Chapter 89 Sniper (Ch 89)

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 spear in his hand, frowning slightly:
“Ahhhh~”
“Is this the fate of that bullet?”
While the man was speaking, several guards came up and said respectfully:
“Lord Van-Oka, is it resolved?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? 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 leaders should be an animal-type devil fruit user.”
“Looking at their route, they should be heading here!”
“A devil fruit user?”
Several guards were stunned.
Then he 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 Oka said, and even with Gaza’s temper, he 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 a sigh of relief.
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 Gawain Pirates can be relied upon for protection at sea, but these guards still have to be relied upon to maintain basic order in the port.
So naturally, Gaza started a new round of conscription, and it was at that time that Van Oka was discovered.
With his superb marksmanship, he can hit the target 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 himself as an ATM?
“Miss~”
Jasmine reminded from the side:
“The other party was able to bypass the surveillance route set up by Mr. Gao Wen and advance all the way here. I’m afraid their strength is not that simple.”
“Van-Oka may also be reminding you.”
Gaza took a deep breath, his complexion returned to normal, and he 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 cat brothers first.”
“Also, alert the guards in the port. If 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 port 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 only left a trace of black marks on the ship.
The guards in the port finally realized at this moment that these weak shells were simply unable to resist the invasion of pirate ships.
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.
Bang!
The powerful impact force completely cracked the floor, and spider-web-like cracks spread several meters in all directions.
Everyone in the port 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.
“Lions and cheetahs?”
As the guards were puzzled, Ratchet, who had transformed into a human-beast, raised a sinister smile:
“It’s an ocelot and a Maine Coon!”
After saying that.
Ratchet’s figure flashed and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
The next moment.
Suddenly a scream was heard from the crowd.
When everyone looked back, they were shocked to find that a guard had been ripped open by Ratchet’s sharp claws. After struggling weakly for a few times, he breathed his last.
Ratchet 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 port behind them.
Seeing this, Ratchet’s smirk 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 Ratched and penetrated the wall, just a few millimeters away from hitting his chest.
Ratched 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 me, even with the ability of the Animal-type Fruit, I’m afraid it would tear off a large piece of flesh and blood.
“interesting!”
Ratched 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.”
Ratchet waved to LaBute beside him:
“I’m going to chase the sniper. I’ll leave these small fry in the harbor to you.”
After saying this, without waiting for LaBute to react, Lachet turned into an ocelot, took a step forward, and galloped towards Fan Oka in the distance.
“What a bloodthirsty fellow.”
LaBute 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 things, very important things.”
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 LaBute’s voice fell, the pirate ship in the distance finally arrived at the port. Hundreds of people jumped off the deck and rushed into the crowd waving swords.
A fight broke out.
Amidst the flash of swords and sabers, LaBute fought off several guards who blocked his way and slowly walked towards the port.
With the help of the 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.
Gao Wen, however, sat at his desk with a gloomy face, holding the receiver of a 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 cat brothers and Zango, 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 phone 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?”
Gao Wen was slightly stunned and asked:
“May I have your name?”
“Van-Oka!”
Van Oka added:
“Oh, remember, it’s three times, no, five times the reward!”
