The shadow pillar, which has both physical and hardness attributes, easily penetrated the divine fire Shiranui thrown by Ace, and then shot towards Ace with unabated force.
"Are you entangled in armed colors..."
Ace looked at the flying shadow pillar with solemn eyes. With the help of the sight, he could barely see the jet-black armed color that merged with the shadow pillar.
Ace, who didn't dare to be too big, did not rashly transform into elements, but moved left and right with vigorous movements to avoid the shadow pillars stabbing from all directions.
Bang bang bang...!
The shadow pillar crossed Ace's body and plunged into the ground, causing violent explosions.
While Ace cautiously dodged the shadow pillars that kept attacking, he rushed towards Mod and Bista, who were fighting swords.
Since Mod used part of his shadow to attack Ace, the blessing effect of the shadow demon form was directly reduced to 50%.
The weakening of strength and speed has relieved Bista's defensive pressure to a certain extent.
But even so, Bista was still suppressed by Mod.
Even if the shadow demon form blessing is only half the power, it can improve Mod's comprehensive melee ability to a level that Bista cannot match anyway.
This is the fundamental gap in combat effectiveness.
In fact, from the moment of the fight, Bista had a deep understanding of Mod's terrifying and monster-like suppressive power.
No matter it's strength, speed, or even skills, nothing can be compared to him.
Such a gap cannot be bridged by experience alone.
In other words, at the moment of the fight—
Bista had already seen the results of his disastrous defeat.
"How long has passed since the battle of Malinfando, but this man..."
Bista kept a straight face and gritted his teeth to bear the stormy attack from Mod.
"What a... complete monster..."
The gradually declining defense was finally filled with fatal cracks.
Under such circumstances, any moves or techniques derived from the Hua Jian style can no longer save the situation.
Clang!
The tipping point has been reached.
"Foil sword..."
While Maude whispered to herself, she picked up Bista's sword blade.
Then Bista's flaw was revealed, and the defense that had been struggling to support fell apart.
Maud showed no mercy, and struck directly at Huanglong with another long knife, slashing Bista's chest.
Poof!
The sword flashed and blood spurted out.
Bista groaned, and his face suddenly turned pale.
not far away.
Seeing Bista being slashed by Mod, Ace's expression changed dramatically.
“Bista…!!!”
Either because of blood, or because of willpower—
No matter what the factors were, at this moment, the surging emotions expanded crazily in Ace's body like an accelerant, causing him to suddenly burst out with stronger and stronger power.
The flames sprouted out of thin air and surged around like a monstrous wave, full of momentum that wanted to burn everything.
The shadow pillar that was attacking Ace was swallowed up by the wave of flames in the blink of an eye.
Ace's sudden outburst couldn't help but attract the attention of everyone present.
All the marines, including Fujitora at the entrance to Dressrosa, looked at the Fire Fist Ace with astonishment as he released the monstrous flames.
"Are you awake..."
Fujitora couldn't see, but he could see clearly better than anyone present.
The surging flame wave controlled by the Fire Fist in front of him was clearly not released from the Fire Fist's body, but was a flame ignited out of thin air by treating the ubiquitous air around him as fuel.
Under the gazes of one after another, Ace stood in the raging flames, his body illuminated by the firelight, like a phoenix reborn from the ashes.
When the shackles are lifted...
Along with the flames, there was also the confidence and fighting spirit to defeat Mod.
"Bacardi Mod!!! I will definitely defeat you!!!"
There was a flickering fire in Ace's eyes.
"Oh, got it."
As soon as Ace finished speaking, Mod's plain voice without any emotion sounded in his ears.
The shadow pillar is not afraid of flames. It is hidden in the monstrous flames. Instead, it will become a more secretive transfer pedal.
"!?"
Hearing Maud's voice, the flickering fire in Ace's eyes suddenly stopped.
when…
As soon as Ace's doubts arose, Maud, who had already sheathed his long sword, restrained his body with hands covered in armed colors and shadows. Immediately, Maud kneed him hard in the stomach.
Bang!
Unimaginable power penetrated Ace's body through this knee strike.
"Pooh!"
Ace opened his mouth and spit out a large amount of blood, as if he was bleeding internally.
The fire that was fixed in his eyes was simply extinguished after this blow.
The flames that were everywhere around them started to subside.
The whole place was silent.
The marines who thought that the awakened Ace was going to show off his might were now staring with exaggerated eyes, dumbfounded as they looked at Ace who was sluggish in the blink of an eye.
Wait, this development seems wrong...
Shouldn't it be Ace who suddenly awakened with his willpower and beat up Maud first after rising up
Why did it fall faster than before!
Chapter 216 The overall situation has been decided
Ace, who was always in a state of tension when facing Mod, was driven by his willpower and awakened his abilities at the most critical moment.
This was beyond Maud's expectation.
Once the natural ability is awakened, the already powerful destructive power will become even more terrifying.
The most obvious point is that it can easily change the environment.
For example, after Ace's Burning Fruit ability is awakened, he no longer has to rely on his body to release flames. The benefit is that the release speed, power, range and other aspects will be intuitively improved.
In this way, it is easy to turn the ground under your feet into scorched earth.
But after awakening, what is greatly improved is the power of the elements, not the body's defense.
Shadow pillars that are not afraid of high temperatures—
In other words, in the face of conventional attacks, the shadow pillars that can proliferate infinitely to maintain their original shape shuttle freely under the cover of fire, like crocodiles under the water, quietly coming to Ace's side and opening silently. Bloody mouth.
Then, Maud teleported over.
There are no special skills. Before Ace can react, he relies on his physical strength and armament that are stronger than Ace's to defeat Ace's body and aura with an ordinary knee strike.
The power that Barbarian penetrated into his body caused Ace to suffer severe injuries. After vomiting blood profusely, his consciousness was on the line between blur and clarity.
The raging fire around him, and even the clusters of flames on Ace's body, all disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"If Ichigo expands the scale of the flame, it will only be used to clear out the miscellaneous soldiers at best."
Maud looked at Ace whose eyes had lost focus with an expressionless face. She suddenly let go of her hands that were holding Ace's shoulders, and let Ace's body fall to the ground softly.
rustle-
The shadow on Maud slowly faded, gathering into a ball and falling on the ground, like a piece of dark clay.
Then, the clay-like shadow extended into shadow pillars wrapped in armed colors, sealing Ace's body, which was about to lose consciousness.
After completing this move, Maud looked at the battle situation on the side of Qing Pheasant.
It seems that because Bista and Ace were seriously injured by Moder one after another, Marco showed many flaws in his fight with Aokiji.
Qing Pheasant seizes the flaw and attacks.
However, the fault tolerance rate of Phoenix's ability is too high, and Aoki Pheasant's flaw attack did not produce any substantial effect.
Fierce fighting continues.
But anyone with a discerning eye could already see that Marco was completely at a disadvantage.
Without paying too much attention to the battle between Marco and Aokiji, Mod turned his eyes and looked at the battle situation elsewhere.
On Blackbeard's side, in addition to Yuzhiliu and Crescent Moon Hunter Die Mei, Poison Q and Fan Oka, who are under siege, seem to be in danger and are in danger.
"Is that guy out of bullets?"
Mod's eyes fell on Van Oka who was surrounded by Hawkins and Urki.
I saw that Fan Oka, as a sniper, actually took a sniper rifle and swung it directly!
If the armament wasn't strong enough, with the structure of the sniper rifle, it would have disintegrated after just a few hits from Ulki's pencil pillar.
"I'm really out of bullets..."
Maude watched for a moment and saw that Van Oka had several opportunities to shoot but did not pull the trigger, thus confirming that Van Oka was really out of bullets.
A sniper emptied his bullets while the enemy was still safe...
This is too difficult.
Seeing that Van Oka could only use the sniper as a stick to resist the combined attacks of Hawkins and Ulki, Maude felt sad.
Fortunately, he has Bailey's weapon fruit ability, so he doesn't have to worry about the amount of ammunition.
Even without Bailey, there is still a shadow box to store enough bullets.
Even worse, you can also create shadow bullets from the shadows of dead objects.
Anyway, as long as he is still breathing, he will not be able to shoot out all the bullets.
However, there is no other sniper in the world who can do this except him.
"Looking at how painful the beating is... let me help you out."
Maude raised the long-barreled flintlock gun transformed by Bailey, her pupils lit up with red light, and she looked at the dangerous Van Oka.
Judging from the situation of the battle, Van Oka, whose rhythm has been disrupted, will soon be blasted by Urki's pencil pillar. Of course, he may also be nailed into a hedgehog by Hawkins' nails.
Maude felt that if a sniper was beaten like this and couldn't escape, he might as well just die.
After raising his gun and taking aim, Maud did not fire immediately, but patiently waited for the opportunity.
Ten seconds passed.
Maude found the right moment and pulled the trigger decisively.
boom!
The lead bullet wrapped in armed colors passed through the barrel of the gun and flew out from the muzzle.
Fan Oka, who was struggling to resist the attack, suddenly realized something.
Even so, he had no energy left to deal with it.
"Is this the end of it..."
Fan Oka was shocked, and was immediately shot through the heart by the armed lead bullet fired by Maud.
