Chapter 114: The Strong Live, the Weak Die.
Take Peach Rabbit's injury.
Even if she hadn't made up the knife, she would have died within a minute of her severe injuries and blood loss.
Maud saw this, but he still insisted on making up for it, and even when he was knocked away by Karp, he subconsciously pulled out his gun and shot to continue to make up the knife.
Persistent behavior is simply a matter of habit.
It's just that he didn't expect that Karp, who had been deliberately eliminating his sense of existence since Ace escaped from the execution table, would shift his focus and appear at this moment, and then help Peach Rabbit block this mending knife.
Even Lieutenant General Tsuru, who had not participated in the battle since the beginning of the war, came out.
But it's late.
The knife that finally cut through the body of the peach rabbit completely killed the possibility that the peach rabbit could survive.
Hearing Maude's words, Lieutenant General Tsuru and Karp's faces changed slightly.
At this time, the peach rabbit finally fell to the ground.
"Gion ......"
Lieutenant General Crane's heart tightened and he hugged the peach rabbit.
The blood that flowed from the peach rabbit's body immediately stained Lieutenant General Crane's white military uniform.
Looking at the blood loss of the peach rabbit, Lieutenant General Crane, who has always been unable to change color when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, will be full of nervousness.
Just checked the injury of the peach rabbit a little, and Lieutenant General Crane suddenly sank.
Peach Rabbit's chest rose and fell slightly, his blood-covered hands tugged at Lieutenant General Tsuru's sleeve, his lips squirmed, and his voice was weak.
"Mo, Maude, will definitely become a threat that the Navy cannot ignore...... Have to...... ...... him Ahem......"
This woman, who takes "must strangle the crisis in the cradle" as her code of action, even when she is dying, would rather turn the little time she has left into hostility against Maude.
Lieutenant General Crane could feel the will of the peach rabbit, and held the palm of the blood-stained hand, pursing his lips in silence.
"Little Gion."
Karp looked back at the bloodied Peach Rabbit, and then looked at Maude, the corners of his eyes suddenly raised, and he slowly revealed anger.
Glared at by the famous legendary hero of the navy, Maude was not afraid, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze gently swept over Karp's left leg.
"It seems that in the eyes of naval heroes, the life of a mere vice admiral is more important than the 'execution of the One Piece bloodline', and I really feel sad for the navy who fell to the ground and died in order to resist the attack of the Whitebeard Pirates."
“……”
Karp's eyes shrank, and even on top of his clenched fists, streaks of green tendons appeared.
In the face of Maude's point-to-point words, he was not even qualified to refute.
"Why, you look ...... Are you ready to crusade against me? ”
Maude's face was calm, his gaze flickering over Karp's left leg for the last time, and he briefly weighed it in his mind before suppressing unrealistic thoughts.
As he spoke, Maude's mind moved, and he took back the shadow that was fighting fiercely with the tea dolphin.
Without the hindrance of the shadow clone, the tea dolphin will be able to rush to the peach rabbit.
However......
It's too late.
He was stunned to look at the peach rabbit covered in blood and his vitality was fading away.
"It's all my ...... to blame"
Realizing that the peach rabbit was dying, the tea dolphin was suddenly sad and indignant.
"Maude!"
With a substantial anger in his eyes, the tea dolphin tilted his head sharply to look at Maude.
The gaze, as if he was about to swallow someone, fell on Maude's body.
Maud turned a blind eye to this.
In front of Karp, Lieutenant General Tsuru, and Tea Dolphin, he controlled the shadow to cover his body.
Shadow Stream, Pisces Stream!
The shadows that kept circulating slowly settled on Maude's body, turning into pitch-black ripples.
When the shadow and Maud are closely bonded, it means that Maud will not be able to use techniques such as shapeshifting, which require the shadow to be released, but Maud's attack and defense level will be greatly increased.
Suppose the color of the armament covering the body is an invisible piece of armor.
Then, when Maud uses [Pisces Circulation], it is equivalent to putting on an extra piece of armor than others.
It's a pity that there is no shadow inventory, otherwise Maud can match [Shadow Gathering Place] to make this form the strongest.
"I've got 'business' to do, but I'll stay here until she takes her last breath."
With a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, Maud looked at Karp and the tea dolphin with a calm expression.
The implication seems to be saying: Don't say that I didn't give you a chance to get back the game.
"You bastard!!"
The face of the tea dolphin changed, and the seemingly emaciated body suddenly swelled.
Musculoskeletal.
It has more than doubled at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The tea dolphin with a conspicuous change in its body slams its right foot on the ground.
Boom!
The ground cracked.
The tea dolphin dodged in front of Maude, and with a fist full of monstrous rage, he struck Maude in the face.
The speed and force were so strong that it even caused an air explosion.
In the face of this angry punch.
Maud just swung a knife and slashed at the armed fist of the tea dolphin.
The stronger power is that it will easily slash the menacing tea dolphin in the future.
Boom——!
The spilling force shook the ground around him into rifts that spread to Karp's location.
And the tea dolphin was shaped like an arrow, and slammed into the high wall behind the execution table.
With a loud bang, it directly smashed the wall into a large crater, and the smoke and dust drifted away.
At this time, the luster in the peach rabbit's eyes gradually dimmed.
The income from the feedback from the hunter's notes allowed Maud to confirm the death of Peach Rabbit for the first time.
"The strong live, the weak die, the world is ...... It's that simple. ”
Maude's eyes were calm and glanced at the woman who wanted to kill him several times.
He was strong, so he was not killed by her.
She was weak, so she died in his hands.
What good and evil are right and wrong, what is good and evil......
In this world without reins, only great strength is fundamental.
Karp didn't listen to Maude at all.
Caught between public and private, if he still has a chance to show his position, I'm afraid he will crusade against Maude on the spot.
Swish!
Wrapped in astonishing momentum, Karp went straight for Maud.
"I don't have the time to play with you right now."
In the face of Karp's attack, Maude, who confirmed that Peach Rabbit was dead, did not love to fight at all, and retreated as fast as possible, moving closer to Sabo's side.
In the short time that he and Peach Rabbit were fighting, the situation on Sabo's side became precarious.
There are three general-level opponents of Pheasant, Akainu, and Fujitora, even if Sabo has several high-end combat forces such as Ace, Marco, Jasmine, and Karas, at most they can barely hold up the scene.
But what they are facing is not only the three of Pheasant, Akainu, and Fujitora, but also other naval elites, and even those vice admirals.
So
While Sabo, Ace, Marco, Jasmine, and Kalas pinned down the three of them, the other navies poured fire on the Straw Hats.
If only that's it.
The Straw Hats were originally able to withstand the pressure.
However, Peach Rabbit severely injured Zoro, and the Tea Dolphin killed Bartolomeo's barrier powers.
Without the absolute protection of the barrier, the numerical superiority of the navy is naturally reflected.
And Sauron, who was seriously injured and unconscious, delayed the breakthrough efficiency of the Straw Hats.
If nothing happens, the chances of them escaping are almost nil.
But
However, there is a conspicuous change on the battlefield.
That's the Blackbeard Pirates who began to charge from the outskirts of the square.
And the potential change is undoubtedly Maude's erratic position.
"Thief haha!"
Blackbeard's arrogant laughter struck the hearts of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy like a hammer.
They struck, killing both pirates and navy.
The frenzied behavior made countless people in front of the screen feel frightened.
And the actions of the Blackbeard Pirates concealed Maude's presence to a certain extent.
People watching the live broadcast began to notice the existence of the Blackbeard Pirates.
