Chapter 1303: Death and the Future
Seven ships were sinking rapidly. Of course, the Big Mama pirates weren't stupid, but they couldn't leave right now. If they sail away, the pirates who landed earlier will find themselves in enemy territory without any support.
But if they didn't set sail, they would end up at the bottom of the sea sooner or later, so they were in a dilemma.
Su Xiao sent five rounds to the Duke of Nirvana and continued to sink the ships. This opportunity was very rare and, most likely, the Big Mom pirates will quickly come up with countermeasures.
As the twelfth ship sank, the remaining vessels began to swim behind the rocks.
They realized that it was safe behind the rocks, since none of the ships in that place were sunk.
When the last ship disappeared from Su Xiao's sight, there were 15 bullet casings under his feet. He managed to sink 14 ships and only one shot went down the drain.
The Big Mama Pirates were stunned by such a sudden attack, but they had no idea who exactly attacked them. Four kilometers was too much of a distance and the sound of shots from the Duke of Nirvana simply didn't reach the ships.
On the land side, there were more and more Sponge Soldiers, if there were a few dozen of them before, now there were about a hundred, and all of them were not afraid of death, rather, they did not know what it was at all, as they were not living beings.
The Dress Rose had seven drop-off points. Before the battle began, the Quixote family managed to reinforce them, and points 1 to 5 were guarded by some officer, while point 6 was personally guarded by Doflamingo and now there he was fighting Katakuri, while point 7 was under a strong pressure of Biscuit Soldiers.
Items 1 through 6 would be able to hold out for a while longer, but item 7 was already on the verge of collapse. The Quixote family's losses in the area were at least 40%. If they weren't fighting over Dress Rose right now, the Quixote family's pirates would have turned around and fled long ago. The Sponge Soldiers were, in fact, real tanks, and ordinary pirates could do nothing at all against such tanks. Even Pika needed to spend about half a minute destroying just one such soldier.
As soon as the seventh landing point falls, the load on other points will increase significantly and, most unpleasant of all, some of them will be attacked in the back.
Su Xiao still didn't find where Charlotte Cracker was hiding, but he did find the place where all those Sponge Soldiers were coming out from.
They were all coming out from behind a huge rock.
Su Xiao immediately contacted Bubtney and relayed the information to him. Bubtni, having merged with the environment, began to jump on the rocks on the shore and quickly arrived at the specified place.
Standing on a rock nearly ten meters high, Bubtney leaned down and looked toward the coast.
A man with purple hair and a scar over one eye immediately came into Bubtney's line of vision.
It was Charlotte Cracker.
Charlotte Cracker was lying cross-legged on a chaise longue in the shade under a huge rock, with only a few pirates guarding him, and he was lying facing the sea and clearly enjoying the scenery.
*Clap-clap...*
Cracker clapped his hands and a sponge cake immediately appeared around him. The sponge cake floating in the air began to quickly gather together and soon another Sponge Soldier was formed.
After waiting for a couple of similar creatures to appear, they all rushed towards the battlefield together.
Bubtney's eyes filled with surprise. I jumped down from the rock, and it took him a couple of seconds to reach the chaise longue and squat down just a few meters away from Charlotte Cracker.
Cracker yawned and didn't even notice Bubtney's arrival. Yes, Bubtney's disguise was second to none, but here are the rest of his abilities...
Bubtney calmly took out a tape measure from his inventory and began measuring the distance between the Cracker and the rock.
After a while, Bubtney nodded in satisfaction and stared at Cracker. Although he sometimes looked like a coward, right now, he wasn't afraid of one of the three Candy Generals at all, and he stared at Cracker without any misgivings.
Quickly jumping onto the rock, he descended to the other side of it, which was in Su Xiao's line of sight.
Right now, Bubtney felt like he was strolling through his own back garden, not a hot battlefield.
Taking out a watercolor pen, he began to draw some scribbles on the stone.
After a couple of seconds, Bubtney drew a red circle on the stone and took out a thermal imager, after which he began to put some marks on the circle.
Soon Bubtney finished drawing. On the stone, it displayed the exact position of Cracker's head, but Su Xiao naturally couldn't just shoot at that circle.
If he fired directly at it, the bullet would only end up sticking into the sand under Cracker's feet.
While Su Xiao adjusted the shooting angle to a micron's accuracy, Bubtney jumped back on the rock just in case, mainly for the sake of watching the Cracker.
While Su Xiao was setting up the sniper rifle to shoot, Cracker calmly rested on the chaise longue and didn't suspect anything.
The distance between them was more than four kilometers, and they were separated by a huge rock, no, more like a full-fledged rock. Cracker would only be able to sense something amiss if he possessed Observation Haki of his brother's level.
Strange feelings? Sudden rapid heartbeat? It was all nonsense. There was too much distance between them. Even if Su Xiao was shot from such a distance, he would only be able to sense the danger once the bullet was within range of his intuition.
*Click-click-click...*
Su Xiao turned the metal wheel on the Duke of Nirvana and the crosshair moved up a couple microns.
On the same huge rock, Bubtny suddenly stood up on his hind legs, which meant that Cracker wasn't moving.
Su Xiao took a deep breath and his heart started beating slower and slower.
The human head was very small, so that the error in calculations could not exceed 5 centimeters..
His finger slowly pulled the trigger. When he pulled the trigger, his heart almost stopped beating. The beating of the heart caused the body to tremble slightly, which could eventually cause the bullet's trajectory to deviate by more than half a meter.
*BOOM!*
The bipods under the Duke of Nirvana took on the recoil.
The moment the bullet flew towards its target, Cracker raised his hands and was about to clap.
— I would like to finish it quickly, and how dare this simple pirate go against his will... " but before Cracker could finish, he heard a loud crack, followed by rocks falling on his body.
The bullet whizzed right into the back of Cracker's head.
With a crack, the purple hair flew in all directions, along with pieces of the skull.
— A-A-A-A-H!!! The first thing Cracker did was scream hysterically. He was different from the overwhelming number of strong people. He hated pain and couldn't take even a simple injection.
He was very much afraid of pain.
The chaise longue he had been lying on immediately flew several meters to the side, and the Cracker itself rolled on the sand.
With a crash, it stopped right by the water's edge. He hadn't been killed by that shot, but the back of his head had a large hole in it, and his skull had been shattered where it had hit him.
Cracker's body was shaking slightly. Although he didn't die, such a powerful blow was able to partially damage his brain.
On the fourth floor of the villa, Su Xiao quickly pulled the bolt immediately after firing and pulled the trigger again.
*Whew~*
Along with a terrifying whoosh, the bullet hit the sand next to the Cracker, forming a three-meter-wide sand pit.
The second shot did not reach the target, but Su Xiao immediately pulled the bolt after the shot was fired. He aimed at the target in just a few seconds, then pulled the trigger again.
With a wild whoosh, the bullet passed just a meter away from the Cracker.
The powerful shockwave knocked him half a meter to the side.
The distance was too great. At this distance, hitting a ship and hitting a person were completely different things.
The Duke of Nirvana could be hit with five rounds at a time, so he only had two attempts left .
Su Xiao fired his fourth shot without hesitation. This time the bullet went straight for Cracker.
With a whoosh, a shadow appeared in front of the Cracker.
*BOOM!*
Yellow sand shot up into the air, but a light wall that almost immediately turned black appeared in front of Cracker just in time.
However a hole as thick as a thumb immediately appeared in this wall.
But she achieved the desired result — the trajectory of the bullet was changed. The appearance of this wall was not a coincidence, but a necessity. The man who could predict the future had arrived. As a blood relative and participant in this battle, this monster was certainly able to see that his brother, Cracker, would soon die.
Cracker was still lying on the sand, his body twitching from time to time. He struggled to get up, but he couldn't.
He was attacked, but he did not even understand where and who.
A sharp whistle suddenly rang out in the sky.
Doflamingo was already rushing toward the two of them at full speed.
