The shadow clone waved the ferret covered in military colors, blocking the Cong Yunqie that was coming from the white beard.
Clang!
Sparks fly.
The powerful force is transmitted to the ferret sword through Cong Yunqie.
The shadow clone without buffs was directly knocked away by Whitebeard.
The shadow clone that was lifted into the air was not seriously injured.
It struggled to stabilize its body, and immediately used the Moon Step to hover in the air.
Using the signal of tapping the handle of the knife twice quickly with his index finger, Bailey switched from the long knife form to the double gun.
Then, the shadow clone held the two guns, pressed down the muzzle, pointed at the taller and stronger Whitebeard and pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang!
The lead bullets wrapped in armed colors flew out of the barrel of the gun, drawing straight trajectories in the air, heading straight towards Whitebeard's face.
However, Whitebeard had no intention of hiding.
After using the color of his knowledge to determine the impact point of the lead bullet, Whitebeard directly covered his face with a layer of armed color, and then stabbed Maud's body with the knife.
"So cruel..."
Maude didn't want to be stabbed, so she had no choice but to retreat.
Dangdang...!
The shadow bullet hit Whitebeard's face first, but the thunder was loud and the raindrops were small, and it couldn't even scratch Whitebeard's skin.
But Maude retreated in time, causing the white-bearded Cong Yunqi to stab into the air.
But without Maud's sword, the concussive force gathered on Whitebeard's right fist turned into a shock wave and hit Maud who was retreating.
As Mod retreated, he calmly slashed out a hegemonic shock wave, which directly offset Whitebeard's attack.
After the shock waves from both sides cancel each other out, they calm down.
Whitebeard crossed the smoke and rushed in front of Maud at a speed that did not match his size.
"This doesn't look like an old man with organ failure. Fortunately, Luo was not asked to treat Whitebeard..."
Seeing how ferocious Whitebeard was, Maude actually still had time to think about things that had nothing to do with the battle.
"You can't just swap places with your shadow clone..."
Facing a strong man like Whitebeard who is proficient in top-level Haki, if he rashly exchanges places with the shadow clone, there is a high probability that the shadow clone will be killed by Whitebeard's armed sword.
at the same time,
Since the shadow is not here, there is no way to continue to hurt Whitebeard during the sword fight...
Whitebeard must have expected this, so he attacked in one go without giving him a chance to breathe.
Maud's thoughts were racing.
Whitebeard grasped the handle of the knife tightly with both hands and raised Cong Yunqie high.
The Cong Yunqi blade, covered in armament colors, pulled out black and red arcs of electricity in the air and struck towards Maude head on.
Maud's eyes narrowed slightly, and she took a step back, holding the handle of the autumn water knife tightly with both hands.
laugh!
The solid armament color solidly settled on Qiu Shui Dao's body.
Immediately,
Maude poured all her strength into the body of the Shui Shui Sword, and with a movement similar to that of swinging a bat, from bottom to top, she slashed at the bushyun cut down by Whitebeard.
Just when the swords of both sides are about to meet with all their strength.
The domineering energy surrounding their respective swords collided with each other first.
In an instant,
Countless black and red slender arcs of electricity were scurrying around the intersection of domineering energy.
Across this turbulent black-red electric arc, Qiu Shui and Cong Yunqie had no contact with each other, as if they were each cutting on an invisible hard object.
despite this,
The power transmitted from the blade was still wildly intertwining and colliding in mid-air.
The residual power that overflowed from it caused dense cracks to appear on the surrounding ground.
crackling
The next moment,
The cracked ground turned into countless gravels, which were blown four to five meters into the air.
"I was blocked again..."
During the fierce confrontation, Whitebeard silently looked at Maud in front of him.
This time, he didn't hold the knife with one hand or just using his fist, but held the knife with both hands and used all his strength.
But he was still blocked by the kid in front of him.
"It's been a long time since I've had a knife fight with someone like this..."
Involuntarily, a familiar figure gradually overlapped with Maud in front of him.
Just as Maud and Whitebeard were sword-fighting for the second time, a scorching temperature enveloped them both.
It's Akainu's attack
Chapter 96 It makes sense
This is when Maud and Whitebeard are inseparable.
Akainu, who had regained his form, attacked Whitebeard without hesitation.
Big fire!
The magma flowing from Akainu's right arm quickly gathered into a huge lava fist.
Immediately,
A fist made of condensed magma was launched with a thrust that was like a volcano erupting.
The huge lava fist, exuding heat that seemed to burn away all the evil in the world, came to Whitebeard and Maude without any hindrance.
This huge fire-breathing shot carrying the ultimate murderous intent did not take Maud's situation into consideration at all.
The scorching firelight came first, covering the corners of Maud and Whitebeard's eyes.
"This guy Akainu..."
Out of the corner of her eye, Maud glanced at the huge lava fist burning with a lot of flames coming straight towards him, and her eyes could not help but become cold.
Before the big fire was about to come, Mod didn't hesitate at all. The shadow clone let go of Bailey first, and then directly exchanged positions with the shadow clone.
Uh-huh!
The next moment.
Maude appeared in mid-air and grabbed the double guns that Bailey had transformed into.
The shadow clone that replaced him was holding a shadow knife that was almost the same in appearance as Qiu Shui, and faced Whitebeard directly.
But this is the time when the big flames will suddenly attack. If Whitebeard wants to kill the shadow clone, he has to use his body to resist Akainu's full firepower.
"Magma bastard."
Catching lead bullets with your face and catching Akainu's fire breath with your body are two different things.
Whitebeard would naturally not be able to force his body to receive Akainu's big fire breath just for a chance to kill the Shadow Clone.
Mod also saw this and did not hesitate to exchange places with the shadow clone.
and,
Shadow will be afraid of attacks covered with weapon colors, but he doesn't have to be afraid of powerful natural attacks such as Akainu and Aokiji Ace.
Under the control of Mod's command, the shadow clone facing Whitebeard immediately transformed into a two-dimensional form and turned into a shadow covering the ground.
Whitebeard ignored the shadow's movements and slashed at the large flamethrower that Akainu had hit.
Kaka—
Light traces first appeared on the huge lava fist, and then it was shattered into hundreds of fragments, which were shot at Akainu's body like a shotgun.
Pfft, pfft.
The flaming fragments hit Akainu's face and body one after another, but they were like stones sinking into a swamp, only causing insignificant waves.
in the air.
Maud took advantage of the situation and retracted his shadow, immediately removed his moon step, fell from the air to the ground, and looked at Akainu coldly.
"Akainu, I won't pretend I didn't see the attack just now."
"Why, with your ability to swap places with shadows at any time, it's not difficult to avoid the range of the 'Big Fire Spitfire'. I really 'trust' your ability to avoid danger, so I made that judgment." .”
Akainu turned his head and glanced at Mod, then raised his hand to adjust the angle of his hat.
"As far as the results are concerned, my judgment was accurate."
"Heh, that makes sense."
A dangerous smile appeared on Maud's face, and instead of continuing to argue about this matter, he let Bailey turn into a single gun and hold it in his left hand.
Subsequently,
Maud stopped where he was, slowly calmed down his emotions, and looked at Akainu with calm eyes.
This gesture made it clear that he wanted to ask Akainu to take action first.
Akainu didn't care either.
His self-confidence comes from his own strong strength, and strong strength is his confidence.
not far away.
After slashing away Akainu's "Big Fire Breathing", Whitebeard slowly sheathed the knife, his chest heaving slightly and he was panting.
The successive high-intensity battles, as well as the two sword fights with Mod just now, were pushing his body to the edge of the cliff.
Declining physical strength is an unavoidable phenomenon for aging people.
But compared to the problem of lack of physical strength, the most serious injury is the organs that have reached their limit.
"That little devil..."
While panting, Whitebeard thought back to the situation when he and Maud were fighting swords just now.
In those few seconds, something long-lost and deep in my heart was awakened.
only…
Now he has lost the qualification to enjoy himself.
If it were anyone else, he would have collapsed long ago.
But he relied on his strong will to be worthy of the title of the strongest in the world, allowing this body like a fire in the wind to continue to evaporate residual heat.
However,
Even if the [willpower] in this world is a force that can turn defeat into victory in desperate situations, it has its limits.
"I've traveled long enough..."
When the body shows signs of certain symptoms, Whitebeard seems to be able to see the end of the body.
However, he had already made up his mind to die here.
Therefore, even if his body can no longer bear his will, he must squeeze out the last bit of life force and perform his duties as an elder and captain to the best of his ability.
Although Whitebeard was only panting slightly, Mod and Akainu were keenly aware that Whitebeard's breath was weakening.
"You are no match for the difficulties of time, Whitebeard."
Akainu's right fist turned into boiling lava, and he walked towards Whitebeard.
