The Scourge of Pirates

Chapter 398: A Moment to a Higher Level

on the square.

Maude was always in the square.

He is tall and straight, with a calm expression.

All those who followed Maude did not notice anything unusual.

Even Perona who was floating beside Maude was the same.

No one noticed that behind Maude standing in the middle of the square... there was no shadow.

at the same time.

Inside the hidden hall of the royal tomb.

Maude came pacing, leaning on the edge of the door, and looked at Luffy who fell to the ground in surprise, and Krokdal who was still able to fight.

Luffy was defeated.

This result was unexpected.

Maybe because of his arrival, something changed after all.

such as,

Let Luffy suffer one less fat beating of Krokdal, so that Luffy failed to accumulate one more experience, so he failed to complete the last piece of the puzzle that defeated Krokdal.

However, it doesn't matter.

"This place is really different, and it's hidden enough."

Maude's gaze flicked over the slightly flustered Klockdal and the comatose Cobra, the huge original historical text, and finally settled on the surprised Robin.

"If it weren't for the'shadow label' I gave you, there would be no way to find it the first time."

"Shadow mark..."

Robin was stunned, and quickly realized what the shadow mark Maude said was, that was, he subconsciously touched the striped gecko in his pocket.

Maude looked at Robin's movements and asked, "So, why don't you ask me for help? I don't think you can escape in this situation."

"..."

Robin was silent immediately.

When the last hope fell through, she had been searching for twenty years in order to explore the truth of history, but she had no motivation to look any further.

With her desperate ambitions, she naturally never thought of using up a chance for help that Maude gave her.

"Forget it, things are yours, don't they need to be your self..."

Maude shook his head slightly, and stopped abruptly.

At the position where Krokdal was in the corner of his eyes, only strands of yellow sand remained.

However, Krokdal took advantage of Maude and Robin's words, and made his body elemental, and immediately went around behind Maude at the fastest speed.

The poisonous golden hook is already ready to go.

If the sneak attack is successful, the danger will be reduced!

Between the sparks and flints, Krocdal's eyes were stern, and he swung his golden hook to the point of Maude.

However, Maude seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He didn't turn around or look back. He just leaned back with his backhand and accurately grasped Krokdal's venomous sharp golden hook.

"Ok?"

Klockdal was shocked.

When the hook was held by Maude, he realized that the hook did not pierce Maude's skin.

Before the original historical text, Robin was shocked and lost his voice: "Hold it with your bare hands...but on it..."

Before the words were finished, there was a sound of gold and stone in the hall.

But Maude broke the sting with his bare hands.

"Very decisive, Krokdal, that's right, this is your'only' chance to come back, but you obviously didn't grasp it."

As soon as the voice fell, Maude turned around.

Instead of drawing a knife, he reached out his hand to poke towards Krokdal.

Krokdal's face changed, his body instantly deserted, and he retreated backwards, trying to distance him from Maude.

But Maude's hand was faster, and directly squeezed Krokdal's neck, in order to contain the elemental phenomenon of Krokdal's body.

"This is... armed color."

The neck was clamped, Krokdal's pupils shrank, and when the trachea was squeezed with brute force, a cloud of sand condensed on the palm without any stagnation.

How could Maude give Klockdal a chance to struggle to death, and with his other hand, he pulled out Qiushui directly and pierced Klockdal's heart directly.

Puff--!

The body of the Qiu Shui sword wrapped around the armed color domineering directly emerged from Krokdal's back, bringing up a burst of blood.

"Uh……!"

Krokdal shook his body, staring at him, staring at Maude, who was close at hand.

Vitality was quickly losing, Krokdal's eyes drooped weakly, and fell on the Qiu Shui Knife that pierced his heart.

His expression gradually became ferocious, as if he could not accept the fact that he was about to die.

The sand swirl condensed in the palm of the hand, but the force majeure disappeared.

The luster in Klockdal's eyes gradually dimmed.

Maude calmly looked at the hideous look on Klockdal's face.

First, he loosened the right hand holding Krokdal's neck, and immediately withdrew back to Qiushui, turning around and walking towards the hall, waving his arm to shake off the blood from the knife.

咚——

Behind Maude, Krokdahl knelt on both knees, and then slowly fell forward to the ground, a cloud of dust gradually rose.

This pirate hero who had been galloping on the sea for many years died in this way by Maude's sword.

And when his vitality was cut off, the traces that could survive were turned into rich experience value gains, followed by a channel that no one could see, and was firmly fed back into Maude's body.

In an instant, the sixth star representing the power of the Devil Fruit-lit up!

This is also the moment when Maude's four abilities all exceed six stars and truly move towards a higher level.

For a moment, Maude, who accepted the experience of Krokdal, felt that he was only one step away from invincibility.

But reason quickly crushed his unrealistic [view].

To be really invincible, I am afraid that at least four requirements must reach nine and a half stars.

Maude shook his head slightly, and shook off the blood stains on the Qiu Shui Knife, and soon Qiu Shui returned to her sheath.

Robin stared at Klockdal's body blankly.

Just die...

It's as easy as blowing out a candle in one breath.

It made her feel like she was in a dream.

It wasn't until Maude's footsteps came close that Robin came back to his senses, and looked up at the uninterestingly rebellious man in front of him.

Maude glanced at the injury on Robin's chest, and said, "You are seriously injured."

Robin gave a wry smile, and struggled to take out the antidote, with a weak voice, and said: "This is an antidote, it can detoxify the scorpion venom in the straw hat boy."

Maude took the antidote and turned his head to look at Luffy who was unconscious.

It turned out to be scorpion venom...

Maude did not detoxify Luffy the first time, but looked at Robin in front of him and asked: "Are you begging to die?"

Robin lowered his eyes and was silent again.

And silence is the default.

Maude looked like Robin who was emptied of all his strength.

"For you now, it is easy to ask for death, but have you ever thought that once you die, the traces of O'Hara will be completely forgotten by the world, and then disappear into the long river of history that no one knows? ."

"you……"

Robin looked up sharply and looked directly at Maude.

Maude looked calm as water, and said lightly: "I have no interest in the historical truth eight hundred years ago, but no matter what, as long as it is lucky to survive the ‘fire’, it is often precious."

"As long as you live, you will definitely encounter good things."

"So, don't let yourself die too cheaply, Nicole Robin..."

With that said, Maude looked at the ancient text in the original historical text.

Robin lowered her head, her eyes trembled, revealing her uneasy mood.
