Elementalization is the nemesis of ordinary gunfire, so just be careful of the armed lead bullets inserted into it by Mod.
Just as this thought arose, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
"Um?"
Under Ace's gaze, the lead bullets fired at high speed suddenly turned into pitch-black butterflies, circling and flying around.
"It can't be..."
Looking at the butterflies hovering around, Ace realized something.
No way
Can something like that be done
The speculation that flashed through his mind made Ace's heart freeze slightly in his flame form.
Just when Ace's attention was diverted to the many dark butterflies, Maude had already sheathed the autumn water, and Bailey turned into a pair of guns, which he held in his hands.
The next second, Mod's offensive display truly confirmed Ace's guess.
Shadow stream, daytime fireworks!
Maud's figure disappeared into thin air.
The next moment,
He swapped places with a pitch-black butterfly hovering to Ace's left.
"Bang bang!"
When the teleportation came, Mod raised both guns and pulled the trigger towards Ace's side.
As soon as the gunshot rang out, Maud disappeared out of thin air again.
When he appeared again, he was already behind Ace.
"Bang bang—"
The moment she pulled the trigger, Maude moved in another direction.
"Bang bang—"
"Bang bang—"
"Bang bang—"
Just like that, Maude switched positions as quickly as possible.
And every time he switches, two shots will be fired at Ace in flame form.
With the help of the teleportation medium of Shadow Butterfly, and the use of the Haki of Wisdom and Color to grasp the precise timing.
In a short period of time, Maude fired lead bullets at Ace from all directions.
As gunshots resounded through the sky, yellow straight streams of light pulled out by lead bullets intertwined and converged from all directions, creating a wonderful scene.
As if in the daytime, there seemed to be fireworks flashing frequently.
Ace, who was in it, could only shuttle awkwardly among the elemental flames.
because,
Among the many lead bullets coming from all directions, there are many special lead bullets wrapped with armed colors.
"It's a monster to use a gun like this..."
The nature type, who was least afraid of gunshots, was forced into danger at this time.
Ace was surprised by Morde's use of abilities, and couldn't help but feel deeply afraid.
From the beginning, Ace would never underestimate Mod's strength.
But after the actual fight, the strength shown by Mod was still far beyond Ace's expectations.
"Although it wasn't a fight to the death, I was definitely suppressed..."
Facing the lead bullets coming from all directions, Ace's eyes narrowed.
On the desert.
The Straw Hats outside the battle circle, as well as Perona floating in mid-air, all looked up and stared at the scene intertwined with gunfire in the sky.
The daytime fireworks staged before their eyes gave them a thrilling beauty.
Just by putting yourself in his shoes, you will feel that you can't even struggle, you can only feel the despair of waiting to die.
As a sniper, Usopp was so shocked by Mod's move of daytime fireworks that he couldn't say anything.
Even if he was just imagining it, he knew very well that he would never be able to carry out such an unreasonable offensive with a gun.
we can even say,
There is no other person in the world who can create such fireworks during the day...
This is definitely a unique and powerful feature!
And that man was his master.
At this moment, Usopp was extremely proud.
However, such a powerful master now wants to take action against the companions he recognizes.
Usopp looked confused.
"Hey, don't say I didn't remind you, if you don't want to die, you'd better get out of here."
Perona raised her head and stared at the bombardment that Maude was constantly intertwining with. She had done some training in seeing and hearing, and she felt a faint sense of crisis inexplicably.
Like air, it was everywhere, making her very uneasy.
After alerting the Straw Hats, Perona retreated without hesitation, staying as far away from the battle circle as possible.
She didn't want to get killed by a stray bullet just to watch a battle.
That would be such an injustice.
After hearing Perona's reminder, the Straw Hats followed Perona's footsteps and moved backward away from the battle circle.
Only Luffy remained where he was, motionless.
"Luffy, why don't you come over here quickly!"
Seeing Luffy standing there like a piece of wood, Nami urged him.
"I'm a rubber man, so I'm not afraid of bullets!"
Luffy didn't even look back, focusing on the battle between Mord and Ace.
Nami was startled.
Also, Luffy is indeed not afraid of bullets.
Thinking of this, Nami shook her head slightly.
Zoro and Sanji also knew this, so they just let Luffy stay there.
But just when they retreated far enough, a stray bullet fell from the air and hit Luffy on the right side of his waist and abdomen.
puff!
The expected rebound phenomenon of lead bullets did not occur.
Instead, the lead bullet penetrated Luffy's waist and abdomen on the right side, bringing up a dazzling blood flower.
"Well?"
Luffy was stunned.
Nami and the others were also stunned when they saw Luffy being shot.
The air seemed to freeze briefly.
After a while,
"I've been shot!"
Luffy screamed, the unusual pain coming from the wound made him roll on the sand while holding the wound.
"How could this happen? Isn't Luffy not afraid of bullets?"
"Hey, Chopper, Luffy is injured."
"Chopper fainted from the heat again."
“…”
"Zoro, Sanji, hurry up and carry Luffy over!"
Seeing Luffy being hit by a stray bullet and screaming so painfully, Nami and the others immediately panicked.
"idiot."
Perona, who was floating in the air with an umbrella, shook her head.
It turns out that this guy doesn’t know what armed domineering means.
Hearing Luffy's scream when he was unfortunately shot, Ace, whose defensive pressure was about to reach its limit, was stunned and couldn't help but reveal a flaw.
Among the continuous lead bullets coming from all directions, there happened to be a lead bullet wrapped with armed domineering energy, which penetrated this seemingly insignificant flaw.
laugh!
A blood arrow spattered from the flames, but was burned out in an instant.
Ace was shot.
The already precarious defense was suddenly on the verge of collapse.
If this continues,
There is a real possibility that Ace will be shot to death by Maud.
Chapter 241 Oh, then let me give you a ride.
The power of the bullets with armed colors is several times higher than that of conventional guns.
From the moment Ace was shot, the balance of victory had been tilted towards Maud.
However,
Mod, however, did not take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Instead, he stopped his attack and directly exchanged places with the shadow on the ground and returned to the ground.
The dark butterflies flying all over the sky immediately gathered into a black stream, rushing straight towards Maud, and finally turned back into their normal shadows.
The original intention of this battle was not to kill Ace.
Clicking to the end is the inevitable result.
If Ace is seriously injured, it may affect Ace's progress in pursuing Blackbeard.
By the way...
The reason why Aster came to Alabasta specifically to see Luffy, or was Blackbeard also coming to Alabasta
Maud calmly looked at Ace surrounded by flames, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.
It was impossible for him to remember all the details of the information in the original work.
As Mod stopped his hand, the fierce battle stopped in an instant.
Ace, who returned to his human form, fell on the sand and frowned in silence.
There was a bloody hole in his right elbow, which was pierced by a lead bullet and was bleeding gurglingly.
"Why stop?"
Ace looked at Maud, not caring at all about the gunshot wound on his elbow.
"I have already seen the 'result' I want to see, so there is no point in continuing to fight."
Maude's arms dropped naturally.
Bailey, who was in the form of two guns, quietly changed back to his original form, and immediately ran to Maud's shoulders, feeling exhausted by the harsh sunlight.
“What results do you want to see?”
Ace looked confused and confused.
