Naval Battle Moby Dick

[Gambit]

Hagiri remained perched atop the lookout nest, observing as Kallavan and his master Sun Wukong engaged in battle with the Whitebeard Pirates' strongest commanders. Unfortunately for Hagiri, this caused him to become reckless and drop his awareness across the entire battleground.

As a result of this mistake, multiple cannons were fired around their ship - leaving them vulnerable to attack from every direction they couldn't see. The sound was quickly followed by smoke emerging outwards which concealed everything within it; through that same veil came several bullets until finally an onslaught hit that felled many crewmates at once without warning or mercy towards them all alike.

As if on cue following those initial shots fired earlier, four more projectiles flew directly towards Hagiri's position where he still stood watching helplessly over fallen comrades.

Despite being taken off guard, Hagiri reacted quickly by fortifying his arms with Tekkai blocking the two bullets from his sides and then narrowly escaping death had he not crouched to dodge the bullets from behind and his front.

Notwithstanding the sustained injuries during this attack, Hagiri didn't let that stop him from prioritizing escape over engaging in futile combat as he used strategic resilience to navigate through wave after wave of relentless onslaughts towards safety.

Despite experiencing a searing sensation and developing prominent bullet markings, the man's flesh remained unbroken. However, he still felt an intense pressure on both his body and mind - akin to the physical blows delivered during Sun Wukong's training sessions. Having made this decision, the agent chose to forego taking refuge in their secure location and instead confront any nearby foes who might attempt to board their vessel.

Seaman exclaimed, "Fish, you ought to have anticipated this. You let your watchful eye fade away. Remember our priority isn't observing the altercation!"

"I plan to handle those pirates on the ice bridge. Please take care of it!"

"I understand, senpai," Hagiri acknowledged.

Seaman steered the ship, trying to sever their connection to the enemy by disrupting the ice bridge. Meanwhile, Hagiri retrieved a pack of metal cards from his holster with the intention of targeting several foes simultaneously.

With a quick flick of his wrist, Hagiri unleashed a barrage of metal playing cards that whistled through the air with deadly accuracy. The fiery illumination from Portgas D. Ace's flames highlighted each glinting card as they closed in on their designated target under Hagiri's masterful guidance using Gambit’s copied techniques. In one smooth motion, he scattered a half deck (26) of razor-sharp projectiles across the battlefield like a tumultuous storm, leaving no chance for escape from his adversaries who bore witness to this lethal onslaught. "DRAGON SUIT!"

Spoiler

Dragon Suit: This technique appears to be initiated by an upward spinning swing at which point Gambit rapidly releases all 26 metal cards at once which quickly form into a dragon-like projectile of flaming metal cards. It attacks the target aiming to swallow them, at which point they are cut by the spiralling metal cards inside the attack and subsequently burned due to the fire it created upon release.

He continuously activated his Awareness to avoid any unexpected attack. "Seaman-senpai, we have more company!"

"I feel as though someone's beneath the ocean's surface, and now I can discern the origin of the gunfire."

Seaman pulled a sceptre out from under the ship's helm and promised, "I will provide cover." He raised one hand while skillfully maneuvering the helm with the other. Using his Navigation powers, he conjured up multiple weather orbs and created a dozen illusions of Hagiri that were spread throughout as thick fog concealed the Sniper's true location. "This fog should not impede your vision Fish," Seaman assured them. "All of you, go to the gunport! We are returning fire!", he commanded. "You lot will be safer there."

Spoiler: Techniques

Realm of Fog and Mist, Niflheim: Using a "Cool Ball" against fire, the user can create a massive fog barrier due to the water vapour in the air, increasing in density from the rapidly heating cold air. The fog is used to blind the opponent so that the user can land an attack on them.

Using his Awareness Haki, he surveyed the battlefield in an effort to pinpoint the snipers who had fired upon him. "These bullets' trajectory is far from ordinary," he noted. "Only someone with a supreme level of mastery could alter their linear path like this. Could it be possible that..."

"He intentionally shot other rounds to make these seem homing?" interjected another. "That direction holds our answer." Utilizing a technique called Infinite Glass, allowed Hagiri advanced sensing abilities without needing a scope and granted him double his normal range capabilities. His heightened senses survey the entire battle arena! "That man holding two guns. It was him."

Spoiler: Haki Technique

Infinite Glass: By activating this technique, Hagiri does not need to use a scope to detect his target but still can achieve the same level of scope which is x5 of his normal range. This technique can't be used to land homing ranged attacks as it doesn't stack with Territory.

With a swift motion, Hagiri retrieved his rifle from its holster on his back, his movements fluid and precise. Without hesitation, he unleashed a barrage of four A-rank bullets toward the location of the 10th division commander, his aim calculated and deadly. Rather than targeting the head, he aimed for the body, intending to incapacitate rather than kill, a strategic choice in the heat of battle. And like what the enemy just did, Hagiri also shot the bullets against each other to create an angle in which the target couldn't escape.
