The black shadow moved incredibly fast, like a tiger shark cutting through the water.
Su Xiao's pupils narrowed slightly. Through his goggles, he determined that it was not a shark, but a human wearing a diving suit.
The other party wore diving equipment on his head, and the black wetsuit covered him completely. In terms of underwater speed alone, Su Xiao was less than half as fast as him.
Firearms lost much of their power underwater. Dragon Slayer Flash appeared in Su Xiao's hand. Judging by the other party's intentions, there was an eighty-to-ninety percent chance he had come for Su Xiao—in other words, he was very likely a contractor from Big Mom's faction.
Anyone could figure out with their eyes closed that the other party's goal was the same as Su Xiao's: sabotage the ships underwater.
If the other party had not come looking for him, Su Xiao would not have bothered with him. Unfortunately, this guy seemed to have the intention of killing Su Xiao, and the drop rate for Crimson Cards in an open world was not low.
Splash~
The black shadow swept past, sending the surrounding water surging.
Su Xiao held his sword without moving. While waiting for the other party to attack, he kept his body upright.
With a whoosh, a slender harpoon shot toward Su Xiao. He caught it with his bare hand. This thing was not very fast.
The moment Su Xiao caught the harpoon, its tail sprang open. Just as he was about to throw it away, a girl's voice came through.
"I mean no harm. You're that 'hope of the third tier,' right? Let's not interfere with each other. Muah."
Amid a string of silver-bell-like laughter, the harpoon in Su Xiao's hand shattered. It was a recording from the black shadow.
