Chapter 91 Who is the pirate and who is the navy?

Natural and Eudemons are the rarest and most powerful fruits.

This is common perception.

But in fact, there are many powerful fruits in the superhuman system that rely on [characteristics] to eat.

Such as ghost fruit, surgical fruit, childlike fruit, dull fruit...

The [Characteristics] they possess can exert a value that is not inferior to that of the natural type and the phantom beast type.

Among these powerful superhuman fruits, shadow fruits are not very conspicuous.

Many people even think that the strength of the shadow fruit is only up to the pass line, and there is nothing outstanding.

But in Maud's view,

The shadow fruit is the fruit with the most [characteristics] in the superhuman series, and it is even more excellent in terms of versatility and functionality.

But it's also because the versatility and functionality are so good that the shadow fruit's presence in terms of aggressiveness seems a little weak.

But,

Among the many characteristics of the shadow fruit, what Maud likes most is the strong control ability of the shadow fruit that is inclined to the auxiliary nature, and——

A unique skill that tends to be more aggressive in nature - Shadow Gathering.

And just after Sabo and Jasmine joined forces to repel Fujitora, Maud used the shadow gathering place to absorb the recovered shadows into his body one by one.

It didn't stop until 500 shadows were absorbed.

This is the limit he can bear.

And the remaining prisoner's shadow, Maud did not keep, and directly harvested it, which was converted into part of his strength, and helped him restore some physical strength and domineering.

"Shadow fruit is really too strong..."

This is the admiration that came out of Maud's heart after he absorbed 500 prisoners' shadows into his body.

He absorbed the prisoner's shadow to explosively increase his strength and speed. As soon as he shot, he used the [Fixing Feature] to control the Straw Hats.

The terrifying speed, even Usopp and Bartolomeo, who had maintained their knowledge in advance, could not react.

"Honestly 'penalty' for a while."

When Maud's voice without the slightest emotion came from behind.

The Straw Hats, who were suffocated by the strong aura, realized that Maud was behind them.

Immediately, a chill that hits their souls suddenly rushed through their bodies.

If Maud wants to kill them...

The imaginary picture that emerged from their heads involuntarily made them wonder whether they should be frightened or rejoiced.

"This is... Maud's true strength..."

"I don't even have the qualifications to fight back, what is this..."

"Hurry up and move, damn it!!!"

Even if I once again deeply realized the terrifying strength of Maud, the resilient Straw Hats did not think about giving up.

Maud can kill them in seconds.

This is a fact.

But Maud won't kill them.

This is also true.

It is also their foundation.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking, but no matter how hard they struggle, they can't break free from Maud's control.

Maud could feel their resistance, and he didn't care much, but looked at Sabo, Luffy, and Jasmine who were nearby.

"Maud..."

Sabo looked at Maud's current appearance with shock in his eyes.

The size of the body has grown a lot, and the muscles all over his body are so knotted that he directly burst his outer jacket, revealing a short jacket with a strong elastic inner lining.

On the arms exposed to the air, from the shoulders to the elbows, each coiled a zigzag pattern of jet-black flames.

On the cheeks, at the collarbone, there is the same dark flame pattern.

These lines are very eye-catching against the gray skin tone.

The unknown change made Maud stand still, exuding a suffocating aura.

Sengoku and Ace on the execution platform, Fujitora who came back to help, many navies closest to the execution platform, Whitebeard and Akainu in the distance, and even countless people watching the live broadcast.

All eyes are on Maud.

Most people have no idea what Maud just did.

What they saw was that Maud dodged and came behind the Straw Hats, but the Straw Hats stood motionless as if they had been immobilized.

In this case, just a few people can kill the Straw Hats.

"What did you do to Zoro!?"

The strangeness of his companions made Luffy glared at Maud.

His skin was red and shiny, and steam continued to emerge, but he did not cancel the second gear.

In the face of Luffy's questioning, Maud directly ignored it and turned his head to look at Whitebeard and Akainu in the distance.

call out!

Seeing that Maud ignored him and looked away, Luffy came to Maud without thinking.

"Luffy!"

Seeing Luffy's reckless actions, Sabo was startled and took a step forward subconsciously.

However,

Fujitora, who came back to help, unceremoniously created a gravitational field that directly pressed on him and Jasmine.

At the same time, Luffy launched an attack on Mord.

"Rubber jet bullets!"

Like a jet gun, the fists covered with armed colors slammed into Maud's chest like lightning.

The explosive attack came in a blink of an eye, but Maud easily grabbed Luffy's wrist with just a touch of his right hand.

The offensive created by the rubber jet bullets melted in an instant.

While restraining Luffy's offensive, Maud did not straighten his eyes to look at Luffy, but continued to look at the situation on Whitebeard and Akainu.

A familiar scene made Luffy's eyes widen.

"Luffy, shouldn't this be your 'full strength'?"

Maud slowly turned his eyes and looked at Luffy who seemed to be unable to accept the status quo.

As soon as the words came out, Maud didn't wait for Luffy to react, grabbed Luffy, and slammed into the ground.

Bang!

Luffy's back hit the ground hard.

The terrifying power directly shattered the slate beneath him.

With such a heavy blow, Luffy immediately spit out a large mouthful of blood, and his consciousness had a brief downtime.

"Luffy!"

Not far away, Karp noticed this scene, and his face couldn't help changing.

on the execution stand.

Ace's gaze towards Mord's back was filled with substantial anger.

inside the field.

Maud grabbed Luffy and stretched his wrist by more than a meter.

Luffy was lying in the shallow pit, his mouth full of blood, and his face was dizzy.

"Next time, don't heal the scar and forget the pain."

Maud said softly, and at the same time released Luffy's wrist.

Click!

I don't know what Maud did, but when Luffy's right hand was retracting, it bent at a strange angle and made a crisp fracture sound.

"what!!!"

The pain of the fractured right arm made Luffy unable to hold back for a while, and screamed out on the spot.

Rubber...does it break too?

Hearing Luffy's screams, Garp, who was fighting with Marco, suddenly clouded over his forehead.

Swish-!

Knowing that Maud is the type who kills when he says he will kill without any hesitation, Garp, who was suddenly apprehensive, left Marko directly without thinking, and dodged to attack Maud.

His huge fist was covered with a very high-level armament, and he punched Morde's face like this.

"Cap!"

On the execution stand, Sengoku's expression changed after seeing Garp's actions.

This idiot, can't escape the love between children after all...

Warring States clenched his fists, feeling helpless.

Facing Garp's fist, Maud just released the right hand of Luffy's wrist, turned his palm into a shield, and firmly resisted Garp's right fist.

boom!

fist fight.

The turbulent air waves swept all around.

Maud, who received Garp's punch, was as motionless as a mountain.

"Who is the pirate and who is the navy?"

Maud looked at Garp with a clear sarcasm in his tone.
