Chapter 127: Advantages Everywhere

At this moment, Sun Long faced a hundred combat crew members. His strength had already been revealed to the world during the battles against the Sandstorm and the Rakshasa Pirates. Although he was a Non-Ability User, his power was undeniably worthy of being called the top executive.

Thus, even when surrounded by a hundred combat crew members, he felt confident in his advantage. However, as soon as the battle began, it turned into a one-sided slaughter, like a storm tearing through dry grass.

The combined strength of these hundred combat crew members was no match for what Xia Ling, Zhao Yan'er, and Xiao Ke, the three vice-captains, had faced.

"Three-Sword Style: Black Rope, Great Tornado!"

Sun Long spun in place, his three swords whirling, unleashing a storm that sent many combat crew members flying. The howling wind was filled with terrifying sharpness, as if blades were cutting through them. Over a dozen combat crew members fell to the ground, covered in wounds.

Sun Long's side still held the advantage.

The alliance of the four major pirate crews tried to console themselves.

"Sun Long is the top executive, so it's normal for him to have the advantage. The others must be..."

They turned their gaze to the new executive, Lu Xiaobu, a Non-Ability User.

"Surely, only the three vice-captains and Sun Long have the advantage. The others must be at a disadvantage."

However, Lu Xiaobu faced a hundred combat crew members with a calm expression. He raised his long rifle, his eyes filled with unparalleled focus and confidence.

"I will become the world's greatest sniper. Now, let me show you what true sniping is."

One of the combat crew members sneered, "I may not have many skills, but I do have one—speed! I'm an Ability User who ate the Swift-Swift Fruit, the opposite of the Slow-Slow Fruit. I can increase my speed!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

His speed was indeed fast, flickering rapidly.

But Lu Xiaobu concentrated, his powerful Observation Haki flaring. His finger gently pulled the trigger, and with a bang, the bullet shot out like lightning, accurately hitting the forehead of the rapidly moving combat crew member.

The crew member's eyes widened in disbelief.

"How... I hadn't even moved to this spot yet, and you already pulled the trigger. Did you predict it...?"

With a thud, he fell to the ground, dead with his eyes wide open.

The death of the Swift-Swift Fruit Ability User sent a wave of panic through the other combat crew members.

Lu Xiaobu didn't give them time to react. He aimed again. Bang, bang, bang—three gunshots rang out, and three bullets, like deadly meteors, struck three rapidly moving pirates. They fell to the ground, lifeless, their blood spreading across the floor.

"We have the numbers! Don't be afraid! Charge at him together, spread out! He only has one gun!"

However, many didn't rush forward, fearing they might be the next target. Although charging together was possible, no one wanted to be the unlucky one. They quickly scattered, seeking cover.

But the gunshots continued. Even those who moved quickly or hid behind cover were pierced through, meeting their deaths.

"Hiding is useless! His marksmanship is too good! Charge together, or we'll all die!"

Driven by fear, their ferocity was instead ignited, and they charged forward as one.

However, Lu Xiaobu quickly retreated, moving and timing his shots perfectly.

Sometimes he moved to positions that seemed incomprehensible, but it soon became clear.

A gunshot rang out, and five pirates fell together, struck by a single bullet.

This made the other pirates realize he was using chain shots.

The gunshots continued, and from then on, it was all chain shots—one bullet taking out multiple combat crew members.

"We can't get close!"

"His marksmanship is terrifying!"

"Run away, we're no match for him! Let the more powerful combat crew member deal with him. His terrifying sniping skills alone qualify him to be an executive of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew!"

...

Terrified and desperate, they fled, but bullets weaved through the crowd of pirates, blood splattering everywhere. In just three minutes, over sixty combat crew members lay lifeless on the ground, each with a single fatal bullet wound.

Xiao Ke sighed softly, "When it comes to marksmanship, Xiao Bu is even better than me."

Ye Yu, who was also in the midst of the battle, noticed this and thought to himself, "As expected of someone who has contracted Yasopp. His marksmanship is truly impressive."

...

Meanwhile, Wang Pangzi, who had contracted Lucky Roux, faced a hundred combat crew members with a childlike smile on his face, munching on a large, juicy chicken leg, grease dripping from the corners of his mouth.

The hundred combat crew members sneered.

"Facing us, and he's still eating a chicken leg? He's really underestimating us."

"Well, he's about to die anyway. Let him eat his fill before he goes."

...

Wang Pangzi finished the chicken leg, cracked his knuckles, and stretched his limbs, the joints making a series of popping sounds.

"Done eating. Time to finish you off quickly and then go help the Captain. He's facing too many enemies."

Whoosh!

Wang Pangzi suddenly moved, astonishing everyone. Despite his size, his speed was incredibly fast, almost too fast for the naked eye to follow.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Pangzi appeared in front of one of the combat crew members. Before the pirate could react, Wang Pangzi delivered a straight punch with the force of a cannonball, slamming into the pirate's abdomen. The punch was so powerful that the pirate was sent flying, vomiting blood mixed with shattered internal organs, and landed twenty meters away, dead on the spot.

This shocked the other combat crew members, who no longer dared to underestimate him.

"Don't let your guard down! He's not ordinary. Surround him!"

The other combat crew members brandished their weapons and charged at Wang Pangzi from all directions.

Wang Pangzi moved like a ghost among the pirates, constantly dodging while counterattacking. Every punch and every kick carried a whooshing sound, each strike packed with immense force, and the screams of pain were unending.

"Damn it, how can someone so fat be so agile?"

"What kind of monster is he?"

"How can a Non-Ability User be this strong?"

...

The live audience was repeatedly shocked, watching as the executives of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew maintained their advantage in every battle.

Even when facing one of the executives, who was accompanied by a monkey, the combat crew members of the four major pirate crews thought they could take on the weaker opponent—the monkey.

But the monkey's strength was also formidable, continuously taking down the combat crew members.

This left the combat crew members in despair.

"Isn't that monkey just his pet?"

"Why is it so strong too?"

"Its combat power is no less than some of the executives of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew."

"What kind of monsters are these executives of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew?"

...

The live audience was stunned because, in every battlefield where the executives of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew fought, they held the upper hand.

This was completely different from what the four major pirate crews and the rest of the world had expected.

"My God, just as Ye Yu said, this battle is not only to show the world Ye Yu's strength but also to demonstrate the power of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew."

"The three vice-captains are incredibly strong, and the executives are no less formidable!"

"Many of the executives are Non-Ability Users, yet they are still incredibly strong!"

...

At this moment, the combat crew of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew was also formidable. Even without a significant advantage, they still held the upper hand in some areas. The only disadvantage for Ba Yu's side was the number of regular and lower-tier crew members, as they were facing a larger opposing force.

However, as the executives and the vice-captain swiftly dealt with their enemies and prepared to assist Ye Yu, Lin Muxue and the others grew anxious.

"Don't let the executives of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew come to reinforce them!"

"How can they be so useless! With so many combatants, they're being taken down so quickly by just one executive."

"If they come over, we'll be at a disadvantage too! Don't let them support Ye Yu."

...

Yet, the combat crew was furious and wanted to retort, "Why don't you try it yourselves? These executives are just too strong."

There was no choice but to bring in more combatants, but this reduced the pressure on the regular and lower-tier crew members of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew. Facing fewer opponents, they gradually gained the upper hand.

Suddenly, across the entire battlefield, the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew began to dominate.

As Lin Muxue and the others fought, they also noticed this and were shocked. Their expressions turned grim, never expecting that this battle would tilt in favor of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew.

Lin Muxue and Wang Quanshi felt regret, thinking they shouldn't have formed an alliance to take on the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew.

Jin Mo and Song Ling were relieved. If it weren't for the alliance with the Azure Dragon Pirate Crew, their two crews alone would have been no match for the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew.

Ye Yu sneered, "What's the matter? Getting nervous?"

Lin Muxue snorted coldly, "Don't get cocky! We have the numbers. In a prolonged battle, you definitely won't last!"
