In this Age of Discovery, maybe it's because of guns, or maybe it's because of the difficulty of training.

In many cases, the gunner's lethality and presence are inferior to those of the swordsman or the physical arts.

As a result, most pirates tend to focus more on melee members in the distribution of combat members.

Even if it is as strong as the Jesus cloth under the banner of the Four Emperors, before moving towards the later stage, it must rely on physical fitness and armed color domineering to support the comprehensive strength, so as not to drag the team back.

And since they all have to improve their physical strength and armed color domineering, wouldn't they be able to get more intuitive lethality by investing their energy in cold weapons or pure body techniques?

Looking at those sea kings, which one is not using cold weapons, or specializing in physical arts?

This is where the sniper is slightly embarrassed.

But in certain situations, snipers can undoubtedly be the most headache for the enemy.

Like now.

The Sharp Bull Pirates, who were guarding a point, became a live target for Maude.

After just ten shots, Maude left the Sharp Bull Pirates eight dead.

This gunfight, which collided in the night, was also watched by many spectators.

It is unimaginable that the Sharp Bull Pirates, who have the advantage of numbers, will be suppressed by a single gunman.

The sentries who tried to bite off a large piece of meat from the Sharp Bull Pirates saw an opportunity in this shootout.

Although they don't know which pirate group's ruthless person did it, driven by interests, they can't control it so much, and they each inform the boss to prepare for the fisherman's profit.

The peeping gaze of the jackals, hidden in the darkness.

Maud, located on top of the warehouse, quickly adjusted the sniper point.

The whole process was stress-free to implement.

The enemy's superiority of "light" and "dark" was vividly displayed at this moment.

After moving to a suitable sniper point, Maude's gun was aimed at Wells and others, who were still practicing the fire suppression strategy.

"The first."

The people he had shot and killed before were not taken seriously by Maud at all.

His goal was always only three names in his notebook.

With a cold gaze on Wells, who didn't know the danger was coming, Maude pulled the trigger.

Buckshot flew into the distant night.

When the smoke of gunpowder filled, Maud put away [Usopp] without looking, jumped straight down the warehouse, and came to the ground.

Without the wolf rat and Tatam guarding him, Maud didn't dare to be so arrogant and keep firing guns.

As he reloaded, he quickly reached for the Sharp Ox Pirate ship moored in the docks.

After only a few meters of walking, an extra star appeared on the cover of the hunter's note in his consciousness.

The physical gain that came back in an instant made Maude feel like he was in a hot spring for a moment, and he couldn't help but exhale a long breath comfortably.

Feeling the feedback that was different from before, Maud realized something.

As soon as the thought moved, the hunter's notes appeared out of thin air.

The many silver stars above the black cover turned into meteors at this moment, pulling out slender silver trails on the pitch-black cover, like a meteor shower like a falling star.

Eventually, the star shower converges on the right side of the physique of the demand bar, slowly forming a hollow star frame: ☆

Looking at the "☆" next to the physique, Maude's eyes were happy.

"It's so quick to form a star frame, if you can kill Gatzt tonight, maybe you can fill the star frame at once, and then you can get the first rebirth!"

Maud was pleasantly surprised and excited.

But soon calmed down.

To be happy, you have to be happy after a successful hunt.

Removing the hunter's note, Maud looked at the Sharp Bull Pirate ship in the distance, her eyes glinting.

The composition of the star frame was something he hadn't expected.

I thought I'd have to take out at least 5-8 Evans. Watt-level goals can eventually form a star frame.

Now that I think about it, it should be the fish-man Samra who was hunted on the day of the auction that raised the overall income.

"Next, as long as you can take out the Gatzt ......"

Maud carried Usopp behind her, and for a moment, a more secure thought came to mind.

That is, first join up with the wolf and rat, and then work together to sweep away the special attack team sent by the Sharp Bull Pirates, and then launch a general attack on the Sharp Bull Pirate Ship guarded by the turtle.

It's just that, considering the possibility of being robbed of the head, Maud would rather face Gatzt alone.

With [Heart Drop Fist Listening], even if you can't do anything, you can leave in time.

Drawing a dagger and holding it in his hand, Maud headed for the Sharp Bull Pirate Ship.

.........

The deck of the Sharp Bull Pirate Ship.

"Captain Wells!!"

A gunman watched with horror as Wells, who had been shot in the temple and fell to the ground to die.

Even the captain was killed.

When they looked into the night in the distance, even if the enemy's gunfire was no longer visible, they would have an inexplicable fear of not knowing when they would be killed.

This is the invisible sense of oppression that snipers create in the depths of the night.

Moreover, the poor performance of the three remaining gunman companions made the melee members hiding behind cover even more tired.

In this case, they are not able to carry out even the most basic vigilance.

Considering that there were several secret sentinels from other pirate groups around the ship, all kinds of thoughts fell on their shoulders invisibly.

Tick.

Beads of sweat fell on the deck, splashing small splashes.

Every member of the Sharp Bull Pirates is on high alert.

One can only hope that Captain Gabuton will kill the sniper.

In the midst of this invisible pressure, they got through a difficult minute.

The sniper didn't shoot for a full minute, which means ......

"Captain Gabton succeeded?"

At the thought of this possibility, the members of the Sharp Bull Pirates all showed a hint of joy.

The three gunmen, in particular, were immediately relieved.

The sniper had not ceased fire since the shootout began, and this was the first time he had not fired a shot for more than a minute.

Even if it wasn't Captain Gabton who killed the sniper, he would have forced him back, or pinned down the sniper.

Only this explains.

It was as if the gunners of the Sharp Bull Pirates had unloaded their burdens, but how could they have imagined that the terrifying sniper would cut out a knife and touch it towards him.

When this impossible idea becomes a reality.

The gunman's mind was filled with deep doubts that he could not understand.

Maud came with a knife in his hand, and he, having already figured out the enemy's position, slashed the neck of a gunner with a dagger as soon as he appeared.

Under the gunman's incredulous gaze, Maud quickly stabbed the gunman in the heart.

Immediately, Maud drew the short-handled flintlock pistol that the gunman was wearing, and then quickly approached the second gunner along the route he had planned before embarking on the boat, still with two clean knives.

When Maud killed two people in a row, the rest of the Sharp Bull Pirates reacted.

Bang——!

Maud shot the last gunman who was relatively close.

Throwing away the empty pistol, Maud fires several shots from the rifled and flintlock pistols on the gunman's corpse before the members of the Sharp Bull Pirates rush over.

The precise marksmanship at close range instantly left four more corpses on the deck.

From the time he got on the ship to now, in just over ten seconds, Maude has killed seven members of the Sharp Bull Pirates.

Despite this, there were still quite a few members of the Sharp Bull Pirates on the deck, rushing towards Maude with murderous intent on their faces.

Maud was not afraid of this.

Just because he likes to use guns doesn't mean he's weak in melee combat.

This can be seen in the [Speed Sword] that can deal with Abbey.

Holding the dagger tightly, Maude, whose physique had already been transformed, greeted the crowd.

As the sword flashed, Dao blood arrows splattered all around.

In a short time, the pirates on the deck were slaughtered by Maud with a dagger.

If you can use a long knife, you can probably kill faster.

In the captain's room.

Gatzt finally couldn't sit still.

Scolding his men for their incompetence, he pushed open the hatch and onto the deck.

What caught my eye was the corpses of his men all over the ground.

Kazt jerked his gaze at Maude, who was culling his men.

After seeing Maude's face clearly, his rugged face suddenly burst into veins.

The enemy was very red when he saw him.

"U. Demand. General! ”

He shouted out the name Maud was using, word by word.

The sound filled with murderous intent instantly resounded in the night sky.

The surrounding sentinels were shocked when they heard the name.

It turned out to be the recently born Usopp ......!
