Chapter 428 Maud is one step ahead

There is no way out, no end in death.

The autumn water and the mace counteracted, constantly bursting out black and red arcs.

The two condensed killing intents from Mord and Kaido, through the collision between the overlords, exuded an extremely terrifying aura around them.

The confrontation between the top powerhouses makes the world change color.

Kaido's dragon eyes were full of killing intent, and his eyes passed through the black-red arc and fell on Mord.

This latecomer in his eyes, I don't know when, already has the capital to confront him head-on.

Whether it's strength, or the entanglement of overlord...

Kaido's eyes became colder.

Maud must be killed here.

The thought was rendered by the violent killing intent.

Kaido suddenly opened his mouth in the form of a human and beast, and a scorching fire condensed in his mouth.

Whether it's a beast or a human beast, Kaido can freely mobilize the elemental abilities of the Azure Dragon Eudemons.

"Hot breath!"

The flame breath with high-temperature destructive power went straight to Maud's face.

Maud reacted extremely quickly, and at the moment when the flames of heat breath appeared, he activated the ability to shift shadows, and exchanged positions with the shadow markers arranged in advance.

That shadow mark is behind Kaido.

It was also quietly arranged by Maud when he was fighting the knife just now.

Swish-!

Maud, who used the ability to transform into shadows, disappeared out of thin air.

The heat breathed out by Kaido at close range was instantly lost, and flew into the distance in an instant.

at the same time.

Maud dodged and came behind Kaido, and the autumn water in his hand was flowing with black and red arcs.

And Kaido suddenly lost Qiushui's resistance, and the mace, which continued to pour its power, suddenly lost its resistance, suddenly fell, and smashed to the ground with a great force.

At this moment, the predictable picture is that Kaido's upper body will stagger forward as the mace falls, thus losing his balance.

At this point in time, for Maud,

Undoubtedly an excellent offensive opportunity.

It is also the value created by Maud using the ability of this Shifting Phantom.

However, Kaido, who pushed the experience to the extreme, did not give Morde any chance.

At the moment when Morde revealed his figure, he twisted his waist violently, using centrifugal force to turn the falling mace at the critical moment, and swung it towards Morde behind him.

There was a sudden burst of gas explosions in the air.

"It's 'prudent'..."

Maud's pupils shrank slightly, and Qiushui, who had been slashing towards the shadow behind Kaido, was helplessly blocked by the mace.

clang! ! !

Qiushui and the mace collided again, and sparks burst suddenly.

Black and red electric arcs representing the collision of the overlord colors spread out from the flashing sparks.

A violent wave derived from this, with Mod and Kaido as the center points, swept away towards the surroundings.

Along the way, the ground cracked and swelled.

Countless gravels were turned into powder in the air waves.

The weapons on both sides were tightly pressed against each other.

The wrestling only lasted for a moment.

Kaido, who used centrifugal force to temporarily complete a period of momentum, is even better in this competition.

The endless stream of surging power transmitted to the mace, abruptly knocked Morde back.

Maud didn't change his face, he touched the ground with his feet, and plowed two deep marks on the ground, calmly dispelling the strength of the blessing on his body.

After stabilizing his body, his red eyes were always locked on Kaido.

It's just that Kaido didn't choose to take advantage of the situation to pursue, but stood still.

"Shadow, hum... what a troublesome ability."

After Kaido spoke, he waved his mace, and a fierce force flew out, landing on the ground not far away.

Bang!

The ground was blasted with a big hole.

In the splashing dust, a shadow walked on the ground and quickly returned to Maud's feet.

This is a shadow mark placed by Maud near Kaido, but it is difficult to hide from Kaido's eyes.

After knocking the shadow mark away, Kaido retracted his mace and looked at Maud coldly.

Trick to attack the shadow directly...

In the last battle, this guy hadn't used it, and he obviously hid it on purpose.

If he didn't have a certain degree of understanding of the shadow ability, he might not be so eager to return to the defense just now.

After all...

Kaido has already regarded Morde as an opponent of the same level, and naturally he will not have any aggressive behavior, nor will he easily give Mord any chance to attack.

but.

Compared to the guy I met before who also ate the shadow fruit...

The shadow ability is in the hands of Maud, and it is so tricky that it is annoying from the bottom of my heart.

"Aren't you going to attack...?"

Seeing Kaido standing still, Maud's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately rolled up Qiushui and put it on his shoulders.

Since Kaido doesn't attack, it's up to him to take the lead.

Bang.

Maud stomped on the ground.

With a muffled sound, the ground suddenly cracked.

The impetus generated by this foot made Maud's body like electricity, rushing towards Kaido.

While rushing, he posed the starting gesture of dominance and barrier breaking.

at the same time.

The shadow avatar that was materializing was looming beside him.

In just a blink of an eye, the shadow clone completely appeared beside Maud, side by side with him.

The speed of one person and one shadow remains at the same frequency.

Under this premise, the shadow avatar suddenly pulled out the ferret long knife from Maud's waist, and then, like a reflection in the mirror, also posed exactly the same starting style.

Hegemony. Break the barrier!

On the way to dash forward, Maud and Shadow Clone slashed out a majestic shock wave at the same time.

Carrying a shock wave wrapped in a dazzling light, it flew straight towards Kaido, who was in front of him.

Kaido's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had no intention of backing down. The arm holding the mace suddenly swelled, and strips of blue veins stretched out on it.

"Thundering gossip!"

He poured all his strength into the mace, and immediately swung hard at the oncoming shock wave.

In an instant.

At the front end of the shock wave emitting a dazzling light, a series of irregular purple thunder patterns suddenly burst out.

It was Kaido's thunderous gossip, and with a rather difficult stance, he resisted the hegemonic barrier-breaking shock wave that seemed to devour everything along the way.

The two forces collided and rubbed against each other at great speed.

In the harsh beep, Kaido struggled to resist the shock wave, and blue veins appeared on his face, neck, and arms.

after all--

This move to dominate the country. Break the barrier is a move similar to the sea that was played by Maud and the shadow clone.

Without Charlotte Lingling's assistance, Kaido alone would not be able to achieve a balance of power in a head-to-head confrontation.

This is also...

Shadow Fruit is the most significant ability effect in the later stage.

Facing the mighty hegemony and breaking the barrier, Kaido was finally unable to support himself.

The purple thunder pattern that spread like branches and leaves from the front of the shock wave finally weakened in the face of the more powerful light, and finally disappeared.

The shock wave ran over Kaido's body like this, and then moved away into the distance, leaving a deep ditch on the ground.

After the dazzling light of the shock wave disappeared from the field of vision, Kaido was lying on his back in the deep ditch, motionless.

Suspended above the terrifying three-masted ship.

The Straw Hats and Bonnie looked at Kaido, who was lying in the deep ditch, with shock in their eyes.

"Okay, terrible power, I don't know if my 'barrier' can stop it..."

Bartolomeo stared blankly at the huge deep ditch that was run over by the hegemonic barrier breaking, and stammered.

This kind of power has already exceeded his cognition.

"Is this really a move that humans can use?"

Sanji took a deep breath, and the smoky smoke covered his dignified brows.

Nami folded her hands, opened her eyes to look at Maud below, and sighed sincerely: "Maud is so strong..."

"That's my master!"

"Even monsters of the level of the Four Emperors have fallen behind."

"That's my master!"

"Maud's strength has been getting stronger... but the speed at which it gets stronger is extraordinary!!!"

"That's my master!"

Usopp kept emphasizing on the side.

"Bang!"

Nami couldn't hold back and punched Usopp directly.

Usopp screamed.

He wanted to say something, but under Nami's aggressive eyes, he could only cover the swollen lump on his head pitifully.

Luffy and Zoro stared silently at Maud.

The former clenched his fists secretly, while the latter clenched the handle of the unsheathed saber.

Since they met Maud, things called setbacks and gaps have been rooted in their hearts.

Although they will not be discouraged by this, and will inspire a stronger fighting spirit, and vow to surpass Maud in the face of difficulties.

But the reality is, after all, skinny.

The almost crazy training has indeed increased their strength rapidly.

Many times, it even feels like one step closer to Maud.

But every time the facts presented in front of them inevitably make them feel powerless.

Yes……

Although they were running on the road of becoming stronger, Maud never stopped getting stronger.

Moreover, on the road of becoming stronger, this man is not running at all, but flying...

How can such a monster be surpassed?

Maud is like an unreachable mountain, which weighs heavily on the hearts of Luffy and Zoro.

But, do you have to give up climbing if you can't see the top of the mountain?

It's not their style.

Even if the gap is desperate, they must grit their teeth and chase after them.

The transition between emotions caused clusters of flames to emerge from the eyes of the two men.

not far away.

Bonnie glanced at Luffy and Zoro.

"Hey, a creature like a man..."

She pouted, then turned her eyes to Maud.

The memory box was suddenly opened.

She remembered how she used to watch the fun in the Chambord Islands and was almost killed by Maud.

Compared to then...

The current Maud is the real scary one.

The three old seniors, Rayleigh, Jabba, and Shaqi, who were on the edge of the terrifying three-masted ship, were also enjoying the style of Maud at the moment.

"Unconsciously, it has grown to such a degree, little Maud..."

Xia Qi smiled, flicking his fingertips, and a little soot wafted in the wind.

Reilly and Jabba did not speak.

But they looked into Maud's eyes, which were shining brightly.

under.

outside the battle circle.

"It's the first time I've seen... that bullhorn orangutan lost in a head-to-head battle."

Yamato was surprised at first, and then couldn't hide his excitement.

She has challenged Kaido countless times, and she is most aware of Kaido's terrifying suppressing power in head-to-head combat.

It was a powerful force that made people feel powerless and despairing, and it had knocked her down countless times.

And now-

The man she was looking at at the moment possessed more suppressing power than Kaido.

At Yamato's side, Hiyori was also staring at Maud.

Her eyes frequently fell on the autumn water.

The Dragon Slaying Blade, known as the National Treasure of the Wano Kingdom, is now in the hands of the man in front of him who said he would come to slay the dragon.

She didn't know how Qiushui fell into Maud's hands.

but--

Now, she sincerely hopes that Maude will be able to reproduce the legend of Wano Country - Slaying the Dragon!

Another battle circle.

When the members of the Beast Pirates who were fighting with Lafayette and the others heard the earth-shattering movement, they inevitably noticed Kaido lying in the deep ditch.

"how can that be……!!!"

Quinn's heart shook, and her fat face was full of disbelief.

How could Mr. Kaido, who is widely rumored to be the strongest creature in the sea, land and air, lose in a head-to-head confrontation? ? ?

Absolutely impossible! ! !

Quinn could not accept this fact.

Or.

He couldn't accept that Maud was strong enough to suppress Kaido in a head-to-head confrontation.

Hearing the movement, the members of the Hundred Beasts Pirates, headed by the six sons of the volley, Black Maria, who rushed to the battlefield quickly, happened to see Kaido's failure to block the hegemony and break the barrier.

"Boss Kaido turned out to be..."

The faces of the members of the Hundred Beast Pirates were filled with indescribable shock.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, how could they believe that the boss Kaido, who leads the Beast Pirates and is called the strongest creature by the world, is actually at a disadvantage in face-to-face moves.

"Ah la la."

Aokiji, who did not participate in the battle, rarely regained his energy, and said with emotion: "As expected, you can't miss this battle."

For Aokiji, instead of participating in the battle, it is better to watch the battle between Mord and Kaido without distractions.

There are also Jaya, Jinbei, and Perona who are not involved in the team battle.

Although this battle has just started, they already firmly believe that Maud will definitely win this battle.

"Leave the future of Fishman Island to Maud..."

Jinping's heart was turbulent, and he whispered to himself: "King Neptune, this old man believes that this decision is correct."

within the battle circle.

Kaido got up from the deep ditch, his face slightly ugly.

He was covered in a lot of dust and looked rather embarrassed.

Of course, he could not be defeated by a single move when he was able to resist the hegemony.

The thunder and gossip that had previously bombarded the shock wave, although it failed to defuse the offensive, it also weakened a lot of power.

So after a hard resistance, he in the human-beast form was only slightly injured.

In the face of the recovery power of the awakened Eudemons, such an injury is nothing at all.

but--

It is also a fact that he was suppressed by Maud in a head-on confrontation.

Realizing that he can't fight against Mord's hegemony. After breaking the barrier, Kaido will never fight against the hegemony. Breaking the barrier in the next battle.

"Bad wind!"

Kaido regrouped, waved his mace, and slashed several wind blades towards Morde.

at the same time.

He followed the wind blade and quickly rushed towards Maud.

This top battle has just begun.
