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

Chapter 304 I'd Rather Die

New World, Fordbaltin Island, Blackbeard Pirates' base.

"Hahaha! A bounty hunter group? Interesting. Let's make them our next main target!"

The man with the black beard slammed the newspaper on the table, his eyes gleaming with intense excitement.

"Mythical Zoan, Logia, Paramecia! Those are all pretty good Devil Fruits, those guys are really lucky! But we're the luckiest ones! Zhehehehe—!"

Shiryu sat cross-legged on the floor, meticulously maintaining his sword, and said without looking up, "I want the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."

Van Augur, who was opposite him, stopped cleaning his gun. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Shiliu. "Swordsman and nature-based magic are not the best match. Relatively speaking, I am more suited to it."

"Heh!" Shiryu chuckled coldly, flicking his finger across the blade. "Let's have a fight. Only the survivors have the right to choose."

'

Van Augur turned and looked at Blackbeard expressionlessly.

As one of the earliest companions, Blackbeard instantly understood the meaning in his eyes.

This is to put him, the captain, on the side of the most loyal old crew members.

But what could he do?

Is Shiryu the kind of easy-going companion?

And his current suppressive power—

Blackbeard sighed several times in his heart, hiding his helplessness in the shadows, not daring to show the slightest hesitation in front of his subordinates.

"Hehehe—"

Blackbeard was about to burst into laughter to add some momentum to his next words, but he was interrupted by another subordinate as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Teach, I want that Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit that can control rocks and earth. Oh, and while you're at it, give me your admiral position too. The Blackbeard Pirates will be renamed the Evil King Pirates—hehehehehe!"

"Pizarro, don't joke like that!" Lafitte put down his glass and gave the person who interrupted a warning look.

The tyrannical King Abaro Pizarro spread his hands, grinned, and revealed a wanton smile. "So what? He can't even take down the Whitebeard Pirates without Whitebeard—"

Whoosh!

The black-bearded figure flashed and appeared in front of Abaro Pizarro, grabbing him by the collar with one hand and covering his other hand with Armament Haki, then slamming it down on his face!

Pizarro's eyelids twitched wildly, and he hurriedly used Armament Haki to defend himself.

BOOM! ...

Blood splattered, Pizarro's nose collapsed, his pupils trembled violently, and his gaze toward the black-bearded man quickly shifted from contempt to fear.

"Teach, no, Admiral, I was drunk just now." "Is that so?" The black-bearded man held onto Pizarro by the collar, but slowly turned his head toward Shiryu not far away, trying to see the other's expression.

Unfortunately, Shiryu kept his head down, applying oil to his sword, showing no intention of turning around.

"Get out of here if you're drunk. If I hear you say those words again—" The black-bearded man stared coldly at Pizarro, raising his massive fist once more.

Pizarro shrank back.

"snort!"

Blackbeard casually tossed the man out of the hall, where he landed right on the face of San Juan Wolf, who was peering curiously into the doorway.

The black-bearded man dusted off imaginary dust from his hands and swayed as he walked toward the head of the table. Passing by Shiryu's desk, his steps faltered slightly.

She paused, but didn't even glance at him, and went straight back to her seat.

He leaned back in his chair, bringing the wine bowl to his lips, but couldn't drink a single drop.

They could easily suppress the other companions, but only Shiryu, only this guy! Lately, he's become increasingly disobedient!

If he had successfully obtained Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power back then, he would now possess overwhelming strength!

Let alone making Shiryu obey, he probably already owns all of the Whitebeard Pirates' territory!

It's all that damn Float-Float Fruit user's fault!!

If that bastard hadn't interfered when he was about to succeed, how could he have ended up in this state?!

Let alone the throne of the Pirate King, he doesn't even have enough confidence to fight for the position of one of the Four Emperors!

Damn Ace! Why has his strength improved so quickly? Why doesn't he easily lose to him, like he did back then?

There's also the special Paramecia-type Gummy Fruit user we encountered in Mogu Town, that bastard who couldn't see his face and used the Elbaf Spear, who killed two of his potentially great companions!

Don't let me find you!

"Heh! The wine was good today. I'm going back now." Shiryu finished servicing his sword and left without looking back.

Blackbeard stared intently at his retreating figure, a sudden impulse rising within him: to find a powerful Paramecia-type Devil Fruit as soon as possible.

Actually, no, even Zoan-type Mythical Zoan species work!

If I can improve my strength by one level, I will definitely be able to overpower that arrogant guy and let him know who the captain of the Blackbeard Pirates is!

Blackbeard downed the wine in his bowl in one gulp, let out a soft sigh, and his excited emotions calmed down a little.

No, we have to wait until the Tremor-Tremor Fruit reappears, because only it can perfectly match the Dark-Dark Fruit.

We've waited so many years, what's a little longer?

New World, World of Warcraft, Whole Cake Island.

"The Black Robe Hunters left Dressrosa half a month ago. Since then, apart from the two of them appearing during their conflict with Kaido of the Beasts, no one has seen any trace of them."

Charlotte Mont-d'Or, the 19th son of the Charlotte Family, Minister of Cheese, and user of the Book-Book Fruit, shares recently received information with his brothers and sisters.

Before they could respond, he spoke first: "Excuse my bluntness, but even if we find the Black-Robed Hunters, we can't send anyone to bring them back."

"Even Kaido of the Beasts couldn't defeat the leader of the Black Robe Hunters, so which Sweet Commander is confident? If we try to win by numbers, the casualties will be greater than expected, and there's more than just the leader among them."

"It's not worth paying such a heavy price for a dead Caesar and the destroyed human giantification experiments."

Mondor paused for a moment, then continued, "Unless Mother herself has to step in."

"It's just dealing with a few bounty hunters, Katakuri could capture them all by himself! Katakuri is the strongest!" Brûlée wrinkled her nose, her words full of resentment.

"That's right, that's right, brother is the most perfect man!" Some of the younger siblings chimed in.

"Ahem, don't interrupt, Brulee." Katakuri glanced at Brulee helplessly.

Who do you think I am?

Even Kaido couldn't keep someone here, and I'm going to capture him?

Who's arresting whom?

Katakuri felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about the way those people behaved.

The perfect older brother in the eyes of his younger siblings has been kidnapped and is demanding a ransom from his family.

Hiss!

He felt that it would be easier to accept to commit suicide on the spot.

"Notify intelligence personnel in all areas to temporarily abandon the search for the Black Robe Hunters," Katakuri ordered.

Seeing that the strongest brother had made his choice, the others nodded in agreement.

"Another important piece of information: Crocodile has reappeared. Who will go this time?" Montor looked at the group.

Charlotte Opera looked excitedly and expectantly at the generals.

He was badly beaten by Crocodile back then, and even months later, the painful memory was still fresh in his mind.

"I'll go instead." Cracker stepped forward.

"No, I'll do it." Smoothie stood up. "That guy's strength is about the same as yours. If you go over there, it'll just be a lose-lose situation."

"Impossible! I will not let him escape this time!" Cracker's eyes blazed with fire, his posture one of absolute certainty.

"Leave this to Smoothie," Katakuri ordered again.

Smoothie glanced smugly at Cracker, whose face flushed red, but in the end he didn't dare disobey Katakuri's orders.
