Chapter 30 Observation is for Learning
squeak--!
The blade named Cat's Claw slashed through the iron gate and pointed at Maud's throat.
Maud took two steps back at the right time, and easily avoided the ultimate move.
Then, the iron gate of the fence that was cut off by the cat's claws fell to the ground, 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 Crow who was wearing a murder weapon at the gate in amazement.
How is this going?
Even if he didn't hear the sound, Crow could feel the startled gazes coming from behind him.
He ignored it and looked at Maud coldly.
"Thanks to you, the group of people in the back won't survive today."
"yes."
Maud smiled softly.
That disrespectful attitude made the killing intent in Crow's eyes even stronger.
Silent step!
Chloe's body swayed slightly, and in silence, his figure suddenly disappeared.
"It's used."
Maud's eyes glowed red, and with the blessing of seeing and hearing, he was able to see Crow's movements clearly.
"Behind you..."
Mo De suddenly turned around and kicked out.
As soon as his foot was kicked out, Crow just showed his body.
Bang-!
This kick kicked directly on Crow's abdominal cavity.
Crowru was hit hard, his body bent like a shrimp and flew out, landing on the ground and rolling several times before stopping.
"This person... puff!"
Chloe's heart was shocked, and when he straightened his upper body, he couldn't help spitting out a large mouthful of thick blood on the ground.
In order to prevent Maud from attacking, Crow quickly stood up despite the pain.
However,
Maud neither drew a knife, nor made a heavy hand, nor did he pursue the victory.
Otherwise, as long as he wraps the armed color on the foot just now, it is enough to end the battle.
"continue."
Maud smiled and looked at the embarrassed Chloe.
That kind of silent footwork, he wanted to watch it 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 a level that is almost silent, but it can also guarantee the speed of an instant burst.
To talk about the disadvantage, that is, the upper limit is not as good as shaving.
After all, we have to take into account the sound problem, so the explosive force is definitely not as strong as shaved.
But in contrast, the difficulty of using silent footwork is more inclined to the skill, rather than the convenience brought by the tyrannical physique.
"Are you... humiliating me?"
Crow didn't know what Maud was thinking, and the killing intent on his face was solid.
"As you wish."
Maud wrote lightly.
Crow didn't say more, and his figure disappeared in a flash.
In the air, there was a faint sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air.
Maud turned sideways, easily dodging Krona's murderous attack.
at the same time,
There were inexplicably several slash marks on the surrounding ground, but Crow never showed his figure, but the sound transmitted in the air became more and more obvious.
"It's speeding up, the offensive is indeed a lot stronger, but..."
Maud jumped abruptly, and once again easily avoided Crow's shadowless attack.
"While speeding up, the suppression of sound is obviously not as good as before."
"In this way, the threat is reduced."
"Well, it turned out to be pushed with the toes, like a drop of water falling on the water, no wonder the movement can be so soft."
"Only by doing this can the sound be minimized..."
"Unfortunately, in order to strengthen the offensive, it is a bit of a sacrifice."
Maud watched attentively the footwork Chloe used.
The silent footwork that uses the toes to step on the ground at high speed is really amazing.
But the principle of using the entire sole of the foot on the ground in order to speed up later, there is a sense of shaving being used.
In contrast, Maud prefers silent footwork.
After watching it for the most part, it's time to end the hunt.
Maud listened to the frequent bursts of air from the surrounding air, and there was a killing intent in his eyes.
"It's almost there. Although I don't know if I can learn it yet, thank you anyway, Captain Crow."
After saying that, Maud suddenly stretched out his armed palms to his side and pinched the neck of Crow who was moving at a high speed.
In an instant, Crow showed his figure, and the noisy voice around him suddenly disappeared.
Choked by one hand, Chloe's eyes shrank, and his eyes were full of astonishment when he looked at Maud.
He had heard what Maud had just said.
It was also at this time that he understood the reason why Maud had not taken action.
Is it to learn my... Shadowless Step?
Click!
Maud snapped Chloe's neck.
Chloe's face froze, and the luster in his eyes quickly dimmed.
Mord let go of his hand and let Crow's body fall softly to the ground.
"Clabartel!!!"
An anxious male voice came from the courtyard of the mansion.
A middle-aged man with a slightly fatter figure came hurriedly.
A dozen people followed behind him, mostly servants in the mansion.
This middle-aged man is Ke Ya's father, and the one who took the initiative to take in Chloe with a kind heart.
"Why do you want to kill Krabatel!"
Looking at Crow's body, the middle-aged man glared at Maud.
Among the servants who followed him, several bodyguards had already pulled out their flintlock guns.
Maud was already prepared, took out Klo's reward order from his coat, and turned his face to the crowd.
"The Krabatel you know is actually Crow, the captain of the notorious Black Cat Pirates, and I am Captain Wolf Mouse. Considering your personal safety, I made this decision."
"How, how could it be..."
The crowd looked at the bounty in shock.
After understanding it, they couldn't help feeling chills when they thought that they had been with a murderous pirate for a year.
"If I have offended you, please forgive me. I have to bring the body back to my life, so I won't bother you any more."
Maud left a reward order, and then mentioned Chloe's body, with a gesture of wanting to return to life as soon as possible, turned around and left.
"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 Maud. Due to his hurry, he didn't even notice that he had used the honorific title.
"No thanks, this is my duty as a navy."
Maud dropped a sentence, then quickened his pace to leave.
Everyone looked at the figure of Maud's departure, and their faces could not help but be filled with admiration.
"I'm really lucky to have such a powerful young navy in the East China Sea!"
The middle-aged man sighed sincerely.
Maud had gone far away and did not hear the middle-aged man.
He carried Chloe's body past a big tree by the road.
Usopp, who was holding the binoculars, came out from behind the big tree and looked carefully at the corpse in Mordetti's hands.
Maud glanced at Usopp and asked, "How did you feel about the battle just now?"
"Uh, that, I didn't see clearly..."
Usopp touched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"I'm asking what you think, not if you've seen it clearly."
"Well, this guy suddenly disappeared out of thin air just now, and it shocked me. It gave me the feeling that it was like a monster, but you are still more powerful, hehe!"
"That's a kind of footwork. As long as you work hard, you can do it in the future."
Maud looked ahead.
Deliberately keeping my hands to observe the footwork used by Crow is not purely for insight, but to learn this technique.
Before Lafayette and the others come back, try to practice that silent footwork while teaching Usopp.
Hearing Maud's words, Usopp became excited again, and could not wait to start training from now on.
It's just that he didn't know that Maud would only stay here for about twenty days.
