The Inescapable Net

The last attack on Mary Geoise, orchestrated single-handedly by Maud, had jolted the arrogant World Government wide awake.

Since then, the city's security level had been raised to its highest.

The enormous commotion in the Social Plaza was naturally detected by the guards within the city at once.

Including all the frontline CP0 fighters stationed in Pangu City, everyone rushed toward the Social Plaza at top speed.

Within the range of Maud's Observation Haki, he could clearly "see" the auras approaching from all directions.

There were too many to count, some strong and some weak.

The powerful ones were as conspicuous as bright moons, but there were few enough to count on one hand.

The weak ones were like stars scattered across the night sky, densely packed and still quite intimidating.

In any case, given the size of Maud's group, if they did not leave quickly, they would be unable to escape once all the forces in Pangu City surrounded them.

"Karas, we can go."

Having assessed the situation, Maud looked directly at Karas, who was even more taciturn than Jim.

At Maud's words, a deep, unintelligible sound came from beneath Karas's crow-beak mask.

As soon as he finished speaking, Karas seemed to realize that his mumbled words were impossible to understand, so he instead nodded at Maud.

Then, under Maud's gaze, Karas spread his arms.

Black feathers instantly appeared across the black coat draped over him.

"Crows."

Karas's extremely low voice became unintelligible again after passing through the crow-beak mask.

As his voice fell, the black feathers that seemed attached to his coat suddenly transformed into countless completely black crows.

Each feather became a crow.

In just a few seconds, hundreds or even thousands of crows flew from Karas's body, spiraling through the air like a vortex.

"Hurry."

Maud
