Chapter 39 Xiao Ming, who has done all sorts of bad things
The blood-red slash tore through the air and flew to the fence in an instant.
Whoosh!
When the slave traders saw that the navy was indeed retreating one after another as they had said, they felt a sense of relief and their fingers on the triggers instinctively moved aside.
Just then, a chilling sensation suddenly came from behind!
They wanted to react, but it was too late.
"what!"
The straight sword wave was like a red-hot iron skewer, turning the people standing in front of the fence into meat skewers!
After piercing through five people in succession, the sword wave turned sideways, making a ninety-degree turn to the right, and sliced across the necks or chests of several slave traders under their horrified gazes.
Cries of pain followed one after another, and the room was immediately filled with the smell of blood.
Yelena smiled with satisfaction as she looked at the results of her efforts.
That damned wave-slashing technique finally didn't fail at the crucial moment!
"There are still enemies!!"
The surviving slave traders shouted as they rushed toward the cell doors, trying to regain control of the hostages.
Yelena wouldn't give these people a chance.
She and T. Penn arrived at the fence at the same time, firmly protecting the kidnapped civilians behind them.
"Right-angled bird!"
A bird flying at a right angle!
Two longswords with very different designs fell at the same time.
Whoosh!
T. Penn's slash flew into the crowd, shattering weapons and splattering blood wherever it passed; no enemy could withstand it head-on.
Yelena's side...
She silently sheathed her longsword and took out a pistol from her waist.
boom!
A slave trader collapsed with a bloody splatter on his chest, screaming in agony.
Isn't it just a ranged attack?
Who doesn't have that?
The navy dispersed and formed an encirclement around the perimeter to ensure that no enemy could escape capture.
During the reload, Yelena looked around and noticed that there weren't many enemies left standing. Her eyes lit up, and an idea formed in her mind.
She rushed toward the survivors, pausing briefly as she passed a slave trader with a knife.
It happened so quickly that it went unnoticed by anyone.
Seeing that Yelena had her back to him, the man's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he raised his katana to stab her in the back!
"Watch out!" T. Penn exclaimed.
Yelena was prepared for the enemy's surprise attack.
While twisting to avoid the knife, he kicked the enemy in the chest!
The slave trader with the knife was instantly kicked away, his body flying over the surrounding navy and slamming hard into the gate!
Bang!
The door couldn't withstand the pressure and wobbled outwards.
The slave trader groaned as he scrambled to his feet from the collapsed doorway, clutching his chest as he ran outside, his face filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a near-death experience.
He wanted to thank the man in black!
Although he had several ribs broken, he was lucky enough to escape the navy's encirclement!
Worth it!
The navy, jolted awake by the unexpected turn of events, grabbed their guns and gave chase.
Yelena pulled her longsword from the throat of the last slave trader and called out to the navy officer who had chased her to the door.
"Colonel T. Penn and I will go after the enemy. You are responsible for escorting these people to the warship. If you encounter pirates along the way, just avoid them. Protecting the civilians is the top priority."
Upon hearing the order, the navy men all looked at T. Penn. They had some trust in the black-robed hunter before them, but this was their superior.
"Do as she says!"
T. Penn did not hesitate and immediately made a decision.
His men retrieved keys from the bags of the corpses on the ground to rescue the civilians. He walked up to Yelena and urged her to set off quickly.
"What's the rush? Take out your life card and let me see it."
T. Peng En's eyes flickered, and he instantly guessed what Yelena meant.
Opening my palm, I saw that the Life Card was indeed slowly moving in a certain direction.
"You tore off a corner of the Vivre Card fragment I gave you and hid it on that guy?"
T. Peng looked at Yelena with surprise. How did she know that the Life Card could be used in this way?
Surely they couldn't have taken classes at Naval Headquarters too, could they?
The two men followed the surviving slave trader at a distance, circling around a large part of the city, and watched him enter a garbage disposal plant.
The two scaled the wall and sneaked into the factory, stopping outside a huge warehouse.
The life card indicates that the person stopped moving shortly after entering the warehouse.
"Strange, why are there so many pirates here?"
T. Penn hid behind the garbage heap, only showing half of his head, cautiously looking ahead.
Hundreds of pirates of all kinds gathered in the open space outside the warehouse gate.
Different factions deliberately kept their distance from each other; some were chatting, some were drinking, and they didn't disturb each other.
Seeing this, Yelena suddenly remembered the information she had learned from the Little Braid Pirate—that Devil Fruits were sold in Spider Eri's underground black market.
Could it be right here?
In the North Sea, only the Don Quixote family would engage in this kind of transaction.
This reminds me of the slave traders who infiltrated the factory...
Right.
She had long suspected that the kidnapping incident in Beihai was likely related to the Don Quixote family.
Now, the fact that the surviving slave traders arrived in their territory immediately after escaping directly turned the speculation into reality.
Xiao Ming, you really have done all sorts of bad things.
After careful consideration, Yelena told T. Penn the information she knew.
This swordsmanship teacher, who looks grotesque but is kind at heart, takes investigating the kidnapping of civilians very seriously, even prioritizing it over capturing pirates.
One day in the future, there is a high possibility of a direct conflict with the person hiding behind the scenes.
Tell the other party the information so that he won't be unable to find the reason when Doflamingo targets him in the future.
However, it is more likely that Doflamingo will sever his ties with the slave trade altogether.
However, this opportunity can be used to have T. Penn report the information he has learned to the Navy Headquarters, so that they can investigate Doflamingo's background.
Even if nothing is found in the end, it can still cause some trouble for Doflamingo, forcing him to give up the slave trade.
"It's actually related to the Seven Warlords of the Sea?!" T. Peng En's face showed indescribable shock.
Unexpectedly, the investigation into the kidnapping led them to such a behemoth.
However, this is just the speculation of the swordsmanship student beside him. Whether there is any real connection remains to be investigated.
if it is real……
T. Peng En's eyes were firm; even if the other party was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he would not be afraid in the slightest!
"Let's split up. I'm interested in the Devil Fruit trade and plan to attend the auction. You go around to the back of the warehouse and see who that slave trader is contacting."
Yelena took a large white cloak from her backpack and unfolded it to cover herself.
In the past year or so, more than twenty pirate captains have died at her hands, making the Black-Robed Hunter one of the most famous bounty hunters in the North Blue.
To avoid being mistaken for someone else, some people who want to conceal their identity will even deliberately avoid black when choosing a cloak.
She practically became the face of the black robe.
When she stopped on the street earlier, she blended in unnoticed among a group of tall sailors wearing dark cloaks.
If we don't disguise ourselves and enter the warehouse in front of hundreds of pirates, it will definitely cause a huge uproar. It's better to keep a low profile for easier operation.
