Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

"Tell me your purpose in coming to this village! As long as you don't harm the villagers, I will do everything in my power to help you!"

"Hai, what's wrong?"

Just then, Nami ran up after Zoro, looked at the strange-nosed guy in front of her, and asked in confusion, "Who is he...?"

"The person I want to invite..."

Glancing at the slingshot and small package peeking out from Usopp's waist, Huang Hai smiled slightly and asked bluntly, "Have you ever used a sniper rifle?"

"A sniper rifle? Never handled one before..."

Taking the slingshot from his waist, Usopp thought for a moment. Although he didn't know why the other person asked that question, he still calmly replied, "But I've heard of flintlock rifles. In terms of accuracy and range, although my slingshot isn't far enough, it can still do things that a sniper rifle can't..."

Invite him?

Upon hearing this, Nami and Zoro subconsciously looked at Usopp.

However, no matter how they observed, they couldn't find anything particularly remarkable about this guy, except for his extremely ordinary nose and appearance.

"Attack me!"

Suddenly, Huang Hai stared at Usopp and said calmly, "Attack me with your slingshot. If you hit me even once, I promise you I will never harm a single person in the village..."

"make a deal!"

Usopp responded to the other party without hesitation.

After all, what he has been most proud of since birth is his shooting talent.

It was as if it were an innate talent; as long as something he aimed at was within the range of his slingshot, it would hit the target with absolute certainty.

This is his confidence, and also the only option he has at the moment.

Otherwise, given the speed at which the other party approached silently, there would have been absolutely no way to resolve the situation.

I am still... too weak!

Gripping the slingshot tightly in his left hand, Usopp reached into the small pouch at his waist with his right and calmly asked, "Should we change locations? Or should we start right away?"

Regardless of the other party's purpose, he absolutely cannot fail for the sake of the villagers!

"Go ahead!"

With a light tap of his foot, Huang Hai sprang to the rear, giving the opponent ample space to fire.

"Then I'm not welcome!"

Before he finished speaking, Usopp's calm expression suddenly turned into one of extreme focus. With lightning speed, he took out a stone bullet from his pack, skillfully loaded it, and before Huang Hai even landed, the stone bullet had already shot out, hurtling towards his landing point.

What an amazing shooting talent...

Huang Hai, who had been watching Usopp's every move, saw how skilled Usopp was, able to accurately predict his landing point and shoot the bullets without any deliberate aiming. A slow smile appeared on his lips.

As the descendant of the strongest sniper by the side of one of the Four Emperors, this is the kind of performance he should have!

Let me see where your limits really are!

Thinking of this, Huang Hai stomped his foot, and transparent ripples bounced in the air at a high frequency. With a 'bang', he leaped up and forcibly changed his landing point.

what? !

Seeing that his opponent could leap into the air, Usopp's pupils contracted slightly, but he remained focused and calm. He instantly adjusted the trajectory of his slingshot, and stone pellets shot out in succession.

shhhhhh!

Bang bang bang!

The bullets were like arrows, each one hitting Huang Hai with perfect accuracy.

But Huang Hai dodged them all with ease, like a fish swimming in the water.

Gradually.

Realizing that the opponent's strange movement was even more difficult to deal with than a bird, Usopp's focused eyes flashed with contemplation. With subtle adjustments without moving, he launched projectiles little by little, setting up a cage-like trap in the air, trying to force Huang Hai into a dead end.

"If he had fired any faster, he would have hit me by now..."

While dodging, Huang Hai quickly saw through the other party's hidden intentions, smiled slightly, and decided to go along with the other party's idea, voluntarily stepping into the trap.

The opponent's shooting talent has been clearly demonstrated.

Given the limitations of the weapons, he was already quite surprised that he could achieve this level of skill.

After all, he's using the elastic version of [Moonwalk] now. Although he's not using his full strength, he's still managed to push himself to this extent...

"very good!"

Extending his fingertip, Huang Hai deflected the stone bullet aimed at his brow, smiled, and with a sigh of admiration, descended towards the hillside where the three of them were.

However, before he even landed...

A piece of information suddenly appeared in my mind.

[Talent Acquisition: Sniper x46 (Gold)]

[Sniper: Shooting talent is amplified 46 times by ordinary people; when wielding shooting weapons, they can maintain a state of 'focus'...]

Oh?

It's only four times worse than the [Sword Demon]...

Moreover, it also comes with a [focus] effect...

See this.

Huang Hai glanced at Usopp in surprise. Although he had considered the possibility of acquiring the other's shooting talent, he did not expect it to be so astonishing.

aside.

Having witnessed the spectacular shooting scene, Zoro and Nami couldn't help but stare at Usopp in astonishment.

No wonder Hai was able to extend the invitation...

So it was because of their shooting talent...

Chapter 58 So that bastard isn't dead yet?

"Hey!"

Seeing Huang Hai land, Usopp frowned.

"Why did you deliberately let me hit you? You could have easily dodged it with your speed..."

"Aren't you happy that you won?"

As the [Sniper] talent merged, a golden glint flashed in Huang Hai's eyes. He turned to look at Usopp's right arm, its veins bulging as he crossed it, and smiled slightly, "As a promise, we won't cause trouble or harm anyone after we enter the village..."

"But this is not the victory I wanted!"

Usopp stared intently at Huang Hai, frowning as he said, "I believe that with my skills, I will be able to hit you sooner or later, instead of ending things inexplicably by letting you win!"

"Then would you like to join my pirate crew?"

Meeting the other's eyes, Huang Hai smiled and said, "If you join us, you can challenge me anytime. How about it? Think it over?"

Uh……

Upon hearing this, Usopp was slightly taken aback, his expression becoming somewhat bewildered.

Suddenly, he couldn't understand what the other party wanted to do.

The guy who was clearly going to consider him an enemy is now suddenly inviting me...

"why?"

Usopp asked doubtfully, "Given your speed and the strength you didn't show just now, you should look down on a weakling like me..."

"I know very well that my only strength is perhaps just a little bit of shooting talent, how could you..."

"Weak?"

Huang Hai chuckled and shook his head, saying meaningfully, "Don't underestimate your shooting talent..."

"I once saw a guy with the exact same nose as you. He was one of the world's strongest marksmen, and he must be one of the best now!"

"Just like my nose..."

A vivid image flashed through Usopp's mind, and he immediately realized what was happening. He stared intently at Huang Hai and gritted his teeth, saying:

"You're talking about Yasopp, right? What's your relationship with him?"

"Huh? Is that your first reaction?"

Seeing the hatred on the other person's face, Huang Hai paused, no longer intending to continue teasing, and instead said calmly, "I've met you a few times when we were kids, so you could say we know each other."

"What? You hate him?"

"...So that bastard is still alive?"

Usopp looked up, his face expressionless, but his eyes revealed a mocking look.

"A bastard who abandoned his wife and children can actually become the world's best marksman. Just how utterly worthless must the people ranked after him be..."

If that bastard hadn't abandoned him and his mother, his mother wouldn't have died so easily, and he wouldn't have been an unwanted child growing up. If it weren't for the villagers' help, he wouldn't have survived at all!

But that bastard never came back even once!
