Some people also say that there are as many overlord-like and domineering characters in the new world as there are crucian carp crossing the river.
There is no way to verify whether this statement is true or false.
This is like a group of pirates in a certain pirate group who are proficient in using the Moon Walk, but they boast that the Moon Walk is just a trivial skill, as if everyone can easily learn it...
But in fact, there are only a very small number of pirates on the sea who can use the Moon Step freely.
The same goes for Overlord Color Haki.
It is said that they are like crucian carp crossing the river, but what you can really see is only a handful.
However, one thing is for sure.
Those powerful men who reign at the top of the new world are indeed overlords.
Therefore, if you want to thrive in the new world, whether you can develop the courage to compete with overlords is an extremely important criterion.
Otherwise, they can only be like some of the navy brought by the tea dolphins, in front of Mod's overbearing aura, they fainted and woke up, woke up and fainted, and could not do anything.
Anyway, Mod thinks that Overlord Color is a very convenient board-clearing skill, so no matter what situation he encounters, he uses Overlord Color first.
And with such a domineering expression, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Determining life and death here? Haha!"
Blackbeard threw his head back and laughed loudly. His laughter caused veins to spread along the corners of his eyes. When he looked at Maud, his eyes were like those of a hellhound that chooses people to devour.
"Forget it, I worked so hard here not just for a meaningless fight!"
This man with strong forbearance came here for the power of shock.
Therefore, in his opinion, any battle that has nothing to do with the Shock Fruit is not only boring, but also meaningless.
Including when he met Ace and other remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates at sea, he avoided fighting whenever he could.
This is what Blackbeard does.
Of course, the essence is to be able to stretch and bend. To put it in a harsher way, it means giving up.
After hearing Blackbeard's words, the people from Fujitora's side and Ace's side slowly moved their eyes to Blackbeard's body.
Lafayette and Jaya, who had just finished the battle, dragged the unconscious Jack and Runti to behind Maud.
Green Pheasant was exuding air-conditioning and stared at Blackbeard thoughtfully.
Maud looked at Blackbeard and smiled: "How can it be meaningless? Whether it's a mistake or an accident, since you are all here, then... right now, here and now, let the enemy escape from this It’s the perfect time to bow out in this murderous era.”
Having said this, Maud paused for a moment. Regardless of the reaction of everyone who heard this sentence, he said in a tone without any consciousness:
"What? I'm not the only one who thinks so, right?"
“…”
Such a domineering speech caused a dead silence in the venue.
Everyone's gazes looking at Maud were quietly tinged with a layer of unknown meaning.
It is precisely the sharp contrast of Blackbeard's resignation that greatly highlights the domineering posture of Maud when he said these words.
On the mushroom rock.
Ace, Marco, and Bista, the three key members of the Whitebeard Pirates, were looking at Mod below solemnly.
"If we stay, we will only help Blackbeard share the risk, so why don't we retreat temporarily?"
Foil Bista, who has always had a calm personality, prefers to evacuate this place of right and wrong immediately after identifying the situation.
And this kind of judgment is not entirely due to the desire for stability due to personality.
The main thing is that the four forces are gathered here. If a fight breaks out, the most unwelcome person will be the three of them.
The most important thing is that they have Marco's extremely maneuverable flying ability. As long as they leave this place of right and wrong, they can transfer all risks to Blackbeard.
"I won't back down."
There were flickering elemental flames in Ace's eyes, and he said solemnly: "As that guy said, now is an opportunity..."
Even after going through the war at the top, this man with the blood of the Pirate King still doesn't understand what it means to retreat.
Ace, who has carried out this code of conduct to the end, even made a stupid move a few years ago by going to Onigashima alone to defeat Kaido of the Beasts.
If Kaido of the Beasts hadn't happened to be on an expedition with a large force at that time, with Ace's character, if he had faced Kaido on Ghost Island, there was a high probability that Kaido would have beaten him to death with a mace.
"Ace, Bista is right. If we choose to stay, we will only indirectly help Ti... Blackbeard."
Marco stretched out his hand and put it on Ace's shoulder. His opinion was obviously the same as Bista's.
In this current situation, their advantage over Blackbeard is their ability to fly away from here at any time.
Once they leave, even if the Mod Pirates don't get involved in the chaos, the Blackbeard gang who are left alone will have to face the threat from the navy monster Fujitora.
Ace is not stupid and can recognize the situation at a glance.
But Ace was unwilling to retreat under pressure.
He stared at Maud and Blackbeard, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Dad's body... is still in Maud's hands!"
“…”
Marco and Bista's expressions changed slightly.
On the port.
Fujitora and the other marines were looking at Mod who spoke domineeringly with surprised expressions.
On the other hand, the same is true for Blackbeard's group.
The crew members under Maude were all calm and composed.
I even attacked the Holy Land and killed the Celestial Dragons...
At this point, no matter what decision Maud makes at any time or place, they can accept it calmly and stick with him to the death.
"Why aren't you talking?"
In this increasingly dull atmosphere, Maud smiled.
After Blackbeard's gang and Whitebeard's gang appeared on the scene, Mod's first reaction was surprise, but then he had the idea of letting Blackbeard's gang and even the remnants of Whitebeard's gang exit here.
But the reason that prompted him to have such thoughts here and now was not entirely that he was overconfident in his own strength, but that he had a strong general like Qing Zhi under his command.
In addition, Uncle Yixiao's position must also be to eradicate dangerous pirates, so he will definitely give priority to taking care of the Blackbeard Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates.
Clang
Maud, who grasped all the connections at this moment, pulled out Qiushui simply.
The sound of the sharp blade being unsheathed fell on Blackbeard's ears at this moment, but it seemed particularly harsh.
"In this case, I assume you have acquiesced to the proposal, and here... we will fight until death!"
As he spoke one sentence after another, Maude showed a domineering attitude and exuded a frightening bloody aura.
Everyone present, just feeling the aura emanating from Mod, was enough to conclude...
This man who has repeatedly made headlines is not joking, but he really intends to fight here until death!
madman.
Blackbeard's eyes were obviously bloodshot, and he gave Maud a fair evaluation in his heart.
However, he didn't want to follow Maud's plan and engage in a useless fight here.
To be more precise, if a life-and-death fight started here, the only one who would be unlucky would be Blackbeard!
"Haha!!!!"
Blackbeard suddenly laughed loudly, and glanced at the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates on the mushroom-shaped rock from the corner of his eye.
In these few seconds, both Marco and the others, as well as Blackbeard, understood the situation on the field and each knew what kind of decision was appropriate.
What Blackbeard is most worried about is that the three Marcos who can share the firepower will decisively evacuate here.
While his thoughts were spinning rapidly, Blackbeard slowly stopped laughing and shouted loudly:
"Brother Ace, as you can see, now is a great opportunity to avenge dad, so do you want to join forces with me for the time being and get rid of the guy who killed dad first?"
Just talking about the importance in the Whitebeard Pirates, there is no doubt that Marco is the main one, but Blackbeard pointed out Ace's name.
This is because Blackbeard knows enough about Ace's character.
And his purpose is to keep Ace.
As long as Ace stays, Marco and Bista will naturally be forced to stay.
“…”
On the mushroom-shaped rock, Ace's eyes narrowed when he heard Blackbeard's words.
"Ace, don't be impulsive."
"Our team is still in the open sea, and the group of navy at the port is not easy to deal with, so it is better to leave here first."
Marco and Bista frowned, looked at Ace at the same time, and each said.
"Feel sorry… "
Ace took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I don't want to run away like that."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ace raised his right hand with his palm facing the sky.
Great Yan Emperor!
From the palm of Ace's hand, a majestic and surging flame was released out of thin air, and it quickly condensed into a huge fireball that exuded an astonishing temperature.
This move, Emperor Yan, is Ace's strongest move.
Before the war, when he released this Flame Emperor move, he had to use his whole body to release flames in order to condense this Flame Emperor move in a short time.
But now, after his first battle, his strength has obviously improved by leaps and bounds.
Now with the right palm alone, in less than a second or two, he can release and condense the Great Flame Emperor, which is substantially enhanced in terms of power and size compared to before.
The huge scorching fireball hung steadily in Ace's palm.
The bright firelight dispelled the haze brought by the dark clouds and illuminated every corner of the port.
"Hahaha..."
Seeing Ace directly use his strongest move, Blackbeard smiled deeply and powerfully, eager to see Ace smash this big fireball towards Mod.
Just when Blackbeard was looking forward to it, Ace's cold eyes looked over without any warning.
"Um?"
Blackbeard was startled.
Ace directly threw the Great Flame Emperor, which contained astonishingly high temperatures, towards the Blackbeard group below.
"Hey, Brother Ace, did you hit the wrong person?!"
Blackbeard yelled in shock, but the movement of his hand did not stop at all, and a flowing black mist appeared in the palm of his hand.
Yuzhiliu and others watched the huge fireball hit their heads, and they just made the most basic defensive posture.
They knew very well what their captain was capable of, so they were not worried at all.
Dark water!
Blackbeard did not betray their trust. He stretched out his right palm filled with black mist and faced the Great Flame Emperor who fell on his head.
The moment he touched the Great Flame Emperor, the black mist swirling and flowing on Blackbeard's palm was like a black hole, sucking all the flames into the darkness.
The firelight reflected in any corner of the port disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"It's really dangerous, Brother Ace, you almost burned off my eyebrows!"
After neutralizing Ace's strongest move, Blackbeard looked frightened.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that when he defeated the Great Yan Emperor, he was as easy as squeezing out a cigarette butt with the soles of his feet.
From this we can also see how powerful the Dark Fruit is.
"The dark fruit..."
The blue pheasant's eyes showed a solemn look.
He had heard Garp talk about the deeds of the Rocks Pirates 38 years ago.
