However, Kuina's killing spree was not over yet...
When the first pirate, covered in blood, stumbled and crawled out of the tavern, roaring:
"The Arlong Pirates' madman has killed someone!"
The town, which had been sleeping in sin, was completely awakened.
"What? Someone dares to cause trouble in Sin Town?! Let's go check it out!"
At first, only a few thugs rushed in with knives and swords, wanting to teach the arrogant intruders a lesson.
As a result, Kuina went on a killing spree!
In just a few moments, the long street was littered with corpses.
As more people flooded the streets, it wasn't just pirates, but also local thugs, slave traders' private soldiers, and even some members of underground forces who had been alerted.
When they saw the black-haired girl standing with a sword in hand and a cold gaze, their contempt turned into surprise and doubt, and surprise and doubt turned into fear.
"She...she's still a minor, right? Who let her out?!"
"Nonsense, didn't you see? She's a female swordsman. Swordsmen aren't limited by age!"
"Shut up! Instead of wasting time, hurry up and get going, she's about to charge!"
"Quick, quick...stop her! She's gone mad!"
Guina moved.
Instead of waiting for the other party to attack, she took the initiative and rushed into the crowd!
The sword flashed again, and wherever it passed, true carnage ensued. Her sword was so fast that it left only afterimages, precisely slicing through the vital points of each enemy.
Throat, heart, brow... wherever the sword strikes, life falls like harvested straw.
Blood began to truly splatter, staining the ground, splashing onto the walls, and even turning the street signs a dark red. Screams rose and fell, but often stopped abruptly halfway through.
"Die! You wretched brat!"
A pirate captain with a bounty of eight million Berries roared and swung his giant axe at him, but Kuina deftly dodged it to the side, and the tip of her sword touched his temple.
A malevolent aura began to gather around her.
Nami, who was standing some distance away, subconsciously took a half step back, but Robin gently pressed her shoulder down.
"Trust her." Robin's voice remained calm, but his deep eyes were constantly watching Kuina's movements.
"Sister Robin, it seems our plan will only be half completed!"
"Yes, I have the same feeling. There's a high probability... Kuina will single-handedly carve out her way through the entire town!"
The battle spread from the tavern entrance to the entire long street, and then from the long street to the nearby square and alleys.
Kuina, alone with a sword, fought and retreated, leaving only cold, lifeless corpses in her wake.
When "Bloody Hand" Caron finally arrived, surrounded by a group of elite officers, he was met with a scene that resembled hell.
His town, his lair that he had built up over many years, was now littered with corpses and rivers of blood.
"Stop! Who are you?!"
Kalon shouted sternly, and his officers, as if facing a formidable enemy, gripped their weapons tightly.
Guina didn't answer. Blood was still dripping from the tip of her sword, her cold gaze fixed on Karon. To her, this man before her was no different from those who had just fallen.
They are all enemies that need to be defeated.
She raised her sword again.
The battle broke out once again.
Caron and his subordinates were indeed much stronger than the previous fodder, but they were still no match for Kuina, who was already bloodthirsty and filled with murderous intent.
The sword light tore through the air, and the cadres fell one after another; their lives were as fragile as paper.
More people were drawn into the massacre. Fear began to replace the initial anger and greed.
They discovered that numbers were meaningless in the face of this girl. She was like a tireless grim reaper.
"Wait, let's talk this out! Whatever you want, I'll give you! Wealth, status, fame, men... I'll give you everything, please spare my life!"
Caron himself persisted the longest, and his title of "Bloody Hands" was well-deserved; his iron hands were enough to split rocks and shatter monuments.
Finally, a stunning sword light flashed, and Caron, clutching his bleeding throat, collapsed in disbelief.
"You...you...say something...I'll think of a way for you..."
The entire town of sin fell completely silent.
Kuina stood alone amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, slowly sheathing her sword.
The kill of ten thousand men is complete.
She stood there, like a demon who had just returned from hell.
Nami watched her retreating figure, opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Robin covered her face in exasperation: "A perfectly good plan running into a hot-blooded girl is just too cruel!"
Three days later, the azure sea.
The newsbird fluttered its wings and landed on the ship's side. Nami, as usual, bought a newspaper.
"Let me see what's new lately..."
Her words stopped abruptly.
The huge photo on the front page made her pupils shrink—it was Kuina standing with her sword in hand, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood behind her!
Shocking title:
[A shocking upheaval in the East China Sea! The town of sin is massacred, and the "Shura Girl" single-handedly slaughters the entire city!]
The content of the report was even more horrifying:
"...It is reported that the girl is suspected to be a member of the Arlong Pirates, who, single-handedly with a sword, slaughtered all resistance forces in the town of Sin within three hours. Seventeen wanted criminals, including 'Bloody Hand' Charon, have been confirmed dead, bringing the total number of casualties to over ten thousand—a true massacre of ten thousand..."
The Navy has issued an urgent arrest warrant with a bounty of 3000 million Berries!
Nami's voice trembled: "Kuina, look... you're in the newspaper!"
The deck was deathly silent.
Upon hearing this, Guina approached, looked at her photo in the newspaper, and frowned slightly: "The photo isn't clear enough."
Robin sighed softly, "Now you're completely famous. But... why was a bounty put on your head?"
Nami jumped up suddenly: "Quick! Change course! We must leave the East Blue immediately!"
She frantically searched for the nautical chart: "The Grand Line! Yes, we're going to the Grand Line! There are many wanted criminals there, so we're less likely to be noticed!"
Kuina pressed her hand down: "Wait, how old are you to want to go to the Grand Line? The danger has been eliminated, it's time to go back to Cocoyasi Village."
Chapter 84 Famous in the East China Sea, Sabo's Decision
Shuangyue Village, Yixin Dojo.
The sounds of sword practice abruptly ceased in the early morning.
"Master! Master!" A disciple stumbled into the dojo, holding a newspaper. "Senior Sister Kuina...she's in the newspaper!"
Koushirou paused slightly as he took the newspaper. When he saw the front page, his eyes behind his glasses narrowed sharply.
[Shocking Changes in the East Blue! "Shura Girl" Smashes an Entire City Single-Handedly! Bounty of 3000 Million Berries!]
In the photo, Kuina stands amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, sword in hand, her eyes as cold as frost.
"This...this really is Senior Sister Kuina?"
"A kill that slayed ten thousand men...she really did it..."
"Three thousand... thirty million Berries?! The highest bounty in the East Blue!"
The disciples discussed among themselves, both shocked and somewhat admiring.
Only one boy with green hair couldn't understand their discussion. Upon asking, he learned she was the dojo's only senior disciple, undefeated to this day. He memorized her name!
Koushirou remained silent for a long time before finally gently putting down the newspaper.
"Keep practicing." His voice remained gentle, yet carried an undeniable authority.
After his disciples had left, he stood alone in the courtyard, gazing at the distant sea.
"Guina..." he murmured to himself, "Is this the path you've chosen?"
Meanwhile, the entire East China Sea was in an uproar because of this arrest warrant.
In the taverns of Rogge, people eagerly passed around the newspaper.
Three thousand... thirty million?! Are you kidding me?!
"That 'Bloody Hand' Caron was a ruthless character with a bounty of twelve million, yet he was killed in one strike!"
"The East China Sea is about to change..."
At the Baratie floating restaurant, the chefs gathered around Zhefu, discussing animatedly.
Are all young people these days so terrifying?
"Right? How old is this girl in the newspaper? Slaughtering an entire city by herself? Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"
"A bounty has been issued; this news can't be fake. 3000 million Berries—I wouldn't even be worth that much if I sold myself!"
"Haha, you little greyhound (??o?o??) might actually be worth 50 Berries!"
"What 50 Pele? Who are you implying something about?"
Unlike the other chefs who were joking around.
Zeff stared thoughtfully at Kuina's image in the newspaper: "Has that girl grown up to this extent?"
Sanji rushed to his side immediately: "Old man, did you see today's newspaper? Kuina is amazing! She single-handedly slaughtered an entire city. I wonder when we'll see each other again?!"
Even Bellemere, who was far away in the village of Cocoyasi, received the news.
"These kids..." she looked at the newspaper, both worried and proud, "They're really...reckless. I wonder if he can bring Nami back!"
