Just now, they witnessed Maud's terrifying power when he passed by Hobson and then took off Hobson's head with his bare hands.
"Hobson, the gangster with a bounty of 48 million... was solved like this?"
"This is the strength of a bounty of over 100 million."
Many pirates looked shocked and couldn't help but look at Pike and Atali in front of the team.
At this moment, Pike and Atali's eyes were full of fear.
Gaining reputation by stepping on one's peers is often relative.
If you succeed, your reputation will naturally rise.
If you fail to step on it, it will become a stepping stone for the other party's reputation.
Pike dragged the dark red machete forward a few steps.
I thought that after joining forces, we would be sure of success, but now it seems...
Maud looked at Pike who was dragging his sword, slowly drew out the Chidori, and used the Silent Step again.
His figure suddenly disappeared.
Ripples of dust floated on the stone road like jellyfish stretching their bodies.
"coming!"
Veins popped out on Pike's arm holding the knife.
"Um?"
The ripples that came quickly from the stone road passed directly over him.
Immediately afterwards, bursts of screams suddenly came from behind.
Pike turned sharply.
The scene presented in front of me was full of weirdness.
There was no sight of the sword, no sound, and no sign of Maud.
However, each of his companions was inexplicably stabbed and fell to the ground.
Along with the screams, dazzling blood arrows shot out of the air.
On top of a building not far away.
Dell, who was bruised and swollen, was stunned and even forgot to press the shutter of the camera.
Beside him, a pirate man who was responsible for guarding him was also looking at the weird scene happening below in astonishment.
Chapter 43 Rational Analysis
People just disappeared into thin air.
However, the attacks continued.
"where?!"
Many pirates who came to defeat the Mod Pirates were facing formidable enemies.
They nervously looked around, trying to catch Maud's figure and movements with their eyes, so as to gain the so-called sense of security of "seeing the real thing".
However, what caught his eye was the invisible killing caused by the silent ripples.
Invisible people!
Invisible knife!
Just like that, he slashed hard on his companion's body, leaving a fatal wound.
It seems like... a "ghost" that cannot be seen with the naked eye, but is real.
This kind of existence is the most shocking and terrifying!
Seeing his companions die inexplicably, one pirate was the first to collapse.
"I can't stand it!"
The pirate abandoned the fight and fled.
A second ago, his companion who was only one step away from him was killed to the ground with a knife.
At that moment, he thought it would be his turn next.
However, the next person to be killed was another companion who was still more than ten meters away from him.
This ghostly and strange attack left him unable to resist.
He would rather face an astonishingly powerful attack than die in such an unclear death.
As soon as the desperate pirate took two steps, an obvious tear appeared in the clothes on his abdomen. Then, a blood stain appeared on the rough skin of his abdominal cavity, and blood gurgled down from it.
Soaked in blood, the intestines rolled out smoothly.
The pirate fell to the ground in shock.
The person who killed him was not Mod, who was using the Silent Step, but Atali, the captain of the Sausage Hunter Pirates.
"You're a loser who doesn't even have any consciousness, so don't come out and embarrass yourself."
Yatali kicked the corpse away, her heavily made-up face filled with the coldness of winter.
The man she killed was a member of the Pike Pirates.
But Pike would not be angry. On the contrary, he agreed with what Atali said at this time.
Desperados like them would have their heads stuck to their waistbands.
Only thinking about murder and robbery, but unwilling to face the risks and consequences that will follow
How can there be such a good thing in the world
But Parker didn't want to stop there.
Even if one day I die at the feet of others, it can’t be now!
"Yatali, go and restrain him!"
Seeing each of his accomplices die from invisible slashes, Pike looked at Atali calmly.
Among the people present, only the gut hunter Yatali was known for her speed.
If you want to stop Mod's invisible attack, only Atali can do it.
"Don't order me."
Yatali's eyes were cold.
As early as Mod turned on the silent quick-kill mode, she was already observing the possible breakthrough points in that mode.
As she watched, at least one accomplice fell every second.
However, these accomplices killed by Mod would not die meaninglessly.
At the very least, their deaths brought a lot of key information to Atali.
"This silent footwork is indeed weird and terrifying, but... it cannot completely conceal its traces."
Yatali noticed the circles of jellyfish-shaped dust ripples spreading on the stone road.
If it cannot be captured by the naked eye, the movement can only be judged through experience and instinct, such as the anticipatory punch of Blackhand Hobson.
Although the final outcome was miserable, Hobson did judge Moder's movements, so he was able to connect the attack at that time.
The other way is to use your eyes to follow the ripples on the stone road to determine where Maud will land next.
After coming to this conclusion, Atali glanced at her companions who fell on the ground.
"Moreover, although this kind of attack is strange and powerful, it is not accurate and has limited power."
Most of them died after being hit in the vital parts, while a small number were not hit in the vital parts, so they were only seriously injured and fell to the ground.
This result is enough to explain many problems.
Taking advantage of the sacrifices of her companions, Atali gradually figured out the shortcomings of silently killing enemies.
One point is the trace, the other point is the accuracy and power.
Of course, Atali did not ignore the advantages of this silent attack.
That is - high-speed direction change!
Types like Atali use the [Quick Kill Style] technique that uses speed as a support point.
Therefore, Atali knew very well that it was difficult to change directions flexibly while moving at high speed.
Whether it's the [Cat Walk] she invented or the [Shaving] often used by admirals, they are basically straight-forward ultra-high-speed footwork techniques.
Because she knew enough, after seeing Mod's ability to change flexibly, Atali was frightened, but also very envious.
She wondered how Maud did it.
It's a pity that Atali can't see and hear, so she can't see Mod's movements at all.
Even if she could see the essence of the Silent Step and imitate the techniques, it would be difficult to use this effect without the knowledge.
No matter what, she finally found a breakthrough point.
"The fun is just about to begin."
Yatali licked her red lips, her excited eyes pointed directly at the ripples on the ground.
It seemed that she could already see Maud's figure killing his accomplices in a graceful manner.
"Why don't you act quickly?"
Upon hearing Atali's declaration, Pike realized that the other party had found a way.
"Hoo ho."
At this moment, Lafayette's iconic laughter came from not far behind them.
Pike and Atali suddenly turned around and looked at Lafayette and Jim who were walking slowly, and Bailey who was stepping on Jim's bald head.
Mode's mind-catching offensive attracted the attention of many pirates, so much so that they almost forgot the existence of Lafayette and Jim.
Mod is not the only enemy.
Although he was ignored by the pirates, Lafayette would not be angry.
After all, it was his own captain who was stealing the show.
Pike looked at Lafayette and Jim coldly, and took a few steps forward with his knife.
Without any further explanation, Atali rushed towards Mod who was silently killing her accomplices.
At this moment, the members of the three pirate groups who were targeted by Mod did not sit still and wait for death.
Although they couldn't see Maude's movements, it didn't stop them from swinging their swords in the air.
There are so many of them, maybe a blind cat meets a dead mouse
If Captain Crowe came, he might actually hit the sword that happened to be slashing at him.
But Maud was different.
When using silent steps, you will definitely need the support of seeing, hearing and coloring.
In addition, Mod was not even willing to waste weapon color on this group of pirates.
That's why there was a power flaw that Atali noticed.
Although the pirates had countermeasures, they could not stop Mod's massacre.
As more and more of their fallen accomplices fell, they felt helpless.
Invisible enemies, invisible attacks.
How can we fight this
At this moment, Yatali arrived.
"It's Captain Atali!!!"
The members of the Sausage Hunter Pirates immediately saw hope.
"Captain Yatali, stop this demon quickly!!!"
