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

Yelena's legs were held tightly by the polar bear. She tried to move to the side, but found that she couldn't move at all.

She sighed inwardly. The polar bear's counterattack wasn't particularly strong, but she was already on the verge of exhaustion and it would be difficult for her to unleash her normal strength to break free of the restraints in an instant.

Yelena lowered her head and met the polar bear's gaze; the madness in its eyes was clearly visible.

A smirk played on her lips; did she think this would kill her?

If it were yesterday, she might not have been able to deal with the enemy behind her while she was extremely exhausted, but now...

Humph.

Yelena's eyes sharpened, and a powerful aura erupted from within her, sweeping towards the person behind her under her control!

hum~

The first mate's fierce gaze was instantly replaced by terror. A familiar sense of powerlessness enveloped his entire body from head to toe, his legs stopped uncontrollably, and the knife in his hand fell to the beach.

It's that trick again!

The polar bear's eyes were bloodshot and his last breath was broken. His vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness.

However, his hands remained locked around Yelena's ankles.

Just as she was about to swing her sword to cut off the polar bear's finger, a loud shout suddenly came from the sea not far behind her: "Right-angled Flying Bird!"

Whoosh!

The fierce slash pierced through the vice-captain's back, and just as it was about to hit Yelena, it suddenly turned ninety degrees and flew to the side.

Hearing the noise, Yelena turned her head and saw T. Penn, soaking wet, standing in waist-deep water, holding a greatsword.

She curled her lip; this guy's timing couldn't be better!

Not only did they arrive late, but they also stole her kill!

Excessive!

T. Peng walked onto the beach and looked around carefully, but he didn't find that familiar figure. His heart sank.

He rushed to Yelena's side, the only one still standing, and said urgently:

"Madam, haven't you seen a person dressed in a white robe—no, perhaps a black robe—holding a..."

His gaze swept over the broken sword in Yelena's hand, and he continued, "You're holding a sword that looks very similar to the one you have! Didn't you see him?"

Yelena's eyes flickered, and she instantly realized that the other party hadn't recognized her.

It seems he hid it well before, and even his swordsmanship teacher, with whom he had spent a year, hadn't discovered his true identity.

Yelena had intended to scare Peng En, but when she saw his worried, zombie-like face, her mischievousness vanished.

You can't bully honest people.

Yelena's gaze passed over T. Penn and looked at the sea behind him. In the far distance, the shadows of warships could be faintly seen on the sea.

She knew in her heart that her cheap teacher must have thought the warship was too slow, so she jumped into the sea and swam over midway.

"I am... cough cough, I am the black-robed hunter, and the one who learned swordsmanship from you."

As soon as she spoke, Yelena cleared her throat and admitted her identity in a voice familiar to T. Peng.

What?!

Looking at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in front of him, T. Peng En's eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

Is this girl the Black-Robed Hunter?

He thought that the guy who was so murderous and liked to hide himself was probably around his own age, but he never expected him to be a child!

Seeing that reinforcements had arrived, Yelena was no longer as anxious as before. She squatted down, pried open the polar bear's fingers, and freed her legs from their restraints.

"Let me introduce myself again. My real name is Yelena. I don't want others to associate me with the Black-Robed Hunter, so I've been hiding my identity. Please keep it a secret, teacher."

She walked up to the first mate and found that he was still breathing.

He shook his head. That won't do.

With a single swing of his sword, he freed the first mate.

Startled by Yelena's sudden action, T. Peng came to his senses and nodded instinctively, "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret."

Looking at the corpse on the ground, all doubt in his eyes vanished.

Ruthless methods.

There's absolutely no mistake, it was his cheap student.

Huh?

Something seems off?

T. Peng En turned his head and looked around, his gaze sweeping over each of the pirates.

His gaze grew increasingly serious.

A terrible thought arose in his mind:

Could it be that all these pirates were defeated by just one person?

hiss!

T. Peng En gasped, his eyes filled with horror once again as he looked at Yelena.

A teenage girl actually defeated the White Bear Pirates!

What incredible strength!

Yelena searched the beach and found the mask and headscarf that had fallen off earlier. She then came to an unconscious pirate and took off his cloak.

Yelena took a whiff of it and her eyes immediately filled with disgust.

The smell of alcohol mixed with the stench of sweat; these pirates really have no sense of hygiene.

She went to the beach, threw her cloak into the sea, swirled it around vigorously dozens of times, wrung it out, and then draped it over her body to cover herself.

"My sword should be around here."

Following her previous memory, Yelena searched in the shallow water and found the intact longsword that the pirates had kicked into the water.

I brought five swords with me when I went out, but this is the only one left. I can't lose it; it's worth 800,000 Berries.

After doing all this, she returned to T. Penn's side and pointed to the first mate's corpse at her feet.

"Let's get this straight: even without your help, I can take down this guy, so you can't keep his bounty!"

T. Peng En twitched the corners of his mouth, his expression somewhat helpless.

He didn't intervene to save the navy money.

"Okay, I'll apply to headquarters when I get back."

The White Bear has a bounty of 100 million Berries. The captains of his first and third ships have bounties of 40 million and 33 million Berries respectively, plus the first mate's 42 million...

At this point, T. Penn suddenly felt his vision blurring.

It's over 200 million!

Even if I worked in the branch until retirement, I wouldn't have saved this much money!

However, this amount of money is insignificant to headquarters. As long as it's reported, the higher-ups should transfer the money promptly...

Right?

T. Penn shook his head, trying to shake the countless zeros out of his brain.

Coming to my senses, I saw Yelena carrying a long sword, walking back and forth on the beach.

He would occasionally flick his wrist, sending a spray of blood into the air.

"..."

T. Peng moved his lips, but said nothing, his gaze toward Yelena was extremely complicated.

More impressive than their strength was their ruthless methods!

Swish!

Yelena sheathed her sword, removed a cloth from the pirate corpse at her feet, wiped the blood off the blade, and used her Observation Haki to check if there were any survivors nearby.

A few seconds later, she opened her eyes and walked to the polar bear.

Only this guy still had a faint trace of life remaining on him.

Yelena's expression held a hint of respect. The polar bear had been slashed dozens of times, and even part of its throat had been cut open, yet it was still alive!

Their vitality is so strong!

No wonder he's a pirate with a bounty of 100 million!

Yelena took a folded wanted poster from her pants pocket and pressed it against the polar bear's wound.

"What are you doing?"
