One Piece: Under the Throne

The first round of competition ended successfully, bringing the event to a climax.

"Thank you Mr. Lucky Lu and Mr. Charles for bringing us a wonderful match. Now, please let Luffy announce the content of the second match."

Luffy wiped the oil off his mouth and looked around, and found a long-nosed guy shaking the pistol in his hand at him. That guy was none other than Jesus Bu. He always showed off his marksmanship to Luffy when he had nothing to do. The accurate shooting skills made little Luffy admire him very much.

"Let's compete in shooting!" Luffy laughed and waved at Jesus Bu: "Come on, Uncle Jesus Bu."

Shh! Accompanied by a round of boos, Jesus walked to the center of the field and said, "Who wants to be my opponent? Come out quickly."

Shanks laughed loudly on the judges' panel, "We have Leo winning this match. No one can beat Jesus Bu in shooting."

Leo didn't care: "What a coincidence, I also have confidence in my companions, let's wait and see."

Gloria is the one fighting on the side of Flowing Life. Although the girl usually likes to swing a sledgehammer, naval battles are still mainly based on long-range attacks. As the ADC in the team, Gloria's shooting skills are also superb. Combined with the weapons developed by Leo, she has been turned into a human cannon.

Gloria came to Jesus with two crossbows. Jesus exclaimed, "Crossbow? Little girl, I admit that your weapon is good, but the distance and speed of crossbow arrows cannot be compared with bullets. If you want to play an advantage at sea, I advise you to practice your shooting skills well."

Gloria squinted at Jesus Bu and said, "Tsk! Stop preaching to me. I hope your shooting skills are as strong as your nose." Gloria, wearing a maid outfit, looked like a cute girl to everyone, but her true nature was exposed as soon as she opened her mouth. After Afu's constant persuasion, the girl's rebellious psychology was successfully aroused, and the eldest lady has now become a rebellious and violent bad girl.

Jesus Bu felt that he was being implied. What right did you have to slander people with long noses? It seemed that it was necessary to teach this rude girl a lesson.

Although it is a shooting competition, Leo suggested that everyone should not just do regular target shooting, as that would be too boring. After discussion among the four judges, it was decided to adopt a point system. First, 50 red and blue balloons are released. 1 point is awarded for bursting a balloon. Only after all of your own balloons have been burst can you shoot at the opponent's balloon.

Then there are the moving human targets. Each team has 4 people, each with a moving target on their head. Hitting one person gets 5 points. Jesus and Gloria can only shoot the target on the other team's head, and the target needs to dodge as much as possible. After hitting all the targets, you can shoot the last fixed target. The fixed target stands at the entrance of the town, 1 km away from the square. Hitting the fixed target gets 30 points, and you are only allowed to shoot three times. If you miss three times, you can no longer attack.

Shanks was very confident in Jesus's shooting skills and his companions' dodging ability, so he added a condition: if one party completed the last level first, the other party had to finish shooting within 10 seconds. If they exceeded the time limit, it would be regarded as a forfeit.

The last one undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the game. It not only tests the shooter, but also the companion who plays the role of a human target. The longer the delay, the greater the advantage of the ADC. If you can dodge all the time, there is no need to compete.

All the villagers watching held balloons in their hands, and the human targets also climbed onto the roof. Gloria and Jesus stood in the middle of the venue, ready for the game.

玛琪诺示意村民放飞气球：“双方选手准备，10、9、8……2、1Ready go！”

At the command, both contestants drew their weapons instantly. Jesus Bu held two guns, and Gloria held two crossbows. They shot wildly at the balloons in the air. The sound of the balloons exploding was endless, and soon most of them were cleared out.

Unfortunately, Jesus Bu's pistol only had 5 rounds in the magazine, and he had to reload immediately after shooting. Jesus Bu scattered the bullets into the air, and then waved his hands to complete the reloading. Although his movements were swift and gorgeous, he still let his opponent pull away, because Gloria's crossbow magazine had twice the storage capacity of a pistol, and changing bullets only required replacing the magazine.

After some operations, the score between the two sides was 60 to 40. Gloria emptied her balloons and grabbed 10 of Jesus' balloons. Then it came to the shooting of human targets, which was also the most exciting part of the game.

On the Flowing Life side, Will, Childs, Alfred and Victoria acted as human targets, while on Shanks' side, Ben Beckman, Lucky Lu, Lime Jones and a monkey participated.

Seeing that they were being targeted by the opponent's ADC, the seven people and one monkey instantly entered combat state, with red light flashing in each of their eyes.

Bang, bang, bang, whoosh, whoosh, the double guns and crossbows started shooting. After a series of operations, all the attacks missed. The human-shaped target figure kept flashing, and bullets and crossbow arrows passed by one after another. Only Victoria did not move. A plant appeared in front of her, and its vines were waving wildly like a tentacle monster.

Seeing Victoria blocking the attack in this way, Shanks on the judges' bench immediately protested: "Cheating, you are cheating, everyone is dodging, how can you use the power of the fruit?"

Leo curled his lips and said disdainfully: "What are you yelling about? Which rule stipulates that devil fruits cannot be used? If you have the guts, you can send someone with special abilities to fight."

"You are shameless!"

"Haha, bite me!"

Seeing that the captains of both sides were about to fight again, Makino quickly intervened: "After friendly consultation among the judges, it has been decided that strange abilities can be used. Come on, sister Victoria. Beauty is justice and you are cute, so whatever you do is right."

Shanks:......

After a round of shooting, Gloria and Jesus both frowned. Both sides thought that they had encountered a strong enemy and it was time to use their ultimate moves.

Gloria shot at Monkey and Ben Beckman at the same time. The latter reacted immediately. Gloria then attacked the other two. Lime Jones and Laki Lu also dodged. Then Gloria pulled the trigger again, and the arrow shot out hit the four arrows that were still flying, successfully changing the direction of the arrow.

The first four arrows shot out drew arcs in the air and flew towards the point where the opponent was dodging, while the four arrows that changed direction flew towards the predicted landing points of the four people.

Thanks to Gloria's brilliant skills, only Ben Beckman and the monkey managed to dodge, while the other two were hit by the crossbow arrows on the targets on their heads before they could dodge.

"Beautiful, long live the young lady." Leo cheered wildly from the judges' seat.

On the other side, Jesus Bu also demonstrated the pinnacle of shooting skills, using shooting to induce the target to dodge, causing Will and Charles to be careless and almost collide with each other. Then Jesus Bu used the technique of chasing the stars and catching the moon, and the two guns fired one after the other. The bullet of the latter hitting the former increased the flying speed and successfully hit the target on Will's head.

The remaining players are 3:2, and the fierce competition continues.

Soon Jesus kicked Childs out in the same way. Now only Alfu, Victoria, Ben Beckman and Monkey are left in the field.

Of the remaining four people, three had superb attainments in Observation Haki, and one had a special ability. They were all tough guys who were not easy to deal with. No matter how fancy Gloria and Jesus shot, they failed to hit any of them.

The second level had been going on for 10 minutes with no result yet. Jesus Bu glanced at the eliminated Laki Lu and rolled his eyes. During the break in shooting, he snatched the barbecue from Laki Lu's hand and threw it out, aiming it in the right direction to pass over the plants.

Victoria was standing behind Miss Tentacle bored, when suddenly a meaty aroma entered her nose. She saw a piece of roasted meat with bones flying by. The girl's eyes lit up and she reached out to grab the roasted meat, while also moving her body out of the protection of the plants.

Jesus' eyes focused, and he used the Star Chasing Moon Technique again, finally hitting the target at the same time the girl caught the barbecue.

Leo cursed loudly on the judges' panel: "I've long known that you, a long-nosed man, are not a good person. You even lied to little girls." Shanks was already laughing to tears.

Gloria glared at Jesus Bu and said, "It's just bait. How can you be more powerful than me, the user of the hunting fruit ability?" She did it as she thought. She snatched a banana from Luffy and threw it at the monkey.

Then he raised his crossbow and aimed. Two crossbow arrows flew out, just predicting the monkey's movements. Jesus showed a wicked smile, and he turned his wrist and accurately intercepted the crossbow arrows with two bullets: "Little girl, don't think you can beat me with this trick."

Gloria sneered disdainfully: "Really? Then take a good look at the monkey's head." I saw that a crossbow arrow had hit the target carried by the monkey. It turned out that Gloria had expected that the other party would make trouble. When she threw the banana, she shot a crossbow arrow hidden under the banana. The monkey was only concerned with catching the banana but did not notice the shadow arrow behind it.

Jesus blew a whistle and said, "You are amazing, little girl. You have the potential to become a top sniper."

"Humph! You don't need me to tell you. If it's a life-and-death fight, I'll let you see my big hammer."

Jesus cloth?

The second level finally came to the match point. There was only one person left on each side, but he was the strongest in the team. No fancy techniques or conspiracies would be of any use against these two people.

Ten minutes later, both ADCs were running out of mana, and their mental strength was almost at its limit. Gloria narrowed her eyes and used her ultimate move. She stomped her foot on the ground and jumped into the air, firing six crossbow arrows at the same time to block the opponent's movement. Then the girl turned in the air, revealing her two long white legs in white silk stockings as her skirt fluttered. Ben Beckman's pupils instantly dilated, and his eyes stared at the mysterious area motionlessly.

Suddenly, a crossbow arrow flew out along the swing of the maid's skirt and hit the target accurately.

On the other side, when Gloria used her special move, Mr. Afu immediately stood still and loudly rebuked: "Gloria, as a lady, how can you make such an indecent move? Stop it immediately."

And it was during this pause that Jesus Bu also hit the target.

After passing the second level, both ADCs changed their weapons. Gloria took out the compound longbow, and Jesus Bu also took out the long-barreled flintlock musket. One drew the bow and arrow, and the other made a straight line and delivered the final blow at the same time.

Gloria was a little slower than Jesus Bu because she needed to accumulate strength to attack. The flintlock bullet first hit the bull's eye one kilometer away, followed by a sonic boom. Boom! The arrow and the target were destroyed together, leaving only a big crater in the place where they were.

Shanks, who was on the judges' bench, was so shocked by this blow that his jaw dropped to the ground, while Leo, who was standing next to him, looked proud: "See? Look at the accuracy, and then look at the power. What can you compare with me? If it's a naval battle, Gloria can sink your ship with just one shot."

Oh! Warm cheers broke out in the square, and everyone cheered for the wonderful game between the two sides.

"Now, please let Luffy announce the winner."

Luffy showed a sunny smile: "Uncle Jesus Bu and the bad-tempered big sister are both amazing."

"Oh, the two sides have reached a tie again. Now, please allow the judges to make the final decision."

A heated argument broke out among the judges this time. Leo felt that Gloria was superior in both speed and power, but Shanks said that Jesus had more outstanding skills and strategy. In the end, the argument was settled only when the old village chief reminded everyone that this was a points race.

Leo sat back in his seat with a confident look on his face. Yes, what we are competing for is points. Gloria was leading by 20 points in the first round. Victory will always be ours.

The old village chief took the microphone and said, "Now I will announce the results of the second round. In the first round, Gloria scored 60 points and Jesus scored 40 points. In the second round, both sides scored 20 points. In the third round, Jesus scored 30 points if he hit the target, and Gloria scored 0 points if there was no arrow on the target.

The final result of the points race is Gloria 80 points: Jesus 90 points, Jesus won. "

"Black curtain, this is naked favoritism, old man, there is something wrong with you." The result of the game made Leo furious, but no matter how he protested, the result was a foregone conclusion, and members of both teams began to drink with their arms around each other's shoulders.

Looking at the happy scene, Leo gave up arguing and jumped into the crowd to join in. However, in this joyful atmosphere, there was a person who was doubting his life in an unnoticed corner. Ben Beckman sat alone against the wall with his legs hugged, his eyes dull and muttering to himself.

"Why? Why boxers? Damn leggings."
