This time, the hegemony is several times stronger than the previous one in terms of momentum and power!
Pika obviously did not realize in advance that Mod had not used all his strength before, so when he saw the Hegemony whose shock wave range had directly expanded several times, a look of horror appeared on his face like a conditioned reflex.
The Straw Hats also didn't expect that Mod's moves that directly split the rock giant just now were not performed with all his strength.
Now, the shock wave of the Hegemony reflected in their eyes was like a comet cutting through the air and falling to the ground, shocking them.
The unusually powerful Hegemon shock wave bombarded the remains of the rock giant.
With a loud bang.
The impact of the hegemony spread across the remains of the rock giant.
In an instant, the remains of the rock giant bloomed like fireworks, turning into countless square stones and flying towards the rear.
The shadow that originally covered the location of Maud and the Straw Hats disappeared at this moment.
Seeing the countless rock blocks that were shattered by the overlord and scattered into the distance, the Straw Hats were stunned, their lips squirming, unable to say anything.
Pika, who was falling to the ground, had a look of shock on his face.
However, Mod's offensive did not end there.
"gun."
With her free hand, Maud pulled out the ferret.
Give an order.
The ferret in the form of a long sword turned into a spear in an instant.
boom!
Maude raised her arm, pulled the trigger without even aiming, and threw a lead bullet at the plummeting Pika.
The lead bullet went towards Pika's face.
Pika's eyes changed. Naturally, he would not be hit by the lead bullet. He lowered his head forward to avoid the lead bullet aimed at his forehead.
And just as the lead bullet passed over Pika's head.
However, Maud's figure instantly crossed a distance of more than a hundred meters, and followed the lead bullet to the top of Pika.
He exchanged places with the [Shadow] attached to the lead bullet.
"you… !?"
How could Pika have expected that Maud would teleport over with the lead bullet.
Only then did he raise his head to look at Maude, who appeared above him out of thin air, and saw a sharp sword light coming toward his face.
Armed color!
In the midst of the lightning and flint, Pika released the maximum amount of weaponry, covering his upper body, while crossing his arms across the trajectory of the sword light.
Mod's sword was wrapped with a weapon-colored blade and slashed hard on Pika's arms.
laugh!
Armed colors are divided into strong and weak ones.
Maud, who was even more superior, used autumn water to break through Pika's armed defense, and cut a deep wound on Pika's arm that showed the bone.
A blood arrow then shot out.
at the same time,
The power transmitted through the Qiushui blade caused Pika to accelerate towards the ground like a meteorite.
Maude sheathed her sword and stopped in the air with a moon step. When she lowered her head, her cold eyes followed the plummeting Pika.
Bang bang bang…!
Maude held the gun with one hand, pointed at Pika who had not yet landed, and quickly pulled the trigger.
The lead bullets pulled out streaks of yellow light like a shower, falling from the sky on Pika's tall and strong body, creating tiny blood flowers.
Bang!
Pika's body hit the rock formations heavily with the rain of bullets, setting off bursts of smoke and dust, and his life or death was uncertain for a moment.
At least in the eyes of the Straw Hats, not to mention falling from such a high place, being stabbed by Maud, and taking so many bullets, even if they didn't die, they would still be seriously injured and unconscious.
But compared to Pika, whose life or death was uncertain, the series of attacks that Maud summoned on Pika in a short period of time was an eye-opener for the Straw Hats.
They had not really experienced the baptism of the power of a strong man. They all raised their heads and looked at Mod, who was standing high in the sky with his moon steps, with different expressions.
"How on earth is this done?"
"So powerful that it's awe-inspiring."
"That's awesome, Maud..."
"It's not on the same level at all."
Putting aside the hegemony, whether it is the ability to teleport hundreds of meters out of thin air, or the snow-white weapons that can freely change forms.
While the Straw Hats were shocked, their understanding of the [New World] was further enhanced.
It is precisely because we recognize the strength of others that we can understand our own weakness.
Just when the Straw Hats thought the crisis had been resolved, Pika's roar reached everyone's ears through the still smoke.
"Bacardi Mod, I'm going to kill you!!!"
The smoke and dust were swept to one side by a strong wind, and Pika stood on the cracked rock formation, with most parts of his body covered in blood.
Despite this, Pika's body still stood upright, showing extraordinary tenacity.
The Straw Hats looked at Pika covered in blood in surprise, as if they were looking at a monster.
Pika ignored the presence of the Straw Hats, raised his head, and glanced at Maud, who was high in the sky, with eyes full of anger.
The moment his eyes were fixed on Maud.
Maude suddenly disappeared from anywhere in sight.
"Um?"
Pika was startled and felt a sudden pain in his chest.
A few meters directly in front of Pika, Maud turned his back to Pika. While walking forward slowly, he slowly returned the blood-drained Qiu Shui blade into the scabbard.
Just now, Maud exchanged positions with the shadow that had settled in advance, and then gave Pika a fatal blow.
The timing was so good that Pika didn't react at all.
Strictly speaking, when Pika looked up at the sky, defeat was already doomed.
"W-when..."
Pika, who still didn't understand what happened, slowly lowered his head and looked blankly at Maud, who had appeared directly in front of him at some unknown time.
laugh!
A large amount of blood suddenly spurted out from Pika's chest and scattered on the rocky ground behind Maud.
The massive loss of blood took away Pika's vitality and strength in an instant.
This caused Pika's knees to weaken and fall to the ground.
"Bacardi Mod..."
Realizing that his death was approaching, Pika stared at Maud's back and spoke word by word.
There was obvious unwillingness and resentment in that tone.
"The top leader of the Don Quixote family?"
Maude stopped and turned around to look at Pika calmly, anger replaced the confusion on Pika's face.
"That's all."
“…”
Pika opened her mouth, but she didn't have the strength to speak anymore, and fell slumped on the rocky ground.
The strong body stirred up some dust on the rocky ground, and in less than a moment, a large amount of blood flowed out from under him.
As early as when he listed the Don Quixote family as enemies, Maude wrote the known abilities of all the cadres of the Don Quixote family into the hunter's notebook.
Therefore, at the moment of Pika's death, a large amount of income was directly fed back.
Except for the meaningless gains that were taken away by sword skills, the remaining gains were still extremely considerable when divided into the three major needs of physical fitness, domineering, and devil fruit.
Feeling the many changes in his body, Mod closed his eyes and checked the star rating of the hunter's notes that he had not paid attention to for a long time.
[Physique: ★★★★★★☆]
[Sword Skills: ★★★★★★]
[Domineering: ★★★★★★]
[Demon: ★★★★☆]
The level of physical fitness is too high, resulting in changes in income feedback that are not obvious.
On the contrary, he was domineering, but he was promoted to the second stage in one fell swoop, reaching six stars.
This is the second transformation of the star level, which also means that subsequent promotions will become increasingly difficult.
As for the fourth requirement that Mod filled in in order to improve his shadow fruit proficiency as quickly as possible, the fifth star frame was directly condensed.
I have to say that Pika is really qualified as a prey.
Whether it's physical fitness, domineering power, or Devil Fruit, Mod has brought plenty of experience.
Looking at the entire Don Quixote family, apart from Doflamingo, the only person who can rival Pica in terms of experience gains is probably Vergo, who infiltrated the navy camp as an undercover agent.
In other words, there are only two people with such a high experience level in a Shichibukai camp.
It can be seen from this that Pika is a rare prey, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is epic.
After checking the hunter note level.
Maude opened her eyes and turned to look at the Straw Hats.
But he saw those very familiar faces looking at him blankly.
Are you stupid
This is
Chapter 237: Okay, let’s go to the Navy Headquarters with me.
"Boom..."
A few seconds after Pika fell to the ground, the rock fragments smashed and flew away by Mod fell to the ground one by one, causing loud noises.
The generated air waves swept in from a distance carrying a large amount of sand and dust, and filled the air for a long time.
The huge movement made the Straw Hats wake up from a dream. Their tense nerves relaxed at first, and then they looked at Maud in awe or admiration.
Perona raised her umbrella and floated in the air. After glancing at the Straw Hats, she flew forward and came to Maud's side.
Then, she moved the cute little flower umbrella to the top of Maud's head.
Maude didn't pay attention to Perona's thoughtful gesture and walked straight towards the Straw Hats.
Perona followed closely, making sure that the shadow cast by the little flower umbrella could accommodate Maud.
"Idol!!!"
Seeing Maude walking step by step, among the crowd, Bartolomeo was the first to react, and immediately flew in front of Maude, with stars shining in his eyes.
“…”
Maude looked at Bartolomeo in surprise as he rushed towards him with an excited expression on his face.
His eyes passed over Bartolomeo's iconic cockscomb head, and some memory images immediately emerged from his mind.
He quickly recognized the other person's identity, but forgot the other person's slightly longer name.
Could it be...
Bartolomeo in the intelligence is the cockscomb in front of me
However, this guy should not appear on the scene until two years later. How could he get mixed up with the Straw Hat Pirates now
