Chapter 214: Prey

Chapter 214 Prey
The gunfire stopped in the Colosseum.
In the chaos, only the sound made by the audience when they fled in panic.
On the ring.
The Buffalo that lost his life and the unconscious Baby-5 whose body sank to the floor suddenly raised the figure of Maude in everyone's eyes.
They witnessed the strength displayed by Maude.
Very strong!
So strong that even the two capable people of the Don Quixote family can't survive three rounds in front of Maude.
Nevertheless, they will not stop there.
This is the confidence that the gathering psychology brings to them, on the other hand, it is because of the value of the ancient devil fruit.
"Bacardi Maud..."
Many eyes from all directions gathered on Maude, and then looked at Lafayette who was standing beside Maude.
Just now, Maude threw the crystal box containing the devil fruit to Lafayette.
"Hey, is this the ancient species in the rumor..."
Lafayette turned a blind eye to the malicious gaze coming from all around, calmly looking at the devil fruit in the crystal box.
Compared to Lafayette's calmness, Jim has a serious face.
They are on the ring, and they are also the easiest place to catch fire in the Colosseum.
In silence, Jim's tall and robust body lay behind Maude, blocking part of the potential gun line for Maude.
Maude picked up the unconscious Baby-5 with one hand.
The blood oozing from the nose and mouth, mixed with dust, stained Baby-5's flower-like jade face.
"Bloating is not a good habit."
Maude looked indifferently at Baby-5 whose head was weakened and leaned back.
Just now, if he didn't move fast enough, he stunned Baby-5 before it became a missile.
Otherwise, if Baby-5 successfully blew himself up at such a close distance, there would be no good results.
"Lafayette, the devil fruit is left to you."
Maude glanced at the people around him who were about to move.
Those pirates or bounty hunters who are standing on the audience stage looking over here form a strong and sharp contrast with the audience who are going crazy away from here.
The reason that prompted them to stay firmly in the field was the devil fruit in Lafayette's hands.
Therefore, as long as this devil fruit is always there, these people who Maude regards as potential prey will only be eaten and hang in the Colosseum.
This is also one of the fundamental reasons why Maude first took the devil fruit.
There is only one bait, how can it be eaten so quickly.
"no problem."
Lafayette took Maud's instructions.
He also knew the key to this decoy plan, pressing his red lips lightly, spreading his pure white wings, and flying into the air with the devil fruit.
The devil fruit in his hand is intended to be eaten by Jim.
but,
Before that, he and Maude had to give full play to the value of this devil fruit and turn the Colosseum into a rat trap with obvious intentions.
At that time, the desire bred by the human heart will become a help, allowing the prey to enter the mouse trap involuntarily.
Lafayette flew into the air with the Devil Fruit, and then attracted the attention of pirates and bounty hunters.
Whoever holds the devil fruit will instantly become a target.
"Knock him down!"
Amidst the chaos and noise, someone shouted.
The words full of killing intent were like blowing the horn of war.
Suddenly, the gunfire broke out again.
However, this time the goal became Lafayette.
Countless lead bullets were shot toward Lafayette, who was flying into the air.
"Oh oh..."
Lafayette used his sights and sounds, calmly dodge the lead bullets coming from below.
On the ring.
Maude looked up at Lafayette, who had attracted most of the firepower, concealed the worry in his eyes, and turned to look at Jim beside him.
"Jim, take good care of her."
With that, Maude threw the Baby-5 in his hand to Jim.
"it is good."
Jim raised his hand to catch the unconscious Baby-5.
Maude nodded slightly to Jim, and rushed towards Conan and Botron who were on the other side of the ring.
"Brother Jim, stop standing stupid, hurry up and find a humble place to hide."
Seeing Maude start hunting, Bailey, who was squatting on Jim's bald head, was like a big brother, pointing to the entrance and exit of the iron gate where the fence was pulled down, and beckoning Jim to go there.
Without a word, Jim ran in the direction Bailey was pointing.
He and Bailey don't need to participate in the battle, and there is no need to stand in such a conspicuous arena.
It is also a wise choice to hide at the entrance and exit of the passage located at the edge of the field.
Many pirates and bounty hunters noticed the movements of Jim and Bailey, but did not pay much attention.
Their attention is on the devil fruit in Lafayette's hands.
The devil fruit is still there, and Lafayette is a capable person, which means it is impossible for Lafayette to eat the devil fruit.
In other words, as long as Lafayette is brought down by the fire, everyone involved will have the opportunity to grab the rare ancient devil fruit.
Until then, they won't be like Maude and Lafayette, shopping with Devil Fruits in full view.
Once they grab the devil fruit, they will only use the fastest speed in their lives, first bite a bite of the devil fruit.
The fire was drawn away by Lafayette, and Maude regarded Conan and Botron who were also in the ring as the second prey.
"Ok?"
Botlan, who was about to leave the passage at the end of the stone road, suddenly noticed a killing intent coming from behind.
Conan, who walked side by side with him, was also aware of it for the first time.
The two turned around almost at the same time, and saw Maude rushing over with a knife, and the reason for it was self-evident.
Oh shit……
Both Bertrand and Conan looked shocked, and both cursed inwardly.
Just a few minutes ago, Bertrand made a big talk, and he was cut by Maude.
Originally thinking of finding the place, Buffalo and Baby-5 appeared at the right time, which attracted Maud's attention.
At that time, Bertrand thought that he could take advantage of this opportunity to shed light on Mode.
But he never expected that Buffalo and Baby-5, the two capable players, had no cards.
Maude was by Mordor just one face, and then Botlan attacked an egg.
Botron, who was originally inclined to give up the Devil Fruit, decided to abandon the Devil Fruit after experiencing Maud's strength firsthand and was preparing to leave the Colosseum with Conan.
But now, Maude was chasing him.
The unexpected situation left them with a panic.
"We don't want the devil fruit!"
Bertrand immediately expressed his attitude towards Maude.
The implication at the moment is that they have no plans to fight for the Devil Fruit, so you don't need to trouble us.
Maude just looked at them in silence, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
Seeing Maud’s smile, Botlan and Conan felt a chill.
Suddenly,
The two of them seemed to realize something.
The man in front of me...
correct.
Bacardi Maud...
He was a murderous who caused the massacre of Twin Island!
And I don't know if it was deliberate or a coincidence, the targets of this killing were basically pirates.
"you……!!!"
Cold sweat oozes from the back of Bertrand, and he suddenly pulls out the thick-backed machete hanging from his waist.
In my mind, the words Maude said earlier flashed inexplicably.
I never thought about retiring from the beginning!
Could it be...
"Bacardi Maud, you played from the beginning, just for..."
Before Bertrand had finished speaking, he was interrupted by an oncoming knife.
He got it.
The real purpose of this killing in front of him.
Not for the devil fruit, but...
Inexplicably, he had been in the industry for many years, and the cold in his heart became more intense.
