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

"How is this possible? I saw him walk in with my own eyes!" Vulture exclaimed excitedly, wanting to go forward and check.

The polar bear stretched out its large paw and pulled the person back. "What are you looking at! The person's already gone!"

waste!

They were tricked without even realizing it, and they even made them run around for nothing.

"Oh, right, he'll be heading to the Marine branch in two weeks! You can lie in ambush nearby and take him out as soon as he shows up! Otherwise, I'll lose another 20 million Berries!!"

The vulture's eyes lit up as it came up with a good idea. It immediately shouted at the polar bear, almost spitting its saliva onto the bear's face.

Seeing that the polar bear remained silent, he immediately raised his voice:

"You bastard, did you hear me?! I'm willing to sell out naval intelligence to cooperate with you all for the sake of making money!"

"I've already lost over 40 million Berries! All because of you pirates' incompetence! You must redeem yourselves... uh!!"

The vulture's words were abruptly cut off in his throat. The grip on his neck tightened, and his face was filled with regret. His eyes were devoid of anger, only a pleading look remained.

The polar bear sneered at the person who had just been spouting nonsense in front of him. With just a slight twist of his fingers, he could easily snap the person's neck!

"The colonel is really something, actually giving me orders!"

The polar bear tightened its paws and slammed the person to the ground!

Bang!

The hard rock floor was dented by the heavy blow, and the vulture got stuck in the crevice, its eyes wide open and silent.

The polar bear wondered, "When did this guy become so tough?"

He stepped on the vulture's shin, and a clear cracking sound filled the air, but no screams were heard.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the guy had already lost consciousness.

Pooh!

The polar bear, with a contemptuous expression, spat on the vulture.

"Useless! It's a waste for someone like you to eat a Devil Fruit! You'd be better off using that money to supply me!"

The first mate stepped forward, his gaze towards the vulture filled with the same contempt.

"Is this guy still alive? He's still useful to us."

The polar bear shook his head. "Zoan-type Devil Fruit users don't die that easily. It's just a few broken bones. They'll probably regain consciousness by tonight."

As a captain, one must keep one's word. He had previously told his subordinates that he would beat him up, and now he has fulfilled his promise.

Let's see if this guy dares to be arrogant in front of him again!

The first mate hadn't forgotten why he'd come here. He asked in a low voice, "Can we track down that person based on the lingering scent?"

The polar bear circled the area before returning to its original spot, giving the first mate a disappointing answer.

"I can't do it, there's a smell of blood in every direction... That bounty hunter's a veteran, he's got a knack for hiding!"

The scene that unfolded in the valley was clearly seen by Yelena, who was hiding on a distant mountaintop, through her binoculars.

Unfortunately, wiretapping snipes are rare and can't be bought on the market, so she had no way of knowing what those people were saying.

Yelena's gaze lingered for a moment on the unconscious Colonel Valuchia, her eyes filled with undisguised contempt.

How could a Marine be colluding with pirates and even trying to kill me, the bounty hunter who helped them capture pirates!

Damn it.

She continued to observe the situation below through her binoculars, while the polar bear and the first mate walked out of the valley, leaving Colonel Varucha on the ground.

Are they just going to ignore this guy?

Yelena didn't move, remaining lying down to observe.

An hour later, the two returned, walked around the ruins, found nothing, and left again.

Yelena remained lying in the same spot.

Two more hours passed, and the sunlight became less glaring. The polar bear and the first mate returned, this time bringing with them the unconscious Colonel Valuchia.

Seeing this, Yelena sighed inwardly. With such a low-level tactic as "pretending to leave to lure the enemy out," the White Bear or the first mate's intelligence was definitely higher than 99% of the pirates!

Having read too many comics, she thought that pirates were all idiots who would take attacks head-on, who thought anyone who dodged was a third-rate character, and who would disregard the safety of their comrades when they got carried away with their emotions.

Seeing the three leave the valley, Yelena quickly got up and followed, keeping a very long distance between them to avoid being discovered.

The first two times she was followed, this time she got to experience what it's like to be the follower.

I followed them all the way until night fell.

Polar Bear arrived near the naval branch, casually tossed Colonel Valucha, whom he was carrying on his shoulder, to the side of the road, clapped his hands, and turned to leave.

Sending him here was already an act of great mercy; once he wakes up, he'll naturally go back home.

If he weren't worried about what the navy might do after the branch colonel's death, he wouldn't have bothered with the life or death of this good-for-nothing; leaving him in the mountains to feed the wild animals would have been perfect.

Half an hour later, Yelena quietly approached and searched the area several times in the dark before finally spotting Colonel Varucha in a patch of grass.

They took out a rope and wrapped it around Colonel Varucha's mouth several times to prevent him from suddenly waking up and shouting.

Yelena glanced at the naval branch not far away, then quickly led her people away.

Outside the branch's gate, the navy officers on guard duty were dozing off, completely unaware that their superiors were being forced to return and leave right under their noses.

hiss!

When Colonel Varucha woke up, he felt pain all over his body, especially in his back and right leg. He moved slightly and the excruciating pain went straight to his lungs!

This is not the worst.

"Ugh!!"

The excruciating pain made him want to scream, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he found that his lips were tightly bound by the rope, and all his screams were blocked in his throat!

He heard a rustling sound in his ears, and with difficulty, he looked up, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets!

The bounty hunter he dreamed of killing was not far away, leisurely digging in the dirt with a shovel.

This is an attempt to bury someone alive!

Who was buried?

That's so hard to guess.

"You're awake? Perfect timing, I've finished my work here, hurry up and jump in."

Yelena put down the shovel, placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, and fixed her gaze on the person she had tied to the tree.

"Ugh!!"

Colonel Varucha struggled violently, and the ropes binding him snapped one by one.

After breaking free of his restraints, he didn't have time to remove the rope from his mouth. He endured the pain in his right leg and fled to the side.

Yelena saw no surprise; after all, he was a naval captain, and it was impossible for him to be completely without any fighting ability.

She quickly followed, and just as she was about to pin him to the ground, something unexpected happened!

Colonel Varucha's body suddenly began to tremble, his shoulder blades bulged rapidly, and a pair of dark brown wings emerged from them!

Ability person? !

Yelena's expression changed slightly, but her hands didn't stop moving as she threw the longsword with all her might!

Whoosh!

Colonel Varucha had only been off the ground for two or three meters, and before the joy on his face could even show, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, and his whole body flew forward uncontrollably!

Bang!

The longsword pinned Colonel Valucha to a tree trunk dozens of meters away!
