Chapter-20

—---------------

He followed the creatures under the water, as they led him more deeper in the water until they finally stopped at the big drainage hole in the wall but it was sealed by a metallic gate

Unfortunately, Yoriichi can't use his breathing techniques underwater which means Yoriichi can't use his full strength here

Even though Yoriichi's body naturally is a lot stronger than a normal human body but still he is not sure whether he can break this metallic gate or not

*THUD!* *THUD!* *THUD!* *THUD!*

While he was in his thoughts, creatures who were helping him started to swim at very high speed as they hit the gate with their head like cannon balls one by one 

As they are trying to force open the Metallic gate for him, seeing this he couldn't help but say 'thank you' in his mind

And also decided to join them as he copied what they were doing and hit too with his all might

After a while, finally, cracks started to appear due to constant hitting, as the rest work was done by water pressure

*BLAST!*

That big strong metallic gate got destroyed into pieces by the water pressure as the Yoriichi and the other creatures got sucked into that underwater tunnel because of the strong water pressure 

... 

Outside of the building… 

After 10 minutes… 

Fortunately, because of the water current which merged with outside water bodies, Yoriichi managed to find the way out of the water as he made his exit from the moat surrounding the pyramid

*Breathing*

Yoriichi quickly came to the surface as he finally breathed again, while he swam towards the boundary and finally climbed back to land

After saying farewell to the creatures who make his escape successful, and then moves towards dessert because he quickly concludes that this town is not safe

If they are able to identify him from that town and lure him into their base then hitting these cities is not safe at all

So he decided to go into the desert because that might be his best chance to hide from them, even though he had no idea who they are

But he knows they probably want to catch him for the bounty on his head since Rayleigh taught him about how this world works

Even Rayleigh even told Yoriichi that no matter how much time passes, as long he has a bounty on his head and he is alive, someone will naturally come for his head 

"Phe~!" Ember from the sky spotted Yoriichi as she excitedly came down towards him, and sat on his shoulder while she started to rub her head against him

Not just Ember but also Yoriichi become relief seeing in perfect condition, it seems she also able to escape without any problem

Now a new problem arises for Yoriichi which is the day about to end and even though Yoriichi is superhuman but still even he can't travel in his current condition

During the day desert becomes super hot but at night desert becomes very cold and not to mention right now Yoriichi clothes are totally wet, so needs to rest to dry himself before moving again

But while he was moving out of that town he failed to notice among the many people there was someone who was spying on him

"I found him," the Woman said as she spoke in some snail device to her boss while he also started to go after Yoriichi but she tried her best to hide herself

... 

Yoriichi after going to out of the city, where no one was present Yoriichi immediately able to notice that someone was constantly following him

Previously in the town he was surrounded by people and not only that but also the person who was following him did not release any negative intention towards him that's the reason Yoriichi failed to notice that someone was on his trail 

But that's not the case now since right now he is in the middle of the desert and no one should be here at this time, so he is immediately able to notice through his observation haki that someone has been consistently following him for some time

Yoriichi immediately stopped as he turned around and then opened his mouth as he spoke "Come out"

After a few moments of silence, Yoriichi decided to take matters into his own hands and put his hand on the sword handle as he prepared to cut the big rock where the person hiding behind

"Ara~ I got caught?" the woman speaks in a somewhat seductive tone as she stops hiding behind the Boulder and finally comes out 

Even though she might sound calm as well as relaxed but inside she is extremely nervous because she feels that if she doesn't come out then Yoriichi probably would cut her like he cut through that cage

Yoriichi saw her and immediately recognized her since even though he was not focused but still he saw the faces of people who were there when he was trapped in that cage

Yoriichi kept staring at her girl without moving because he couldn't help but become more and more confused since even after getting caught Yoriichi couldn't able to felt any malice from her which meant she didn't want to hurt him

"I just want to talk," the Girl said as she slowly started to move towards him because she noticed hesitation in Yoriichi

She then realises that as long she doesn't try to hurt him then he won't try to hurt her either, and this she noticed from the start 

Even after entering that building, Yoriichi didn't attack anyone until everyone else started to attack him

Yoriichi still is on his guard because he has already been scammed one time, so he doesn't want to take any more risks again

"it will be better for both of us after all we both may be in similar situations," Woman said as soon she noticed that Yoriichi was still worried about her then decided to pull her last move 

She put both of her hands behind her, took out 2 bounty posters and showed both of them to him

One bounty poster is of him with 1.1 billion berries as a reward while the other one is of a small girl named 'Nico Robin' with a reward of 79 million Berries
