Chapter 133 Must-See Things in Loguetown
"The cleanup crew has arrived."
As soon as Vivi finished speaking, Robin nodded in agreement. "It's the Navy. The officer in charge looks like he's not someone to mess with. I'll take this guy on the ground back to the ship first."
She has been using her abilities to monitor her surroundings.
Yelena glanced at Robin's back and shook her head with a smile. Although her strength had increased compared to before, she still hadn't changed her habit of hiding from the Marines.
"Let's go."
Yelena took off her black robe, stacked the two boxes (one large and one small) on her shoulder, and handed the rest to Vivi.
"These guys have gone too far lately and have already caused dissatisfaction among the townspeople. It is necessary to put them in jail for a couple of days."
""
Before we even left the alley, a deep male voice reached our ears, followed by a clear female voice: "Colonel Smoker, one side of the conflict is, after all, a subordinate of a Shichibukai. Wouldn't it cause trouble if we directly arrested them—"
"Tashigi, is all you think about are those famous swords and blades? Have you forgotten everything I told you before?"
"Sorry! Let me think—ah, I remember now, you said the Don Quixote family can't beat those gangsters, and once their tracks are discovered, they'll have a hard time escaping. We'll keep watch nearby and go arrest them after their fight is over!"
"Idiot, you know it in your heart, but who told you to say—who?!"
Yelena stepped out of the alley and was met with a pair of wary eyes.
White hair, cold face, bare chest, carrying a fishing stick on his shoulder.
Isn't that Smoker?
Everyone says the execution platform is a must-see in Loguetown, but she doesn't think so. What's the point of an inanimate object compared to those vividly characterized people? Coming to Loguetown and not seeing Smoker would be a wasted trip.
After all, there are not many naval officers who are intelligent, have a strong sense of justice, and are not rigid in their thinking.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just passing by."
Yelena nodded slightly to Smoker and walked past him with the box in her arms.
Smoker's gaze followed her, his eyebrows furrowed deeply. "Wait—"
"etc!"
Before Smoker could finish speaking, Tashigi behind him shouted out.
Seeing that everyone was looking over, she blushed, lowered her head and rushed to Weiwei's side, her eyes shining brightly as she stared at Weiwei's waist through her glasses.
"I'm so sorry to have stopped you, but could I please take a look at this knife? Please!"
Vivi's eyes flashed with confusion, probably because it was the first time she had encountered such a situation. After regaining her senses, she drew her sword and held it in front of the navy officer blocking her path. "You can look, but you can't touch."
"Hmm!" Tashigi pulled a book from her pocket, quickly flipping to a page. "A straight blade, beautiful flame patterns! That's right, it's 'Hanazumi,' one of the fifty-one excellent swords. Finally, I've seen it—oh dear, I haven't finished reading it yet!"
A smoky arm reached behind Dasqi, grabbed her by the collar, and pulled her back to where she was.
After glaring fiercely at his knife-obsessed subordinate, Smoker returned his gaze to Yelena.
"When you came out of that alley, did you see anything unusual?"
"Unusual situation—does the corpses all over the ground count? It's right in the middle of the alley. I glanced at it as I passed by the door, and it gave me a huge shock! These days, even gangsters are this ruthless in their shootouts."
Yelena wiped away non-existent cold sweat from her face and patted her chest.
Smoker's expression changed slightly, and his lower body turned into smoke, floating in the air. "Please stay here a little longer, Tashigi. You stay with them."
Yelena waved her hands repeatedly, "No need, I have something to do later, you guys go ahead and do your work, bye!"
After saying that, she turned and left.
"You two seem suspicious. You should stay here for now. If my intuition is wrong, I will personally come to apologize later."
Whoosh.
A barely perceptible whistling sound filled the air.
"Be careful," Vivi warned, but there was no trace of worry in her voice.
Yelena drew her longsword from her waist, twisted her wrist, and swiftly slapped the blade against the incoming smoke arm.
Bang!
The smoke was thrown to one side, barely dissipating, before trembling and returning along the same path.
"The colonel got hit? How is that possible?!" Tashigi took off her glasses, rubbed her eyes, and looked completely incredulous.
Smoker raised his hand, revealing a clear red mark on his palm, and his expression darkened.
"Armament Haki, you are indeed no ordinary person."
Yelena sheathed her sword and chuckled, "If you try to test me again, it won't be as simple as just hitting my hand."
Before leaving, she glanced at the smoke around Smoker, shook her head, and said, "Stop thinking about your Devil Fruit ability all the time. Spend more time practicing your physical skills, or you won't even be able to become a substitute hero in the future."
Out of respect for this guy being one of my most admired naval officers, I'll say a few more words. Whether he listens or not is up to him.
Smoker watched Yelena's departing figure, his expression shifting several times, but ultimately he didn't choose to chase after her. "Send some men to find out where they came from."
"yes!"
On the way back, Yelena slowed down and walked side by side with Vivi.
"That treasure is a Devil Fruit. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Paramecia-type Barrier-Barrier Fruit. After eating it, the barrier created by the user's ability can withstand all attacks."
Yelena paused for a moment, then continued, "It might sound a bit exaggerated, but there have been instances where even powerhouses close to the level of the Four Emperors couldn't harm it in the slightest. Interested?"
"You're just giving me something this amazing?" Weiwei's eyes lit up, and the corners of her lips unconsciously turned up slightly.
"After all—after all, we are comrades." Yelena almost blurted out the wrong thing.
She wanted to say that Robin couldn't eat it all anyway, but she realized her mistake and quickly changed her mind.
Vivi didn't notice this. She lowered her head and pondered for a while, then finally shook her head. "I still prefer something more aggressive, or an animal-type ability that enhances oneself in all aspects."
"I see. I'll keep an eye out for you later."
There are a few powerful but unclaimed Zoan-type Devil Fruits, but they're a bit tricky to find.
Back on the ship, Yelena repeated what she had just said to Vivi to everyone.
After a moment of silence, Ikaram spoke first, "Let them choose. I'll be returning to Alabasta soon, so there's no need for me to become a Devil Fruit user."
Yelena nodded. This captain of the guard had a family and it was unlikely that he would continue to take risks with the group indefinitely.
Miss Monday clenched her fists, veins bulging and muscles bulging on her arms. "I'm not interested in barriers; absolute power would be more suitable."
Another one refused, leaving only —
Everyone turned to look at Mr. 9. He was trying to appear calm with his lips tightly pressed together, but the smile that was about to burst out of his eyes betrayed him completely.
"Pfft—cough cough—pfft—hahahaha! Thank you so much, boss! I'll follow you for life!"
Mr. 9 finally couldn't hold back his emotions and rolled around on the deck with the fruit in his arms.
A dozen seconds later, a pale green, semi-transparent barrier appeared before everyone's eyes.
