The most courageous pirate hunter

With no other options, Kaido began to use the power of his Devil Fruit, entering his Beast form, with wind blades surrounding his body, instantly disrupting Hermes' rhythm.

Throughout this time, Hermes was looking for an opportunity to enter Kaido's body, but Kaido defended against it very well.

The nostrils, mouth, and ears are all covered in Armament Haki, or they are temporarily closed using special methods, indicating that the person must have been familiar with Hermes' abilities before coming here.

Contrary to his burly appearance and seemingly unintelligent demeanor, Kaido is actually extremely shrewd and resourceful, a true genius.

Chapter 113 [Adrenaline keeps surging]

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Fresh blood kept gushing from his mouth.

Kaido enters his humanoid form, becoming a true humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Those thick scales and skin are incredibly tough; you can imagine how tough they are. Combined with their inherent defense and Armament Haki, it's hard to tell just how durable this guy really is.

If Hermes hadn't possessed the skill of internal sabotage, he probably wouldn't have even been able to harm Kaido.

"Is this what you are capable of?"

"They're really quite troublesome."

Kaido looked at Hermes, who was only five millimeters tall. He saw her as a grain of rice, steaming with high-temperature steam and flowing with purple-white Haki. Her tiny size had caused him a lot of trouble.

But that’s about it.

Observation color precisely locks onto the target.

Entering his human-beast form, he maxed out all his attributes. Fortunately, the opponent's Ryuo Haki wasn't strong enough and hadn't reached the level of Kozuki Oden.

Otherwise, it could easily hurt him.

It's a pity I forgot to bring the Eight Precepts (the spiked club), otherwise it would have been a one-hit wonder.

"Whether you admit it or not, I'm still a bit behind you."

"But you're a bit unlucky. I just got this stuff and you rushed to deliver it to me to test its effects."

"Perhaps it's fate."

"It's just such a coincidence!"

Hermes returned to his normal size, took out the deadly drug E·S, gritted his teeth and swallowed ten pills, increasing his strength twentyfold.

Under normal circumstances, he knew he was no match for Kaido.

Most importantly, Hermes also wanted to test the potion's power.

"Ahhh!"

"Damn it, why does it hurt so much?"

The moment the deadly drug E·S entered Hermes's stomach, it felt as if countless steel knives were scraping inside his body. His body swelled and expanded dramatically, his muscles seemed to be torn apart, his veins bulged, and his blood boiled.

Those jet-black eyes had turned into red with white pupils, and the jet-black hair was rapidly turning white. The aura was also rising rapidly, and the ground around them was constantly cracking, with waves of pressure constantly impacting them.

Kaido couldn't help but take a step back, his face full of emotion.

What kind of drugs did this kid take?

"This is not something a human could eat."

Hermes was panting heavily, his body feeling like it was being torn apart every moment, but the surge in his power was obvious. At this moment, Hermes felt like he was omnipotent.

"Kid, what did you eat?"

Kaido looked at Hermes with a hint of greed. If he could obtain this medicine that could enhance strength, the throne of the Pirate King would be his for the taking.

Whitebeard and Garp will both die.

Hermes ignored Kaido's question, as he was currently enduring the pain of his bone-scraping treatment and savoring the power he felt; this sense of power was simply too captivating.

We must do everything we can to eliminate the side effects of the deadly drug E·S.

boom! ! !

"I'm asking you."

Kaido flew into a rage and unleashed a powerful attack with a blast of energy beneath his feet.

Hermes' punch sent a groan through the air, but in the blink of an eye, his body shifted slightly, and he perfectly dodged the attack.

Time seemed to slow down at that moment. Hermes leaned forward slightly and slammed his elbow out, causing Kaido to stagger back in pain, spitting blood three feet high from his mouth.

Angry eyes widened.

A dragon claw the size of a palm leaf fan pressed down, bringing with it a massive storm.

There is no doubt that this claw strike could cause the earth to collapse; that is Kaido's destructive power.

Just as before, Hermes seemed to have anticipated this, taking only a small step to the left with ease. As the earth collapsed, Kaido's attack missed once again.

Unleash your true potential!

Without any haste, Hermes kicked Kaido in the arm, causing Kaido to lose his balance, and then landed a heavy uppercut on Kaido's chin.

As Kaido raised his head high, revealing several teeth, his massive body was forced to retreat.

Hermes pressed his advantage, his steam-filled shadows shifting behind him as he appeared beside Kaido, unleashing a full-scale attack with his fists, elbows, and knees.

Every move is aimed directly at the kidneys.

For a moment, Kaido was once again powerless to resist and could only passively take the beating like a punching bag.

suddenly.

Kaido sensed a crisis, an unprecedented crisis.

Hermes' entire right arm swelled up, with veins and blood vessels bulging, as if a tremendous amount of energy was being concentrated.

"AOE - King's Fist"

The terrifying storm erupted in an instant. Hermes raised his fist like a sun, shining with unparalleled light, and finally punched Kaido in the waist.

"puff!!!"

Kaido's burly figure was bent into a C-shape like a shrimp. His face was ferocious and his eyes were bloodshot. Blood splattered from his mouth and nose. The shockwave generated by his side formed a fan-shaped pillar of light, and the ground beneath their feet continued to collapse.

The entire island began to shake, cracks formed within a 10-kilometer radius, creating large craters. The surrounding barren mountains began to break through the soil and rise up, and the violent air pressure soared into the sky, piercing through the entire cloud layer.

Kaido transformed into a streak of light, tearing through eardrums as he shot off, causing the ground on both sides to explode and the already collapsed surface to cave in again.

Thick dust obscured all vision, and with a gust of wind, the towering mountains before Hermes vanished, leaving behind only a gaping, unfathomable canyon.

"this...."

Far away, Bages shuddered, looking at the earth-shattering destructive power. If that attack had hit him, he would probably have died on the spot.

Observation color radiation.

Hermes exhaled mist, his face contorted in a grimace, his red-and-white eyes appearing particularly sinister and terrifying.

Is this the allure of drugs?

Click, click, click!

Rumble, rumble.

The once stagnant sky changed color again, and thunder roared. The entire battlefield was unrecognizable, and the area centered on the battle was now riddled with deep ravines and towering hills.

Everything has changed.

suddenly.

That chilling aura rose once again.

Kaido emerged from the pit, covered in blood, roaring as a barrage of wind blades swept indiscriminately around him, his wounded body rapidly healing.

"He can still stand up after all?"

Even Hermes thought it was a fantasy.

You should know that I was on drugs, which boosted my strength to twenty times, and I also used my ultimate move, King's Fist. How come I still haven't fallen?

"Oro ro ro ro~"

Kaido laughed maniacally. He hadn't been injured so badly in a long time, especially by some nobody. No one would believe it if word got out.

"Jormungandr, become my subordinate. You are qualified to be the top commander of the Beasts Pirates."

He didn't care about his injuries at all.

Kaido was intrigued by the talent.

Although he prefers Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, he can make an exception if the other party is strong enough.

“Kaido, you are also qualified to be a member of the Monarchy.”

Hermes gave a slight, cold smile.

You still want to subdue him?

wishful thinking.
