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

Newcomers Vivi and Icarus nodded cautiously, especially the latter, who looked terrified.

"Luckily, I didn't ask them for help."

Yelena almost burst out laughing.

A skilled doctor wouldn't end up as a bounty hunter.

who said it?

She knew a top-notch surgeon who still roamed the North Blue hunting pirates.

The group arrived at the entrance of a small hospital.

Seeing that Vivi and Icarus had no intention of going in together, Miss Monday took the initiative to invite them in.

"You've been keeping a straight face the whole way, like you're holding back something. You must be seriously injured. Let's go. With the bounty, the cost of treatment is nothing."

"Let him go with you. I'm not injured. I'll wait for you outside with this lady." Weiwei stepped back.

"I'll stay too... Oh dear!"

Before Icarus could finish speaking, Vivi pushed him through the hospital door.

She shook her head at Icarus.

Icarum sighed and obediently followed Miss Monday and the other person into the hospital.

Vivi walked up to Yelena and said solemnly, "I have something to tell you!"

"Speak... hey, what do you want?"

Yelena's hand was pulled by Vivi, and she was forced to follow her to the park next to the hospital.

The force from her hand wasn't strong for Yelena. She could easily break free and throw the person away.

However, she eventually gave up on the idea.

The girl in front of him had been stealing glances at him countless times along the way, and now that no one else was around, she must be itching to ask about what happened before.

The two entered the park and went to a less crowded area.

Yelena was pinned to the chair by Vivi, who held her shoulders down.

"Sister, please promise me one thing!"

Is this how you ask for a favor?

Yelena turned her head to look at the fingers on her shoulder.

Vivi realized something was wrong, so she quickly let go of her hands, covered her face, and slumped to the ground in front of Yelena.

A second later, a cry came from behind her palm.

"Waaah—"

"You heard our conversation, but do you know why we're posing as bounty hunters?"

"I have a grudge against the Baroque Works behind Whiskey Peak! One of the higher-ups in the Works murdered my family and friends! Waaah—"

"I joined them to gather information about that man and find an opportunity to avenge my family and friends!"

"Sister, please help me conceal my identity! Once you spread what I and my companions said, I'll never have another chance to avenge them! Waaah—"

hiss!

Yelena covered her ears, feeling a headache coming on.

Weiwei's acting skills are a bit immature, but you can tell she's putting in a lot of effort; she's really crying, and tears are streaming down her face.

It was that crying sound...

"I'll agree to your request, but please stop howling."

"Ugh...really?" Vivi let go of Yelena's hand and looked up at her.

"Um."

She didn't have much of a relationship with Lao Sha, so naturally she wouldn't reveal her undercover work.

"That's wonderful! You are an upright and kind person!" Vivi smiled broadly.

Yelena glared at her, annoyed. "So you're not kind if you don't agree?"

With Weiwei's disguise, why would she need to inform on her?

Once she makes a name for herself in the company, Crocodile will soon find out about her background.

As the only crown princess of Alabasta, Vivi enjoys immense popularity and recognition within the country.

A princess, a future queen, not only personally infiltrated the enemy forces, but she didn't even bother to put on a proper disguise.

Yelena's gaze lingered on Vivi's smooth forehead for a moment.

Turning from a princess into an undercover agent is just a matter of changing your hairstyle. Isn't that treating the enemy like an idiot?

Icarum was even worse.

With his distinctive looks and hairstyle, he made no attempt to disguise himself and simply infiltrated the area.

In other words, they're taking advantage of the fact that the people at Whiskey Peak have never been to Alabasta.

I wonder how Lao Sha will feel after seeing their photos.

Vivi got up and sat down next to Yelena.

"Speaking of which, I don't know your name yet. Let me introduce myself, my name is Vinnie."

Neferutari Vivi.

So you're too lazy to even disguise your name?

Yelena felt a little tired; thankfully, this silly child wasn't from her family.

"Yelena".

"Can I just call you by your name? You don't seem to be that much older than me."

Vivi leaned back in her chair, swinging her legs lightly.

Perhaps because she had resolved some of her worries, she was now showing a rare display of girlish liveliness.

"what ever."

While comfortably basking in the sun, Vivi suddenly leaned closer, staring intently at Yelena.

"What's wrong now?"

"I……"

Weiwei's fingers intertwined and rubbed back and forth, her expression hesitant, as if she wanted to ask but dared not.

"Speak."

"Then I'll tell you, you're not allowed to get angry."

Vivi took a deep breath, her eyes hardening. "I want to know your secret to becoming stronger!"

Yelena was taken aback. So this is what you wanted to say?

To someone unaware of the truth, it would look like you're about to confess your feelings.

The girl had no rosy fantasies, only a thirst for power.

"During the battle with the pirate captain, the four of us were completely overwhelmed and had almost no chance to fight back!"

"After you appeared, he started getting injured. The previous shootings had no effect on him, so how did you manage to hit him?"

"It's not that you have good marksmanship; I bet it's that you seized the perfect moment and knew exactly when to fire. That's something no ordinary shooter could do!"

"The longer I spend with you, the clearer my premonition becomes: your strength is immense! Even when facing Bei... or one of my elders, I didn't feel this way!"

"You don't look that much older than me, so why do I feel this way?"

Vivi gripped Yelena's arm tightly with both hands, her eyes still resolute, but her voice trembled:

"I want to know your secret to being so powerful! I know it's impolite to pry into other people's privacy, and you shouldn't tell someone you just met, but I really want to become stronger!"

I dream about it!

"You have no idea... how desperate I felt after that pirate broke my weapon twice in a row. If even a pirate with a bounty of thirty million is this powerful, what about my enemies? Do I even deserve to be his enemy?"

"Yelena, I want to become stronger, can you help me?"

The girl's genuine emotions were so intense that Yelena felt she couldn't handle it.

If you're using your fingers so hard, do you have a throne to inherit?

It seems there really is.

"Want to improve your strength?"

"Mmm-hmm-hmm!" Vivi nodded frantically, her high ponytail whipping back and forth like a whip.

Yelena dodged the attack. "My secret is actually very simple."

"One relies on talent, and the other on hard work. If you maximize both, your strength will inevitably improve rapidly."

Of course, the most important thing is having cheats.

She has absolutely no talent!

"I don't know if I have talent, but I can guarantee I will work extremely hard, harder than anyone else!"

"After we return to Whiskey Peak, could you provide me with special training?"
