Chapter 685
(Chapter 189 Interests)
Van Augur trembled slightly when he saw Chen Fan's somewhat cold gaze, a gaze as if he were looking at a dead man. He suddenly lost the courage to admit it and took a small step back.
The Fighting Champion Burgess, laughed and said, "What's wrong with you, Van Augur? Just admit it! Weren't you just scouting his location? Ah...! Did you fire a shot? Did you kill anyone? They don't seem to be injured. Did you miss? How could that be? Was it intentional? Haha!"
"Shut up! You idiot!" Van Augur shouted at Burgess, looking at Chen Fan's face with fear. He didn't know where the fear came from. He couldn't even remember the number of people he had killed, but seeing Chen Fan with his own eyes, he suddenly regretted his rashness. Blackbeard had only told him to check on Chen Fan's movements, but he had decided to act on his own. His original idea was to kill someone and provoke Chen Fan to come over. Although he hadn't killed anyone, he had certainly achieved his goal of provoking Chen Fan luring him over.
"What's wrong?" Blackbeard also looked at Van Augur; his expression had been a little off just now. -460-
Chen Fan closed his eyes, took a breath, and said, "That shot was truly masterful, but unfortunately, your life ends here."
"Bang bang bang...!" Van Augur suddenly fired four shots in quick succession at the people around Chen Fan. The target wasn't Chen Fan, but the women around Chen Fan. The shots were accurate and ruthless, all aimed at Nami and the others' foreheads.
"Van Aucker, you dared to make a move without our permission! You should have told us before you attacked!" The others were also preparing to make their move;
Fighting Champion Burgess even uprooted a nearby house, and everyone else fled in terror, screaming.
Chen Fan's figure shifted, and all the bullets that Van Augur had just fired were caught in Chen Fan's palm. Then, when he opened his palm, the bullets clattered and fell to the ground.
"This is fake, isn't it!" Burgess exclaimed, his eyes wide.
Van Augur immediately ducked into a nearby house and fled into the distance. As a sniper, long-range sniping was the best option; he hadn't forgotten his role. Unfortunately, all of this was in vain. In Chen Fan's eyes, Van Augur was the biggest threat in the Blackbeard Pirates, not to Chen Fan himself. If it were Chen Fan could drive Van Augur to despair and commit suicide, but Nami and the others weren't immune to bullets.
Despite Van Oka's maneuvering through the building, Chen Fan saw no chance of escape. Pointing in one direction, Chen Fan slowly uttered, "Shigan!"
"Whoosh..." A shockwave shot out from Chen Fan's hand. Van Augur had just emerged from the gap between the buildings when he sensed the danger, but it was too late to react.
"Puff...!"
Van Oka had a hole in his forehead, his eyes wide open as if he couldn't believe he was dead, but his increasingly blurred consciousness told him it was real;
The sickly-looking Doc Q, the Blackbeard Pirates' ship's doctor who had always been riding a horse, no longer had that smug, sickly demeanor. His horse suddenly became strong and powerful, rushing towards Van Augur in an attempt to save him.
"Whoosh..."
"Boom...!" Chen Fan drew his twin swords from his waist and swung them in Doc Q's path, unleashing a massive slash that cleaved houses in two. Doc Q quickly pulled back his horse, narrowly avoiding being cleaved in two by Chen Fan's attack. A huge, bottomless chasm appeared in the ground.
Doc Q was so frightened that sweat poured down his forehead. He slowly turned his gaze to Chen Fan, wanting to take a serious look at this man.
"Ahh...!"
Burgess was stunned. He hadn't expected Chen Fan to take down one of their men in an instant. The slash of the knife left Doc Q completely immobilized. Burgess threw the house he was holding at Chen Fan and his group, then quickly prepared to demolish another house.
"Whoosh...!"
Chen Fan swung his knife again, slicing the house in two. "Boom...!" The two halves of the house crashed into other houses, causing them to collapse and shatter with a loud noise. Seeing Burgess lift up another house, Chen Fan frowned. This guy really wasn't going to stop. He stomped his foot...
"...!"
"Boom...!" The ground beneath Chen Fan's feet shattered like a spider web. "Bang...!" All the houses in the town collapsed in an instant, as if it were the end of the world, raising a cloud of smoke. The people in the town all ran out to take refuge. Great Pirate with a bounty of 500 million, his battles were earth-shattering.
"Whoosh..." A gust of wind blew by, and the only intact structure in the entire town was the house that Burgess was holding. Burgess, now resembling Doc Q, had beads of sweat constantly dripping from his forehead, and a look of fear on his face as he said to Blackbeard, "Captain, it seems we've gotten ourselves into big trouble!"
Blackbeard's face was also extremely grim. He was arrogant, but he wasn't stupid. This time, he sensed something was amiss, just as Burgess had predicted. He had acted rashly, deciding to attack Chen Fan without properly investigating Chen Fan strength. Becoming Shichibukai, releasing the Jail, and building his powerful Blackbeard Pirates —everything was perfect. How could things suddenly go wrong? A pirate with a 500 million bounty on his head—the Navy wasn't joking. However, he still had a chance. Chen Fan's attack was definitely the power of Devil Fruit, and it resembled Whitebeard's, seemingly possessing a powerful vibration. Having spent 20 years on Whitebeard's ship, he understood Whitebeard's Devil Fruit and had always wanted one. But Chen Fan 'Whitebeard Devil Fruit seemed quite impressive as well.
Blackbeard quickly burst into laughter, opened one arm to Chen Fan, and said, "Not bad! Not bad at all! As expected of Great Pirate of 500 million Beli from the Navy Headquarters. How about joining our Blackbeard Pirates? I'll give you the position of vice-captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, and we'll join forces to dominate the world!"
Chen Fan looked at Blackbeard with a smile and said, "Are you an idiot? Why are you still saying these things at a time like this? Blackbeard, I'm very interested in your Darkness Fruit, but I'm not interested in you. Are you secretly hoping for the power of my Devil Fruit?"
