"Hey! No way?"
Zoro's face turned green as he watched the red laser beam rushing towards him.
No, don't try to make a high-tech laser gun look like an antique gun, okay?
Isn't that a bit too outrageous?
Zoro's current thought is that Beckman's cheating is somewhat obvious.
Exceeding the standard!
But now, faced with this situation, he has no choice but to go through with it.
With this in mind, Zoro didn't hesitate. He assumed a stance and slashed fiercely at the laser beam hurtling towards him...
On another battlefield.
"Roar!"
A huge White Tiger roared, and a rolling wave of sound continued to crash forward.
The wind rustled the robes of a figure in front of it.
Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the White Tiger not far away, Yasopp couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.
Usopp! I never knew you had such strength!
"Of course! I'm very strong!"
"Dad, if you don't go all out, things might get ugly later!"
"I'm really looking forward to it!"
A smile crept across Yasopp's face as he raised his gun, aimed at Usopp, and pulled the trigger.
The bullets, coated in Armament Haki, shot out instantly at incredible speed.
It formed a blue energy wave in the air, but in terms of power, it was slightly inferior to Beckman's.
"Roar!"
Seeing this, Usopp couldn't help but roar again, then immediately rushed forward and swung his claw down hard just before reaching the blue energy wave.
Golden, sharp energy coiled around its claws, radiating a chilling aura.
"Boom!"
The instant the two made contact, an incredibly powerful shockwave spread outwards.
"Broken!"
The stalemate didn't last long, Usopp uttered a soft sound.
Then, a strong golden light burst forth from its claws, instantly dispersing the blue energy wave.
The bullets were naturally knocked away as well.
Then, when he was about to rush towards the Yasopp again, he discovered that the Yasopp had disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, a faint voice sounded from behind him.
" Usopp! A good sniper doesn't stay in the same spot after an attack!"
Before he could finish speaking, Usopp sensed an extremely dangerous aura coming from behind him.
Without the slightest hesitation, Usopp slammed both paws down on the ground.
The next moment, a stream of azure energy rose from beneath him, forming a huge sphere that enveloped his entire body.
"Sizzle!"
The moment the blue hurricane formed a spherical shape, a black bullet struck it.
The collision generated intense Mars.
Usopp slowly turned around in the whirlwind, looking at Yasopp, whose face was filled with shock, not far away, and a feeling of pride welled up in his heart.
For him, making his father marvel at his abilities was what he wanted most, and it was also the goal he had always pursued.
It's finally been achieved.
"Hey! Dad, stop spacing out!"
"I'm going to make another move!"
While Yasopp was still reeling from the shock, Usopp spoke up.
Then the azure energy swirling around him began to swirl, and at the same time, Usopp spoke calmly:
" Ten Thousand Blades!"
As soon as he finished speaking, huge wind blades shot out from the swirling hurricane, flying rapidly towards Yasopp.
In the blink of an eye, countless wind blades filled the sky, creating a spectacular sight.
Feeling the oppressive force emanating from these wind blades, Yasopp twitched, and he muttered a curse under his breath:
"So you really mean it when you say you're going all out, huh?"
It sounded like he was scolding Usopp, but his tone was filled with joy and relief.
Nothing is more joyful than seeing your son grow up!
"In that case, I have to give it my all, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to lose to my son!"
Yasopp something, then quickly raised the gun in his hand and kept pulling the trigger, bullets shooting out of his chamber.
Yasopp's gun kept changing position, moving incredibly fast.
But at such high speed, every bullet he fired hit each wind blade with pinpoint accuracy.
This is the true value of the world's top snipers!
Each bullet generated a blue energy wave, and countless energy waves and wind blades collided in the air, unleashing powerful aftershocks...
While the Red Hair Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates were locked in a fierce battle, in a certain hall of the Holy Land Mary Geoise...
The Five Elders sat together, their faces all expressionless.
After a long pause, one person spoke first:
"We lost dozens of high-ranking agents in this operation to wipe out the remnants of Whitebeard's gang, and countless others perished!"
"This is a huge loss for us!"
"I think next time we're going to raid other pirate crews, we should notify the Navy first and have them weaken the pirates' fighting strength!"
The one who spoke was Saturn, and his tone carried a hint of heartache.
Of course it hurts! Thirty-odd high-ranking agents aren't just any ordinary person; they represent the very foundation of their World Government!
Such a huge loss at once!
The Divine Might Corps was completely wiped out on Onigashima, and now their World Government's power is unprecedentedly weak. Their overall strength is probably only slightly better than when the World Government was first established eight hundred years ago.
The problem is that even so, they still spare no effort to wipe out the pirate crews in the world.
Just a few days ago, their king gave them a very important order: to wipe out all the pirates in the world before he left the pass.
They were all shocked when they heard the news.
Because their World Government has always believed in the principle of balance, which is something all rulers would do!
Because he wanted to restrain the power of his subordinates and prevent them from becoming too powerful.
Just as they have never been too concerned about the proliferation of pirates, because pirates only affect ordinary people and have no impact on them at all.
Even pirates were part of their strategy to consolidate their rule.
After all, if there were no threat from pirates, why would the Affiliated Nation of the World Government willingly offer up Heavenly Tribute to seek their protection?
Without the threat of pirates, how would they control the common people at the bottom of society?
They had always done this before, maintaining a balance among all the powers at sea and preventing any one of them from becoming beyond their control.
However, this balance was broken after Xia Chen appeared.
Xia Chen's individual strength far surpasses theirs; he is no longer someone they can control.
Fortunately, Xia Chen didn't care much about them. As long as they didn't attack Xia Chen, Xia Chen generally wouldn't cause trouble.
Therefore, they have been able to maintain a balance at sea, keeping the ocean under their control!
