Yasopp's Death!

"As expected, the monster's minions are all monsters too!" Yasopp looked at the huge meteorite burning in the sky and felt helpless.

This kind of celestial attack is the nemesis of snipers like him. He is confident that he can pierce through the entire meteorite with one shot, but what use is that?

Given the meteorite's enormous size, a bullet hole the size of a fingernail is almost negligible.

In his grief and anger, Yasopp had no choice but to jump into the sea and swim as far as he could into the deep ocean.

"His Observation Haki, his gravity can distort bullet trajectories, and his attacks are impossible to defend against. This guy is simply the bane of all snipers!" Yasopp realized that Augustine, whose fame among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse was far less than Enel's, posed a far greater threat to their Red Hair Pirates than the other three. After all, among the Four Emperors, the one in their Red Hair Pirates who liked to use firearms was arguably the most skilled.

"But this is good too. No matter how strong his Observation Haki, it will be difficult for him to pinpoint my exact location in the sea. Right now, I am in the dark while he is in the light. As long as I surface discreetly, I may be able to deliver a fatal blow to him."

Boom!

The meteorite crashed into the sea, triggering a massive tsunami. Waves hundreds of meters high surged and rolled, and orange flames instantly illuminated the entire seabed. Once the meteorite was completely submerged in the sea, the flames extinguished, and the seabed returned to silence and darkness, like a dark night sky, so quiet it was somewhat frightening.

Yes, Yasopp was terrified at that moment; his hands and feet were ice-cold, and the chill emanating from his body was even colder than the seawater.

Because, in the instant the flames illuminated the seabed, he discovered that beneath this area lay the nest of Giant Sea Kings!

He saw countless Giant Sea Kings silently lurking in the dark seabed, their greedy eyes fixed on the surface, as if waiting for a gluttonous feast.

No, that's not right, this is definitely not a so-called Sea Kings's nest.

Unlike ordinary Sea Kings, each Giant Sea Kings can be called the overlord of the deep sea. The amount of food they consume every day is astronomical. Even the most abundant sea area cannot support the nest of a Giant Sea Kings.

Moreover, as the overlords of the sea, they are by no means good-tempered. The terrifying fluctuations on the sea surface should have attracted them to unleash their destructive desires long ago.

They are restraining their desires and their instincts.

They are being controlled by people.

Who has this ability?

A figure flashed through Yasopp's mind: Nightmare Roy!

Although he didn't know how Nightmare did it, his intuition told him that only that monster in the eyes of countless people could do it.

This is a power capable of overturning the entire world, but Nightmare has been holding back. What exactly is he plotting?

Yasopp felt like he was caught in a terrifying vortex, where one wrong step could lead to his destruction. He had never felt so afraid before.

To Yasopp's horrified gaze, the Giant Sea Kings on the seabed moved. Seemingly afraid of disturbing the battle on the surface, they swam slowly, but given their terrifying size, even at their slowest pace, the distance to the surface was rapidly shrinking.

"No, I can't die. Even if I have to die, I must expose the Nightmare's conspiracy and warn Shanks to be careful." Yasopp had no intention of fighting. Not to mention that a sniper like him was no different from a piece of trash underwater, even on land, he wouldn't dare to provoke such a terrifying monster.

"Hurry, hurry, faster!" Yasopp was now filled with regret, regretting that he had gone too deep to avoid the aftershocks of the meteorite, and regretting that he hadn't noticed the clues sooner.

At the same time, Yasopp was also struck by the fact for the first time why time seemed to flow so slowly; those few seconds felt like an eternity.

Closer, closer...

The bright light had dispelled the darkness, and the turbulent sea seemed almost within reach...

Yasopp's emotions were in turmoil. He couldn't help but look back and found himself in complete darkness, as if he were standing right at the boundary between light and darkness.

"It seems they can't catch up, but why do I faintly smell a putrid odor? Is it just my imagination?"

Yasopp sigh of relief, but was also somewhat doubtful. He quickly gave up guessing and swam forward swiftly and powerfully again, only to find to his horror that... the area ahead had been shrouded in darkness.

In the dark depths of the sea, a Giant Sea Kings gently closed its gaping maw and swam contentedly toward the seabed.

The entire sea area has been affected by the battle. First, the entire Phantom Sword Pirates and Red Hair Pirates joined the fight, followed by the Big Mom Pirate Crew and the Beasts Pirates. The Donquixote Family and the Fish-Man Pirates slaughtered their way through the area, and the forces of the Underworld also poured in, becoming the final straw that broke the camel's back for the Red Hair Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.

Although the battle situation is not yet fully clear, anyone with a little insight can see that Red Hair has lost. Unless a miracle like the Edd War occurs, the Red Hair Pirates will likely be removed from the ranks of the Four Emperors after today.

It was precisely because the battle intensified that the lives swallowed by the sea did not cause any ripples, and no one knew about the horrific scene unfolding beneath the surface.

Roy's almost devastating attack was ultimately blocked, not because Red Hair suddenly went into overdrive, but because Scopper Gaban chose to take drugs.

Alabasta has its Energy Steroids, and the Ryugu Kingdom has its deadly drugs. It's not surprising that Scopper Gaban, as the de facto third-ranking member of the Roger Pirates, possesses such Forbidden Medicine.

"Senior Gaban, are you crazy? You'll die if you do this!" Seeing Scopper Gaban stuffing handfuls of Forbidden Medicine into his mouth as if he were eating snacks, Red Hair quickly stopped him, clutching his chest wound.

"We won't die!" Scopper Gaban's face beamed with a confident smile and a hopeful anticipation. "Have you forgotten what Roger said? As long as our own will continues to be passed down, we will never die."

"Alright, Gaban, let me take the rest of the Forbidden Medicine. I'm stronger than you, and I can unleash even greater power if I take the Forbidden Medicine." Red Hair said, reaching out to snatch the drug bottle from Scopper Gaban's hand.

To everyone's surprise, Scopper Gaban's condition after taking the Forbidden Medicine was far superior to that of the heavily injured Red Hair. He easily dodged Red Hair's attack, laughed loudly, tilted his head back, and poured the entire Forbidden Medicine into his mouth.

"Let us old guys do the risking our lives. You're the captain's beacon of hope that breaks through the darkness!"

"A beacon of hope? What right do I, someone destined to fall into darkness from birth, have to bear that title? I am..."

"Hahaha, do you think the captain doesn't know about this?" Scopper Gaban laughed heartily. "There is no such thing as dirty blood in the world, only noble souls. Besides, pirates are the freest people in the world. True pirates are not bound by such things!"
