Dark Night

The atmosphere was tense and the darkness that surrounded the area made it even worse.

Many people were on alert and keeping a vigilant watch over the surroundings for any signs of activity.

Snipers were positioned all over in many vantage points allowing them to take out anyone that made trouble in their territory.

Each of them had their rifles aimed low as they surveyed the areas within their range of view.

The perimeter was well defended by snipers from up high while others were on lower ground armed with guns or cold weapons.

One sniper was looking around and held their rifle aimed below overlooking the outer perimeter of the area where everyone was held up in.

He pointed his rifle towards a small figure that had come into his view and started to hold his finger over the trigger ready to fire if he confirmed they were an enemy.

His eyes squinted as he tried to better see the person below but the darkness made it quite difficult to get an accurate view of them right away.

Just as he was going to tighten his finger over the trigger to pull it at any time, he could no longer feel the weight and texture of the gun he was holding.

He was shocked to find out that his weapon had disappeared from his grasp and was nowhere to be seen.

The same had happened all over the area to many other snipers who believed themselves to be in positions where they were well hidden or had an excellent vantage point.

Their rifles disappeared from them along with any other weapons they pulled out causing them to be unarmed.

Just as one man was panicking and was about to go warn the others to investigate what was happening, something flew inside the window of the high room he was using.

It hit off the side of the window opening causing it to ricochet off it.

A small knife had bounced from the side through an opening before heading straight towards the throat of the man. "Ugh..wa.."

His body dropped down in a pool of his own blood before dying quietly being unable to inform others about the strange things happening.

What was the most strange part was that the knife that entered his throat was no longer there.

The same happened all over as everyone in vantage points that would provide major support and coverage to the area were robbed of their weapons and then died.

Alyssia had a certain special skill that she rarely used that had frightening potential.

It was one that combined all kinds of useful skills together to form something that could allow the assassination of someone from very far away and it could be used much more skilfully.

Ordinary assassinations were much too simple and straightforward with less complexity, most got close to their target and killed them at an opportune time while others lined up their shot to kill from a distance.

What was special about Alyssia's skill named Skill Shot was that it combined all kinds of physics, architecture and many other elements together allowing a better grasp over making use of the environment for killing too.

She mainly used it to kick around balls that ricocheted many times before ending up at a target but she rarely ever got to use it more effectively.

That was why she had taught the principles to Jester and showed him the way forward to help get a better grasp over it.

His use of juggling and throwing weapons would only be further complimented by such a skill since it increased his combat effectiveness further.

Even if he was not able to get a decent aim at his target allowing a straight forward throw from where he stood, he could still pull it off by aiming for somewhere and throwing his weapon in a way that would guarantee a ricochet effect.

The direction his thrown weapon was going changed and went towards his intended target each time without fail which further proved how skilful he had become.

What was even more remarkable about it all was that the distance between himself and his target was much too wide a range that even the slightest miscalculation could end up in failure.

His use of Observation Haki aided him greatly to sense his enemies better and to help get a clearer picture of where his weapon had gone and if his target was hit.

Since he could grasp the shape and form of his weapon that was out of his field of vision at times, he still had his Observation Haki to make up for it.

His Snatch Devil Fruit had limitations to how or what he could snatch and it usually had a lot to do with what he had seen or knew was there.

If he saw someone putting a coin purse into their clothes concealing it then it was still possible to steal it so long as he had a clear idea of where it was hidden.

Since he already threw out a weapon of his own choosing or had already spotted the enemies weapons, Observation Haki made it easier to get a better grasp over the position of them and the rough shape that would help increase the success of being able to steal them when out of his field of vision.

Jester continued to skilfully infiltrate the area as he moved with great speed flickering from one place to the next under the shadows of the buildings.

His use of Shave and Moonwalk aided him in evading being seen and getting up to much higher positions like onto a rooftop.

His body moved with great agility as he leapt from building to building as a single weapon was thrown out once again towards a window further away.

The weapon appeared in his hands once again just a couple of seconds later before he threw it out again.

As he was making his way deeper and was eliminating many potential threats, the others participating started to move in.
