Chapter 30: Iron Vergo Block! The Battlefield Sniper Xiaoze
Chapter 30: Iron Virgo Block! The Cold-Shot Ozro Roaming the Battlefield!
Triser slapped Virgo’s shoulder with a resounding thud, clearly full of enthusiasm.
“Inviting me to hunt down the Block unit members of the Don Quixote family?”
Virgo was utterly bewildered.
“Please, can you find someone else?”
But recalling his “naval identity” and the current perilous naval skirmish, Virgo was stunned for a long moment, unable to find any reason to refuse.
“My comrade! I knew you wouldn’t say no!”
Triser took Virgo’s silence as consent.
Or rather, Triser had anticipated that Virgo, a pirate undercover in the navy, wouldn’t have any way to decline unless he wanted to reveal his identity now.
Having just acted out a clumsy performance, how could Virgo give up his naval cover?
“I saw you knock that old pirate flying just now—was that the Iron Block extension technique?”
Triser found a new rifle nearby, checked the ammo, and nodded in satisfaction.
“Uh, yes,” Virgo stammered.
“I really like the Iron Block ability, so I’ve been very dedicated in training—”
“Excellent! I like Iron Block too!”
Triser cut him off.
“Since your Iron Block skill is so advanced, let’s team up! You hold the front line; I’ll snipe the pirates from behind!”
Virgo: “...”
This was completely different from the original plan!
The young master wanted me to become a “battlefield hero” through this fight!
How did this turn into being a meat shield, standing in front of others?
Without giving Virgo time to react, Triser stood behind him and raised his flintlock rifle to shoot.
Bang! Bang!
Two gunshots rang out.
Two pirates fiercely fighting the marines immediately bloodied their foreheads and collapsed, lifeless.
“That sharpshooter again!”
“There are only two of them over there!”
“Brothers! Take them down!”
The fearless pirates gathered, many raising guns and aiming.
“Virgo! Use Iron Block!”
Triser commanded like issuing orders to a Pokémon, directing the meat shield in front of him. At the same time, he emptied the last three bullets from his flintlock, taking three more pirates’ lives.
“Reloading now! Buy me some time, my good comrade!”
Virgo clenched his fists tightly, arms trembling slightly. Taking a deep breath, tears gleaming in his tiger-like eyes, he used the Sixth Style like an impenetrable wall, standing firm before Triser.
“Iron Block! Ha!”
Thud! Thud! ...
Gunfire and bullets rained down on Virgo but bounced off like hitting a protective shield, only tearing some clothes without causing harm.
After the pirates’ volley ended, Triser finished reloading, then unleashed a fierce barrage, driving the pirates into a panicked retreat.
Thus, the duo of Triser and Virgo, masters of offense and defense, swiftly became a spectacle aboard the navy warship.
Wherever they went, chaos reigned, and pirates fell without exception!
Roaming the battlefield, Triser was like a grim reaper harvesting lives.
Every gunshot marked a pirate’s death.
...
At the lookout of the pirate ship.
“What exactly is Virgo doing?”
A man wearing a red cloak, with two vivid red vertical marks on his face, scratched his chin in puzzlement at his “comrade’s” actions.
“This isn’t quite the plan Doflamingo described…”
This man was Diamante, a senior officer of the Don Quixote family, codenamed “Block,” and a user of the Flare-Flare Fruit.
Though he saw Virgo had driven Rao G off the navy warship, the distance was too far to see the full battle details, and he thought Rao G had truly been “dealt with” by Virgo.
“Enough waiting! The Block unit is losing members too fast… The strength of these elite navy trainees is beyond expectations!”
Diamante gripped his saber at his waist, held his breath, and with a heavy swing aimed at the navy warship.
“Half-Moon Funeral!”
A solid wave of sword energy surged from the saber’s blade, sweeping like autumn wind clearing fallen leaves, fiercely slashing toward the navy warship, as if to split the vessel of reinforced steel in two!
Diamante had just used this sword technique to slice apart all gunpowder shells attacking the pirate ship.
Besides his Flare-Flare Fruit ability, Diamante was a formidable single-sword master, wielding the Flying Slash skill!
Many on the navy warship noticed the powerful Flying Slash and rushed to counter it.
For a moment, countless white vacuum slash waves propelled by the Sixth Style’s Gale Kick bombarded the Flying Slash, seeking to destroy it midair.
The two slash waves clashed with a deafening roar, like thunderbolts striking in the sky, sending a violent shockwave rippling in all directions.
Amid this, Diamante took center stage!
On the navy warship, Triser tentatively raised his flintlock and fired toward Diamante, but the bullet’s trajectory was distorted midair by the lingering shockwaves, losing accuracy.
“Useless navy scum! Let me send you off with a brilliant farewell cannonade!”
Diamante pulled out several special salutes from his pocket, shooting a flurry of fluttering paper fragments into the sky.
The light papers transformed into razor-sharp thorny iron balls high above, then fell like a dense, terrifying iron rain!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The navy warship erupted into chaos and confusion as both the marines aboard and the pirates who had boarded were caught under the iron rain, becoming targets.
Triser reacted swiftly, stepping behind Virgo, placing his left hand on Virgo’s shoulder and gripping his pants with his right, lifting him overhead as a “human shield.”
Virgo: ...
“Use Iron Block! Virgo!”
Triser shouted from below.
“Protect yourself at all costs!”
Virgo: ...
After the iron rain passed, the navy warship lay in ruin.
At this chaotic moment, the pirate ship pressed tightly alongside the navy warship suddenly underwent a strange transformation.
Accompanied by an unheard sharp voice, a mass of rough, hard gray rocks surged from the pirate ship’s hull, flowing like liquid to envelop the vessel, turning it into a colossal stone sphere!
The sudden increase in weight overwhelmed the sea surface’s capacity to support the pirate ship.
With a towering wave, the “stone sphere” plunged into the deep sea, disappearing from sight.
