Just when the Blackbeard Pirates thought they had stopped Mod's attempt to kill Whitebeard...
Maude suddenly raised a knife and pierced Whitebeard's heart.
And at this moment,
The two lead bullets fired by Van Oka hit Maud's left leg and left hand respectively.
But it was too late.
Maud's knife took away Whitebeard's last chance of life.
"Blackbeard Pirates..."
Although he was shot several times, Maude looked calm and did not panic at all.
Chapter 99: Maud is dead
The knife stabbed Whitebeard's chest.
It was supposed to retain a ray of life so that Luo, who was always on call, could take out the Zhenzhen Fruit.
But the arrival of the Blackbeard Pirates made Mod instantly change his mind.
You don't have to get the Zhenzhen Fruit, but you must get Whitebeard's experience points.
This is the primary purpose of Mod's efforts to participate in the war on the top.
then,
This sudden change of mind directly pierced Whitebeard's vitality.
“…”
Whitebeard lowered his head and looked at Maud, who was determined to stab him with a knife even though he had to resist several shots with his body.
As his life began to count down, he vaguely sensed an unusual and clear purpose from Maud.
Not just to rob him of the reputation he had spent a lifetime galloping on the sea...
It seems that there are other unknown purposes.
"My life... ends here..."
Whitebeard raised his head with difficulty and took a distant look at Teach, the culprit who caused all the trouble.
If his life had not come to an end, he would have killed Teach at any cost.
But it was too late.
Whitebeard turned to look at the chaotic battlefield, his eyelids slowly drooped and closed.
Darkness was gradually squeezing his vision.
At the very end,
The picture he saw automatically filtered out the smoke, the flash of swords, and the smoke of gunpowder, leaving only the silhouettes of his sons.
The darkness that eroded his vision suddenly stopped.
"Listen up, Whitebeard Pirates...!"
Whitebeard looked at the crew members on the war, as if he was having a flashback. Even though his heart was pierced by a knife blade, he still had the strength to speak.
A look of surprise appeared in Maud's eyes, and when she was about to turn her wrist to completely kill Whitebeard's vitality...
But after seeing Whitebeard mustering up the last bit of strength to continue what he just said, Maud paused.
He gave Whitebeard the opportunity to say his last words.
"This is the last captain's order... You... must return to the New World alive!!!"
The words he spoke with the last of his strength spread throughout Malinvando in an instant.
When the last syllable disappeared in the sea breeze, Whitebeard's eyelids drooped.
The darkness that had stopped for a moment began to encroach on his vision again.
When there was only a white line left in the light in front of him, Whitebeard looked at Maud in front of him.
He was aware of Maud's deliberate pause just now.
What a strange little devil...
Whitebeard finally closed his eyelids.
There is no resentment, no anger, just the calm acceptance of death.
As Whitebeard's last vestige of life dissipated.
The huge and immeasurable profits were poured into Maud's body roughly like a rushing river.
The pain from the injury disappeared in an instant.
The expected huge profits still surprised Maude.
At the same time, the remaining duration of the shadow gathering place began a single-digit countdown.
On the battlefield.
After hearing Whitebeard's last order, the pirates headed by the captain were stunned.
"Last order!?"
"Dad...Dad!!!"
"This is not true!!!"
They stared at the lifeless white beard, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Such a reaction would undoubtedly be fatal in times of war.
Moreover, the navy does not talk about morality with pirates. Taking advantage of the distraction of the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates, they seized the opportunity to kill them.
In just a few seconds, a bunch of pirates were chopped to the ground.
If the Shichibukai hadn't also focused on Whitebeard, the captains who fought them would have been defeated in an instant.
"I really didn't expect that he would succeed..."
Doflamingo suppressed the smile that often hung on his face, and looked coldly at the multiple serious gunshot wounds on Mod's body, with a murderous intent flashing in his eyes behind his sunglasses.
"Such an injury is no different from death on the battlefield."
Doflamingo's murderous intent surged.
At the moment when Maude successfully took away Whitebeard's head, his desire to kill Maude was stronger than ever.
And now, it is obviously an opportunity that cannot be missed.
"You're dead, Fufu..."
The numerous concerns brought about by his identity and position could no longer restrain Doflamingo's strong murderous intention.
"Are you dead, Whitebeard..."
Hawkeye turned his head to look at Whitebeard's standing body, then turned his gaze slightly and landed on Maud.
A wisp of fighting spirit quietly emerged.
only…
Looking at Mod's injuries, Hawkeye and Doflamingo's judgments were basically the same.
To seize Whitebeard's head at such a price, although he can gain a reputation that can shock the whole world from now on, it will also push himself step by step into the abyss called death.
"For the sake of fame, you don't hesitate to go to this extent, a creature like a man..."
The empress looked at Maude expressionlessly, as if she were looking at a dead person.
The Shichibukai stopped naturally.
As the representative paddling athletes in the war, they felt at ease whether they contributed or not.
"Whitebeard was killed by Shichibukai Mod...!!!"
"Is the world's strongest man dead like this..."
Some of the navy who were closer were shocked by the scene of Maud stabbing Whitebeard to death.
In front of the execution platform.
"Dad..."
Ace was stunned.
His heart seemed to have stopped beating at this moment, making him feel breathless.
"Ace?"
At this critical moment of escape, Sabo and Luffy looked worriedly at the shocked Ace.
On the high platform in front of the Navy Headquarters.
The members of the Blackbeard Pirates are based here.
The development is similar to that in the original work.
Blackbeard, who was determined to visit Impel Prison, still brought out several extremely vicious world-class criminals, as well as the traitorous former warden of Impel Prison, Ame Nohiru.
They appeared in a high-profile manner, but were overshadowed by the death of Whitebeard.
"Hey, my dear dad was killed like this?"
Blackbeard looked at Maud in surprise, who wanted to kill Whitebeard even if he took bullets.
That was a gun shot that contained the aura of armed domination.
Although the vital points were avoided, four gunshots penetrated Maud's left hand, right hand, left leg, and waist and abdomen.
Multiple penetrating injuries were enough to cut off Mod's retreat.
This makes Blackbeard really unable to understand Maud's behavior.
Based on his understanding of Maude, he didn't think Maude would do such an irrational and stupid behavior even if it was to gain the honor of "being able to personally defeat the strongest man."
But the facts are before our eyes.
But it doesn’t matter.
"Kill him first."
From the corner of his eye, Blackbeard glanced at Fan Oka, who was wearing a black hat, an eyepatch on his right eye, and a black cloak.
Whitebeard is dead.
He had to get the power of the Shock Fruit before the demonic power residing in Whitebeard's body left his body.
Fortunately, the fusion between Whitebeard and Zhenzhen Fruit is very high.
So even if Whitebeard dies, it will take some time for the demonic power that represents the Shock Fruit to break away from Whitebeard's body.
There is not enough time, but Blackbeard is confident that he can do it.
After hearing Blackbeard's order, Van Oka filled his favorite gun with ammunition and raised the muzzle again.
Without basically taking any precautions, he fired three shots at Maud, who he considered a dead man.
Bang bang bang!
Three lead bullets wrapped in military colors broke through the air and passed through the smoke, heading straight for the motionless Maud's vitals.
"Room!"
At this moment, a huge hemispherical space appeared out of thin air, directly covering half of the square near the harbor.
Luo, who had been waiting for a long time, took action.
"Turn around."
Luo raised his index and middle fingers and exchanged the position of a stone beside him with Maude.
Uh-huh!
Maud, whose injuries were so severe that he could be called a cripple, flashed to Luo's side in an instant.
The three lead bullets fell into the air and made three big craters on the ground with a loud bang.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the hemispherical space, Doflamingo's face fell first before anyone else had any reaction.
