Duke of Bones, don't you dare wail! This is only the first ship; you still have four warships left!" Alvin yelled at Duke of Bones in the distance, his voice hoarse.
Despite being several kilometers apart, thanks to his Observation Haki for super long-distance perception, Alvin clearly heard Duke of Bones's pig-like roar.
"Ah!!!"
"Damn it, you bastard! All of you, turn your cannons around and blast this suicidal fool to pieces!" Duke of Bones was furious, his angry roar seemingly tearing through the sky.
His roar still echoed in the air as the remaining four warships hastily began to turn around.
On the deck, the soldiers scurried like ants on a hot pan, frantically raising their weapons and aiming them in Alvin's direction, their dark muzzles like ravenous beasts ready to devour their prey.
But how could Alvin give them a chance to fire?
The waves surged, and the jet ski rocked violently in the tumultuous waters, but for Alvin, it was nothing.
He held the sniper rifle steady, his eyes fixed on the scope, took a deep breath, and calmed his slightly accelerated heartbeat from the battle.
Then, his index finger gently pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
A low, crisp gunshot suddenly rang out, and the sniper rifle's bullet, imbued with deadly force, whistled out of the muzzle like a black lightning bolt.
The bullet's surface was wrapped in a thick layer of Armament Haki, as if it had donned an indestructible armor; wherever it passed, the air was instantly torn, emitting a sharp whistle.
In the blink of an eye, this bullet, containing immense energy, traversed the long distance and accurately shot towards the warship flying the Skull Bay flag.
"Boom!"
A deafening, violent explosion suddenly erupted.
This time, Alvin aimed at the warship's ammunition depot, which was the "lifeblood" of the entire warship.
The energy generated by the explosion was like an angry giant beast, instantly erupting with even more terrifying power than before.
Blazing flames shot into the sky, engulfing the entire warship. The shockwave from the explosion, like an unstoppable tsunami, surged outwards.
The seawater was violently churned up by this powerful force, forming a giant wave over ten meters high, like a moving wall of water, aggressively rushing towards the remaining three warships nearby.
"Ah!"
"Help! Someone save me!"
"Your Grace, save us!"
"Wuwuwu, I don't want to die..."
Cries and pleas intertwined, echoing on the decks of the remaining three warships.
Wave after wave of violent shaking completely disoriented the Skull Bay soldiers.
They were like kites with broken strings, mercilessly thrown to the ground by the warship, their bodies uncontrollably rolling and colliding on the deck.
The soldiers were terrified, their eyes wide, their hands desperately grasping, trying to grab anything that could steady them—railings, ropes, ammunition boxes... but it was all in vain.
As the warship violently pitched, their cries were mercilessly swallowed by the howling sea wind and surging waves.
Even the usually imposing Duke of Bones had lost his arrogance now.
The surging waves continuously pounded the warship, each sway making him feel like he could be thrown into the bottomless sea at any moment.
With two warships continuously blown up by Alvin's sniper rifle, these successive blows forced Duke of Bones, despite his raging anger, to calm down.
His mind raced, the cruel reality laid bare: in the vast ocean, at such a great distance, they were utterly helpless against Alvin.
And Alvin was like a grim reaper hidden in the shadows, ready to pull the trigger again at any moment, sending their remaining warships one by one to the seabed.
The giant waves finally receded, and the violently shaking warship slowly stabilized.
However, that thrilling scene had already caused many soldiers to fall into the sea.
They struggled in the icy water, calling out to their companions on deck, but their voices grew weaker and weaker.
Duke of Bones had no time to worry about the fallen soldiers; his mind held only one thought: they must reach shore as quickly as possible! Otherwise, they would all become food for fish.
"Full speed to shore! Quick, everyone scatter, full speed to shore!" Duke of Bones yelled, his voice hoarse and desperate.
His voice carried an urgency he had never shown before.
As a Devil Fruit user, if his warships were all blown up, he would only be able to sink to the bottom of the sea.
The soldiers, as if waking from a dream, finally reacted. The sea was like a man-eating devil; only by reaching shore could they have a chance at survival.
They rushed to their respective posts in a flurry, operating the three warships like startled beasts, speeding frantically towards the Coral Kingdom's Port City.
...
By the Port City shore.
Xavier's face was filled with disbelief; he stared intently at the sea, unable to comprehend how Alvin had so easily blown up three of Skull Bay's warships.
The Coral Kingdom's guards were also stunned by the sight before them, their eyes wide and unblinking, as if under a petrification spell.
They all thought to themselves, Red Hawk Alvin, truly worthy of being the West Blue's top sniper!
Blowing up warships with a sniper rifle—they had never even dared to imagine such a thing before, yet now it was happening right before their eyes.
But before anyone could recover from the shock, with a loud "boom," another warship was blown up, the violent explosion instantly devouring all life on board.
Flames shot into the sky, and thick smoke billowed upwards, forming a terrifying shadow of death over the sea.
The people on the other two warships were scared out of their wits, completely disregarding their companions, frantically rowing their oars like madmen.
Their faces were filled with terror, their eyes fixed only on the direction of the shore, as if it were their only lifeline.
"Boom..."
"Rumble!!!"
The previous explosion still echoed over the sea, and the fourth warship also turned into a sea of fire under Alvin's precise sniping.
Scorching flames licked the sky, and debris splattered everywhere, falling into the sea with crackling sounds.
At this point, only the last warship remained, which was Duke of Bones's flagship.
Duke of Bones's heart was in his throat; he could almost hear his own thunderous heartbeat, constantly feeling as if the warship beneath him would explode in the next second.
The warship was only a little over a hundred meters from the shore, but Duke of Bones could no longer wait.
His face pale, he forcefully pushed off with his legs, using all his might to leap towards the shore.
The instant he jumped, Alvin's calm gaze, through the scope, locked onto the target, and he unhesitatingly pulled the trigger again.
"Bang!"
"Boom!!! Rumble!!"
This explosion was even more deafening than the previous four, as if it would shatter the entire world.
Duke of Bones's flagship was blown to smithereens in this massive explosion, countless wooden planks and metal parts hurled high into the air.
Due to the greater amount of ammunition on this warship, the power of the explosion was terrifying.
The terrifying energy shockwave, carrying seawater, formed a water wall dozens of meters high, crashing towards the Port City shore with overwhelming force.
Even Duke of Bones, who had already jumped into mid-air, was not spared; he was violently struck by this powerful force and was flung towards the shore like a kite with a broken string.
