Chapter 34. Karl: Do you make the rules or do I make them?!

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, many pirates present, even the blue young man in question felt like laughing. 

Is this really the important point you want to highlight? 

Unfortunately, although I wanted to laugh, I couldn't do it anymore... 

Van Agur's question just now became the last word he heard in this world. 

Due to the impact of the bullet, his body could not continue to advance, and he simply fell on the spot. 

At that moment, people could see a grape-sized hole in the blue-haired young man's heart, much larger than those of the previous pirates. 

That shot had directly exploded his heart, and blood gushed out instantly. 

It was not a simple stream of blood, but a fountain gushing out, demonstrating the weapon's power. 

Perhaps, the blue-haired pirate ascended to the sky without even feeling the pain. 

This scene made everyone present unable to help but tremble, they got goosebumps and remained static. 

No one would have thought that the sniper, who should have stayed in the dark, had such terrifying combat ability. 

Obviously, it seemed impossible to hit the shot, but he did it, so easily that it seemed effortless. 

In contrast, the blue-haired pirate, who had prepared and moved quickly, ended up being killed as easily as if he were a clown. 

This strong sense of contrast made no one dare to underestimate this sniper. 

At such a close distance, such a precise and deadly technique was too special and terrifying. 

"To dare to challenge Van Augur like this and then run away...!" 

"Yes, it's like the old star that keeps rising. You should know that this great pirate from East Blue had a bounty of 30 million Berries when he was first offered a year ago!" 

"That's what pirate captains usually receive! At East Blue, that's a very high payoff." 

"It's terrifying to have him here. You should know that he is only a sniper and now has a reward of 64 million!" 

(T/N: Van Agur's bounty until further notice is 64 million, so the comment of a bounty of 30 million is a simple addition from the original author to give more noise to the character) 

Among the crowd, some who were familiar with Van Augur saw this scene and began to speak. 

In general, as viewers, it is inevitable to exaggerate what is said, but at this moment, people's discussions were completely real! 

100% pure, nothing fake! 

Sniping, a rare profession, is even rarer than powerful fighters and swordsmen. 

Also, except for the crews of a Yonkou, most pirates don't pay much attention to snipers. 

Not even the Marines put them on the same level as the fighters! 

Therefore, if a sniper on a normal ship can have a reward similar to that of a combatant, it is quite high... 

Of course, except for Usopp, after all, this is the man who was given the title of 'God'. 

And Van Augur, not belonging to a large team and relying only on his sniper ability to fight alone, made the Navy offer a considerable reward for him. 

In one year, he was offered a total of two bounties on his head: the first was 30 million and the second was directly 64 million Berries. 

What does this mean? It's hard to understand, but his reward proves that he's a rare talent at sea, a real diamond! 

If you think about it, a sniper with a bounty of 64 million is definitely on the same level as pirate captains or fighters with a bounty of more than 100 million. 

Even, just because he dared to shoot Ace without any scruples in the original trajectory, and compared to Yasopp without pressure, the gold content as a talent is much larger. 

You should know that at that time, Blackbeard hadn't formed a crew with him for a long time. How could he have had time to strengthen his strength? It was all based on his own skill! 

"No... He committed a foul, yes! He committed a foul!" 

"He hasn't been in the square for a long time, he's not qualified to participate in the evaluation!" 

"I'll ask the two captains to act and execute this filthy bastard!" 

At that moment, the clamor of several pirates was heard. 

Obviously, they weren't much different from the blue-haired young man from before, and they had something to do with the pirates who were killed by Van Augur. 

Unwilling, but unable to defeat him, they now focus on Karl and Blackbeard, hoping that the two most powerful beings present will help them get revenge! 

"Oh?" 

"Do you set the rules or do I set them?" 

Before Van Augur could explain his position, Karl spoke first. 

It's just that the people he interrogated weren't Van Augur, but the pirates who allowed him to shoot. 

"Could it be that you're teaching me how to do things?" 

Hearing this icy voice and seeing Karl's cold face, the pirates broke out in cold sweat, shivering all around, not daring to say another word... 

"As I just said, the selection has already begun." 

"He did it after I announced it, and he completely complies with the rules!" 

Karl didn't bother to explain any further, he just dropped these two sentences in a hurry, showing that Van Augur had acted within the legality of the contest, no longer paying attention to the complaints below. 

"Zehahahaha, well done, man!" 

Seeing this, Blackbeard couldn't help but give Karl the thumbs up. 

That's right, this guy is self-indulgent again, thinking that Karl knows he's interested in this person, and deliberately so as not to embarrass him, he's giving him a chance... 

This means that Karl does not know true thoughts of this kind; otherwise, he would inevitably make fun of him. 

Why is your face so important? What's so special about giving people such a strong impression? 

"Did you hear?" 

"The gentleman said I'm not breaking the rules!" 

At that moment, Van Agur's indifferent voice sounded again, and at the same time, he pointed the sniper's cannon at the pirate who took the initiative in attacking him. 

"No, I don't want to..." 

*Bang* 

Before he could beg for mercy, another shot was fired! 

The bullets from each shot are obviously different, this time the power is greater! 

Before everyone's horrified eyes, the pirate who took the initiative exploded and died in an instant. 

With such a simple shot, a rough and alive pirate was directly reduced to scattered pieces of meat... 

The visuals were pretty shocking! 

"Wihahahahahaha, hasn't it all started? Why are you being so calm?" 

"I don't like to be pretentious. Since everyone is so calm, I'll do it first!" 

Just as Van Augur hit another shot, Burgess laughed and waved his hand! 

The pirates closest to him suffered instantly and those two huge fists turned them straight into beef burgers...
