Chapter 1279

Su Xiao held the D·Assassination level, wisps of blue smoke rising from the muzzle. He had fired a total of twelve shots, and twelve pirates from the Big Mom Pirates had been headshot.

Although these were all elite pirates, under the terrifying power of the D·Assassination, they were all killed by a single shot to the head.

Su Xiao took out a spare magazine to reload, and just at this moment, a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.

【Prompt: The Hunter has killed a member of the Big Mom Pirates. You will now be hostile with the Big Mom Pirates.】

【Due to the Hunter's outstanding performance in the naval battle, you may choose to temporarily join the Donquixote Family. Upon obtaining 5 or more Pirate Reputation points, you may officially join the Donquixote Family.】

【Prompt: The Hunter has obtained 27 Pirate Reputation points and is now eligible to join the Donquixote Family. If you wish to join, you must seek out a Donquixote Family executive or a member of higher rank.】

【Pirate Reputation can be obtained through killing enemies, completing major events, or finishing hidden tasks.】

【You have activated the Pirate Reputation Leaderboard. The leaderboard will be settled before the end of the derived world. The top five will receive generous rewards. The current rankings are as follows.】

【First Place: Kutu (Fifth Tier), 1506 Pirate Reputation points.】

【Second Place: Qian Meng (Fifth Tier), 287 Pirate Reputation points.】

【Third Place: Sen (Fifth Tier), 76 Pirate Reputation points.】

【Fourth Place: Sarf (Fourth Tier), 51 Pirate Reputation points.】

【Fifth Place: Bai Ye (Third Tier), 27 Pirate Reputation points.】

Seeing the Pirate Reputation leaderboard, Su Xiao's brows furrowed tightly. According to his understanding, Fifth Tier contractors were the last batch to be transported to the Pirate World. Even so, that Fifth Tier contractor named Kutu had actually obtained over 1500 Pirate Reputation points. What exactly had the other party done?

There was no doubt that this contractor named Kutu possessed terrifying strength. Compared to Kutu, the name Qian Meng concerned Su Xiao more; he had met that person before...

The location of the Fifth Tier contractors was not near Dressrosa, but near Whole Cake Island. That sea area was the gap between the territories of Charlotte Linlin and Kaido. These Fifth Tier contractors were participating directly in the struggle between the Four Emperors.

From the Pirate Reputation rankings, it could be seen that all contractors were eligible to participate in the competition for Pirate Reputation. This meant that the rewards for the top five would be very generous, especially since Fifth Tier contractors were involved.

Not to mention obtaining first place, even obtaining the fifth-place reward would be a huge benefit for Su Xiao. That was something intended to reward Fifth Tier contractors; the richness of the reward could be imagined.

But holding onto the top five was too difficult. Su Xiao's opponents included not only a large number of Fourth Tier contractors but also six Fifth Tier contractors.

Su Xiao closed the leaderboard. He had now chosen Doflamingo's faction. The reason he chose the weakest of the three factions was entirely due to Doflamingo's personal ability.

Although Doflamingo was a pirate, he was different from those idiots who only knew how to burn, kill, and loot. After becoming famous, he basically stopped raiding on the sea and started doing business with pirates.

Arms, slave trading, Devil Fruits, freshwater transport—as long as it was illegal, he would have a hand in it.

Do not think that freshwater transport is low-class. 90% of the Pirate World is ocean. On some islands, freshwater is more precious than gold. Freshwater transport is sometimes more profitable than arms, but there are too many pirates on the sea, and transport risks are too high. Doflamingo didn't care about that; he was a pirate himself, and a Warlord of the Sea at that.

After possessing a certain amount of power, Doflamingo used his background to obtain the position of Warlord of the Sea, transforming into a legal pirate. This was where his cleverness lay.

In the eyes of other pirates, the Warlords of the Sea are dogs of the World Government, but Doflamingo had a different view. He believed the Warlord position was a privilege.

After becoming a Warlord, Doflamingo's power grew wildly. 70% of the arms trade in the New World was in his hands. He could even control the direction of wars in some countries, eventually becoming the boss of the Underworld. People in the Underworld called him Joker.

He possessed a large island, controlled 70% of the New World's arms trade and 80% of the slave trade, owned an auction house on the Sabaody Archipelago, and successfully cooperated with the Four Emperor Kaido.

In terms of financial power, Doflamingo could rank in the top three in the New World. Aside from his subordinates being a bit stupid, Doflamingo had no obvious weaknesses.

Actually, Doflamingo was too sentimental. Of his three top executives, aside from Pica, the other two were not very impressive. And his other capable subordinate, Vergo, had already infiltrated the Navy and held a high position.

Doflamingo's own strength was not weak, and more importantly, he was originally a Celestial Dragon. Su Xiao was precisely interested in this point.

Su Xiao wanted to get rid of the entanglement of the CP departments. Joining Doflamingo's faction was the best choice. The CP departments dared to infiltrate the territories of the Four Emperors, but they would not easily set foot in Doflamingo's territory; this involved too many issues.

The D·Assassination in Su Xiao's hand was loaded. He aimed at a pirate from Big Mom's faction and pulled the trigger.

Pfft.

The D·Assassination made a gunshot that could almost be ignored. The silencer at the tip of the muzzle was also of Legendary quality, so one could imagine how faint the gunshot was.

The unique structure of the D·Assassination and its characteristic gunshot made its shooting feel excellent. With Su Xiao's strength attribute, he almost ignored its recoil.

As soon as the gunshot rang out, a pirate on an enemy ship dozens of meters away was headshot. The shattered bone and corpse fell silently to the ground.

How many people were in the Big Mom Pirates? This was a difficult number to count. The Four Emperors all possessed vast sea areas, and they had a huge number of cannon fodder pirates under their command.

After pirates went through all kinds of hardships to reach the New World, they had two choices: join the Four Emperors or hide in those godforsaken sea areas. One could imagine how many affiliated pirate groups the Four Emperors had.

What Su Xiao needed to do now was to shoot and kill a large number of enemy pirates to obtain Pirate Reputation. The derived world had just begun. According to the current battle situation, it wouldn't be long before the battlefield moved to Dressrosa Island, which was the final battlefield.

And the naval battle Su Xiao was participating in was just a daily skirmish between the two sides. If it weren't for that storm, the battle situation wouldn't have been this intense.

Every time Su Xiao fired a shot, an enemy pirate would fall. He was using Paradise Coins to exchange for Pirate Reputation. Shooting a common enemy pirate would likely yield 2–3 Pirate Merit points; the amount for leaders was currently unknown.

The more Pirate Reputation obtained in the first battle, the higher the status one could obtain in the affiliated faction, making subsequent actions more convenient.

Su Xiao was getting one kill per shot, while the enemy ship was in agony. In less than three minutes, they didn't even dare to fire their cannons. Whoever dared to expose themselves outside the ship's side would be headshot the next moment. As for the observation ports inside the hull, don't joke around; that was a death zone. If you dared to show your head, a bullet would fly right at you, piercing your skull while also punching through the hull behind you.

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

Su Xiao fired with a steady rhythm, not caring at all about the lead bullet that flew past his face. The gunman who had dared to show his head to fire had already been headshot by him.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang lay behind Su Xiao, using its flexible dog paws to help Su Xiao reload.

Five minutes later, the area where Su Xiao was located quieted down. This was the power of a near-full-score Legendary firearm. Su Xiao alone suppressed the firepower of four large ships.

The sound of swallowing saliva came. The small leader from before was hiding not far away, looking at Su Xiao with eyes full of shock.

"Something up?"

Su Xiao tossed the empty magazine to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

"No... nothing, you continue."

"Oh."

The D·Assassination was loaded. Su Xiao held the pistol level, and a pirate sniper who had just shown his head was headshot.

Su Xiao currently had 106 Pirate Reputation points, ranking third overall.
