But letting Qing Pheasant and the others stay here is simply a waste of combat power.
"Everyone, I just said that I would give him a chance to deal with me. If I say it, I can't take it back."
Maude looked around at her companions.
Upon hearing Mod's words, Aokiji didn't have much reaction, while Lafayette and the others looked disappointed.
It's rare to find an opponent worthy of challenging with all your strength...
But their own captain said so, so even if they were unwilling, they had no choice but to give up.
Jhin looked at Mod and the others who were discussing who should deal with him. While his expressions were ugly, his heart sank to the bottom.
Not to mention anything else—
Maude and Aokiji standing side by side were enough to prevent him from seeing any chance!
Chapter 370: Jhin of Despair
Maud and the Blue Pheasant stood side by side.
Faced with such a combination, deep in Jhin's heart, a sense of despair rose up that he had not seen for a long time.
only.
Although he doesn't see any opportunities, it doesn't mean that he will sit still and wait for death.
Since Brother Kaido entrusted him with the task of guarding the house.
Then, even if he dies, he will persist until the last moment.
A red light representing the color of seeing suddenly appeared in Jin's eyes.
In this situation, there is no possibility of negotiation.
In the end, the only choice left to both parties was to fight to the death.
This is the relationship between enemies and enemies.
then-
Jhin, who had never said a word to Maude from beginning to end, suddenly took action.
There is no timidity at all, nor is he afraid of Mod's strength and reputation.
Jhin took a step forward, the dark wings on his back suddenly folded, and his tall and straight body shot straight at Maud like a sharp blade unsheathed.
The katana sword with an unusual length that he held tightly in his hand was also ignited with flames like his shoulders.
A burst of firelight suddenly appeared in the corridor, which was not too narrow.
"Yan Jing, Hook Claw!"
Jhin, who instantly appeared in front of Mod, activated his armament and strength to the extreme, swung the samurai sword wrapped in flames, and slashed towards Mod's vitals from top to bottom.
Maud stared at the flame knife that was slashing straight at him, a sharp and dangerous hook-like slash reflected in his eyes.
The attack was approaching, aimed at Maud's vitals.
But Maud remained unmoved and just watched calmly as the flaming sword struck.
Then-
A pair of big black hands sprang out from behind Maud, using both palms together to hold the slashed flame knife.
The flaming knife, filled with murderous intent, stopped steadily in front of Maude.
"Um!?"
Seeing Yan Jin's hook and claw blocked like this, Jin's pupils shrank and he subconsciously drew the knife.
However-
No matter how hard Jhin tried, he couldn't pull back the flame knife trapped in the big black hand.
It was as if the flame knife had become one with the big black hand.
The huge palm formed by the shadow tightly held the flaming samurai sword. Moder raised his eyes and looked at Jhin in the form of the pterodactyl human-animal, and said calmly:
"The ancient form of a pterosaur and the ability to use fire... It's quite interesting."
“…”
Jhin said nothing, his body tensed, and while trying to withdraw the long knife, he was ready to attack or defend at any time.
His defensive move was seen by Maude.
"Your weapons are inferior to mine, and your flames cannot burn through my shadow."
Mode's right palm, which was casually resting on the handle of the knife, slowly opened, and then he slowly and powerfully grasped the handle of the knife.
"But you have to pretend to be obsessed with this knife. It's really poor acting..."
Before he finished speaking, Jhin's eyes narrowed slightly, and the claws in his animal form were wrapped with solid armament, and they were drawn towards Maude's chest like lightning.
Clang!
This kick actually hit the Qiushui knife that Maud had pulled out.
The violent impact passed through the blade and was directly transmitted to Mod's body.
However, Maud's body remained motionless and was not shaken in the slightest.
"My strength and dominance are not as good as his..."
In an instant, Jhin's face turned slightly ugly.
The two moves, light and dark, fell on Maude, like a stone sinking into the sea, without any movement at all.
There is a sense of deja vu that even the underwear has been seen through.
Outside the cell.
Yamato looked at Jhin in surprise as Mod restrained his attack, and he seemed to have seen himself just now in a trance.
In the same way, he attacked the enemy with all his strength, but his move was easily blocked by the enemy.
"So strong!"
Yamato muttered.
Although the confrontation between these two moves was not intense, the mere fact that Mod was able to take Jhin's two attacks as steady as a mountain gave Yamato a profound insight into Mod's powerful strength.
Compared to Yamato's surprise, Lafayette and the others looked calm.
In their view, this is the most normal phenomenon.
"Let's find a more spacious place."
Mod didn't want to end the battle in this place, but he suddenly released his overlord color.
A black-red electric arc as thick as the index finger flickered along the Qiushui blade.
Then it exploded like gunpowder, forming an impact invisible to the naked eye, which bombarded Jhin's body from the air. At the same time, he controlled the shadow tentacles to release Jhin's samurai sword.
There was a muffled sound.
Jhin's body trembled, and he stumbled back a long distance due to the impact.
Then when he looked up at Maude, he saw that Maude had turned her back to him and walked out of the prison.
"That was just now..."
Jhin looked at Mod's back, his eyes trembling.
The last thing he didn't say was: The same domineering power as Kaido!
Lafayette, Qingzhi, Shiliu, and Luo did not leave the prison with Maud.
Instead, they stood silently on the left and right sides of the prison entrance, looking calmly at Jhin who was knocked back by Mod's overlord color.
It was a solid attack, but it did no damage to Jhin.
Lafayette and the others naturally knew Maud's intentions.
It would be boring if the battle ended too quickly.
but.
With Jhin's strength, he must be able to satisfy Mod.
“…”
Jhin remained silent and turned his gaze, landing on Lafayette and the others who looked like four door gods.
he knows-
Maud just held back.
Otherwise, given the situation just now, Mod could completely catch him off guard.
But Maud didn't do that.
Thinking of what Maud just said, Jhin realized...
That man planned to have an honest duel with him while taking advantage of him.
"If it's one-on-one... do I have a chance?"
Realizing Mod's intentions, Jin looked at the prison entrance silently, thinking silently in his heart.
Regardless of whether there is any chance of defeating Maud.
In this case, it is better to get a chance to fight with Mod than to be beaten to death by Mod and Aoki.
Maybe there is a chance...!
In other words, this is his only chance.
“…”
Silently, Jhin's body gradually transformed into a human form, and then he suppressed the vibration in his heart and forced himself to calm down.
After a few seconds.
Jhin took a deep breath, and under the calm gazes of Lafayette and others, he stepped forward and left the prison to the outside.
On the flat ground a hundred meters away.
Maud stood there, her posture upright, and the autumn water she originally held in her hand was returned to the scabbard.
Jhin looked at Mod with complicated eyes. He stopped outside the prison gate for a few seconds, then took steps towards Mod, step by step.
As he walked, he glanced around from the corner of his eye.
The Mord Pirates attacked as a group and instantly turned the entire Ghost Island into a battlefield.
Jhin noticed that the mighty Mord Pirates actually only had about fifty people.
Looking back at our own personnel—
Leaving aside the barbarians who stayed on the island, as well as the three volleying six men, Peggy Wan, Saegi, and Foz.
Even the number of those who give, those who enjoy, and those who wait is as large as 20,000.
50vs20000!
What a disparity in numbers.
but-
Jin subconsciously slowed down, his eyes full of solemnity, and kept glancing at the dozen or so battle circles that were divided around him.
From this position, he could even clearly hear the continuous sounds of movement coming from Onigashima Castle.
Even when the emperor was in prison, he had already reported to him the worrying situation of the war.
However, when he got a chance to fight in a duel, in this situation, he still used his knowledge to confirm the battle situation in person.
And the information fed back by the sight, hearing, and color was just as Bao Huang reported—the situation was worrying.
The number of people on our side is obviously about 400 times that of the opponent.
But under the opponent's offensive, our own camp, which had the numerical advantage, was the suppressed side.
Jhin's heart felt heavy.
In just a few seconds of observation, he "saw" the reason why his side was at a disadvantage.
