This is an offensive stance that looks quite impressive.
Maude didn't say anything more. With a clang, she slowly pulled out the autumn water and dropped it casually to her side.
Bang!
Luffy's body flew into the air, his feet stepped quickly in the air, making bursts of air explosion sounds, but he used techniques such as moon walking.
After flying into the air, Luffy's fists and even his thick arms were like springs, squeezing inward, looking more like a turtle head that was tightly retracted into its carapace.
Through this form of squeezing, the fists and arms covered in armed colors are crazily accumulating strength.
Fourth gear. Rhino horn cannon!
Boom!
The two fists that had accumulated their power to the peak suddenly burst out with terrifying speed, piercing the sky and arriving in front of Maude in an instant.
"There's something missing..."
In the flash of lightning, Mod did not exchange positions with the shadow mark set on Luffy's body, nor did he make a move to block with his sword. Instead, he planned to use his body to resist Luffy's fourth-speed attack.
Through the detection ability of the hunter's notebook, what Mod saw in Luffy was a seven-and-a-half-star Devil Fruit ability star.
This shows that Luffy's physique and domineering power are both below seven and a half stars.
Mod had only recently been promoted to four nine-stars, so he wanted to use his body to resist Luffy's full attack next time and see what the result would be.
Bang!
Mod let Luffy's Rhinoceros Horn Cannon hit him in the chest.
Violent power vibrated from the fists covered in jet black armament.
Circles of air waves, with Maud's chest as a dot, surged crazily in all directions.
"Hit, huh!?"
Before Luffy had time to be surprised, he saw that Maud's body was as stable as a rock, and he didn't even take a step back.
It was as if the attack he had just tried so hard had not touched Mod at all.
"It has no effect at all..."
Luffy's eyes widened and he looked in disbelief at Mod, who resisted the rhinoceros cannon but was unscathed.
You know, the Rhino Horn Cannon is the most powerful attack move after he figured out the fourth gear.
On the premise of hitting Mod in the front, he did not think about using this move to directly defeat Mod, but he thought that it would at least cause trouble to Mod.
But the result that happened before him was unacceptable to Luffy.
"The average ability is about seven stars, but you can achieve this kind of power. You should be proud."
Mod, who resisted Luffy's attack without being injured, raised his left hand with a calm expression, held Luffy's wrist, and then pulled it inward.
After being pulled with such force, Luffy, who was in the air, flew directly towards Mod.
Maud flipped the wrist holding the sword and dodged past Luffy, who was flying towards him.
The moment the two passed each other, Mod slashed Luffy's body with his sword.
When Mod appeared on the ground more than ten meters away, Luffy, who passed by Mod, felt like he was hit hard.
In an instant, the sturdy body was like a deflated balloon. Within a few breaths, it shrank back to its original size, and then hit the ground directly.
Bang!
Luffy's body landed heavily, making a loud noise and raising a large amount of smoke and dust.
Through the diffuse smoke and dust, one could see Luffy's mouth open, already unconscious.
not far away.
The battle ended in an instant, leaving Sanji and Zoro stunned.
Was killed in one move
how so
He had obviously gone through months of hard training, but why was he still so powerless in front of that man
"Luffy!"
Sanji and Zoro rushed over to check on Luffy.
The same goes for Saab.
However, Sabo "saw" that Mod was killing Luffy with the back of his sword, so he didn't care about it like Sanji and Zoro did.
but…
Sabo was also a little shocked when he saw Luffy, who had been practicing hard for several months, being killed instantly by Morde.
"After these few months of hard training, Luffy's strength has undoubtedly improved significantly, but Mod has also become stronger, stronger than when he was on the battlefield of Marinefando!"
Sabo suppressed the shock in his heart and came to Luffy's side as quickly as possible.
"Moreover, Morde's improvement in strength is not just a little bit... If Luffy's growth in the past few months is equivalent to taking a hundred steps, then Morde has at least taken a thousand steps."
"The gap is too obvious... So even if Luffy uses all his strength, he can't hurt Mod at all, let alone the chance of winning."
After checking several times, Sabo confirmed that Luffy was fine, and then raised his eyes to look at Mod, who was not far away.
Mod walked slowly, ignoring the piercing looks from Sanji and Zoro, looked at Sabo, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Sabo."
As he spoke, Mod lowered his head slightly and looked at the unconscious Luffy.
"Don't worry, I used the back of the knife in that attack just now, and I also used the back of the knife."
"Ok, I know."
Sabo nodded and apologized: "I'm really sorry, my brother caused you trouble."
Relying on his knowledge, Sabo had a general understanding of the situation before he rushed to the scene, and also knew that this battle was actually initiated by Luffy.
Maude waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just acted as a 'wooden stake' once, it's no big deal."
"Wood stakes..."
Maud's self-deprecating statement made Sabo smile bitterly, and then asked: "By the way, how did you get here? Did you ask for the life card from Sunny and the others?"
"without."
Mod shook his head, then looked at Luffy and said with a smile: "I left a shadow mark on Luffy. Its functionality is similar to that of a life card, so I found him here."
"So that's it."
Sabo was stunned.
This island does not have the conditions to create a record pointer, so if you want to accurately find this island, you can only use a method similar to the life card.
The Shadow Mark that Moder mentioned is actually no different from the Life Card.
"Movie label..."
Sanji and Zoro were secretly surprised. They first glanced at Mod and then looked at Luffy.
It's not good news to be left with a mark without anyone noticing.
Immediately, Sanji and Zoro quietly examined Luffy's body.
After a while, they found a black spot the size of a fingernail on the side of Luffy's shoulder. If you didn't look carefully, you might have thought it was a mole.
"Luffy, the idiot, didn't notice such a big black spot at all?"
Sanji and Zoro were speechless.
At this time, Chopper woke up on his own.
"Ah, what happened to Luffy?"
Seeing Luffy lying on the ground, Chopper overcame his fear of Mod and hurried to Luffy's side to check on Luffy's condition.
"Were you knocked unconscious by the impact? Fortunately, the injuries were not serious."
After checking it carefully, Chopper felt a little relieved.
at the same time.
Nami and the others were attracted by the sound of fighting just now.
"Maud?!!!"
"Master!!!"
"Idol!!!"
After seeing Maude, everyone had different reactions.
Luffy, who seemed to have been knocked unconscious by Mod for a while because of their shouts, suddenly opened his eyes, bounced up from the ground, and subconsciously made a move to punch Mod at any time.
But soon, Luffy realized something. His raised fists slowly dropped a little, and he said blankly: "Did I lose..."
Seeing Luffy's rare disappointed reaction, Zoro and the others beside him didn't know what to say for a moment.
Because Luffy was instantly killed by Mord as soon as they met him, so even if they wanted to comfort Luffy, they didn't know where to start.
Ten minutes later…
"Luffy, when you took a shower, didn't you notice that there was a black spot on your arm!?"
The members of the Straw Hat Pirates who understood the general situation basically stared at Luffy with wide eyes and disbelief.
Facing everyone's questioning, Luffy, who had finally adjusted his mood, lowered his head and said cautiously: "I thought it was a mole that grew out."
"???"
Everyone was immediately confused.
Maud burst into laughter.
"Ah la la, it's quite lively."
Suddenly, a wisp of ice came and gathered at an extremely fast speed into the shape of a blue pheasant.
"Um!?"
"It's Qing Pheasant!!!"
Everyone who was unable to complain about Luffy suddenly changed their expressions, especially Robin, whose face almost lost the color in an instant.
This group of people didn't seem to know the fact that Aokiji had become one of Maude's subordinates.
Chapter 238: The opportunity brought by Mod
Except for Maud.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Aoki, everyone present, including Sabo, was shocked.
Clang!
Zoro drew his sword again.
On the other hand, everyone else prepared to attack immediately.
Bartolomeo reacted faster and opened the barrier without thinking, protecting everyone within the barrier.
This was his subconscious reaction, but he did not consider at all that if Qing Pheasant releases cold air to freeze the barrier, then they inside the barrier will probably die of lack of oxygen, even if they are not frozen to death.
"Ah la la..."
Looking at the Straw Hats who were waiting for them in an instant, Aokiji scratched the back of his head habitually.
Judging from the reaction of the Straw Hats, Aokiji realized that the group of people in front of him probably didn't know that he had joined the Mord Pirates.
Thinking of this, Qingzhi first quickly glanced at the pale Robin, and then looked at Maud beside him.
Let’s leave it to Maud to introduce the current identity.
That seems more convincing.
Feeling the gaze from Aokiji, Maude curled her lips slightly, looked at the overreacting Straw Hats, and chuckled: "Don't be so nervous, Kuzan is no longer an admiral, but a member of my crew."
"What!?"
"Aoji is no longer an admiral!?"
"Hey, compared to this, Aokiji joining the Mord Pirates is a more important event, right?"
