sand at this time.

However, it was Klockdahl who took advantage of Maude and Robin to talk to him, so that his body was elementalized, and he immediately circled behind Maude as fast as he could.

The golden hook with the poison inside is ready to go.

If the sneak attack is successful, it will be averted!

In the flash of lightning, Klocodahl's eyes were grim, and he swung his golden hook to stab Maud's vital point.

However, as if she had eyes on the back of her head, Maud did not turn around or look back, but leaned back with her backhand to precisely grasp the sharp golden hook of Klockdar's poisonous inside.

"Huh?"

Klockdahl was startled.

The moment the hook was grasped by Maude, he realized that the hook had not pierced Maude's skin.

Before the original historical text, Robin was shocked and lost his voice: "Bare hands...... Hold the ...... But ...... up there."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of gold and stone sounded in the hall.

But it was Maud who broke the poison hook with his bare hands.

"It's quite decisive, Klockdahl, yes, this is your 'only' chance to turn the tables around, but you obviously didn't take it."

As soon as the words fell, Maude turned around.

Instead of drawing his sword, he reached for Klockdahl.

Klockdahl's face changed, his body instantly deserted, and he quickly retreated, trying to distance himself from Maud.

But Maude's hand was faster, and he directly choked Klockdahl's neck, so as to curb the elementalization phenomenon on Klockdahl's body.

"It's ...... Armed color. ”

The neck was clamped, Klockdahl's pupils shrank, and when the trachea was squeezed by brute force, a swirl of sand condensed on the palm of his hand without any stagnation.

How could Maud give Klockdahl a chance to die, and his other hand pulled out the autumn water directly and stabbed it straight into Klockdahl's heart.

Poof——!

The blade of the autumn water blade wrapped around the domineering armament came out directly from Klockdahl's back, bringing a burst of blood.

"Uh......!"

Klockdahl's body shook, and his eyes widened as he stared straight at Maude, who was close at hand.

Life was draining quickly, and Klockdahl's gaze drooped feebly, falling on the autumn knife that pierced his heart.

His expression grew hideous, as if he couldn't accept the fact that he was about to die.

The sand swirl condensed in the palm of the hand was the vanishing of force majeure.

The glint in Klocodahl's eyes slowly dimmed.

Maud calmly looked at the hideous look on Klokdal's face.

First, he let go of the right hand that restrained Klokdal's neck, and then neatly pulled back the autumn water, and while turning around and walking towards the temple, he waved his arm to shake off the blood on the knife.

Knock –

Behind Maude, Klockdahl fell to his knees, then slowly fell forward to the ground, gradually gathering a puff of dust.

This pirate hero, who had been galloping on the sea for many years, died under Maude's knife.

And when his vitality is cut off, the traces that can be left are turned into rich experience gains, and they are fed back into Maude's body along a channel that no one can see.

In an instant, the sixth star, which represents the Devil Fruit's ability, lit up!

This is also the moment when Maude's four ability values all cross the six-star level and truly move towards a higher level.

For a moment, Maude, who had accepted Klocodahl's experience points, felt that he was only one step away from being invincible.

But reason soon shattered his unrealistic views.

If you really want to be invincible, I'm afraid you have to have at least four requirements to reach nine and a half stars.

Maude shook his head slightly, shook off the blood stains on the autumn water knife, and quickly returned the autumn water to the sheath.

Robin stared at Klockdahl's corpse in a daze.

And just died......

It's as easy as blowing out a candle in one breath.

It made her feel like she was in a dream.

It wasn't until Maude's footsteps came close that Robin came back to his senses, looking up at the man in front of him silently.

Maud glanced at the wound on Robin's chest and said, "You're badly wounded. ”

Robin smiled bitterly, took out the antidote with difficulty, his voice was weak and weak, and said, "This is the antidote, which can detoxify the scorpion venom in the straw hat boy's body." ”

Maude took the antidote and turned her head to look at Luffy, who was unconscious.

It turned out that he was poisoned by a scorpion......

Maude didn't detoxify Luffy at the first time, but looked at Robin in front of him and asked, "Are you begging for death?" ”

Robin's eyes lowered, and he was silent again.

Silence is acquiescence.

Maud looked like Robin had been drained of all his strength.

"It's easy for you to die now, but have you ever thought that once you die, the traces of O'Hara's existence will be completely forgotten by the world, and then disappear into the long river of history that no one knows?"

"You ......"

Robin jerked his head up and looked directly at Maude.

Maude's expression was as calm as water, and he said lightly: "I have no interest in the historical truth of eight hundred years ago, but no matter what, as long as there is a 'fire' that is fortunate enough to survive, it is often precious. ”

"As long as you live, good things will happen."

"So, don't let yourself die too cheaply, Nicole Robin......"

As he spoke, Maude looked at the ancient text in the original text of history.

Robin, on the other hand, lowered her head and her eyes trembled violently, revealing her unsettled mood.
