A small boat stopped at the port.
The leaders were three people who looked very much alike, and they were the three chiefs of this Slaver Group.
Ata's gaze became incomparably solemn, and at the same time she reminded, "Captain, these are three of the ten executives of the Sea Hunter Group."
"They are a trio of siblings. In the middle is the eldest sister Yaxi, user of the Paramecia-class Chill-Chill Fruit; on the left is the second brother Ya'er, user of the Zoan-class Snow-Leopard Fruit; on the right is the third brother Yajie, who is a swordmaster with strength no less than mine before."
Moke's eyes narrowed slightly. He had to admit that they truly lived up to being the largest Slaver Group that specialized in hunting for nobles and Celestial Dragons.
That's right, the ones eyeing this place were none other than the Sea Hunter Group, one of the three largest Slaver Groups in the One Piece world.
These guys hunted literally anything.
Pretty men, pretty women, rare races, even pirate captains... As long as they set their sights on someone, there was no one they couldn't capture and nothing they couldn't buy.
And as one of the three largest Slaver Groups in the pirate world, the strength of this Sea Hunter Group was truly no exaggeration.
Just taking the third brother Yajie, whose strength was comparable to Ata's previous level, it showed that his strength was also at the level of over 100 million berries.
Then looking at the eldest sister Yaxi and the second brother Ya'er, one a Paramecia-class Chill-Chill Fruit user and the other a Zoan-class Snow-Leopard Fruit user, their strength was similarly extraordinary...
With this kind of strength, they even surpassed most pirate crews among the Eleven Supernovas of the future. And this was merely three of the ten executives of the Sea Hunter Group.
One could imagine the overall strength of this Sea Hunter Group.
It also indirectly reflected the strength of the entire slaving industry.
"Swish..."
Yaxi, Ya'er, and Yajie leaped down from the pirate ship, landing in front of Moke and Ata.
The gazes of the three first landed uniformly on Ata.
There was no help for it; Ata naturally had the face and the figure. She could be described as curvaceous, sexy, and enchanting, yet she carried a hint of a swordmaster's might.
It gave her an aura of heroic vigor.
Two contradictory temperaments were completely combined in her single person. She definitely deserved to be called a beauty with a unique style... And now she had also eaten the Paramecia-class Slip-Slip Fruit.
Her beauty had enhanced significantly, reaching a new height. In the entire pirate world, only the Empress Boa Hancock could compare with her.
Facing such beauty, even the three siblings Yaxi, Ya'er, and Yajie, who had hunted many beauties, could not help but stare in a daze.
Immediately, the eyes of all three lit up in unison.
Yaxi was even overjoyed, praising with a beaming face: "I never expected that on this Chef Island, there would actually be such top-tier merchandise."
Saying this, she turned her head to look at the third brother Yajie: "Third brother, this time we can finally trade for a Devil Fruit for you. When that time comes, your strength will definitely be the strongest among us siblings."
Ya'er could not help but burst into loud laughter: "Hahaha..."
Among the three of them, the third brother Yajie naturally had the best talent. It was precisely because of Yajie that she and the eldest sister had hunted slaves that satisfied the Celestial Dragons, thereby exchanging them for Devil Fruits.
This allowed them to also become powerhouses in their own right.
Now... it should be their third brother's turn. When the time came, the third brother's strength would surge greatly. Perhaps he would become the fourth major Slaver Group...
At this moment, the light of ambition flashed within his eyes.
Among the three, only the third brother Yajie remained calm. Because Ata gave him a familiar feeling, his gaze immediately dropped to Ata's waist, and his pupils shrank as a result.
This was because he recognized one of the two swords at Ata's waist.
He suddenly looked up with a hint of shock: "You're Two-Sword Ata!"
After saying that, he added another sentence: "No wonder you gave me a familiar feeling. So it was you..."
"What?" Yaxi and Ya'er could not help crying out in alarm.
Immediately their expressions changed drastically, and their whole demeanor became alert. They were people who had seen the world; for a person to undergo such a massive change,
it was most likely due to eating a Devil Fruit.
And this Two-Sword Ata's own strength was no less than their third brother's. Now that she had eaten a Devil Fruit, her strength must have increased greatly.
How could they not be wary?
Fortunately, the three of them shared a tacit understanding that others found difficult to reach. Therefore, even though Ata's strength had greatly increased, they were not intimidated.
"Hey, hey, hey... You three fellows, can't you tear your eyes away the moment you see a beauty? Treating me, this living person, like air!" Moke stood off to the side, somewhat speechless.
He was now a Shichibukai, after all. Was it really okay to ignore him like this?
"Hm?"
Only then did the three turn their heads to look over. The moment they saw Moke, they first wore a look of mild puzzlement.
Then their expressions changed drastically, and their pupils actually shook in a quake. The eldest sister Yaxi even cried out in alarm: "The new Shichibukai, Moke!"
Moke couldn't be bothered to waste words with them either. He pointed at Yajie and turned to say to Ata: "He's the one who injured you back then, right! Then you can take this revenge with your own hands... As for the other two, leave them to me."
"Captain... Thank you!" Moke's words went straight to her heart.
Yaxi, Ya'er, and Yajie exchanged glances, and then launched an attack simultaneously with extreme tacit understanding.
The longsword in Yajie's hand flashed out of its scabbard instantly, his legs exerted force, and in the blink of an eye he rushed in front of Bishkekta.
"Ice Seal..."
Yaxi stomped her foot, the ground directly freezing over and rapidly advancing toward Ata. Wherever it passed, the ground was completely sealed in ice.
The Zoan-class Snow-Leopard Fruit user, Ya'er, instantly entered her hybrid beast form.
"Shave..."
The next instant, she vanished right where she stood.
When she appeared once more, she was already behind Moke: "Finger Pistol."
Her index finger, like a gun barrel, stabbed directly at the back of Moke's head.
One had to admit that the coordination of these three was truly full of tacit understanding. The toughest Zoan user, Ya'er, was there to stall him...
The remaining two—one launching a fierce attack, the other providing crowd control—were simply perfect!
If this were anyone else, they really would have succeeded. Moke's Sandai Kitetsu flashed out of its scabbard instantly, and with a fierce sweep, a slash flew directly toward Yaxi.
Where the slash passed, the ground was directly split open, threatening to cleave the earth itself in two.
Faced with such a terrifying slash, Yaxi's expression changed drastically. She had no choice but to halt her attack on Ata. That freezing power stopped abruptly three or four meters in front of Ata.
At the same time, the Sandai Kitetsu swung by Moke was not retracted. Instead, following the momentum of that sweep, it slashed backward.
The target was precisely Ya'er's stabbing finger.
"Bastard..."
Ya'er cursed in a low voice, then forcefully halted her attack, narrowly dodging Moke's sword.
"Hehe..."
At this moment, the only one Ata had to face was Yajie. She could not help sneering coldly as her greatsword flashed out of its scabbard, blocking Yajie's attack in a single stroke. Kashu then swept a cold light through the air, heading straight for Yajie's neck.
Yajie's pupils constricted.
Ata's sword strike was extremely fast, with a bizarre angle, making it extremely difficult to dodge.
He was secretly startled in his heart: This fellow's swordsmanship has improved again!
