Pirate: This shooter is a bit fierce

“In a story passed down from generation to generation among our Bakanian people, a freedom fighter named Nika was prophesied...

He will appear to the beat of an amusing drum, fight against all the injustices in the world, and lead people to freedom and happiness..."

Under the starry sky, the Mermaid Anthem was floating alone on the dark sea. On the deck, Darrow and Elsa, two people on duty at night, were sitting around the stove, listening to the bears telling the wonderful stories spread among their race.

"Hey! Bear, you are actually a special human race!" Elsa, who was enjoying the leftover corner of bacon pizza from the banquet, raised her head and asked in surprise.

"Well! I do come from a race that is about to be extinct - the Bakania tribe!" After Xiong added some wood to the bonfire, he sat back on the small stool.

On the other side, after hearing the story that the bear came from the Bakania tribe and the Nika he told, Darrow raised his eyebrows uneasily.

When he traveled through time, the manga had just reached level [-] when Luffy had defeated Mr. Kai, and no information about the bear's life experience had been revealed before.

Although in these short few months together, Darrow also noticed the bear's terrifying growth rate and strange strength and deduced that the bear's life experience was very ordinary.

But he never thought that the race of bears could actually be related to [Nika].

"How did you know this story?" Darrow suppressed his inner surprise and asked the bear calmly.

"My father told me, and he also said that things about the Bakania tribe and Nika must be kept secret and cannot be told to other people!" Xiong scratched his head and explained.

"Well... listen to your father and remember to keep this matter a secret from now on. No one can reveal it."

Darrow didn't say anything more after hearing this. After giving Xiong a few words, he asked the yawning two people to go back to their rooms, leaving him alone to keep vigil.

After everyone on the ship fell asleep, Darrow took out the notebook written in Chinese from his pocket and placed it on his lap.

Since he obtained the fruit ability, his strength has entered a period of rapid development. He has been advancing by leaps and bounds without encountering any shackles, but it is different now - the fruit has awakened.

Since the awakened ability is concept compression, Darrow's ability boundaries have been greatly broadened. Some moves that were previously impossible to try can now be tried.

"Space, pain, temperature, sound, explosion..."

Darrow took out the golden revolver from his waist and calculated it. Of course, as a gunner, the first thing he thought of was...distance.

Using his knowledge, Darrow locked onto a distant reef protruding from the sea, pulled the trigger, and a silver-white bullet immediately slid out of the barrel of the gun.

What is different from the past is that the bullet disappears instantly as soon as it exits the barrel, appearing in front of the reef instantly as if it has crossed time and space, and completely smashes it into pieces.

"It seems that we no longer need to consider the issue of whether or not we will hit the target. After compressing the shooting distance, the bullet can hit almost instantly!" Darrow said with satisfaction as he looked at the firelight reflected on the sea not far away. .

Although this is just a small application of fruit awakening, it can greatly change Darrow's combat ecology.What is the most important thing as a shooter?

is the shooting distance.

But distance not only gives the gunner a safe output environment, it also makes bullets harder to hit and easier to be blocked on the way. Now that Darrow has awakened from the fruit, he can directly let his bullets hit the enemy by compressing the distance.

Just like the supersonic bullets of Van Oka, nicknamed "Otonoko" in the Blackbeard Pirates in the original work, Darrow can also shoot beyond visual range through the fruit's ability.

The shot is always on target and cannot be intercepted midway.

It can be said that after awakening from the Compression Fruit, Darrow has undoubtedly become the strongest gunner in history. This name has even begun to be praised by the world after the battle on Phuket Island.

[The world’s best shooter]

Although there is still a certain gap between the domineering Darrow after awakening and the top powerhouses such as Roger and Whitebeard Golden Lion, there is no doubt that he has reached the top of this ocean and can naturally afford it. This name.

After a few more rounds of shooting, Darrow returned his attention to the most essential thing of this ability awakening - concept compression, although after awakening, Darrow successfully applied it to combat.

But the keen Darrow can realize that there is a limit to his compression of these concepts, or that for different concepts, the difficulty of Darrow trying to pluck the "string" is also different.

Just like when fighting Big Mom, Darrow could easily compress all the heat in the surrounding environment and use it to attack, but when compressing the space, he found it very laborious.

Therefore, Darrow's [Jormungandr] was in a state of chaos and disorder. Although the turbulence of time and space was so powerful that it could almost destroy everything, it was completely uncontrollable.

And this is just the compression of space. If Darrow can break the string of space like breaking a tough stick with his bare hands, then for Darrow, time is like an unshakable steel bar.

"It seems there is still a long way to go!" Darrow put the pistol back into the gun case on his waist, and at the same time added a piece of firewood to the almost burned out torch, and sat back on the bench again.

Just when he wanted to continue sorting out his abilities, Darrow seemed to notice something. Suddenly he stood up with excitement, and at the same time turned his head to look at the sea not far away.

On the other side, the strongest members of the group, Izumi Riken, Lecter, and Sophia, as well as Elsa, who had the only level of perception, suddenly ran out of the room.

"Strange!... There seems to be something... approaching there? It's a very strong feeling!" Rector ran to the fence at the edge of the deck and pointed to the sea not far away.

"Elsa, can you 'see' what's going on in the water?" Darrow turned to look at Elsa, who was wearing elk pajamas and rubbing her eyes, and asked her.

"No, it's too deep. I can't detect it with my ability." Aisha used her third eye to scan the situation in the sea, but still found no clues. So the only possibility is that this breath comes from the deep sea. .

"You guys stay on standby on the deck and get ready for battle. I'll go over there and take a look!" After Darrow said that, he took a step and flew out, flashing onto the sea that exuded a terrifying aura.

Darrow maximized his perception of sight and color, and continued to explore the deep sea. Finally, he felt the majestic atmosphere in the deep sea thousands of meters below.

This breath is so intense, like a prehistoric beast lurking in the sea.

"So strong!" Sensing the aura hidden under the deep sea that was not inferior to him at all, Darrow took a long breath, but did not provoke the other party again, and returned directly to the Mermaid Chant.

"Leave this sea area as soon as possible! There seems to be a great guy in the sea!"

After a brief breath exchange with the being in the deep sea, Darrow also noticed that the other person did not seem to have any malicious intent, but Darrow, who did not want to cause trouble, still said to everyone.

After hearing the captain's order, everyone took action quickly. Only Sophia looked at the chart thoughtfully.

"What are you looking at!" Darrow quickly took the chart away from Sophia's hand and spread it on the dining table that had just finished the banquet and had not had time to clear it.

"Now, we should be between Puqi Island and Spring Queen Island, which means we have to go west..." Darrow ordered Lecter at the helm while looking at the chart.

"This route... I seem to know what it is!" Sophia said nonchalantly.

"What is it?" Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look at Sophia.

Sophia's expression was very serious, but she answered a name that sounded like a strange novel:

"Leviathan! Sea monster Leviathan!"
