"It's Van Augur!"
Gin was the first to react, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Our support is here!"
His body, which was already on the verge of its limit, now squeezed out the last bit of strength.
A layer of flowing white bones flowed out of Gin's body and condensed into a cannon on his shoulder.
"That guy is proficient in Armament Haki and has a special ability. This attack can't kill him, Lucci, and Zoro. Stop that guy and find a chance for Van Augur!"
"Understood!"
The two of them responded, then took a deep breath, stepped forward at the same time, and rushed towards Who's-Who in the distance in an instant.
With Van Augur joining the battlefield, the balance of victory has already tilted towards the White Knight Pirate.
Gin unleashed his last bit of strength and fired the bone cannon on his shoulder again. A wave of air gushed out, and a bone bullet blasted toward the Who's-Who at a speed far exceeding that of sound.
Boom!
Who's-Who barely dodged the bone bullet by turning sideways, but he felt dizzy and couldn't even maintain his Human-Beast Form, at this moment, his body felt extremely weak.
"Something's wrong!"
"Sea Prism Stone bullets?!"
Who's-Who was shocked and terrified, especially when he saw Lucci and Zoro coming towards him.
He ignored the pain and raised his hand to forcefully knock the Sea Prism Stone bullet off his forehead. Only then did he feel some strength returning to his body.
"Roar!"
After a roar, Who's-Who transformed into Human-Beast Form again. He repelled the attacking Zoro and Lucci. When he was about to kill them, he felt an inexplicable chill.
"It's the sniper!"
In a moment of panic, Who's-Who looked around, but all he saw was the vast ocean behind him and the endless snowfield in the distance.
Even though he had already mastered the Observation Haki, he still could not sense the location of the mysterious sniper.
"Retreat!"
"If I keep fighting here, I'll die!"
He had fought in battles for more than 30 years and had thought that guns, cannons, and swords no longer posed a threat to him.
But the feeling of being on the edge of death at this moment made him truly understand how terrible a top sniper could play in a battle.
"He should have been there a long time ago, but he was just waiting for the right moment to turn the tide of the battle!"
"That's why he shot at the moment when I was most proud and relaxed!"
Thinking of this, Who's-Who felt a chill down his spine. He no longer cared about anything else and just retreated.
At this moment, a burning figure appeared in the sky, whistling from a distance like a red meteor streaking across the sky.
"King!"
"I'm here!"
A hint of joy flashed in Who's-Who's eyes.
King saw Who's-Who's miserable state and then looked at Gin and the other two, who were covered in blood in the distance, with a trace of surprise in his eyes: "White Knight Gawain has a strength that can rival mine. Even his subordinates, if they join forces, can fight Who's-Who to this extent?!"
"Monster!"
He couldn't help but let out a sigh, then swooped down, grabbed Who's-Who's body, and rushed towards the distant sky.
"Damn it!"
There was a flash of reluctance in Lucci's eyes.
After fighting to this extent, he wanted not only to repel Who's-Who, but also to keep him here forever!
"We are just going to let him get away like that?!"
"I really can't accept this, ahhh!"
Zoro groaned, then felt weak and fell on his back. It was obvious that the long battle had exhausted him.
At this moment, his opponent fled, and the string that had been supporting him was instantly broken. He completely lost consciousness, and only the rising and falling of his chest proved that he was still alive.
Gin, on the side, also lost the strength to fight again. Looking at Who's-Who disappearing in the distance, his heart was filled with indescribable unwillingness.
This was especially true after seeing the smug smile on Who's-Who's face.
High in the air, Who's-Who looked at the three figures that were getting smaller and smaller and couldn't help showing a hint of pride in his eyes.
He raised his hand, scratched his neck, and mouthed: "Next time."
"I will kill you all!"
"Yeah?"
Far away, on a mountain, Van Augur saw Who's-Who's movements through the scope; he looked indifferent and murmured: "It's a pity you won't have a chance."
Van Augur took a deep breath and then pulled the trigger…
Bang!
Fire flashed from the muzzle.
The recoil pushed his body backward, and the bullet created a series of sonic booms in the air and shot towards Who's-Who…
Whoosh!
Who's-Who only felt that his chest was hit by something, without any pain, only an indescribable chill.
He lowered his head and saw a bullet hole through his heart, with blood gushing out.
Who's-Who opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak. The blood that was pouring out had blocked his throat.
He followed the direction from which the bullet came and finally saw the person who attacked him, a tall and thin man holding a rifle with a muzzle like a trumpet.
At the moment he's the most relaxed, the other party attacked him, what a terrible man!
The next moment, Who's-Who completely lost consciousness.
"Who's-Who?!"
King realized something was wrong and stopped to look, only to find that Who's-Who he was holding in his hand had become a corpse.
He was burning with rage, but when he noticed the red figure rushing towards him from behind, he felt as if cold water was poured on his head.
The one-on-one battle just now has proved that before seeing through Gawain's weakness, it would be impossible for him to even defeat the other party, let alone capture Gawain alive as Kaido ordered.
Now, even if he was unwilling to admit it, he had already lost the battle to this point.
King said nothing, holding onto Who's-Who's body, and he flew away into the distance; at this moment, the resentment and anger in his heart burned more and more fiercely.
The battle has just begun!
The time he discovers Gawain's weakness is the time for him to defeat the other party!
Gawain fell to the ground with a bang. Seeing that Gin and the others were only injured and not in danger of death, he felt relieved.
When he learned the full story of the battle from the crew and Gin, his expression became more strange when he looked at Lucci.
"He fights Who's-Who to this extent?!"
"And no matter how you look at it, the best option for him was to follow Gin's instructions and leave with Kalifa…"
"Is this a true feeling from being an undercover agent?!"
Gawain was confused, but he didn't show it on his face.
In short, before the system truly recognizes Lucci and Kalifa and provides them corresponding bonuses, the other party's heart is not with him.
No matter how Lucci and Kalifa perform, they will never be included in the category of his own people.
Moreover, human beings are extremely complex creatures. It is normal for them to take actions that are inconsistent with rational judgment and interests because of momentary emotions.
A few minutes later, Van Augur hurried over from a distance.
He looked at the three wounded men, and seeing that they were not seriously injured, he looked at Gawain, his chin slightly raised, and his eyes were full of pride: "Does it still depend on the favor of fate in the end?"
"I know you're awesome."
Gawain shook his head helplessly and laughed: "I'll leave these three wounded to you. Help them with emergency treatment. Also, contact Kalifa and the others who have been evacuated and have them return to the ship and wait for orders."
"Now that the Beast Pirates have been repelled, I will go to support Kuro."
After saying this, the wings on Gawain's shoulders instantly unfolded, a pair of dragon wings with a wingspan of nearly ten meters, and with a light flap, it pushed his body forward into the distance.
In a few seconds, he disappeared into the clouds.
