Chapter 57: Beyond Everyone's Expectations

This battle on the top of the world, which the world focuses on, is undoubtedly the largest war since the beginning of the era of pirates.

Whatever the final result, it will leave a strong mark on history.

And Maude's brilliant shot opened the curtain on this unprecedented war.

Countless eyes from all over the world briefly focused on Maude.

On the harbor, on the square.

The navy watched the smoke and fire on the sea in the distance, and their momentum could not help but be invigorated.

Fortunately, such a gun is in his own camp.

The navy turned their eyes and looked at Maude's back in unison.

Sensing countless eyes falling on him, Maude quietly raised the muzzle of the gun with wisps of smoke.

One shot, two bullets.

The light is buckshot, and the darkness is shadow.

Even the powerhouses of the New World who don't know the details will be tricked, which is probably the beauty of the Shadow Fruit's auxiliary route.

Maude, however, doesn't feel anything to be proud of in this technique.

The eyes of the partial students who looked from the surroundings were all so shocked.

Maud looked at the smoke on the sea in the distance, and from the explosion to the present, he did not receive experience points.

Think about it too.

Even if the explosion came suddenly, with the physique of a sea pirate in the New World, it would not be so simple to be killed.

At this moment,

The pirates under the command of Whitebeard, who was closest to the explosion, used their skillful skills to rescue the pirates such as Dilaxie who fell into the sea.

"Ahem."

Delaxie climbed into his companions' boat, clutching his chest and coughing violently.

He had extensive burns on his face and even on his right arm.

The violent explosion at close range just now obviously injured him a lot.

Not to mention the other weaker crew members, it can be said that there are a lot of casualties.

"Do you have the strength to fight?"

The man who rescued him looked worried.

Delaxie struggled to stop coughing violently and squeezed a word out between his teeth: "Yes." ”

Then, he looked silently at the wreckage of the ship floating on the surface of the sea and the bodies of the crew members who had been salvaged, and his heart was full of grief.

"It's all my fault."

The tragic result of a momentary negligence made Delaxie blame himself.

"Don't blame yourself."

Kalma, a fish-man with an octopus head, came up to Draxie and said in a deep voice, "It's not your fault, it's that the enemy's attack is so weird that even we didn't notice the dark bullet that was hidden silently. ”

“……”

Daraksi shook his head.

The opponent's attack is indeed strange, it is only a single shot, but it can distinguish two bullets that are fired in opposite directions.

In particular, the pitch-black bullet that was hidden the deepest, did not even make a sound when it was flying.

But in the final analysis, it was because he was too arrogant, and as a result, he made the beloved ship and crew who had been fighting with him for many years bear the consequences.

Seeing Delaxi's depressed expression, the nearby captains comforted him.

This kind of unexpected result is something that no one could have imagined before it happened.

After all, the guy who fired this shot had never broken into the New World.

On the premise of not knowing enough, there is no way to get hit.

"Speed up!"

Deeply aware of the long-range sniper threat posed by Maude, Whitebeard's fleet responded, using artificial assistance to speed up the voyage to the Crescent Harbour of Marinfando.

however

Maud didn't plan to fire a second shot after firing the first shot.

Long-range sniping is good, but without teammates to distract the enemy, it is tantamount to a fantasy to kill this group of new world powerhouses with long-range sniping.

moreover

The shadow stray bullet just now was enough to make the other party more vigilant.

If you use it again, it is estimated that it will not have such a good effect.

After weighing the pros and cons, Maude didn't waste his strength.

You know, wrapping domineering around buckshot and then hitting it is more laborious than simply covering domineering on a melee weapon.

Maud hung the ferret's spear back on her waist.

The navy couldn't help but be a little disappointed when they saw Maude put away their guns.

They were also waiting for Maud to fire a few more shots before destroying one more enemy ship.

As a result, Maud only took one shot and stopped.

"Huh?"

The navy, who was watching Maude nearby, suddenly let out a startled sound.

They saw that after Maude put away the gun, he turned to pull out a long black and red knife with a rather textured texture, and put the back of the long knife against his shoulder, and put it on a dangerous starting pose.

"What does Maud want to do again?"

Before the Whitebeard Pirates appeared, Maude's actions attracted the attention of the navy.

Including the Seven Martial Seas beside Maude, they also looked at Maude with strange eyes.

Both sides of this war are obviously still in a state of imminent eruption.

Maude, however, is both a gun and a knife......

So, what do you want to do this time?

"Is the knife ......?"

Hawkeye looked at Maude, who was gathering the knife momentum, raised his eyebrows slightly, and noticed something, so he subconsciously used it to see and hear.

After a breath, nothing was noticed.

With the enemy's Grand Fleet not yet in the range of artillery bombardment, and the Whitebeard Pirates not yet showing up, Maude's position has undoubtedly become the focus of the audience again.

"Gollum-"

At this moment, there was an inaudible sound of bubbles at the bottom of the sea.

"Huh?"

The sound of the bubble was still deep at the bottom of the sea, but the three generals on the high platform caught the movement almost simultaneously.

Including the Warring States on the execution table, and the lieutenant generals who are proficient in seeing and hearing below, they are also aware of the movement coming from the bottom of the sea.

"No......"

Sengoku looked down at the still calm sea in the harbor, and a few beads of sweat slipped from his face as he expected the result for a moment.

The details that I vaguely felt missing before suddenly became clear at this moment.

Below the execution table, Karp and Tsuru looked at the sea at the same time.

"It's really out of an unexpected place."

"Little crane, we made a mistake in the formation......"

“……”

After a few seconds, bubbles from the depths of the ocean floor burst to the surface, making a distinct sound.

"Eh, this voice ......"

"It's in the harbor!"

Most of the navies looked out to the surface of the harbor and saw large shadows emerging from beneath the water.

"Could it be...... ...... from under the water"

Looking at the increasingly clear shadows beneath the water's surface, the navy was shocked.

"Boom!"

As if to confirm the navy's speculation, the sea suddenly swelled into the sky.

Four large ships with coated whale heads rushed out of the sea and floated steadily on the surface of the harbor in a 10,000-shaped formation.

And the ship facing the execution table in the square is the main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Moby Dick!

The Whitebeard Pirates, who appeared in the harbor in an unexpected way, broke into the eyes of everyone present.

Smack!

As the ship burst out of the sea, the bubble wrap covering the hull burst.

And at this moment-

A sudden roar directly drowned out the sound of the bubble wrap bursting.

"Hegemon."

Just when everyone was surprised by the way the Whitebeard Pirates appeared, Maude, who had already gathered momentum, pinched the right time to swing at the Whitebeard on the bow of the Moby Dick to slash out the overlord.

Like a comet, a powerful shockwave wrapped in white light came to Whitebeard in an instant.

The audience was stunned.

Don't......

The man in front of him predicted the movements of the Whitebeard Pirates one step ahead of everyone else?!

Otherwise, how can you put up a position in advance?

Just when most people were stunned, Maude swung out a column-shaped shockwave that swallowed the whitebeard on the bow of the Moby Dick.

Between the lightning and flint, the atmosphere directly in front of the Moby Dick suddenly cracked a series of substantial light marks, even with a columnar shock wave.

Click!

The atmosphere and even the condensed shock wave shattered into countless pieces like glass in an instant.

Behind the scattered debris, it was Whitebeard who maintained his punching stance.

"Daddy!"

On the Moby Dick, the crew, including the captain, first glanced at the unharmed whitebeard, and then looked at Maud on the shore of the harbor in amazement.

This guy ......

Is it seeing and hearing?

No, it was in the form of prediction that the timing was right!

If it weren't for Daddy's quick response, they would have to suffer a small loss for anything.

"Even the wise general Sengoku looked surprised, but this guy was ready to attack in advance!"

The captains, led by Marko, were secretly frightened.

"Gollum la ......"

At the bow of the boat, Whitebeard laughed loudly, slowly retracted his fists, and swept straight towards Maude, who was maintaining a knife posture on the shore of the harbor.

"Hegemon...... What a chic way to welcome, little. Ghost. Head. ”

"Whew-"

Under the attack of Whitebeard's eyes, Maude was not affected at all, let out a long breath, and said regretfully: "I thought I could catch you off guard, it seems that I thought too much......"

When the power of the hegemon and the power of the shock canceled each other out, the eyes of everyone present wandered between Maud and Whitebeard.

The man who had just fired a stunning shot took the lead in attacking Whitebeard in a way that surprised everyone.

Although the attack was finally defused by Whitebeard, the mighty hegemon still left a deep impression on everyone.

Hawkeye took a deep look at Maude, and then all his attention was on Whitebeard.

The man who is known as the strongest in the world can arouse the interest of countless strong people in the world.

Naturally, including his Eagle Eye.

"Gollum!"

Whitebeard didn't answer, his gaze paused for a moment on Maude, and then turned to look at Ace on the execution table.

"My beloved son, are you alright?"

"Daddy!!"

Ace looked at his companions and dad who appeared one after another, and instead of feeling happy, his heart was full of worry and remorse.

Sengoku stared at the majestic man standing on the bow of the Moby Dick.

"Whitebeard ......"
