"Boom~~"
"Haha... Whitebeard! I've found you. I'll definitely take your collection today!" Bucky, holding a long sword, looked at Whitebeard in front of him and said with a laugh.
After the two pirate ships got closer, the battle began.
Bucky didn't expect that he was so lucky to directly encounter Whitebeard.
Yes, at this time, the Roger Pirates had completely suppressed the Whitebeard Pirates. Bucky thought they were sure to win this battle, so he didn't run away after meeting Whitebeard.
"Bucky! This guy is not easy to deal with. Be careful!" Shanks beside him said seriously.
They are no longer the kids who used to follow Fang Yi. And when fighting against the Whitebeard Pirates, there was no need for Fang Yi to stay with them. So now only they two were facing Whitebeard directly.
"Gurarara... It's you two brats! Where's that guy with the bow? Why isn't he coming?" Whitebeard said with a faint smile.
"Humph, we're enough to deal with you!" Bucky thrust his long sword forward and charged straight at Whitebeard.
"Bucky!" Seeing this, Shanks could only helplessly follow Bucky and charge forward.
"Bang! Bang!"
Whitebeard waved his naginata, and Shanks and Bucky fell directly to the ground.
"Newgate!" At this time, Roger also rushed over. He was delayed a bit because of Jozu's obstruction just now, but he wasn't worried about Shanks and Bucky at all. Because when the two pirate crews clashed, it was more like a friendly spar. They wouldn't be too harsh. Those who were defeated would sit aside and rest, making room for those still fighting.
"Gurarara... Roger, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Whitebeard's eyes lit up, and he directly slashed at Roger with his naginata, completely different from how he dealt with Shanks and Bucky just now.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The battle continued. In a corner of the deck on the Whitebeard Pirates' ship, Bucky, Shanks, Marco, and Jozu were sitting together watching the battle between Roger and Whitebeard.
"Hey, weren't you two interns just like Fang Yi? Why is he still fighting while you two are sitting here?" Marco threw an orange to the two of them and asked with a smile.
"You're an official crew member, aren't you sitting here too?" Like Fang Yi, Bucky never admitted defeat with his mouth.
"Although we boarded the ship only a little later than Brother Yi, his talent is really amazing. We can't compare with him!" Shanks said with a bitter smile.
Even Bucky, who didn't want to admit defeat, didn't refute this point. He had long been convinced by Fang Yi.
"Do you think that kid is a monster? He awakened qi at such a young age..." Just thinking about being defeated by Fang Yi again made Marco indignant. He really thought he could defeat Fang Yi this time and avenge his previous defeat, but he was still defeated.
"Well..." Shanks and Buggy glanced at each other. They really wanted to say that Haki wasn't anything special, and Fang Yi's archery skills were truly monstrous. Especially that move where no matter if you dodged or blocked, you'd still get hit. During their usual sparring sessions, Shanks had suffered a great deal from it.
However, it was obvious that Marco, who had only fought Fang Yi a few times, hadn't realized the truly terrifying aspect of Fang Yi yet.
"Shave!" Facing Sachi's surprise attack, Fang Yi quickly tapped the ground with his feet and disappeared from his original position.
"What a troublesome guy!" Seeing Fang Yi appear in the distance with his bow already aimed at him, Sachi couldn't help but frown.
"Flame Arrow... Hit!"
"Whoosh~"
Fang Yi shot a flaming arrow at Sachi. This was also one of his skills.
"Flame Arrow (LV.2) 192/300: Shoot a flaming arrow at the enemy, causing fire damage!"
Just like the Frost Arrow, it was a skill he could actively use, no longer one that relied on luck.
However, the improvement this skill brought to him was relatively limited. Unlike his previous skills, which either didn't trigger or could turn the tables once triggered.
"Clang!"
Perhaps due to the flame, the speed of the arrow decreased a bit, so Sachi directly blocked it.
"Ugh..." But Sachi, who had blocked Fang Yi's arrow, covered his right arm and took several steps back. The short knife in his hand even fell to the ground.
Sachi looked at Fang Yi in surprise because just now, he felt as if he'd been hit by an arrow. The pain in his right arm and the burning sensation told him that the Flame Arrow Fang Yi had shot just now seemed to have really hit him. But he was sure that he had truly blocked the arrow because the arrow he'd blocked was lying on the side at this moment.
"Heh heh... You're lucky!" Fang Yi naturally knew what was going on. With the Skill Precision as high as level four, the probability of it triggering was as high as forty percent, so he wasn't surprised at all that Sachi had been hit.
However, next, Fang Yi didn't continue to use the bow. Instead, he slung the Shooting Sun Bow on his back and took out a dagger, then rushed towards Sachi.
Since he'd met him, it was only natural to claim a reward on this guy.
On the Whitebeard Pirates' ship, except for Whitebeard and Marco, Fang Yi could claim a reward from the future captains. So he took the opportunity during the battle to touch as many of them as possible. When the battle was over, he'd get the remaining lottery tickets. It wouldn't be a waste of this encounter.
"Hey, kid! You're really underestimating me, aren't you? An archer actually wants to fight me in close combat?" Seeing Fang Yi's actions, Sachi was so angry that he laughed.
"Underestimate you? You're the one underestimating me!" Fang Yi curled his lips and said as he got closer.
"Humph!"
Facing the attacking Fang Yi, Sachi easily dodged and then kicked at him.
Seeing this, Fang Yi crossed his arm and blocked Sachi's kick. Then he took advantage of the momentum and swiped his dagger at Sachi.
"Eh?"
As soon as the fight started, Sachi felt that his opponent's close - combat ability was by no means weak, and his opponent was also very strong. At least, his kick just now didn't cause any trouble to the other party.
Dodging Fang Yi's dagger, Sachi took a few steps back to keep a distance from Fang Yi. He looked at the other party curiously and asked, "How old are you this year? You should be about the same age as Marco, right? How come you're so good?"
He judged that Fang Yi was about the same age as Marco because they were about the same height.
"Don't fret. When it comes to age, you guys will definitely die before me!" Fang Yi replied with a grin.
Sachi's face darkened. He now a bit believed what Marco had said. This guy's mouth could really piss people off the qi.
"Take this move!" Fang Yi didn't want to waste any more time chatting with him. The previous clash had allowed him to successfully complete the 'check - in' on the opponent. So he didn't want to keep entangling with Sachi. After a feint, Fang Yi quickly left. Then he rushed towards Bistah, who was fighting with Yamon.
"This little rascal... actually took off!" Seeing Fang Yi actually leave him behind and go to cause trouble for Bistah, Sachi really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
When he reached Yamon's side, Fang Yi didn't launch a sneak attack on the opponent. Instead, he stood directly in front of Yamon and said, "Teacher Yamon, leave this guy to me! You go and take a rest!"
"Hehe... Then you should be careful. This guy is not weak!" Yamon didn't mind at all and said with a soft smile.
But Bistah frowned. Yamon was okay, but Fang Yi... was just a kid. Moreover, he had also witnessed Fang Yi's fight with Marco before. It was obvious that this guy was an archer.
"Don't underestimate me, or you'll regret it!" Fang Yi naturally noticed that the other party was reluctant to fight him, so while speaking, he launched an attack.
"Fine... After dealing with you, I'll take care of her!" At this time, although Bistah was using a two - handed weapon, it wasn't a pair of rapiers but a pair of long swords. He was more like an ordinary dual - wielding swordsman.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
"It's a bit interesting..." The two fought at a high speed, and their weapons collided many times in a short period. Bistah felt Fang Yi's strength, so he decided to get serious.
"Tsk... What bad luck!" Fang Yi was a bit annoyed. The trigger rate of the Precision Skill was as high as forty percent, but during the many exchanges just now, it didn't trigger even once.
"Kid, if you're distracted and end up dead, don't blame me!" Bistah spotted an opening. He spun his long sword in his hand and was already in front of Fang Yi.
"Damn it!" He had indeed been a bit distracted just now. He didn't expect to be caught off guard by the opponent. It was too late to dodge now. He could only grit his teeth and block the opponent's long sword with his dagger. However, this put him in a very passive position, and he was completely suppressed by Bistah in the subsequent fight.
Actually, the probability of him triggering skills in close combat is not low. However, unlike using a bow and arrow at a distance, in close combat, although it seems that the two have clashed many times, most of his moves are just parries to block attacks. Even if a skill is triggered during these parrying moves, the target of the skill is only the opponent's weapon, not the opponent themselves.
Moreover, even when he makes an attack, if the opponent also attacks him at the same time and he changes his move midway to block, the target can only be considered the weapon instead of the enemy. This also causes the number of effective skill attacks in close-combat to be fewer than when using a bow and arrow.
"Clang!"
"Kid, go take a rest!"
Bista's twin swords directly swept Fang Yi's daggers aside, then he said with a smile.
Although Fang Yi was very reluctant to admit defeat, the fact was right in front of him.
So after picking up his daggers, Fang Yi walked straight up to Bista and said, "Next time... it'll be you who loses!"
Bista shrugged indifferently. Then he said to Yamon, "Alright, let's continue!"
"Hahaha... Kid, getting distracted during the fight, that's the lesson!" Seeing Fang Yi's defeat, Yamon over there burst into laughter happily.
Fang Yi scowled and ignored her, then walked straight to the corner to find Shanks and Bucky.
