HxH in One Piece World - Chapter 56
Chapter 56 Get hit
About fifteen minutes before the agreed time, Maude had already arrived at the night bar.
When he came to the bar, Wolf Rat was already ready.
He looked at Maude, who was heavily armed, and suddenly had an urge to wear a weapon.
“Set off?”
Maude asked.
Wolf Rat nodded and got up from his seat.
Inside the bar, Tatamu took off his uniform, revealing an eye-catching muscle.
He put on a black short-sleeved shirt first, then walked out of the bar.
“Tatamu?”
Maude looked at Tatamu’s behavior in doubt.
Upon seeing this, the wolf rat explained: “I asked for it. Only with the help of Tatamu, I can let go to attract firepower. Of course, it costs money.”
“That’s it.”
Maude glanced at Tatamu’s bulging muscles like rocks, thinking that Tatamu’s physical skills should not be weak.
Inside the small and inconspicuous bar, there are masters such as Wolf Rat and Tatamu.
On the contrary, in the noisy place on the outer street, there are only some pirates who are not very powerful but act quite ostentatiously.
In contrast, Wolf Rat and Tatamu are low-key and restrained, but are more like people in the underground world.
Wolf Rat had never thought about spending money to ask Tatamu to take care of him, and he still had to pay an IOU.
It was mainly because of the psychological shadow cast by Maude’s pit, with Tatamu taking care of him, and it was always a lot of peace of mind.
The laneway was silent in the middle of the night, and the sound of mice running by was faintly heard.
Maude and the three of them left the night bar, walked in the lane, and headed towards the dock.
……….
Every pirate group that arrives in Mad Hatter Town will leave a team guarding the ship before going ashore.
This is the norm.
After being seriously injured in the Tomahawk Tavern, Abe did not return to the ship, but went directly to the largest hotel in the town to recover from his injuries.
In this situation, he dared to split his forces into two, so we can see that Abe’s personality has some shortcomings.
In contrast, Katzt, who stayed on the boat to recover from his injuries, seemed much more secure.
Before he recovered from his injuries, he concentrated all his forces on board the ship.
Bull Pirate Ship, Captain’s Room.
The candle was brightly lit, and Katzt was lying on his back on the bed with a cold expression.
His body was almost covered with white bandages.
The cabinet by the bed was full of medicine jars, and the cabin was filled with a strong smell of medicine.
In the battle that day, Abe’s [Speed Sword] obviously had the upper hand, not only poking a lot of blood holes out of Katzt’s lower body, but also taking care of a lot of his upper body.
Ordinary people are poked like this, and only a few blood holes should fall down and wait for death.
Relying on the fruit ability, Katzt resisted Abe’s countless attacks abruptly, and immediately found the opportunity, and only used [Black Hoof] to make Abe lose her combat ability.
However, he also lost combat power due to excessive blood loss.
This evenly matched battle that hurt both sides was seen by some passers-by and pirates who were not afraid of death.
Compared to Katzt, who was miserably stabbed by Abe with a foil, the previous boy named Usopp survived Abe’s stabbing and slapped Abe.
It can only be said that there is only harm when there is contrast.
Because of this, the name Usopp was passed on by these bystanders.
Especially in the pirate circle, the guys who turn out to be born out of nowhere are often their drunk talks.
Just like the new Pirate Ace, who made headlines two days ago, he has directly become the main talk in every tavern.
Moreover, stepping on and holding hands has always been something that pirates are willing to do.
Furthermore, one of the ways for newcomers to quickly rise to power is to personally defeat the well-known “old predecessors”.
Under the influence of this peculiar trend, what happened at the Tomahawk Tavern that day has naturally become a classic example.
The fearless guys, in the drunken conversation, wantonly belittle the old pirates like Abe and Katzt, who have been famous for a long time, and then use this to raise Usopp’s reputation.
Regardless of the mainstream trend of respecting strength, this behavior can relatively satisfy some of their spiritual needs.
As for how miserable Usopp will eventually fall, it is not something they will consider.
Katzt has long been accustomed to this ethos, because he has also stepped on his seniors all the way to get where he is now.
But when your face is rubbed on the ground like this, how can you feel comfortable?
Due to Katzt’s emotions, the members of the Pirate Pirates Group did not dare to feel bad.
Wells, one of the cadres, was naturally so, but he was responsible for reporting, and he became the person who had the most contact with Katzt during this period of time except for the ship doctor.
Wells pushed the door into the captain’s room, and under Katzt’s expressionless gaze, he came to the bed.
Katzt looked at wells and asked in a cold voice, “Is there a situation?”
“After the intensified patrols, the number of secret guards sent by other pirate regiments has obviously decreased, and they have basically figured out their positions. Do you want to send them…”
Wells made a cut of his neck.
Katzt looked cold and said: “No, but if you cross the line, you don’t need to be polite.”
“clear.”
Wells nodded, did not stay long after the report, left the captain’s room and continued to stick to his post.
Katzt looked at the closed door coldly, and snorted suddenly.
The previous looting of Platinum Armed Merchant Ships certainly brought Katzt a certain degree of fame and blessings, as well as a lot of benefits.
But at the same time, it will also attract jealous colleagues.
After all, Platinum is one of the well-known large chambers of commerce in West Sea, and a fortune alone is a profit of hundreds of millions.
Before being injured, this group of colleagues could only envy and hate.
After being injured, they gathered around like wolves smelling blood.
But the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and even if Pirates have suffered heavy losses recently, they still have sufficient deterrence.
This is the root of the High Bounty Pirate Group.
……….
Above the dock warehouse.
Maude and the others hid in the shadows that could not be illuminated by the light, looking from a distance at the Pirate Ship moored in the dock.
From this position, it is possible to barely see the members patrolling back and forth on the deck of the Bull Pirate Ship. They are distributed in almost every corner, forming a tight cordon.
After observing for a while, Wolf Rat said in a low voice and solemnly: “It’s so hard to deploy, how should we do it?”
Maude didn’t speak, but carefully observed the defense situation on the deck, and at the same time considered the distance between the place and the pirate ship.
Staring closely at the flying direction of the Pirate Ship’s flag, Maude suddenly said, “Shoot the birds.”
“what?”
Wolf Rat looked at Maude because he was unknown.
However, Maude lowered the spear behind him and set up his muzzle to aim at the deck of the Bull Pirate Ship.
Wolf Rat immediately understood Maude’s plan.
He knew that Maude’s marksmanship was good, but this distance had exceeded the effective range of a musket. Without the blessing of other external factors, no matter how good the marksmanship, the hit rate would become extremely low.
In this case, rashly implementing a long-range strike will only reveal the location and motivation.
Despite this, Wolf Rat did not make a sound reminder.
Tatamu glanced at Maude’s musket. Even if the barrel was modified and lengthened, he didn’t think he could do anything at this distance.
“can not hit.”
“You can get it.”
Maude aimed his gun at the figure on the distant deck and said calmly: “An elder told me that blind confidence is not entirely a bad thing for the gunman.”
Feel the potential boost given by the wind direction, while taking the height into account.
Until the last step, there will be a vague feeling of “that’s all right”.
Soon, Maude pulled the trigger.
The lead bullet drew a straight line in the night, traversing a distance of nearly 150 meters, and accurately hit a member of the walking pointed Bull pirate group.
Hit the head!
The hit member fell to the ground without saying a word.
The sudden change immediately made the rest of the staff tense their nerves and looked in the direction of the gunfire.
However, nothing can be seen.
As the sniper on the ship, Wells realized something in vain and shouted: “Find a shelter.”
At the same time, the warehouse is on top.
Tatamu and Werewolf looked at Maude in surprise.
After a while, Tatamu admired: “Awesome.”
Wolf Rat was silent.
He is very aware of the importance of a powerful sniper before a battle at sea.
However, most powerful snipers were born as pirates…
