The most courageous pirate hunter

"Damn it."

Katakuri roared, using all his strength, several sticky rice fists intertwined, burning with raging flames, and blasted out like a volcanic eruption.

Boom boom boom! ! !

The entire volcano began to shake, and large amounts of crust were lifted and blown away, turning into countless meteor showers that flew down the mountain. This was a catastrophic disaster.

A mushroom cloud, surrounded by a halo of atmospheric pressure, slowly rose.

After everything dissipates.

What appeared before Hermes was a canyon fissure that forcefully pierced through the volcanic rock wall and shot out from the other end, disappearing into the horizon, with no straight-line distance within three thousand meters remaining.

Such powerful destruction and tremors began to trigger a volcanic eruption.

The ash-covered fire, which blotted out the sun, erupted immediately, followed by a massive surge of lava that rose to the clouds and eventually poured down as a torrential downpour across the entire island.

"Help!"

"Leave Hartlein Island immediately."

"Damn Charlotte Katakuri, Hermes Jormungandr."

Everyone on the island has gone mad.

They all fled one after another. The battle between the two had triggered a volcanic eruption, and the entire island would soon be subjected to nature's baptism.

The island has been destroyed.

"Hahaha~"

"The boss went too far!"

Burgess punched Smoothie away, and could feel the entire island shaking, especially the volcano with its billowing black smoke, which was erupting one after another.

A lava ball the size of a house was hurtling toward them.

"Mansherry, Guyram, Alpagachino, retreat!"

The battle could no longer continue, so the three people and the sheep decisively retreated.

"Get ready to leave."

Smoothie didn't give chase. After giving some instructions to the others, she rushed towards the mountainside to check on Katakuri's condition.

Because, according to his Observation Haki, Katakuri's presence had vanished.

This is a very bad sign.

"It's too big."

Hermes had now returned to his normal size, his face was pale and blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth. You could vaguely see the exhaustion in his eyes; that punch had almost drained him dry.

However, I am very satisfied with its power.

Surprisingly, the Observation Haki radiation failed to detect Katakuri.

Looking at the gushing lava and the cracked ground, it felt like an apocalyptic scene of landslides and earthquakes. Katakuri was lucky.

I hesitated for a moment.

Hermes turned and left.

Chapter 106 [The Cruel Reality and the World (Sweeping the World灬丿Ah New +5)]

"boom..."

In the lava fragments.

A hand suddenly shot out, and Katakuri, his face covered in blood, scrambled to his feet. Bathed in lava, his face was fierce as he panted heavily, looking towards the horizon, his eyes flashing red.

Sensing the disappearing aura, Katakuri clenched his fists, veins bulging on his neck, blood uncontrollably flowing from his seven orifices.

His internal organs were covered in wounds.

He lost, he lost miserably.

shame.

An unprecedented humiliation.

This was unbearable for Katakuri, who was always more proud than anyone else.

"Katakuri."

The volcano continues to erupt.

Cracks tore open in the rock face halfway up the mountain, and a shower of lava meteors bloomed in all directions. Smoothie rushed over, and when she saw Katakuri's miserable state, her heart sank and she found it hard to believe.

Katakuri was defeated.

"I was careless this time."

"Get out of here first."

Katakuri, his face grim, stretched out his arm and pulled out the trident stuck in the ground in the distance. Without offering any further explanation, he left with some difficulty.

The opponent's strength has been severely underestimated.

He needs to go back to Cake Island to report to his mother.

He was even prepared to be punished. This time, even his personal efforts failed to subdue the other party, and his mother was sure to be furious.

"Boss, do you think we might get wanted by the police?"

On the sea behind Hartline, the Death was speeding away. Alpagachino and Guyram occasionally shattered the incoming lava bombs. Bages and Mansherry looked at the collapsing Hartline, wondering how many people had been displaced or died tragically.

This is the world of One Piece.

The weak don't even know how they died.

"Maybe!"

Hermes gazed into the distance, and to be honest, he felt no remorse. Both his past and present lives had made his heart cold. The only kindness he retained was his refusal to indiscriminately kill innocent people or oppress civilians.

Occasionally, a change of heart might lead to some charitable acts.

However, if the damage was caused accidentally to the surrounding objects or people during battle, Hermes could only offer no help. After all, death could come at any moment during battle, and there was no time to care about anything else; survival was the priority.

This is why Hermes desperately wanted to become stronger, simply because he didn't want to go back to the past when he couldn't even afford food and nearly died several times.

To live the freest life, with beautiful women at your feet and power over the world, you must climb the ladder.

In this world, no strong person is innocent.

Individual strength is simply too great. Wherever there are people, fighting will inevitably cause a lot of displacement. It can be said that every prominent figure has blood on their hands.

This world is more dangerous and more dog-eat-dog than we imagine.

As for whether he would be wanted by the authorities, Hermes didn't care.

He is no longer the same person he used to be. He has stood up completely, gained a certain voice and control over his own destiny, and the Statue of Liberty is embracing him.

Hermes' next task was to completely seize control of the Statue of Liberty.

"Stop contradicting yourselves. The problem isn't with us, it's with the world!"

"That's just how reality is: the law of the jungle, the strong make the rules, and the weak can only passively obey!"

Hermes slapped Mansherry on the back of the head. The little brat's face was full of confusion and self-blame. If he wasn't interrupted, she might get stuck in a rut, at best doubting herself, at worst developing a mental breakdown.

"Hahaha~"

Of the entire ship, perhaps only Mansherry still had a shred of conscience. As for Hermes, Burgess, and Guyram, they all had unknown pasts and had long since figured out the rules of survival on this sea.

As for Alpagachino, let's not even talk about that alpaca.

The next day.

A news report spread across the ocean, causing quite a stir, but for the whole world, such things are commonplace, and if you encounter one, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

"Big news!"

"Hermes Jormungandr, the King of Hunters, clashed with Charlotte Katakuri, the strongest Sweet Commander, on Heartrain Island, causing a volcanic eruption that destroyed the entire island."

"A large number of residents have been displaced, and the number of casualties is impossible to count."

"How cruel!"

Some righteous people have condemned it or expressed their deep sorrow, but this phenomenon is all too common throughout history. Only the strong can live life to the fullest, while the weak live in constant fear.

"Hahaha."

"I never expected Katakuri to be defeated. Big Mom has completely lost face."

"This King of Hunters is quite capable. Both the Generals and the Three Calamities have suffered greatly at his hands."

Do you think Big Mom and Kaido will personally take action?

Some people, who seem to thrive on chaos, watched the news with great interest.

However, many were still surprised, as the news reported that the King of Hunters had gained the upper hand, and the most powerful Sweet Commander under the Four Emperors had lost.

What does this mean?
