Chapter 15 A moment towards a higher level

on the square.

Maud was always in the square.

He was tall and straight, and his expression was calm.

Everyone who paid attention to Maud did not notice anything unusual.

Even Perona, who is floating beside Maud, is the same.

No one noticed that standing behind Maud in the center of the square...there was no shadow.

at the same time.

Inside the secret hall of the royal tomb.

Maud paced and leaned on the door edge, looking at Luffy who fell to the ground unexpectedly, and Crocodile who still had the power to fight.

Luffy was defeated.

This result was unexpected.

Maybe because of his arrival, something changed after all.

for example,

Let Luffy suffer one less Crocodile beating, so that Luffy failed to accumulate one more experience, so he failed to complete the last piece of the puzzle to defeat Crocodile.

However, it doesn't matter what.

"This place is really unique, and it's hidden enough."

Maud's eyes swept over the slightly flustered Crocodile, the comatose Cobra, the huge historical text, and finally fixed on the surprised Robin.

"If it wasn't for the 'shadow icon' I gave you, I really wouldn't have been able to find this place in the first place."

"Shadow..."

Robin was stunned for a while, and quickly realized what the shadow icon Maud said was that he subconsciously touched the striped gecko in his pocket.

Maud looked at Robin's movements and asked, "So, why didn't you 'call for help'? I don't think you'd be able to escape under these circumstances."

"..."

Robin was silent for a while.

When her last hope was lost, she had no motivation to search for the truth of history for nearly 20 years.

She was determined to die, and naturally she never thought of using the chance for help that Maud gave her.

"Forget it, the things are yours, whether you use them is your own..."

Maud shook his head slightly, and stopped abruptly halfway through.

In the corner of his eyes, where Crocodile was located, there were only wisps of yellow sand left.

But it was Crocodile who made his body elemental while Maud and Robin were talking, and immediately went around behind Maud at the fastest speed.

The golden hook with the poison inside is already ready to go.

If the sneak attack is successful, the danger will be saved!

Between the lightning and flint, Crocodile's eyes were wicked, and he stabbed Maud's vital point with a golden hook.

However, Maud seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He didn't turn around or look back. He just looked back with his backhand, and accurately grasped Crocodile's sharp golden hook with the poison inside.

"Um?"

Crocodile was taken aback.

The moment the hook was held by Maud, he realized that the hook didn't pierce Maud's skin.

Before the original text,

Robin was startled and lost his voice: "With bare hands...hold it...but over there..."

Before the words were finished, the sound of gold and stone resounded in the hall.

But it was Maud who broke the sting with his bare hands.

"It's quite decisive, Crocodile, yes, this is your 'only' chance to make a comeback, but you obviously didn't grasp it."

As soon as the voice fell, Maud turned around.

Instead of drawing a knife, he reached out and probed towards Crocodile.

Crocodile's face changed, his body instantly deserted, and he retreated quickly, trying to open the distance between him and Maud.

But Maud's hand was faster, directly strangling Crocodile's neck, in order to curb the elementalization phenomenon on Crocodile.

"This is... armed color."

The neck was restrained, Crocodile's pupils shrank, and when the trachea was squeezed by brute force, a mass of sand swirls condensed on the palm of his hand without the slightest stagnation.

How could Maud give Crocodile a chance to struggle to the death, and the other hand pulled out the autumn water directly and stabbed Crocodile's heart directly.

Pfft——!

The domineering Qiushui sword body wrapped in armed color came out directly from Crocodile's back, with a burst of blood.

"Uh……!"

Crocodile shuddered, staring straight at Maud who was close at hand.

The vitality was rapidly draining, and Crocodile's eyes drooped weakly, falling on Qiu Shui Dao who pierced his heart.

His expression gradually became hideous, and he seemed unable to accept the fact that he was about to die.

The sand vortex condensed in the palm of the hand is force majeure and vanishes.

The luster in Crocodile's eyes slowly dimmed.

Maud calmly looked at the hideous look on Crocodile's face.

First, he loosened the right hand that was holding Crocodile's neck, and then he quickly pulled back the autumn water, turned and walked towards the hall, while waving his arm to shake off the blood on the knife.

thump—

Behind Maud, Crocodile knelt on his knees, and then slowly fell forward to the ground, gradually forming a cloud of sand.

This pirate hero who has been galloping on the sea for many years died under the sword of Maud.

And when his vitality is cut off, the traces that can be left are turned into rich experience value gains, and follow a channel that no one can see, which is fed back into Maud's body.

In an instant, the sixth star representing the power of the Devil Fruit lit up!

This is also the moment when all four of Maud's ability values ​​crossed the six-star level and truly moved to a higher level.

For a moment, Maud, who accepted Crocodile's experience points, deeply felt that he was only one step away from invincibility.

But reason quickly shattered his unrealistic [views].

To be invincible, I am afraid that at least four requirements must reach nine and a half stars.

Maud shook his head slightly, wiped off the blood on Qiushui's body, and immediately returned Qiushui to its sheath.

Robin stared blankly at Crocodile's body.

just so dead...

It's as easy as blowing out a candle in one breath.

It made her feel like she was in a dream.

It wasn't until the sound of Maud's footsteps that Robin came back to his senses and looked up silently at the man in front of him who was unimpressive to resist.

Maud glanced at the injury on Robin's chest and said, "You are seriously injured."

Robin gave a wry smile, took out the antidote with difficulty, and said in a weak voice, "This is the antidote, which can relieve the scorpion venom in the straw hat boy."

Maud took the antidote and turned his head to look at the unconscious Luffy.

It turned out to be scorpion venom...

Maud did not detoxify Luffy immediately, but looked at Robin in front of him and asked, "Are you begging for death?"

Robin's eyes fell, and he was silent again.

Silence is the default.

Maud looked like a Robin with all his strength drained.

"For you now, it's easy to ask for death, but have you ever thought that once you die, the traces of O'Hara's existence will be completely forgotten by the world, and then disappear into the long river of history that no one knows about. ."

"you……"

Robin looked up sharply, looking directly at Maud.

Mo De's expression was as calm as water, and he said lightly: "I have no interest in the historical truth 800 years ago, but no matter what, as long as it is fortunate to be able to survive the 'fire', it is often precious."

"As long as you live, good things will happen."

"So, don't let yourself die too cheap, Nico Robin..."

With that said, Maud looked at the ancient words on the original historical text.

Robin, on the other hand, lowered her head, her eyes trembling violently, revealing her restless mood.
