章節 5: Raiding a Marine Base
In the end, Tashigi decided to accept the bet with flushed cheeks, causing Yuna to chuckle in amusement while leaving after blowing Tashigi a kiss, making her blush even harder.
'Well, well, well, what a good start for this new adventure~.'
[I'll just pretend that that good mood comes from getting a good sword.]
'Sure, if that makes you feel better.'
As Yuna continued walking, searching for certain jobs, she mentally went through a list of things she should properly acquire before she started traveling.
'Well, since this world seems to be heavily reliant on sea travel to get around, I guess I'll need to either get a few books on navigation or directly get myself a navigator. A female one, obviously.
Well, traveling with the straw hats is an option as well, as it is a rather interesting group, but in the end, I feel like that Captain is too unreliable.
Well, what else do I need? Obviously, I need to get my hands on all kinds of tools for survival. Well, I could use my ice for most things, but let's do this properly.
Anyway, food and water are obviously a must-have, and I should get a map of this area as well. Maybe I can even get one of the Grand Line? Oh well, we'll see about that.
Phew, so much to do. It makes me miss the Shadow Clone Jutsu. Oh well, I'll do them after their priority. That being said, the most important thing first: let's get materials to bake a cake.'
[*Sigh* So many sentences with reasonable content, and all of that gets executed at the end.]
'Did you say something, Kurama?'
[Nah, just lamenting my fate.]
'F*ck fate!'
[Yeah, yeah, I know.]
As Yuna methodically moved through the city, buying everything she needed for further travel, she came by a stall that sold all kinds of random curiosities. Well, rather than curiosities, most of the things sold should probably rather called garbage, but Yuna noticed something that drew her curiosity.
'This sea conch is interesting~'
[It is?]
The merchant sitting at the stall immediately noticed Yuna approaching his stall, causing him to put on a kind smile while preparing to scam someone.
"Hey uncle, this conch looks really cool; I want to use it for decoration. How much is it?"
Hearing Yuna's words, the stall owner deflated. He had hoped that Yuna had read the words "Tone Dial" the conch was labeled with and got curious, but in the end, she was only interested because it looked good.
'Damn, if she isn't interested in the actual function of it, then I won't be able to inflate the price too much.'
"Hehe, you have a good eye, young lady. However, this isn't just some decorative object. This is a mythical object from the Grand Line that can record and play sounds."
The moment the shopkeeper said the function, Yuna seemed to deflate a little, which he obviously noticed.
"Okay... So it can play sounds... ehh, interesting?"
Seeing that Yuna was close to losing interest, the shopkeeper quickly continued his marketing pitch.
"Now, now, don't lose interest just yet. As I've said, this is from the Grand Line and is incredibly unique. This is probably the only Tone Dial in the East Blue! How about this? I will make that decision easier for you and sell it to you at a discount. I only want 100000 Beli for it."
"Okay."
"Huh?"
Before the merchant could react, the Tone Dial was no longer in his hand and was instead replaced with 10 10000 Beli banknotes. The only thing that remained of Yuna was a speck of her blue and red hair, vanishing in the distance.
Noticing how easily Yuna handed over the money, he could only curse again and again. It was clear that he could have asked for significantly more money, considering how easily Yuna accepted the price he was asking for.
'Damnit, I could have gotten much more! Oh well, I still made quite a good profit.'
Meanwhile, Yuna was walking away while inspecting the Tone Dial with interest. She didn't buy it for its function but for the technology it worked on. She simply got curious about how this thing worked. Frankly, she was pretty sure that she paid more than necessary, but she couldn't care less. If she was out of money, she could just go and "find" some more.
For now, she stowed away the Tone Dial for later use and continued traveling the city, quickly reaching her destination: The city's local Marine base.
'Well, time to join the Marines~'
[Sure. I bet you will do great with them.]
'Hehe, jokes aside, if I were to actually join, how long do you think it would take for me to be fired?'
[Five seconds.]
'That long?'
[I took into consideration how long it would take for your superior to digest whatever you would have said to them.]
'Oh? Okay, that makes sense.'
Anyway, around five minutes later...
'Spider Yuna, Spider Yuna, does whatever a Spider Yuna does~'
[Which mainly consists of degenerate stuff.]
...Yuna was currently crawling along the ceiling of a corridor within the Marine Base. She did so by freezing and unfreezing her fingertips to the ceiling.
She continued moving around, quickly penetrating deeper and deeper into the Marine base, and while she was doing so, some kind of commotion was started, making the Marine base much more chaotic.
"Quickly! Straw Hat Luffy has been seen climbing the scaffold in the center square!"
'Hehe, he sure is a troublemaker~ Now that he has a bounty, one might reasonably argue that he should stay low-key, but it seems like he had other thoughts. Well, it's not like I can talk, as I would probably do the same~'
As she continued crawling, she briefly paused as she suddenly felt a gaze on her, confusing her a little as she couldn't feel any human presence around her.
Looking toward the direction where she felt the gaze from, she tilted her head in confusion when she noticed who was watching her.
'A snail? What the hell?'
[I mean, I guess it must have crawled in here, right?]
'Yeah, but there is something off about this snail.'
"THERE SHE IS, ON THE CEILING!!! GET HER!!!"
"Huh?! I've been found!? How!?"
Yuna quickly detached herself from the ceiling and started running away from the mob of Marines chasing after her, and as she was running, she quickly noticed that there were snails spread all over the place, and the deeper she went into the Marine base, the more there were.
'THESE SNAILS ARE FOR MONITORING!!! DAMNIT, NAMI, TELL ME SOMETHING LIKE THIS!!!
Considering how the snails were placed and how they were spread all over the ceiling, Yuna didn't take long to understand what they were for. The sea conch that could play sounds already caught her off-guard, but now there were even snails that replaced cameras. What was going on in this place?
Moments later, she reached a highly guarded room filled to the brim with people, protecting a huge metal door while the mob of Marines was still chasing after Yuna. Obviously, she could just take them out but decided not to bother with them so far.
'Oh no, seems like I walked into a trap~'
[*Sigh* Why do you always need to do that?]
'Haven't I already said that before? If someone sets a trap for you, it's only common courtesy to walk straight in~'
[Yeah, you mentioned that before.]
"Stop right there! Who are you, and what are you doing here!"
While Yuna and Kurama were chatting, one of the Marines stepped forward and started questioning Yuna while all the others raised their guns and pointed them at her.
"Mah, don't mind me. I'm Yuna, and I'm just here to steal a bunch of stuff. You are dismissed and can return to your post~"
"LIKE HELL!!!!"
Chuckled in amusement due to the Marine's reaction, Yuna lowered her stance while putting her hands on her two swords.
"Guess it can't be helped. I'll need to get a little rough."
"STOP! If you draw those swords, we WILL shoot you! Surrender peacefully!"
Although she heard him speak, Yuna couldn't care less and drew her two blades, putting the Marine in front of her on guard instantly.
"You leave us no choice! FIRE!!!"
Dozens of guns fired simultaneously, raining bullets down on Yuna from all sides. However, Yuna only smiled leisurely as she readied her blade.
"[Two Sword Style: Strolling Through the Rain]"
[What's with the short name?]
'Well, I'm just swinging these two swords around a little; that's not worthy of a proper name~.'
Finished with her brief conversation with Kurama, Yuna started swinging her swords, splitting the first bullet that was about to hit her perfectly in half.
Having already scanned which bullets she had to cut and which wouldn't hit her, Yuna continued moving her hands, slicing through every bullet coming her way while ignoring those that didn't matter.
The bullet barrage ended quickly, as every Marine had only fired a single shot. Seeing Yuna completely unharmed after that bullet rain, the leading Marine couldn't help but gulp, realizing that he might have bitten off more than he could chew.
Seconds passed as an awkward silence reigned in the room that was only broken after the leading Marine realized the situation.
"Someone get Captain Smoker as fast as possible!"
"Ensign White, C-Captain Smoker isn't in the base right now! He is after Strawhat Luffy!"
"What!? Shit!"
While the Marines had an internal breakdown, Yuna started leisurely humming as she decided not to wait any longer.
"[Two Sword Style..."
Hearing Yuna was about to use another technique; Ensign White couldn't help but panic a little as he hastily gave out more commands.
"Another volley! SHOOT!!! And you, get Captain Smoker here!"
"... Divine Sex Arts Third Sword Form:..."
An insane grin split Yuna's face in half as she suddenly vanished from her position, easily evading all the bullets shot at her.
"Wha..."
"...Forced Instant Stiptease]"
*Cick*
Yuna reappeared behind the gathered Marines and resheathed her two swords with a satisfying click, and the moment she did so, the Marines exploded. No, their clothes exploded as they were all cut into tiny pieces, leaving all of them naked while simultaneously, their guns broke apart, and the giant metal door was cut open, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
While cries of shame rang through the room, and Yuna leisurely walked inside what she assumed to be the Marine Base's treasure vault, Ensign White was utterly dumbfounded.
'What the F*CK was that!?'
Frankly, he couldn't even comprehend what he had just witnessed. Obviously, blocking that bullet rain was already an incredible feat, but he couldn't even fathom what he was supposed to think about what he had just witnessed.
Additionally, what were they even supposed to do right now? Fight naked using their fists? No, that was obviously a bad idea. After all, Yuna had cut their weapons and clothes apart even while they were fully equipt. It was rather obvious that the only reason they weren't cut apart was due to Yuna not wanting to kill them. Thinking about all these things, he quickly made a decision.
"RETREAT!!! DON'T BLOCK HER PATH AND RETREAT!!! GET CAPTAIN SMOKER HERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!"
While the group of naked Marines was running away, Yuna had already found a decently sized bag and had put quite a bit of money inside it.
'Well, that should be enough for now. This base is protecting this town, so I don't want to push them into utter poverty, after all. So, let's look for books, charts, and other stuff about the Grand Line now~.'
Leaving the vault, Yuna leisurely walked through the Marine base, no longer needing to hide due to the Marines not wanting to get into a conflict with her. Neither of them knew how strong she actually was, but it was clear that a normal human could not hurt her easily, even if they had a gun. So, their only option was to wait for the arrival of Captain Smoler.
Unfortunately for them, Yuna quickly reached the room she assumed to be assigned to the highest ranked person in the base, and after searching through it, finding all kinds of interesting-looking books, she was about to leave but briefly paused due to her attention being attracted by a picture hanging on the wall.
'Well, it's the oldest trick in the book, but let's give it a look~.'
She approached the picture and took it off the wall, exposing a small metal door, causing her to chuckle in amusement.
'I knew it~.'
Smiling lightly, she swiftly cut through the iron, allowing her access to what was inside. However, seeing the content of the safe, she couldn't help but frown.
'What the hell is this?'
She removed a small box from the safe and opened it, revealing a weird device that looked like it could be strapped to someone's arm. It had a glass dome on it and inside said glass dome was a small needle that was currently pointing somewhere.
'I would guess that this is a compass, but what's with the weird design?'
Yuna pondered the situation a little longer before simply shrugging her shoulder. Since this weird device was within a safe, it probably is either worth a lot or quite important, so she might as well take it, right?
Tossing the device into the bag she was carrying, Yuna decided it was time to leave and opened the window before casually jumping out of it, landing safely on the ground.
'Well, those snails can, at the very least, be used as monitoring devices, but I can't be certain if they have a recording feature as well, so I guess I should leave this place for now. I'll probably get a bounty, but that was more or less inevitable in the first place. Mhh, should I travel with the Strawhats a while longer?'
[Oh? What makes you think they would be fine with that?]
'Well, Nami seems to more or less wear the pants on that ship, and she seems to be quite greedy, so I'll just give her some money, and everything should work out.'
[Bribery, huh? It's been a while.]
'I know, right? After reaching a certain level of power, coercion is usually enough to get by, so it can't be helped that using bribery to get what I want gets rarer and rarer.'
While walking away from the Marine Base, Yuna noticed that a few Marines were trying to follow her, probably to report her position to that Captain Smoker guy Yuna had heard about, but Yuna wasn't too interested in meeting him, so after taking a turn around the corner, she easily managed to slip away from the Marine's surveillance.
'Pah, amateurs.'
Obviously, compared to the Shinobi in her second life, a bunch of Marines that weren't trained in tracking people had no chance of actually following her, so she slipper away easily.
'Well, I guess I'll take a look at how Luffy is doing, and then I'll be on my way."
Minutes later, Yuna arrived at the place where Roger was executed a long time ago, and seeing the chaos that was going on there, she couldn't help but smile wryly.
First of all, Luffy somehow managed to get himself trapped inside the pillory on the scaffold in the center of the large open place.
Next, Zoro and Sanji were currently fighting a huge horde of pirates, who mostly had some kind of makeup decorating their faces.
Additionally, Yuna could feel a bunch of Marines hiding all over the place, ready to capture everyone present as soon as the opportunity came.
Finally, there was a guy dressed like a clown next to Luffy, who clearly intended to execute Luffy.
Frankly, Yuna's next action was obvious.
"Hello, beautiful lady. I would like to invite you to dinner."
Slipping through the crowded pirates, Yuna easily approached a beautiful-looking woman with long black hair carrying and huge iron mace and affectionally took her hand.
"Eh? I... can't slip out of your grasp."
"Hehe, of course not. If I see a beautiful woman, I simply can't let them go~"
Alvida, the woman whose hand Yuna was currently holding, couldn't help but be dumbfounded as she had eaten the Smooth-Smooth Fruit, allowing her skin to be so smooth that everything just slipped off it. However, for some reason, Yuna's hands weren't slipping off of her at all, firmly holding her own hands.
'What is even going on?'
Unfortunately, Yuna didn't have any more time to flirt, as she noticed that the weird-looking clown was about to cut off Luffy's head, so she was about to throw her sword at him to block the attack when her gaze shifted toward the sky.
'Something is coming. There is intent hidden in the weather. I don't understand exactly what's going on, but someone wants to save Luffy using the weather.'
Frankly, it was a rather weird feeling, but Yuna was certain that something was about to happen. She was only in this world for a few hours, but if she had to make a guess, she could only guess that some kind of Devil Fruit was involved.
The clown's blade descended, and while that happened, a wide smile appeared on Luffy's face, shocking even Yuna.
"Sorry guys, I'm dead~"
*Boom*
The moment those words left his mouth, lighting hit the blade that was about to cut off his head, saving his life.
However, Yuna couldn't give a shit about that, as she was still focused on the supposedly last moment of Luffy's life.
'He didn't know that he would be saved by lightning. He genuinely thought that his life was about to end, and the only thing he did was smile.'
The atmosphere around Yuna changed as her face twisted into a frankly disgusting smile, causing Alvida to instinctively take a step away from Yuna.
"Interesting~"
