One Piece: I'm a Hunter on the Grand Line

Looking at the bandit leader's bulging, taut muscles and arms that were several sizes thicker than her own thighs—no, even her waist—Yelena understood the origin of his nickname.

This creature, which looks even stronger than a regular bison, is none other than a giant bull!

suck~

What was that sound?

Yelena snapped out of her daze and turned around to find Bepo emerging from behind the tree, drooling over the roasting meat in front of the campfire with a silly grin on his face.

"It smells so good!"

You've been found out, you idiot!

Yelena couldn't help but facepalm. "Doesn't Luo usually give you meat?"

Looking at your fair, chubby, and shiny appearance, you don't seem like it.

"Who's there...a bear?! Boss, there's a bear!"

Amondo swallowed the roasted meat in his hand, turned his head to look at the sound of his little brother's voice, and met Bepo's beady eyes.

suck~

A large amount of drool dripped from the corner of Amundo's mouth.

A white bear, a species I've never eaten before.

"Minions, surround it!"

"Awooo!!"

The bandits put down their drinks, picked up their swords and knives, and charged toward Bebo.

Unlike the villagers who were terrified by the wild beast, the bandits showed not a trace of fear on their faces. What's a bear? They've eaten more than one tiger since following their boss. Tonight, they're in for a treat!

"Oh no! We've been spotted, Yelena! We need to... wait, where did everyone go?!"

Bepo turned to look behind the tree, only to find that the person who was supposed to be hiding there had disappeared without a trace!

Could this guy have just abandoned me and run away?!

They still haven't given us the three million Berry!

The enemy didn't give Bepo much time to think and quickly surrounded him.

A look of confusion appeared on the faces of the bandits. Did they just hear a polar bear speaking?

He shook his head vigorously. It was just his imagination! It must be because he drank too much today!

Seeing his underlings crowding around the delicious food that had been delivered to their door, the bandit leader swaggered closer, swinging his axe. "Amundo wants roasted bear paws today!"

Roasted bear paw?

It sounds delicious.

Bepo couldn't help but swallow. He wanted to reach out and wipe the clear liquid that had dripped onto his chin, but halfway there he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Bear paw?

Am I not a bear?

These bastards want to eat me!

Anger ignited in Bepo's eyes. He leaped more than two meters from the ground and kicked a bandit hard in the chin with his right foot!

Bang!

The bandit's teeth exploded in mid-air, and he was sent flying backward with a scream!

The sudden turn of events instantly dispelled the other bandits' drunkenness!

not good!

This polar bear knows kung fu!

While Amondo was still in a daze, Yelena, who was hiding in the treetop, made her move!

She drew her one-handed sword and launched a surprise attack from above, the sharp blade reaching the target's head in the blink of an eye!

Amondo felt a chill run down his spine; he sensed danger and desperately dodged to the side!

Puff!

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh echoed through the forest, but Yelena's tightly furrowed brows did not relax; the sword had missed its mark!

Blood gushed from Amundo's shoulder, his features contorted and squeezed together by the mass of flesh on his face. Before he could even utter a curse, the dark muzzle of a gun was already pointed at his eyes!

boom!

Another spray of blood appeared.

Yelena couldn't help but purse her lips; she'd missed again.

It turned out that the moment she pulled the trigger, Amundo's neck shrank a few centimeters, and the bullet that should have pierced his eye instead hit his forehead!

An ordinary person shot in the head with a pistol has almost no chance of survival.

But this guy's muscles were so developed that even his forehead had a thick layer of muscle, and the bullet was stuck firmly!

"what!"

Amundo screamed and swayed, sending the person who was standing on his chest flying.

Yelena landed smoothly, her weapon no longer on her right.

"This guy's tough; even the sword got stuck."

"You damn bastard! I'm going to chop you into mincemeat!!"

Despite the pain, Amondo, with a sword stuck in his shoulder, swung his great axe and charged at Yelena!

This blow is so powerful and heavy that if it hits you squarely, you will split open on the spot.

Yelena crouched down, drew another one-handed sword from her back, and stabbed at the enemy's ankle.

Bang!

Yelena easily dodged Amundo's heavy blow, and the axe was deeply embedded in the ground. Before he could pull out his weapon, a sharp pain suddenly came from his ankle!

Amundo immediately lost his balance and fell forward.

Yelena twisted and attacked, thrusting her sword with all her might towards his neck!

Losing his balance, Amondo had no room to dodge. Not only was he hit by the blade, but the force generated by his body falling forward also increased the power of the sword!

*Pfft!*

The nearly one-meter-long blade instantly sank halfway into the ground!

Yelena managed to pull away in time to avoid being crushed beneath the enormous creature.

Bang!

Amundo fell, the hilt of his sword slamming heavily onto the hard rocky ground, deepening the wound. The blood-stained tip of the sword emerged directly from the back of his neck!

Yelena rubbed her aching wrist and sighed inwardly:

Fortunately, this guy is slow, otherwise he would be really difficult to deal with. In terms of strength alone, he is greater than the two pirate captains from before.

Worried that the enemy might still be able to move, Yelena laboriously turned the other person's head, picked up her pistol, and fired several more bullets into the eyes to ensure that the other person was completely lifeless before she could finally relax.

Bepo knocked out the last bandit and walked towards Yelena.

"So you didn't run away after all. My mission is complete now, right? When are you going to pay me?"

Worried that the guy would disappear again, Bepo wanted to get his hands on the money first.

Yelena took out Amundo's wanted poster and dabbed a few drops of blood from the corpse onto it.

"You carry the corpse down the mountain first, and I'll catch up after I've dealt with those bandits!"

Bepo immediately objected, his chubby face blurring as he said, "No way! What if you take the opportunity to escape?"

"This man's head is worth 7.5 million Berries. If I don't keep up, you can take him directly to the Navy branch to exchange him for money."

"I see. Then hurry up and catch up."

Bepo dismissed his doubts and walked to Amondo's body. Without him even exerting any effort, the mountain-like body was dragged onto his back.

This scene made Yelena envious. Racial talent is amazing. The power that she had been desperately pursuing was something that others were born with. Where could she go to reason with them?

When Bepo could no longer be seen, Yelena switched to the [Super Bounty] and posted Amondo's wanted poster on it.

[Identification successful. The attribute acquired this time is Amondo's power. Inherit?]

"inherit!"

[Name: Yelena]

[Age: 14 years old]

[Strength: 14]

[Agility: 8]

[Constitution: 5]

[Armament Haki: None]

[Observation Haki: None]

[Conqueror's Haki: Beginner (70%)]

[Skill: Court Swordsmanship]

[Devil Fruit Ability: None]

Yelena's breathing became much heavier instantly, and her strength increased by a full 9 points!

It feels like a windfall!

Yelena immediately forgot her envy of Bepo and couldn't wait to test her own strength.

She picked up Amundo's axe and swung it around on the ground. In less than two minutes, a crater more than five meters in diameter appeared before her.

"Hoo~ Is this what it feels like to have power?"

Yelena, who had transformed into a human excavator, almost couldn't help but shout in the forest.

After calming down, she drew her third sword of the day and approached the unconscious bandits.

These guys have harmed countless people, and Yelena wasn't so kind as to take them to the naval branch to enjoy free food and lodging.

It's better to just send them away.

A few minutes later, Yelena looked at the slightly raised mound of earth in front of her and nodded in satisfaction.

"I'll leave the axe for you to use as tombstones. Take my advice: don't be a bandit in your next life; it's a dead end."

In the mountains and forests, Bepo walked faster and faster, carrying a corpse weighing more than a ton on his back without feeling tired at all.

"If I send the person to the Navy branch alone to exchange for the bounty, and then pay the three million Berries in advance, Yelena won't be able to renege on her debt. Hehe, I'm so clever!"

Bepo became more and more excited as he thought about it, his eyes shining unusually brightly.

"Who's smarter?"

"Of course it's me... Wait! When did you catch up with me?!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Bepo's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and a guilty look flashed across his furry face.

"From the moment you wanted to go to the branch alone to exchange for the bounty, but none of that matters. Thanks for your hard work today, I'll give you an extra 500,000 Berries later."

Yelena benefited the most and was in a good mood, so she wasn't so concerned about money.

Moreover, without Bepo's help, she would probably still be searching for her target in the vast mountains right now.

"Really? You're such a kind person!"

Upon hearing that the boss was offering more money, Bepo's spirits lifted, and he quickened his pace again.

The man and the bear soon arrived at the village they had visited before.

Yelena returned the valuables she had stolen from the bandits to the villagers and left gracefully amidst their grateful gazes.

However, the feeling of freedom only lasted until they entered the city.

A dark figure emerged from the alley and blocked their path.
