Chapter 239
The tornado formed by the entanglement of Shadow Fist and Fire Fist eventually shattered into pieces.
The sand swept up into the sky fell, turning the flames into white smoke.
However, Maud's shadow reassembled into a group in the sand and rain, condensing a shadow clone with the same outline as the main body.
This "fist and fire" confrontation is regarded as a face-to-face interview with each other.
As far as the results are concerned, it can be said that they are not comparable.
But in terms of process, Maud took it too easily.
At least, Ace's "look and feel" thinks so.
After all, the fact that the gatekeeper moves are so easily reproduced is equivalent to saying in disguise: Your moves are not very good.
"Can shadow fruits still be used like this... It's really interesting."
Thanks to the famous Shichibukai of Moonlight Moria, who took up the role of shadow fruit ability, Ace didn't know much about shadow fruit, but he didn't know anything about it.
But it is with Moonlight Moriah as a comparison that Ace thinks that Mord's use of the shadow fruit ability is very novel and interesting.
"The fire fist doesn't work well, so what about this move..."
Ace's mouth curled into a smile, knees bent down, arms crossed in front of him.
Under the feet, the flames are born, forming a circle of vortices and expanding outward.
One meter, two meters, three meters, four meters...
After the diameter of the flame vortex broke through ten meters, it suddenly rose from the ground.
Ace raised his right hand, his palm seemed to be gravitational, attracting all the flames rising from the ground to his palm, and instantly gathered into a huge fireball with a diameter of more than ten meters.
"Great Flame Ring, Flame Emperor!"
A huge fireball emitting high temperature was thrown by Ace to Maud on the hill.
The fire brought the heat wave to Maud's face first, making his face flush red.
"This is the charm of the nature department..."
Looking at the huge fireball whistling, Maud did not retreat or advance.
Inexplicably flashed in my mind the picture of the green pheasant frozen for a hundred miles, but it was a little emotional.
I don't know if the shadow fruit will be as powerful as the natural system after awakening.
When the Great Flame Ring, Emperor Yan was about to come over,
Maud put away his emotions.
Between lightning and flint,
Draw the knife, cut out.
The seemingly simple and unpretentious knife suddenly brought a cylindrical shock wave that was no weaker than Emperor Yan.
Hegemony!
The dazzling light engulfed all the firelight reflected along the way.
In the face of this seemingly invincible impact, the Yan Emperor's fireball was powerless to resist, and was instantly crushed into a wave of flames.
Surrounded by the shock wave, the flame wave recoiled towards Ace.
"..."
When Ace saw this, his pupils shrank, and he was surprised to see the recoil wave of flames.
The real power lies not in this raging fire like a tidal wave,
Rather, it is the shock wave encased in it.
In an instant, Ace's body was swept in by the flame shock wave.
After swallowing Ace, the flame shock wave continued, and a huge ditch was rolled out on the sand and went straight into the distance.
After the Yuwei dissipated, there were many clusters of rootless flames burning quietly in the ditch, but Ace was nowhere to be seen.
"Dead, dead...?"
The Straw Hats stared blankly at the terrifying traces left behind after the collision between the hegemonic country and Emperor Yan, and an inexplicable chill appeared in their hearts.
The man standing on the sand dune thought he was a friend rather than an enemy.
Now it seems……
The threat he brings is far greater than the previous rock giant!
"Ace!"
The negative effects of the Negative Spectre were weakening, and Luffy saw Ace being annihilated into nothingness by the hegemony, and his eyes were split.
"Damn, you actually gave Ace to..."
"Hey, Luffy, I won't be killed so easily."
Just when Luffy was so angry that he wanted to beat Maud to death, Ace's voice came from the huge ditch.
The rootless fire that burned around in the ditch seemed to be lifted by a pair of invisible big hands, gathered together, and slowly kneaded into a human shape, thus revealing the appearance of Ace.
"Ace!"
Seeing that Ace is safe and sound, Luffy who was still angry a second ago, this will be crying with joy.
He really thought Ace was dead just now.
Just thinking about it makes my heart throb as if it were about to stop.
Maud was not surprised when he looked at Ace, who was not injured at all.
A move such as hegemony that is released outside the body, even if the power is amazing when it comes to the enemy's natural ability, as long as the opponent can react and make the body elemental in time...
So, basically no harm is done.
Furthermore, if Ace can be solved with one move to dominate the country, Ace will be blinded as the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"As expected of a capable leader of the Whitebeard Pirates."
Maud joked casually, and threw Luffy, who was in a great mood, to the position where Zoro and others were in the distance.
When he tied Luffy with shadow chains just now, Maud said he was going to take Luffy to the Admiralty, but he wasn't joking at all.
Before that, he really had the idea of sending Luffy to the execution platform.
In that case, it will not only drive Luffy's background forces to participate in the monstrous wave of the alternation of old and new eras, but also easily disturb Garp's mind.
And maybe it can create a... chance to kill the naval hero.
Had he decided to do so, Sabo wouldn't need to recover his memory.
But before that, Maud had already embarked on a plan to restore Sabo's memory.
Coupled with the relationship between Luffy and Shanks and Usopp, it is enough to kill the idea of Maud.
As for Ace, with Blackbeard as an early bird, how could Maud put himself in the position of being shot.
The reason why he is fighting against Ace now is that he does not want to miss the opportunity to fight against a strong man.
"The trial ends here."
After throwing Luffy, Mord held the flintlock pistol transformed from a ferret in his left hand.
A knife in one hand, a gun in the other.
It is the posture that can bring out the power characteristics of the shadow fruit to the extreme.
"That was a test just now???"
Hearing Maud's words, Zoro's group trembled.
Recalling the scene after the collision between the hegemony and the Emperor Yan suddenly deepened their depression.
Ace took a deep look at Maud, who was holding a gun.
Some things that are not visible at ordinary times can be seen clearly after a head-on battle.
In the two rounds just now, Ace didn't feel the slightest killing intent.
Yes, it's just pure fighting intent.
This made him understand something.
Just like him, who was constantly looking for opponents in order to become stronger as soon as possible.
"Haha, I haven't been so excited for a long time."
Ace raised his finger and raised the brim of his hat a little, only to feel the blood boiling all over his body.
So, who is stronger and who is weaker?
"boom--!"
Just as Ace's laughter died, Maud took the lead, raising his gun and firing a shot.
The buckshot wrapped in armed color came to Ace in a blink of an eye.
"Armed color..."
Ace did not dodge, but elementalized in advance, leaving a hole in his body for the lead bullet to pass through.
The armed colored buckshot pierced through the hole that Ace had voluntarily made in his body.
At the same time, Maud came with the buckshot and suddenly appeared behind Ace.
The autumn water blade slashed out.
As the dark sword light flashed away, Ace's head rose into the sky and immediately turned into a flame.
This knife did not hit.
In this regard, Maud had long expected, and backhanded the knife and swiped at the shadow behind Ace.
This is the real purpose of Maud after getting close!
