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

Spare his head!

Upon hearing the shout, Luo paused, his long sword stopping above the corpse.

In a brief moment, Yelena's figure swept across a distance of more than twenty meters and arrived in front of Luo.

Just as I was about to say hello, the other person's expression became cautious.

"I was the one who first set my sights on this pirate."

Luo's voice was cold as he spoke, adjusting his position and subtly aiming his blade at Yelena.

Yelena blinked. Had this kid taken the wrong medicine?

They actually consider her an enemy?

"You...cough cough!" Yelena snapped out of her daze, cleared her throat, and resumed her normal voice, "What, you can't recognize your own boss just because you're wearing a different disguise?"

She was dressed the same as when she left Swallo Island, wearing a wide white robe and a mask that completely covered her figure.

Luo looked surprised. "Yelena in charge? Your image is quite versatile."

I met them less than five times, and they changed their outfits four times. In three of those outfits, you couldn't even see their face or figure. Who could recognize them?

"I don't remember when I became your subordinate."

"The anti-Doflamingo alliance has only been established for a short time, and you've already forgotten?"

Yelena reached out and grabbed the corpse on the ground.

Luo's eyelids twitched, and his fingers moved rapidly.

Yelena had just lifted Cannon's upper body when she suddenly felt a lightness in her hand. Looking up, she saw that her prey had been teleported behind her by Law using his powers.

Law tapped Cannon's head with his scabbard. "I already said, I was the one who set my sights on this pirate first."

Yelena did not back down. "Is that so? My subordinates have been watching him for a long time too."

It concerns 40 million Berries. You think you can just take it away with a casual remark? It's not that easy.

Luo looked behind Yelena and saw that there were quite a few people peeking out from a pile of debris twenty meters away.

After a moment's hesitation, Luo conceded, "Shall we split the bounty?"

"Can."

Yelena waved to the pile of debris, signaling Mr. 11 and the others to come and clean up the battlefield.

"Prepare 20 million peles for this colleague who arrived earlier."

Mr. 11 glanced at the cold-faced Law, then at the howling pirates on the ground, and didn't dare to voice any objections.

"I'll have someone help me put together some."

Yelena and Luo walked to the side, and gasps of surprise echoed behind them:

"Look! These guys have been chopped into pieces, but there's not a drop of blood on them?!"

"What kind of ability is this? It's so weird!"

The two went to a secluded corner.

Yelena spoke first: "Where's Bepo?"

It's quite rare to see this guy traveling without any companions.

"He and Peckin are keeping an eye on another group of pirates."

Yelena looked surprised. "When did you become bounty hunters?"

Why are you splitting up to earn bounties? Are you in such a hurry to get money?

Luo sighed, his gaze towards Yelena revealing a hint of displeasure.

"Doflamingo believes I killed his subordinates and has sent a large number of people to search for me in the North Blue. I need a highly stealthy ship to navigate around."

"Now that I've lost my job as a doctor, I have to make money through other means."

Despite being complained about to her face, Yelena showed no embarrassment and patted Luo on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"How many pebies can a doctor earn? Bounty hunters make money much faster!"

As the two were chatting, Mr. 11 walked over.

He opened the box in his hand, inside which were neatly stacked twenty piles of Baileys.

After closing the box and handing it to Luo, he nodded to Yelena and returned to his companion.

Luo asked curiously, "Don't you always prefer to act alone?"

"That was before. I temporarily joined an organization called Baroque Works and was about to set sail for the Grand Line."

Yelena paused slightly before suggesting, "Why don't you come along too? The mastermind behind Baroque is incredibly powerful; Doflamingo's men might not dare to cause trouble on his turf."

Luo shook his head. "I can't leave the North Sea for now. There's a winter island in the sea near the far north. I've paid a deposit at the shipyard on the island, and the ship has already started construction."

"I see. I hope you earn the remaining balance soon."

"Thank you." Luo nodded, then changed the subject, "When are you leaving this island?"

Yelena understood what he meant. "What, are you afraid I'll stay here and steal your prey?"

"Yes," Luo readily admitted.

"They're quite protective of their food. Don't worry, we'll be setting off today." Yelena waved her hand and turned to walk towards the shipyard.

"As a senior, let me give you, a junior bounty hunter, a piece of advice: if you want to make money, don't just focus on pirate bounties. Take their ships and weapons to the black market; you can get a lot of Berries for that."

"Give my regards to Bepo."

Luo stood there, stunned, watching Yelena's back, his eyes catching a glimpse of the shipyard not far away.

He instantly realized what he had missed.

He only received 20 million Berries on this trip...

Losing big!

The group swaggered into the shipyard and, to the astonishment of the shipwrights, wiped out the remaining members of the Giant Cannon Pirates left on board.

"Keep repairing the ship, you won't be shortchanged on your wages."

Yelena walked up to the foreman and handed him a small stack of peso.

"Okay, okay!"

The foreman, trembling, accepted the money he had just pulled from the pirate's corpse and ordered his men to continue working.

Yelena jumped onto the boat, staring at the dusty deck with a look of disgust.

She instructed Mr. 11 and the others: "Scrub the ship inside and out. Throw away all the pirate stuff except for the treasure and weapons and replace them with new ones. Replace the sails as well."

It's a long way from here to Upside Down Mountain, and she'll be staying on the ship for a while. She doesn't want to fall asleep surrounded by the lingering scent of pirates.

Yelena looked up at the top of the mast, where the black skull and crossbones flag fluttered in the wind. She frowned; the thing was quite an eyesore.

Whoosh!

The sword wave flew past, the rope snapped, and the flag fluttered into the distance.

Several hours later, the newly refurbished three-masted sailboat left the shipyard and headed to the next island.

In the captain's cabin, Yelena sat in her newly bought chair, staring blankly at the wanted poster in her hand.

Cannon, a pirate with a bounty of 40 million, is nothing in the North Blue, but in the East Blue, he is a behemoth.

However, this ruthless character failed to grant her any attributes.

She had never fought against pirates from the East Blue, but she was certain that this guy named Cannon, let alone Arlong the Fishman, would be no match for Pirate Admiral Krieg.

At least his subordinate Gin can fight Sanji to a standstill.

Pirates from the East Blue are still the most valuable.

Yelena felt a sense of unease. Could it be that she hadn't gained much before entering the Grand Line?

Two months later.

[Recognition successful. The attribute obtained this time is Olaf's speed. Inherit?]

"inherit."

[Name: Yelena]

[Age: 16]

[Strength: 30]

[Agility: 27] (24+3)

[Constitution: 30]

[Armament Haki: None]

[Observation Haki: Beginner (20%)]

[Conqueror's Haki: Intermediate (30%)]

[Skills: Court Swordsmanship, Right Angle Swordsmanship]

[Devil Fruit Ability: Polar Bear Form, Boom-Boom Fruit (Abridged Version)]

Yelena frowned. Only three points of agility?

This guy is called Phantom Cat, I thought I'd get a few more attribute points.

Olaf the Phantom Cat, a pirate captain with a bounty of 65 million, is a master of physical combat, skilled in cat claw punches, and so fast that he can leave a phantom in place.

Yelena and her group encountered the Phantom Pirates on the island in the North Sea closest to Reverse Mountain.

Yelena personally battles Olaf the Phantom Cat.

Recalling the battle, she shook her head with a light laugh.

That guy was indeed very fast, even faster than her.

Without awakening Observation Haki, defeating an agile enemy would likely take some effort.

But that guy was unlucky; he encountered her just before entering the Grand Line.

Unfortunately, in the past two months, including with Phantom Cat, she defeated four pirate crews, but only this time did she gain the attribute.

"Well, it's still faster than training. Speaking of which, my physical talent isn't really that great."

During the voyage, she did not give up training. In order to improve her physique and speed, she often soaked in the seawater and swam while pulling the boat with a rope.

After two months of intensive training, my physique and strength didn't improve much; only my agility increased slightly.

If it were a genius who put in two hundred times the effort, their attributes would probably have skyrocketed by now.

"Your Excellency in Black Robes, the bounty has been collected, and supplies have been replenished. When shall we depart?"

Mr. 11 approached with the money box, his posture becoming more respectful than before.

Let's go now.

The journey over the Reverse Mountain went relatively smoothly, and the group entered the waters of the Grand Line without any major incidents.
