Chapter 495: Old grudges

Chapter 495
The sharp knife light swept towards the back of Bartolomio's neck.
At the critical moment, Sauron came forward.
Cang!
The three crossed knives stubbornly resisted the fatal cut of Taotu towards the back of Bartolomio's neck.
"Get in the way."
Seeing Sauron blocking the attack for Bartolomio, a touch of coldness passed through the peach rabbit burgundy eyes.
She activated her abilities silently, releasing a scent that made her bones soft.
Sauron didn't understand Taotu's ability, and unsuspectingly inhaled the aroma that worked immediately.
"Ok?"
The sense of loss suddenly emerging from his limbs shocked Sauron slightly, defensively, and then revealed flaws.
Taotu homeopathic pressure knife.
The body of the Jinpiluo smashed the three swords that Sauron had placed in front of him in one fell swoop, and then slashed heavily on Sauron's chest.
The sharp knife light flashed.
A large amount of blood spattered from Sauron.
Sauron grunted and fell to the ground.
"Sauron!!!"
Sauron's blood was seen splashing to the ground.
The straw hats who had just stabilized their figure suddenly widened their eyes and looked panicked.
Taotu ignored Sauron who had fallen in front of him, quickly retracted the knife, and immediately slammed straight toward Bartolomio's front door.
The whole set of movements was completed in one go, extremely clean and tidy.
But Sauron's protection still bought Bartolomio time to make a "ability gesture".
"Barrier barrier!!!"
Just when Bartolomio's index finger could overlap, the barrier has not yet appeared.
Two tiny crescent-shaped air bombs flew from the tea dolphin and hit Bartolomio's index finger first.
laugh!
Blood spattered.
Four truncated fingers flew into the air.
Bartolomio was stunned for a while, staring blankly at the blood splattered finger.
Any powerful devil fruit will be restricted to a certain extent.
How many barrier fruits with absolute defensive properties are naturally among them.
The and index finger overlap each other to activate the ability, which is the restriction of the barrier fruit.
Tea Dolphin saw through this. After Fujitora attacked the fortress, he deliberately cut off Bartolomio's index fingers with a flying finger gun.
This also means that Bartolomeo who has lost his index finger will no longer be able to use the barrier fruit ability.
but,
It doesn't matter anymore.
Because Taotu's knife will take away Bartolomio's life in the next instant.
In a short while, Tea Dolphin thought so.
But the sharp sword collision that followed immediately interrupted the tea dolphin's expectation.
The knife that Taotu stabbed at Bartolomio was blocked.
And the person blocking the knife was Maude who had just broken the red dog into magma with a shadow holy fierce bullet.
With a sideways posture, he randomly placed Qiu Shui's knife body diagonally in front of Bartolomio's face, making Taotu's knife unable to move forward.
at the same time.
In the pit hit by the shadow sacred fierce bomb, scattered magma gathered in a ball, slowly turning into the appearance of a red dog.
Maude's fierce attack did not hurt the Akagi.
"Bacardi Maud!"
The red dog looked gloomy, chanted Maud's name in a cold voice, then jumped out of the pit and looked at the situation inside the court.
In just a few seconds when he was suppressed by Maude, the situation in the field changed significantly.
The red dog frowned and looked at the Huoquan Ace and others who had broken out a certain distance, and then soon saw Maude and Taotu who were facing each other.
Almost without hesitation, the red dog, who had just been stunned by Maud, rushed to Ace and Nicole Robin.
Compared to dealing with Maud, it is the business to kill Ace and Nicole Robin as soon as possible.
Maude noticed the movement of the red dog, but there was no way to stop it for the first time.
If the red dog wants to kill Ace and Luffy...
Maude would sit on the sidelines with cold eyes, but would not watch the red dog hurt Sabo, Jasmine, Usopp, and Robin who had promised.
"They should be able to hold on for a while, so let's get rid of Taotu."
Maude had a murderous intent.
The tip of Jinpiluo's sword slammed on Qiushui's body.
"I didn't expect you to save him."
Taotu stared coldly at Maude who had been killed halfway.
Maude didn't answer the peach rabbit, but glanced at Bartolomio's wound.
"The idol actually came to save me!!! Ugh!!! I am so touched!!!"
Bartolomio slowly recovered, seeing that the idol had saved him, and burst into tears with excitement.
Some fingers were broken, and there was no way to use the barrier fruit ability anymore, they were all thrown behind his head in an instant.
"..."
Maude looked at Bartolomio with a nose and tears.
Seeing Maude ignoring himself, Taotu's eyes flashed cold, and said coldly:
"The person you saved was already a well-known gang leader before he went to sea, Bacardi Maud, have you forgotten... the chief culprit who killed your'family'? The culprit is from a gangster."
Trying to use words to shake Maud's Peach Rabbit, he secretly prepared to use his abilities.
"So, are you'curious' why I saved Tolomio?"
Maude looked at Taotu with no expression on his face, and with a thought, the shadow behind him instantly turned into ten pitch-black pointed spears, crossing his side, and stabbing Taotu fiercely.
Taotu's complexion changed, and he swiftly retreated, avoiding the pitch-black pointed spear stabbed from the front.
Looking at the retreating peach rabbit, Maude took back the unsuccessful shadow gun, and said lightly: "The reason is very simple, whoever you want to kill, I want to save who you want to save, who I want to kill. ."
Taotu's face gradually turned ugly upon hearing this.
Maude sneered silently, stepped on his feet, his figure shot out like electricity, and came to Taotu in a blink of an eye.
The autumn water covered with solid armed colors suddenly slashed towards Taotu.
Taotu's eyes condensed slightly, holding a knife to block.
Cang!
When the blades collided, the violent force transmitted from the Jinpiluo made Taotu's complexion change, and her breathing became messy.
next moment,
Maude's second knife followed immediately.
Taotu bit his scalp and raised his knife to block again.
Cang!
The strength transmitted from the body of the Jinbila sword still exceeded her expectations.
Qiang Qiang...!
In a short period of time, more than ten times slashed down on Jinpiluo.
Such a fierce offensive defeated Taotu steadily, and there was almost no room for breathing.
While struggling to resist the offensive, Taotu wanted to send the "negative aroma" to Maude.
But reluctantly found that the fragrance released, without exception, was shaken by the sharp knife wind caused by the collision of the armed colors.
Unable to use the negative scent to dissolve Maud’s offensive, Taotu can only act on itself with the "buffing scent".
Calm fragrance, 100% taste.
Inspire incense, increase strength and speed.
After the gain, Taotu gradually resisted Maude's offensive.
But the next moment,
A arrow spattered from Taotu's shoulder blade without warning.
This is the beginning of Maude's shadow knife.
"Ok?"
The shoulder blade was cut out of thin air, but Taotu was shocked.
This is the move Maude used on White Beard before...
Taotu was just born with a stab wound on her abdomen and lower waist, and blood flowed out from the wound for a while.
"Using shadows to cause harm... how to prevent it? No, it can't be prevented at all..."
With the lessons learned by White Beard, Taotu understood the principle of Maude's ability to cause harm to her out of thin air.
but,
She is now the suppressed party, and it is already difficult enough to resist Maude's squally stormy blade.
Where is the spare energy to defend Maude's shadow knife attack?
In other words,
Continue like this,
Even if she could catch Maude's Qiushui every time, she would be cut by Maude's shadow knife.
Qiang Qiang!
Just as Taotu had expected.
Every time Maude fell, an extra stab wound would occur on her body.
But within three or four seconds, Taotu suffered 13 more stab wounds on her body.
The calming fragrance can make her ignore the pain unilaterally, but it can't help her stop the bleeding.
Soon, half of Taotu's body was stained red with blood.
Facing the horrific suppressive power that Maude showed, Taotu felt like being trapped in a mire, no matter how hard he exerted his strength, he could not get rid of Maude's endless violent sword force.
then,
That's all, Maude's shadow knife slashed the wound on his body.
"No chance..."
Taotu was desperate.
"You can't even fight back. I'm very unwilling, right?"
Maude suddenly said.
Taotu didn't say a word, gritted his teeth to resist the offensive, and kept retreating, spilling blood on the ground.
"After realizing the gap, you are desperate, right?"
"..."
"Hey, someone can't stand it and wants to help you."
Maude wanted to say a few more words to torture Taotu's spirit, but then he noticed the tea dolphin rushing here quickly.
"But I can assure you that no one can save you today."
