The most courageous pirate hunter

At this moment, Joan, covered in bruises, came out of the house, her sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.

"That brat is here. He's in the crowd. Find him for me."

"what?"

"That brat actually dared to come."

"Be careful, everyone. That brat has the ability to shrink. He can shrink to about the size of a flea."

"Ah this..."

Many pirates were dumbfounded. The size of a flea?

How can I find it in such darkness?

However, the captain's orders are absolute.

Chapter 11 [Pug: I'm Strong]

Most people would retreat in this situation. Alerting so many people and having one person gang up on an entire pirate crew is truly unwise.

Hermes was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

But Hermes was no ordinary man; on the contrary, he was a thief with guts.

They even dare to claim that there are five speed settings on an electric fan.

"what!!!"

With a scream, a pirate clutched his kidneys and collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing and his eyes wide with pain.

Having succeeded in his attack, Hermes vanished again in five millimeters, leaving the nearby pirates no time to react.

"asshole."

"That brat."

"Everyone be careful, stick together in groups of three."

The sudden attack put many pirates on high alert.

But this still couldn't stop Hermes's harvest. He swiftly moved through the grass, approaching a pirate and delivering a fatal blow, often before the pirate could even react.

Bang bang bang.

Screams rang out one after another, and the members of the Dog Pirates were dwindling at a visible rate. Even Joa couldn't help but join the search party.

"Kid, if you've got the guts, come out and have another one-on-one fight."

"A cowardly turtle."

Qiao Ya's eyes were bloodshot. The pitch-black environment was extremely advantageous to his opponent, and his men were powerless to resist.

Hermes ignored Joa's hysteria, reaping her relentlessly like the Grim Reaper in the night.

"All of you, get back inside and light all the torches."

Qiao Ya was getting anxious; he didn't want to be left all alone.

"Quickly, get back to the cabin."

"Light all the torches."

In an instant, all the pirates ran towards the ruined house, and even so, some of them screamed and fell down one after another.

"hateful."

Joa could only watch helplessly as he tried to stop it, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

In less crowded places, he could roughly smell where Hermes was, but now, with all sorts of body odors mixed together, his keen sense of smell was greatly diminished, and he even felt a little uncomfortable.

The smell of alcohol, sweat, and stinky feet mixed together was indistinguishable from invisible poison gas.

Gradually.

Only Joa and a dozen or so corpses remained at the scene.

Hermes, now in his normal form, appeared opposite Joa, staring at him coldly from three meters away. In a one-on-one duel, although he would be at a disadvantage, he would still be more than happy to accept the situation.

But if you add Joa's men to the mix, Hermes would undoubtedly lose.

If Hermes is unlucky and a bullet hits him, then he can say goodbye to this world.

There is no fair fight, even in a one-on-one situation.

"Kid, you've got guts."

Joa also understood Hermes's intention and wanted to fight him one-on-one.

Little did they know he was very strong; they were courting death.

"Long-winded."

Hermes' gaze sharpened, and he charged towards Joa, delivering a powerful whip kick while his finger pistol was poised to fire.

boom! ! !

Qiao Ya raised his hand to intercept, and then kicked him from the side as well.

Hermes shrank to fifty centimeters to dodge, then quickly returned to normal by bracing himself with his hands on the ground, and his feet shot straight at Joa's chin like cannonballs.

Joa retreated immediately; this was something he could easily have avoided. However, he hadn't expected Hermes to not only have the ability to shrink but also to grow larger.

moment.

Hermes, who was 1.77 meters tall, instantly expanded to 5 meters. Even if Joa took a step back, he could not dodge and his chin was hit solidly.

Qiao Ya's first sensation was weightlessness. Then he was lifted high off the ground, rolled several times on the ground, and his hands sank deep into the mud. After sliding a meter, he stood up with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

My jaw is dislocated.

Looking at Hermes, who maintained a five-meter height, the sense of oppression began to shift.

Click.

With both hands, Joa straightened his dislocated jaw and truly felt the pressure; this kid's abilities were just too troublesome.

"What kind of ability do you have?"

"idiot."

When confronted with Joa's question, Hermes immediately took action.

He's not stupid; why would he reveal his abilities?

However, this kind of unconventional tactic of announcing one's abilities at the start is quite common in the world of One Piece.

Boom~

A clash of titans, a powerful gust of wind.

Hermes is at a disadvantage in terms of strength, defense, speed, and endurance, but the Mini-Mini Fruit makes up for this well. At least in terms of dodging, Hermes has an absolute advantage.

The ability to grow bigger or smaller at will gave Joa a real headache.

A cold light flashed.

Hermes suffered another wound on his chest, and his opponent became increasingly adept at the fight. However, the number of bloody holes on his body also increased, and a normal person would have collapsed long ago.

The Zoan-type's bonus is all-encompassing, and this is just for ordinary types; if it were Ancient or Mythical Zoan types, it would be even more terrifying.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Having narrowly avoided an attack and created distance, Hermes coughed up blood. This duel had given him an unprecedented thrill, and his combat experience had skyrocketed.

While ensuring my own survival, I must make good use of this lapdog.

ten minutes later.

Hermes' strength began to wane, and coupled with his injuries, he was no longer able to fight.

On the other hand, although Joa was also panting and covered in wounds, continuing to fight was not a problem for her at all.

Hermes left no harsh words, charged out again and fought a few moves with Joa, then turned and retreated, his speed and suddenness leaving Joa stunned.

"I want to leave."

After chasing for a while, Qiao Ya had no choice but to give up.

In the darkness of night, and given the opponent's ability to shrink, catching up would be extremely difficult.

"Captain, are you alright?!"

Back at the base, Joa's face was ashen.

It's easy to imagine what rumors will circulate tomorrow. He, the captain of the Dog Pirates, a great pirate with a bounty of 38 million Berries, was actually bullied by a brat.

Not only did they fail to capture the enemy, they also lost many of their men.

This was a huge blow to his authority.

They lost face even more severely.

"That brat is badly injured. Find him for me."
