Chapter 116 Fishman Karate
According to intelligence provided by Agent Baroque, after Yelena and her group left the town, they walked about three kilometers west along the coastline and spotted the pirate ship in a narrow bay.
Mr. 9 hid behind a rock, peeking out half his head and staring at the figures on the pirate ship below.
"That kid wasn't lying. The fish-man pirates were indeed hiding here. They're not very strong, but they're quite good at gathering information."
Yelena nodded to herself. After all, he was someone personally appointed by Robin, so he must have some skills.
Over the past year, Baroque Works' intelligence network has expanded rapidly, even sending agents to remote islands like Hannabal Island. Robin has treated intelligence work as his own business.
"You all stay nearby and keep watch, I'm going down to check," Yelena instructed.
"I'll go with you." Vivi's eyes lit up as she curiously stared at the bay below. "I've never seen a fish-man before."
We've never seen it either!
Mr. 9 and the others also looked curious, but unlike Vivi, they didn't have a close relationship with Yelena and didn't dare to make a request.
The group got up and went to different positions to take on guard duties.
"Okay, you come with me. Keep it quiet and don't attract the attention of the fishmen."
Fish-man pirates are different from ordinary people. If they jump into the sea, how can she catch up with them?
Yelena held her breath and jumped into the bay.
The cliff face was not smooth; it had many protrusions. Using these stones as footholds, she covered dozens of meters in the blink of an eye and arrived at the side of the pirate ship.
Weiwei followed suit.
"Brother Willie, human pirates are besieging the Black-Robed Hunter, why are we coming to help?"
"I heard that guy is tough to deal with, and he has no grudge against us. Should we just leave?"
"Shut up, all of you! That's 500 million Berries! You don't want it?"
Willie leaned against the cabin wall, opened his mouth full of fangs, and took a big gulp of strong liquor.
"I've bet so much money at the casino, how can I not make it back? Humph, with odds of one to twenty, those bastards don't even take me seriously!"
"I admit the black-robed hunter is powerful; I'm no match for her on land, but what about in the sea?"
"Once the casino people spread the word to the underworld that pirates are gathering on the island, we'll ambush them underwater and destroy all ships that approach the island!"
"No matter how powerful the black-robed hunters are, the ocean is the merfolk's domain! No one can defeat us underwater!"
Willie threw down the bottle, stood up, walked to the center of the deck, spread his arms wide, and his ferocious face was filled with pride.
"Indeed, the merfolk's talent is indeed very strong."
"Hahahaha! You have good eyes... Who?!" Willie's smile froze on his face.
He opened his eyes wide and looked ahead, where a human female figure stood on the bow of the ship.
"Who are you?! What are you doing here?"
Willie reached behind his back, and a fishman pirate deftly handed him a weapon.
"How dare they..."
hum~
Before Willie could finish speaking, an invisible wave of energy erupted from the man's body, instantly engulfing the entire pirate ship!
Boom!
Willie had barely gotten a feel for the weapon when it fell onto the deck.
"Conqueror's Haki?!"
Cold sweat beaded on Willie's forehead, and his legs trembled as he took a few steps back until his path was blocked by the cabin.
Yelena's eyes flashed with surprise; this merman was much weaker than she had imagined... Wait a minute!
Could it be that the fishmen aren't too weak, but that I'm too strong?
It's not impossible.
Since entering the Grand Line, through constant hunting of pirates and intensive training, his physical attributes have improved significantly.
In addition, he had never encountered any strong opponents, which led to a lack of self-awareness regarding his own abilities.
How about we wait until we get back and test our swordsmanship with Old Sha?
The thought lingered in her mind for a mere 0.5 seconds before Yelena cruelly crushed it.
No, that's too risky.
Crocodile's strength is unknown. What if he displays a bounty of over a billion when facing someone other than Luffy?
It still needs further improvement.
Yelena activated her Observation Haki, taking in the situation inside and outside the cabin. Apart from the guy opposite her, all the other fishmen were unconscious.
She was worried that one or two fishmen might escape if she wasn't careful, thus exposing her attack and arousing the suspicion of the pirates on the island.
Now you can rest assured.
"What exactly are you...?"
A bird flying at a right angle!
Swish!
"Ugh!" Willie couldn't dodge in time and was pierced through the neck by the sword wave, trembling as he fell forward.
"you……"
Whoosh!
Yelena appeared beside Willie, her longsword piercing his back, silencing his last words.
Willie stared wide-eyed, then gradually lost his breath.
"Uh, actually you can wait until he finishes speaking before you make your move." Vivi jumped down from the top of the cabin.
The look in his eyes towards the fish-man pirates was full of sympathy. He was interrupted several times in a row. Could he have died with his eyes open in disbelief?
"I'll definitely do it next time."
Yelena took out Willie's wanted poster and wiped the blood off the blade.
While Vivi went into the cabin to finish off the enemy, Yelena summoned the item [Super Bounty].
[Identification successful. The attribute obtained this time is Willie's Fishman Karate. Inherit?]
Yelena frowned. Why would a swordswoman like her learn fishman karate?
What she wants is the underwater combat talent of the merfolk!
"inherit!"
Forget it, it's all already been generated, let's just inherit it.
If I refuse this time, what if they reappear next time I encounter the fish-man pirates?
I'll reserve this spot first.
Summon the attribute panel.
[Name: Yelena]
[Age: 17]
[Strength: 48]
[Agility: 39]
[Constitution: 48]
[Armament Haki: None]
[Observation Haki: Intermediate (10%)]
[Conqueror's Haki: Intermediate (50%)]
[Skills: Court Swordsmanship, Right Angle Swordsmanship, Fishman Karate]
[Devil Fruit Ability: Polar Bear Form, Boom-Boom Fruit (Abridged Version)]
Yelena's gaze lingered on the "Agility" column, and she sighed inwardly; speed had now become her weakness.
Most of the pirates I've encountered before are strength-based, strong and durable, and their strength and physique attributes are relatively easy to acquire.
Several of the agility attributes she possesses now are the result of over a year of intensive weight training.
"All done." Vivi dragged several fishman corpses out of the cabin.
"Okay, let's move it upstairs."
The fishman pirate crew in front of us is not large; including Captain Willy, there are only a dozen or so fishmen.
The two men carried them ashore without much effort.
"Boss, fish-men should be used to sea burial, right?"
Mr. 9 raised his shovel and placed the last shovelful of soil on the grave mound.
"Who knows? Let's just say they're adapting to local customs for now."
Yelena gave a casual reply, her mind preoccupied with other things.
