"Damn it! They're fighting here!"
While Fang Yi was hiding from Charlotte Linlin everywhere, Bucky had reached his destination. Looking at Zefa and Newgate fighting in the distance, his first reaction was to run away immediately.
Whether it was Zefa or Newgate, they were not opponents he could defeat. But just as he was about to run away, he suddenly stopped.
"Wait... They're all fighting here, which means..." Bucky stroked his chin, a strange smile appeared on his face, then he turned around and ran towards the port.
And Shanks, who had reached the Celestial Dragons' palace, quickly found the place where Rocks had imprisoned the Celestial Dragons. After all, Rocks never expected that someone would be able to get past him and come here.
So after Shanks distracted the guards' attention, he launched a direct sneak attack and got the prison keys, rescuing all the Celestial Dragons.
On the other hand, Longbread, who had rescued Charlotte Linlin, used special means to finally make her regain consciousness.
"That damn kid... Next time I lay eyes on him, I'll surely kill him!" Although Charlotte Linlin was now mentally clear, she still felt uncomfortable after taking a blow from Rocks.
"Alright, although it's a bit of a headache, since things have come to this, we can only think about ourselves! Go to the Celestial Dragons' palace and get more treasures, then start forming our own pirate group!" Longbread shook his head and frowned, saying, "Pedropero should also be almost ready!"
"Alright~ Alright alright~ It's high time we did this!" Hearing Longbread's words, Charlotte Linlin's mood finally improved a bit, and she said happily, "The nun once said that her favorite world is a world without war and where all races are equal! So I must build such a country. Maybe the nun will appear then!"
However, when Longbread heard the word "nun", his expression became a little unnatural. Fortunately, Charlotte Linlin didn't notice at this time.
"Boom boom boom~~~"
As time passed, the battle in God Valley had lasted for a full day and night. As Wang Zhi, John and others were defeated one after another, all the members of the Roger Pirates, except for Captain Roger who was still in the fight, had almost gathered together.
"Still haven't found those three kids?" Rayleigh frowned and asked.
"Someone saw before that Charlotte Linlin of the Rocks Pirates grabbed Fang Yi and rushed into the central battlefield. What happened later is not clear! As for Bucky and Shanks, there's no news at all!" Yameng replied anxiously with a worried face.
Now the situation was very clear. The Navy and the pirate alliance had fought each other to a standstill. Both sides were too exhausted to continue fighting, so they had stopped.
Several senior cadres of the Rocks Pirates were guarding different directions, but strangely, none of them came to support their captain. The most important port passage was in the hands of Vice Admiral Zefa of the Navy. Due to Edward Newgate and Shiki the Golden Lion beside him eyeing menacingly, Zefa was unable to come for reinforcement.
So now, the Roger Pirates, who had defeated their opponents, began to gather slowly. But it was only then that they realized that the three interns on the ship had disappeared!
"In that case... Pethem, which direction is Charlotte Linlin in?" Rayleigh asked the sniper Pethem after pondering for a moment.
"I'm not sure. The whole urban area has been completely destroyed now, and the whereabouts of those senior cadres of the enemy are so strange. I can't tell if they've set up any more traps. And we can't even find the Celestial Dragons! It's just terrible!" Pethem said somewhat dejectedly.
So where was Fang Yi at this time?
It had to be said that he was really unlucky. After finally getting rid of Charlotte Linlin, Fang Yi went to the place where he had agreed to meet Shanks and waited. But even after the appointed time had passed, no one showed up.
So Fang Yi, who was a bit worried, decided to go to the Celestial Dragons' palace to look for Shanks first. Just my luck, he ran into Charlotte Linlin and Chang Mianbao, who were also looking for treasures there.
The situation couldn't have been more awkward...
Anyway, as soon as Fang Yi saw them, he turned around and ran. He didn't care if he could escape or not. He just ran first.
And what about Charlotte Linlin, who was holding the treasure chest? She also didn't expect to run into Fang Yi here again. So after being stunned for a moment, she threw the treasure chest to Chang Mianbao and chased after Fang Yi directly.
Why say "again"?
Because Chang Mianbao always felt that he had seen this scene somewhere...
"Yo, pretty sister... Why do you keep chasing me? I've already given you the cake. It was your captain who broke it. You should go after your captain!" Fang Yi shouted at Charlotte Linlin behind him while running.
"Kid... You're looking for trouble!" It was okay that Fang Yi didn't mention it. Once he did, Charlotte Linlin got even angrier.
One chased and the other fled, and soon they left the urban area.
Fang Yi felt extremely unlucky today. He had attacked Charlotte Linlin so many times, but none of his skills had been triggered.
Fortunately, the opponent was also injured, so she didn't catch up with him. After leaving the urban area, there was a forest, which made Fang Yi feel that he had finally reached his home ground.
His teacher, Yamon, was a jungle warrior and was best at jungle combat.
"Kid, you can't escape! Come out right now!" After entering the forest, Charlotte Linlin suddenly found that she had lost sight of her target.
"Phew~" Fang Yi was hiding motionlessly on a big tree, waiting for Charlotte Linlin to leave.
He was able to escape from the urban area thanks to the inheritance of agility. That thing that was like chocolate beans had brought him an increase in strength that was even no less than that of skills.
During this year, he obtained a total of three Small Inheritances, including two Inheritances related to strength and one related to agility.
Including the ones he had consumed previously, his strength had increased three times in total, and his speed had increased twice. These improvements had brought about significant changes, which was also one of the reasons he could constantly overpower Shanks on the ship.
As one of the future Four Emperors, Shanks was growing at an astonishing pace. Buggy, who had joined the ship at the same time as him, had been left far behind. Only Fang Yi, with the help of a system, could barely maintain an edge.
"Kid, I've spotted you! Don't think you can hide from me, ya little punk!" Charlotte Linlin was still shouting nearby.
However, Fang Yi wasn't fazed at all. He closed his eyes, ignoring where she was, and even tried his best to slow down his heartbeat to the minimum.
A powerful fighter like her was extremely sensitive to stares and killing intent. Fang Yi was certain that if he couldn't resist looking at her, she would definitely detect him.
Ignoring her shouts, Fang Yi closed his eyes and slowly raised his bow.
Blind Shooting!
This wasn't a skill but an ability he learned from Yamon. Without using his eyes, he could locate the enemy by listening to sounds and then shoot an arrow without seeing the target.
This ability, developed by jungle warriors, was due to the fact that in the jungle, tall trees and dense bushes could shield the enemy, making it impossible to spot the prey just by eyesight.
Fang Yi was now planning to use this ability to launch a surprise attack on Charlotte Linlin.
Staying here would only lead to his discovery sooner or later. It was better to take a risk.
After mentally mapping out the surrounding environment and Charlotte Linlin's position, Fang Yi didn't shoot the arrow immediately. Instead, he activated a skill: Charging.
Charging (Non-upgradable): Enter the charging state. You cannot move, but your next attack will deal 200% of its normal damage!
"Whoosh!"
When the arrow left the bow, it was like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for Charlotte Linlin.
Although Fang Yi's arrow was incredibly fast, just as it was about to hit her, she suddenly turned around and punched the arrow. Grinning, she said, "I've found you... little ol'... um..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a sharp pain in her chest. At the same time, her head felt as if it had been hit by something, and she became drowsy.
Fang Yi couldn't believe his eyes. The simultaneous activation of Precision and Stun skills from that single arrow had such an effect.
Seeing Charlotte Linlin standing there motionless, Fang Yi didn't hesitate. He immediately stood up, took out a special arrow, and shot it straight at her heart.
As he shot the arrow, Fang Yi took off running.
He didn't think he could kill her like this. Moreover, what could he say about the Stun skill?
It didn't have much effect against such a powerful opponent. Once, he triggered the Stun Skill effect during a sparring match with Jabba. However, the stun only lasted about one or two seconds. For Fang Yi, these brief moments were far from enough to turn the tide of the battle.
"Boom~~~"
When the arrow Fang Yi shot hit Charlotte Linlin, it exploded immediately.
These were special arrows he and Pethem had come up with. The arrow tips were filled with gunpowder and would explode upon impact.
The smoke from the explosion provided Fang Yi with perfect cover, allowing him to escape Charlotte Linlin's sight.
"You little brat... I'll never let you get away with this!" Even when Fang Yi had run a long way, he could still hear Charlotte Linlin's furious roar, which made him quicken his pace in fright.
"What bad luck! I've bumped into that woman twice!" Hiding by the coastline, Fang Yi muttered to himself with a bitter smile.
He didn't dare to move around recklessly now, for fear of running into Charlotte Linlin again.
Moreover, he'd just noticed that the Stun Skill seemed to have a better effect on Charlotte Linlin than on Jabba.
He wondered if it was because the system judged that Charlotte Linlin's strength was inferior to Jabba's at this moment, or because the Soul-Soul Fruit had started to affect her mental strength, making her more susceptible to the Stun Skill.
