"Cooperation"

"Men, destroy that wrecked ship completely!"

At Arlong's command, the ship-dredging team, led by Kuroobi and others, jumped into the water.

Smoker stood aboard the White Hunter, frowning.

Given the enemy's ferocity, it's not surprising that they not only didn't flee from the navy but also dared to launch a preemptive attack.

After all, he's a great pirate who can fight Admiral Kizaru, so he must be extremely ferocious.

Only...

"Strange, those Fish-Man seem to be targeting your wrecked ship?"

Ma Qiao was completely baffled.

He was unaware of the historical background behind the small boat that Lieutenant Nezumi had obtained and modified through connections.

After thinking for a moment, Ma Qiao could only shrug and say, "These Fish-Man must be doing this to get revenge for Urpo D. Kuro. After all, that kid Twitch always likes to show his face in the newspapers. No matter how I try to persuade him, he won't listen. He just doesn't understand the importance of keeping a low profile. See, he got recognized right away, didn't he?"

Smoker glanced at the guy on the "Twitch" who was striking various flashy poses for reporters' photos, and nodded in approval.

It's not a bad thing for young people to like to show off, as long as they uphold justice, these minor details don't matter.

"Should we stop them?" Smoker suggested.

Although Arlong and his companions claimed to be a superior race, in reality, the Fish-Man- men were always at a disadvantage in terms of combat strength when facing countless skilled humans.

Such a simple trick as scutting a ship is not difficult for a well-trained naval elite to handle.

Ma Qiao shook his head. "This is a small matter; Twitch and the others will handle it themselves."

While Twitch, Garen, and others level up by spending money, participating in battles appropriately helps them quickly accumulate combat experience and improve team coordination.

The bot lane duo, in particular, needs to practice their synergy even more.

Under Wallace's flash, Twitch, crossbow in hand and quiver at his waist, leaped to the bow of the boat.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness from being pampered by his master:

Although my level is still lower than Garen's, I have already been given a weapon by my master!

Moreover, it's a far superior weapon to the Long Sword and Doran's Shield in the big guy's hand!

The world of One Piece has entered the age of firearms, with ranged weapons primarily consisting of Fire Pistol.

Although the lethality of Fire Pistol is highly questionable, there are indeed many skilled gun users in the world, such as Yasopp, Ben Beckman, Izo.

Ben Beckman even had a point in the war where he forced Kizaru to raise his hands with a pistol.

In short, crossbows are a very uncommon weapon in the world of One Piece.

According to the background information, Twitch's crossbow is an indispensable weapon for ADCs to counter tank heroes—[The Last Whisper].

However, as a Silver-ranked player, Ma Qiao is certainly not a fool who doesn't understand item builds.

Using a naked Whisper on an ADC would be incredibly stupid.

Therefore, the crossbow in the Nezumi's hand was just an ordinary one; his real equipment was the quiver at his waist—the [Noonquiver]!

The [Noonquiver] increases attack power and attack speed.

It also possesses the unique trait [Precision]: Attacks deal additional physical damage to minions and monsters!

Without a doubt, the combat power of these small-time Fish-Man who came diving was far below that of the cannon fodder in the Marineford Paramount War, and they were all classified as low-level soldiers.

Even the Fish-Man executives like Kuroobi and Chuo are too weak to be considered heroes, and they don't even qualify as super soldiers.

Of course, our own soldiers are also a bit weak these days.

Under Qiangsen's command, the Root Division soldiers raised their guns and fired at the Fish-Man.

Although the training level of the Root Division has improved significantly recently, it is still far behind the level of Smoker's elite troops.

In the original storyline, they were easily defeated by the Fish-Man under the command of Captain Nezumi.

This time the situation has improved slightly.

Under continuous fire, some Fish-Man floated up belly up, turning the seawater crimson.

However, most Fish-Man can dodge deadly bullets thanks to their agile swimming style and the protection of the water, only suffering non-fatal injuries to minor parts of their bodies.

Thick-skinned and resilient, they paid no heed to their injuries and continued their charge toward the Twitch.

However, soon, crossbow bolts pierced the air, their momentum undiminished as they sliced through the water, easily penetrating the Fish-Man's chests.

A level 3 Twitch, equipped with Noonquiver and Doran's Blade at his waist, can easily finish off a few creeps.

"Damn it, that officer is very strong!"

Kuroobi and Chuo exchanged a glance underwater and decided to sneak over and kill him.

Twitch as if he didn't see them, continuing to practice his last-hitting skills.

32 kills in 7 minutes, basically meeting the entry requirements for a Silver-level player.

Watching their companions being eliminated one by one and turned into dead fish, Kuroobi and Chuobi were furious.

Fortunately, the warship was finally within reach.

"Fish-Man Karate, Thousand Brick Fist!"

"Kiss of Water!"

The two Fish-Man simultaneously unleashed their ultimate attacks, targeting Twitch who was focused on last-hitting minions.

"Garen, if I miss a kill, it's all your fault!" Twitch didn't try to dodge at all, but instead routinely shifted the blame.

"Don't be afraid! I'm here!"

Garen's body shone with golden light, and a level 3 [Courage] Barrier instantly appeared around him, blocking all the attacks from the two Fish-Man officers.

Then, he swung his Long Sword heavily at the two of them.

Don't touch my artillery!

Twitch shouted hurriedly, "I just need you to block my attacks, not to kill me!"

As a seasoned support player, Garen wouldn't care about the ADC's pointless complaints.

With a Decisive Strike, he took Kuroobi's head.

Before Twitch could even unleash Zaun triple attack and curse Garen's family tree, he quickly raised his crossbow and fired at the remaining Kissing Fish-Man.

Despite being Fish-Man executive, Chu was hit by two arrows but still managed to move quickly, fleeing desperately in a panic.

"It's no use. Once I kill you, I can ask my master to upgrade me to level 6, haha!"

Twitch couldn't help but grin from ear to ear at the thought of his own insane, all-out attack.

Demacia!

Just as Twitch's third crossbow bolt was fired but had not yet hit its target, a dazzling light of justice suddenly descended from the sky.

Under this light, the kissing Fish-Man was instantly charred black, turning into a grilled fish.

"Garen! Your horse is gone!"

Twitch's heart-wrenching screams ripped through the sky.
