Chapter 101 The White Shinigami Hunted By Kaido
Call out!
A cold light flashed, and the vacuum slash cut through the air, slicing three buildings in the port with precision.
The sniper dodged the slash and kicked the enemy away. He raised his gun, aimed, and fired—all in one fluid motion.
The instant the gunshot rang out, the head of the Iron-Slaying Swordsman exploded, blood and flesh splattering across the sky.
At that moment, the roles of prey and hunter seemed to reverse.
An Iron-Slaying Swordsman who can use Haki was as weak as an ant in front of a seriously injured sniper.
Instantly killed!
"Oh? This guy's Haki is pretty good too," Enel observed, noting the sniper's skill.
Being able to avoid the Zhan Tie Jianhao's sneak attack in time showed he had Observation Haki. The fact that he could break the Armament Haki defense of the Iron Swordsman and headshot him proved he also possessed Armament Haki.
A top-tier sniper who could use two types of Haki was a rare sight.
"It's really good, and it seems like he's worth recruiting," Lucifer commented.
His ship lacked both a ship doctor and a sniper—two rare and valuable talents. A powerful sniper was born, not made, and talent alone could make them a top-tier marksman.
And now, one had delivered himself right to Lucifer's door.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was another gunshot. This time, the sniper fired three shots in quick succession, killing three pirates instantly.
With his continuous sniping, more than half of the pirates chasing him had already fallen.
And this all happened within just two or three minutes.
Finally, the pirate ship chasing behind docked.
Hundreds of pirates rushed off the ship and toward the sniper.
But the sniper fought and retreated, continuing to take down pirates, killing over a hundred before only half remained.
Even the pirates leading the charge couldn't withstand his shots, each one piercing them through the head.
Guns were generally seen as weak in the world of One Piece, but in the hands of a true master, they were deadly.
The remaining pirates, terrified, began retreating in panic.
"It's really stupid."
Lucifer shook his head slightly.
Enel understood what Lucifer meant.
In front of a top sniper, showing your back was as good as asking to die.
As expected, the sniper continued to stand his ground, shooting relentlessly. The fleeing pirates became easy targets, only waiting for their turn to fall.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunshots rang out continuously, and each pirate fell, headshot and bleeding.
Soon, all the pirates had been eliminated.
This man had wiped out a 200-man squad from the Beasts Pirates while severely injured.
Cough, cough, cough!
After killing the last of the pursuers, the sniper coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggering but still standing.
He used his sniper rifle as a crutch to keep himself upright, though he was on the verge of collapsing from exhaustion.
His body was severely injured, losing blood, and his energy was almost spent. Yet, he maintained consciousness, which was nothing short of remarkable.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Suddenly, a burst of applause rang out.
"Who is it?"
The sniper immediately became alert, raising his gun and aiming it backward.
A single bullet shot out, aimed precisely at Lucifer's forehead.
Lucifer raised his hand and caught it effortlessly, pinching the bullet between his fingers.
"Nice Haki," Lucifer commented with a slight smile.
He relaxed his fingers, and the bullet fell to the ground.
"You are... the demon Lucifer!"
The sniper's eyes widened, clearly recognizing Lucifer's identity.
He took a few steps back, holding his sniper rifle tightly in both hands, prepared to shoot and flee at a moment's notice.
Lucifer's notorious name was now known throughout the world. No one would remain unafraid.
"Those who dare to kill Beasts Pirates... you're no small player."
Lucifer smiled.
"It's none of your business!"
The sniper's voice was hoarse, yet there was a clear aura of killing intent.
"It's really none of my business."
Lucifer shook his head with a smile. "I'm just interested in you."
"White Shinigami, Simon Haye... I'm not mistaken, am I?"
Lucifer calmly observed the sniper.
"Ah, yes, it's me."
Simon Haye admitted his identity without hesitation.
"It's quite embarrassing, though. Who would have thought that the famous White Shinigami would end up in such a miserable state?"
"You don't look like a White Shinigami anymore. You look more like a stray dog."
Simon Haye, the renowned sniper in the New World, was known as the White Shinigami. He was the captain of the Shinigami Pirates and had a bounty of 335 million Baileys.
It was said that Simon Haye could shoot a mosquito between the eyes from over two thousand meters away—his sniping skills were legendary.
However, he had somehow provoked Kaido and was now hunted relentlessly.
If Lucifer was right, the ship that had just been destroyed was the main vessel of the Shinigami Pirates. Judging by the situation, the entire crew was likely dead, and Simon Haye was the only survivor, severely injured.
"Seems like your life is tough, but you survived."
"But if you've offended Kaido, there's no place for you in the New World."
"Even if you survive today, the next wave of pursuers will be here soon."
"If I'm not mistaken, those soldiers just now were only from the Beasts Pirates. The real monsters are yet to come."
Lucifer spoke lightly, eyeing Simon Haye.
"Yeah, my poor life is tough, but my crew is dead!"
"But if they want to kill me, it's not that simple!"
Simon Haye laughed bitterly, gripping his sniper rifle tightly, his anger and unwillingness evident.
The Shinigami Pirates were wiped out, and he alone remained, hunted by the Beasts Pirates.
The once-feared White Shinigami seemed to have lost everything.
But a man who has lost everything can be the most dangerous—he has nothing left to lose.
A person like this would fight to the death against the Beasts Pirates.
Although it was futile.
After all, his enemy was Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, standing at the pinnacle of the pirate world.
Simon may be strong, but he alone could never defeat Kaido.
"Would you like to join my crew?"
Lucifer suddenly asked.
"What?"
Simon Haye paused, clearly taken aback. But soon, his eyes shone with renewed hope.
Without hesitation, he staggered toward Lucifer, despite his injuries. He bent his knees and knelt before Lucifer.
"Please, I beg you, avenge me!"
"I'm willing to give everything—even my life!"
Before Lucifer could respond, Simon Haye repeatedly kowtowed.
He did so with such sincerity that after a few strikes, his forehead was bleeding.
His violent movements pulled at his wounds, causing fresh blood to spill from his chest and form a small pool beneath his feet.
But Simon didn't seem to feel the pain; he continued to kowtow.
At that moment, Lucifer was Simon's last hope.
Even if it meant sacrificing his dignity and ambition, Simon Haye clung to this chance.
Enel, watching the scene, laughed softly.
Usually, he despised people like Simon—those who begged for mercy with no dignity. But at this moment, he couldn't bring himself to hate Simon Haye.
Cavendish, Baby5, and the others arrived and silently watched. No one looked down on Simon.
After all, he wasn't giving up his dignity to survive; he was giving it up for revenge.
"Get up first. You'll die if you keep this up."
Lucifer gestured, pulling Simon Haye to his feet.
The sniper's face was pale, blood drained from his body, a sign of the severe blood loss he had endured.
"Baby5, treat him. Don't let him die."
Lucifer ordered.
"Yes, Captain Lucifer."
Baby5 hurried over, carried Simon Haye aboard the Nether, and began giving him emergency treatment.
"Captain, this guy offended Kaido. Are we really going to let him aboard?"
Cavendish asked Lucifer quietly.
"What about Kaido? Others may fear him, but not me."
