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

Chapter 142 Neglecting One's Proper Duty

Chapter 142 Neglecting One's Proper Duty

Yelena looked at Nami with a headache; she knew this day would come.

If you lure a greedy cat onto a boat, once it smells the wealth, how could it possibly obediently hand over the treasure under its paws?

Never mind, she had expected it.

Since these were companions he had personally invited, what could he do?

However, there are some things that need to be clarified beforehand.

"The treasure can be entrusted to your management."

"That's amazing!" Nami spun around in place, holding the gold.

"However, I will soon need to withdraw and use that five billion pegories in cash."

This money came from pirate bounties and from selling secondhand ships and weapons on the black market.

"How much?! Fifty billion!!" Nami put down the gold, rushed to Yelena in two steps, and grabbed her collar tightly.

"What are you going to do with all that money?!"

Yelena looked helpless. "See, this is the downside of having someone manage the money. Even just a tiny bit is enough to get you bombarded with questions."

"Give this to Robin to use in building an intelligence network across the six seas."

For over a year, Robin has managed Baroque Works quite well; some of his subordinates are so well-known that even Crocodile is unaware of their existence.

However, due to limited funding, expansion was slow. After all, they couldn't misappropriate large amounts of the company's funds, or Lao Sha would find out.

"Hiss—" Nami clutched her chest and staggered back several steps, her face contorted in pain. She closed her eyes and said, "Don't let me see you withdrawing the money."

Nami locked the treasure room door and took the key. "It's too rudimentary. What if a thief gets on the ship? No, I need to redecorate the room. It has to be reinforced with iron!"

Isn't the cunning thief right in front of us?

Oh well, let her be.

Yelena chuckled, putting those thoughts aside, and asked the questions she had wanted to ask earlier.

"Colonel Monka? I know him. His naval branch is located in a place called Shells. I passed through there once last year."

"Monca has a bad reputation. The townspeople are terrified of him. Mentioning his name is like hearing the name of a vicious pirate."

Upon hearing this, a strange glint flashed in Yelena's eyes. Even Nami had heard of Morgan's terrible reputation, yet the other Marines had not received the news, which showed how incompetent they were.

No wonder even some pirates with mediocre strength dare to run wild on the sea.

Nami has an exceptional memory and an innate sense of direction. Even though she had only been to Shells Town once, she was able to lead everyone to the location without any problems.

They only took a week.

"This town looks very peaceful, not like it has been bullied by the domineering navy for many years."

Standing in the middle of the street, looking at the vendors selling their wares and the endless stream of pedestrians, Weiwei looked puzzled.

"Why don't you try calling out 'Colonel Montez is here'?"

Swish! !

As soon as Yelena finished speaking, all the pedestrians and vendors around them instantly scrambled to both sides of the street, each seeking cover behind them.

Everyone was dumbfounded. The sound just now wasn't loud, was it? How many dangers had these people gone through to develop such superb reaction speed?

Yelena patted her coat pocket and then remembered that she had forgotten to turn on the video Den Den Mushi. Should she try it again?

The townspeople gradually realized that the person standing in the middle of the road was not the fearsome Colonel Monca, but a few outsiders.

Just as he was about to erupt in anger, a loud shout came from the distant street: "Young Master Bellemere is here!"

Swish!

All townspeople stood at attention, clearing the streets completely for the approaching people to walk through.

"Hey you guys, hide! Young Master Bellemere will bite anyone he sees!"

The townsman closest to Yelena turned around and whispered a reminder.

Thank you.

Yelena took the Den Den Mushi and retreated to the side of the road.

Two minutes later, a group of people swaggered over.

Yelena's gaze swept past the surrounding navy and settled on the green-haired man in the center whose hands were bound.

Zoro.

What a coincidence! He just happened to be arrested by the navy.

"What are you looking at?! Believe me or not, I'll arrest you all!"

The arrogant voice reached Yelena's ears.

Leading the navy was a blond man with a bowl cut hairstyle, a long, thin face, an exaggerated expression, and the look of a spoiled brat.

The unmodified Bellmare looks really irritating.

Yelena didn't indulge him either.

With a slight twitch of the finger, the syrup pellet flew out.

Pfft!

"Ouch!" Bellmeber clutched his nose and lay on the ground, tears streaming down his face from the pain. "Who? Who attacked me?!"

""

"Pfft—cough cough! Who dares to ambush our young master?"

The sailors chuckled, then quickly covered their mouths and turned to look for the culprit.

Zoro looked straight at him, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Young Master Bellemere, the road might be uneven. Let's hurry back." A bearded navy man helped him up.

"Damn it, who is it—wait, unfamiliar faces?" He looked towards the back of the crowd, where several unfamiliar figures stood. He immediately pointed, "It must be them! Quickly, take all these people back!"

The bearded navy man looked troubled. "They must be just passing through."

"You dare disobey my orders? Just you wait, I'll go back and tell Dad—Dad?"

Bellemere rolled his eyes and fainted.

The bearded navy man quickly supported the man, scrutinizing him with a questioning look in his eyes.

Finally, he shook his head and said to the other navy men, "Young Master may have heatstroke. Let's go back to the branch first."

The group quickly left.

"You guys go explore the town first, but don't forget to leave someone behind to watch the ship." Yelena followed the Navy with a video Den Den Mushi in hand.

The town of Shells is built on a hill, with the 153rd Navy branch located at the top of the hill.

As they approached the branch, a clanging sound came from above. Outside the branch gate, people dressed as naval officers and craftsmen were seen carrying stones in and out from time to time.

Yelena jumped to the top of the branch building, where a burly man with an axe attached to his arm was fiercely directing his men to work.

"Move the statue's base thirty centimeters to the right!"

"One centimeter off—what? You say it wasn't off? You bastard! How dare you question the great me?!"

The giant axe fell!

This guy is even more unreasonable than pirates.

Yelena flicked her fingers, and two syrup pellets flew toward Monka's ankle.

He lost his balance and fell forward.

The unfortunate craftsman opened his eyes, his face blank. "I'm not dead yet?"

"Damn it! Who dares to ambush the great—uh—"

As soon as Monka stood up, his eyes rolled upwards, and he slumped back down.

A navy officer cautiously approached. "Colonel Monca?"

"Stop shouting, he won't wake up anytime soon. Find a few dozen ropes and tie him up from head to toe."

The sailors stood frozen in place, staring at the person who had suddenly appeared.

"Don't worry about this guy retaliating. The Marine Headquarters already knows about his crimes and will send someone to arrest him within half a month at most. Until then, you can lock him up and keep an eye on him."

Yelena sighed. As a bounty hunter, he was actually helping the navy catch pests. What a waste of his job!
