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

Chapter 298 You also want to become the Pirate King?

Another recruitment attempt?

Am I some kind of chosen working-class person?

Why are so many forces trying to get me to join them and work for them?

Yelena crushed the rocks beneath her feet, turned her body, and jumped to the side.

Boom!!

Kaido's heavy blow landed on the ground, an explosion rang out, and mushroom-shaped plumes of smoke slowly drifted into the sky.

"If you join the Beasts Pirates, I can overlook your killing of Caesar and the destruction of the artificial Devil Fruit factory. I can even make you my right-hand man!"

Kaido spread his arms wide and shouted, "Let's build the world's strongest Zoan-type army together!"

While Kaido was in a frenzy, Yelena slowly regulated her breathing.

This guy still loves recruiting his enemies.

Defeated samurai were captured and imprisoned. Supernovas who dared to challenge them were spared. Even Luffy was locked up and left to be guarded by his subordinates.

They only think that one day they will submit.

I really don't know if it's confidence or just carelessness.

"Have you thought it through, brat!" Kaido swung his club down!

Even with the aura of power neutralizing it, Yelena was still sent flying dozens of meters away, her back slamming hard into a boulder that had fallen from the sky earlier, and she was embedded inside the rock.

Is this retribution?

Yelena patted the rock wall, and the rock instantly shattered into pieces. She stood up from the pile of rubble and wiped the blood that had flowed down her chin.

"Recruitment? What interviewer conducts interviews with the intention of killing off new employees?"

Kaido strode over, carrying his spiked club, his mouth splitting open to reveal his fangs and a cruel smile.

"Anyone who can be easily killed is not qualified to be my right-hand man!"

I thank you, you bastard!

"Whose left arm is it? Jin?"

"He has followed me for many years, he is loyal and reliable." Kaido nodded.

It seems that Kaido's intended right and left arms are Yamato and King, respectively.

That's right. Yamato's potential and strength are above King's, making him the best candidate for the second-in-command of the Beasts Pirates.

However, Yamato might be a little rebellious and not very bright. Kaido had no intention of continuing to train his subordinates; when he encountered a strong fighter he admired, he decided to recruit him.

From this perspective, Yelena felt that some of the traits she displayed were very much to Kaido's liking.

But isn't the sincerity a bit too low?

The Navy offered her the rank and benefits of a Marine Admiral. Even if she didn't consider her personal preferences, the appeal of being the second-in-command of the Four Emperors wasn't enough.

"What's your decision?" Kaido's smile remained unchanged, and the crimson-black lightning on his weapon grew increasingly dense.

Yelena understood that this meant they didn't agree to be beaten to death.

She smiled too.

A pirate attempts to use force to turn those who hate pirates into pirates themselves.

"Right arm and left arm, the last time I heard such a title was when Rayleigh and Jabba the Mountain Devourer. You also want to become the Pirate King?"

'

"Of course! I will become the Pirate King! Oro ro ro!" Kaido laughed loudly, his confident voice echoing throughout the valley.

With his laughter, a powerful and domineering aura erupted from his body, transforming into a whirlwind that swept across the surroundings.

Yelena waved her hand to block the falling leaves.

That's really impressive.

"Do you know what my dream is?"

"Hmm?" Kaido's maniacal laughter stopped, and he looked down at Kaido from his high position.

"Actually, I'm really looking forward to the appearance of a new Pirate King."

Yelena smiled faintly and said in a calm tone, "That way I can defeat him in front of the whole world, and then maybe people will call me the King of Bounty Hunters."

"But none of that matters. What matters is that I want to be the one to end the Great Pirate Era!"

Yelena's voice wasn't as loud as Kaido's, but every word she spoke was firm and resounding.

Kaido's expression showed a hint of surprise, as if he hadn't expected the person opposite him to say such a thing.

"Pfft—Pfft hahaha!" After realizing what had happened, Kaido burst into laughter, swinging his spiked club back and forth in his hand, almost losing his grip.

"Do you know what you're saying? Hahaha—end the Great Pirate Era? You? A mere bounty hunter? Ha!"

Kaido's laughter caused most of the surrounding Haki to dissipate.

Yelena pursed her lips, speechless. "I didn't even laugh at your dream, and you're laughing at me instead?"

What kind of people are these?

Whoosh!

Her figure flashed, transforming into a streak of black light, and in the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of Kaido, her longsword thrusting straight into his chest!

"Pfft, haha—hey, what are you doing—"

BOOM!

Kaido's chest scales were shattered by the violent Haki, and before any blood could splatter, he was sent flying backward, his body curled up.

Yelena seized the opportunity to catch up and reappeared beside the other party.

Kaido slammed his tail into the ground, forcibly turning his body around. Yelena's slash missed, and she was kicked away by Kaido.

"Damn it, you actually ambushed me?!" Kaido stood up from the ground and charged forward, swinging his weapon.

Moonwalk!

Yelena forcibly changed her trajectory while being forced to fly, thus dodging Kaido's heavy blow.

"You dare say something like 'ending the Age of Exploration'? Who do you think you are? A righteous navy?"

Kaido swung his spiked club relentlessly, and every time Yelena tried to block, her body would uncontrollably retreat backward.

"You think this disgusting and boring world would become a better place without pirates? Don't dream about it!"

"Roaring Eight Trigrams!"

Brother, just say what you want to say, don't suddenly unleash your ultimate move!

Yelena's domineering aura was shattered, and her body flew backward like a kite with a broken string!

Boom!!

This time, she was embedded halfway up the mountain, her view completely blocked by the rolling rocks.

Would the world be better without One Piece?

She would never dream of thinking that way.

Pirates deserve to die, those who sell intelligent life as slaves deserve to die, and so does everyone on the Red Line—

However, things must be done step by step. She couldn't just shout about rebelling in front of Kaido, could she?

"Hmm?" Yelena gently patted her chest, trying to relieve the intense pain. Just as she patted it twice, a few glimmers of light appeared in the darkness ahead.

What could be transmitted through the cracks between the stones?

The answer is self-evident.

Yelena relinquished her beastman form, her body becoming elemental, and quickly merged into the gap below.

Boom!!!

The heat exploded fully, piercing through the mountain in half, turning the rock walls red-hot, and molten liquid continued to drip downwards.

"Where is everyone?" Kaido reverted from his dragon form to his beastman form and looked in confusion at the red void hundreds of meters away.

Yelena traversed the underground at high speed, and wherever she went, soil and rocks were quickly transformed into sand.

She hesitated for less than a fraction of a second before giving up on using sand as an attack method. It was no different from tickling Kaido, and her Armament Haki wasn't strong enough to cover a large area of ​​sand.

It can only be used as a means of evading attacks for now.

"Here it is!"

Kaido leaped into the air, his spiked club spinning in his hand, before slamming it down onto the ground at an angle.

Boom!!!

The ground exploded, and Yelena's figure stepped on the flying debris, turning several times in the air, and came behind Kaido.

The final blow, whether it hits or not, should be withdrawn.

She doesn't have much of her domineering presence left.
