However, Basire was only shocked for a moment and quickly recovered. Now Van Augur was his enemy.
If he dared to shoot and sneak attack him, then he better be prepared to die!
'Shoot it! Shinsō!'
Basire raised his right hand and pointed it at Van Augur. A sharp barrier spike extended at an extremely fast speed, stretching hundreds of meters in an instant, and penetrated all the way towards the sniper.
Basire felt that Bartolomeo's development of barrier stairs that were hundreds of meters in the original work was a waste of energy and he had not yet developed these extremely lethal offensive weapons.
Just when the spikes were about to reach Van Augur's back, the guy unexpectedly swerved to the right and avoided the long spikes that were about to puncture his heart. The spikes instead penetrated the ground, leaving a deep hole.
"Is it Observation Haki or just his sniper intuition?"
Seeing him dodge the blow, Basire continued to chase after him. He was indeed a crew member that Blackbeard valued, and he did have some ability.
"clang~! ! !"x3.
Three more shots were fired, causing Basire's pursuit speed to slow down a bit. However, Van Augur, who did not manage to hit the target for the second time, ran for a while and stopped in an open space, waiting quietly for Basire to catch up.
"Captain Basire, do you believe in fate?"
Seeing Basire chasing after him aggressively, Van Augur spoke first before Basire could speak.
"Ho~! My fate is in my own hands, and your fate is also in my hands now!"
Basire heard that Van Augur seemed to be interested in looking for a crew, and he immediately showed some interest.
However, he dared to shoot him twice, so if he didn't give him a good answer, he would stick Van Augur's rifle into his mouth and fire seven shots in a row. Damn this guy!
"Captain Basire's fate seems to be very strong. I wonder if you are missing a sniper on your ship?"
It seemed that he felt a hint of murderous intent from Basire, but this made him even more satisfied. This was exactly the type of captain he wanted.
Van Augur snipes and tries to kill the potential captain he likes, not only to test the target's strength and fate, but also to show his own strength to the target.
If the target is dead, then of course there is nothing to say.
But if the target survives, then it meets his criteria to become his captain. After all, this is the initial island of the Grand Line. He, a pirate with a bounty of 64 million, is like a boss.
Now he just wants to see if this captain has the courage and temperament necessary.
"Betrayal is death on my ship."
Basire glanced at Van Augur, and then said lightly, it seems that this sniper has not yet obtained the teleportation fruit ability, and his strength is just like this. Although he has some potential, he is not absolutely necessary for the crew.
"Of course, my captain! I believe in my fate, and I believe in your fate even more!"
Van Augur slowly took off his hat and saluted Basire, expressing his surrender.
Basire didn't expect to recruit one of Blackbeard's initial crew, which was too dramatic.
However, he remembers that Blackbeard Marshall D Teach always had 0 bounty in the original story, and he became a Shichibukai even then.
It wasn't until after the Summit War, when he became the new Yonkō, that Blackbeard's bounty soared to 2,247.6 million beri, and then within a year, it soared to 3,996 million beri.
Blackbeard, who had an estimated 0 bounty, also relied only on his strength to conquer these initial crew members.
Of course, it's also possible that Blackbeard subdued these crew members one by one with the temptation of taking away someone else's Devil Fruit ability and giving it to them.
Basire is now the most famous Supernova in the world this year. He had already gotten a bounty of a hundred millions when he first entered the Grand Line. No matter how you look at it, he looks like a captain with unlimited potential. The key is that he is still very young.
It's not surprising that this kind of monster newcomer can attract some villains to seek refuge with him.
After accepting the addition of Van Augur, Basire returned to the port with this new sniper with a bounty of 64 million Beris. Is this guy going to become the number two person on the ship?
At this time, the fighting at the port was already very fierce, because Basire went after Van Augur, which made these bounty hunters even more excited, and they all started to hunt down the bounty criminals of the Big Daddy Pirates.
It's best to leave before Basire comes back. Earning 10 to 20 million is more than enough!
With a scream, Pin Joker with a bounty of 9.9 million Beris was also killed by these crazy bounty hunters from the Grand Line. His body was chopped into pieces and his head was snatched away.
Bear King saw that another crew member of the original Trump Pirates had been killed, and he immediately went crazy. Three of the five Trump brothers were already dead.
Skunk One had been hacked to death by Basire. Today, Boo Jack and Pin Joker were also cut into pieces by bounty hunters. Now he is the only one left along with Honey Queen.
Bear King went crazy and with his fruit ability activated at full frequency, his body turned completely red and rushed towards these bounty hunters. He ran rampant along the way, killing many people, leaving the place with the smell of barbecue meat.
"Only the first battle in the Grand Line and already two members of the crew died."
Basire brought Van Augur back to the port battlefield. The quality of the bounty hunters here is many times better than the garbage at Whiskey Peak. No wonder Van Augur was looking for targets on Martell Island.
Seeing that a member was killed again, Basire didn't have much trouble in his heart, because this is a pirate journey that puts your life on the line.
"The deaths of these weaklings are also chosen by fate."
Van Augur said calmly, while he was also observing the strength and potential of the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates.
"The Eternal Pose of the original Seven Wine Mountains, can they be purchased in the bounty hunter's dark market?"
Basire turned to him and asked. He had just heard Van Augur say that he had been on the initial islands of the seven routes in the past few years.
Bounty hunters even have fixed passenger ships that transport guests back and forth on these initial islands to make money. There seems to be the shadow of some underground emperor behind them.
"In recent years, I have also heard that Whiskey Peak on Route 4 has been controlled by a bounty hunter organization called Baroque Works. I have not been to that island for a long time."
"If the captain is not in a hurry to enter the New World, I have a few Eternal Poses of the Seven Wine Mountains."
Still looking expressionless and indifferent, he took out a few Eternal Poses from his backpack and said calmly to Basire.
Basire didn't expect that the Grand Line had so many Eternal Poses.
Damn it, who was it that said that you can only follow the Log Pose?
These are all lies. They are just bullying newcomers to make it easier to capture them. After all, when Pirates follow the Log Pose it's really easy to predict their destination.
At this moment, on the fourth route, Nico Robin was using Whiskey Peak's Eternal Pose to return to the initial island to see if she could intercept the Big Daddy Pirates.
Members of Baroque Works have a large number of Eternal Poses, and almost every one of their cadres has an Alabasta Eternal Pose.
They also have a large number of Eternal Poses of the islands within their sphere of influence to facilitate the return of managers.
