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

What are you doing here?

Upon hearing the colonel's question, Yelena revealed her purpose.

"Wanted posters for Gladius and others? No." Colonel Linde shook his head without hesitation.

"Most of the wanted posters stored in the branch are related to pirates operating in the North Blue area and involve the Grand Line. Apart from some very well-known ones, there are none of them."

"After all, it's almost impossible for people like us to have any dealings with pirates on the Grand Line. Special situations like today only happen once every few years."

Yelena frowned; this was a difficult situation.

Over time, the blood in the bottle will probably turn into blood clots.

One of the rules for using the item: You can place a bloodstained wanted poster every month and have one chance to inherit attributes.

She only ever tried smearing it with pirate blood.

Adding some water might work to turn the blood clots into bloody water, but what if it doesn't work?

It can only be used once a month, so the cost of trial and error is a bit high.

She didn't want to waste the opportunity.

Colonel Linde stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, looked up at the person pacing in the office, and suggested:

"Headquarters must have a copy of the arrest warrant. If you're not in a hurry, I can request that headquarters send the information via fax to you when I submit my report, and I'll print it out for you."

"If you're in a hurry, you can go to the newspaper office in the city tomorrow; they might have some in their warehouse."

"Speaking of which, your hobby is quite unique. Is it just a young person trying to look cool, or... wait, where did he go?"

Colonel Linde pulled out another cigarette, but before he could light it, a dark shadow flashed before his eyes.

"It seems that what Eve said about you smoking too often is true."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yelena was no longer in the office.

The window was half open, and the curtains fluttered in the breeze.

Colonel Linde smiled wryly. "That girl dared to talk about her old man behind his back... Wait, where's my lighter?!"

He reached for a cigarette, but grasped at nothing.

The colonel's expression changed drastically. He rushed to the window, leaning out halfway to try and find the culprit.

But besides the patrolling navy, who else is outside?

Yelena left the naval branch and, following the general route she remembered, ran across the rooftops towards the newspaper office.

A few minutes later, she landed on the roof of a two-story building and was about to jump forward when a loud shout suddenly came from below.

"Don't sneak any food, Bepo! We haven't prepared all the ingredients yet!"

The voice was unfamiliar, but the name called out was very familiar.

Bepo?

Is this the house under our feet, Luo and Bepo's home?

"I like to eat fresh food!"

This time the voice was familiar; it was indeed the one she knew.

Go say hello.

Yelena raised her foot, about to jump into the yard, when she suddenly stopped.

What's the point of her joining in when other people are having a meal together as friends?

Let's not bother you.

He turned to leave, but then stopped in his tracks.

correct!

Luo and the Don Quixote family have a long-standing feud, and perhaps he keeps their arrest warrants at home.

Well, since we're already here, let's go take a look.

dong dong dong.

"Don't grab it! The meat hasn't even started grilling yet!"

"You're bumping into me, Bepo!"

Shh, keep your voice down, it sounds like someone's knocking.

Luo put down the grill tongs, picked up his sword, and looked warily toward the living room door.

Bepo swallowed a large piece of fruit with great effort, sniffed, and said, "Hmm... there's someone outside, it's an unfamiliar smell."

dong dong dong.

"Pekin, go open the door, be careful." A halo of light appeared in Luo's palm.

The young man wearing a penguin-shaped hat left the dining table and tiptoed to the back of the living room door.

Pekin leaned down to look through the cat's eye.

The next second, he jolted and quickly retreated!

He pointed to the gate, his voice trembling, "So dark, so dark, so dark..."

Before he could finish speaking, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"What's with the blackness? Can you even see who's outside?"

A young man wearing a green hat and with short brown hair stepped forward to help Pekin steady himself, and then looked at the cat's eye.

"hiss!"

After a quick glance, he immediately pulled Pekin back to the dining table.

Bepo looked puzzled. "What's wrong with you two? Shaki, did you see clearly?"

Xia Qi adjusted his green hat, which was tilted to one side, his voice trembling slightly: "Black...black...black...black-robed hunters! It's black-robed hunters!!"

Pekin rushed to Luo's side, his face filled with panic. "It's terrible, Captain! The Black-Robed Hunters are here to hunt us down! Run! We have to run!"

Upon hearing his companion's words, Luo dispersed the aura, leaned back in his chair, and remained calm.

"What's the panic? He's just a bounty hunter."

Pekin and Xia Qi were stunned for a moment, then gradually came to their senses.

"Yeah, we're not pirates yet, so what are we afraid of bounty hunters for?"

"As expected of the captain! He remained unfazed even when such a vicious person came knocking on his door!"

Bang!

The living room door was forcibly pushed open from the outside.

Yelena walked in. "I've been knocking for ages, why is no one answering?"

"Ah!" Pekin and Xia Qi hugged each other, huddled together on the same chair.

Bepo glanced at the two flustered people, then at the calm Law, and knowing there was no immediate danger, shook his head and continued eating fruit in his original seat.

With no one to compete for his food, he ate even more happily.

"What are you doing here again?" Luo sighed.

"Are there bounties for Gladius and Machabys?"

"Just for this?" Luo's eyes twitched.

Instead of sleeping at night, he came to the door dressed in a black robe, scaring his companion so much that he trembled all over, just to get two arrest warrants?

"Or are you going to stay and freeload?"

Yelena looked down at the dining table.

In the center is a charcoal grill glowing red, surrounded by various seafood and meats, sliced ​​into evenly thin pieces.

The plate was piled high with vegetables and fruits, and there were unopened bottles of alcoholic beverages on the table.

It seems they had just prepared the ingredients and hadn't even had a chance to grill them when they arrived.

Remembering the stack of pence she was given when they parted at the park, Yelena tapped the table. Could it be that she had spent her own money on all that stuff?

Luo Qi went upstairs.

Yelena gestured to the two people huddled in their chairs, "Don't be nervous, that guy and I are allies. Keep eating, don't be shy."

To Pekin and Shaki's astonishment, she picked up a piece of beef and placed it on the grill.

The two exchanged a glance, noticing the shock in each other's eyes.

No way?

We're having dinner with the black-robed hunters!

How can anyone eat this?

"Gurgle—"

Watching Yelena quickly devour the entire plate of barbecue, the two swallowed hard, clutching their rumbling stomachs as they returned to their original positions.

Since things have come to this, let's eat first.

sizzle.

The sound of grease dripping onto the charcoal fire gradually became more frequent.

"Here, don't just eat fruit." Yelena set aside a portion of the roasted meat and placed it on Bepo's plate.

"Thanks!" Bepo swallowed a mouthful of grilled meat. "You just mentioned allies, so you were also invited by Yelena to join the anti-Doflamingo alliance?"

Yelena paused, wondering who had invited her.

I wondered why the bear had become so quiet; it turned out it hadn't recognized me this time.
