Chapter-16

In Alabasta…

At Unknown place…

*knock* *knock*

“Come in,” the man said in a very deep yet relaxed voice then the door opened and a beautiful black-haired woman wearing a cowboy outfit came inside

she wearing a revealing cowgirl outfit consisting of a purple cleavage-exposing corset and matching miniskirt, both with white ornaments hanging from them, and a white fur-lined coat paired with a white cowboy hat and white high-heeled boots

“I heard you call me,” Woman said as she soon saw the man sitting on a comfortable chair while smoking a thick cigar

He is a tall man with a wide chest, broad shoulders, muscular arms and legs, and a thick neck. He has somewhat grey skin and nape-length black hair, which is kept neatly slicked back

The most notable thing is a long-stitched scar at the bridge of his nose that stretches across his face and a large hook made from a tough gold alloy in place of his left hand

His eyes are deep-set and heavy-lidded, and his thin eyebrows are characteristically drawn upward in the middle, this gives his usual facial expression a feeling of condescension and distrust

His way of dressing gives an image of an Italian mafia boss. He wearing a bright orange, black-striped button-up vest over a long-sleeve peach shirt along with a blue scarf, dark brown suit pants, and polished black shoes with gold buckles. He also has a long, thick, dark-pelted fur coat over his shoulders.

“Miss All-sunday, did you find anything in those documents?” the man asked this as he looked at the woman even though he didn’t trust her but he had no choice

“I need more time” the woman replied to the man as she stood in front of him, even though she really didn’t want to do the thing which he asked but she had no choice

The man couldn’t help but stare at the woman with disappointment, and then opened his mouth as he spoke “Tell me about all the information you found”

Woman inwardly releases a tired sigh since she knows the obsession he has with ‘that’ thing and also knows he will do anything to get his hands on that ‘thing’

But she couldn’t do anything other than obey otherwise her life would end if she didn’t obey as she started to tell him about everything she found

After a few minutes…

“Go back and search for more records,” the man said after listening to everything that woman said

The woman sighs of relief since she herself doesn’t want to involve herself with him but before going out her eyes fall on the board where there are some bounty posters

In those bounty posters, there was also hers but the image in that poster is of her when she was a child and her reward is not low either

She couldn’t help but click her tongue every time she saw her bounty poster due to personal reasons

But what caught her attention was the next poster which was beside her poster since that bounty of yoriichi as well as that poster, stated that the boy nearly killed celestial dragons and his guards as he also stole the most priceless treasure of that celestial dragon and that’s also the reason for such huge bounty on the yoriichi head

The woman believes that the world government also framed this small boy in that poster as they did to her but for some reason, it seems her boss is very interested in that boy

She guessed that her boss just wanted to give that boy to the world government which not only give him wealth but then he also might able to get favour from the World Government

Even though no one in the world able to find a trace of yoriichi for more than a decade but it seems her boss still believes that the boy is alive and waiting for any news about him appearing in the sea

And the woman really believes that if that boy really appears in the sea then her boss will able to recognize that boy very easily due to the huge mark on the boy’s face

With those thoughts, she got out of the office and started her own work and then decided to go out for a walk

Right at this moment snail phone started to ring on the man’s table as he picked it up, he was stunned by the information he received as he stood up in excitement

…

Back to yoriichi…

After 2 days, he finally reaches his destination ‘Alabasta’ but he needs to pass a wild freaking desert in order to reach the main city where he gets the supplies

For normal people, it might be an extremely difficult task to pass this desert without any proper sense of direction

But for yoriichi it’s a piece of cake because he got his own personal guide which is ’ember’, she can tell yoriichi where to go from the sky or yoriichi can also ask directions from other creatures

“Phe~!” Ember loudly chirps as she tries to tell Yoriichi that she understands her job and starts to tell yoriichi direction which leads to the main city

Yoriichi started to run in that direction even though what is he doing was extremely dangerous for people since this was desert and running in the desert would only lead to danger but it was not much issue for yoriichi

Due to his insane stamina, he can run for 5 days without getting tired while he can also use his observation haki to detect any danger on his way

His observation haki is not ordinary by any means because his observation haki is powerful enough to let yoriichi see a few seconds in future even though it might not be much but for yoriichi who got some inhumane reflexes gets a huge advantage from those seconds

if he counters any beast on his way then he uses his conqueror haki to avoid them which is very effective considering the unique properties of yoriichi conqueror haki

He couldn’t help but wonder while running how much time it would take him to reach the main city
