Chapter 89: Sniper
In Raven Harbor, on the top floor of the city lord's mansion
A man over three meters tall and wearing a black cloak slowly put down the exaggerated gun in his hand and frowned slightly: "Ahhhh."
"Is this the fate of that bullet?"
While the man was speaking, several guards came up and said respectfully: "Augur-sama, is it resolved?"
"What? Of course not!"
The man drooped his eyelids, glanced at the two guards, and said calmly: "I'd like to tell your lord that the opponents are far more troublesome than expected. If we are not mistaken, one of the pirates should be a Zoan fruit user."
"Looking at their route, they should be heading here!"
"A devil fruit user?"
Several guards were stunned.
Then, they remembered the powerful abilities that lord Gaza gained after eating the Devil Fruit.
For a moment, fear appeared on the faces of the guards.
"Even you can't handle it?"
"No, I mean... It costs extra money!"
A few minutes later.
Gaza heard what Van Augur said, and even with her temper, she couldn't hold back and exploded on the spot: "Money! Money! Money!"
"I've employed him for less than half a month, and he's already raised the price several times? He's really taking advantage of me!"
After letting out her anger, Gaza slowly calmed down.
In the previous war, most of the guards of Raven Harbor were killed or wounded, and they almost completely lost their combat effectiveness.
The White Knight Pirate can be relied upon for protection at sea, but these guards still have to be relied upon to maintain basic order in the harbor.
So naturally, Gaza started a new round of conscription, and it was at that time that Van Augur was discovered.
With his superb marksmanship, he can hit targets every time, even from thousands of meters away. Such a sharpshooter is hard currency wherever he is.
Therefore, even though the price was a bit high, Gaza accepted it reluctantly.
But in this situation, does this bastard really think of herself as an atm?
"Miss."
Jasmine reminded from the side:
"The other party was able to bypass the surveillance route set up by White Knight Pirate and advance all the way here. I'm afraid their strength is not that simple."
"Van Augur may also be reminding you."
Gaza took a deep breath. Her complexion returned to normal, and she began to make arrangements: "Pala island is a bit far from here. Mr. Gawain may not be able to get here in a short time. Let's notify the Nyaban Brothers first."
"Also, alert the guards in the harbor. Once the enemy enters the attack range, open fire immediately!"
"Yes!"
When Gaza's order spread in Raven Harbor, a pirate ship with a lizard skull flag slowly came into view on the distant sea level.
The guards in the harbor started a round of artillery fire without any explanation.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Red meteors fell from the sky, and several shells directly hit the deck, but they only left a trace of black marks on the ship.
The guards in the harbor finally realized at this moment that these weak shells were simply unable to resist the invasion of the pirates.
A few minutes later.
Two figures jumped up from the deck of the pirate ship, crossed a distance of nearly 100 meters, and landed steadily in the harbor.
Boom!
The powerful impact completely cracked the floor, and spider-web-like cracks spread several meters in all directions.
Everyone in the harbor scattered instantly.
Only a few guards bravely stayed where they were, watching the scene in front of them with trembling eyes.
But when the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, what appeared before everyone's eyes were two monsters that looked like both humans and cats.
"Lion and cheetah?"
As the guards were puzzled, Lache, who had transformed into a human-beast form, raised a sinister smile: "It's an Ocelot and a Maine Coon!"
After saying that, Lache's figure flashed and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The next moment, a scream was heard from the crowd.
When everyone looked back, they were shocked to find that a guard had been ripped open by Lache's sharp claws. After struggling weakly for a few times, he breathed his last.
Lache licked the blood from his fingertips, his eyes ferocious and terrifying: "The sweetness is mixed with a hint of iron; it's such an intoxicating smell!"
The guards were frightened out of their wits on the spot. Some of them even felt a warmth between their legs.
Even though their bodies were shaking uncontrollably, they still held their weapons tightly in their hands and faced the enemy in front of them.
It's because there are people they want to protect in the harbor behind them.
Seeing this, Lache's grim smile widened.
He arched his back slightly like a cat and rushed out like lightning but stopped in the next moment…
Bang!
A bullet passed accurately in front of Lache and penetrated the wall, just a few millimeters away from hitting his chest.
Lache turned his head and saw only a series of transparent holes.
Only then did he realize that this bullet had completely penetrated an entire row of walls.
If it fell on him, even with the ability of the Zoan fruit, he's afraid it would tear off a large piece of flesh.
"Interesting!"
Lache licked his lips and turned to look at where the bullet came from and saw a black figure jumping down from a tall building.
"It seems that he was the one who attacked me before."
Lache waved to Labu beside him: "I'm going to chase the sniper. I'll leave these small fries in the harbor to you."
After saying this, without waiting for Labu to react, Lache turned into an ocelot, took a step forward, and galloped towards Van Augur in the distance.
"What a bloodthirsty fellow."
Labu shook his head, then looked at the guards who were gradually gathering around him, with a grim smile on his face, and said:
"Can you tell me where that woman named Gaza is? She stole our thing, a very important thing."
The guards were silent for a while.
Although they were afraid, they held their weapons tightly and did not retreat.
Many of them are survivors of the previous battle and have long regarded Gaza as the person they respect the most. How could they retreat at this moment?
"Is that so?!"
"That's such a pity!"
As Labu's voice fell, the pirate ship in the distance finally arrived at the harbor.
Hundreds of people jumped off the deck and rushed into the crowd.
A fight broke out in an instant when they met.
Amidst the flash of swords and sabers, Labu fought off several guards who blocked his way and slowly walked deeper.
With Maine Coon's eyesight, he could clearly see that a beautiful woman was hurrying here with two pirates dressed like cats.
"Look, isn't the target coming?!"
... ... ...
Nightfall.
A thin layer of fog gradually gathered on Pala Island.
There is a chill in the air.
Gawain, however, sat at his desk with a gloomy face, holding the receiver of the Den Den Mushi in one hand and listening to the intermittent voice from the other end.
"You mean a group of blind pirates attacked Raven Harbor, injured the Nyaban Brothers and Jango, and even stole Gaza and the devil fruit she was going to give me?!"
At this moment, anyone could hear the uncontrollable rage in Gawain's voice, but the man on the other end of the Den Den Mushi seemed to be completely unaware of it and just said calmly: "Ah, that's about it."
"This is fate!"
"By the way, if I die, could you please help me send the money from this mission back to my hometown?"
Gawain was slightly stunned and asked:
"May I have your name?"
"Augur!"
Van Augur added: "Oh, remember, it's three times, no, five times the reward!"
