Chapter Seventy-One: It's a scourge

The higher the object is above the ground, the greater the shadow will be reflected on the ground.

contrarily

The closer an object is to the ground, the smaller the shadow will be reflected on the ground.

As the fifth island fell from the sky, the shadow reflected on the ground was shrinking at a fairly rapid rate.

What Maud did was to insert "shadow nails" at the edge of the island's shadow, so that the island's shadow could not continue to shrink.

And then

Due to the Shadow Fruit's properties, when the shadow of the island no longer changes, it means that the island itself is in a state of immobility.

It is this principle of ability that makes the fast-falling island suddenly freeze in mid-air.

"What a terrible ability~~~"

The yellow ape seemed to have seen something incredible, and it was rare to lift his strength, carefully studying Maude standing in the middle of the shadow of the island.

The pheasant was also looking at Maude, thinking back on Maude's performance so far, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a man full of 'accidents'. ”

“……”

Akainu didn't say a word, his expression serious.

His attention was not on Maude, but on the Grand Fleet of the Golden Lion Pirates high in the sky.

Successfully stopping the island is just the beginning.

By the time the Golden Lion puts the strength of this large fleet into the battlefield, he will no longer be able to win.

Encloses the top of the wall.

Hawkeye slowly retracted his knife, silently looking at Maude, who had once again attracted countless eyeballs, and a look of thought quietly appeared in his eyes.

He was trying to recall memories of Moonlight Moria.

It seems that in memory, Moonlight Moriah didn't have so many tricks when she used the Shadow Fruit ability.

"U-woo...... Using the abilities of the 'Shadow Fruit' to such an extent, if that bat bastard crawled out of the graveyard and saw this scene, he would probably be ashamed enough to burrow back into the graveyard again. ”

Doflamingo looked at Maud coldly, if it weren't for the fact that there was an irresolvable grudge between them.

As an awakener of the ability to play tricks with the fruit of the thread, he may also have a slight sense of pity for Maude.

In the present word,

Some just want to kill Maude's mind as soon as possible.

air

All five islands were stopped.

The navy, which had a false alarm, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But

There are also dozens of pirate ships floating in the sky, as well as the legendary golden lion.

"Whitebeard and Golden Lion, such a combination ......"

"Damn, it took a long time to push the Whitebeard Pirates into a corner, and now a golden lion has emerged......"

"Don't think about it so much, we have a !! of 'legends' on our side"

"Well, there's also the reliable ...... of the Seven Martial Seas"

When talking about the Seven Martial Seas, many navies directly ignored Doflamingo and them, and looked at Maude, who pinned the shadow of the island.

Before this war began, they would never have thought that a pirate with the identity of the Seven Martial Seas would perform so reliably.

Only high-ranking naval officials like Vice Admiral Tsuru, who knew Maude's origins, could understand why Maude always killed pirates.

High in the sky.

The golden lion watched the specially prepared "meeting gift" being intercepted halfway, his laughter gradually stopped, and his eyes became as fierce as a beast.

"What an unpleasant ability."

The fierce gaze looked straight at the vine tiger in the square.

This is the second time.

The golden lion wanted to kill the vine tiger, and he was so strong that he wanted to smash all his forces on the head of the vine tiger.

Other than that

And that little ghost!

The golden lion turned his gaze to Maud, who was standing beneath the island.

He probably knew what the blind man was capable of, but it was this little ghost who somehow stopped the fifth island.

It can't be another ability that will restrain him, right?

The Golden Lion suddenly realized that in the past, he would always be especially wary of those who could restrain his own abilities, but he had never thought of completely eliminating these threats.

For example, now,

This blind man's heavy fruit ability will greatly weaken the attack power of the fluttering fruit.

In that case, as long as this person is killed, and then find a way to find the fruits and hold it in his hands, won't the threat be solved at the root?

On the occasion of the battle, the golden lion clapped his hands as if he had an epiphany, looking very happy.

"Instead of destroying the Navy Headquarters, let's kill you first."

The golden lion looked at the vine tiger from afar, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

The meeting gift can't be delivered, and the golden lion is not in a hurry to let the flying fleet go out.

"This height doesn't have much impact......"

The golden lion withdrew his gaze from the vine tiger and turned to look at the rampaging creatures of the five islands.

This is something he has been preparing for twenty years.

Originally, it was intended to be used to destroy the East China Sea, but it was obviously more meaningful than destroying the Navy Headquarters.

"Now, feel the despair, stupid navy!!"

The golden lion raised his hand, and was about to use his ability to turn the island on its side, when the fifth island, which was stopped by Maude, suddenly moved in the direction of the harbor.

"Huh?"

The golden lion was slightly stunned.

He hasn't done it yet, so why did the island move on its own?

on the square.

Most of the navies near the encirclement wall were the first to notice the movement of the island.

"Is it out of control?"

"No, it's Maud who controls the island!"

Soon, the navies noticed that Maud was further manipulating the shadow spikes, pulling the island's shadow in the direction of the harbor.

"What does he want to do?"

Doubts immediately arose in the minds of the navies.

"Is it ......?"

They noticed that the direction of the island's movement was the harbor where the Whitebeard Pirates and their fleet were located.

After thinking of a certain possibility, the faces of the navies flashed with surprise.

So ruthless!

"Ahh

The pheasant looked up at the island that was moving towards the harbor, and then at the icebreaker and the Moby Dick side ship in the harbor, which were moving away from the enclosure wall.

Looking like this, he was planning to retreat to the entrance of the harbor.

It shouldn't be to take advantage of the opportunity to escape, but to have other plans, right?

Thinking of this, the pheasant's palm quietly oozed cold smoke.

The yellow ape touched his chin and looked up at the moving island.

Like the pheasant, he was aware of Maude's intentions.

This is to smash the fifth island on the heads of the Whitebeard Pirates!

"Today's young people~~ are really more terrible than the other~~"

The yellow ape felt like he was going to look the other way at Maude.

This little young man is simply a scourge.

"It's a rare opportunity, do you want to help? Pheasant ......"

The yellow ape tilted his head to look at the pheasant not far away.

At this point,

The pheasant had already aimed his smoky palm at the surface of the bay.

"Ahh

Before the words fell, a slender icicle condensed from the palm of the pheasant's palm and fell straight into the sea.

Ice age!

The chill released from the end of the icicle once again froze the waters in the harbor.

The icebreaker and the Mobey Dick ship, which were rushing towards the entrance of the harbor, were naturally not spared, and the bottom was directly frozen by the heavy ice.

"The ship is frozen!"

"Damn, it's the power of the pheasant!"

"You have to break the ice around you to make room for the icebreaker to accelerate!"

The Ice Witch Waitibe's eyes froze, and she quickly gave a countermeasure.

And at this moment,

The sudden large shadow, like a pitch-black rain cloud coming from a distance, silently covered the entire harbor.

"It's ——!"

"The islands are moving...... Golden Lion, do you want to kill us?! ”

On the deck, the pirates looked up in amazement at the islands that had moved overhead, breathing a little hard for a moment.

"No, it's not the Golden Lion......"

"Damn, it's that bastard Seven Martial Seas again!"

The group of pirates from the New World soon discovers that the person controlling the island is not the Golden Lion, but Maude, who has caused them trouble three times and twice.

All of a sudden, the pirates under Whitebeard couldn't help but burst into foul language and greeted Maude cordially.

"What an unpleasant little ghost."

Whitebeard's cold gaze was directed at Maude, who was manipulating the island's shadows.

Faced with the unkind gaze of the world's first man, Maude was not afraid.

"Don't live up to the kindness of the Golden Lion."

Maud smiled, waved his hand, and pushed the Shadow Spike, which was tugging at the island's shadow, to the last position that would ensure the entire island would be smashed into the harbor.

And then

Quickly remove the shadow spikes.

The island, which has lost its [Fixed] effect, smashes straight towards the harbor.

"Here !! come"

There was a commotion on the icebreaker and the deck of the Moby Dick.

Whitebeard took a deep breath, and the muscles of his arm bulged in a large circle.

"Do your best to carve insects."

Shadows loomed, and a circle of light floated from Whitebeard's fists.

on the square.

Fuji Tiger focused on keeping the four islands in the air still, so naturally he couldn't suppress Marco with all his might.

"Chance!"

Marco stubbornly resisted the attacks of the navy around him, and while Maud manipulated the island into the harbor, he rushed to the execution table again.

It's like Whitebeard believes that he can survive in the square, and he also believes that Daddy can save the day.
