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

Hundreds of armed sailors stood in an orderly fashion in the square in front of the dock, looking solemnly at the sea.

Apart from the navy, no civilians or merchants could be seen in the square.

The air was unusually quiet.

Upon seeing Colonel Linde arrive, the adjutant approached with a Den Den Mushi (a type of Den Den Mushi).

"We've made contact with headquarters. They said they'll help report to the Marshal and urge the supporting navy to speed up their response."

Colonel Linde frowned. "Do you know which general is from headquarters?"

That's so unreliable!

"I asked, but headquarters didn't give me an answer. They said this wasn't an official mission and there's no record of it."

Principal Lin De sighed, "Forget it, let's not count on them for now. The Seven Warlords' ships are about to land, so keep the soldiers on high alert..."

Before he could finish speaking, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the street behind him.

dong dong dong dong!

The high heels pounded the ground relentlessly, the sound clearly audible throughout the entire square.

"The dock has been sealed off; all unauthorized personnel are prohibited from approaching! Madam, please..."

"Shut up! Do you know who I am?"

A young woman in a purple polka-dot dress bypassed the cordon and ran towards the beach.

"Halt!" A navy officer stepped forward, attempting to stop the intruder.

The woman was wearing high heels, but she was surprisingly fast; several sailors couldn't stop her.

Colonel Linde stepped forward with a stern face. "Madam, there might be danger near the docks, and..."

"I am a member of the Donquixote Family. My young master has come to fetch me, and you dare to block my way! What, are you openly defying the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

The woman stopped, her expression still arrogant, and poked Colonel Linde's nose with her finger.

Yelena stood to one side, her eyes twitching involuntarily.

Sister, you've overdone it.

The newcomer was Violet. At this moment, her face was flushed with anger, her eyes held a hint of arrogance, and her chin was raised, almost level with her eyes.

He looked down on everyone.

Violet didn't think there was anything wrong with her current state. She snorted and became even more arrogant.

"Get out of here, all of you! I can't stand this awful place for another second. I need to rejoin my companions!"

Colonel Linde was secretly alarmed. Of the four members of the Don Quixote family who came to Svalo Island, three had been killed...

This guy is the survivor!

He had sent people to search for the other party's whereabouts many times over the past ten days, but to no avail. He never expected to see him here.

"In that case, you may go over there. Everyone listen up, no one is allowed to approach this person..."

Colonel Linde was interrupted again.

"Fufufufufufu!"

Strange laughter came from above everyone's heads.

Yelena's body jolted, and she quickly looked up!

A man wearing sunglasses and a pink feather coat floated down from the sky.

"Donquixote Doflamingo!"

Colonel Linde exclaimed in surprise, his face tensing instantly, and his hand instinctively went to the hilt of his knife.

All the sailors held their breath and looked over at the same time.

Ignoring the Navy's vigilance, Doflamingo strolled over to Violet and looked down at her.

"You look a bit disheveled, Violet."

"You've finally arrived, Dover!"

Violet's expression changed rapidly, from the arrogance she displayed when facing the navy to the joy of seeing her comrades.

"Did you betray me?"

Violet's smile froze. She covered her mouth, taking a half-step back in disbelief. "What did you say?"

Doflamingo sneered, "Gradius and Byzantine are both dead, yet you, with your meager strength, are still alive..."

"You've gone too far, Dover!" Violet's eyes were filled with grievance, and her voice trembled.

"I survived a terrible ordeal, being hunted by Trafalgar Law and his companions. I thought you were here to take me away, but I never expected this..."

As she spoke, tears gradually welled up in her eyes.

Yelena couldn't help but facepalm. "Sister, are you putting on a melodramatic show?"

Is that guy the kind of person who can be moved by tears?

"That's enough!"

As Doflamingo listened to Violet's tearful complaints, his expression gradually grew impatient.

His face was gloomy, and the cold smile that had been on his lips since he appeared had completely disappeared.

"Tell me everything that happened after you landed on the island!"

Violet nodded, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, "That day..."

She recounted her past experiences word by word.

I overheard that Gladius and Law met because they were buying a limited edition manga, and then they got into a fight...

Not only Doflamingo, but even the Navy personnel around him who were forced to listen to the story were filled with astonishment.

Wasn't this death a bit unjust?

Yelena stood behind Colonel Lind, listening quietly.

I felt a little guilty towards Violet; I shouldn't have said her acting was exaggerated.

This guy's acting is superb; he tells a story that's half true and half false without batting an eye.

In Violet's account, Ro's unnamed companion ambushed her and Buffalo, killing the latter.

She was also severely injured and managed to escape into the mountains. Relying on the power of the Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit, she managed to evade multiple searches and barely survived.

As she spoke, she carefully lifted her skirt to show Ming-ge the scabbed wounds on her shoulders and thighs.

The wound was clean, clearly cut open by a sharp blade.

The surrounding navy nodded subconsciously; they recognized Luo's unknown companion—a swordsman.

Colonel Linde had a strange expression and his eyes twitched. Fortunately, Ming didn't have eyes in the back of his head and couldn't see his expression.

"I didn't come out of the mountains until Trafalgar Law and his group left Swallo Island. But I didn't have time to wait. I used my abilities to search the entire island carefully and found the bodies of Gladius and the others."

"I went to those places and saw that they were buried very deep, dozens of meters deep, but there were no signs of digging at the scene."

Doflamingo said in a deep voice, "It's that guy's ability!"

He looked down at Violet in front of him. "You just said Luo left this island?"

Without waiting for the latter's reply, he continued:

"You should know that neither of us is likely to completely trust the other. Now, search the entire island!"

Violet seemed to have known he would say that, and without any hesitation, she activated her Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit ability in front of everyone.

His gaze lingered for a moment longer on the corpses of Gladius and the others, etching their horrific state into his mind.

A few minutes later, Violet approached Doflamingo and shared what she had seen with him.

She successfully saw anger on his face.

Violet's lips curled slightly, then quickly returned to a straight shape.

Ming, snapping out of his daze at the sight of his dead men, thought, "That guy Law really isn't here."

"Now you can trust me, right, Dover?"

Doflamingo didn't reply. He raised his right hand, and a white thread flicked from his index finger, binding a navy officer dozens of meters away and pulling him close.

"what!"

"What are you doing?!" Colonel Lind exclaimed in surprise.
