This chaotic battle came inexplicably.

How could the Straw Hat Pirates think that the people besieging them were just to get Usopp to change his name, or to kill Usopp directly.

But the facts are in front of them, and they can't believe it.

In desperation, the soldiers can only block, the water comes to cover the earth, and all the people who come to find trouble will be beaten.

I don't know if it was deliberate, but the people who were beaten by the Straw Hat Pirates were basically not fatally injured.

But the trouble didn't end there.

After the trash fish fell, the mastermind behind the scenes appeared.

It's not Smoker who came here on a cool motorcycle.

Rather, it was a man with a green cockscomb, an eye stripe painted under his right eye, a nose ring on his nose, and a black wing-shaped semi-ring tattoo on his chest.

The man walked with his hands in his pockets, looking a little unscrupulous.

Not far away, Smoker, who was sitting and watching the farce end, looked at the green cockscomb-headed man walking towards the Straw Hat Pirates with a blank face.

"Bartolomeo."

He knew this man, the underworld boss of the Rogue Town neighborhood.

The group of people on the ground who were beaten by the Straw Hat Pirates were also Bartolomeo's men.

"Eyeing the Straw Hat Pirates' bounty?"

In Smoker's opinion, Bartolomeo has nothing to do with the Straw Hat Pirates, and will attack the Straw Hat Pirates in an ambush formation, most likely for the Straw Hat Pirates' 50 million bounty.

When Bartolomeo appeared on the stage, he naturally noticed that Smoker's "old acquaintance" was there.

But he ignored Smoker's presence, stepped past the little brother all over the ground, and came to Luffy and his party, looking at Usopp dozens of meters away with a fierce gaze.

"You're Usopp, aren't you?"

Bartolomeo drew the short knife from his waist and pointed the tip of the knife at Usopp.

"So what?"

Usopp was calm, and the flintlock pistol in his hand was in the position where he could shoot the fastest.

Sauron and the others looked at Bartolomeo, who was the last to appear, and roughly guessed that the other party was the boss of the group on the ground.

Bartolomeo snorted coldly and said viciously: "Then do you know the 'Usop Flow'? ”

Before the words fell, gunshots rang out in the arena.

But it was the short knife pointed at Usopp, and without warning, it shot a lead bullet and pointed it straight at Usopp in front of the door.

This sudden shot is really despicable and unguardable.

Rao is Luffy Zoro and the others, but they also failed to react in time.

however

Usopp flashed a red glint in his eyes, flicked his arm violently, and pulled the trigger at Bartolomeo with his gun.

Bang——!

The hot lead bullet spewed through the smoke of gunpowder from the muzzle of the gun, and it went straight to Bartolomeo.

Two buckshot bullets from different directions met in mid-air, and then collided and disintegrated, sputtering fleeting sparks.

The remains of the lead bullet fell to the ground on both sides, making small holes.

"Huh?"

Bartolomeo's pupils shrank sharply, and he looked incredulously at Usopp, who had shot the lead bullet down.

Zoro and Sanji glanced at the tiny bullet holes on the ground and had a clearer idea of Usopp's marksmanship.

"Domineering, this guy ......"

Smoker's heart shook, and his gaze at Usopp was mixed with a hint of solemnity.

"What a great marksmanship!!"

Luffy looked at Usopp with a glint in his eyes.

Facing the adoring eyes of his captain, Usopp puffed out his chest and said proudly: "Then for sure, don't look at who my master is!" ”

"Eh, did Maud teach you this marksmanship?"

Luffy was surprised, he thought that Usopp's sharp marksmanship had been passed down from Jesus Bu.

"Not to mention marksmanship."

Usopp raised his flintlock pistol and pressed the muzzle of it under his eyebrows, his face in high spirits.

"Master Maude also taught me a very, very powerful technique, if you want to learn it, I can try to teach you, but Master Maude said that this kind of skill only depends on talent, and I can't guarantee that you can learn it."

Listening to Usopp's words, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were moved.

Bartolomeo, who was dozens of meters away, was dumbfounded.

Master Maud???

Usopp ???

No way???

Bartolomeo stared at Usopp and asked in disbelief:

"Hey, your master, could it be the Bacardi who injured the legendary hero of the navy, Karp, crushed and crushed all the supernovas of the same period, and single-handedly picked out the green ghosts and red ghosts, and has frequently occupied the headlines since his debut, which is unprecedented, and the ruthlessness is intoxicating. Maude senior, right? ”

"Huh?"

Luffy and Usopp were stunned.

The former is because Bartolomeo mentions Karp.

The latter was because Bartolomeo was able to tell Maude's deeds like a treasure, and immediately asked, "Do you know my master?" ”

"Ahhh!!hhh I actually offended the apprentice of Maude's senior!! ”

Hearing Usoppe's words, Bartolomeo fell to his knees inexplicably as if struck by lightning, hugged his head and shouted, and wept bitterly.

The sky seemed to be affected by Bartolomeo's mood, and suddenly it was overcast.

Looking at Bartolomeo's pompous reaction, the Straw Hats and the others looked at each other in surprise.

"Usopp, Usopp Flow, I should have thought of !!"

"Damn!!"

Bartolomeo looked remorseful and pounded the ground with his hands, as if he had made some great mistake that would not be forgiven.

But his expressions and demeanor made the Straw Hats a little confused.

Not far away.

Smoker glanced back at the group led by Dusty from across the street.

At this moment, he finally stopped watching coldly, but pulled out the ten hands inlaid with the Hailou Stone with his backhand, and at the same time, the lower half of his body smoked, and rushed towards the Straw Hats in the air.

He's going to be here to wipe out the budding Straw Hat Pirates!

Bartolomeo, who was in remorse and pain, looked up suddenly, his bloodshot eyes swept towards Smoker, who was rushing towards the Straw Hats.

"Get out of the way!"

Bartolomeo's expression was cold, and he raised his hand to make a gesture of overlapping his index fingers, and then volleyed at Smoker.

Mobile barriers!

Bartolomeo, who was in the air, decisively used the ability of the barrier fruit to open a flowing barrier in front of him.

Immediately, the flow barrier transformed into a racket-like shape, and slapped it towards the half-smoked Smoker.

Looking at the barrier racket that came over his head, Smoker's face changed.

Smoke cannot pass through the barrier......

Smoker only had time to smoke all over his body before he was blasted to the ground by the barrier racket, scattering into white smoke all over the ground.

Soon, however, the white smoke slowly gathered into a human form, eventually turning into the shape of Smoker.

"These two are the same as Luffy, they are both capable people!"

Zoro and the others were secretly surprised.

I didn't expect that there were actually two rare Devil Fruit abilities in one town.

In particular, the ability to smoke is tricky at first glance.

It's just, why did the man named Bartolomeo help them?

Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and Nami were puzzled.

Luffy is the only one who has no heart and lungs, and is attracted by the abilities shown by Smoker and Bartolomeo.

Smoker, who had returned to his original form, pointed at Bartolomeo with ten fingers and said with a grim expression: "Bartolomeo, do you know what you are doing?" ”

Bartolomeo spat at Smoker, and was about to say something harsh.

"Bulu Bulu, Bulu Bulu ......"

Usopp heard the sound of a phone bug calling from his satchel.

In this case, the call unconsciously attracts everyone's attention.

Usopp pulled open his satchel and pulled out the phone bug that had followed Maude's advice.

At the moment of connection, the image of the phone bug suddenly became heroic.

"It's Usopp, right?"

Then, Maude's voice came out of the phone bug's mouth.

"Master Maude?!"

Listening to the voice, Usopp was shocked.

"It's me."

“！！！”

Everyone was startled, and they all stared at the phone bug in Usopp's hand.

On the other end of this phone bug, there is a terrible man.

Smoker's face was solemn.

I thought Usopp was talking about it, but I didn't expect it to be really related to that man!

"I—I heard the voice of an idol......" Bartolomeo looked at the phone bug that revealed a bit of Maude's image, but tears welled up in his eyes.

Nami pursed her lips and stared at the phone bug in Usopp's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then snatched Usopp's next words.

"Is it really you, Maude......"

"Huh?"

On the other end of the phone bug, Modder paused.

"It's Nami......"

“……”

Nami's eyes lit up.

Hearing Maude call out Nami's name, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were surprised and looked at Nami with a look of surprise.

As if to say, how come even you know Maude?

No, how can I say that even Maud knows you?

As long as Usopp was slightly stunned, he thought to himself, no wonder Nami reacted a little strangely at that time.

On the roof of a building in the distance.

The dragon, who had been waiting for Luffy to leave Rogue Town, silently looked up at the black clouds surging in the sky.

He thought to himself that he would simply summon a gust of wind and blow Luffy and them directly to the captain.
