Super Card System

Chapter 649: Stunned an Entire Country

Hiding in the corner of the street, Van Auger was contemplating how to make his escape.

Burgess was a brute, a rough and reckless man, but Van Auger was not. As the sniper of the Blackbeard Pirates, he was the calmest member of the crew.

However, this time, he had made a miscalculation. If he had blended into the crowd in the town and left immediately after firing a shot at Ian in the air to alert Burgess, Ian would never have found him.

But instead of leaving after warning Burgess, he took another shot and killed him.

Van Auger had excellent eyesight. He could see Ian interrogating Burgess, so he knew that Burgess might eventually break under pressure and reveal their hiding place.

To protect the crew, Van Auger had no choice but to sacrifice Burgess. Known by the nickname “The Supersonic,” he wielded a specially-made rifle that could shoot supersonic bullets, which struck before their sound was heard, making them nearly impossible to defend against. Ian had assumed that Van Auger would escape, so he never expected him to fire a second shot. As a result, Ian couldn’t save Burgess in time, and Van Auger successfully killed him. With Burgess dead, not even Ian’s Double Heaven Return Shield could bring him back.

Van Auger’s decision was a wise one. Burgess wasn’t a particularly powerful fighter; he was simply one of the earliest members to follow Teach and wasn’t irreplaceable. Killing Burgess to protect the crew gave them all a chance to survive.

However, Van Auger’s miscalculation was not anticipating the speed of Ian’s counterattack. Now, Van Auger was hiding too close to Ian. If he tried to flee hastily, Ian would undoubtedly notice.

Additionally, this city made of glass buildings often reflected light, so Van Auger had to be even more cautious.

Sticking close to the walls, Van Auger moved through the darkest, most shadowed areas, constantly watching the buildings around him to avoid having his reflection give away his position.

As long as he could get further away from Ian, he wouldn’t have to worry about being spotted…

Van Auger was stealthily slipping away right under Ian’s nose, while Ian hovered in the air above, feeling the reverent gazes of the townspeople below, his mind racing with thoughts.

The presence of these civilians was interfering with Ian’s En field, making it harder to sense Van Auger’s movements. If this dragged on any longer, finding Van Auger would become even more difficult, so Ian was starting to feel anxious.

However, he hadn’t yet come up with a good way to force Van Auger out of hiding…

At this moment, some of the townspeople began to recognize Ian. Despite the golden aura surrounding his entire body, the fiery wings on his back were a distinctive mark. Those who had witnessed the battle of New Edd War quickly realized that the man in the sky was none other than Ian, and panic began to spread through the city.

These townspeople were just ordinary people, and since Glas was a member nation of the World Government, most of their information was influenced by government propaganda. According to the World Government’s portrayal, Ian was a dangerous and ruthless pirate. The mere sight of a man who had wreaked Admiral Akainu’s wrists was enough to send the city into a frenzy!

People started to flee in all directions, heading towards the city center in search of protection from the military.

Some, in their panic, even thought of the Red-Haired Pirates and began shouting for someone to contact them…

For those who didn’t know about the relationship between Ian and Shanks, they assumed Ian had come to challenge the Four Emperors Shanks and seize his territory, believing that a war between the Dragon Hunter Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates was about to break out…

As the chaos erupted, Ian couldn’t help but feel exasperated. It was already difficult enough to locate Van Auger in the earlier disorder, but now with this full-blown panic, it had become even harder to distinguish anything.

However, at that moment, Ian suddenly remembered that these townspeople were just ordinary civilians.

Ah! Of course, if that’s the case, then the solution is simple!

Ian’s eyes lit up as he thought of a plan. Still hovering in mid-air, he unleashed an intense burst of energy in the next moment!

In his Super Saiyan form, Ian released his Conqueror’s Haki at full power for the first time! The faint black aura swept across the entire city and then spread out over the entire island—across the entire country!

Glas was already not a particularly large nation, and with the addition of the Super Saiyan power-up, Ian’s Conqueror’s Haki had an even more massive range. Under such a powerful mental shock and spiritual impact, the citizens of this country collapsed in droves!

Ian didn’t want to harm innocent people, but he couldn’t let Van Augur escape, so he had no choice but to stun these ordinary folks…

The difference in strength between ordinary people and Ian was simply too vast. Facing the impact of his Conqueror’s Haki, they had no way to resist. Fortunately, this impact would only cause them to lose consciousness, without any harm to their bodies, making this the safest and most effective method for Ian.

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of people! Wherever Ian’s Haki spread, people collapsed in droves. This small island nation was swept clean in an instant.

It wasn’t just ordinary people; even some pirates who were lingering on the island couldn’t withstand the impact of Ian’s Haki. Depending on their individual strength, they only managed to hold out slightly longer than the town’s residents before they too fell.

In the heart of the city was the palace of the King of Glas, where most of the royal guards were stationed. They had received word of the situation and were about to mobilize, but as soon as Ian’s Haki washed over them, these soldiers also fell unconscious.

By the end, there were only a few left standing on the entire island.

Van Augur, who had been stealthily trying to escape, suddenly felt his head spinning, a wave of intense nausea hitting him. He had to stop in his tracks and immediately began vomiting.

As he was vomiting, he noticed that the people nearby were collapsing one by one, foaming at the mouth. At first, he didn’t understand what was happening. But once he managed to withstand the dizziness and steady himself, he realized that he was the only person left standing on the entire street…

“No… not good!” Van Augur was startled and quickly realized that the dizziness was due to being hit by Conqueror’s Haki. In this city, the only person who could unleash such Haki was Ian!

In a panic, Van Augur immediately dropped to the ground, trying to pretend to be unconscious and blend in.

However, it was too late. Ian’s figure suddenly appeared in the sky above this area.

When Ian had unleashed his Conqueror’s Haki, he had simultaneously begun to expand his En field. With Van Augur being so close and not collapsing immediately under the impact, there was no way Ian wouldn’t notice him.

So Ian quickly flew over…

As soon as he arrived, Ian immediately spotted Van Augur. In his haste to feign unconsciousness, Van Augur hadn’t managed to blend in with the crowd of fallen people, and the long sniper rifle he was carrying instantly gave him away!

This incident teaches us that sometimes unconventional weapons can backfire when trying to keep a low profile…

As soon as Ian descended from the air, he wasted no time, drawing his sword and slashing a blade aura directly at Van Augur!

Realizing that he had been spotted, Van Augur had no choice but to stop pretending to be fainted. He immediately scrambled to dodge Ian’s Flying Slash, which, after narrowly missing Van Augur, sliced through half of the glass house behind him.

Cold sweat broke out on Van Augur’s forehead as he quickly loaded his sniper rifle, firing rapidly at Ian while retreating.

Several bullets, charged with immense kinetic energy, flew towards Ian, but he effortlessly deflected them with his black-armored blade. Seeing that his attack was ineffective, Van Augur panicked. After emptying the bullets in his rifle, he turned and tried to flee.

However, he had forgotten that he had twisted his ankle earlier. As soon as he put pressure on it, a sharp, piercing pain shot through him, causing him to stumble forward.

But at that moment, Ian suddenly appeared in front of him, slashing upward with his sword. It was as if Van Augur’s falling body was moving directly into the path of Ian’s blade.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

With a soft slicing sound, the sniper rifle that Van Augur was holding tightly with both hands was cut cleanly in two by Ian’s strike. Simultaneously, a diagonal wound appeared on Van Augur’s chest, and blood began to pour out.

As a sniper, Van Augur was exceptionally powerful at long range, but he was utterly ineffective in close combat. In front of Ian, he had no ability to fight back at all!

Van Augur collapsed to the ground, screaming in agony—not just from the wound on his chest, but also from the destruction of his beloved weapon. At that moment, he felt like his spirit had been completely crushed…
