HxH in One Piece World - Chapter 42

Chapter 42 Madwoman

The situation is getting worse and worse.

Seeing Katzt and Abe who were about to fight, the pirates in the tavern who had nothing to do with the matter couldn’t sit still.

They left deliberately, but they could only look through the gate blocked by the members of the Bull Pirate Group.

The gate was blocked, and I couldn’t go if I wanted to.

Can’t you shout to make Katzt and others who are obviously on the verge of an outbreak make it?

It’s not impossible to do that, the question is who is in the first place?

As for the other exit, which is the back kitchen aisle on the side of the counter, there should be a back door to go out.

However, if you want to go there, you will inevitably pass through the intersection point of sight between Katzt and Abe.

So, here comes the problem again.

Who will come out?

No one wants to, so they can only retreat to the wall as much as possible, so as not to be affected.

If there is no chance to leave through the gate or the back door, there is only one way to break the wall.

Although the wall of the tavern is harder than ordinary wood, it is wood after all, so it is not difficult to break the wall.

Coincidentally, Maude’s thinking stance is exactly the same as these pirates, and he has no consciousness of being the initiator.

Breaking through the wall was also one of the retreats he thought about.

As for the back kitchen aisle closer, he had no plans.

It was not that he was worried that he would accidentally injure the people in the Tomahawk Tavern, but that he would be troubled by the people behind Mad Hatter Town afterwards.

“Fighting?”

While guarding against Abe, Maude glanced at the Katzt group in front of the door and a dozen strong pirates who came with Abe from the corner of his eyes.

Compared to Katzt in a rage, Maude felt that Abe was more dangerous in front of him.

The sword that stabbed over without warning just now gave him a better understanding of Abe’s cruelty.

It is also compelling to use this abnormality to block the gun.

Abe smiled and stared at Maude like a flower, as if he could detect Maude’s thoughts at the moment.

Although he was smiling, his eyes were full of cold killing intent.

She turned her back to Katzt and the others, holding the foil in her right hand, and slowly raising her left hand, snapping her fingers suddenly.

The crisp sound was unusually noticeable at this time.

With this squeaking finger, her dozen or so subordinates suddenly drew a long knife, ignoring the skunk hiding under the table, and directly moved closer to Abe.

At this time, a pet is not worth their distraction.

As for the people on Katzt’s side, as early as when Katzt entered the animalized state, they had already revealed their weapons one after another.

Several people headed by Wells, the leader of the Bull Pirate Group, even more unceremoniously raised their guns and aimed them at Abe’s group.

Basically, every pirate group will be equipped with members who are proficient in gun skills, and the Bull Pirate Group is no exception.

On the other hand, the people Abe brought over were not equipped with guns, and all of them were mainly cold weapons.

In this environment, Bull Pirates have an advantage over the Abe group in terms of numbers and weaponry.

The tense situation is like a taut rubber band, which is about to stretch to its limit.

The battle is on the verge of breaking out.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wolf Rat suddenly put away his emotions.

In this calm atmosphere before the storm, he didn’t want to attract the attention of the two groups because he was crying too professionally.

He quietly moved closer to where Maude was.

The distance control is very subtle, it will not step into Abe’s attack range, and it will not be too far away from Morde.

This distance ensures that he can rescue Maude at any time.

“Oh, why do I have to do this.”

Wolf Rat was unwilling and helpless.

I cried, if Maude didn’t escape the catastrophe.

Then he not only cried for nothing, but also got into trouble without knowing it.

Therefore, even if it was as uncomfortable as eating shit at the moment, he had to endure the nausea and assist Maude’s plan to get out of trouble.

Everything is to complete the task as soon as possible!

He told himself like this.

Maude didn’t have the time to understand the “goodwill” of Wolf Rat at this time. After Abe finished snapping his fingers, he didn’t even have the energy to pay attention to the Katzt group.

Because, Maude discovered that even though the Katzt group had put pressure on Abe, Abe ignored it, and only saw himself in his eyes.

“Sister Abe, there is no point in keeping your eyes on me like this. It will only make your men die faster.”

Maude’s reminder hits the point.

“I think so too, Brother Usopp.”

Abe smiled more and more charmingly, and his sword-holding arm swelled slightly.

“But who told you to tease me?”

Before the voice was over, Abe stepped forward, the foil in his hand turned into streamer, and struck Maud again.

The slender blade cut through the air and shook with a buzzing sound.

Sword streamer was divided into three, pointing to Maude’s throat, chest cavity, and lower body.

“This crazy woman…”

A sense of oppression followed the sword’s light, Maude’s face changed slightly, and he looked sideways, trying to avoid the sharp point of the sword.

Three-way Jianmang passed by, so fast that only the afterimages could be seen.

Shit!

There was a gap in Maude’s clothing on his chest and belly button almost at the same time.

If you go deeper, you will definitely see blood.

Maintaining the sideways posture when dodging the sword attack, Maude took out the flintlock and shot Abe’s face that was close at hand without hesitation.

boom!

The lead bullet shot Abe’s face straight from the gunpowder smoke.

However, it was hit on the afterimage.

The lead bullet passed through the afterimage and hit a hapless pirate.

Abe’s speed surprised Maude.

In a place like West Sea, Abe, who can be worthy of a 38 million bounty, truly lives up to its name.

Realizing that with his current strength, he couldn’t get a favor from Abe, Maude decisively changed his mind, and while retreating backwards, he put the flintlock away.

Another flintlock filled with bullets, he will not use it lightly.

Next, he ignored other threats, ready to do his best to focus on defense.

As long as Abe is restrained, then Abe’s men will definitely be wiped out by Katzt and his gang in a short time.

The longer the time is, the more disadvantaged Abe will be.

At that time, even if Katzt discerned anything from the situation where Abe would kill himself at the expense of his subordinates, he would definitely kill Abe without stopping.

He had to force Abe to give up attacking himself.

Between the electric light and flint, Maude has a clear mind, and his concentration on Abe has increased to the extreme.

[Heart Drop Listening]

As the concentration increased, Maude used a technique similar to Observation Haki effect.

His eyes were locked on Abe.

The flow of killing intent, the vibration of the limbs, the trajectory of the sword strike.

All the information was condensed by Maude in an instant.

Just as Abe had only Maude in his eyes, Maude at this moment had only Abe and a sword in his eyes.

He can only do this.

Because, the prerequisite for enabling [Heart Drop Listening] is to gather all your minds on a single goal.

Abe is keenly aware of something.

For a moment, there was an illusion that she seemed to be blinded by Maude.

But she didn’t think much about it, and drove the foil to use three consecutive stabbings of [Mingyin San Die] towards Maude.

The ability to stab high-speed combos without end is her real killer.

In order to get rid of Maude as soon as possible, she did not slack in the slightest.

The violent and stormy sword power immediately enveloped Maude.

However, Maude moved back and forth in the sword, avoiding every sword that Abe stabbed.

In just a few seconds.

Abe’s more than a dozen sword strikes failed.

Her face changed.

Not far away, Wolf Rat looked shocked.

He was always ready to support Maude, but he didn’t expect Abe’s sword to be fast and sharp.

So I can only watch the sword woven by Abe cover Maude.

At that moment, Wolf Rat seemed to foresee the end of Maude’s going to be pierced with holes.

However, what appeared in front of him was the situation where Maude was able to deal with the sword force freely.

“Paper, paper Art? No, not paper art…!”

“And this bastard has hidden his strength!”

The thought of deliberately approaching this kind of guy.

When Wolf Rat was shocked, there was an inexplicable chill in his heart.

He is obviously in the dark, why does he feel this way?
