Chapter 43: Rational Analysis
Man just disappeared out of thin air.
However, the attacks continued.
"Where?!"
Many of the pirates who came to crusade against the Maud Pirates were like great enemies.
They nervously probe around, trying to catch Maude's figure and movements with their eyes, in order to find the so-called peace of mind of "seeing the real thing".
However, what caught my eye was the invisible slashing brought by silent ripples.
The Invisible Man!
Invisible knives!
Just like that, he slashed at his companion's body, leaving a fatal knife wound.
It's like ...... A "ghost" that cannot be seen with the naked eye, but is real.
This kind of existence is the most shocking and terrifying!
Seeing the unexplained death of his accomplices, one of the pirates was the first to collapse.
"I can't stand it!"
The pirate gave up the battle and fled.
A second earlier, his companion, who had been only one step away from him, had been slashed to the ground.
At that moment, he thought it would be his turn next.
However, the next person to be killed was another companion who was still more than ten meters away from him.
This ghostly and strange attack made him unable to resist anything.
He would rather face an attack of incredible power than die in such an unknown direction.
As soon as the blood-stricken pirate took two steps, a clear tear appeared in the clothes on his abdomen, and then a blood mark appeared on the rough skin of his abdomen, and blood gushed down from it.
Soaked in blood, the intestines slipped and rolled out.
The pirate fell to the ground in amazement.
The person who killed him was not Maud, who was using Silent Walk, but Atalie, the captain of the Gut Hunter Pirates.
"If you don't even have a little enlightenment, don't come out and be embarrassed."
Atalie kicked the corpse away, her face covered with a winter-like chill in her heavy makeup.
The person she killed was a member of the Pike Pirates.
But Pike doesn't get angry, instead, he agrees with what Atalie says.
Outlaws like them, who doesn't pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers.
Thinking only about killing and looting, but not wanting to face up to the risks and consequences that will come with it?
How can there be such a good thing in the world?
But Parker didn't want to stop there.
Even if one day he will die at the feet of others, it cannot be now!
"Atalie, go restrain him!"
Seeing his accomplices die from the invisible slash, Pike calmly looked at Atalie.
Among the present, only the intestinal hunter Yatalie was known for her speed.
If you want to stop Maud's invisible attack, most of the time only Atalie can do it.
"Don't order me."
Atalie's eyes were cold.
Long after Maud turned on the silent kill mode, she was already watching for possible breakthroughs in that mode.
In the course of her observations, at least one accomplice would fall every second.
However, these accomplices who were killed by Maud did not die meaninglessly.
At the very least, their death has given Yatalie some crucial information.
"This silent footwork is indeed weird and terrifying, but ...... But it can't completely hide the tracks. ”
Atalie noticed the ripples of jellyfish-shaped dust that swung across the stone path.
If you can't catch it with the naked eye, you can only judge it by experience and instinct, as in the case of Hobson's pre-predictive punch that he threw forward.
Although the end was miserable, Hobson did judge Maude's movements, so he was able to attack at that time.
The other way is to use your eyes to follow the ripples on the stone pavement, so as to determine where Maude will land next.
With this conclusion in mind, Yatali glanced at her companions who had fallen to the ground.
"Moreover, although this attack is strange and powerful, it is not accurate and has limited power."
Most of them were killed by the slash, and a small number of them were not hit, so they only fell to the ground with serious injuries.
This result is enough to explain a lot of problems.
Taking advantage of the sacrifices of her companions, Athalie gradually figured out the drawbacks of the silent killing.
One is the trail, the other is the accuracy and power.
Of course, Yatalie didn't ignore the merits of this silent attack.
That's it – a high-speed change of direction!
A type like Yat Tali is taking the [Quick Kill Stream] technique that uses speed as a support point.
Therefore, Yatalie is well aware that it is difficult to change direction flexibly at high speeds.
Whether it is her self-created [Cat Step] or the [Shaving] often used by admirals, it is basically a straight-up ultra-high-speed footwork technique.
Because she knew enough about it, after seeing Maude's ability to change direction flexibly, Atalie was shocked but very envious.
She wondered how Maude did it.
It's a pity that Athalie won't see or hear, and she won't see Maude's movements at all.
Even if she could see the essence of the silent step and imitate the technique, it would be difficult to use this effect without seeing and hearing.
Either way, she finally found a breakthrough.
"The fun is just beginning."
Atalie licked her lips, her excited gaze pointing at the ripples that rippled on the ground.
It was as if she could already see Maude's figure slashing her accomplices in a fluttering manner.
"Why don't you hurry up?"
Hearing Atalie's declaration, Pike realizes that the other party has found a way.
"Ho-ho."
At this moment, Lafayette's trademark laughter came from not far behind them.
Pike and Attalie jerked around and looked at Lafayette and Jim as they walked slowly, and Bailey, who stepped on Jim's bald head.
Maude's heart-wrenching assault attracted the attention of the pirates, who nearly forgot about the presence of Lafayette and Jim.
Maude is not the only enemy.
Although ignored by the pirates, Lafayette is not angry.
After all, it was the captain of his own ship who was in the limelight.
Pike looked coldly at Lafayette and Jim, dragging the knife a few steps forward.
Without his explanation, Atalie rushed towards Maude, who was silently killing her accomplices.
At this moment, the members of the three pirates who were targeted by Maude did not sit still.
Although they couldn't see Maude's movements, it didn't prevent them from swinging their knives at the air.
There are so many of them, maybe a blind cat can run into a dead mouse?
If Captain Chloe had come, he might have actually slammed into the knife that had slashed at him.
But Maud is different.
When using silent steps, you must need the support of seeing and hearing.
Other than that, Maud wasn't even willing to waste the Armament color on this group of pirates.
That's why there is the power flaw that Yatari perceives.
Although the pirates had countermeasures, they could not stop Maude's massacre.
When more and more of the accomplices fell, they felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.
Invisible enemies, invisible attacks.
How can this be fought?
And just then, Yata Ali arrived.
"It's Captain Atalie!!"
The members of the Bowel Hunter Pirates suddenly saw hope.
"Captain Atalie, hurry up and stop this demon!!"
The crew looked at the graceful figure that was walking quickly with hope.
Athalie glanced at the crew, her eyes cold, but the smile on her face remained undiminished.
"Don't worry, I've already analyzed his weaknesses."
As soon as the words fell, Atalie's form swept away like a light wind.
Boom!
Under the watchful eye of numerous pirates.
Maud finally showed her form.
Instead, Yathalie crossed the wave knife to hold Maud's Chidori.
"Captain Atalie!"
Seeing that Atalie had blocked Maude, many pirates couldn't help but cheer.
Yat Tali looked at the murderous face that fascinated her closely, licked her lips and said, "Handsome guy, your silent footwork is really powerful, but it's a pity...... No matter how powerful you are, you can't escape my ......."
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
A bloody hole appeared in Atalie's forehead.
Her expression of pleasure froze.
“?”
Maud put away her gun and looked at Atalie strangely.
Did something just happen?
Around, the pirates who had just cheered suddenly looked like ducks choked by the neck.
“……”
