The Scourge of Pirates

Chapter 168 Observation is for learning (third update, 110)

squeak--!

The blade named Cat's Claw slashed the iron gate of the fence, and then pointed directly at Maude's throat.

Maude took two steps back at the right time, easily avoiding the ultimate move.

Afterwards, the iron gate of the fence that was cut off by the cat's claws crashed to the ground, and the sound it made suddenly attracted the attention of everyone in the mansion.

A middle-aged couple led more than a dozen servants out of the mansion and looked at Klo, who was wearing a murder weapon at the gate, in amazement.

How is this going?

Even if he didn't hear the sound, Crowe could feel the startled gaze coming from behind.

He ignored it, but looked at Maude coldly.

"Thanks to you, the people behind will not survive today."

"is it."

Maude smiled softly.

That inadvertent attitude made Crowe's eyes more murderous.

Silent steps!

Crowe's body shook slightly, and his figure suddenly disappeared in silence.

"It's used."

Red light appeared in Maude's eyes, and with the blessing of seeing and hearing, he could see Chloe's movements clearly.

"Behind me..."

Mo Dehu turned back and kicked out.

He just kicked his foot out, and Crowe just showed his figure.

Boom!

This kick hits Crowe's abdominal cavity directly.

Ke Luoru was hit hard, his body bent upside down like dried shrimps, fell on the ground and rolled several times before stopping.

"This person...puff!"

Crowe's heart was shocked, and when he straightened his upper body, he couldn't help but spit out a big mouthful of blood on the ground.

In order to prevent Maude from taking advantage of the attack, Crowe endured the pain and got up quickly.

however,

Maude neither drew a knife nor made a heavy move, nor did he take advantage of the victory to pursue it.

Otherwise, as long as he wraps the armed color on the foot just now, it will be enough to end the battle.

"carry on."

Maude smiled and looked at Crowe who was embarrassed.

He wanted to observe the silent footwork several times.

Strictly speaking, as far as momentum is concerned, that footwork is more powerful than the six-style shave.

Not only can the sound be compressed to a level that is almost silent, but also the speed of the instant burst can be guaranteed.

To talk about the shortcomings, that is, the upper limit is worse than shaving.

After all, you have to take into account the sound problem, so the explosive power is definitely not strong.

But in contrast, the difficulty of using silent footwork is more focused on technique rather than the convenience of overbearing physique.

"Are you...humiliating me?"

Crowe didn't know what Maude was thinking, the murderous intent on his face was as real as it was.

"Whatever you think."

Maude wrote lightly.

Crowe didn't say much any more, and his figure disappeared in a flash.

In the air, there was a faint sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air.

Maude turned sideways, easily avoiding Krona's murderous attack.

At the same time, there were several cut marks on the surrounding ground inexplicably, and Crowe did not show his figure, but the sound transmitted in the air became more obvious.

"It's speeding up, the offensive is indeed a lot stronger, but..."

Maude made a sudden leap, and once again easily avoided Crowe's shadowless attack.

"While speeding up, the suppression of sound is obviously not as good as before."

"In this way, the threat is reduced."

"Well, it turned out to be pushed with toes, like water drops on the surface. No wonder the movement is so soft."

"Only by doing this can the sound be minimized..."

"It's a pity, in order to strengthen the offensive, it's a bit of abandoning everything."

Maude watched attentively the footwork used by Crowe.

The silent footwork used by using toes to step on the ground at high speed is truly amazing.

But afterwards, the principle of using the sole of the foot on the ground to speed up, there is a sense of seeing when you are using a shave.

In contrast, Maude prefers silent footwork.

After the observation is almost done, it is time to end the hunt.

Maude listened to the frequent breaking sound from the surrounding air, and a ray of killing intent appeared in his eyes.

"It's almost there. Although I don't know if I can learn it yet, thank you, Captain Crowe."

After speaking, Maude suddenly leaned out his arm-wrapped palm to his side, and pinched the neck of Crowe, who was moving at high speed.

Suddenly, Crowe showed his figure, and the noisy voice around him suddenly disappeared.

Being pinched by his neck with one hand, Cloe's eyes shrank, and his gaze at Maude was full of shock.

He heard what Maude had just said.

At this time, he understood the reason why Maude had not shot.

To learn my... silent steps?

Click!

Maude broke Crowe's neck simply.

Crowe's face froze, and the luster in his eyes quickly dimmed.

Maude let go, letting Crowe's body fall to the ground.

"Crabatel!!!"

An anxious male voice came from the courtyard of the mansion.

A slightly fattened middle-aged man hurriedly walked over.

A dozen people followed him, mostly servants in the mansion.

This middle-aged man is Keya's father, and the one who took care of Crowe when he was kind.

"Why do you want to kill Krabatel!"

Looking at Crowe's body, the middle-aged man glared at Maude.

Among the servants who followed him, several bodyguards had already pulled out flintlocks.

Maude had already prepared, took out Crowe's reward order from the coat, and turned his face to the crowd.

"The Krabatel you know is actually the captain of the notorious Black Cat Pirates, Chloe, and I am the Navy Captain Wolf Rat. Taking your personal safety into consideration, I made this decision."

"How, how..."

The crowd looked at the reward order in shock.

After understanding it, they felt chills at the thought that they had been with a brutal pirate day and night for a year.

"If you offend, please forgive me. I have to take the corpse back to my life, so I won't bother too much."

Maude left a reward order, and then brought up Crowe's corpse, as if he wanted to return to life as soon as possible, he turned and left.

"Wait a minute, I don't know how to thank you!"

The middle-aged man came back to his senses, and hurriedly called out to keep Maude, because he was in a hurry, he didn't even notice that he used the honorific name.

"No thanks, this is my duty as a navy."

Maude left a word, and then accelerated the pace of leaving.

Everyone looked at Maude's leaving figure, their faces could not help being filled with admiration.

"It's a great fortune that the East China Sea has such a powerful young navy!"

The middle-aged man sighed heartily.

Maude was already walking away and did not hear the middle-aged man.

He carried Crowe's body past a big tree by the road.

Usopp, holding a telescope, walked out from behind the tree and looked carefully at Modetti's body in his hands.

Maude glanced at Usopp and asked, "What do you think of the battle just now?"

"Uh, that, I didn't see clearly..."

Usopp touched the back of his head awkwardly.

"I am asking how you feel, not if you have seen it clearly."

"Well, this guy suddenly disappeared out of thin air just now, he was shocked, and he gave me the feeling that he was strong like a monster, but you are better, hehe!"

"That's a footwork, you can do it in the future as long as you work hard."

Maude looked ahead.

I deliberately left my hands to observe the footwork used by Klow, not just for insight, but to learn this skill.

Before Lafayette and the others came back, they would teach Usopp while trying to practice their silent footwork.

Hearing Maude's words, Usopp became excited again, wishing to start training now.

However, he didn't know that Maude would only stay here for about twenty days.
