Chapter 121 Do you like fireworks?
"What? The black-robed hunter is here... Ah? He actually came!"
All the pirates in the restaurant put down their bowls and chopsticks at the same time, stood up, and stared at the two people who had just entered.
Yelena paused, then pulled her right foot back.
The next second, she quickly retreated out of the restaurant.
"Quickly, call for help!"
"Quick, after them!"
Some of the pirates picked up Den Den Mushi to contact their comrades, while others rushed out of the restaurant with weapons.
"Get out of the way, 500 million Berries is mine!"
"I'm betting everything on the captain, fifty to one! If I win, I'll be rich!"
The pirates shouted loudly, but not one of them dared to step forward.
Yelena stopped, and so did they, maintaining a distance of more than twenty meters between them.
Vivi's gaze swept across everyone's faces, then she leaned down and whispered in Yelena's ear, "There are three guys with bounties on their heads, but the bounties are all very low, the highest being only thirty million."
Only 30 million?
Yelena found it amusing. Vivi was getting more and more powerful. In the past, when she encountered pirates of this level, she couldn't even withstand a single move from them, but now she didn't take them seriously at all.
A group of people stared at each other on the street, and five minutes later, no one had made a move.
A pirate captain wearing a tricorn hat walked up to the one-eyed captain on the right. "Something's not right. Is this guy really the Black Robe Hunter? Why isn't he making a move?"
He was prepared to ambush someone from behind.
The one-eyed captain raised his chin and pointed diagonally at the two figures ahead whose faces were obscured. "Perhaps they are imposters. Why don't you give it a try?"
"I won't... Ah!"
A straight beam of sword energy flew in, piercing a bloody hole in the captain's neck.
A person who was just jumping around a moment ago has turned into a corpse in the blink of an eye.
"Ah!" "Help!"
The black-robed hunter charged into the pirate group, his longsword flashing, each strike taking at least one life.
Overwhelming power, the iconic red slash...
The one-eyed captain trembled as he backed away, "It's...it's him! It's definitely him!"
Puff!
The one-eyed captain felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw a katana covered in flame patterns protruding more than half a foot from his chest, quickly drawing away his body heat.
Vivi drew her long sword, not even glancing at the corpse on the ground, and turned to look for her next target.
In just a few seconds, none of the thirty-odd pirates escaped; they all perished under the swords of the two men.
"Quick! It's over there!"
Shouts came from afar. Looking up, hundreds of pirates charged towards them, weapons raised.
Yelena nodded in satisfaction. It was worth the time she had spent stalling for time; another wave had finally arrived.
"Catch the black-robed hunter!" Hundreds of pirates rushed in from the other side of the street.
Yelena looked at Vivi and said, "Stay close to me and be careful to protect yourself."
"Okay, don't worry."
Just as the two groups of pirates were less than fifty meters away from the two men, a dark figure leaped down from the rooftop behind them.
"Get out of my way! This guy is my prey!" The dark figure punched Yelena in the head.
The two jumped to the side, their fists slamming into the ground.
Boom!
Smoke and dust billowed.
The rock-paved street was instantly smashed, creating a crater, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading more than ten meters away.
The dark figure rose from the pit, the blackness on its face fading to reveal its true appearance.
He was a burly man over two meters tall, with a hard face and fierce eyes.
"It's Bloodhand Schiru!" Vivi exclaimed in a low voice.
Yelena recognized the person who came.
Another supernova besides Cavendish, with a bounty of 100 million Berries, is a Paramecia-type Iron-Iron Fruit user.
He was ruthless and liked to smash his enemies' heads to pieces with his fists. After a battle, his hands were often covered in blood.
It was known as the Blood Hand.
This nickname complements Redfoot Zeff's, but it's unclear who is better between the two.
"So you're the black-robed hunter. You're quite impressive, managing to dodge my attack. Come on, again!"
Schiru sneered, his body instantly turning iron black, his two iron fists colliding with each other, sparks flying everywhere.
He swung his fist at him again.
Yelena stepped back, a look of realization on her face. The opponent's Devil Fruit ability should be similar to Diamond Jozu's, which could only transform the body into iron before it was awakened.
Bang!
Another shallow pothole appeared on the street.
Yelena swung her sword at Schirul's arm.
This guy neither dodged nor avoided, but went straight at her.
"it's useless!"
clang!
The sound of metal clashing carried far, yet not a single mark was left on Schiru's arm.
He sneered, "I told you it was useless. My abilities can even stop a cannon!"
"Aren't you a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user? Hurry up and transform, don't leave me wanting more."
What, you're into having fun too?
Swish!
As Yelena dodged the punch, she looked towards Vivi, who was already engaged in combat with the arriving pirates.
Yelena didn't dwell on Schiru, bypassed him, and went to Vivi's side, whispering, "It's about time."
Just as Weiwei was about to nod, her eyelids suddenly twitched. "Watch out!"
Schirul's fist came to the back of Yelena's head, and she could feel the force of the wind even through her hood.
"Go to hell!"
As Yelena dodged the attack, she reached out and grabbed Schiru's arm, pulling him to the side.
Bang!
Squirrel's fist slammed into the ground, sending several pirates flying.
Yelena's gaze passed over Schiru and landed on the street a few hundred meters away, where a white figure was rapidly approaching.
"Black-robed hunter, Lord Cavendish has come to defeat you!"
"Herod!"
As he shouted, the neighing of horses followed.
Yelena was speechless. This guy was actually riding a horse? Did he think they were on a spring outing?
Cavendish was followed by a large number of pirates, roughly two or three thousand, and the sound of tremors could be heard continuously from the street.
These guys must think Cavendish has a high winning percentage and want to follow him around and pick up the scraps.
Yelena nodded to Weiwei, and the two quickly left the street, running eastward.
"Halt, black-robed hunter!"
Schiru jumped to his feet and chased after the two of them first.
The pirates realized what was happening and followed.
A few minutes later, Yelena and Vivi rushed out of the town and headed towards the plains to the east.
"Quickly, notify someone to set sail, land on the beach, and intercept them!"
The town was filled with noise, including the shouts of pirates and the calls of Den Den Mushi (snail communication devices).
Cavendish rode his white horse and quickly overtook all the pirates, joining Skiru in the middle. Their target was just twenty meters ahead of them.
"Hey, the black-robed hunter is my opponent. If you dare to steal it, I'll beat you up too!"
Schiru remained silent, focusing only on running.
With human strength, we can keep pace with the horse.
Half an hour later.
"Damn it! How can those two run so fast? Faruru is exhausted!"
Cavendish dismounted and stroked its neck tenderly. "You go back to the captain and wait for me. I'll come back to you after I defeat that bastard."
"Hee-hee-hee~" the white horse replied weakly, then turned and headed south.
Cavendish, brimming with energy, easily overtook Scharnhorst, making a face at him as he did so. "Just wait and see the spectacular sight of me defeating the Black-Robed Hunter!"
Scharu remained silent and continued running.
The footsteps behind her grew clearer, and when Yelena turned around, Cavendish was right in front of her.
"Caught you... What?!" Cavendish's smile froze on his face.
Yelena and Vivi turned north, once again widening the distance between themselves and the people behind them.
The two led the pirates in circles on the plains on the east side of the island. At one point, they even appeared between two supernovas and ordinary pirates, but quickly moved away when the two sides got close and continued running towards the sea.
An hour later, Yelena and Vivi stopped in front of a rock about 500 meters from the sea.
At this moment, the beach was filled with pirate ships, and countless pirates jumped off the ships and rushed towards the two of them.
"Run, run... huff... huff... why, why did you stop running?"
Cavendish was covered in sweat, his long golden hair was matted together, and his aura as a pirate prince had completely vanished.
Schiru's expression was much calmer, though his breathing became a little heavier.
"Your stamina is good," Yelena praised.
He sprinted at full speed for an hour and a half and was still able to stay calm; this guy is the only one who can do that.
Most of the pirates behind the two were exhausted and collapsed on the ground.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Schiru did not launch an attack immediately; a sense of vigilance rose in his eyes.
More than three thousand pirates who had chased after them from the town were all behind them.
"You clearly had a chance to shake us off, but you kept deliberately leading us in circles, just so those good-for-nothings could keep up?"
Yelena nodded. "It's easier to deal with pirates when they're grouped together."
"You two think you can take on a hundred pirate crews and nearly ten thousand pirates?!" Skiru sneered.
As he finished speaking, the pirates who had come from the sea also arrived nearby, outnumbering those from the town by more than double.
"Black-robed hunter, you can't escape!"
"Five hundred million Berries!"
The chaotic noise instantly drowned out Yelena and Schiru's voices.
Yelena turned her head and looked around. There were pirates everywhere. Looking at the weapons in their hands, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I've become the world boss. These guys are just here to fight monsters."
"What did you say?" Vivi's attention was drawn to the pirates around her, and she didn't hear what Yelena said.
"It's nothing... By the way, do you like watching fireworks?"
