Chapter Ninety-Three: The Spotlight
In the huge square, countless corpses lay crookedly on the ground.
The blood that flowed from the corpse gathered in pools of blood all over the square.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunsmoke, which easily muffled the smell of blood rising from the ground.
Many of the seriously injured were still breathless, lying in pools of blood with their mouths open and moaning.
As their strength gradually decreased, they only had the thought of asking for help at this moment.
But the groans of the exit will be drowned out by the sound of gunfire and gold and stone in an instant.
No one will save them.
And they can only wait for death to come in torment.
This is the most realistic face of war, completely different from the beautified paper picture.
Click-Click
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Maude, who had only slammed the legendary hero of the Navy to the ground a moment ago, would be as if nothing had happened.
With a calm expression, he strode forward, oblivious to the berserk beasts around him.
The soles of the shoes stepped over the pool of blood, and the ripples were reverberate.
As he walked, he calmly passed over a dead corpse.
He looked ahead, and all he could see was Whitebeard, who was confronting Akainu.
"Roar!"
That seemingly defenseless posture attracted the attention of the two rhinoceros with huge sharp horns on their heads.
Beneath their heavy hooves were a mass of fleshy corpses, located on sharp horns near their noses, and two or three complete naval corpses were strung together.
Staring at the red beast's eyes, they shook their heads violently, shook off the corpse from the sharp horns, and immediately looked at their new target, Maud.
Knock Knock –
Without a moment's hesitation, the rhinoceros' heavy hooves stepped on the ground, driving their massive bodies towards Maude.
The rhinoceros rushing from both sides of his side did not affect Maude's calm steps forward.
As he walked, he still looked ahead.
But the shadows behind him silently condensed into two pillars of pitch-black shadows, the ends as sharp as the tip of a spear.
In an instant, the two pillars of shadow pierced the air like pitch-black lightning, easily piercing the rhinoceros's invulnerable defenses.
The sharp end of the shadow pillar pierced directly through the center of the rhinoceros's forehead, reaching deep into its body.
The body was pierced, and the two rhinoceroses in a berserk state suddenly stopped colliding and froze in place.
The next moment.
The pillars of shadow that pierced into the rhinoceros' bodies bloomed like thistles, turning into spikes that pierced their vitality from the inside out.
The two rhinos turned into bloody hedgehogs in an instant.
After half a ring, the pitch-black shadow pillar that was not stained with the slightest bit of blood suddenly retracted behind Maude with lightning speed.
The rhinoceros, which was covered in many holes, fell to the ground with a heavy fall.
From the shadow pillar piercing the rhinoceros to the rhinoceros falling to the ground and dying.
The whole process is finished, which is two seconds.
The navy nearby looked at the corpses of the two rhinos in amazement.
Prior to this, these two sharp-horned rhinoceros, who had a "team mentality", had killed more than thirty of their companions.
And their counterattack only left some shallow wounds on the rhinoceros's hard skin.
It can be said that among the thousands of fierce beasts dropped by the golden lion.
These two giant rhinoceros, with thick scalps, are undoubtedly one of the most difficult targets for the navy guarding the midfield.
Therefore, even if they tried their best to encircle and suppress them, the two rhinoceros still looked full of blood and energy.
But......
"It's so strong!"
"The rhinoceros that we have been besieging for so long and not being able to deal with was so easily eliminated......
The navy, who was encircling and suppressing the two rhinos nearby, turned in shock to Maude as he strode past them.
They have a deep understanding of the perverted defenses of these two rhinos, and they just feel that they don't know where to start.
But Maud was like chopping melons and vegetables, easily killing the rhinoceros that they couldn't handle for a while.
Peach Rabbit, Tea Dolphin, Smoker, Tina, and Dusty, these "old acquaintances", looked at Maude in silence.
First, he had the upper hand with Karp, and then he took out the two tricky beasts.
That casual and powerful calm posture overturned their previous perception of Maude's strength.
What level of strength has Maude reached now?
"What kind of speed is this monster moving forward?"
The tea dolphin raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat that had slid down his cheeks.
Some time ago, he had only seen with his own eyes the strength of Maude and Doflamingo when they fought against each other at the Navy Headquarters.
At that time, he felt that Maude's growth rate was unreasonable.
From the beginning of this war, he suddenly realized that Maud had not used all his strength when he fought Doflamingo at the Navy headquarters.
Hearing the words of the tea dolphin, in the burgundy pupils of the peach rabbit, in addition to being dignified, they were still dignified.
is as arrogant as her, and she has to agree with what the tea dolphin said.
He ...... What do you want to do? ”
At the moment when the number of beasts of prey was drastically reduced, a lot of eyes fell on Maude.
They silently watched Maude walk towards the frontcourt area where the battle was most intense.
Soon, it was noticed that Maud was always looking in one direction.
And in that direction, it was Whitebeard and Akainu fighting in a clearing.
"Is it ......?"
"His goal is ...... Whitebeard!? ”
"No......"
The navies, who were aware of this, were immediately shocked, but they could understand Maude's motives.
Whitebeard,
One of the Four Emperors, the strongest man in the world.
On his body, he carries the reputation that countless pirates and navies have coveted.
If you can defeat Whitebeard in a single-handed way, it is equivalent to snatching the title of "the strongest man in the world".
"Ahh If you can achieve 'fame', what do you plan to do after that? ”
The pheasant stared earnestly at Maude, who was walking towards Whitebeard step by step.
"I'd love to get an 'answer' from you, if you're not a pirate......"
The pheasant scratched his cheek, as if to shake the unnourishing thought out of his head, so he didn't look at Maud anymore and continued to clean up the few beasts that were left.
Maude, who became the focus of the audience for a while, came all the way to the front of the fiercest battle.
The Navy was aware of Maude's intentions.
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates, as well as the crew of the Grand Fleet, naturally felt Maude's strong fighting intent to attack his father for the first time.
"Daddy is dealing with Akainu, can't let you go over and join in the fun!"
A group of pirates who have been fighting until now looked coldly at Maude who was striding towards the meteor.
Their eyes lit up with murderous intent and they slammed into Maud.
"Hey, you're no match for him, come back!"
Seeing this, the captains of the Grand Fleet, who had performed well in the war, couldn't help but be shocked and hurriedly stopped them.
But it was too late.
Under the gritted gaze of the captains, the scene where Maud used his shadow to pierce the rhinoceros into a hedgehog was repeated.
The difference is that
This time, it was the pirates who besieged Maude.
The shadow that was already able to entangle the armed color easily killed their vitality.
In the midst of the blood, a corpse with many holes fell to the ground.
Not far away,
The Seven Warriors, who were paddling with the leaders of the Whitebeard Pirates, still had the energy to pay attention to the situation on Maude's side.
Farther away, there is a clearing specially vacated by the pirates, which is also where Whitebeard and Akainu are.
"I don't need help."
Whitebeard's unmistakable voice reached the ears of all the pirates present.
