Chapter 598: Oh, got it. (Two in one)

Chapter 598, I see. (Two in one)
The arm-colored right foot was wrapped around, suppressing Ace to the ground.
"Armed color... Damn it!"
Under the heavy blow, Ace had a pain in his chest and his mouth was full of blood, but his eyes were sharp as a knife, pointing straight at Maude, without the slightest retreat.
He was not angry because of Maude's condescending words, but was aroused endless fighting spirit.
The body of the old man is indeed still in Maude's hands...
Just confirming this is enough, there is no need to make a fuss about it.
Huh!
Ace's limbs clinging to the ground instantly turned into a raging flame and rushed towards Maude, who was close at hand.
"..."
When Maude saw this, a chill quickly appeared in his eyes, but he stagnated in an instant.
The tip of the Qiu Shui knife hung on Ace's face, so it took a long time to take a shot, and could not be cut off first.
The raging flames bombarded Maude, shaking Maude back a few meters away.
Clusters of flames, like tarsus maggots, clung to him.
call--!
Maude waved Qiushui towards his side, and the vigor that he produced led the flames stuck on his body to one side as much as possible, and it fell on the ground to form a long and narrow flame channel.
The flame just now did not cause any harm to Maude.
"Your fire... is too weak."
Morden was calm, as if telling a convincing fact.
Before the top, he had fought Ace in Alabastan once, and at that time he could feel some pressure.
Now, let alone the pressure, I feel that I can defeat Ace without the ability of Shadow Fruit.
After retreating Maude, Ace quickly got up, raised his hand to wipe the blood from his mouth, flames were burning everywhere on his body, but the eyes looking at Maude were cold as winter.
Facing Maude's evaluation, Ace did not refute, but silently increased his firepower.
Suddenly, the flames that ignited from all over his body suddenly became vigorous, and a wall of fire radiating high temperature intertwined behind him.
Maude just quietly watched Ace build momentum, and did not continue to attack.
With Sabo's friendship, he can't kill Ace.
That's why I hesitated when I dropped the knife just now, and Ace broke free from suppression.
otherwise……
When Ace fought back, Qiu Shui would slash Ace's body first.
In that kind of situation, not to mention that Ace could be killed by a single blow, and Ace was seriously injured.
"Ace, are you okay?"
At this time, Marco and Vista returned almost at the same time and came to Ace.
Ace nodded at them, indicating that he was okay.
When Marco and Vista saw this, they breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Maude with dread.
Click, click, click
There was a conspicuous sound of freezing ice behind Maude, but the green pheasant came step by step. When it settled, the cold air condensed ice on the ground and spread to the surroundings.
"Captain, let me come."
The green pheasant still had his hands in his pockets, calmly looking at Ace, Marco, and Bista.
After a few rounds of fighting, Ace and Bista were injured respectively. As for Marco, under the effect of the Phoenix's ability, even if the body is injured, he can instantly recover as before.
Injured in the battle, it makes no difference to Marco.
In this case, the green pheasant is one enemy three, which is not difficult.
However, at the moment when the combat power is obviously rich, there is no need to take this battle alone.
The motive that prompted him to do this was only because he had just seen Maude leave his hand to Ace.
As for the reason...
The green pheasant, as the first person to come into contact with Maud as an enemy, naturally knows the foundation.
And now, as a crew member, he took the initiative to relieve the captain's worries, which is naturally justified.
Maude glanced at the green pheasant and realized something vaguely, he paused in his thoughts, and then calmly said: "Go and deal with Marco."
"Ah la la, alright."
The green pheasant scratched his hair, but didn't insist on it, and simply responded to the captain's order.
After the brief conversation between Maude and the green pheasant ended, Marco immediately opened his full form, wrapped in blue flames, flapping his wings to the sky.
"Pineapple gravel!"
Marco stretched the Qingyan wings on both sides and snapped down suddenly.
Accompanied by a whistling sound like tearing the air, the blue flames on the wings turned into clusters of gravel-like flames, pouring towards Maude and the green pheasant like a shower.
Click, click, click
Thin ice condensed on the green pheasant's face, looking up to the sky, clusters of blue flames were reflected in the eyes.
call out--!
He flashed into the air, and within the extremely limited reaction time, took the initiative to narrow the distance with the pineapple gravel.
"Freezing Time Capsule!"
The green pheasant raised his hands flat, and a shock wave of white cold air gushing out from his palm, bombarding the pineapple shimmer in front of him.
Boom, chick--!
Two energies with different attributes are entangled with each other, once again setting off air waves and steam.
And underneath.
Maude didn't even look at the battle above his head, took a step forward, and disappeared out of thin air as soon as the sole of his foot landed.
The next moment.
Maude dodges again and comes to Ace.
The same speed, the same sense of oppression!
"!!!"
The red light in Ace's eyes skyrocketed, and his body was elementalized at a very fast speed, completely blending into the wall of fire that had just been intertwined.
Such a move is intended to make Maude lose his target.
Afterwards, he controlled the flames around him and swept Maude in front of him into the flames.
however……
Ace's knowledge is not weak, but Maude's knowledge is even better.
Maude drew out the ferret flintlock with his left hand. Without even previewing, he turned the muzzle and pulled the trigger.
boom!
The armed colored lead bullet pierced from the barrel of the gun flew into the wall of fire in an instant.
The powerful penetrating power penetrated the blazing fire wall into a hole with a big mouth.
At the edge of the cavity, a string of scattered blood drops could be vaguely seen, but they were evaporated by the flame in a blink of an eye.
This unprompted shot obviously hit Ace.
However, it did not make Ace lose his combat effectiveness.
Because, the wall of fire that fell in front of Maude like a curtain, was controlled by Ace's mind, and suddenly rushed to Maude.
Looking at the momentum, it seemed that he was planning to wrap Maude into the flames.
"The attack method is too monotonous, and..."
The ferret flintlock that Maude held in his left hand turned into an unsheathed snow-white long knife after a flash of white light.
Afterwards, Maude used both knives together, cutting off the two overlords that were advancing side by side towards the rushing flames.
boom!
With the white light shining, the impact of the changhong shining through the sun destroyed all the flames with a force of destruction, thus revealing the repulsed Ace.
"You just chose to retreat. In fact, you are aware of the absolute strength gap between us."
Maude looked up at Ace who was shot into the air.
At this moment, a sharp sword light slashed from his side.
But it was Bista swinging his swords to attack Maude's right side.
Maude, who sensed the offensive of Vista, while looking sideways, raised his arms, holding Qiu Shui to support the double swords cut from his side.
Cang!
The blades collided, sputtering violent sparks.
The strength of each other collided with each other through the blades, and the air wave derives from it, rolling up the surrounding fine ice ballast, hovering and flying around, like a small blizzard.
"one-hand……"
Bista's solemn gaze went straight through the body of the Qiu Shui knife, and fell on Maude's right hand holding the knife as steady as a mountain.
He, who was also a swordsman with two swords, suddenly realized the danger.
Or--
The same is a double-sword flow. When Maude held his double swords steadily with a single knife, in a sense, he had already lost.
But this is a death fight.
Will win by life or death.
Immediately, Bista suddenly withdrew one of the swords.
The blade drew a burst of sparks along Qiushui's blade.
At the cost of being suppressed and taking two steps back, Bista successfully withdrew one of the swords.
And at this moment, Maude held the ferret long knife in his left hand, piercing Bista's chest with lightning speed.
It is a pity that Bista took precautions in advance with his rich combat experience.
Cang!
The sword body, which was drawn back by Bista's adventure, blocked the long knife stabbed by Mord in time.
Although it blocked the knife, Bista's defensive inevitably defeated, kicking back.
Maude took the lead and stepped forward, cutting out a burst of impenetrable sharp blade light with both knives in his hands, enveloping Bista.
锵锵锵......! ! !
Swords fought, sparks flashed.
Facing the offensive of Maud's gusty wind and rain, Bista retreats steadily, like standing on the edge of a cliff, it is possible to fall into a dead end at any time.
"Damn it!"
Bista fought hard against Maude's offensive.
But because of the missed opportunity and a shoulder injury, Bista quickly felt strenuous, and there was a sense of crisis that Maude would cut off at any time.
In just a few breaths, the swords of both sides fought dozens of times.
And Bista almost stepped on the cliff.
In this dangerous situation, Ace finally came back for help.
On the way over, Ace stretched his arms back, his hands turned into flames.
That action was quite a bit like when Luffy used a rubber rocket launcher.
"Shenhuo, Shiranui!"
Ace threw his hands forward, the flames in his hand gathered into a spear, and it shot straight at Maude's temple and waist.
Out of the corner of Maude's eyes, he glanced at the fierce musket that flew.
When the mind moved slightly, the shadow that originally covered the body suddenly parted from the body, transforming into a strip of slender shadow pillars, piercing against the gun.
The shadow pillar with both physical and hardness attributes easily penetrated the Shenhuo Shiranui that Ace had thrown over, and then shot Ace in the air with unabated momentum.
"Are you entangled in armed color..."
Ace looked solemnly at the flying shadow pillar, and with the help of seeing and hearing color, he could barely see the dark armed color that merged with the shadow pillar.
Ace, who didn't dare to be big, didn't rush into elementalization, but moved vigorously to the left and right, avoiding the shadow pillars stabbed from all directions.
Bang bang bang...!
The shadow pillar crossed Ace's body and plunged into the ground, causing violent explosions.
While Ace cautiously dodges the incessantly attacking shadow pillars, he rushed towards Maude and Bista who were facing the sword.
Since Maude separated some shadows to attack Ace, the blessing effect of Shadow Fiend form was directly reduced to 50%.
The weakening of strength and speed eased Bista's defensive pressure to a certain extent.
But even so, Bista was still suppressed by Maude.
Even with only half of the power of Shadow Fiend form blessing, it can also increase Maude's comprehensive melee ability to a level that Bista can't reach anyway.
This is the fundamental gap in combat effectiveness.
In fact, from the moment of the fight, Bista deeply realized Maude's monster-like terrifying suppression power.
Whether it is power, speed, or even skill, he can't compare.
Such a gap cannot be made up by experience alone.
In other words, at the moment of the fight--
Bista had already seen the result of his fiasco.
"How long has passed since Malinfando's battle, but this man..."
Bista strained his face, gritted his teeth and withstood the stormy offensive from Maud.
"It's... a monster through and through..."
The declining defense was finally full of fatal cracks.
Under these circumstances, any moves and techniques derived from the Foil Stream can no longer restore the situation.
Cang!
The tipping point has come.
"Foil..."
Maude whispered to himself, with a knife that provoked Bista's sword.
Bista then revealed his flaws, and the defense that was hard to support fell apart.
Maude did not show mercy, and another long knife slammed into Huanglong and slashed on Bista's chest.
Puff!
The light of the knife flashed, blood gushing.
Bista snorted, his face suddenly pale.
not far away.
Seeing that Bista was cut by Maud, Ace's expression changed drastically.
"Bista...!!!"
Either because of blood, or because of willpower--
No matter what factors it depends on, at this moment, the turbulent emotions expanded wildly in Ace's body like a combustion aid, causing him to suddenly explode with stronger and fierce power.
The flames that grew out of thin air rushed to the surrounding frantically like a monstrous wave, full of the momentum to burn all things to death.
The shadow pillar that was attacking Ace was swallowed by a wave of flames in a blink of an eye.
Ace's sudden eruption could not help attracting the attention of everyone present.
The navy, including Fujitora at the entrance of Dresrosa, were all staring at the firefist Ace that released a monstrous flame.
"Are you awakened..."
Fujitora could not see, but he could see clearly than anyone present.
The surging wave of flames controlled by the Huo Fist in front of him was clearly not released from the Huo Fist's body, but a flame that ignited out of thin air by treating the surrounding air as fuel.
Under the gaze of one after another, Ace stood in the monstrous flame, his body illuminated by the firelight, like a phoenix reborn from the fire.
When the shackles are released...
Along with the flames, there was the confidence and fighting spirit to defeat Maude.
"Bacardi Maud!!! I will definitely defeat you!!!"
A cluster of flames flickered in Ace's eyes.
"Oh, got it."
As soon as Ace's voice fell, Maude's flat voice without any emotion rang in his ears.
The shadow pillar is not afraid of flames, hiding in the monstrous flames, but will become a more secret transfer pedal.
"!?"
Hearing Maude's voice, the flames in Ace's eyes flickered and suddenly stood still.
When……
As soon as Ace was suspicious, he was confined by Maude, who had already sheathed the long sword, with his hands covered with armed colors and shadows, and was immediately hit by Maude against his stomach with a knee.
Bang!
Unimaginable power penetrated Ace's body through this knee.
"Puff!"
As if internal bleeding, Ace spit out a lot of blood.
The flame that had frozen in his eyes, after this blow, was extinguished.
The ubiquitous flames of teeth and claws immediately produced a tendency to cease.
The audience was quiet.
The navy who thought that Ace was going to show off his power after the awakening, stared at a pair of exaggerated eyeballs at this moment, staring at Ace who was wilting in an instant.
Wait, this development doesn't seem right...
Shouldn't it be Ace who was awakened with a burst of willpower, and beat Maude Fatty first after he emerged?
How can it fall faster than before! ?
