Squeak——!

The blade known as the cat's claw slices through the iron gate of the fence and is pointed at Maud's throat.

Maud took two steps back at the right time, easily avoiding the kill.

Then, the iron gate of the fence that was cut off by the cat's claw fell to the ground with a bang, and the sound it made immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the mansion.

A middle-aged couple led a dozen servants out of the mansion and looked at Chloe with a murder weapon at the gate in amazement.

What's going on?

Even if he didn't hear a sound, Chloe could feel the stunned gaze coming from behind him.

He didn't pay attention to it, but looked at Maude coldly.

"Thanks to you, the group of people behind can't survive today."

"Yes."

Maud chuckled softly.

That dismissive attitude made the killing intent in Chloe's eyes even stronger.

Silent step!

Chloe's body shook slightly, and in silence, his figure suddenly disappeared.

"It's used."

Maude's eyes glowed red, and with the blessing of seeing and hearing, he could see Chloe's movements.

"Behind you......"

Mordhu turned around and kicked out.

As soon as his foot kicked out, Chloe just came into shape.

Bang ——!

The kick was directly on Chloe's abdomen.

Chloe was hit so hard that she bent her body and flew upside down like a shrimp, falling to the ground and rolling several times before stopping.

"This man...... Poof! ”

Chloe's heart was shocked, and when he straightened his upper body, he couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of thick blood to the ground.

In order to prevent Maud from taking advantage of the attack, Chloe endured the pain and quickly got up.

however

Maud neither drew his sword, nor did he make a heavy hand, nor did he take advantage of the victory to pursue.

Otherwise, he would have only had to wrap the armed color around the kick he had just had just wrapped around and it would be enough to end the fight.

"Go on."

Maud smiled at the embarrassed Chloe.

That kind of silent footwork, he still wants to observe a few more times.

Strictly speaking, in terms of momentum, that footwork is even more powerful than the six-style shaving.

Not only can the sound be compressed to an almost silent level, but it can also ensure the speed of the burst in an instant.

If you want to talk about the shortcomings, that is, the upper limit is not as good as shaving.

After all, it is necessary to take into account the sound problem, so the explosiveness is definitely not as strong as the shave.

However, on the other hand, the difficulty of using silent footwork is more about skill than the convenience brought by strong physique.

"What are you doing...... Humiliate me? ”

Chloe didn't know what Maude was thinking, and the killing intent on his face was like substance.

"Whatever you want."

Maud understated.

Chloe said no more, and her figure flickered and disappeared in an instant.

In the air, there was a faint sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air.

Maud leaned sideways, easily dodging Crow's attack with murderous intent.

At the same time, there were several slash marks on the ground around him, and Chloe never showed his form, but the sound transmitted in the air became more and more obvious.

"It's speeding up, the offensive is indeed a lot stronger, but it's ......"

Maud took a sudden leap back, once again easily dodging Chloe's shadowless attack.

"At the same time, the sound suppression is obviously not as good as before."

"That way, the threat is lowered."

"Well, it was pushed on the tip of the toe, like a drop of water falling on the water, no wonder the movement can be so soft."

"Only by doing this can we keep the sound to a minimum......

"It's a pity, in order to strengthen the offensive, it's a bit of a sacrifice to the end."

Maud watched intently at the footwork used by Chloe.

The silent footwork used to use the toes to step on the ground at high speed is really amazing.

However, the principle of using the entire sole of the foot on the ground in order to speed up the speed has a sense of being shaved.

In contrast, Maud prefers silent footwork.

After observing the almost, it was time to end the hunt.

Maude listened to the frequent cracking sounds in the air around her, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in her eyes.

"Almost, I don't know if I'll learn it yet, but thank you, Captain Crow."

With that, Maude suddenly reached out to his side with an armed-colored palm and pinched Chloe's neck at high speed.

In an instant, Chloe was in shape, and the noisy voice around him suddenly disappeared.

Grabbed by the neck with one hand, Chloe's eyes shrank, and the look at Maude was full of horror.

He had heard what Maude had just said.

It was also at this time that he understood the reason why Maude had not made a move.

It's to learn my ...... Shadowless Steps?

Click!

Maud snapped Chloe's neck dryly.

Chloe's face froze, and the glint in her eyes quickly dimmed.

Maud let go, letting Chloe's body fall to the ground.

"Krabatel !!"

An anxious male voice came from the courtyard of the mansion.

A middle-aged man with a slightly fat figure hurriedly walked over.

He was followed by a dozen people, mostly servants in the mansion.

This middle-aged man is Keya's father, and he is also the one who was kind enough to take in Chloe.

"You, why did you kill Krabaatle!"

Looking at Chloe's corpse, the middle-aged man looked at Maude angrily.

Among the servants who followed him, several bodyguards had already drawn flintlock pistols.

Maud was prepared, took out Chloe's bounty order from his coat, and faced everyone.

"The Krabatel you know is actually the captain of the notorious Black Cat Pirates, Clowe, and I'm Captain Wolfrat, so I made this decision out of consideration for your personal safety."

"How, how could it be ......?"

The crowd looked at the bounty in shock.

When they realized this, they couldn't help but feel a chill when they thought that they had been with a murderous pirate for a year.

"If you are offended, please forgive me, I still have to take the corpse back to my life, so I won't bother much."

Maud left the bounty order, then lifted Chloe's body, and turned to leave as if she wanted to go back as soon as possible.

"Wait a minute, I don't know how to thank you!"

The middle-aged man came back to his senses and hurriedly spoke out to keep Maude, but because of his hurry, he didn't even notice that he was using an honorific title.

"No thanksgiving, this is my duty as a Navy."

Maud dropped a word, and quickened the pace of departure.

Everyone looked at Maude's departing figure, and their faces couldn't help but be full of admiration.

"It's a great blessing that such a powerful young navy has been produced in the East China Sea!"

The middle-aged man sighed heartily.

Maud had already walked away and had not heard the words of the middle-aged man.

He carried Chloe's body past a large tree by the side of the road.

Usopp with a telescope stepped out from behind the tree and cautiously looked at Modetti's body in his hand.

Maud glanced at Usopp and asked, "How do you feel about the battle just now?" ”

"Uh, that, I didn't see ...... clearly"

Usopp rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.

"I'm asking you what you think, not whether you see clearly."

"Hmm, this guy suddenly disappeared out of thin air just now, which scared me, and gave me the feeling that he was as strong as a monster, but you are still more powerful, hehe!"

"That's a kind of footwork, you just have to work hard, and you can do it later."

Maud looked ahead.

Deliberately leaving my hand to observe the footwork used by Chloe, not just for the sake of knowledge, but to learn this technique.

Before Lafayette and the others returned, try to practice the silent footwork while teaching Usopp.

Hearing Maude's words, Usopp became excited again, eager to start training from now on.

However, he didn't know that Maud would only stay here for about twenty days.
