A few seconds later, Ryoma's eyes shifted first and he quickly glanced at Hogback's body lying in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Before coming, I learned about Lord Abrosam's death."
Ryoma withdrew his gaze, lowered his right hand, grasped the handle of Qiu Shui's knife, and then slowly pulled Qiu Shui out of the scabbard.
"It must be your fault, right?"
"That's right."
Maude nodded, and the Chidori was unsheathed and held in his hand.
Ryoma carried Qiushui on his shoulders and said calmly: "Then one of you will die between you and me."
In terms of status and name, Moria and Abrosam are the masters of dragon horses.
This is the effect brought about by the shadow fruit ability.
Therefore, even without Moria's order, Ryoma would take the initiative to deal with Abrosam's murderer.
As for Hogback's death, due to the weak nature of the [contract], Ryoma didn't feel much at all.
Maude looked at Ryoma with a surge in fighting spirit, held the Chidori in front of him, and pointedly said: "Then, the famous sword Qiushui... I accept it."
"Yo ho ho, anyone can say empty words!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ryoma kicked his feet, his body as sharp as a blade and as fast as lightning, and he rushed straight towards Maud.
The Qiushui he carried on his shoulders suddenly drew an arc-shaped black blade in mid-air, pointing directly at Maud's vital point.
Maude's eyes narrowed and she raised her sword to meet him.
Clang!
The blue Chidori and the black sword Qiushui met in mid-air, causing sparks to appear.
The sword energy that escaped from the collision made a deep mark on the masonry ground behind Ryoma, and the long table behind Maud was cut in half and collapsed.
"Yo ho ho..."
Through the intersection of the two swords, Ryoma looked solemnly at Maude who was close at hand.
Just one sword fight made him realize Morde's strength in an instant.
Very strong!
This is the strongest person he has encountered since his [resurrection].
Compared to Ryoma's solemn display, Maud was actually very calm.
With just one hand, he was able to withstand the power poured into Ryoma's hands.
The gap between the two is obvious.
"After all, it's just a corpse that has been dead for many years."
Maud's eyes were calm, and with a slight thought, he released a weapon-colored domineering energy, covering the Chidori blade, turning it into a black sword like Qiushui in a short time.
"You also know how to wear armor, right?"
He had the energy to further suppress Ryoma, but Maud did not directly put his thoughts into action.
After hearing Mod's words, Ryoma thought for a moment and did not speak. Instead, he remained silent to resist the heavy power transmitted from Qiushui Knife.
Maud suppressed Ryoma with one hand, then freed up his left hand to reach for the twin ferret guns hanging on his waist.
"But you can't use it. This is the irreparable flaw of zombies and the wrong use of shadow fruit."
While speaking, Maud placed her left hand on the barrel of one of the stoat flintlock guns.
At this time, he only needed to draw out his pistol and quickly pull the trigger to blast Ryoma's body to pieces within three seconds.
But he didn't.
"knife."
Maud whispered.
After hearing Maude's order, Bailey turned into a long knife and was held by Maude.
Upon seeing this, Ryoma looked at Maude with something strange in his eyes.
"Pity… "
Maude sighed softly, and separated part of the weapon color, covering the ferret blade that contained [dead creature characteristics].
Immediately, Maud slashed at the body of the dragon and horse with his sword.
The stoat blade wrapped in the color of weapons easily cut through Ryoma's body, and then generated a sword energy that was as solid as substance and flew towards the wall behind Ryoma.
Boom!
The huge wall was directly shattered by the violent sword energy.
Immediately afterwards, Ryoma's body first split into two, then collapsed and turned into quicksand-like objects, scattered to the ground.
This close range slash destroyed Ryoma's body with devastating force.
At the last moment, Maude seemed to hear Ryoma sighing.
Unable to use Haki, no matter how superb Hogback's skills in repairing and restoring corpses are, there is no way for those strong corpses to break through their own flaws.
As the body collapsed, the clothes on Longma's body and even the autumn water fell to the ground after losing their support.
Maude quickly sheathed the Chidori, then stretched out her right hand and grasped Qiu Shui's knife handle in mid-air.
The first feeling when I took it was that it was heavy.
Not far away, Philo silently glanced at the wall shattered by the sword energy, and once again sighed at the power of Mod.
The spiders and mice hiding in the shadows above the stone pillars all looked at Maud below with horror in their eyes.
Among the general's zombie army, Ryoma's strength ranks among the top.
However, he was killed by the evil star underneath.
The bodies of the spiders and mice were shaking like chaff.
The moment Ryoma was killed with a knife, they truly had an accurate understanding of Mod's strength.
With such terrifying strength, even if the general's zombie army were to come over, they would probably achieve nothing.
Only the master... can deal with this guy!
Chapter 124 Jealous Bailey
Somewhere in the sea in the Devil's Triangle.
In the thick fog, a pirate ship with its hull rotten and cracked in many places and its sails like rags drifted with the current.
"Yo ho ho..."
A burst of laughter resounded over the broken ship.
On the cracked deck of the ship, there was a set of tables and chairs.
A skeleton man with an afro and wearing a black gentleman's uniform sat at the table.
He was holding a steaming cup with a chipped corner in his clearly visible pale finger bones, looking quite leisurely.
The laughter that spread through the thick fog came from his mouth.
"Oh ho ho, it's another pleasant evening."
The skeleton man held up the teacup, took a sip, and then looked up at the flowing mist above, as if he could see the orange-red sky beyond the mist.
In the sea area of the Devil's Triangle, there is thick fog all year round, making it difficult to see a ray of sunshine, let alone a clear sky.
In this environment, there is no way to grasp the time of day through changes in the sky.
If you stay for a long time, your sense of the flow of time will gradually become confused.
But the skeleton was apparently unaffected.
Because, in this lonely environment where days are like years, he can only relieve the loneliness in his heart by counting the seconds.
This has been the case every day for the past fifty years.
"Yo ho ho..."
The afro-headed skeleton slowly stood up holding the tea cup and walked to the side of the ship. While staring at the fog ahead, he raised the cup and drank hot tea.
Until the hot tea in the cup bottomed out, the skeleton still stared at the mist in silence.
There was only darkness and hollowness in the eye sockets, making it impossible to clearly detect his emotions.
After a long time.
"45-degree angle!"
The skeleton's body leaned forward in vain, its forehead resting directly on the ship's railing, causing the slender skeleton body to form a straight 45-degree angle with the deck.
"Yo ho ho..."
The skeleton maintained his posture and looked down at the deck in front of the ship's railing.
"Eh???"
Suddenly, he seemed to have seen something incredible, and his mouth opened wide.
"Clang."
The tea cup with a chipped corner in his hand fell from his hand and fell on the deck, breaking into several pieces on the spot.
It was the last teacup on the ship that could be used to make tea, and its preciousness was self-evident. However, the skeleton did not even look at the broken teacup, but stared at the slightly blurry shadow under him.
"My shadow is back..."
The skeleton looked at his own shadow and murmured quietly.
"That powerful swordsman... was he defeated? What happened over there? Huh? Could it be..."
He suddenly straightened up and looked up at the sky in surprise.
About an hour ago, he vaguely heard the sound of something huge whizzing past from above.
I originally thought it was an illusion, but not long after, the same sound came from the air in the same direction.
The skeleton didn't know what it was.
But the shadow returned without any warning, which reminded him of this incident.
When he thought of this, he first took a look at the furnishings on the ship, used many things as references, and then managed to find a general direction.
"I remember coming from this direction..."
... ... ... ... ..
The terrifying barque.
In the cold hall of the mansion, Maude kept waving Qiushui, trying to get familiar with the feel in the small amount of time before the war.
Compared to the lower-level Chidori and the stoat transformed by Bailey, the length and thickness of Qiushui are superior, and the weight is also a level higher than that of the Chidori and the stoat.
In addition, the sturdiness is even better than that of Chidori and Ferret.
After all, it is a twenty-one sword, and it is a black sword tempered with domineering energy.
“It feels really good.”
Maud looked at Qiu Shui's black and purple blade with satisfaction.
It is indeed a national treasure of Wano Country.
With this famous sword, the power of the slash can be at least doubled.
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the suppressive power. The strength of the Qiushui blade alone, coupled with the domineering appearance of the weapon, makes it a destructive weapon in hand-to-hand combat with weaker opponents.
Moreover, Qiu Shui is heavier than ordinary knives. When fighting a sword stalemate, as long as you gain a slight advantage in strength, you can use the weight of Qiu Shui to further transform and amplify the output rate of power.
Maude was satisfied to get the autumn water.
The only regret is that I can't get Ryoma's swordsmanship experience.
To take a step back, Moria is the only person on the island who can provide Mod with clear experience.
Maude didn't come just for the experience, so she stopped thinking about it. With a flip of her wrist, she neatly sheathed the autumn water and hung it on her waist.
It was also at this time that Maude noticed obvious changes in the ferret's blade.
