Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Several gunshots rang out, and one biscuit soldier after another shattered under the bullets.
"One of the Sweet Commanders, Totto Land's Minister of Biscuit. A Biscuit-Biscuit Fruit user. Doesn't seem like much."
Yasopp stood ahead with his gun over his shoulder, smiling.
In the distance, Charlotte Cracker gritted his teeth as he glared at the man.
The moment they exchanged blows, his biscuit soldiers had been taken down one after another by that guy's shots. Even the biscuit armor protecting his real body had been blown apart.
Left with no choice, Cracker had been forced to fight with his true body.
Cracker glared at him viciously.
"Let's see how many bullets you have."
As he spoke, he began clapping his hands.
Clap, clap, clap, clap!
With Cracker's hands clapping again, yellow smoke swirled around him. Before long, biscuit soldiers with thick beards and fierce expressions appeared, each carrying a sword.
Yasopp looked at the biscuit soldiers with disdain and fired three shots forward.
Bang, bang, bang!
The biscuit soldiers beside Cracker shattered on the spot.
Yasopp calmly reloaded, then fired at Cracker himself.
Bang!
A biscuit soldier quickly blocked in front of him.
The next second—
Crack!
The biscuit soldier shattered, and the bullet pierced through it, still flying toward Cracker.
Clang!
Cracker drew the sword on his back and split the bullet apart. Looking at the biscuit soldiers he had created, he realized only a few were left again.
Cracker clenched his teeth, kicked off the ground, and rushed toward Yasopp.
At the same time, he spun the sword in his hand at high speed, coated it in Armament Haki, and thrust forward.
Whoosh!
A spiral sword aura shot from Cracker's blade, carrying tremendous force as it attacked Yasopp nearby.
Yasopp dodged the sword aura.
He was a sniper. Why would he fight in close combat?
Boom!
The spot where Yasopp had stood was blasted apart by the spiral sword aura.
Bang, bang, bang!
Yasopp fired while moving, refusing to give Cracker any chance to close the distance.
"Bastard!"
Cracker gritted his teeth and dodged the bullets. If he really could not avoid them, he cut them apart with his sword.
He did not dare take them head-on, because that bastard's bullets occasionally contained Seastone. Earlier, he had almost been hit once.
Seeing another sword aura miss, Cracker could not help cursing loudly.
"Bastard! Do you only know how to run? If you're a man, fight me properly!"
Yasopp dodged the sword aura and even turned back to give him another shot, looking at him as if he were an idiot.
"What is that look?" Cracker's face darkened.
"Pretzel Roll!"
He rushed forward quickly, his sword releasing a powerful sword-aura shockwave as he thrust ahead.
Yasopp dodged again.
Boom!
The rock beside him was blasted apart.
Yasopp looked at the furious Cracker.
"I'm a sniper. Normally, I shoot from the shadows.
"This time, I'm fighting you directly only because we don't have enough people. You want me to clash with you head-on? Do you think I'm stupid?"
The moment Yasopp finished speaking, fireballs shot toward him from another direction, carrying blazing heat.
"Hm?"
Yasopp flashed away and avoided the fireballs, then looked over.
A tall man stood there, with fluffy orange hair, a pink bodysuit, and a face with sharp teeth similar to Katakuri's.
Yasopp spoke calmly.
"The thirteenth son of the Charlotte Family, Charlotte Basskarte? A flame user. Troublesome."
"Brother Cracker, let's attack together!"
Charlotte Basskarte sprayed fireballs in every direction, attacking Yasopp and sealing off his movement.
Cracker wasted no words and sent another sword aura at Yasopp.
"Tch, this is getting a little troublesome."
Yasopp raised his gun and shot at the incoming fireballs.
Bang, bang, bang!
The fireballs shattered, but the flames fell to the ground and continued burning.
Yasopp did not panic. He fired at the sword aura.
Bang!
The bullet shot straight toward the spiral sword aura.
"Hahaha! Using a bullet against my sword aura? Are you brainless?"
Cracker burst into laughter at the sight.
The next second, with a boom, his sword aura scattered.
"What?"
Cracker looked completely disbelieving.
That was his sword aura, and it had been broken by a bullet?
"Heh."
Yasopp opened fire on both of them.
Since he could not run, he might as well go all out.
Clang, clang, clang!
"Damn it. Be careful. This guy's bullets carry Haki, and some have Seastone."
Cracker split the bullets apart while warning his younger brother.
Charlotte Basskarte was startled. He had been about to ignore those bullets, but after hearing that, he immediately dodged.
Clap, clap.
Cracker clapped his hands, and two biscuit soldiers appeared beside him.
Bang, bang!
Two shots struck the biscuit soldiers.
"Hm?"
Yasopp frowned.
They did not break?
"Heh. If you could shatter even these, would I still have the face to sail this sea?"
Cracker sneered and rushed toward him with his sword.
Charlotte Basskarte cooperated, constantly firing small fireballs at Yasopp.
Yasopp fought while observing.
"So that's it. If you control too many biscuit soldiers, your focus can't keep up.
"But if you only control two, their flexibility and attack power rise sharply."
Bang!
Yasopp leapt away.
The spot where he had stood was carved into a deep pit by a biscuit soldier's sword.
Yasopp loaded Seastone bullets and fired six shots in a row at Charlotte Basskarte, who was supporting from a distance.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Charlotte Basskarte's face was full of contempt.
Bullets hitting him?
As he dodged left and right, four bullets all missed.
Smack!
Then he slapped the fifth bullet aside.
He was just about to mock him when he saw another bullet flying toward his chest.
Splurt!
The Seastone bullet entered his body, and Charlotte Basskarte instantly lost all strength, collapsing to the ground.
"Basskarte!"
Cracker was startled. He turned back, and his attacks on Yasopp grew even more vicious.
"Bastard! Bastard! You dare hurt my brother? You're dead!"
Yasopp retreated while fighting, firing a shot from time to time, but he did not finish Basskarte off.
If he really killed him, this would become a fight to the death.
Their goal was not to fight Big Mom to the end, but to use her crew as a stepping stone to ascend to the throne of the Four Emperors.
As he retreated, Yasopp mocked,
"No wonder people on the sea say that aside from Charlotte Linlin and Katakuri, the Big Mom Pirates are all trash."
Cracker's eyes burned with fury.
"Shut your mouth, bastard! Big Mom is not someone a small fry like you can provoke."
His sword madly slashed at Yasopp, and the two biscuit soldiers cooperated with him, constantly attacking.
Unfortunately, Yasopp's footwork was too fast.
If White Ghost saw this, he would probably make a comment.
People always said snipers were quick, but he never expected one to be this quick.
