"Ah la la..."
With an icy cold air all over his body, he silently looked at Nico Robin under the execution platform.
"Nico Robin, you know exactly what this occasion means to you..."
"Even so, you still made a rather irrational choice."
"Then, if you die here, you can't blame anyone."
Robin's appearance was reflected in Aoki's eyes, and he recalled the scene of returning "freedom" to Robin in the Water Capital, as if it happened yesterday.
He really didn't expect it.
Robin, a heavyweight criminal who was regarded as a thorn in the side of the World Government, finally found a place to stay after going through many hardships, but she had to take great risks to participate in a war that should have nothing to do with her.
all around the world.
In front of the broadcast screen, there was dead silence.
Everyone was staring at the picture on the screen.
The air was so heavy that breathing was slightly oppressed.
Ten minutes ago, they thought the navy was sure of victory, but as a result, various changes occurred one after another.
In particular, the scene where the Straw Hats and the Revolutionary Army suddenly appeared in front of the execution platform directly affected the nerves of countless people.
At the moment when the execution platform tilted, many people even thought that Fire Fist Ace was going to be rescued.
"Nico Robin, son of the devil..."
"The Revolutionary Army has joined forces with the Straw Hat Pirates!!!"
"How did the navy deploy its defenses? If Shichibukai Mod hadn't taken action in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."
"Will they save Ace, the firewalker?"
"Are you kidding? Such an evil bloodline... must not be let go!"
"How long until execution time?"
"31 minutes!"
"If you ask me, just execute him directly."
"I also feel that way!"
The endless changes have made the people in front of the screen feel deeply uneasy.
In their opinion, eradicating the evil bloodline of the Pirate King quickly is more important than anything else.
Therefore, they believe that there is no need for the Navy to comply with the execution time.
"Look, Maud is about to take action again!"
Countless eyes focused on the figure exuding astonishing momentum on the screen.
"His appearance... is changing..."
They looked at Maud on the screen in astonishment. Her body shape, appearance, and even skin color were changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Malinvando, on the execution platform.
Warring States looked at Mod in surprise as his whole body had undergone obvious changes.
He clearly felt that Maud's aura was getting stronger.
It was so strong that he couldn't help but feel wary.
Under the execution platform.
The Straw Hats watched with wide eyes the changes in Maude in a short period of time.
First, the skin color tends to be gray, and then the body size expands.
Finally, circles of black lines appeared on the face and even the arms.
When the signs of change finally stopped, the Straw Hats felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.
suddenly,
Maud disappeared from their eyes.
next moment,
Before they could do anything, they were shocked to find that their bodies seemed to be imprisoned by something, and they couldn't even move a finger.
Immediately afterwards,
A violent feeling of suffocation eroded their minds.
"Where is Maud?!"
"What on earth is going on..."
It seemed to be because of the terrifying oppression that almost suffocated them.
So much so that their senses became somewhat confused.
He could clearly feel the pressure from Maud, but he didn't know where Maud was.
Chapter 91: Who is the pirate and who is the navy
Natural type and fantasy beast type are the rarest and most powerful fruits.
This is a common perception.
But in fact, there are many powerful fruits in the Superman system that rely on [Characteristics] to make a living.
Such as ghost fruit, surgery fruit, childlike fruit, dull fruit...
The [Characteristics] they possess can exert no less value than those of the natural type and the fantasy beast type.
Among these powerful superhuman fruits, the shadow fruit is not very conspicuous.
Many people even think that the strength of the shadow fruit can only reach the passing line, and there is nothing outstanding about it.
But in Maud's view,
The Shadow Fruit is the fruit that contains the most [properties] among the superhumans, and is extremely outstanding in terms of versatility and functionality.
But it is also because of its excellent versatility and functionality that the shadow fruit's presence in terms of offensive power seems a bit weak.
But,
Among the many characteristics of the shadow fruit, Mod's favorite is the shadow fruit's strong control ability that tends to be auxiliary, and -
A unique skill that is more offensive in nature - Shadow Gathering Ground.
After Sabo and Jasmine teamed up to defeat Fujitora, Mod used the shadow gathering place to absorb the recovered shadows into his body one by one.
It didn't stop until it absorbed 500 shadows.
This is the limit of what he can bear.
As for the remaining prisoner shadows, Mod didn't keep them and directly harvested them, thereby converting them into part of his strength and helping him regain some physical strength and domineering power.
"The shadow fruit is really too powerful..."
This was Maud's spontaneous admiration after absorbing the shadows of 500 prisoners into his body.
He absorbed the prisoner's shadow to increase his strength and speed explosively. As soon as he took action, he used the [Fixed Shadow Property] to forcefully control the Straw Hats.
The terrifying speed was such that even Usopp and Bartolomeo, who had maintained their sense of awareness in advance, were unable to react.
"Just stand still for a while."
When Maude's voice without any emotion came from behind.
The Straw Hats, who were suffocated by the strong aura, finally realized that Mod was behind them.
Suddenly, a chill that hit their souls suddenly surged through their bodies.
If Maud wants to kill them...
The imaginary pictures that appeared involuntarily in their heads made them not know whether to be frightened or grateful.
"This is...Mod's true strength..."
"You don't even have the qualifications to fight back, so what does that mean..."
"Move quickly, damn it!!!"
Even though they once again deeply realized Mod's terrifying strength, the Straw Hats, who are extremely resilient, never thought of giving up.
Mord can kill them in an instant.
This is a fact.
But Maud would not kill them.
This is also true.
It is also their confidence.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking, but no matter how hard they struggle, they can't break free from Mord's control.
Mod could feel their resistance, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but looked at Sabo, Luffy, and Jasmine who were nearby.
"Maud..."
Sabo looked at Mod's current appearance with shock in his eyes.
His body had grown in size, and his muscles were all so rugged that his coat burst open, revealing a highly elastic lined short coat.
On the arms exposed to the air, from the shoulders to the elbows, a zigzag pattern of pitch-black flames coiled around them.
There are also the same dark flame lines on the cheeks and collarbones.
These lines look extremely eye-catching against the gray and white skin.
The unknown changes made Maud exude a suffocating aura just standing there.
Sengoku and Ace on the execution platform, Fujitora who came back for reinforcements, the many marines closest to the execution platform, Whitebeard and Akainu in the distance, and even countless people watching the live broadcast.
All eyes were focused on Maud.
Most people had no idea what Maud had just done.
What they saw was that Maud ducked behind the Straw Hats, but the Straw Hats stood motionless as if under a restraining spell.
In this case, just a few people can kill the Straw Hats.
"What did you do to Zoro and the others!?"
The strange behavior of his companions made Luffy glare at Mod.
His skin was red and shiny, and steam continued to emit, but he did not cancel the second gear mode.
Faced with Luffy's question, Mod directly ignored it and turned his head to look at Whitebeard and Akainu in the distance.
call out!
Seeing that Morde ignored him and looked away, Luffy quickly came to Morde without thinking.
"Luffy!"
Seeing Luffy's reckless behavior, Sabo was shocked and subconsciously took a step forward.
However,
Fujitora, who came back for help, rudely created a gravity field that directly pressed on him and Jasmine.
Meanwhile, Luffy attacks Mord.
"Rubber jet bullets!"
The fist covered in armed colors was like a jet gun, hitting Mod's chest like lightning.
The explosive attack came in the blink of an eye, but Mord just reached out with his right hand and easily clamped down on Luffy's wrist.
The offensive created by the rubber jet bullets was melted in an instant.
While restraining Luffy's offensive, Mod did not straighten his gaze to look at Luffy, but continued to look at the situation over Whitebeard and Akainu.
The rather familiar scene made Luffy's eyes widen.
"Luffy, isn't this your 'full power'?"
