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

"Have you heard? Mad Dog, the captain of the second ship of the White Bear Pirates, was killed by the Black-Robed Hunter!"

"The White Bear has announced that anyone who can provide information about the Black-Robed Hunter can join the White Bear Pirates! Whoever captures him will be immediately appointed as the second-in-command!"

Yelena walked into the tavern and overheard the conversation. Only then did she understand why there were suddenly so many menacing people on the street.

It turns out they all came for her.

Yelena found it amusing. Even Mad Dog had lost; those weaker than him had no chance of becoming captain. Those stronger than him probably wouldn't even consider a second ship.

If the polar bear wants to find her, he might as well just offer a reward; that would attract more people to participate.

Since the items had a limited number of uses, Yelena didn't hunt pirates very often. For the next half month, she didn't appear in the outside world as the Black Robe Hunter again.

Unable to find her anywhere, the pirates and thugs gradually disappeared into the town.

It's unclear whether it was because the polar bear gave up voluntarily, or because Colonel T. Penn returned to Notis.

After waiting for more than half a month, the swordsmanship teacher has finally returned!

The next morning, Yelena put on her cloak and went to the indoor training ground of the naval branch.

Inside the room, besides T. Penn, there were more than a dozen marines carrying longswords.

Whether you're herding one sheep or a flock, it's all the same. T. Peng En plans to train a group of swordsmen within the branch.

Seeing Yelena's attire, the crowd did not show any surprise, clearly having been informed beforehand.

"When we're not at sea, I'll set aside two hours each morning to instruct you in swordsmanship."

"I despise curved swordsmanship; every strike must be straight, even when turning, there can be no curvature!"

As he spoke, T. Peng En walked up to the wooden stake and demonstrated the right-angle sword technique to everyone.

The greatsword slashed down rapidly through the air.

Whoosh!

The slash swept past the first row of wooden stakes, and just when everyone thought the sword had missed, it suddenly turned ninety degrees and accurately hit the second row of wooden stakes!

Yelena nodded repeatedly, agreeing that this was a good move.

When encountering pirates who have taken hostages, you can catch them off guard if you have the right opportunity.

She became very interested in right-angle swordsmanship and gradually immersed herself in its practice.

One year later, at a trading port in Beihai.

"Right-angled bird!"

Yelena swung her greatsword, slashing at a target several meters away.

A fierce aura erupted from her body, guided by the sword, transforming into a sharp slash...

No, it's more like a cool, powerful breeze blowing in the enemy's face.

Call ~

The pirate who was chosen as the target looked somewhat puzzled.

What is this guy doing?

Suddenly he yelled and rushed over. He thought he was going to be killed, but that was it?

boom!

The pirate clutched his chest and slammed to the ground.

Yelena put away her gun, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her eyes.

After a year of arduous training, she has fully mastered the right-angle sword technique, far surpassing the naval swordsmen who studied with her.

However, it was still one step away from completely transforming the slash into a sword wave, resulting in an awkward situation where it was sometimes effective and sometimes not.

Yelena shook her head, stopping thinking about all this nonsense, and quickly rushed into the pirate group, reaping rewards like crazy.

[Identification successful. The attribute acquired this time is Graham's Power. Inherit?]

"inherit!"

[Name: Yelena]

[Age: 15 years old]

[Strength: 20] (18+2)

[Agility: 21]

[Constitution: 20]

[Armament Haki: None]

[Observation Haki: None]

[Conqueror's Haki: Beginner (99%)]

[Skills: Court Swordsmanship, Right Angle Swordsmanship]

[Devil Fruit Ability: None]

Yelena's gaze lingered on the Strength column, showing no surprise.

The pirate in front of her, named Graham, has a bounty of only 33 million, which is not difficult for her to deal with in her current state.

Gaining two points of power was expected.

only……

She looked at the Conqueror's Haki column, where the value had stopped increasing over half a year ago.

We've hit a bottleneck.

She had no clue how to improve it. In the early stages of Conqueror's Haki, she couldn't cultivate it on her own, and she couldn't even sense the existence of this power.

After delivering the pirates to a nearby naval branch, Yelena went to the temporary hotel where she was staying and changed back into her usual clothes.

Over the past year, she has occasionally worked with Colonel T. Penn to hunt down pirates.

Most of the time, I go out alone.

Like this time, she chased a group of pirates across three islands before finally catching them.

Five days later, at dawn, the merchant ship docked at the pier on Notis Island, and Yelena returned to the island where she had lived for more than a year.

Just as I stepped ashore, I suddenly heard a commotion in the air.

Yelena looked up and saw a dozen or so messenger gulls flying out of the town, each heading in a different direction.

Is there big news?

Yelena waved, and the seagull flying at the back noticed her movement, landing on the dock railing with the newspaper in its hand.

After paying, Yelena took the newspaper, intending to read it as she walked.

But after taking only two steps, she had to stop.

Captain of the White Bear Pirates, White Bear Bjorn, brutally murdered nobles! His crimes are heinous!

Looking at the news on the front page, Yelena couldn't hide her surprise. After a year, the polar bear had actually appeared!

Over the past year, both she and T. Penn have been trying to find traces of the White Bear Pirates.

But each time they either returned empty-handed or only caught a few small fry; they never encountered the high-ranking officials who were wanted by the bounty.

Later, in an attempt to lure the enemy into a trap, T. Penn remained in the shadows while Yelena, dressed as a black-robed hunter, wandered the streets for several days, but failed to lure anyone out.

Finding a pirate crew deliberately hiding in the vast North Sea was not easy, and after a while, they had no choice but to give up.

It was unexpected that the White Bear Pirates would re-enter the public eye in this way.

Yelena was puzzled as to why the polar bear would clash with the nobles.

Aren't the pirate crew's backers the local nobles of Notis Island? I've even heard that there are members of the royal family among them.

Did he kill his angel investor?

As Yelena flipped through the newspaper, a wanted poster fell out from the lining. She picked it up casually, glanced at it, and her expression suddenly changed.

Bjorn the White Bear, bounty of 100 million Berries!

A pirate with a bounty of over 100 million has appeared in the North Sea!

What was the bounty for the polar bear before?

Yelena quickly recalled the number and remembered it was over seventy million.

Looking at it this way, an increase to 100 million Berries isn't much.

If you calculate it all, the value of those nobles is far more than 20 million!

After returning home, Yelena did not linger. She changed back into her cloak, gathered all her equipment, and quickly headed to the naval branch.

The White Bear Pirates have made such a big move; they probably won't stay silent any longer. She needs to consult with T. Poon about countermeasures.

"My lord, you're finally back!"

Several anxious-looking sailors quickly surrounded Yelena as soon as they saw her.
