Perhaps it was because he chose to watch on the sidelines at the beginning of the battle, which gave the opponent the illusion that he had exhausted his physical strength or domineering power.
after all.
No matter how well-informed they were, they would never have thought that Maud had such a thing as a hunter's notebook.
"What you should be curious about...is whether you can survive three moves in my hand."
A pair of black wings stretched out from Maud's back, her body stood in the air, her smile grew colder.
"Three moves?"
Marco sighed softly: "I have been completely underestimated by you, Baijia D. Mode."
Maude said no more, but rushed towards Marco like lightning.
His figure flew past high in the sky, like a fleeting black lightning.
Marco locked Maude with his sight color.
It was clear that he was not close yet, but the indescribable sense of oppression came first.
For a moment, Marco felt like he was suddenly in the depths of the sea.
The pressure was everywhere, making every move he made very heavy and laborious.
"The momentum alone is not something ordinary people can bear."
Marco sincerely lamented the power of Mod, but as the second-in-command who followed Whitebeard all the way, he had no intention of backing down.
Immediately.
Qing Yan is doing great work.
Marco summoned all his strength and advanced to face Maud without retreating.
This courage alone is worthy of the name.
However, in a life-and-death fight, strength is ultimately the main factor.
Maud slashed at Marco with his sword.
On the Qiu Shui blade, white light and black shadows intertwined, and black and red electric arcs stirred.
Shadow, shock power, overlord color!
A variety of powers blend together and are poured into the knife.
Subsequently.
This extremely fast and domineering sword slashed through Marco's body without any hindrance.
In an instant.
Before Marco could react, the vibrant green flames suddenly dissipated.
With a look of astonishment on his face, he fell from the air with blood.
Maud looked down at Marco who was falling down.
"You are strong, but not enough."
He returned this sentence to Marco for Lafayette.
Chapter 511 Invincible
With one powerful sword, Marco's Qing Yan was easily cut off.
And the concussive force with the color of Overlord slashed into Marco's body with the knife, shattering his organs.
No matter from which angle you look at it, this knife is absolutely fatal.
However.
Even though Marco's internal organs were irreversibly damaged and his body was almost cut in half, his life was not in danger.
Because the innate ability possessed by the phantom beast species' phoenix form is exactly as its name suggests, immortality.
So even if Marco suffered a fatal attack, he would not die on the spot.
Unless his physical strength can no longer be sustained, the rekindled flames of rebirth will continue to repair his body.
Maud looked down at Marco who was falling to the ground. With his top level knowledge, he naturally noticed this.
"The ability to be immortal... But no matter what ability it is, there is an upper limit."
Marco's Phoenix ability reminded Mod of the ability of the phantom beast Yamata no Orochi.
As a phantom beast, the representative ability of the Yamata no Orochi Devil Fruit is to give the eater eight lives.
As long as you eat the Yamata no Orochi Devil Fruit, even if you don't activate the ability form, you can avoid death if your head is chopped off.
This ability and characteristic of Yamata no Orochi is essentially the same as Marco's Phoenix.
only.
The upper limit of Yamata no Orochi is eight lives, while the Phoenix can achieve unlimited rebirth as long as it still has physical strength.
While thinking, Maude compared the Yamata no Orochi with the Phoenix.
In terms of abilities and characteristics, Phoenix is obviously stronger than Yamata no Orochi.
It's a pity that he has already let Luo eat the Yamata no Orochi Devil Fruit.
Otherwise, the Phoenix Devil Fruit might be a better choice.
Now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in thinking about it anymore.
Maude's eyes and expressions followed Marco's.
In order to get the Phoenix Devil Fruit, his next attack must be somewhat controlled in intensity.
It would be troublesome if he accidentally broke Marco's upper limit and killed Marco directly.
Mid-air.
Marco's body fell to the ground as weakly as a rag bag.
A large amount of blood shot out from the ferocious wound and fell to the ground together with his body.
"Damn..."
Marco frowned, consuming his energy and turning it into regenerative inflammation.
The blue flame emerged again, struggling to repair the severely damaged body.
Different from the past, the recovery speed this time is very slow, unprecedentedly slow.
So that before the body was completely repaired, Marco could only keep filling it with strength.
"It's scarier than expected."
Realizing that repairing the body required several times more energy than usual, Marco frowned even more.
This was the first time he encountered such a situation, and he had a deeper understanding of Mod's terrifying strength.
"If I get hit again, my physical strength should be..."
Marco felt deeply troubled, and while his heart was solemn, he was also somewhat glad that Maude did not pursue him.
Sometimes, being underestimated by your opponents isn't entirely a bad thing.
On the battlefield.
The people on the Whitebeard Pirates side noticed Marco falling from the sky.
They took a closer look and saw that Marco was covered in blood, with a blood-red gash running from his shoulder to his abdominal cavity, which was extremely tragic.
"Captain Marco...!!!"
After seeing Marco's injury clearly, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and the shock in their eyes could not be concealed no matter what.
From the time Mod came back to the time Captain Marco fell seriously injured, there was at most only one face-to-face time, right
That is to say—
Even Captain Marco, the most powerful captain, couldn't hold on even one move in front of Mod
Then wouldn't they be even more powerless against Mod
The pirates were shocked, but their morale was somewhat affected.
Anyone who wants to deal with a monster like Maud will not be in a good mood.
Everyone in the Morde pirate group, who were fighting bloody battles, also noticed Morde's move.
One encounter severely damaged one of the enemy's strongest combat forces.
Maud's presence gave them some peace of mind.
Although the enemy was superior in numbers, they were certain of one thing: numbers were meaningless in front of Mord.
“Marco…”
Ace used a fire fist to evaporate the cold current shot by the blue pheasant. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Marco, whose body was almost cut in half, and his heart couldn't help but throb.
He was well aware of Mod's strength.
It is basically difficult for anyone to protect themselves in front of that monster, let alone defeat that monster.
Marco is very strong and has a high fault tolerance rate brought by his Phoenix ability.
In theory, Marco can challenge opponents stronger than himself and even win with a slight advantage.
But this time the opponent is Mod.
No matter how optimistic Ace was, he didn't think Marco alone could stop Mod.
And Marco's current miserable situation has verified his view.
"Ah la la, do you still have time to 'care' for others at this time... Fire Fist Ace."
Aoki's eyelids were lowered, and while Ace was distracted, he unceremoniously released a cold wave at Ace.
Ace was unable to dodge, and was engulfed by the cold current in an instant, turning into an ice sculpture exuding cold smoke.
After freezing Ace, Aoki quickly condensed several ice thorn spears.
Subsequently.
Qing Pheasant raised his hand and waved, and the ice thorn spear hanging in mid-air suddenly shot towards the ice sculpture.
If it hits successfully, it should be able to severely damage Ace.
But just when the ice thorn spear was about to smash the ice sculpture, a hot fire suddenly burst out from the ice sculpture.
Tsk!
The solid ice was instantly melted by the high-temperature flames, forming a burst of hot water vapor.
As the ice thorn spear approached, it was melted by the blazing flames in an instant, turning into a large amount of water vapor that filled the surrounding area.
The attack was defused by the flames, but Aokiji did not stop, and released another cold current that could freeze even the air, freezing the vast amount of water vapor into ice cubes.
Before that, Ace retreated in time without being sucked into the terrifying cold current.
"Hoo, hoo..."
Ace panted slightly.
On the other hand, the blue pheasant breathes steadily and long.
From this point, we can see the difference in strength between the two.
Even if Ace has awakened his ability, it has only shortened the gap, not smoothed it out.
It can be said-
The reason why Ace is able to fight Aokiji so well now is purely due to high-intensity consumption.
The problem is that his exchange can only lead to a stalemate with Qing Pheasant and cannot create better results.
As the confrontation lasts longer and longer, he will become more and more passive, and will eventually be defeated by Aoki Pheasant.
Ace vaguely understood the direction of this battle, but he would not give in easily.
As long as there is a chance, he doesn't want to miss it.
"Great Flame Ring!"
