The ground of Tree Island No. 14, which was split in half, was covered with frost and potholes, indicating the intensity of the battle.
Xia Qi, who safely retreated outside the battle circle, watched the fierce battle between Mod and Qing Pheasant as a bystander with a subtle mentality.
"Fight head-to-head with the general, but not fall behind..."
Xia Qi's eyes glowed brightly, and he turned to look at the battle on Tree Island No. 13.
Under the leadership of Jaya and Lafayette, Brooke and Jim also showed outstanding fighting power.
They relied on their Devil Fruit abilities to make up for the disadvantage caused by their numbers.
Due to their outstanding performance, the battle has reached this point. Hawkins, who was almost beaten to death by the navy, was not polite and took advantage of the situation to join the battle again.
His help felt like it was about to become the last straw for the navy.
The situation that is gradually becoming clear here has silently affected the battle situation between Maude and Aoki Pheasant.
"See, shadows can't be frozen."
A sneer suddenly appeared on Maud's face.
With a slight movement of thought, a large number of shadows frozen by the Ice Age took the shape of iron caltrops, with black spikes extending from the inside to the outside, easily piercing through the thick ice.
"Besides, my companion is obviously stronger."
Maud raised his hand casually and made a few empty points in the direction of Tree Island No. 13.
There, the navy was gradually showing signs of defeat.
Qing Zhi frowned.
Chapter 152: Aren’t we dreaming
One sentence clarified the situation.
Maude's words can be said to hit the point.
Qing Pheasant's eyes were slightly solemn.
If he continues to fight with Mod here, his colleagues who came with him will fall down one by one until only half of them are left.
Unless he can get rid of Maud in a short time.
But this is obviously impossible to do.
The man in front of him, who had a rather special background and had become extremely powerful in just three years, already had the strength to face him head-on.
In a one-on-one situation, even he couldn't guarantee a guaranteed victory.
We should even feel lucky that only about a week has passed since the end of the war.
In such a short period of time, Mod's [Shadow Inventory] must have been almost zero, and even if there was any, it shouldn't be much.
otherwise,
If Mod uses the shadow move that can sharply increase his power when dealing with Whitebeard, I am afraid the situation will become more difficult and troublesome.
now,
Mod's abilities displayed in the Summit War have been recorded one by one by the Naval Intelligence Department, and analyzed and listed in detail.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this kind of treatment is at the level of the Four Emperors.
Therefore, Aokiji has a certain degree of understanding of Mod's shadow ability, and also knows that Mod has not used all his abilities at once in dozens of fights with him.
So, how to choose now
Qing Pheasant sighed softly in his heart.
Naturally, he did not need to worry about his own situation. Even after his colleagues fell one after another and was besieged by the entire Mod Pirates, he did not think that he would be defeated.
But Aokiji is also not completely sure that he can defeat the entire Mod Pirates on his own.
after all,
Aokiji's behavior is different from Akainu's extreme justice.
Under such circumstances, Aokiji would not let his colleagues continue to make unnecessary sacrifices.
Moreover, the progress of this operation is already half completed.
Although it is unclear whether Trafalgar Ron can be exchanged for the [Living Heart] by using the crew of the Heart Pirates as a bargaining chip, it at least gave Aoji the confidence to give up the second operation.
"What a 'misstep'."
Qingzhi seemed to have made a decision, and his eyes changed slightly.
What he calls a misstep is equivalent to failure.
In fact, he can also wait for [reinforcements] to arrive, but before the reinforcements arrive, Ghost Spider and the others should be cold.
"Ice Age!"
After making the decision, Qing Pheasant immediately activated a large amount of air-conditioning and swept towards Maud.
If we say that the previous ice age was intended to kill Mod.
So, the current ice age is intended to contain Maud.
With different motives, the moves used will also show a certain degree of difference in terms of power and effect.
This ice age that swept towards Mod was obviously focused on the scope of the cold air coverage and the speed of the invasion. It was intended to persuade Mod to retreat, thus ignoring the ice-condensation rate.
Maud, who had fought against Aoki Pheasant several times in the Ice Age before, with the help of Shenwense, instantly realized Aoki Pheasant's plan and the changes in this Ice Age.
"Let me remind you? I just want to force you to make a choice, but it doesn't mean that I will let you get what you want."
Maud narrowed his eyes and knew that Qing Pheasant had already made his choice.
So
What he should do next is to keep causing trouble for Qing Pheasant.
"Shadow Point Path."
The shadows gathered at Maud's feet suddenly turned into large-scale waves, sticking to the ground and flowing rapidly towards the Ice Age roaring from the front.
Relying on the shadow's free shaping characteristics, Mod can easily reproduce the moves of some strong men.
Such as Ace's Fire Fist and Doflamingo's Holy Bullet.
And this Zhaoying acupoint is a replica of Blackbeard's dark acupoint.
However, the [Shadow Box] space developed by Mod is not yet mature.
Therefore, it is not possible to inhale a large number of objects into another space after laying darkness on the ground like a dark acupoint.
However, the shadow acupoint also has other abilities extended by the characteristics of shadow.
"Qingji? You can't freeze my shadow, does that mean? My shadow can constantly 'destroy' your moves."
Under Mod's control, a large-scale shadow wave spread rapidly from the ground to the front.
In an instant, the fan-shaped area in front of Maud was covered with surging shadow waves.
The cold air of the Ice Age roared in, freezing the shadow waves surging on the ground within the thick ice, and then swept towards Maude with unabated force.
"If you want to destroy, go ahead and destroy..."
Qing Pheasant had no desire to be aggressive and calmly glanced at the frozen shadow Liubo on the bright surface.
His whole body gradually transformed into elements, and then turned into a burst of ice crystals flying into the air, heading towards Tree Island No. 13 where the Ghost Spider and other marines were.
Now that some of the chips have been obtained, there is no need to fight with Mod here. Minimizing losses is the most important thing to do at the moment.
Qing Pheasant's actions and movements were seen by Maud.
"What are you in a hurry for? You'd better stay and play with me for a while!"
Maude stretched out her hand to face the sweeping ice age, and suddenly clenched her fist.
"Shadow Point Path, Strangling Vine!"
The shadow waves frozen in the ice suddenly turned into countless thorns covered with spikes, breaking through the ice from all over the ice, like a mouth full of intertwined sharp teeth, closing in a sudden .
Boom, click! ! !
The huge ice layer was directly crushed by countless shadow thorns.
Suddenly, a large amount of broken ice fell from mid-air and hit the No. 14 tree island that was split in half.
The continuous impact of falling to the ground made the battered Tree Island No. 14 finally unable to hold on, and it gradually sank toward the seabed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Partial armed color enhancement."
Maude didn't pay attention to the situation of the tree island under her feet, and her sharp eyes followed the movements of the blue pheasant.
Under the control of his thoughts, the blooming shadow thorns, after crushing the ice, rushed towards the moving blue pheasant that turned into an ice caltrop with overwhelming force.
"Are you entangled in armed colors..."
Qing Pheasant looked at the shadow thorns covered with armed colors rushing at the front, his eyes slightly focused, trying to find a gap that he could pass through among the shadow thorns.
However,
Maude had a strong desire to stop Qing Pheasant. How could he leave a chance for Qing Pheasant when he had the upper hand
The group of thorns covered with armed colors gathered together into an airtight offensive, slamming towards the blue pheasant in mid-air.
Realizing that there was no way to pass through the offensive, Aokiji decisively canceled the elementalization.
After returning to his human form, he turned from defense to offense without hesitation, releasing high-level armed colors and covering his arms. At the same time, he condensed an ice blade also covered with armed colors in the palm of his hand.
Facing the endless shadow offensive that can change freely, defending will only lead to slow death.
The only way to win against the shadow offensive is to attack with force.
The Navy has already studied this thoroughly.
Although Aokiji has made a decision that puts the lives of his colleagues first, he will not miss the opportunity to fight back.
"Ice Thorn Cone."
The green pheasant's eyes were filled with red light, and he stabbed the shadow thorn with his knife.
"room."
At this moment, a hemispherical domain space appeared out of thin air, covering Mod, Qing Pheasant, and even the Shadow Thorns.
The appearance of the surgical field caused Qingzhi's expression to change slightly.
Maud raised the corners of her mouth slightly and thought to herself: Didn't you expect that? On my side... But there is still one person who has not appeared.
"Transfer."
Luo, whose aura emerged from the darkness, activated his ability with an indifferent expression.
Under his control, the green pheasant that was originally facing the shadow thorns instantly turned its back to the shadow thorns with a soft swishing sound.
The extremely powerful knife that was supposed to stab the shadow thorn was naturally stabbed in the air rather awkwardly.
Immediately afterwards, the shadow thorns pounced from behind Aoki Pheasant, mercilessly slapping Aochi Pheasant heavily on its back.
Bang bang bang!
Accompanied by several air explosions at very short intervals.
The blue pheasant was knocked away by the shadow thorns, and its body turned into a black shadow, flying straight to the tree No. 15 Yarkman Mangrove further away.
at the same time.
In order to shorten the distance between him and Qing Pheasant, Maude had an idea and exchanged places with Shadow Thorn.
Uh-huh!
In an instant, Maud arrived at the position in mid-air where the shadow thorns had just knocked the blue pheasant away.
"Hegemony."
While in mid-air, Maud's body was filled with conspicuous aura.
Bits of white light appeared one by one from Qiushui Dao's body like fireflies.
"cut!"
Maud swung his knife suddenly.
The firefly light on the Shui Shui Knife suddenly became strong, turning into a crescent-shaped slash full of dazzling light, and chased the Qing Pheasant as it flew out.
