Chapter 243 Not Now, It Will Be Later (2 in 1)
Kaido, who changed back into human form, instead showed a stronger deterrent than his blue dragon form.
The horizontal mace coiled with purple thunder light exudes a heart-pounding and dangerous aura.
This is the sense of oppression possessed by the Four Emperors who reigned at the top of the world.
And Maud is also not to be outdone, and at the same time unlocking the physical restrictions, he has various gain abilities on his body.
Clang——
Maud raised his left arm horizontally, with the autumn water frame on it, and then pulled back slightly, rubbing out bursts of sparks.
The sharp-edged Autumn Water knife pointed directly at Kaido in front of him.
The aura of slaying the dragon is unmistakable.
Qiushui is the black knife that cut through the dragon.
"Oh?"
Kaido didn't shoot at the first time, but was attracted by the autumn water that Morde put on his left arm.
Even though it was wrapped in armed colors and shadows, there was still a hint of deep red on Qiu Shui Dao's body.
For some reason, Kaido felt a tingling sensation just by staring at Qiushui.
And the breath emanating from the knife made him inexplicably unhappy.
"This knife..."
A fierce look appeared on Kaido's rough face.
Acupuncture is good or unpleasant.
To get rid of all the unpleasant things is...
Thunder gossip!
Kaido moved suddenly, and his figure disappeared out of thin air.
That was an extremely fast speed that was completely incompatible with a sturdy body!
The purple electric light wrapped around the mace was compressed into a straight thin ray that was faster than lightning, heading towards Maud in an instant.
In an instant, an extremely strong sense of crisis, like a viscous mire spread all over Maud.
Maud was shocked,
The color of seeing and hearing was pushed to the extreme, and red light burst out in his eyes.
Then--
There is no room for hesitation or judgment, and the autumn water on the left arm is like an arrow from the string that shoots accurately forward.
clang! ! !
The tip of the autumn water knife, which stabbed forward for a distance, stabbed the mace that Kaido swiped between extreme motion and extreme stillness.
The two forces from different directions collided head-on.
Immediately, a burst of clanging sound resounded through the sky, and purple lightning and black-red arcs flickered back and forth on the mace and Qiu Shui Dao.
The resulting residual power, while setting off a surging air wave, shattered countless cracks in the surrounding ground.
The movement that erupted from such a head-to-head confrontation made everyone present, except Aokiji, involuntarily show a dignified expression.
"This is... the power of the Four Emperors!"
Looking at Maud and Kaido who were competing for strength and domineering on the court, Urki slowly oozes fine sweat on his forehead.
No one spoke around.
Even everyone under the Mord Pirates outside the battle circle, as well as Sanji, watched the confrontation between Mord and Kaido with shock.
"Ah la la..."
Aokiji looked blankly at Kaido in the center of the confrontation, his palms were cold, and he was ready to attack at any time.
The targeted killing intent emanating from him was not concealed in the slightest.
In a duel with others, if there is a general staring at him next to him, he will definitely not be able to concentrate.
But Kaido didn't have any worries, and devoted himself to the thunderous gossip that was swung towards Mord.
"Oh giggling, I blocked it, but..."
Kaido's selective and gnawing eyes crossed the flashing arc and landed on Mord's frowning face.
"You should already feel the difference, whether it is strength or domineering!!!"
Kaido let out a loud roar, and the mace on the tip of Qiu Shui Dao suddenly erupted with even more violent power.
"Um?!"
Maud's eyes shrank sharply, but he couldn't resist the power transmitted from the mace.
The confrontation formed by the autumn water fell apart in a blink of an eye.
boom!
Accompanied by a deafening explosion of air.
Kaido is like swinging a bat, and through the force acting on Qiu Shui Dao, he knocks Morde into the air.
boom-
Maud's body flew out backwards, pulling out circles of air waves visible to the naked eye, flying hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye.
"captain……!"
"Maud..."
The crowd was startled.
Just by listening to the continuous explosion of gas, you can know how terrifying the power exerted on Maud.
high in the sky.
Maud looked calm, and the scenery he could see in his field of vision became blurred under his super-high-speed motion.
"The more you get to the later stage, the more obvious the gap of half a star..."
"Therefore, whether it is strength, domineering, or even physique... There is indeed a clear gap between me and Kaido."
"It's different from the feeling when facing Whitebeard. This is... the power of the Four Emperors at their peak."
Between the lightning and flint, Maud's thoughts turned.
Then, he used Displacement.
Swish!
Maud returned to the spot in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, using the characteristics of changing positions, the impact force originally applied to the body is transferred to the shadow medium used to exchange positions.
At this moment, Kaido still maintained the action of swinging his mace, and then the empty door was exposed.
Dragon Slash!
Maud slashed Kaido's body with his sword.
Black and red arcs flashed away.
the next moment.
Maud appeared behind Kaido, maintaining a slashing motion.
at the same time.
A small amount of blood spattered in front of Kaido.
A bloodstain appeared on his bare chest.
"Ooh, it's pretty good."
Kaido slowly turned around and looked at Maud.
As for the small wound that was cut open on the chest, he naturally ignored it.
However, Maud has the ability to hurt him.
This alone is enough to make Kaido in pursuit of "perfect death" excited.
"..."
Maud did not speak, silently looking at the bloodstain on Kaido's chest.
Although it can split Kaido's defense, but... it's too shallow.
With the self-healing ability of the awakened animal system, this level of injury is like nothing.
If that's the most damage he can do to Kaido.
Then, the odds of winning are zero.
"A monster that reigns at the apex of the new world..."
Maud's eyes gleamed brightly.
He wouldn't be discouraged even if it could only cause minor damage to Kaido.
On the contrary, at this moment, he is full of anticipation for the future.
No matter how powerful the enemy in front of him is, one day, it will become the road he has walked, the stone he has stepped on.
Until, he was the only one who existed within the radius.
If not now, it will be later.
Maud has absolute confidence.
The fighting spirit suddenly poured out like a torrent.
The autumn water in his hand suddenly made a clear sound.
"I almost forgot, you killed a dragon, right, Qiushui..."
Maud glanced at Qiushui and smiled: "Then try again, it doesn't matter until you are exhausted."
With that said, Maud raised his hand to signal Aokiji and even Jaya and others further away to stay out of the way for the time being.
This is an opportunity to go head to head with the Four Emperors to clear the gap.
Regardless of victory or defeat, Maud must clearly understand the gap.
Seeing Maud's gesture, Aokiji and Jaya were slightly surprised.
Although they couldn't understand what Maud did, they did it and didn't go straight into the field.
Kaido also saw Maud's gesture, and according to the movements of Aokiji and the others, he immediately understood what Maud meant.
This is to fight him one-on-one.
Moreover, this overflowing self-confidence makes him quite appreciate.
"Ooooooooooo!"
Kaido burst out laughing.
He came all the way tonight to remove Maud's fishbone from his teeth.
But the courage that Maud is showing now makes him suddenly change his mind.
"It would be a pity to let you die here. Why don't you come to my pirate group. You will have a place in the top cadre."
Kaido raised his mace and put it on his shoulders, and he seemed to be able to ignore all the gaps and hatreds.
This is Kaido's tough style as the Four Emperors.
The outstanding cadre-level combat power under his command was also convinced by his demeanor.
However, how can a person with a tyrannical color easily succumb to others.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Maud's mouth.
His answer was a hegemonic slash that flew towards Kaido.
"Is that your answer?"
Kaido restrained his laughter, waved his mace casually, and flew the hegemonic nation in the form of the oncoming crescent slash.
"Your prestige is far from Lingling's."
After taking away Morde's hegemony, Kaido's eyes once again showed a ferocious look.
He cherishes talent and is keen to recruit powerful combat power.
But he is also quite discerning, seeing that it is impossible for Maud to worship under his command, and decisively inspired the murderous intention.
Thunder gossip!
Without warning, Kaido launched another killer move.
Purple lightning flashed by.
Still at an extreme speed.
In front of this kind of raid speed, the lack of level of knowledge is simply a decoration.
Before the spectators could see clearly what happened, they saw a dazzling spark from the autumn water in Morde's hand.
Immediately afterwards, the clothes on Maud's upper body suddenly cracked.
Straws of blood sputtered from the crack in the clothes.
at the same time.
Kaido's figure appeared dozens of meters behind Maud, maintaining a posture of waving his mace.
"It hurts."
With his back to Kaido, Maud grinned, not looking injured at all.
Even if Morde blocked Kaido's thunder and gossip just now, there would still be a shocking energy wrapped in armed color across the autumn water and hit him in the body.
This is the effect of the top armed color.
For decades, the only person who has used this weaponized technique to the extreme is Roger One Piece.
However, Kaido incorporated this technique into the thundering gossip, and supplemented it with the thunder attribute ability that the Qinglong Eudemons species possessed that could produce a speed-up effect.
Even if it's still not at Roger's level, it's not far off.
With Maude's current domineering nine-star level, it is not easy to block the next time.
A few more times, and the fault tolerance rate just keeps going down.
Maud knows this.
"Then, it's my turn."
Maud's eyelids drooped slightly, and as he turned back, his toes stood on the ground.
spoon!
Maud's figure disappeared instantly.
Above the flat ground, the dust moves automatically without wind, as if ripples are swaying.
Kaido's eyes flashed red, and he could easily see Morde's movements.
His arm suddenly exerted force, and he swung his mace to hit the empty side.
If Maud does not have the ability to exchange positions with the shadow media, then Kaido's seemingly unpredictable stick will hit Maud's head precisely.
Shadow Spoon!
Before Maud's figure was revealed, he switched places with the previously released shadow medium.
Kaido's stick hit the empty spot without incident.
At this moment, Maud appeared behind Kaido.
Cut shadows!
Maud slashed at Kaido's shadow.
However, Kaido thumped his backhand and hit Qiu Shui's knife.
clang!
Where the fists and knives meet, black and red electric arcs spread in the air.
Maud couldn't bear the force coming from Qiu Shui Dao and was sent flying by a punch.
At the same time, a small amount of blood spattered from Kaido's fist.
"Tsk... have you changed your fighting style? It seems that it won't be so easy for me to get hit."
In the process of flying backwards, Maud's thoughts moved.
The defense that Kaido did just now was completely different from the way he let Luffy and Zoro play at will.
This shows that he has put Maud in a position to face up to.
"It doesn't matter..."
Another transformation.
Maud returned to Kaido's side again and continued to try to cut shadows.
But Kaido didn't give him a chance at all, and a perfect defensive counterattack knocked him off again.
However, Maud did not give up and used the shadow to keep backtracking to Kaido's side.
The cold sword light woven by the autumn water quickly enveloped Kaido like a gust of wind.
It's a pity that Kaido no longer sticks to the rough fighting style he used to do, and he does a good job of defending and counterattacking.
Maud tried several times, but all came back in vain.
Realizing that the possibility of slashing Kaido's shadow was almost zero, Maud suddenly changed his formation and attacked Kaido's side.
The knife flashed.
A bloody arrow splattered from Kaido's shoulder.
Slashed, but still a very shallow wound.
After the knife succeeded, Maud did not stop there, seized the opportunity, and slashed Kaido with one knife after another.
chi chi-
Several bloodstains appeared on Kaido's body almost at the same time.
Maud wanted to maintain such a fierce offensive, but was interrupted by Kaido arrogantly.
Accompanied by a stick of purple thunder, it slammed into the autumn water.
The power passed from him added a few wounds to Maud's body and knocked him out again.
This time, Maud did not use the shadow to return to the original place to attack Kaido, but landed steadily.
tear it up-
Maud shreds the torn clothes hanging from his upper body at will.
The tattered tops were scattered on the ground in the wind.
"Stop playing."
After roughly figuring out the gap, Maud did not continue to fight.
The next thing to do is to smear all of your own combat power on Kaido's face.
This ends the dispute.
"Don't play anymore?"
Kaido looked at Maud, his eyes cold.
Maud smiled without saying a word, and with a thought, the ability of the shadow fruit was stimulated to the maximum.
Shadow Empire!
Under the night, above the earth.
The ubiquitous shadows responded to Maud's call, like streams and rivers converging into river tides, flowing behind Maud.
There was no earth-shattering movement.
Some are the shadowy mountains that quietly and silently rise behind Maud, dragging half of the island into the dark night.
On the other side of the island, is the silver-white earth without the slightest flaw.
"Awakened ability..."
Kaido looked coldly at the Shadow Empire standing behind Maud.
Just when Kaido focused his attention on Mord's Shadow Empire, Aokiji, who had been watching the battle for a while, finally made his move.
Because, the sentence "Don't play" that Maud just said is equivalent to an order to start a full-scale attack.
Freezing time!
A cold air hit Kaido's back.
clack clack-
Kaido's tall and strong body was instantly covered with a layer of ice.
At the same time, Aokiji, who was emitting cold air all over his body, showed his figure behind Kaido.
