Except for Von Cree, who acted with the Straw Hats, all the capable members of the Baroque Workshop were shot and killed by Maude.

The endless experience gains directly made the demon demand on the note break through to the fifth star, and it was about to condense the sixth star frame.

Maud had a feeling.

If the demonic power succeeds in breaking through the six stars.

Then, the development idea of [Shadow Box] may be able to become a reality.

The considerable benefits make Maud happy, not to mention that there will be a boss-level experience point waiting for him to collect later.

I just don't know if any of the fruits brought in me were lucky enough to [capture] one or two demon souls.

As for more than three?

That's almost impossible.

Unless......

With Maude's perspective and cognition of God that is beyond the two-dimensional.

Aside from guiding Luo to use the Surgical Fruit to obtain 100% of the Devil Fruit's ability.

It's something like this that hopes that the demonic power will smoothly attach to nearby fruits and become devil fruits......

Not to mention how low the probability is, this in itself is a very unrealistic thing, let alone a 100% success rate.

But

In this world, there is such a thing as [Lucky Fruit].

Its ability lies in its ability to extract the [Fortune] from others, and then convert the [Fortune] into its own use, or transfer the [Fortune] to other targets.

As long as the [Fortune] meets the standard, the person who has the [Fortune] can be said to have made his wishes come true, and he can naturally do something that is unlikely to succeed in terms of probability.

Include...... The probability that demonic power will attach to nearby fruits.

This is the only way that Maude, as a traverser, can think of.

In fact, he believes that the Blackbeard Pirates are most likely using a similar method to hunt for their abilities after the Top-Up War.

Suppose that the people in the Blackbeard Pirates really have abilities similar to the Lucky Fruit.

In Maude's opinion, it is estimated that the Blackbeard Pirates' ship doctor Poison Q is more qualified.

Maud originally wanted to open the cloth bag to see if he had won the lottery, but the arrival of Vivi and his party made him change his mind temporarily, and he directly pushed the clock and appeared in front of the Straw Hats.

This unexpected way of appearing directly made the straw hats stunned on the spot.

The same goes for Vivi, who flew towards the bell tower.

She was actually mentally prepared to fight the gunner, who would have thought that the person who greeted her would be Maude.

After that, there was the scene where Weiwei flew directly into the bell tower.

However, despite the fact that the person inside the turret is Maude, the crisis has not been resolved.

After Wei Wei landed, she quickly straightened her body in pain, and she didn't have time to pay attention to the two corpses not far away.

When she looked at Maude, she heard this sentence before she could speak.

"Want to stop this?"

“……”

Vivi's eyes twitched, and she looked at Maude in a daze.

Whatever Maude meant by "everything".

After witnessing the fight for her life between the king's army and the rebels, Weiwei could only pin her hopes on the man in front of her.

Because, Vivi already understands that even if Luffy defeats Klockdahl, he can't stop the king's army and the rebels who have already killed the red-eyed.

And solving the hidden danger of bombs can only solve the urgent need.

If the war is not stopped soon, hundreds of thousands of casualties will continue to occur over time.

This is an outcome that Vivi does not want to see.

But she couldn't do anything.

Whether it was in front of the thousands of troops fighting each other, or in front of this special bomb with a diameter of more than three meters, her strength, everything she could do, was ...... It's too small.

The helplessness in front of the square before became the last straw at this moment.

"I want to ...... Stop it all! ”

"Stop the explosion!"

"Stop the war!"

"But...... I'm too weak...... Nothing can be done......"

"I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for Luffy......"

Tears welled up in Weiwei's eyes, and the hard shell that had been held up to this point was finally suppressed and collapsed by the heavy responsibility on her shoulders.

"As you wish."

Maud tossed the huge pitch-black cannonball in his hand, as if he was tossing a small egg weighing only a few dozen grams.

The action of throwing the cannonball easily made Weiwei and even the straw hats underneath beat faster.

Maud caught the shell steadily.

There are only about three seconds left before the second hand reaches the end.

"After all, I'm within the 'blast range'."

Maud smiled at Vivi, and then, with the strength of her arm, threw the large cannonball in her hand into the sky.

Whew——!

The astonishing power made this cannonball, which was different in size from the norm, fly into the sky like a long rainbow through the sun, and disappeared from everyone's view in a blink of an eye.

If nothing else, this special bomb will explode in two seconds.

And if it is detonated at a high altitude, it will not hurt anyone.

"Great......"

Vivi sat on her knees on the ground with relief, tears sliding down her cheeks, causing ripples in circles of dust covering the ground.

Under the bell tower.

The Straw Hats widened their eyes and looked at the figure standing on the bell tower in shock.

"What a terrible power."

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, how could they have imagined that Maude's way of handling the cannonball was like throwing a small marble, directly throwing such a heavy cannonball into the air that was invisible to the naked eye.

However, the shells that could affect the entire square were finally resolved.

The Straw Hats suddenly relaxed.

If the cannonball detonates on the bell tower, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of people in the square will be wiped out in an instant, even they will have to die here.

"That's not right."

Usopp dropped his goggles with a farsighted effect and exclaimed, "The cannonball...... No explosions! ”

Before Maud threw the cannonball away, Usopp saw through his goggles that there were only about three seconds left on the timer on the cannonball......

But

Three seconds passed, and the shell that was thrown into the air did not detonate.

"No explosion?!"

The Straw Hats, who had just relaxed, suddenly tensed their nerves, and they couldn't hide their horror.

The ups and downs in just a few seconds made their expressions a little funny for a while.

on the bell tower.

Maud and Vivi are aware of this, too.

"No explosions?"

Vivi scrambled to her feet and ran to Maude's side, looking up at the motionless sky, but she couldn't see the shells at all.

Maude also looked up at the sky and said calmly: "It's true that there was no explosion, most likely Klockdahl set this bomb to a delayed explosion, it's really funny." ”

"If it doesn't explode in the sky, once the shell hits the ground, ......"

Vivi looked at the sky in despair, and didn't dare to imagine what it would be like after the cannonball hit the ground directly.

Maude raised her flintlock pistol with a white jade body and chuckled, "Then it has to be able to land......"

With that, Maud pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Armed buckshot flew into the sky with the sound of an arm-colored shot.

Vivi beside her, as well as the Straw Hats under the bell tower, watched Maude shoot into the sky.

At the moment of the gunshot, they realized almost simultaneously the reason why Maude had shot into the sky.

This is...... Want to blow up a shell far out of sight with one shot?

But how can this kind of thing be done?

Just as they were surprised by Maude's approach, a loud explosion suddenly sounded high in the sky.

Immediately afterward, a wave of air rushed from above the sky towards the ground, blowing the king's army and the rebels in the square to the back.

"It's really...... Is there anything that humans can do? ”

The shocked straw hats could only look up at the figure on the bell tower.

It's amazing.

on the bell tower.

Vivi covered her mouth and looked at Maude beside her in disbelief.

This man really did it......

Maude put away the gun, looked down at Weiwei's face that could not hide her shock, and said regretfully: "The explosion was prevented, but the war ...... It's going on. ”

Vivi was stunned and looked down at the square.

The king's army and the rebel army, which had been blown by the air waves, fought again after a short pause.

It's — the real red-eyed.

Even a violent explosion can't stop them!

"How can this be ......"

Vivi's face was so pale that she couldn't see a trace of blood.

"I don't want to see anyone bleed anymore......"

"So, please don't ...... Hit again!! ”

"Please don't fight anymore!!"

The sound that Vivi shouted with all her might was still drowned out by the deafening sound of fighting.

But all she could do now was keep shouting loudly, hoping that the sound would reach the square.

Maude looked at Vivi, who was about to collapse, and said calmly: "Words can lift people's hearts, but they can't persuade anger, and only heavy rain can extinguish the anger in their hearts right now." ”

As she spoke, Maude looked up at the clear sky.

In this kind of weather, if you don't use some unconventional means, how can you do it in an instant?

"If the rain doesn't come, then I'll do it."

Maud took a step forward.

Under Vivi's gaze, Maud stepped on the air plank path that stretched out from the shadow.

"Perona, come along."

Maud walked on the shadow air boardwalk, and what she said was heard by Perona, who had just floated up the staircase.

"Uh-oh."

Perona could only follow honestly, but she didn't know what Maude wanted to do next.
