While Mode was thinking about it, Bartolomeo took out a pen from his pocket, handed it to Mode tremblingly, and said excitedly: "Idol, I, I finally see you, can you sign it for me... "
"Bang."
Before Bartolomeo could finish his words, Luffy came from behind and pressed him into the sand.
"You are so strong."
Luffy half-knelt on Bartolomeo's back, looking up at Mod with a keen eye.
Maud did not speak, but looked at the son of the world in front of him - Wang Lufei with great interest.
Luffy stood up, seemingly unaware that he had crushed Bartolomeo under his feet.
He just stood on Bartolomeo's back. Even so, there was still a significant height gap between him and Maude, and he could only look up at Maude.
"How do you achieve your ability to teleport?"
Luffy looked at Mod with curiosity.
Compared to the few blows that Mord made that shattered the ground that day, Luffy was more concerned about the teleportation ability that Mord used.
"Idiot, if you ask this kind of question right from the start, who would be willing to pay attention to you?"
Perona curled her lips and looked at Luffy, thinking in her mind.
"I am a shadow fruit user. I can switch places with the shadow freely. The teleportation just now was the effect achieved by switching places with the shadow."
The next second, Perona saw Moder answer Luffy's question very simply.
"Eh?"
She was stunned after being slapped in the face.
This guy, could it be someone else of yours
Perona turned her head and looked at Maude's side face, complaining in her mind.
After hearing Mod's answer, Luffy immediately looked at the shadow behind Mod, tilted his head slightly, and several question marks appeared on his straw hat.
At the same time, he imagined an image in his mind - Maud lying flat on the ground, and then the shadow stood in front of Maud.
Suddenly, there were more question marks floating above the straw hat.
"You don't even understand this?!" Perona looked at Luffy in disbelief, who was frowning and thinking.
"Ah."
Maude smiled, and with a slight thought, she let the shadow separate from the body, and then gradually condensed into a solid body, standing beside her.
"My shadow can move freely, and like clay, it can freely transform into what I want it to be, such as... "
As Mod's words fell, the solid shadow printed in the same mold as Mod's changed into an outline that was the same as Luffy's at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Wow! So awesome!"
Luffy couldn't think about it at this moment, looking at the shadow with the same outline as himself with stars in his eyes.
"Wow! He really looks exactly like Luffy!"
"Wow! Is this the master's ability?"
Chopper, who had woken up at some point, and Usopp, who couldn't suppress his excitement, both came to Luffy's side, looking at the physical shadow controlled by Mord with starry eyes.
Nami and the others also came closer one by one.
Except for Sauron, who was silently looking at the countless red rocks in the distance that were chopped up by Mod, everyone else's eyes were focused on Mod.
Facing everyone's gaze, Maude smiled and let her shadow keep changing its shape.
"Shadows can do more than just shape adults."
Mod controlled the shadow to transform into a tyrannosaurus rex that was twenty meters long.
"Wow… "
Seeing the solid shadow of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Luffy and others exclaimed again.
"Weapons are no problem."
The shape of the Shadow Tyrannosaurus Rex turned into a 40-meter-long shadow black knife like water waves, which was held by Mod in his hand.
After seeing the forty-meter-long shadow black sword, Luffy and others exclaimed again.
Even Sauron, who had no interest in shadow tricks at first, couldn't help but look at the forty-meter black knife in Mod's hand.
"If it can be turned into a weapon, it can also be turned into something like a tool."
Looking at the surprised people, Maud raised the corner of his mouth and then transformed the forty-meter-long shadow black knife into a chain of the same length.
"For example, a more practical tool like a chain."
As he spoke, Mod controlled the chain to Luffy as if to demonstrate the true effect of the shadow chain.
Under Mod's control, the shadow chain wrapped around Luffy's waist like a python, twisting and turning, wrapping Luffy tightly in an instant.
"Wow, it seems stronger than a chain. I can't move!"
Luffy tried to struggle, but what came back was a restraining force so strong that he couldn't move.
"What a practical ability."
Everyone couldn't help but marvel when looking at the shadow chains that entangled Luffy into a rice dumpling.
Luffy giggled and kept struggling, demonstrating to everyone the hardness and binding power of the shadow chain.
Maud smiled slightly and said seriously: "It is indeed quite practical."
After saying this, under everyone's rather puzzled gaze, Maude slowly raised her hand.
They saw Luffy, who was bound by the shadow chain, flying towards Morde out of thin air, and was immediately lifted in mid-air by Morde.
"Okay, just follow me to the Navy Headquarters."
Mod smiled and looked at Luffy who was tied into a rice dumpling.
Luffy blinked and looked at Mod with a naive expression, unable to react.
"Eh!?"
Morde's sudden move made everyone, led by Usopp, stare at Morde who was holding Luffy in his hand with wide eyes.
"Master, what are you...?"
"After all, I am a Shichibukai. I have to do some serious things that are 'in line with my responsibilities', such as catching a few pirates or something."
Maud tossed the rice dumpling to Luffy.
"Hey!!! Have I been caught!!!"
It was also at this time that Luffy finally reacted and looked at Mod in shock.
"how so… "
The Straw Hats looked at Maude in panic.
Clang—
This is the sound of Sauron drawing his sword.
Even if the opponent is as strong as a monster, this swordsman with unlimited potential will not back down at all.
"He is my brother. If you want to take him to the Navy Headquarters or something... I will not agree to it."
At the moment Zoro drew out his sword, an irrefutable male voice came from the smoke and dust in the distance.
At the same time, a figure carrying a bag slowly emerged from the smoke.
Chapter 238 Mod VS Ace
The sudden sound attracted everyone's attention.
A man wearing a cowboy hat, a few freckles on his face, and a red bead chain hanging around his neck walked out of the smoke.
The sun was scorching, but this man was naked from the waist up, not worried about the sun burning his skin.
Or, for this man.
Compared with the potential harm caused by the harsh environment, it is more important to expose the [pride] on your back at all times.
"Ace!!!"
Looking at the man walking out of the smoke, the face-blind King Luffy recognized the man's identity instantly, and was so excited that he dangled it in Maud's hand like a silkworm chrysalis.
"This man is Luffy's brother!?"
The slightly flustered Straw Hats looked at Ace, who was walking slowly towards them. They were surprised and felt that they looked familiar.
"Ayes the fire fist."
Maude looked at Ace calmly, feeling slightly surprised.
Before Ace made a sound, he had already noticed the aura quickly passing through the smoke.
I thought this aura would be from the Don Quixote family, but I didn't expect it to be Ace the Fire Fist.
I vaguely remember that Ace did appear in the Alabasta chapter.
It appeared at this point in time, which means that the potential butterfly effect did not affect Ace's movements.
Maud thought to herself.
"Yo, Luffy."
Ace walked closer, looked past Mod, and landed on Luffy, who was tied into a rice dumpling by shadow chains, and his movements were quite funny.
After a while, Ace turned his eyes after saying hello and stared at Mod.
"Please let go of my brother, Shichibukai... Maude."
"What if I don't let go?"
With a smile, Morde suppressed Luffy's dangling behavior, and then treated Luffy like a ball and kept throwing it upwards.
After hearing Mod's words, the Straw Hats looked solemn, but Usopp looked confused, neither advancing nor retreating, and seemed very uncomfortable.
"If you don't let go, then you can only..."
Ace's shoulders were filled with blazing flames. He looked at Mod with eyes filled with fighting intent and said, "Knock you down."
"Try it."
Maud freed up her left hand and hooked her index finger towards Ace.
"Hey." Ace grinned, threw away his bag, and said seriously: "I've long wanted to meet you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, clusters of flames burst out from all parts of Ace's body, and for a moment, his abilities and characteristics were clearly revealed.
Sauron and others stared at Ace, whose whole body was on fire, and said in surprise: A natural ability user...!
At this time, they finally remembered Ace's identity.
A big pirate who often made headlines in the past two years, he is also the captain of the second team of the Yonko Whitebeard Pirates, with a bounty of more than 500 million, known as Fire Fist Ace!
However, they never imagined that such a famous pirate would be Luffy's brother.
Zoro, Nami, Sanji and others all showed shock on their faces, but they calmed down in an instant and looked at Usopp with a tacit understanding.
There is a Shichibukai Master on the ship who has a bounty of over 500 million.
So, it's not surprising that Luffy has an older brother like Ace.
"what?"
Usopp, who felt a little uncomfortable, noticed something and looked at his companions strangely.
Sauron and others immediately turned their heads and continued to pay attention to the confrontation between Mod and Ace in the field.
"???"
Looking at the strange reactions of his companions, several question marks appeared on Usopp's head, and he felt as if he had been targeted by the void just now.
Inside the venue.
Feeling Ace's fighting spirit rising like a flame, Maud raised the corner of her mouth.
With a slight movement of thought, the shadow chain that bound Luffy flowed down his arm and back behind him, turning into a shadow in his normal form.
Without the restraints of the shadow chain, Luffy, who was full of restless genes in his bones, could no longer sit still and stared at Maud.
