Chapter 377: Crushing

Chapter 377 Crushing
The tornado formed by the entanglement of Shadow Fist and Fire Fist eventually scattered into flying fragments.
The sand that was swept into the sky fell, and the flames were turned into white smoke.
But Maude's shadow regrouped in the sand rain, condensing a shadow clone with the same outline as the body.
This "fist and fire" attack was a positive test for each other.
As far as the result is concerned, it can be said to be no match.
But in terms of process, Maude took it too easily.
At least, Ace's "look and feel" think so.
After all, the gatekeeper moves are reproduced so easily, it is tantamount to saying in disguise: Your moves are not very good.
"Can Shadow Fruit still be used like this... really interesting."
Thanks to the name of Qiwuhai of Moonlight Moria, who was the former shadow fruit ability, Ace didn't know much about shadow fruit, but he didn't know anything about it.
But it was with Moonlight Moria as a comparison that Ace felt that Maude's use of the shadow fruit ability was very novel and interesting.
"Fire Fist is not effective, what about this trick..."
A smile appeared at the corner of Ace's mouth, his knees bend down, his arms crossed in front of him.
Under the feet, the flames live, forming a vortex and expanding outward.
One meter, two meters, three meters, four meters...
After the flame vortex exceeded ten meters in diameter, it suddenly rose from the ground.
Ace raised his right hand, and his palm seemed to have gravitational force, attracting all the flames from the ground to his palm, and instantly gathered into a huge fireball with a diameter of more than ten meters.
"Da Yan Jie, Emperor Yan!"
The huge fireball exuding high temperature was thrown by Ace towards Maude on the hill.
The fire light rushed to Maude's face with the heat wave first, making his face flushed.
"This is the charm of the Nature Department..."
Looking at the huge fireball that was howling, Maude didn't retreat nor enter.
The picture of the blue pheasant frozen in ice flashed in my mind inexplicably, but there was a little emotion.
I don't know whether the shadow fruit can have this mighty power like the natural system after awakening.
When the Great Yan Jie. Yan Emperor is about to reach the top,
Maude put away his emotions.
Between the electric light and flint,
Draw a knife, cut out.
The seemingly unpretentious knife suddenly brought a cylindrical shock wave that was not weaker than Yandi.
Overlord!
The dazzling light swallowed up all the flames shining along the way.
In the face of this seemingly invincible impact, Yan Emperor's big fireball had no resistance, and was instantly crushed into a wave of flames.
Surrounded by the shock wave, the wave of flames recoiled towards Ace.
"..."
When Ace saw this, his pupils shrank, and looked surprised at the fire wave coming back.
The real power lies not in the raging prairie fire, but the shock wave contained in it.
In an instant, Ace's body was swept in by the flame shock wave.
After swallowing Ace, the flame shock wave continued to grow, and it rolled out a huge ditch on the sand and went straight to the distance.
After the remaining power dissipated, there were many clusters of rootless flames burning quietly in the ditch, but Ace was nowhere to be seen.
"Dead, dead...?"
The Straw Hat group stared blankly at the traces of horror left after the collision between the Overlord and the Emperor Yan, and there was a chill in their hearts.
The man standing on the sand dune thought he was a friend but not an enemy.
Now it seems……
The threat he posed was far greater than the previous rock giant!
"Ace!"
The negative effects of the negative ghost were waning, and Luffy watched Ace's annihilation by the overlord into nothingness, and his eyes suddenly split.
"Damn, you actually gave Ace to..."
"Hey, Luffy, I won't be killed so easily."
Just when Luffy was so angry that he wanted to beat Maude to death, Ace's voice came from the huge ditch.
The rootless fire burning all over the ditch seemed to be picked up by a pair of invisible large hands, gathered together, and slowly kneaded into a human shape, and then revealed the appearance of Ace.
"Ace!"
Seeing that Ace is safe and sound, Luffy, who was still angry the moment before, will cry with joy.
He really thought Ace was dead just now.
Just thinking about it, the heart throbbed like it was going to stop.
Maude looked at Ace, who had no injuries on his body, but he was not surprised.
Such as hegemony moves away from the body, even if the power is amazing when facing the enemy with natural ability, as long as the opponent can react and make the body elemental in time...
Well, the basic structure does not cause much harm.
Furthermore, if Ace can be solved with a single move, Ace will be blinded as the captain of the second team of the White Beard Pirates.
"It's really worthy of being a capable man of the White Beard Pirates."
Maude ridiculed casually, and threw Luffy, whose mood was ups and downs, to the place where Sauron and others were in the distance.
When Luffy was with a shadow chain just now, Maude said he would take Luffy to the navy headquarters, but it was not entirely joking.
Before that, he really had the idea of ​​sending Lu Fei to the execution platform.
In that way, not only can Luffy's background forces be driven to participate in the monstrous wave of the alternation of the old and the new era, but it can also easily disrupt Karp's mood.
Maybe it will create a... chance to kill the naval hero.
If you decide to do this, you don't need Sabo to restore his memory.
But before that, Maude had already embarked on a plan to restore Sabo's memory.
Coupled with the relationship between Luffy and Shanks and Usopp, it was enough to suppress the idea of ​​Maude.
As for Ace, with Blackbeard in his early days, Maude would not put himself in the position of being shot.
The reason for drawing a fight to Ace now is nothing more than not wanting to miss the opportunity to fight a strong man.
"The temptation ends here."
After throwing Fly Luffy, Maude vacated his left hand and held the flintlock deformed by ferret.
A knife in one hand and a gun in the other.
It is the posture that can maximize the power of the shadow fruit.
"That was a temptation just now???"
Sauron and his party trembled when they heard Maude's words.
Recalling the scene after the collision between the overlord and the Emperor Yan suddenly deepened their depression.
Ace took a deep look at Maude, who was holding a knife and gun.
Some things that are usually invisible can be seen clearly as long as they are confronted with each other.
In the two rounds just now, Ace couldn't feel the slightest killing intent.
Yes, it's just pure fighting spirit.
This made him understand.
Just as he used to constantly look for opponents in order to become stronger as soon as possible.
"Haha, it's been a long time since I was so excited."
Ace raised his finger and raised the brim of his hat slightly, only to feel that his blood was boiling.
So, which is stronger and weaker?
"boom--!"
Just as Ace's laughter passed away, Maude took the lead, raising his gun and firing a shot.
The lead bullet wrapped in an armed color came to Ace in a blink of an eye.
"Armed color..."
Ace did not make a dodge action, but elementalized in advance, allowing the body to make a hole for the lead bullet to pass through.
The armed colored lead bullet passed through the hole that Ace actively opened in his body.
At the same time, Maude followed the lead bullet and suddenly appeared behind Ace.
Qiu Shui's blade slashed out.
As the darkness of the blade flashed, Ace's head rose to the sky, and immediately turned into a ball of flame.
This knife was not hit.
In this regard, Maude had long expected, and his backhand drew the knife to the shadow behind Ace.
This is Maude's real purpose after getting close!
