The most courageous pirate hunter

Chapter 9 [Not even a female toad seen, a mere animal-type lapdog]

"Kill him for me."

The pungent smell of blood filled the air. Tra, clutching his bleeding neck and kidneys, stared with bloodshot eyes at the restaurant as crowds poured out of the building, the lingering fear still gripping him.

Almost.

He almost went to meet God in the Western Paradise.

"Boss, let me bandage you up first."

"I'm not going to die anytime soon, charge up and kill that brat!"

Tra was furious. He had almost been defeated by a brat, and now all he wanted was to tear him to pieces.

The younger brother hesitated after being pushed away by the boss.

As Tra roared, blood gushed from his neck and mouth, especially around his kidneys, which were stained crimson. The situation was terrifying, and he might bleed to death at any moment.

However, since the eldest brother insists, we have no choice but to comply.

Inside the restaurant, Hermes was panting heavily behind the counter. He could clearly sense the pirates coming in from all directions, and if he showed his face, he would probably be riddled with bullets.

Without using the Mini-Mini Fruit, his fighting methods are still too limited.

"You deserve to be unlucky to run into me."

Hermes shrunk rapidly to five millimeters in size, then ran and leaped through a pile of debris, swaggering through the encirclement of a group of pirates and reappearing outside.

As a man with ambition and firm goals, one should naturally be like a dog, relentlessly pursuing one's target and biting it to death. This is the least one can do to show respect to one's enemy.

They approached Tra unnoticed, who was already beginning to hallucinate due to excessive blood loss.

He actually saw that kid appear before him like a ghost, even though they were in the restaurant, surrounded by his men.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

Hermes grinned, revealing a gentle smile, like the smile of death, and unleashed his finger gun with lightning speed, abruptly silencing the high-pitched howl.

Even as he breathed his last, Tra remained baffled as to how the other person had appeared.

"Boss."

At this moment, some pirates in the restaurant heard Tra's scream and ran out, all dumbfounded. How could that brat be outside?

bang bang bang! ! !

"kill him."

"Damn it, that brat was definitely inside."

The bullets whistled through the air and hurtled toward Hermes.

Hermes did not try to withstand the attack; with his current defensive capabilities, a single bullet could take him down at any moment.

Hermes quickly rolled to find cover, then shrank another five millimeters, flitting back and forth across the messy ground like a flea, rapidly approaching the pirates, and finally returning to his normal size to finish them off with his finger gun.

"what!!!"

"what happened."

"hateful."

As pirates fell one by one, only fear remained.

They had no idea how Hermes appeared. He would kill one person and then suddenly disappear, only to reappear in front of another pirate before they could even react, already on their way to the Western Paradise.

"Ability person."

"This kid is a Devil Fruit user, just like the captain."

at last.

Some of the pirates realized what was happening.

A living person cannot simply disappear and reappear out of thin air. Some pirates did notice Hermes's five-millimeter form, but it was all fleeting and not easily visible to the naked eye. In addition, with his teammates falling one after another, he might be next.

My heart was already in a panic; there was no time to calmly observe.

The gunfire quickly ceased, and every single pirate became a corpse. Hermes stood in the pool of blood, his body once again stained with blood.

"These must be members of the Dog Pirates!"

"There's something good to watch."

"I heard that this brat killed quite a few members of the Dog Pirates."

"Devil Fruit users are not common in this town."

"It seems to be a Paramecia type."

"If I remember correctly, the captain of the Dog Pirates, Joan, is also a Devil Fruit user!"

"It seems to be a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, Dog-Dog Fruit, Pug form, with a bounty of 38 million. That guy only managed to gain a foothold here because of his Devil Fruit. Apart from the Chain Pirates and the Twin Wheel Pirates, it's hard to find any other pirate crew that can stand up to him."

"Now we have one, and it's still a kid."

There were many pirates and civilians watching the show around the street, and many of them were whispering and talking amongst themselves, after all, Hermes had not killed an ordinary pirate.

The pirates, always eager for drama, were really looking forward to what would happen next.

Some people started speculating on the spot, guessing how many days Hermes would live, or even that the Dog Pirates would be wiped out by Hermes, which was quite absurd.

After taking his spoils, Hermes did not linger.

The feud with the Dog Pirates has now been established.

A man with guts doesn't sit idly by and wait to die; on the contrary, he will take the initiative to attack. Hermes Jormungandr is a man with guts.

"Dog Pirates, prepare your own graves. I, Hermes Jormungandr, will come to find you myself."

Before leaving, Hermes looked around and declared war, believing that his words would reach the ears of the Dog Pirates.

"That brat is so arrogant!"

"Young and impetuous, just like I was back then."

"Arrogant and unruly people usually die a terrible death."

no doubt.

With so many members of the Dog Pirates dying in a single day, coupled with his declaration of war before leaving, Hermes became even more famous.

The Dog Pirates, this stepping stone that they stumbled upon by chance, seems to be quite effective.

Actually, becoming famous in this world is very simple. You just need to challenge some well-known and powerful people, and if you survive, you will become famous.

However, the risks are very high.

"What? Even Travis is dead?"

When the news reached Qiao Ya, he was first taken aback, then his face contorted with rage.

It seems he underestimated his opponent.

Having lost many of his men, the outside world is probably laughing at him. That brat must die; no one can save him, as Qiao Ya himself said.

That final declaration of war enraged him even more.

"I'm just waiting for that arrogant brat to have his head crushed by myself."

"Yes!"

the other side.

Hermes washed up again and began to feast at the new restaurant. He was always hungry after a battle, which was good news.

The standard equipment of the strong.

After a hearty meal and drinks, it's time for the hunt.

But no rush, it will be dark in two or three hours, so there's plenty of time to take a nap.

Meanwhile, in the Dog Pirates' base, there were many people, both openly and secretly, who wanted to watch the show, including the Chain Pirates and the Twin Wheel Pirates, who were considered superior to the Dog Pirates.

The Dog Pirates were also relaxed, showing no sign of being serious. In their view, with Captain Joa there, a mere brat would only be a death sentence.

I've been waiting and waiting since daytime, almost three or four hours now, and I haven't seen a single person, not even a female toad.

"Is that kid scared?"

"It's getting dark."

"Captain Joa is a pirate with a bounty of 38 million. Apart from the Chain Pirates' captain Chain Man and the Twin Wheel Pirates' captain Cocos, there is really no one in the entire town who can stand up to him head-on."

"That brat is exaggerating. After he learned how powerful Qiao Ya is, he probably left town long ago."

"What a wasted trip."

"Damn it, I bet a million Berries, all my savings."

"If that brat doesn't come, I'll kill him."

As time slowly passed, many pirate thugs who had placed bets somewhere began to get impatient and angry, which was very frustrating.
