"This sense of oppression..."
Barrett stared intently at Maude, who was walking step by step, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.
"Sure enough, you are better than Roger!"
Feeling the pressure from Mod, Barrett was able to conclude that Mod was now obviously more powerful than Roger.
Even so, Barrett will not be shy in terms of momentum.
"I will defeat you!"
The red light in Barrett's eyes converged into pinpoints.
Devil form!
The ghost energy mixed with domineering energy was released from his body and spread quickly in a cross path on his forehead.
In the blink of an eye, his face and body were rendered dark blue by ghost energy, and his whole person looked like a devil from hell.
By covering his whole body with ghost energy, Barrett's strength and speed can be significantly enhanced.
Uh-huh!
Barrett moved so fast that his body disappeared into thin air in an instant.
Before Mod could make his next move, Barrett took the initiative to attack.
With a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, Barrett dodged and came to Mod's side.
It's just that no matter how fast he is, it can't be faster than the top level of knowledge.
The moment Barrett revealed his figure, Moder raised his hand and struck with a strike.
The power of shock glowing with white light appeared from the blade, and cracks spread towards Barrett at an extremely fast speed.
But Barrett was prepared.
This sudden thrust was just a feint on his part.
At the moment when the shock force was about to affect him, his feet that had not yet completely reached the ground stepped on them at a low altitude, using the moon step technique.
With the help of the Moon Step, Barrett completed the turn at the critical moment, bypassing the oncoming shock force, and came to Mod's left side.
"The strongest punch!"
After creating an opportunity to attack, Barrett focused all his strength and dominance on this punch.
As a physical expert, there is no need for any fancy moves in battle.
What is needed is a technique that can mobilize all the strength of the whole body as quickly as possible, and then inflict the greatest blow to the enemy in a short period of time.
This is Barrett's fighting style, and this single move will determine his chances of victory step by step.
A punch packed with Barrett's whole body's strength was aimed directly at Mod's shoulder.
As long as he can hit, Barrett is confident that he can directly destroy Mod's shoulder.
But Moder will not let Barrett get his wish.
Unable to put away the knife, he kicked off his feet and moved a little to one side, thus creating time for him to raise his elbows to resist Barrett's attack.
Bang!
Barrett's strongest punch could only land on Mod's left elbow, which he had timely raised to defend himself.
The powerful impact that followed caused a circle of jellyfish-shaped white air waves that spread rapidly outward where the fists and elbows met.
However-
Maude, who blocked the punch, remained as motionless as a mountain, apparently unaffected.
Barrett quickly accepted this fact, raised his right leg sharply, and pushed his knee into the sky against Maude's ribs.
If we say, Mod's weapon is a knife.
Barrett's weapons, then, are the aggressive parts of his body.
Just as Barrett was kneeling upward—
Maud flipped her right wrist, using the "sheathing the sword" posture, and drove the tip of the autumn water knife to stab Barrett's knee.
On the tip of the knife, an egg-sized ball of light containing the power of shock was quietly brewing.
Seeing that Mod was so handy with his shock ability, Barrett's heart froze, but he decisively gave up the attack at the last moment and stepped back to distance himself.
As Barrett retreated, Maud's thrust failed as if sheathing his sword.
The small ball of light condensed on the tip of the knife was not released due to stabbing into the air. Instead, it was steadily taken back by Mod.
It can be retracted and retracted freely, clearly showing Mod's precision and control over the earthquake ability.
On top of the high wall of ice.
Rather than dealing with the Charlotte family, Aokiji is more interested in this top-notch battle below.
So he handed over the task of solving the Charlotte family to the rest of the team, saying it was a good job without taking the credit, and instead watched the collision between Maude and Barrett without any psychological burden.
once.
He watches the battle between Thor and Garp in Mad Hatter Town.
Now.
Here he watches the battle between Maude and Barret.
There is an indescribable and subtle feeling.
but…
Qing Pheasant turned his gaze and looked at Maud, his eyes filled with unabashed wonder.
"It has only been less than twenty days since I ate the Zhenzhen Fruit, but my mastery of abilities has already reached a level comparable to that of Whitebeard."
Watching the battle from the sidelines, I saw with my own eyes Mod's mastery of the earthquake ability, and the result amazed Aokiji.
In this terrible era, there is no shortage of genius monsters.
Having seen green pheasants a lot, you are no longer surprised.
But Qing Pheasant couldn't think of any words to describe Mod's talent, other than wonder or amazement.
He was suddenly curious...
Maud, who had just eaten the Shock Fruit that day, faced Cavendish and the others alone.
It's a pity that he was sleeping in that day, so he couldn't see the battle.
Now that I think about it...
Aoki seemed to understand somewhat of Cavendish's post-war reaction that lasted until the dinner.
"Captain, with this amazing talent, you may be destined to change the world from the moment you are born..."
The blue pheasant sitting on the high ice wall stared at Maude with a slightly complicated look.
If-
After the War on the Top, Aoki will regret not being able to nip Maud in the cradle in Mad Hatter Town.
So.
Now he would be sincerely grateful that he had not strangled Maud in the cradle in Mad Hatter Town.
"I will watch your figure until the moment the world is changed."
Qing Pheasant calmed down.
Something that had been frozen by him finally began to let out a trace of warmth.
Within the battle circle.
Barrett pulled back and stared at Mod with solemn eyes, while quickly assuming an offensive stance.
When Charlotte Lingling faced off against Mod, she had a real feeling like facing Whitebeard in his prime.
This is because the shock ability shown by Mod is already comparable to Whitebeard at his peak in terms of control.
However.
Charlotte Lingling was also sure that Maud had eaten the Shock Fruit recently, so she was so shocked.
Qing Pheasant's exclamation, Charlotte Lingling's shock.
Just like Barrett is feeling right now.
"If I hadn't interrupted the attack in time, my knee would have been broken..."
Barrett took a deep breath.
He deeply realized that if he wanted to successfully climb Maude, the highest mountain in the world, he could not make any mistakes.
Once you make a mistake, you have no chance of winning.
This kind of tightrope-like battle is the embodiment of the sense of oppression that Moder brings to Barrett.
Barrett, who realized this, still had a strong fighting spirit and was not affected.
A challenge that does not allow any mistakes to occur can demonstrate the gold content of the title of the world's strongest.
Uh-huh!
Barrett attacks Maude again.
Even though he had a deep understanding of Mod's terrifying strength, he never thought of adopting a defensive counterattack.
This is his courage.
It's just that Mod's attack was faster this time.
"Shadowland."
Maud stared ahead.
The awakened shadow ability instantly transformed everything around him into a pitch-black wave with teeth and claws, and surrounded Maude like a furious wave.
Barrett stopped suddenly, his figure revealed.
"shadow… "
He looked at the huge shadow waves surrounding Mod with some surprise, as if he only remembered that Mod had the ability to awaken the Shadow Fruit at this moment.
Maud slowly picked up Qiu Shui and put the back of the knife on her shoulder.
This is the starting point for a hegemony.
"Shadow Realm, expand."
After making the gesture of overlord, Maud muttered to himself.
The words just fell.
A large number of shadow waves under his control suddenly surged towards Barrett from the left and right sides, looking like a pair of arms closing, trapping Barrett inside.
As the two shadow tides gathered together, Maude and Barrett were both in a black circle surrounded by the shadow tides.
Because the height of the surrounding shadow tide reached tens of meters, the camera bugs placed in various hidden corners could only capture the towering pitch black shadow tide.
Within the shadow tide area, Barrett calmly glanced at the towering shadow tide around him.
"The ability after awakening can affect surrounding things in a wide range, but the larger the range, the weaker the power. The same is true for domineering."
Barrett withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Mod, and said coldly: "You don't expect to hurt me with this move that blindly expands the range and dilutes the power, do you?"
"You talk too much nonsense."
Maud's face was expressionless, and the autumn water on her shoulders sparked bursts of black and red arcs of electricity.
"Shadow Realm, Black Coffin."
Without waiting for Barrett to speak, Mod gave instructions to Shadow Tide.
Under his control, the towering shadow tide around him suddenly shrank inward at an extremely fast speed.
"Um?!"
Barrett was suddenly startled, and almost without thinking, he charged towards Maud.
Bang!
