Capítulo 80: Duel with Sogeking
Nami slowly forgot those memories with Arlong and turned her head at the bar owner.She took out a pouch full of jewelry and gave it to the bar owner.
"This is for all of the destruction coming next."
Saying so, she turned around and took out the transponder snail from her pocket. As she dialed a number, she waited for a moment.
"You bastard, why are you calling me right now?"
A voice came from the transponder snail.
Nami's face turned black for a moment but she quickly shook her head and said.
"Hello, my name is Nami. Zack is currently beating all of the pirates off Jaya Island. He asked me to inform you that you should bring your battleship here and pick up these pirates."
.....
There was a momentary silence from the transponder snail.
On the other side of the transponder snail, Smoker was sitting with his face turning red. Next to him, Tashigi couldn't help but chuckle.
"Alright!"
After giving one word, he immediately put away the transponder snail.
"That bastard! Who does he think he is? Pirate or marine?" Smoker couldn't help but curse after putting down the call.
"But sir, identity aside, they haven't truly done anything bad" Tashigi spoke from the side.
"Are you guys having a conversation about a pirate in front of a Marine Admiral?"
A speechless voice rang from the other side.
There was a tall and thin man sitting on the chair next to Smoker.
"By the way, why did you visit me so suddenly?" Smoker turned his head at Admiral Kuzan and asked.
"Because Hina reported to me that you weren't acting normal. Besides that, I am also chasing after Straw Hat Pirates under the fleet admiral's command." Admiral Kuzan answered.
"Huh? Why is an admiral chasing a newly established pirate crew? It shouldn't be because of the pirate defeat of the navy, right?" Smoker couldn't help but frown. Kuzan shook his head and asked.
"I am not that free. It's just that I want to confirm one thing. Besides that, why did you curse the World Government when they gave you the promotion for false achievement but still accept it?"
Smoker got silent for a moment before answering.
"Because I hate taking credit for someone else hard work and being a pawn for some fucking political coverup bullshit. The only reason I accepted it was because someone told me that without proper status and rank, I can't do anything."
"Is that so?" Kuzan slowly stood up and walked away. But before leaving the door, he said "Even with my status and rank, there are sometimes I can't do anything. By the way, I will be sleeping in your ship for quite a while and if need you can wake me when you think you are ready to practice Marine six."
Saying so, he finally left the room.
On the other hand, Smoker's expression turned ugly upon hearing that.
Although he knew that Admirals also have their hands bound by the world government, just hearing it from the admiral himself shook him for a moment. But a few seconds later, his expression calmed down, and the blazing fire of justice burned brightly in his heart. Just because of Kuzan's words, he wasn't going to give up on his justice.
.....
On Jaya Island,
After ending the call, Nami returned to her crew who were done with all the pirates, helping them tie up all the pirates beaten by them. Bellamy still talks rubbish and for the last time shouts that straw hats will never be able to reach Sky Islands before being knocked out.
Nami grabbed the pirate ties in chains with others walking down the street when someone yelled out saying Sky Island exists. Nami and others recognized the man from the bar who was fighting with Luffy over Pie.
Zack, Luffy, Zoro, Ussop, and Nami stood in front of four people. They were none other than Blackbeard, Jesus Burgess, Van Augur, and Doc Q.
"Why are you here?" Luffy asked with a suspiciously serious expression. Luffy may act like a fool, but he is not someone who won't mistake judging other's characters. From the time he meets his first glance at Blackbeard, he knows the man in front of him is no joke. He can just feel the negative vibe sitting a mile away. That intense it is.
"Who knows, though my identity is not important. Took care of the loudmouth pests, it seems." Replied Blackbeard munching over his pie and a smile.
"Why did your teeth fall out, did you get beaten in some short amount of time ? or did your teeth get cavities and fall?"
The smile on Blackbeard's face disappeared instantly, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
"Are you looking for some old woman to treat your teeth?"
Luffy hits again.
"Asshole!"
Blackbeard was very angry, and black smoke began to appear on his body but soon calmed down.
"You are the sniper from before"
Van Oka looked at Usopp.
"You're the one who just shot?"
Usopp asked cautiously.
"There was no winner just now, let's have a match."
Van Oka asked with a strong fighting spirit as he has rarely met an equal opponent in recent years.
"That… Since there is no winner, so be it, we'll be tied."
Usopp was trembling all over. If he lost the test, he would be dead.
"Are you humiliating me!"
Van Oka picked up the gun angrily and fired directly.
boom!
Usopp picked up the slingshot, raised his hand and it was a shot.
boom!
The two bullets collided.
"Since you have come to your senses, let's have a showdown between men."
Usopp's temperament is instantly different.
At this moment, it was as if Sogeking had possessed the body, completely fearless!
Zack frowned. Recently he discovered something was wrong with Usopp. Although in normal combat, the strength is rapidly improving which is a good thing due to how they are targeted by marines and later will be by yonko . Seeing in anime and in real life is different. But usually, he hasn't changed at all, he's still so timid. Only after being stimulated at certain times, does he instantly change into a person.
Even he now seriously suspects that Usopp has schizophrenia, and has even split a Sogeking-like personality.
"I really shouldn't have told him the story of Sogeking."
Zack sighed inwardly, feeling a little anxious for Usopp. This has led to the emergence of a dual personality earlier in the current Usopp. Hopefully, Chopper can cure Usopp in the future if a problem arises.
In the duel between the two snipers, neither side intends to intervene. This is a life-threatening battle between men. It would be an insult to them to intervene.
Back to back, Usopp and Van Oka walked out in both directions. The two walked a hundred paces each. At the moment when the two stopped, the hands of the two people stopped!
Quickly put the gun and slingshot, turn around, and shoot, the action is done in one go, as fast as lightning!
boom!
boom!
The two shots sounded almost at the same time.
The two bullets collided without incident.
The shooting speed of the two people is very fast.
It's getting so close that no one else can see how to shoot.
"So strong!"
"This is gunfighting? It's a terrifying skill."
Robin who was collecting information and came to the scene of commotion glanced at Zack using her devil fruit power still hiding because it was Zack who suggested Ussop train in these skills.
A smile appeared on Zack's face. Now Usopp can considered a complete master of shooting, but fighting and swordsmanship are still far from each other. He is still leagues behind Haki users.
Only if the Master has the three powers of shooting, fighting, and swordsmanship, and fuse them together, that is the real shooting!
He was looking forward to how powerful Usopp would be at that time, just hoped that no other personalities would be born.
Just at this time.
Usopp's bullet was missed, and the deviation was very large.
Van Oka immediately seized the opportunity and fired again.
Usopp also had a panicked expression on his face, barely dodging the bullet.
But then he didn't have time to shoot either.
And Van Oka had raised his gun, "It's over!"
"Yeah, it's over."
The panic disappeared from Usopp's face, and a small smile appeared.
At this moment, the originally deflected bullet turned a corner!
boom!
Van Oka was hit and fell to the ground, "I lost!"
"Being able to fight against me, Sogeking Usopp for so long, your shooting skills are also very good, report your name."
Usopp said with a wall.
"Van Oka! Blackbeard Pirate Sniper!"
Van Oka shouted.
"I remember your name, Van Oka!"
Usopp turned and left without shooting Van Oka.
"I've already lost, according to the rules you should kill me!"
Van Oka shouted.
"It's still too early for you to die, surpass me, Van Oka, and I'll be waiting at the top!" Usopp shouted.
Van Oka???
The Blackbeard gang???
"Why does this line feel so familiar to me?"
Zoro's face darkened.
Zack also didn't expect that Usopp would say Hawkeye's lines.
"Van Oka, it's too embarrassing to be told by a child to surpass him, hahaha!"
Blackbeard laughed out loud, and the other two laughed too.
"It's a bit embarrassing, but I will surpass him!"
Van Oka struggled to stand up, his eyes very firm.
[ Blackbeard Marshall D Teach - Mid Yonko commander (??? Bottom Yonko)]
"Since the duel is over.How about we stop fighting? Although you still have a greater chance of defeating us, we are not without our trump card. More importantly, we have more people."
Hearing his words, Luffy was rarely silent. He looked at Blackbeard with a stiff expression and said.
"You are his opponent so I won't fight."
Hearing their words, Blackbeard was also hesitant. He also didn't want to get severely injured in this battle especially when there is a chance of his crewmates getting heavly injured or dying.
Although he didn't care much about his crewmates, he didn't want to lose them now.
So, he decided to compromise.
"Zhehahaha! You are right. There is no need for us to fight. Boys, let's leave right now!"
" But before that know this, the 'new era' they talk about is bullshit. The era of pirates' dreams is over...?! A man's dream!!! It doesn't end!!!! How would you like to go while getting ridiculed? when you look up high!! There are some fights where you shouldn't throw punches.Hey, isn't it?Oops, I guess that was a distraction. You must be in a hurry to go, right? I wish I could go to ' Sky Island '!Jehahahaha!"
Blackbeard gave the order and turned around, leaving with his crewmates.
...….
Back with Luffy and the group,
Luffy, Sanji, Zoro, Ussop, and Zack turned around about to leave the scene. Nami still looking at the retreading Blackbeard pirates.
"He was the one wasn't he Zack??"
"Yes, he is the one"
"what do you mean guys? What are you talking about??" questioned Nami.
"He is Blackbeard"
"You mean, he is the scum, Ace is looking for" repied Nami
"It's not a he, it's them…" stated Zoro who walked opposite the group
"He is not alone, there are three of them" mentioned Ussop
"He is a tricky opponent to deal with considering his devil fruit. By the way Mosshead, you are going in the wrong direction. Once again you will be get lost"
"shut up!!! Perv cook"
