Chapter 378: Shot while lying down

Chapter 378 Lying and getting shot
Among the many characteristics of shadow fruit,
Whether it’s the control of [Step on the Shadow] or the one-shot kill of [Shadow],
They are all very powerful abilities in close combat.
Maude slashed at the shadow under Ace with a backhand, intending to cut the shadow.
Different from stepping shadows where the power must be stronger than the opponent to produce the control effect, if it is shadow cutting, it can be done only with the help of a sharp weapon.
just,
Shading requires a precondition.
That is the shadow of the target on the ground, and the outline must be clear.
Under this premise, if the shadow cut is successful, the battle can end in an instant.
Knife light passed.
The tip of the Qiu Shui knife successfully touched Ace's shadow.
however,
Before Qiu Shui had drawn the shadow further, Ace seemed to have a sense of it, and made his whole body elemental a step in advance.
In an instant, Ace's body turned into a raging flame.
With the elementalization of Ace's whole body, the shadow that was originally the [practical goal] no longer exists.
Maude's shadow immediately fell through.
And the raging flames after the elementalization of Ace directly flowed to Maude, who was close at hand.
At this moment, it was the time for Maude to slash his sword to the ground, so that it was difficult for him to defend himself immediately.
But Maude also has ferrets.
Between these lightning flints, there is no need for Maude to issue instructions.
Bailey, with his own mind, just like telepathy, conformed to Maude's thoughts in advance, and changed from flintlock shape to long knife shape.
Armed color!
Domineering came out, attached to the ferret blade, and instantly dyed the ferret's jade-white blade into jet black.
"As long as my'attack speed' is faster than yours, elementalization is meaningless."
Maude's eyes flashed red, and he sensed the position of Ace's body from the flames.
Immediately, a knife slashed on the turbulent flames rushing toward the face.
laugh--!
Cut it off with a single blow.
The drawn sword energy split the flames of teeth and claws.
As the flame was shaken and scattered by the sword energy, Yu Wei passed through the weak flame and cut a deep ditch straight ahead in the sand.
There was still some burning sensation on Maude's skin, but the flame in front of him had almost dispersed.
just,
The knife still didn't hurt Ace.
Although Maude could gain insight into Ace's specific position through seeing and hearing, Ace's seeing and hearing is not weak.
Before the crisis approached, Ace responded in advance, preferring to slow down the offensive, rather than giving Maude a chance to hit a hit.
"It's dangerous."
The overflowing flames gathered towards the sky, and soon condensed into Ace's figure.
Standing high in the sky, Ace's eyes were slightly solemn.
The hand-to-hand combat just now made him feel the oppressive force he hadn't seen for a long time.
Especially when Maude used teleportation to burst behind him, a strong sense of crisis emerged spontaneously.
It's been a long time... he hasn't experienced such a clear sense of oppression firsthand.
The man underneath is very unusual!
Ace's mood was constant, and the arms stretched out to both sides turned into flames, like a pair of flapping fire wings.
Immediately, Ace twisted his waist and the whole person was spinning at high speed in the air.
With the rotation, the flame suddenly turned into a spiral fire column with a diameter of several meters.
"Yanjie, Pillar of Fire!"
Ace stopped spinning and pushed the condensed spiral fire column to Maude on the ground.
The hot pillar of fire fell violently.
"Your'fire' is certainly strong, but it is useless in front of my hegemony..."
Maude looked up at the Flame Ring Fire Pillar that fell from the sky, and between the slashes, there was an overlord that soared to the sky with a proper power control.
The front sagittal shock wave visible to the naked eye, from bottom to top, easily smashed the Yan Jie Fire Pillar.
It's like blowing a candle.
Blowing over in one breath, there is no reason why the candle will not go out.
After the Yanji Fire Pillar was shaken, the overlord still had some surplus and rushed straight to Ace.
Ace was also obviously aware that a large-scale flame attack could not raise the slightest storm in front of Maud's hegemony, and frowned.
This is tantamount to banning the advantage of being a natural department.
Seeing the aftermath of the hegemony coming head-on, Ace didn't think much about it, and the whole body was elementalized to avoid the damage caused by the hegemony.
After re-condensing his figure, Ace's frowning brow eased and calmly looked down at Maude underneath.
"My flame can't help you, but your hegemony can't hurt me either."
"That's the truth."
Suddenly, behind Ace came Maud's sympathetic voice.
However, Modd's original location in his sight turned into a pitch-black bird standing in the low altitude with its wings flapping.
"When……"
Ace was taken aback, mobilizing his abilities like a conditioned reflex, and a high-temperature flame sprayed out from his back, rushing towards Maude, who was behind him.
however,
The moment before the flame swallowed Maud.
Maude exchanged positions with Shadowbird again.
The shadow bird that was changed to a high altitude was instantly swallowed by flames.
As long as Ace can't cover the flames with the armed color, it is impossible to attack the shadow and feedback the damage to Maude's body.
After releasing the flames, Ace's lithe body suddenly turned around, but Maude had already exchanged positions with Shadowbird.
Maude, who returned to the ground, raised the flintlock that Bailey had changed, and pulled the trigger at Ace's back.
boom--!
The lead bullet wrapped in armed colors passed through the gunpowder and went straight to the White Beard Pirate Group's flag tattoo on Ace's back.
"Have you swapped places with Shadow again..."
The moment Ace heard the gunshots, his heart jumped.
The speed at which Maude's shadow body exchanged positions was so fast, it was no different from teleporting.
In order to resist the shooting from behind, Ace can only make the semi-elemental and light body become completely elemental again.
Suddenly, Ace's body turned into a raging flame, hanging above the sky, like a cloud of fire.
As a result, the armed colored lead bullet passed through the flames and left without success.
Seeing Ace once again used the elemental characteristics of the natural element to avoid damage, Maude didn't care, nor did he switch positions with the shadow, but kept pulling the trigger to attract Ace's attention.
The gunshots suddenly continued.
Lead bullets were shot into the air, blasting out the flames of Ace's element.
If things like firearms are used for cover, it doesn't matter whether there is substantial damage.
It is enough to disturb the rhythm of the enemy.
The lead bullets fired endlessly, just like this, it kept destroying the flames.
Just ordinary lead bullets, elemental Ace didn't take it seriously at first.
But when he saw a lead bullet entwined with armed domineering in the rain of bullets, the whole person was not good.
"It's too overcast..."
Ace was wary of armed attacks interspersed in bullets.
just,
Since the fight, he has been suppressed by Maude.
This makes him quite depressed.
The main reason is that Maude's hegemonic power will kill him with the destructive power of burning the fruit.
Maude looked up at Ace while avoiding her sharp edge, while slowly falling from the sky.
"it's time……"
A gleam of light flashed across Maude's eyes.
The lead bullet shot out of the barrel quietly turned into a shadow bullet, and the bullet speed instantly increased more than three times.
Ace is keenly aware of the change in the speed and frequency of the projectile, but still has no defensive pressure.
Elementalization was originally the nemesis of ordinary gunshots, so just beware of the armed colored lead bullets that Mord interspersed in it.
Such a thought just started, and the situation on the court suddenly changed.
"Ok?"
Under Ace's gaze, the lead bullets shot at high speed suddenly turned into pitch-black butterflies, circling and dancing around.
"It will never be..."
Seeing the butterflies hovering around, Ace realized something.
No way?
Can that kind of thing be done?
The speculation flashed in his mind caused Ace's heart in the flame form to freeze slightly.
Just when Ace shifted part of his attention to the many dark butterflies, Maude had already put Qiushui into his sheath, and Bailey had turned into a double spear and was held in his hand.
In the next second, the offensive displayed by Maude literally confirmed Ace's guess.
Shadow stream, day fireworks!
Maude's figure disappeared out of thin air.
The next moment,
He swapped positions with a pitch-black butterfly hovering to the left of Ace.
"Boom!"
When teleporting, Maude raised his guns and pulled the trigger towards Ace's side.
As soon as the gunfire sounded, Maude disappeared out of thin air.
When he appeared again, the man was already behind Ace.
"Bang bang—"
The moment he pulled the trigger, Maude shifted to another direction.
"Bang bang—"
"Bang bang—"
"Bang bang—"
In this way, Maude switched positions at the fastest speed.
And every time it switches, two shots will be fired at Ace in flame form.
With the assistance of the shadow butterfly, a teleportation medium, and the use of the domineering vision and color to grasp the precise timing.
In a short period of time, Maude shot lead bullets toward Ace from all directions.
While the gunshots rang across the sky, the direct light of the yellow pen pulled out by the lead bullets intertwined and converged from all directions, creating a wonderful scene.
As if above the daylight, there seemed to be a stroboscopic flash of fireworks.
Ace, who was in it, could only travel in embarrassment among the elemental flames.
because,
Among the many lead bullets coming from all directions, there are many special lead bullets entwined with armed colors.
"Using the gun like this, it's a monster..."
The Nature Department, which is least afraid of shooting, was forced into danger at this time.
Ace was amazed at Maud's use of abilities, and couldn't help feeling deeply afraid.
From the very beginning, Ace would not underestimate Maud's strength.
But after the real fight, the strength that Maude showed, still greatly exceeded Ace's expectations.
"Although it is not a death fight, I am really suppressed..."
Facing the lead bullets coming from all directions, Ace's eyes narrowed.
In the desert.
The straw hat group outside the battle circle, and Perona floating in mid-air, both raised their heads and stared at the scene intertwined by gunfire in the sky.
This daytime fireworks staged in front of them gave them a sense of beauty that was thrilling.
Just put yourself in the place, you will feel that you can't even struggle, only the feeling of despair of waiting for death in the same place.
As a sniper, Usopp was shocked by Maud's daytime fireworks and couldn't say anything.
Even if he imagined it out of thin air, he knew very well that he would never be able to shoot such an unreasonable offensive with a gun.
we can even say,
In this world, there is no second person who can play such day fireworks...
This is absolutely unique and powerful!
And that man is his master.
At this moment, Usopp was extremely proud.
However, such a powerful master, at this moment, has to deal with his approved companions.
Usopp looked confused.
"Hey, don't say I didn't remind you, if you don't want to die, you'd better leave here."
Perona raised her head and stared at Maud's non-stop bullet rain offensive. She felt a faint sense of crisis inexplicably after she had done experience training.
It was like air everywhere, making her very uneasy.
After reminding the straw hat group, Perona did not hesitate to step back and stay away from the battle circle as much as possible.
She didn't want to be killed by a stray bullet just to watch a battle.
In that case, it's really wrong.
Hearing Perona’s reminder, the straw hat group followed in their own way and followed Perona’s footsteps, moving backwards away from the ring.
Only Luffy remained in place and motionless.
"Luffy, don't you come here soon!"
Seeing Luffy standing in place like a wood, Nami urged.
"I am a rubber man, so I am not afraid of bullets!"
Luffy didn't look back, focusing on the battle between Maude and Ace.
Nami was startled.
Also, Luffy is not afraid of bullets.
Thinking of this, Nami shook her head slightly.
Sauron and Sanji also knew this, so they let Luffy stay there.
But when they retreated far enough, a stray bullet came obliquely from the air and hit Luffy's right waist abdomen without death.
puff--!
The expected rebound of the lead bullet did not occur.
Instead, the lead bullet pierced Luffy's waist and abdomen leaning to the right, bringing up a dazzling blood flower.
"Uh?"
Luffy was stunned.
Nami and his party were also stunned when they saw Luffy shot.
The air seemed to freeze briefly.
After a while,
"I was shot!"
Luffy screamed, and the unusual pain from the wound made him roll on the sand with his wound.
"How could this happen, isn't Luffy not afraid of bullets?"
"Hey, Chopper, Luffy is injured."
"Chopper is fainted by the heat again."
"..."
"Sauron, Sanji, hurry up and bring Luffy over!"
Seeing that Luffy was hit by a stray bullet and screamed so badly, Nami and the others panicked.
"moron."
Perona floating in the air with an umbrella shook her head.
It turns out that this guy doesn't know what is armed and domineering.
Hearing the screams made by Luffy's unfortunate shot, Ace, who was about to reach the limit of defensive pressure, was in a daze, and could not help revealing a trace of flaw.
Among the endless lead bullets coming from all directions, there happened to be a lead bullet entwined with armed domineering, which directly penetrated this seemingly insignificant flaw.
laugh--!
A blood arrow sputtered out of the flame, but it was burned out in an instant.
Ace was shot.
The already precarious defensive position suddenly collapsed.
Continue like this,
It's really possible that Ace would be shot to death by Maude.
Two in one.
