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

Danger descended from behind, and Luke Carter's expression changed drastically. At this moment, he no longer cared about attacking others and hurriedly turned his body to the side!

The response was pretty good.

Yelena's eyes showed admiration, and as her target dodged, she also changed her attack.

With a flick of the wrist, the greatsword changed from a thrust to a slash!

Luke Carter was halfway through his dodge when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, his strength rapidly draining away, and his body fell forward uncontrollably.

Before his body could even touch the deck, a sharp pain shot through his neck again! His vision went black, and his eyes quickly rolled back to reveal a familiar, mutilated body.

Strange, where's his head?

Bang.

Captain Big Beard was in despair, his face contorted in pain as he closed his eyes and awaited death, but he waited for several seconds without hearing a gunshot.

He wanted to beg the other party to stop torturing him and give him a quick end, but when he opened his eyes, there was no sign of the pirate captain in front of him.

Only one person wearing a cloak was cleaning the blood off the sword.

The pain in the bearded man's eyes gradually turned into confusion. What happened?

Yelena had no intention of explaining herself to him. She put away the bounty order and turned to rush into another battlefield.

The pirates, unaware that their captain was dead, were excitedly enjoying the thrill of bullying the weak.

The expressions on these people's faces as they struggled were so hilarious that it was impossible not to burst out laughing.

A pirate was laughing when a sharp pain shot through his heart. He looked down and only managed to catch a glimpse of a sharp blade before losing consciousness.

"not good!"

Some pirates noticed this and exclaimed in surprise, which immediately attracted the attention of more of their companions.

Before they could even aim their guns, Yelena darted into the crowd!

Each sword strike precisely took a life, and screams of agony echoed continuously.

The pirates were as excited as they were a moment ago, and now they are filled with terror!

Seeing his comrades die one by one before his eyes, one of them finally broke down, dropped his weapon, and turned to run away!

Some people managed to get back to the pirate ship using the grappling hooks, while many others lost their footing and fell into the sea through the gaps between the ropes.

But those who passed successfully didn't even have time to celebrate!

Leading their prey into a desperate situation, the grappling hook connecting the two ships has now become an obstacle!

Without cutting these grappling hooks, pirate ships simply cannot get away from merchant ships!

"Sever them quickly!"

"Oh no! That guy's coming!!"

"ah!!"

The screams gradually faded away, and the sea returned to the tranquility unique to the night.

Yelena returned to the merchant ship and had just stood on the deck when she heard a series of footsteps.

Looking up, she saw passengers and caravan members staring at her in fear as they pushed their way to the back, and not a single person dared to approach her!

Yelena curled her lip. Am I that scary?

Fortunately, not everyone was terrified. The bearded captain was helped by his men to Yelena's side.

"Ahem... Sir, on behalf of everyone on board, I express my gratitude to you! You saved all our lives. You are welcome to take any cargo or treasure you wish to keep!"

Some passengers became dissatisfied when they saw that the captain was taking it upon himself to hand over their belongings.

If we pay for the pirates even though they're alive, and we still pay for the pirates even though they're dead, then the pirates died for nothing.

He was about to retort when his gaze swept over the still-bleeding corpse on the deck, and he felt a chill run down his spine. The words stuck in his throat.

He cursed inwardly, "Idiot, I almost lost my mind!"

That guy over there is more terrifying than a pirate! He kills without blinking an eye! Just because someone saved you doesn't mean they're a good person!

This is also what most passengers think.

Once the captain spoke, no one present objected. Their lives were the most important thing; sacrificing a little money was insignificant.

Under the tense gazes of everyone, Yelena finally reacted.

"I'm a bounty hunter, not a pirate. I have no interest in robbing ordinary people."

The deep, hoarse voice reached everyone's ears, immediately making their hearts tighten.

Looking at the person opposite them, dressed in a black hooded cloak and holding a blood-red longsword, the group felt no relief at having saved their valuables; instead, they felt as if they were being watched by the Grim Reaper!

The bearded man's body was also trembling a little, but he had been sailing the seas for a long time and had experienced many dangerous situations, so he was the first to recover.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! We will deliver every last bit of the pirate's treasure to you!"

"If you find dealing with the pirate ship and their weapons too troublesome, I can help you resell them after we arrive at Notis Island. What do you think?"

"Can."

Yelena nodded in agreement, thinking to herself that this guy was pretty savvy.

This guy is no ordinary person either. He has connections with pirate groups near Notis Island and has channels for selling stolen goods. He doesn't seem like a legitimate businessman at all.

Those who venture out to sea each have their own way of surviving.

While receiving treatment from the ship's doctor, Big Beard ordered his men to clean up the corpses and bloodstains on both ships, and instructed those who went to the pirate ship to search for treasure to absolutely not keep any for themselves.

After finishing his work, he turned to look for the man in black, only to be told by his subordinates that the man had left sometime earlier.

The ship hasn't even docked yet, where can people run to?

The bearded man gradually came to a conclusion: the bounty hunter had likely boarded the merchant ship when they left Svalor, and perhaps was hiding among the passengers.

However, he did not make a fuss or send anyone to investigate. The other party was ruthless, and if his little tricks were discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yelena quietly returned to her room without disturbing anyone.

She took off her cloak, which was no longer dripping wet, and gently scratched her throat a few times.

Disguising her voice as something else is quite difficult for her; she always feels an itch in her throat when she speaks, so it seems she needs to get used to it for a while longer.

Yelena took out the blood-stained wanted poster and pressed it onto the "Super Bounty" sign.

At the same time, silently repeat to yourself, "Don't use gun skills!"

Luke Carter is known as "The Musketeer" because of his exceptional marksmanship, a skill that others might envy, but it's useless against Yelena.

During her previous training at the naval branch, she specifically took time to practice her marksmanship, and hitting the enemy's vitals within two meters was no problem for her.

This is enough for a swordsman to use in battle.

[Identification successful. The attribute obtained this time is Luke Carter's Agility. Inherit?]

"inherit!"

[Name: Yelena]

[Age: 14 years old]

[Strength: 4]

[Agility: 10] (8+1+1)

[Constitution: 8] (5+1+2)

[Armament Haki: None]

[Observation Haki: None]

[Conqueror's Haki: Beginner (90%)]

[Skill: Court Swordsmanship]

[Devil Fruit Ability: None]

(The average attribute of a normal adult is 5 in all three aspects)

Tsk.

Yelena raised an eyebrow, her tone somewhat disappointed, "To only gain a little agility, this pirate is far too weak."

Relying solely on self-training results in a very slow improvement in basic attributes. After several months of hard training, one can only improve a little in agility and physique.

The other two stat points were acquired after defeating the pirates last time.

If I encounter a pirate with the same strength as today again, I might not be able to gain any attributes. It seems I need to target pirates with higher bounties!

In the future, if you encounter small fry, just catch them and exchange them for bounty; don't waste the precious uses of the item.
