Every entrance and exit as far as the eye could see was blocked by this group of soldiers.
At the same time, Maude was in the audience, killing those prey that he thought had written down information.
He has no interest in other goals.
And his figure of killing people in blood is also stirring up the nerves of the pirates all the time.
Gradually, the pirates felt something was wrong.
If this continues, let alone grabbing the Devil Fruit, he will probably risk his life here.
Several pirates who reacted suddenly rushed towards one of the heavily guarded passages.
Bang bang...!
The soldiers stationed near the passage decisively raised their muskets and fired volleys at the pirates.
Those pirates had two brushes, and they used the corpses everywhere on the audience stage to block the soldiers' first round of shooting.
However, nearly a hundred soldiers gathered around and stabbed the pirates into a honeycomb with spears.
Many pirates and bounty hunters in the scene were shocked when they saw this scene.
Previously, they were only focused on grabbing Devil Fruits, but they had ignored the iron-blooded methods of the Ahab Kingdom's army.
In addition, there is that unreasonable Bacardi Mod...
With the two-pronged approach, the originally crazy pirates gradually calmed down.
"Hoho, do you want to catch them all in one fell swoop? The army of the Kingdom of Ahab..."
Lafayette's body hovered in the air, looking down at the nearly 10,000 Ahab Kingdom soldiers guarding the passage.
In terms of numbers alone, there were five times as many soldiers as there were pirates in the field.
However, rabbits will bite people when they are anxious, let alone these cold-blooded and rampant pirates.
If the two sides collided head-on, the pirates might be wiped out, but the army would definitely not feel better either.
Under Lafayette's attention, some pirates in the field gave up their luck and began to form a group to kill the soldiers guarding the passage.
Their purpose was obvious, which was to tear a hole in the encirclement and escape from here.
Except for this group of pirates who acted decisively, the others were still stopping to watch the Devil Fruit in Lafayette's hand.
"interesting."
A dangerous light appeared in Lafayette's eyes.
The Devil Fruit in his hand was the bait to keep the pirates in the Colosseum.
Now, the army of Ahab's kingdom stopped silently, guarding all passages, and surrounded everyone in the venue.
This kind of restraint actually calmed down those who originally wanted to snatch the Devil Fruit, and divided them into two groups.
One group is those who have given up on Devil Fruits and want to break out of here, and the other group are those who are waiting for an opportunity and are still unwilling to give up on Devil Fruits.
Lafayette was in the air and had a clear view of the situation on the field.
Understanding the situation, he suddenly grinned.
Immediately afterwards, he flew at lightning speed towards Jim and Bailey, who were hiding in the corner and trying to hide their presence as much as possible.
Seeing Lafayette's futile actions, the pirates who still refused to give up on the Devil Fruit shot at Lafayette again without thinking.
At the same time, they all jumped off the audience stage and ran as fast as possible to where Lafayette might fall.
Unfortunately, Lafayette dodged all the lead bullets they fired.
Lafayette landed in front of Jim, immediately shattered the crystal box with his bare hands, and stuffed the Devil Fruit in the box into Jim's mouth.
Jim was mentally prepared and cooperated by opening his mouth and taking a bite of the devil fruit.
"Hoo ho."
Upon seeing this, Lafayette retracted the arm holding the Devil Fruit, then Shi Shiran turned around and looked at the chasing pirates with a calm expression.
"Damn!!!"
"My devil fruit...!"
Looking at the bitten Devil Fruit, the group of pirates who were trying to get the Devil Fruit looked unwilling.
Without this Devil Fruit, they would lose their motivation to stay in the Colosseum.
However, the passage out of the Colosseum was blocked by the army of the Kingdom of Ahab...
In other words, the only option left to them is to break through the army's encirclement.
Suddenly, the pirates and bounty hunters in the field unanimously targeted the surrounding soldiers.
It's not like they haven't thought about causing trouble for the Mod Pirates, but the presence of soldiers around them always reminds them that they are out of place.
Let’s escape from here first…
The goals of the pirates in the field gradually became the same.
Just as Lafayette expected, within just a few minutes, all the pirates in the field attacked the surrounding troops.
The two sides suddenly started a melee!
But Lafayette, as the instigator, just looked on with a smile.
His eyes were flying towards Maud's figure.
This melee situation is the best hunting ground for Mod.
Maude seemed to feel something and turned her head to meet Lafayette's gaze from a distance.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Then, with all his power, Mod saw and heard, blending into the chaos and harvesting handfuls of experience efficiently.
A new level is gradually taking shape.
Standing in the box at the top, Digar's eyes were fixed on Maude.
He watched Maud go on a killing spree in the melee, and he really couldn't understand Maud's motives.
It was obvious that he could leave the Colosseum using his air walking skills, and the Devil Fruit had already been eaten.
Why still...
Inexplicably, Digar felt a chill in his heart, and subconsciously looked back at the box door.
All around, the members of the noble family who were admiring the fighting below did not notice anything strange about Digar.
They're watching Maud, too, but they're not wasting their brain cells anticipating what Maud might bring to them.
Inside the Colosseum.
As soldiers and pirates fell one after another.
This endless melee is gradually coming to an end.
Maud, who was covered in blood, looked excited.
The income exceeded expectations.
Chapter 79: A shot in the left hand and a knife in the right hand
How many pirates have been killed
Maude did not count them.
He could only confirm that most of the prey he wrote in his notebook were in the Colosseum.
These prey are mainly pirates.
At his request, the Revolutionary Army would collect intelligence and would only target pirates with higher bounties or those with notorious reputations.
Only pirates like this will be the main force in robbing Devil Fruits.
Even if they encounter unexpected situations and have some capital, they will not give up easily.
This is what Maud is most happy to see.
However, before implementing this plan, Moder did not expect that the army of the Kingdom of Ahab would give him such a huge assist.
Thanks to the "loving" cooperation of the army, Mod was able to successfully gain most of the experience.
By the time the pirates who wanted to break through the encirclement and escape from here reacted, there were less than 300 of their peers who could stand firm around them.
On the other hand, the army lost about 2,500 elite soldiers with 10,000 against an enemy of 2,000.
Judging from the number of casualties, the army's losses were undoubtedly more serious.
The strength of the pirates can also be seen from the side.
You know, the strength of the army is five times greater than that of the pirates, and there is also Mod who keeps stabbing the pirates in the back.
But even so, the pirates who showed no discipline and cooperation still caused the army to lose a quarter of its strength.
Just talking about individual strength, it is clear who is strong and who is weak.
Although the army lost 2,500 soldiers, there were still 7,000 soldiers left.
With this kind of troops, it is not difficult to maintain the intensity of the encirclement.
In comparison, the pirate side, with less than 300 people left, seemed a little miserable.
The huge disparity in military strength means that the possibility of their breaking out is basically zero.
Despair, or unwillingness.
It's hard to tell how they feel at the moment.
The only thing that can be determined is anger.
Anger directed at Maud.
"Mod Pirates... Aren't you pirates? Why are you joining forces with these soldiers to deal with us?"
In the endgame, an injured and bloody pirate looked at Mod angrily.
The other pirates who had fought bloody battles until now, and even the soldiers who wanted to kill the pirates, all looked at Mod in secret.
At the beginning, because the battle was too chaotic, the two warring parties were not aware of Mod's backstab.
As more and more people fell, they gradually noticed something strange.
It was clear that they were also trapped in a circle, but instead of attacking the army, Moder was killing the pirates.
This is also the root of the pirate's question.
Maude ignored the questioning looks from her peers, and would not take the initiative to explain.
Among this group of pirates, Bertrand of the Fang Pirates was the only one who noticed Mod's true purpose in a short period of time.
Not to snatch the Devil Fruit, but to kill them here.
Just like the Twin Islands incident.
And Bertrand has been dead for a long time, and these pirates who have been fighting until now will be no exception.
Mod's silence made these pirates even more angry.
They had no idea what Maud's motives were.
If Mod had not destroyed two warships responsible for escorting the alliance countries, they would probably have decided that Mod was from the navy.
Otherwise, as they are all pirates, why would Mod target them like this
The many angry looks directed at Maude gradually turned towards murderous intent.
"Bacardi Mod, the reason why we are trapped here is all because of you!!!"
"Even if it means death, I will support you!"
Seeing that there was no hope of breaking out, the pirates began to point their fingers at Mod.
In their eyes, Maude was undoubtedly the culprit that brought them to this place.
Regarding this point, even if these pirates are more bound here by human desires, Mod has no intention of denying the fact that he is the culprit.
Facing the hostility of the pirates, Mod was not afraid at all.
As for the encirclement set up by the army of the Kingdom of Ahab, in Maud's eyes it was in vain.
