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

While on Svalo Island, Yelena had specifically practiced swimming. With her current agility and physique, she was quite fast in the sea, covering more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.

But someone was faster than her!

T. Peng muttered, "I can't let innocent people get hurt," and in a flash, he distanced himself from her!

Yelena shook her head, unable to help but sigh inwardly.

After defeating the mad dog, she gained 4 points of agility, which significantly improved her speed compared to before, but she still couldn't compare to the named and powerful figures in the original work.

Even the stronger ones who are ranked lower among them.

Ugh.

They still have to hunt pirates and train.

Feeling the icy cold seawater around her, Yelena's heart stirred with curiosity as she wondered if she could inherit the underwater combat talent of the fish-men through the use of the artifact.

In future battles with enemies, she will inevitably fall into the water. If she could be like the fish-men, whose strength would not diminish after entering the sea, it would be of great benefit to her.

If I get the chance, I'll capture a few fishmen and pirates to test it out.

"Whoa! There are zombies!!"

"No! It's the Navy!"

"Idiot! Put down your gun! We're a merchant ship, what are we afraid of the navy for!"

Just as Yelena swam to the stern, a gasp came from the front deck: T. Penn had run into the people on the slave ship.

She swam halfway around the ship and noticed something unusual in the cabin on the left side of the stern. She could hear faint crying coming from inside, but it was hard to hear clearly through the thick cabin walls.

But what is certain is that the crying did not come from just one person.

Yelena quickly boarded the ship and slashed the bulkhead with her greatsword!

Deng!

A dull metallic clang rang in his ears. The sword was embedded a foot into the bulkhead before being blocked by a layer of hard material, preventing it from advancing any further.

Yelena frowned. These guys had actually embedded a thick layer of iron inside the cabin!

The plan to breach the cabin failed, so she could only climb up to the deck along the top of the ship.

Several men dressed as businessmen were negotiating with T. Penn.

"We're conducting legitimate commercial trade. Look, this pass is stamped with a noble's seal... Hey, what are you doing! Ah!"

Yelena snatched the pass and kicked the man in the stomach.

The powerful kick sent the person flying backward, crashing heavily into the guardrail several meters away!

Yelena casually tore up the pass, nodded to T. Penn, and said, "Checked. It's inside."

After saying that, she smashed the hatch with her sword and went inside first.

"Damn it! Kill them quickly!"

"We can't let them rescue the slaves!"

Seeing that their scheme had been exposed, the so-called businessmen immediately dropped their pretense and revealed their ferocious faces.

Someone fired at T. Penn, and someone else grabbed a knife and rushed into the cabin.

The ship's interior was complex, and Yelena was unsure whether the only room for holding civilians was the one at the rear side.

She raised her longsword and slashed at the doorway whenever she encountered it, occasionally even poking the deck beneath her feet.

If you can cut it down, it's a normal room; if you can't, it's a prison.

"stop!"

As soon as they broke through a few hatches, seven or eight men with weapons surrounded Yelena.

Someone recognized her attire and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's him! That bounty hunter in the black robe!"

Puzzle appeared on everyone's faces. It was common for bounty hunters to capture slaves and sell them to them, but this was the first time they had ever seen slaves being rescued.

"Kill him!!"

The slave traders grinned and brandished their knives.

I don't care who you are!

Anyone who dares to stop them from making money is their mortal enemy!

Yelena's sword speed was faster than theirs; in a flash, she appeared behind them.

Puff!

Blood was sprayed everywhere, and several people screamed as they collapsed on the deck.

Yelena didn't even glance at these people, and continued walking deeper into the cabin.

A few minutes later, she broke through several hatches and finally discovered two unusual rooms.

Pry open the broken wooden door, and you'll find a sturdy iron door hidden behind it!

"Where's the key?"

She looked at the trembling slave traders behind her.

When they first met her, these people were full of murderous intent. After half of their companions were killed in front of them, the remaining people immediately lost the courage to resist.

"It's...it's on him, I'll get it for you right now! Please don't kill me!!"

Someone pounced on the body, rummaged through the pockets, and tremblingly handed a large bunch of keys to Yelena.

Yelena didn't answer. "Go open the door, and after you open it, go back to where you were and squat there, otherwise..."

With a flick of her wrist, a spurt of blood erupted, instantly turning the nearest slave trader into a protester.

"what!"

The remaining slave traders huddled together, their faces filled with terror.

The lucky person with the key rushed to the iron gate in a panic, his arms almost shaking out of shape, trying out the keys one by one.

The bloody scene was witnessed by T. Peng, who was walking over. He moved his lips, but ultimately said nothing.

Accusing temporary companions of cruelty?

He said he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Faced with these villains who sell innocent people like commodities, even the most ruthless methods are not excessive.

Click.

The lucky one finally opened the iron gate in front of him.

Just as I was about to go back to my original squatting spot, a thought suddenly popped into my mind: This guy behind me kills without blinking an eye, would I really be able to survive if I did what he said?

He was somewhat skeptical.

The iron gate opened, and the lucky winners were met with pairs of eyes filled with fear.

Without thinking twice, he rushed toward the little girl who was closest to the cell door!

As long as they hold hostages, these self-proclaimed righteous guys will never dare to make a move!

T. Penn exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no!"

boom!boom!

One shot hit him in the back of the heart, and another hit him in the neck.

Amid the gasps of the many imprisoned civilians, the lucky one lost his fortune and became a miserable man who died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Yelena sheathed her gun, turned to the noble naval captain, and spoke sincerely:

"Colonel, next time you can take action first and then speak. This will give you a better chance of stopping the enemy's actions."

"Your Excellency is right."

T. Penn blushed and hurriedly walked to the slave trader's corpse, picking up the key from his hand.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you all. I'm Marine Headquarters Captain T. Penn. That guy is the famous bounty hunter we've been talking about lately. He may look terrifying, but he's a good man, so please don't be afraid!"

Everyone looked at the terrifying, zombie-like face before them, shook their heads in unison, and the chains on their hands and feet rattled loudly.

No, we are more afraid of you.

T. Penn was tasked with opening the door to another cell, while Yelena obtained the whereabouts of the shackles key from a surviving slave trader.

You can't stay silent; those who are slow to speak will lose their lives on the spot.

The port near the naval branch.

After safely bringing everyone to shore, T. Penn gazed at the slave ships on the sea, and after a moment of silence, said:

"Let this ship of sin sink into the sea along with its master—Right-Angle Bird!"

Click!

The ship was struck and cut in half, slowly sinking into the sea.

Yelena felt a pang of heartache: Seriously, don't you even know what recycling means? That huge ship, with its thick iron plates inside, could make a lot of money just by selling it as scrap!

Could the nickname "Ship-Slaying Hero" be a little less fitting?

"What are you going to do with these two guys?"
