Chapter 1170 -1152: A World Changed Unseen

“Is it them? They don’t look very combat-effective, do they, Master Heracles? You seem to be underestimating me a bit. I am Usopp with eighty million subordinates, after all.”

The cute, doll-like appearance of the Beautiflies gives an impression of harmlessness. Compared to Heracross, who was the first to arrive at Boeing Islands and has already grown to overlord level, these Beautiflies seem to lack combat power.

Time has passed for long, but Usopp’s essence has not changed—a mystical eighty million subordinates on The Sea, for example.

Even when he was weaker, he dared to boast like this, let alone now that he’s strengthened.

“Usopp, never underestimate any opponent, and never be deceived by appearances. As a sniper, your mission is simple this time—survive, hmm.”

Heracles was not concerned with Usopp’s so-called eighty million subordinates. He has witnessed Usopp’s efforts over time, but he knows Usopp’s true capacity.

Originally, without his help, Usopp’s chances of surviving on this Boeing Islands were very slim.

Although Usopp has special effectiveness in desperate situations, being a special tool second only to Oden’s aura, he has gone through long periods of training, but he is still not a close-combat type.

His time is limited, and Heracles cannot always train him. Within the limited time, Usopp must learn to cultivate the island’s special plants, get the seeds, and train his physique—this is the limit.

With the meeting date approaching, Heracles can only intensify Usopp’s training, which is the first principle for a sniper—survive.

Do not be a burden to teammates, be able to protect oneself in a complex battlefield, and find the right space for output—this is the requirement for a sniper.

“Remember to show mercy.”

“Don’t worry, Master Heracles, I won’t hurt them.”

“No, I meant let them show mercy; if the injuries are too severe, it would be difficult to handle.”

“Master Heracles, are you overthinking it? Just watch the results of my training.”

Several Beautiflies were holding a fruit each in their hands, and their sharp mouthparts had already pierced the interior of the fruit, extracting the juice within—the juice of these carnivorous plant fruits had a unique taste for them.

Usopp didn’t know that Beautiflies are carnivorous too; they can consume plants and likewise drain animal fluids.

Moreover, he ignored an important fact—Dustox, Beautiflies, and Heracross are equals in the territory of Boeing Islands.

Even within the same category of the Pokemon group, there will be rank classification due to differences in strength. Here is not Wano Kuni; the highest position will always be Arceus.

Their equality is not because of good relations, but because of similar group strengths—though Heracross can fly, flying is not its strength, Beautiflies and Dustox’s groups can use their flying advantages to match them evenly.

Furthermore, unlike Tinkaton and Bisharp who are always engaged in internal conflicts, each occupying different regions, which results in such a harmonious state.

“I’m off, Master Heracles.”

Usopp walked into the trial area with a somewhat arrogant stride, and the Beautiflies also noticed this target.

Usopp took out his large slingshot, Black Kabuto.

Usopp aimed at the Beautiflies in the sky.

“Fatal Green Star Seaweed!” ℴ

The entangled algae-like plant, with good binding force and toughness, Usopp’s goal was to bind the butterflies in the sky, and the Beautiflies’ response was simple; they began to wave their wings together.

A cyclone appeared out of thin air, quickly turning into a fierce wind blowing towards Usopp, and the Green Star he shot was directly blown back by this whirlwind.

Even a bullet shot at high speed would deviate due to wind factors, let alone bullets shot by a slingshot. Usopp has not yet honed the skill to shoot sniper rifle bullets with a slingshot.

These plants cannot recognize their owner, and Usopp can only watch helplessly as the Green Star is blown back by the wind.

“This is…”

Bang!

A puff of smoke, Usopp was suddenly wrapped into a ball by the Mare’s Tail he released.

“Fight on, Usopp-kun, the trial is just beginning.”

Heracles turned around, somewhat reluctant to watch the next scene.

Through personal experience, Usopp quickly understood why Heracles’ request for him was merely to survive.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Just now, the whirlwind blew back the Green Star he shot, and now it was no longer ordinary wind beside him, but sharp Wind Blades.

The silver Wind Blades, like razors, shredded the Mare’s Tail beside him, leaving not-so-shallow furrows on the ground.

The silver whirlwind is also considered a signature move of Beautiflies; graceful posture paired with magnificent attacks—they are the most beautiful killers in the sky. Accompanied by Usopp’s screams, the island also livened up.

Beautiflies continuously launched attacks from high altitude; neither the plants nor the beasts where Usopp passed showed any mercy; a test of reaction and physical endurance in a grand escape.

Just like the name suggests, it’s a hunt by Beautiflies, and Usopp is the prey caught in the web. His limited means of attack were entirely restrained by the Beautiflies, who could create winds, leaving him with the only option—to flee.
