"Transaction" Begins

"Rain" Shiryu, the Tyrant King Pizarro, the Crescent Moon Hunter Catarina Devon, and Big Eater Vasco Shot.

As for the Colossal Battleship Sanjuan Wolf, whose body was far too massive, even the shadow cast by that bit of wall could not hide him.

He raised an enormous broken ship plank over his head, barely covering himself in shadow.

They had originally been lying in wait here, either to receive their captain or seize an opportunity to act.

But their captain's fruit being taken had caught them completely off guard.

Worse still, Shiryu and the others had no shadows and could not expose themselves to sunlight.

They were now like fierce beasts trapped in cages, possessing strength but unable to use it.

Van Augur reacted the fastest.

This place had become a den of trouble. They absolutely could not linger.

They had to retreat immediately.

Without hesitation, he raised the long rifle Senriku in his hands and aimed it at Lafitte beside him.

"Van Augur, you—?" Lafitte looked at him in shock.

Bang!

The distinctive gunshot was not the sound of a bullet firing, but a spatial fluctuation.

Teleport-Teleport Fruit: Target Transfer!

Lafitte's figure was instantly swallowed by a mass of distorted spatial ripples.

The next moment, he vanished from where he stood, teleported to some corner of the battlefield—or perhaps somewhere even farther away.

Van Augur did not stop moving, swiftly turning his muzzle toward his next target—Burgess.

"Your fruit ability isn't bad. I'll take it."

Van Augur was horrified.

As a sniper, he was not skilled at close-quarters combat.

Instinctively, he tried to retreat and widen the distance while raising his gun again
