Chapter 201. The Destroyer (Part1)

"Why?!"

Faced with Hawkeye's aggressive move, Jane couldn't help but speak up, feeling disgruntled, "Mjolnir doesn't belong to S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

"Mjolnir?"

Finding out the hammer's name from Jane, Hawkeye looked at the group, "Looks like you guys know more than we thought."

"So what!"

In response to Hawkeye's glare, Jane shot back without hesitation, clearly unhappy with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s previous actions, especially the confiscation of her research.

"Perhaps, besides the hammer, you guys also need to take a trip with us."

Hawkeye responded with an expressionless face.

"You have no right!" Hearing Hawkeye's words, Jane immediately shouted back.

"I'm sorry, but we have the right to detain anyone suspicious for a couple of days." As a super-secret organisation, especially an intelligence organisation responsible for handling mysterious events, S.H.I.E.L.D. itself had a lot of authority.

Briefly responding to Jane's challenge, Hawkeye then directed the agents behind him to start moving.

"Please cooperate, let's avoid unnecessary actions." Saying so, Hawkeye raised his bow and arrow and aimed it at Thor threateningly. He had seen Thor in action at the base before, so naturally, he was extremely wary of him.

"Sticky Fingers!"

However, it was clear that Hawkeye's vigilance was misplaced.

Looking around at the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were approaching and surrounding them, Bucciarati didn't hesitate to unleash his Stand's ability. In the next moment, the Stand, unseen by ordinary people, emerged from behind him and swung its fist in a vicious blow towards the agents in front of it.

Bucciarati didn't use his Stand's abilities but simply relied on its uncommon strength to send several of the agents approaching him flying.

"What the...?!"

Looking at the agents who seemed to be knocked down by an invisible force, Hawkeye's expression slightly changed. He quickly turned the bow and arrow in his hand and aimed at Bucciarati.

Bang --

Seizing the opportunity, Thor didn't hesitate and swung his fist to stun the agent in front of him. At the same time, he took a couple of steps towards Jane and others to protect them behind him.

"I did tell you guys I wanted to avoid a fight, right?"

As Hawkeye's eyes swept around, his tone grew cold. He turned towards Bucciarati and warned him.

Unfortunately, Hawkeye's warning was clearly not enough to stop Bucciarati, who looked at the sharp arrow aimed at him. One corner of Bucciarati's lips curled up in a distinctly provocative smile, and he calmly said, "I don't think you guys can stop me on your own."

Hearing Bucciarati's reply, Hawkeye's expression remained the same, but the bowstring firmly held in his hand suddenly loosened, and the arrow flew towards Bucciarati's chest.

"Sticky Fingers!"

Facing the flying arrow, Bucciarati didn't hesitate to execute the Stand's ability. A huge zipper appeared on his body, and he pulled down the zipper from his head. Bucciarati easily escaped the arrow Hawkeye had shot out with a horrific move that split his body in two.

It had to be said that his move caused a huge sensation. Bucciarati's move of splitting his body in two had quite a shocking impact. Even Jane and the others, who were aware of his ability, felt a great shock when they saw it. Not to mention the others who had yet to see Bucciarati's ability before.

Even the bearded man in the bar, who had previously laughed at the "Charlie" Phantom Thief Kid was acting as, fell to the floor and fainted when he saw what Bucciarati did.

"Tsk tsk, some tough guy you are. Are those muscles only for show? "

Looking at the bearded man who fainted in the bar, the Phantom Thief couldn't help but shake his head. He looked up at Bucciarati and the others who were confronting S.H.I.E.L.D., then down at the zipper wrapped around his body, and a faint smile curled up at the corners of his mouth. Then, he suddenly took a deep breath, and in the next second, his whole body shrunk as if it was leaking air. He easily got out through a gap in the net made by the zippers.

The Clone-Clone Fruit didn't only change one's appearance; it could also change the size of a person's body.

The Phantom Thief disentangled himself from the large zippered net, took off his top hat, and spread his arms. Bowing after his performance, he nodded to Bucciarati and cheerfully said, "As I said, escape has always been my forte."

As the Phantom Thief spoke, his gaze swept over the scene in the bar in front of him. Putting his top hat back on in his head, he spoke with a smile on his face, "Well, since my performance has ended, the stage is all yours."

Phantom Thief Kid's remarks were very tongue-in-cheek, but the meaning was obvious. He was ready to bow out.

Frowning tightly, Bucciarati looked at the Phantom Thief and deliberately said, "I said I wouldn't let you get away."

After that, Bucciarati deliberately ignored Hawkeye and chased the thief.

Sure enough, Hawkeye saw Bucciarati's move, and without hesitation, he fired an arrow, stopping Bucciarati in his tracks.

"Looking forward to that, see you next time."

Phantom Thief Kid took advantage of this opportunity. He turned and jumped, whipping his cloak around and crashing through the bar's glass window. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the rain.

"Why did you stop me? "

Bucciarati turned his head expressionlessly to look across at Hawkeye and asked in an unpleasant tone.

"No reason."

Faced with Bucciarati's question, Hawkeye replied with an equally stony face.

In fact, just now, he had recognised the one who had escaped as Phantom Thief Kid, who had broken into the base and stolen Mjolnir. In another situation, he wouldn't have let the guy escape so easily, but in the immediate situation, Mjolnir and Thor were his primary targets.

"Looks like you guys should get a taste of Sticky Fingers' ability."

Aware of the coldness in the other party's tone, Hawkeye subconsciously tightened his bow and arrow and pointed it at Bucciarati with a grim expression.

However, at this moment, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded.
