Sweat broke out on the white-bearded forehead, and he looked at Akainu who was striding forward with an expressionless expression.
Maude stood there, silently looking at the white beard that highlighted the decline.
In the sword fight just now, he could actually feel that he had the upper hand.
This also means that Whitebeard's condition has reached a point where there is no need to delay.
He would feel sorry for Whitebeard, but he would not have any empathy.
This man who once shocked the world in the old days has already experienced the scenery on the top of the mountain.
It should come to an end one day.
Inside the venue.
As Maude watched, Akainu's pace towards Whitebeard gradually increased, and finally he started running at a gallop.
There was no detour, just driving the magma-formed fist towards Whitebeard's body.
Whitebeard did not evade, and his fist, which gathered concussive power, suddenly faced Akainu's magma fist.
Bang!
The two fists that refused to give in collided in mid-air, and hot air waves surged out.
Even though his aura was weakening, the concussive power of Whitebeard's fists still firmly blocked Akainu's hot magma.
only…
The attack was blocked.
But blood flowed quietly from Whitebeard's mouth.
Akainu saw this and smiled coldly.
Maud, who was watching, naturally saw this scene.
His calm eyes fell on Akainu.
Then,
Mod directly took back the fixed execution platform and controlled the shadows of the Straw Hats.
Lost the limitations of shadow.
The Straw Hats are free and the execution platform collapses.
At this moment, led by Sabomarco, they finally saw the opportunity to rescue Ace very clearly.
After creating the critical chaos, Maude did not pay attention to the subsequent situation of the execution platform. Instead, he adjusted his position as if he was strolling in the garden.
And then,
Mod looked directly at Akainu's back, stretched out his arms, pressed the back of the Shui Shui sword on his shoulders, and made a hegemonic start.
"I would like to see... are you planning to stop Sabo and the others from rescuing Ace, or are you planning to stop me?"
Overlord!
With a slight smile, Maud slashed out with his sword.
The cylindrical terrifying shock wave went straight towards Akainu's back.
"Um?"
Akainu's expression changed slightly.
In an instant,
The dazzling white light was like a big mouth, swallowing him and Whitebeard inside.
Chapter 97: Lost
With the blessing of 500 shadows with a bounty of over 100 million, Mod could feel the power pouring out of his body.
Like an inexhaustible supply.
This is the benefit that Shadow Gathering brings to Mod.
Of course, the overlord that was killed in this state was several times more powerful than before.
The white light that seemed to annihilate all objects along its path swallowed up the figures of Akainu and Whitebeard in the blink of an eye.
boom!
White light passes by!
The cylindrical Hegemony shock wave went straight through the location of Akainu and Whitebeard, grinding out a huge semicircular tunnel on the ground.
Subsequently,
The shock wave continued unabated, bombarding the island rocks in the harbor that were higher than the square.
Along with the huge roar, every island rock block passed along the way was penetrated by conspicuous tunnels by the shock wave.
It was not until the surface of the sea that the residual power of the shock wave gradually disappeared, but it also left the offshore sea of Malinfando calm.
This terrifying power fully reflects the upper limit of the Shadow Gathering Ground's capabilities.
only…
Mod sheathed his sword and looked calmly at Whitebeard, who was knocked back dozens of meters by the shock wave of the Overlord in the semi-circular tunnel.
The blood that originally only reached Whitebeard's chin spread directly to Whitebeard's strong chest after this attack.
The shock wave just now probably aggravated Whitebeard's internal injuries, causing him to vomit blood again, staining his chest red.
"Did you use the fruit-shaking ability to offset part of the shock wave at the last moment..."
Maude's eyes glanced over Whitebeard's blood-stained chest.
With Akainu's "loving assistance", he thought that this powerful move would become the last straw for Whitebeard.
In the end, Whitebeard held him back.
As for Akainu.
Users with natural abilities are immune to attacks other than Haki. Even if they are blown away by the shock wave of the Hegemony into magma blocks the size of fingernails, they can still return to their original shape in a short time.
"It's obvious that we are at the end of our battle..."
Ignoring Akainu who was gathering, Mod's eyes were always locked on Whitebeard.
"You must accept his experience points before the duration of the shadow gathering place ends."
Maude glanced at Akainu, who had already constructed half of his body, with his sword hanging at his side, and then strode towards Whitebeard.
In the tunnel, White Beard was holding his chest that was feeling severe pain. The blood on his face gradually faded and was wet with sweat.
The excruciating pain was nothing to him.
The real trouble is not knowing how long the body can last.
Whitebeard slowly raised his head, looking past Maud and Akainu at the melee in front of the execution platform.
As the execution platform collapsed, Sabo, Jasmine, Marco and the Straw Hat Pirates, who had a common goal, put unprecedented pressure on the navy.
It seemed that in the next second, Ace might be taken away by the combined forces of the revolutionary army and pirates.
"Ace."
Seeing that the situation in front of the execution platform was favorable to his side, Whitebeard's eyes flashed with luster, and he turned to look at Maud, who was striding towards him.
This little devil has had a strong presence since the beginning of the war.
First, he personally controlled the situation on the execution platform, and then he personally destroyed the situation he had just controlled...
The reason why he did this was to take his own head.
A young and energetic kid like this dreams of being able to step on his own body and make his reputation resound throughout the sea in a short period of time.
He has encountered many since the great pirate era began.
Most of them couldn't even see him, and they just suffered at the hands of the crew members under his command.
Even if there are a few outstanding little devils who can see his face, they are not qualified to challenge him head-on.
But today is different.
Whitebeard knew it all.
The end of his journey is here.
But Ace must not fall until he is rescued.
With this will, even if the body is dead
He must at least open a way for his sons to retreat safely.
“…”
At this moment when even saying a word would be a waste of precious energy, Whitebeard was silent, exuding an oppressive aura.
Akainu condensed half of his body, looked at Maud who was walking towards Whitebeard with an expressionless face, and said coldly: "Bacardi Mo..."
As soon as the words were spoken, half of the newly condensed magma body was blown away by the overlord that was killed by Moder.
"Now, I'm not interested in telling you any big truths."
Mod didn't even look at Akainu, whose body was blown away by the overlord again, and went straight towards Whitebeard.
Now he no longer needs to consider his position.
Not to mention that he would not pretend to explain to Akainu why he also attacked him at this time.
Stepping into the attack range in one fell swoop, Moder stamped his right foot on the ground.
Bang!
The ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked, sending up bursts of smoke and dust.
Maude flashed and came to Whitebeard.
The Qiu Shui sword covered with armed domineering energy cut through the air and slashed towards Whitebeard's vital part.
Whitebeard ignored the "protest reactions" coming from all parts of his body and dragged the knife towards the autumn water that Maude was cutting.
Clang!
The blades, each covered in armament colors, suddenly collided together.
The fierce collision sent out fleeting sparks and rolled up heavy air waves at the same time.
As soon as the air wave started to gain momentum, Qiu Shui and Cong Yunqie collided again.
Clang, Clang, Clang...!
Without the slightest pause, each other's black knives slashed at each other with violent force, and then clashed frequently in mid-air.
It is no longer a sword fight, nor is it a sword fight, nor is it a sword fight, but a pure sword fight.
Every time the blades collide, turbulent air waves will be shaken, causing the surrounding ground to crack and leave cracks.
Akainu, who had regained his body shape, looked at Maud and Whitebeard who were fighting fiercely with a gloomy expression.
Hegemony twice.
Although it didn't hurt him, it disgusted him.
With his eyesight, he could easily see that Mod had the upper hand in the attack.
But that didn't stop him from wanting to send a big fire breath to Maud and Whitebeard again.
"oh?"
Just when Akainu was about to take action, the movement coming from the execution platform attracted his attention.
Following the sound, what comes into view is
But it was the scene where the revolutionary Sabo broke through his own defense line and rescued Fire Fist Ace, and then Straw Hat Luffy used his extended left hand to pull Sabo and Ace away from the execution platform.
Lost...!
Akainu's face immediately darkened.
Compared to killing Whitebeard here, the significance of executing Ace is more profound.
In front of the execution platform.
