Chapter-18

——————–

“Phe!” Ember even though wanted to help her master but since she knew she would be a hindrance, so she obeys what Yoriichi said as she flew away at some height

“You are dead!!!” when people were able to hit him with their weapons, they started to become unconscious as their bodies started to fall on the ground

*Thud!* *Thud!* *Thud!* *Thud!*

Yoriichi used his conqueror haki in the result One by one everyone in that building started to faint even outside guards were not exceptional

Yoriichi couldn’t help but be a little surprised because mainly due to he didn’t expect these people to be this weak

And it’s not his fault for having this mentality because until now the only human he fought was Rayleigh and to him, Rayleigh was a lot Stronger

After seeing everyone on the ground, Yoriichi decided to get out of this building but unfortunately, the gate was now totally closed, so he needed to find another way

“Phe~!” Ember from above-signalled yoriichi as she found a way outside while yoriichi started to follow her

He kept running through the floor as couldn’t help but think how big this building was because he was continuously running for a few minutes but he still didn’t see the end

As he was moving from one hallway to another hallway, he suddenly sensed danger as he quickly jumped upwards while he unsheathed his sword

*stab*

He stuck his sword into the wall and hung on it while the entire hallway floor disappeared, fortunately, yoriichi got saved by his observation haki as he reflexively managed to save himself from falling into the deep pit hole

This is not the end because soon suddenly walls appear at both ends of the hallway in which yoriichi is hanging resulting in trapping Yoriichi and Ember both in this hallway

As an unknown gas started to come from those walls, Yoriichi already started to hold his breath since he immediately knew that it was better to not inhale this gas otherwise the situation might become bad for him

Unfortunately for Yoriichi, even though he was safe but it can’t same said for Ember because she started to lose her conscious as she started fell… straight into the pit

Yoriichi saw this, and he quickly got upside down holding his sword handle and then used the wall as a foothold

Then leaps forward with his all-might result he quickly gets near falling Ember as he grabs her into his arms carefully in midair

*Sigh*

He released a sigh of relief even though now both of them falling into the deep pit but Yoriichi was glad that he was able to safely catch his partner

After a few moments, he finally saw the pit end and it was not pleasant at all because it was a big cage in the middle of the water while there were some dangerous creatures like huge crocodiles in the water

Yoriichi landed perfectly on his feet while enduring all the impact of the fall creating cracks on the cage surface itself as the whole cage shook violently even though that cage is made of some serious strong material

As the cage itself gets closed from above but Yoriichi doesn’t care about that since he immediately checks on Ember whether she is ok or not

Fortunately, it seems Ember is just sleeping now and nothing bad happened to her due to that gas which relieves Yoriichi worries

Suddenly the only big metallic gate was opened in that big chamber as the man with the hook and cigar appeared carrying a Yoriichi bounty poster with the black-haired woman

“Brat you really deserve that huge bounty on your head,” the man said as he checked the poster and then the real thing to identify if he caught the correct one

Even though Yoriichi grew up alot but due to big birthmark on his face makes it easier for anyone to identify him

Meanwhile, the woman who was standing beside the man really wanted to help yoriichi but unfortunately, she can’t because she can’t hope to go against her boss

“throw your sword to me, brat!” the man said this as he looked at yoriichi and demanded this since he couldn’t go himself to take the sword himself

The reason is simply that the man never expected Yoriichi to know about haki and so he only relied on his logia-type devil fruit to torment others and make them believe that he was untouchable

Yoriichi is an extremely bad match-up against him in the fight, and not only that but he also saw from his own eyes through cameras what yoriichi did to his subordinates

So he knows yoriichi also possess a conqueror haki which is extremely rare and thats reason he is taking no chances with Yoriichi

He is also self-aware of the fact that the only reason he was able to capture yoriichi due to that bird otherwise he might to gone through much more trouble to successfully capture Yoriichi

Hearing this, Yoriichi didn’t bother to respond as he stared at them or to be precise he didn’t even give his attention to them and just stared at the cage bars

Trying to figure out how much needed to put his effort in order to successfully cut the cage to get free

Black lines appear on the man’s head realising that Yoriichi is totally ignoring him which makes him totally irritated

He couldn’t help but feel that at this moment the devil fruit user beside him would be very useful for this task but unfortunately, the cage where he trapped Yoriichi was entirely made of sea stone which neutralized any devil fruit ability and it was not cheap for him to afford that cage

He quickly took out a small remote from his pocket and pressed the button as the whole cage started to come down near the water filled with dangerous-looking creatures
