The most courageous pirate hunter

This guy's calm demeanor, coupled with a hint of eagerness, suggests either confidence or madness.

but.

Anyone who dares to provoke the Beasts Pirates will only face one fate: death!

"Kid, I wonder if you can kill me?"

Without any warning.

Kaido suddenly attacked, his massive, pillar-like arm creating a sonic boom that struck Hermes' head like a bolt of lightning.

This blow caused mountains to crumble and the earth to split open.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

"I wonder if you can teach me anything."

Hermes' gaze was sharp, his clenched fist exuded a domineering purple-white aura, and the blood in his body surged wildly in an instant, that extreme excitement filling his entire soul.

The world's strongest creature, the strongest teacher—I hope I won't disappoint myself.

A fist the size of a millstone collided with a fist the size of a steamed bun, causing a thunderous explosion that swept across the entire space. A shockwave transformed into a halo of light, creating a continuous series of explosions.

The immense force felt like the sky was collapsing, causing Hermes to frown. The ground beneath his feet crumbled and exploded repeatedly before he finally stopped, having slid more than thirty meters to the side.

Kaido also took two steps back, his huge eyes, the size of copper bells, revealing surprise.

Hermes shook his arm to relieve the numbness, and his gaze became completely sharp.

"You leave first."

With his back to Guyram and the others, Hermes spoke in a serious tone: only Burgess could participate in this kind of battle; anyone else would probably be killed by Kaido in a single exchange.

He doesn't even need to take action himself; he can solve the problem simply by releasing his Conqueror's Haki.

"withdraw!"

Everyone knew there was no point in staying, so they quickly retreated, leaving only Burgess to watch from the outside of the battlefield, ready to intervene if necessary.

I wonder if Kaido can withstand one of his punches.

Bages stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, looking quite expectant.

boom! ! !

A violent aura surged forth, unleashing a hurricane that instantly darkened the entire sky. Streaks of black and red lightning slashed down, and a demonic, tyrannical will pressed down on Hermes from all sides.

Majestic.

I am the only one who matters.

This will is full of violence and dominance.

Hermes's tousled hair fluttered as he felt a weight on his shoulder. Sensing this mountain-like will, he pursed his lips, his eyes remaining completely unmoved.

High-temperature steam rises.

Hermes struck first, creating a crater with a blast beneath his feet. He then flashed to Kaido's side and delivered a direct knee strike, his dense purple-white Haki flowing through him. For a tanky guy like Kaido, internal destruction is the most effective method.

With a single knee strike, Kaido and Hermes collided, creating a meteor-like explosion.

Click click click.

The previously turbulent sky began to form a black hole, like a leaking leak, swirling the entire cloud layer, like a catastrophic natural disaster rushing forth.

"I am the freest and most courageous, what's a mere tyrant's lust!"

A powerful aura emanated from Hermes, revealing an unruly, inexplicably confident, and fearless spirit, especially his glaring sense of superiority.

in this world.

Every strong person has their own aura, which may not be as unique as Conqueror's Haki, but can still hold their own against it.

Furthermore, the imposing presence of some superiors can also create a sense of oppression and intimidation.

Those at the top of the world, even without Conqueror's Haki, can still inspire awe. People like Garp and Zephyr are examples; even Kaido would have to be wary of them.

Flying sand and flying rocks.

The wind howled.

The sky, like a leaky sieve, was torn apart, transforming into a chasm that stretched across the entire firmament.

Numerous black and red lightning bolts roared, causing the entire island to tremble. Large numbers of people began to flee, and the situation on Hartline Island began to unfold.

This is the terrifying power of battles between the strong.

"What a joke."

"The sky was torn apart..."

Hody Jones was trembling all over on the way to the Death.

Only then did he realize what the terror of the strong truly meant, and how narrow-minded he had been before.

boom! ! !

Hermes was already going all out, wanting to see how much difference there was between his physical skills and his opponent's. He tore through Kaido's eardrums with his elbow and slammed it powerfully into Kaido's broad chest.

Kaido's thick arm blocked his chest, and sparks flew as the two collided.

Seeing that Kaido had successfully blocked his elbow, Hermes flipped over and jumped onto Kaido's head, slamming his right foot down like a giant mountain.

The momentum was explosive.

Kaido's punch pierced through Hermes' right foot, colliding with it.

With the massive explosion, Hermes soared into the sky, while Kaido plummeted downwards, causing mountains to shift and seas to recede within a radius of several thousand meters.

Hermes stood in mid-air, shaking his right foot and feeling a tingling sensation, while Kaido, who was in the giant crater, felt no discomfort as he ascended into the air.

Without a word, the two stirred up a storm like meteorites.

The two, one large and one small, are like raging behemoths; the force of each punch and kick they exchange can easily shatter metal and crack rocks, thus causing unparalleled destruction.

"call out!"

Electric light and flint.

Before anyone could see what it was, a whooshing sound came from the center of the island, and the entire island suddenly trembled. Numerous cracks spread out, eventually creating a ravine that crashed into several barren mountains, raising clouds of smoke and dust.

With the sunlight blocked, Kaido landed on the island, exuding a menacing aura.

"tui~"

A coughing sound came from the center of the dilapidated dust.

Hermes stepped out of the smoke and spat out the blood in his mouth. With his incredibly strong defense, he had been beaten to the point of vomiting blood in just a few exchanges. The Four Emperors were indeed formidable.

It is vastly different from the General Star and the Three Calamities.

"Kid, you actually know the Ryuo from Wano Country."

Kaido also felt a little uncomfortable, as the attack took effect inside his body during the collision. Looking at the purplish-white liquid flowing between Hermes' hands, it was definitely Ryuo.

Only this kind of domineering aura can threaten him.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

"Want to know? Defeat me."

Hermes was arrogant, his body temperature was rising sharply, and his life restoration had been pushed to the limit.

"Orororororo".

Kaido laughed loudly, but his laughter grew colder and colder.

"I'll help you."

A murderous intent filled the air.

Kaido's fierce face glared, the ground beneath his feet cracked, and he vanished in an instant, reappearing in front of Hermes. His thick, powerful legs seemed to freeze the air like mountains, before suddenly bursting forth with terrifying, overwhelming force.

Hermes, his face contorted with madness, chose the most primal physical collision without dodging or avoiding it.

He's tough too.

The atmosphere was like a thunderous drumbeat.

The two vastly different right feet slammed together, and in an instant the earth collapsed, the resulting cracks tearing apart the surrounding area to form a basin.

The hurricane's splashing waters swept across the land, creating a sandstorm and tsunami.

Hermes' face paled slightly, and he couldn't stop the force that sent him flying backward. He crashed heavily into a barren mountain, shattering into pieces with a continuous roar.

Kaido took a few steps back and flew into a rage.

call out! ! !

Hermes moved close to the ground amidst the thick smoke and dust, advancing instead of retreating and launching a powerful attack.

A punch was thrown, creating a sonic boom. At the same time, Kaido also threw a punch, and the destructive power of the meteor collision was earth-shattering.

Aside.

Burgess watched all of this with a serious expression and without blinking.

His eyes burned with desire; he wanted to join the fight too.
