Chapter 2 Longer Memory

Swipe the knife at the man in front of you...

can't do it...

Dusqi's eyes trembled, her body seemed to be bound by an invisible shadow, and she couldn't move no matter how hard she tried.

bang-

The saber finally fell out of hand.

Dusky's strength seemed to be drained in an instant.

Her knees softened and she fell to her knees, staring at the saber lying quietly on the ground in despair.

Zoro and others who came to the scene for the first time, and Luffy who had just loosened their restraints, all looked at Dasqi, who had lost the will to fight, with strange eyes.

Did Maud do something just now?

If it wasn't for what Maud did, how could this strong female navy simply give up resistance?

Everyone's eyes turned to look at Maud who looked calm.

How can this group of rookie pirates who do not really stand on the opposite side of Maud, how can they understand the pressure that Dasqi needs to endure when facing Maud at close range.

that vibe,

Not only is it released through the strength gap.

What's more, it is an aura "forged" by countless blood, which reaches the heart like a sharp knife, which can make people's blood lose temperature in an instant.

This is the natural reaction when faced with monsters.

Seeing that Dusqi gave up resisting obediently, Maud withdrew his gaze, no longer looked at Dusqi, but walked towards the position where Smog fell to the ground.

"call--!"

When Maud only took a few steps, he saw a stream of white smoke pouring out of the house with broken walls, slowly condensing the shape of Smog.

The kick just now did not make Smog completely lose his combat effectiveness, but broke one of his arms.

Seeing Smoker stand up again, the Straw Hats were immediately ready.

This guy who can make the whole body smoky is simply the most difficult opponent they have gone to sea so far.

If you can't fight at all, all you can do is run away.

But such a tough opponent can only be beaten in front of Maud.

"Is this the effect of the domineering of the armed color..."

The Straw Hats looked at Smog's arms that were lying softly by their sides, and were amazed.

They only know the existence of armed domineering, but they don't know how to use it.

Now I can't help but be amazed to see that Maud ignores the smoke effect and directly kicks off an arm of Smoker.

For them, this scene is more intuitive than the battle between Maud and Pika.

Smog ignored the Straw Hats, stared at Maud, and said solemnly: "Bacardi Maud, don't forget your current 'identity'."

"Tsk..."

Maud frowned slightly and said coldly: "This kind of thing, you don't need to remind me."

Before he finished speaking, the figure in the walking state suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

In the next instant, Maud was already in front of Smoker.

When Smoker hasn't reacted yet,

Maud protruded his right hand between the electric light and flint, and pinched Smog's neck neatly.

"Um!?"

Smog was startled and suffocated.

"Can't be elementalized..."

Smoker was agitated, trying his best to break free from Maud's grip.

However,

All the strength is like hitting a heavy mountain, and it can't even shake it.

Maud squeezed Smoker's neck tightly and lifted him just like that.

The strong restraint quickly increased Smoker's suffocation.

Oxygen is gradually being consumed, like the shadow of death, clinging to Smoker's heart and lungs.

The surrounding Straw Hats all looked at the scene in shock.

In just one face-to-face, the powerful Smog was pushed to the brink of death by Maud.

Maud stared blankly at Smoker, who was struggling to breathe.

"So, what you should do is not to remind me of my current 'identity', but to thank me for my current 'identity', which saved you."

"..."

The oxygen in his lungs was squeezed out, Smog blushed in discomfort, unable to speak, and could only stare at Maud.

He understood what Maud said.

The identity of Qiwuhai makes him ineligible to take action against Maud, but at the same time he can let Maud let him go.

only,

The clear gap in strength made him feel unwilling.

If the strength is stronger than Maud...

Then, as long as the Straw Hats have no affiliation with Maud, he will arrest the Straw Hats in front of Maud, and Maud can only watch.

The point is not about identity and position.

Rather, he is far weaker than Maud's strength...

Suffocation and unwillingness made Small blue veins appear on his blushing forehead.

Looking rather embarrassed.

"Let go of Colonel Smoke!!!"

I don't know when, Dusqi held the saber again, although she still looked flustered, but her tone was unexpectedly firm.

The root cause of this change is that Smoker is dying.

Therefore, although Dusqi's fighting spirit was overwhelmed by Maude's momentum, he still tried his best to maintain the last shred of dignity as a swordsman.

Even if you die, you have to die with a saber.

Maud tilted his head to look at Dasqi, who had barely escaped the shadow, and touched the Fifty Workers Quick Knife Chidori with his other idle hand.

"Courage is commendable, but since you've made up your mind, let's talk with a 'knife', but... if it's your words, it's not enough for me to use Qiushui."

"do not underestimate me!!!"

Dasqi shouted angrily, held the knife in front of him, and rushed to Morde at a high speed like a rhinoceros.

Immediately, a slash slashed into a beautiful arc-shaped blade, pointing straight at Maud's throat.

Chong——!

Maud pulled out Chidori, and the armed color covered the blade.

"too slow."

Maud slashed out with a knife, easily piercing the arc-shaped sword light coming on.

In the air, the crisp sound of the blade breaking suddenly sounded.

But it was the saber in Dasqi's hand that snapped, and the half of the blade tumbled sharply into the sky.

"My... Shiyu..."

Dusqi maintained the posture of making a move, staring blankly at the quick knife Shiyu with only half of the blade left.

Maud ignored Dusky's reaction, flung his arm vigorously, and simply threw Smog at Dusky.

Smog's body flew out like a cannonball, and slammed into the half-knife that Dasqi held forward, blood splattered suddenly!

Immediately afterwards, the impact force that had not been completely removed caused Smoke and Dasqi to smash through the wall of the restaurant together, fly into it, and set off a lot of smoke.

Maud looked at the big hole in the wall of the restaurant that was smashed by Smog and Dasqi, and said lightly: "I hope this encounter will give you a little memory."

Not far behind Maud, is a group of straw hats who are silent.

Luffy clenched his fists quietly.

He, who has always done things recklessly, finally began to think about one thing.

That is, will Crocodile, who is the same as Maud, is an enemy that can be defeated?

corner of the street.

Ace, who was carrying a satchel, slowly retracted his gaze.

Even if Maud didn't make a move, he who heard the movement and rushed to the scene as soon as possible would come forward to stop Smog.

"Blackbeard is not here..."

Ace raised his hand to press the brim of his hat, and his mind was already flying to the next island on this route.

........

Meanwhile, the casino rains a feast.

In a dimly lit room, Robin, who had just received the report from the billionaire elder, did not go to Crocodile immediately.
