Harvey
The Golden Ship process will take at least three days, so Roy will need to stay on the island for a while longer.
In fact, given his status Shichibukai, he should theoretically be able to pass through the Holy Land Mary Geoise. However, his relationship with the World Government isn't very good, and Roy wouldn't do something as foolish as sending himself into the enemy's lair.
Riding the Ark [Ark Maxim] over Mary Geoise was too arrogant; who knows if those old cunning bastards of the Five Elders would try to sabotage it?
In general, it's best to go through Fish-Man Island, which is 10,000 meters underwater. Besides, if you come to the Pirate World, it would be a bit of a waste not to experience the charm of Fish-Man Island.
In the dilapidated building, the once alluring and seductive Natasha was now wrapped in a headscarf and dressed in coarse linen. In front of her was a nearly broken, unconscious man, who was tightly gripping the hilt of a sword whose blade had disappeared.
"Damn it, why do I have to suffer like this? No pretty clothes, no delicious food, and I have to hide in this disgusting corner, hiding from those scumbags who are chasing me." Natasha muttered with endless resentment.
If she weren't Mind's Eye worsening the guy's injuries, as a Supernovas, she would never have suffered such humiliation. Being chased by a group of guys whose strength was far inferior to hers was simply a disgrace to the pirates!
She didn't dare to just leave. Although she was Zoan Devil Fruit user, due to the characteristics of the Cat-Cat Fruit, she was extremely sensitive to changes in aura and the perception of danger.
The battle between Roy and Harvey lasted only a moment, but the terrifying aura that erupted in that instant completely frightened her, as if death had brushed past her. For the first time, she was troubled by her overly sensitive perception.
Perhaps others were simply awestruck by Roy's single blow that defeated Harvey, but to Natasha, it was Roy's overwhelming aura that was the source of her fear.
This is why she was so helpless when facing Roy. Because of this, even if it was just a casual remark from Roy, she dared not take it lightly and had no choice but to take care of this idiot without complaint.
Creak!
That's the sound of stepping on a wooden plank!
Although the other party was very careful and tried their best to conceal their whereabouts, it was all in vain against Natasha's keen hearing.
"Damn it, they caught up so quickly. Looks like we'll have to move to a different location again," Natasha sighed.
"No need to run away!" Harvey had woken up somehow and looked at Natasha with a determined gaze.
"Are you sure? Although those hyenas aren't very strong, there are a lot of them. I can't spare any time to save you right now."
"What a joke, I'm not so low as to need someone as weak as you to save me."
Natasha's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and just as she was about to retaliate, she heard Harvey say something.
"But this time, I really thank you. I can grant you a request, even if it means giving up my life."
"Idiot, who wants your life?" Natasha muttered under her breath, but she was quite pleased with herself. The promises of swordsmen like Harvey, who were powerful and adhered to ancient teachings, were extremely valuable.
"Since that's the case, then I won't hide it anymore. I'm getting really angry from being chased by these hyenas, and I've been wanting to fight back for a while now." Natasha licked her dry lips, exuding allure. Unfortunately, the sword fanatic in front of her was oblivious to this beautiful sight.
"Boss, do we really have to keep chasing them? Our opponents are two Supernovas!" a new recruit asked tremblingly.
"Keep your voice down!" The leader, carrying a sniper rifle, first scolded in dissatisfaction, then said with a gloomy face, "Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. If Storm Sword Master recovers, then he'll truly be doomed. Remember, pirates are the most vengeful scum in the world."
He was actually quite frustrated. He thought it was a freebie, but that bitch Natasha interfered, leaving them in a dilemma.
"Damn it, weren't they fighting fiercely just now? Do these pirates all like to play the 'mutual respect' card?" the leader cursed under his breath.
"Do you think I wanted to? If I had no choice, who would save that idiot!" A rather frustrated voice rang in his ears, making him subconsciously want to nod in agreement.
But he quickly regained his senses, drenched in sweat, and exclaimed in alarm, "Watch out, the enemy is already..."
"Silent Assassination Technique!"
"You clearly made a sound, you're not truly... happy!" The leader clutched his bleeding throat and let out his final cry.
A Supernovas is free from all burdens and completely unrestrained is not something these bounty hunters can handle. In just a moment, Natasha had already eliminated most of the pursuers.
The situation on Harvey's side was even more dire. Although he was seriously injured, as long as he had the strength to wield his sword, he was a terrifying killing machine. By the time Natasha arrived, the ground was littered with corpses, and there wasn't a single piece of intact flesh on the ground, which made Natasha feel nauseous.
Of course, Harvey wasn't much better off. The forceful attack caused his newly scabbed wounds to reopen, making him look like he had crawled out of a sea of blood, a sight that was chilling to behold.
"You madman! Is this what you meant by having the ability to fight?" Natasha couldn't help but gasp.
"Heh." Harvey's dismissive look infuriated Natasha.
Natasha forcibly suppressed her anger and said succinctly, "It was Roy who asked me to save you. He also asked me to tell you whether you would like to go on his ship."
After listening, Harvey remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "Okay, take me to join him."
"Damn it, go by yourself if you want to. Do you really think I'm your subordinate?" Natasha said angrily.
"It will take me at least another half month to recover from my injuries. Do you really want to keep carrying this burden with you? The sooner you take me there, the sooner you can escape this misery."
Natasha's face showed a hint of interest, and after a moment's thought, she said through gritted teeth, "Fine, I'll consider it as me owing you."
After resting for a while, Natasha couldn't help but ask again, "Someone like you is actually willing to be subservient to others, and don't forget who caused your current miserable state."
"I have a reason to become stronger." Harvey pondered for a moment, then said with a tone full of longing, "Only by fighting against the strong can one learn and grow. If I were to join the ranks of this Calamity Bringer Great Sword Master Roy, I would surely become even stronger."
