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

Chapter 113 News of the Fishman Pirates

"They chased after the pirates?" Vivi asked worriedly. "Are they alright?"

Yelena waved her hand, "Don't worry, their strength has improved over the past year or so."

She was quite relieved about this, after all, the pirates being chased by Icarus and his two companions were not particularly powerful, and the only one with a bounty was no more than 20 million Berries.

"Let's find a place to bury these people first; it's too pitiful to leave their bodies exposed in the wilderness."

Vivi's lips twitched slightly. "You didn't hold back at all when you were killing me."

"They are pirates after all; giving them our all is the only way to show them respect."

As they were chatting and laughing, Yelena's Den Den Mushi rang. She pressed the answer button, and Robin's voice came through: "Did you have fun on the resort island?"

"I haven't done much sightseeing. I'm currently on Changhuan Island."

Robin asked, puzzled, "Long Ring Island? What are you going there for?"

"Participating in the Pirate Game - David's Battle for Supremacy, congratulations to me, I am the final victor."

Yelena looked around and saw that none of the pirates who had come to participate dared to raise any objections.

Not long ago, she, Vivi, Miss Monday, and others went to a resort island for a vacation, and also to keep an eye on the pirates coming and going. This island is one of the tourist hotspots on the Grand Line, and some quite powerful pirate crews often land there.

She had only been on the resort island for half a day when she actually ran into a group of pirates.

Just as they were about to take action, they unexpectedly learned that these people were heading to Long Ring Island to participate in the "David's Battle" and had only come to the resort island to resupply.

Yelena robbed the pirates, keeping their treasure and the Poseidon for herself, and sent them to a nearby naval branch.

She and Vivi and others arrived at Changhuan Island.

"Hehe~ Your way of winning doesn't seem to conform to the rules of pirates," Robin chuckled.

After chatting for a while, she got down to business, "Didn't you ask me to gather information on the fish-man pirates? I have the results."

Yelena raised an eyebrow, instantly intrigued. "Who?"

"Fishman Willy, just yesterday, he and his pirate crew landed on Hannabar Island."

Willie?

Yelena tried to search for the name in her memory.

"Besides him, there's another pirate crew that you might be interested in stationed on that island."

"General Gaspard, with a bounty of 95 million Berries, was a Marine before becoming a pirate. He is a powerful Devil Fruit user."

"The agents on Hannabar Island are investigating the specifics of his abilities."

Yelena spoke up to stop them, "No need to investigate. I know this person. Tell them to be careful and not to disturb him."

She remembered that General Gaspard and the fishman Willie were both participants in the "Death Game" on Hannabar Island.

Gaspard is a Gummy Fruit user, a special Paramecia type, and possesses some Logia-type traits. When prepared, he can be immune to conventional physical attacks.

It's very similar to Katakuri's ability.

What's strange is why the pirates have gathered on Hannabar Island so early? Are they going to participate in a "death game"?

Every few years, the tides reverse in the waters south of the island, and the seawater flows upstream along the island's dense network of waterways to the mountaintop.

Numerous pirate ships converged at the mountaintop, using it as a starting point for a deadly race.

She remembered that the next time the ocean current would erupt was after Luffy and his crew left Alabasta, which was more than half a year later.

Could it be that this year's "Death Game" will be held earlier than scheduled?

After relaying all the information he had received, Robin did not end the communication. "I just left the president's office, and he didn't look too good."

"Could it be that the vice president is neglecting his duties and frequently going out of headquarters, which has upset him?"

Over the past year, Robin has spent no more than five days a month on average in Abalastan, spending most of the rest of his time in Whiskey Peak.

"Heh~ He is indeed very dissatisfied with one of Baroque's employees, but unfortunately that person is not me."

Yelena detected a hint of schadenfreude in Robin's laughter.

"The long island trip must have been quite fruitful, right? How much are you planning to hand over this time? Not a single Pele like before?"

"Don't slander me!"

Yelena suddenly raised her voice, and Vivi, who was cleaning up the mess, looked over. Yelena smiled apologetically, "It's okay, you go ahead with your work."

She walked to the side with the Den Den Mushi in her hand. "Over the past year, every time I hunted pirates, I handed their ships over to headquarters."

Twenty-odd ships, that's worth a lot of money!

Robin exposed her, "You've pocketed all the bounty and treasure. After deducting repair costs, the value of those ships doesn't even compare to the value of the intelligence headquarters provided you."

"That's my spoils..."

Yelena noticed something was wrong.

Something's not right.

He had always done it this way before, and Lao Sha had never gotten angry.

"Your strength is exceptional, a special case in Baroque. The president wouldn't normally have had much of a problem with you because of some treasure..."

Yelena nodded. Generally speaking, she should have said "but" next.

"However, recently two mid-level agents and some billionaire elders have also begun to refuse to hand over bounties and treasures to headquarters."

Yelena was speechless; it seemed her joining had corrupted the atmosphere of Baroque Works.

"The person who violated the rules has been dealt with. Be prepared, he will probably contact you soon."

After hanging up the phone, Yelena fell into deep thought.

Her abilities are worlds apart from those of the agents at the agency. Just as Robin said, Crocodile wouldn't kill her for some treasure.

The title of the leader of the assassin organization is not enough. Does he want to reveal his true identity and intimidate her with the name of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in order to recruit her?

Having done this, Old Sha wouldn't let her continue breaking the rules of the work community, nor could she truly submit to the other party.

Conflicts will inevitably erupt sooner or later.

In the year and a half since joining the organization, they have eliminated nearly twenty pirate crews through their intelligence, including several pirates with bounties of over 100 million.

She also earned a lot of attribute points as a result.

However, in the last two months, the increase in attribute points has slowed down.

Pirates with bounties under 100 million are practically useless to her now. If she's lucky, she might gain some attribute points; if she's unlucky, it'll all be for nothing.

Supernovas are extremely rare, and in the first half of the Grand Line, the Sabaody Archipelago is the only place where they are most likely to be found.

It's time to leave.

There's no need to worry about intelligence; with Robin around, even if we leave Baroque, we can ask her to gather information about the Supernovas.

Boom!

Yelena pressed her palm against the ground, activated the Boom-Boom Fruit power, and blasted a crater more than ten meters in diameter into the ground.

"Wow! Boss, is this your Devil Fruit ability? That's amazing!"

Ikaram and his men dragged over several pirate corpses each.

Mr. 9 rushed to the edge of the pit, peered inside, and his eyes were filled with shock.
