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

Yelena was familiar with the surrounding terrain. While Colonel Lind was dragging the corpse to scare people, she had already taken the lead and stood guard on the only road leading from the dock to the town.

With Captain Thorne dead, the pirates are leaderless. Someone might storm the town and, if they're lucky, capture a few hostages, which could give them a chance to survive.

Just as she stopped, a noisy commotion reached her ears. Turning her head, she saw six pirates of different sizes excitedly charging towards her!

Yelena frowned; this scene looked somewhat familiar.

But don't mistake her for the weak, runaway girl she once was; she's very...

Yelena's pupils suddenly contracted, and she quickly hid in the alleyway next to her!

Pirates with guns!

She cursed inwardly, "Isn't your captain a swordsman? Why are you using a gun instead of a sword, you underlings?"

Yelena dared not be careless; with her current reaction speed, she probably couldn't dodge the bullet.

"The girl is hiding!"

"Let's go after them and see!"

As the pirates' voices drew closer, Yelena quietly slipped her hand into her pocket.

The pirates arrived at the alley entrance and were about to look inside when a large cloud of white mist blew towards them!

"Ah! My eyes!"

"You despicable bastard!!"

It wasn't until tiny particles got into their eyes that they realized what wasn't white mist at all, but sea sand!

Yelena seized the opportunity and slashed at her target with two consecutive sword strikes!

laugh!laugh!

Blood splattered as two gun-wielding pirates clutched their throats and collapsed to the ground.

Yelena rolled on the spot, picked up the pistol and rifle next to the corpse, and looked at the four remaining men with knives. Only then did a smile return to her face.

Very good, the threat is resolved.

The surviving pirates immediately realized they had encountered a tough opponent. All thoughts of taking hostages were thrown to the back of their minds, and they scattered and fled while rubbing their eyes.

Without hesitation, Yelena chased after the person closest to her and stabbed him in the back of the heart with her sword. She then pulled out the blade and rushed towards the next person.

The pirates ahead had limited vision and couldn't see the road ahead. As they ran, they suddenly tripped over some debris!

"Please, please, let me go! I'll never be a sea monster again... Ah!"

Yelena shook the blood off her sword and rubbed her sore arm.

After using all his strength for only four moves, he was already starting to get tired. This dual-wielding sword is definitely not something a weak person can wield!

My desire for increased power has grown even stronger!

She turned to look at the remaining two pirates, who, in their panic, were fleeing towards the dock.

Yelena touched the remaining fine sand in her pocket and thought to herself that this trick was really effective. If used at the right time, it could cause the enemy to be temporarily blinded.

At the same time, she sighed inwardly. If she weren't so weak, she wouldn't have wanted to resort to these underhanded tricks.

He keeps throwing sand to launch sneak attacks; he doesn't act like a swordsman at all.

Where is the glory?

Yelena put down her sword, picked up her rifle, and awkwardly pulled the bolt.

Aim at the pirate's back and pull the trigger.

boom!

A pirate clutched his knee and fell to the ground.

Great, you hit it!

He pulled the bolt back again, aiming at the pirate running in the lead.

boom!

The pirates keep running.

boom!

The shot missed again.

Click.

We're out of bullets.

Left with no other choice, Yelena threw down her rifle, picked up her sword, and gave chase.

As they passed the pirate with the injured knee, they made sure to see him off on his final journey. With the man on the ground breathing his last, only one of the six pirates who had stormed into the town remained.

The only child rubbed his eyes hard; the intense stimulation caused tears to stream down his face. He blinked, finally able to see the surrounding light clearly.

"Damn woman! I'll definitely get my hands on her next time!"

"Who will be spared?"

puff!

The sound of a sharp blade piercing through flesh reached the pirate's ears. He looked down and saw a bright silver blade protruding from his chest!

His blinks became weaker and weaker, and his eyes, which had only recently regained their sight, were completely swallowed by darkness.

"Phew, it's finally resolved."

After going from pirate captain to pirate henchman, Yelena was exhausted from several battles. Now that she was relaxed, she felt weak in the legs and her arms were so tired that she could barely lift them.

She walked to the ruins where she had been before, used a few planks to cover her figure, and slowly leaned her back against the collapsed wall.

She'd leave the finishing touches to the navy; she should rest for a while.

On the dock, the pirate attack finally came to an end as Colonel Lind slew down the last standing enemy.

He knelt on the ground, leaning on his weapon, and only had time to order the collection of the soldiers' bodies and the treatment of the wounded soldiers and townspeople by the medics before losing consciousness and collapsing to the ground.

About half an hour later, Yelena opened her eyes and cautiously peeked out from the ruins. She found that there were many sailors dressed in white on the dock square, carrying stretchers and running around.

Medic?

Yelena perked up, stood up from the ruins, and waved to the angels in white not far away.

"Hey! There's an injured civilian here, come quickly and treat her!"

"Hurry up, or people will die!"

Injured civilians?

Upon hearing the call, a male and a female medic rushed over carrying a stretcher and a first-aid kit.

Where are they?

The female soldier pushed Yelena aside and searched through the ruins but couldn't find any injured civilians.

"Here, please save me," Yelena gestured, raising her hand.

The two medics fell silent as they looked at the girl with a sword and a gun in front of them.

The injury was visible.

But civilians... what ordinary person carries so many weapons when they go out?!

The two became wary. Could this guy be a remnant of the pirates, luring people here to kill them?

Do they look like people who are easily fooled?

"I know Colonel Linde. Hurry up and treat my wounds. I'll ask him to promote you guys later."

The male soldier nodded in realization, "I see. We were being rude. I'll check for you now."

The female soldier slapped the man to the ground. "Are you an idiot? Just because she says she's an acquaintance doesn't mean she is! I could say I know a naval admiral!"

Despite the unbearable pain inside her body and the gradual numbness of her wounds, Yelena decided to disregard her pride for the sake of her health.

She rubbed her still-childish face, widened her eyes, and tried her best to make a wronged expression:

"Sister, I'm not a bad person, please help me! It hurts so much!"

Ugh~

Yelena felt disgusted with herself.

She hardened her heart; if this tactic didn't work, she would hold a knife to the medics' necks and force them to treat her!

At worst, I can visit them with gifts to apologize after I recover from my injuries.

hiss!

The female soldier clutched her chest, her heart pounding.

This child looks dirty, but he's kind of cute when he calls his older sister with a wronged expression!

Such a cute child can't be a pirate!

The female soldier quickly opened the first aid kit and, to the disbelief of the male soldiers, carefully cleaned the girl's wounds.

"What are you looking at! Turn around!"

She glared fiercely at the male soldier, but when she turned to look at Yelena, her gaze instantly became as warm as a spring breeze.

"Tell me if it hurts, okay? My name is Eve, you can call me Eve-neechan~"
