The most courageous pirate hunter

Teacher Kai truly lives up to his reputation.

This meal wasn't a waste of time.

Moreover, he had some highlights at the beginning, which is already pretty impressive!

Hermes even believed he had found the secret to becoming stronger: fight these top experts, and perhaps under enough pressure and the threat of death, some abilities would be born.

However, the death threat is a real threat.

"Ahhh!"

Mansherry was incredibly audacious. She knelt on the deck, clutching her chest with one hand, her face contorted with a deathly expression. She just missed out on 4.6111 billion Berries.

The duck that reached the beak flew away.

It breaks my heart.

That's really easy for someone who doesn't understand the situation.

Chapter 117 [Xiao Ming's Determined Efforts]

"Big news, big news."

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"This is fake!"

"Hermes Jormungandr, the King of Hunters with a bounty of 1.25 billion Berries, fought Kaido of the Beasts on Sweet Sauce Island, and the two were evenly matched."

"The battle between the King of Hunters and Kaido of the Beasts resulted in severe damage to Sweet Sauce Island."

"How is that possible? What kind of news report is this? It's completely distorting the facts. The King of Hunters meets Kaido of the Beasts, you don't even need to think about the outcome!"

"You're crazy. The King of Hunters obviously ran away in defeat, yet you're exaggerating and saying it was evenly matched."

"However, the fact that the Four Emperors Kaido of the Beasts did not manage to capture the opponent shows that the King of Hunters is indeed quite capable."

"Although the King of Hunters was defeated, he should not be underestimated. To be able to survive against the Four Emperors is truly remarkable."

"Not everyone can face the Four Emperors, let alone in battle."

"A bounty of 12 billion Berries is too low. To be able to fight against a Yonko and then escape, the bounty should be at least 5000 billion Berries."

"The King of Hunters isn't a pirate, is he?!"

"The King of Hunters is a pirate hunter who was put on a bounty because of the Heartrain Island incident. It can only be said that he is a man who has captured both the Sweet Commanders and the Three Disasters. After some time, he has started to set his sights on the Four Emperors?"

"This incident was probably Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, going to avenge the Three Disasters being captured by the King of Hunters and sold to the Navy. Who would have thought that he couldn't capture them? It's another embarrassment for him."

"The Great Pirate Era was truly a time of many heroes rising up, with fearless and powerful monsters appearing every now and then."

The next day.

The whole world was in an uproar.

The battle on Sweet Sauce Island was captured on camera, and such a huge commotion could not be concealed. As soon as the news was reported, the name of Hermes Jormungandr, the King of Hunters, became a trending topic.

The content in the news caused a huge uproar.

Those are the Four Emperors.

Not only could they fight, but they also managed to escape successfully. Based on this alone, Hermes Jormungandr is the uncrowned king of the pirate hunter world. Not everyone is so audacious.

This battle.

Hermes' name became even more famous. As for Kaido, he had become a stepping stone. People's attention was almost entirely focused on Hermes. Some admired his courage, some admired his strength, and some scoffed, thinking the news was fake.

Regardless of the circumstances, Hermes was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary of this battle.

Snapped! ! !

A glass full of red wine shattered on the ground, the wine, as sweet as blood, spilled everywhere. Judging by its quality, it was clearly a bottle worth over a million Berries, something an ordinary person could never afford in their lifetime.

"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Jormungandr."

Dressrosa, King's Heights.

Doflamingo sat in a chair, holding a newspaper in his hand, which was about the Sweet Sauce Island incident, which had already sold out.

That beast actually escaped from Kaido's grasp.

This is impossible.

He had experienced firsthand how terrifying Kaido was.

In just a few years, has that beast become so powerful? Isn't the speed at which he's grown stronger too fast? If this continues, forget about revenge, even regaining his honor will be a question.

No.

He also needs to work hard to become stronger. Born to be a king, he is no less than anyone else. Since becoming a Shichibukai, he seems to have become quite lazy and hasn't seriously trained.

this moment.

Doflamingo felt a sense of urgency; he absolutely could not be eliminated by this era. He was the only one who could stand at the forefront of the times, so he should train hard!

He's already so strong even without much training; if he were to train seriously for a while longer, then...

"Fufufu!"

Standing up from his chair, Doflamingo looked out the window with a sinister grin, his pink goose-feather coat billowing in the wind behind him, exuding an air of unbridled freedom and invincibility.

Jormungandr and the Four Emperors will ultimately become his stepping stones.

Little did anyone know that it was Hermes's provocation that would lead to Luffy being beaten so badly in the Dressrosa incident that he wouldn't even recognize his own parents. Doflamingo at that time was far stronger than in the original story.

The root of all this lies with Hermes.

The Grand Line.

A vast base exists beneath the surface of a rebellious kingdom.

Many revolutionary soldiers moved through the underground passages, creating a very oppressive and solemn atmosphere.

One of the rooms was filled with more than a dozen people who may not be famous now, but they will all become renowned powerhouses in the future.

This is where the revolutionary army is located.

It is considered by world governments to be the greatest threat to global stability.

Because the nature of the Revolutionary Army is completely different from that of pirates. You should know that ordinary pirates do not actively attack the government or the navy, but the Revolutionary Army will plot to overthrow the regimes of the world's member states.

Simply put, pirates are a bunch of thugs, but the Revolutionary Army wants to change the regime and is a regular army with cohesion and a firm goal.

However, the Revolutionary Army operates in secrecy, and the general public is unaware of their actions. Only their leader, Monkey D. Dragon, is known to the world and is even recognized by the government as "the world's most vicious criminal."

The Revolutionary Army was established after the destruction of Ohara Island, and it has been several years since then. The World Government has long been aware of the danger and has begun to suppress it in various ways. As the World Government has targeted them, the Revolutionary Army is now becoming more and more secretive and cautious in its actions.

The revolutionary army's current strategy is to stockpile grain, build high walls, and delay declaring itself king; everything is developing and growing steadily.

In the Hearthstone Islands incident, they did their fair share of vying for fame with the World Government, and they also used their usual tactics of smearing each other. They would seize any opportunity to make the World Government look bad or annoy the other side.

"What do you think?"

At the head of the table, the dragon spoke first.

"Very strong. Whether it's Kaido of the Beasts or the King of Hunters, perhaps we underestimated the King of Hunters' strength."

A revolutionary army cadre spoke up.

"Although our greatest enemy is the World Government, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The King of Hunters was originally a pirate hunter, but he was put on a bounty by the World Government during the Heartrain incident, so he must be very uncomfortable."

Perhaps we can try to win them over.

Some cadres also spoke up after thinking for a while.

Their consistent approach to powerful figures on the high seas is to win them over, avoiding offending them if possible.

"good."

"The most crucial thing is his identity as the King of Hunters, a pirate hunter. Currently, in the pirate hunter industry, the King of Hunters has a top reputation and a large number of fans."

If we can win them over, or even get them to join the revolutionary army, these are all potential forces.

“I think it’s okay to win them over, but there’s no need to invite them to join the Revolutionary Army. This guy has captured a Sweet Commander and one of the Three Disasters, which has completely offended Charlotte Linlin and Kaido. If he joins us, it will bring a lot of trouble to the Revolutionary Army. The benefits will not outweigh the drawbacks.”

“It’s definitely not suitable. Judging from his actions, he’s clearly a restless man. It’s fine to befriend him, but there’s no need for him to join the revolutionary army.”

The dragon sat in the head seat, allowing the group to discuss the matter.

He is also thinking.

At first, I did want to try to get the other party to join the revolutionary army, but after analysis, it seems that winning them over and befriending them is the best approach. It looks like I need to find some time to make contact with them.

at the same time.

Many forces are also talking about it.

The Red-Haired Pirates, Whitebeard Pirates, and Big Mom Pirates, all of whom are also Yonko, were somewhat surprised, as not everyone can escape unscathed from Kaido.

It looks like Kaido was injured.

That makes a difference.
