The most courageous pirate hunter

"ember."

Lava dripped from his body, and Sakazuki's resolute face revealed a murderous intent that he made no attempt to conceal.

In an instant.

Two powerful auras rose up, generating enormous air pressure upon collision. The hot-tempered Sakazuki showed no mercy.

All evil should be eradicated.

"The Hound of the Underworld".

Sizzling lava spewed out, and Sakazuki's entire right arm turned into lava, blasting towards Jhin with lightning speed and a sonic boom.

The first move is a killer.

"Fire Dragon Emperor."

Jhin gripped his katana tightly, unleashing a strike that transformed him once more into a fiery dragon, firmly blocking Sakazuki's attack, while the ground beneath his feet rapidly melted and cracked.

"Death will be your destiny."

Sakazuki, his murderous aura palpable, suddenly expanded his molten arm, creating the force of a volcanic eruption that shattered the Flame Dragon in one fell swoop, and continued its relentless assault on Jin.

Ember did not try to withstand the attack. He disappeared the moment the Flame Dragon was destroyed. When he reappeared, he was already in mid-air. He then raised his body and entered full beast form, firing a laser shockwave from his sharp beak.

This move has tremendous penetrating power.

"The Great Spitfire."

Sakazuki stood in the lava, showing no intention of dodging. He clenched his fist and expanded the lava, simulating the shockwave from a volcanic eruption, forming a giant magma fist the size of a mountain that rose from the ground.

Boom boom boom! ! !

A dazzling light shone brightly, and countless meteor showers and lava celestial maidens scattered in all directions. Two figures were entangled together, colliding and exploding every now and then.

In just a few minutes, the entire branch began to crumble.

"Lieutenant General, are you alright?"

Many of the surviving marines left the scene immediately; this was a battle they couldn't get involved in.

After finding Dalmesia and treating her, it was discovered that she was out of danger, which relieved many of the marines.

"Cough cough cough."

Once he regained consciousness, Dalmesia looked at the fierce battle in the distance. He had done all he could; now it was up to Sakazuki.

slowly.

As the battle intensified, dawn broke.

As the first rays of sunlight rose above the horizon, a loud bang came from above the clouds.

Jhin and Sakazuki, who were locked in battle, looked up at the same time. The former was somewhat incredulous and surprised, while the latter looked rather grim, though still exuding a murderous aura.

"How could it be so fast?"

Dalmesia, whose body was already wrapped in bandages, looked up at the sky with goosebumps rising on his skin. There, a dark shadow was falling rapidly, its speed increasing.

As the deafening explosion spread, the ground shook, followed by a storm that whipped up sand and gravel, leveling an area within a kilometer radius.

The disaster struck suddenly. When the dust settled, a bottomless pit appeared before everyone's eyes, emanating a violent and ferocious aura, like a savage beast that made their souls tremble.

"boom!"

suddenly.

The pitch-black abyss, seemingly connecting to hell, stretched out a giant hand gripping the ground, and then a demonic figure leaped out.

A blast of air instantly ripped the ground apart, revealing a colossal creature to everyone.

Its demonic figure blocked out the sunlight, and its malevolent aura surged.

He has a thick head of black hair that falls over his shoulders, a pair of curved horns on his head, a beard that looks like a dragon's whiskers on his mouth, and lifelike scale tattoos on his left arm.

His upper body was bare except for a purple shirt hanging from his waist, and he wore dark green wide-legged trousers with a shimenawa rope tied around his waist. His powerful and muscular body was covered with shocking scars.

The oppressive atmosphere was overwhelming.

"Four...Four Emperors".

"Kaido of the Beasts".

Some marines panicked, swallowing hard and muttering to themselves.

Kaido of the Beasts has really appeared.

The pressure was palpable throughout the room!

Chapter 98 [The duck that was about to be eaten flew away (Shamelessness makes one invincible +1)]

"Hey Hey hey!"

"Is this real or fake?"

"This is big news!"

"King, one of the three calamities of the Beasts Pirates, attacked the Marine G-26 branch in an attempt to rescue Queen, Ulti, and Who's Who, who had been captured by the Hunter King Hermes Jormungandr."

"Lieutenant General Dalmesia was seriously injured."

"Admiral Akainu arrived and clashed with one of the Three Disasters, King. Then, the Yonko Kaido appeared."

"Admiral Akainu faced Kaido of the Beasts and King of the Three Disasters alone, and was also seriously injured."

"The three calamities, Queen, the six flying creatures, Rune, and Foz-Foe, were rescued."

"Admiral Kizaru missed his target."

"Naval branch G-26 has been destroyed."

After a night.

The whole world was in an uproar.

Although the news reports only contained snippets, everyone knew how intense and terrifying the battle was, involving only the strongest individuals.

Overall, the navy suffered a loss this time.

If Kizaru had arrived in time, the outcome might have been different.

Unfortunately, just like last time, the navy was caught off guard this time.

"Boss, big news!"

"Hahaha~"

In a certain sea area, the Death Ship.

Burgess bought a newspaper and looked at the news with a smug expression.

Hermes, busy in the vegetable garden, wore a miniature watermelon knife around his neck, his body surrounded by red steam and flowing with purplish-white liquid. His Observation Haki radiated around the clock, and even in his leisure time, he did not forget to cultivate, as if he wanted to return his life to its normal state.

At the same time, it also consumes two types of domineering energy.

In fact, cultivating domineering aura is very simple: it's about constantly consuming and constantly recovering. By repeatedly cyclical and compressing, the quantity and quality of domineering aura will gradually increase.

However, the process is tiring.

Moreover, this kind of fatigue affects both the physical and mental aspects.

If you look closely, you'll also notice that Hermes is wearing seastone, though it's not very pure. Even so, cultivating in this state is something that most people can't sustain.

"What big news!"

While tending to the weeds, Mansherry wiped the sweat from her forehead, looking somewhat curious.

"Quinn and the other two were rescued by the Yonko Kaido and the Three Disasters King, and the Marine Admiral Akainu failed to defend them."

Burgess handed the news to Hermes, and Mansherry jumped onto Hermes' shoulder to watch it together.

"As expected, it's a pity Borsalino arrived too late."

After reading the news report.

Hermes wasn't surprised. There were only two possible outcomes: either he would be rescued or he wouldn't. With Kaido and King personally taking action, even Akainu, as the top admiral, couldn't possibly hold out.

If Kaido can hold off Sakazuki, King can rescue Queen and the other two.

And believe it or not, that's exactly what Kaido and King did.

So even if Sakazuki was unwilling, there was nothing he could do; he couldn't carry the burden alone.

The only one to blame is Borsalino for arriving too late.

"Now we're even more famous, and everything points back to us."

The newspaper devoted a considerable amount of space to explaining the whole story, pointing the finger at Hermes and his two companions as the culprits. Many people felt that Hermes and his companions were troublemakers and dangerous elements.

One moment they nearly sparked a clash between the Big Mom Pirates and the Navy, and the next they had the Beasts Pirates and the Navy clashing, potentially leading to a full-scale war between the Four Emperors and the Navy.

When Quinn and his two companions fell into the hands of the Navy, many factions were worried that the balance would be broken, which could have far-reaching consequences.

"We made the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates lose so much face, and if I'm not mistaken, we'll be hunted down next. You two should be prepared."
