The most courageous pirate hunter

He kicked out.

The crescent-shaped storm foot instantly grew to eighty meters, resembling a giant gear, easily cleaving through the stone-paved streets. It surged into the crowd, seemingly indestructible, and wherever it went, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the whole world fell silent.

The mermen rushing in from other directions all stopped, staring in stunned fear at the broad road stained red with blood and flesh, stretching as far as the eye could see, filled with screams and wails.

Just that one kick.

Indiscriminate slaughter.

Hundreds of fish-men of various kinds died violent deaths, leaving no intact corpses behind.

The well-planned layout of the houses has been completely torn apart, creating a large gap.

Chapter 121 [What a pity about this traitor!]

"Hoohoohoo!!"

Rough breathing.

All around, heavy breathing filled the air. All the merfolk were completely enraged. They were not frightened; instead, they were even more furious. They glared at Hermes with ferocious expressions. Today, this human had to be torn to pieces.

"Unforgivable."

"Kill all of these humans."

"A despicable and vile race."

An overwhelming wave of resentment and anger surged forth.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

Bullets and shells rained down indiscriminately on Hermes and the others, driving the fishmen completely mad.

"Those who are ignorant of their own mortality should be aware of their own weakness."

Hermes's face turned completely cold. If he were facing a strong opponent, he would never act rashly and provoke them before he had the strength to resist. The smart thing to do was to lie low until he had enough strength to face them.

To put it nicely, these murlocs are fearless; to put it bluntly, they're stupid.

"Give them their wish."

Hermes gave the order without any reverence for life in his eyes; he was never a good person.

"Hahaha~"

"boxing."

"Air Cube".

"BAA Baa baa!"

Burgess unleashed a punch, creating a violent shockwave that caused mountains to crumble and the earth to split in its wake. Fishmen screamed as they exploded, eventually turning into a rain of blood that covered the ground.

Gayram compressed the surrounding air, forming a cube, and threw it at the fishman. It exploded upon contact, turning into a mushroom cloud that kept rising, leaving hundreds of meters of severed limbs everywhere.

Hermes was also very simple and straightforward.

He kicked out several times in succession, transforming them into 70-80 meter long gusts of wind, reaping unilaterally with overwhelming force.

Al Pagachino kept firing shells, and bursts of intense explosions spread, causing a shower of blood to fall from the sky.

Just five minutes.

The area within a kilometer radius has been reduced to ruins. The fishmen who had previously been shouting and fighting are now few and far between. Those who survived were either lucky or had some strength.

In this hellish massacre, anger and hatred vanished, leaving only fear.

Absolute power can destroy everything.

"Go to the Dragon Palace."

Hermes gave a slight snort and looked up at the Dragon Palace in the far distance. His target was the deadly drug E·S. If these fishmen were still courting death, he wouldn't mind continuing to grant their wish.

"demon."

"This human is a demon."

After Hermes and his companions had gone far away, the surviving merfolk collapsed to the ground, staring at the streets littered with mangled corpses, their eyes filled with fear and despair. They were terrified.

Only now did they realize that these humans were not people they could afford to mess with.

at the same time.

The news also reached Ryugu Palace. King Neptune, accompanied by his ministers, waited there in person. Upon hearing what had happened at the port, he was powerless to do anything about it.

He had become numb to this phenomenon.

Fishman Island serves as a transit point between the first half of the Grand Line and the New World, and every year it encounters many powerful pirate crews, including some that are brutal and murderous.

The key issue is that Fishman Island's strength is insufficient to intimidate outsiders. It was only thanks to Jinbe becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea that Fishman Island's predicament was somewhat alleviated.

It can be said that he has used every trick in the book to get Fishman Island to its current state, bowing and scraping to the strong and playing both sides with other forces. Sometimes he really has no choice in the matter.

Unfortunately, there are always murlocs holding him back.

For example, Tiger Woods.

That emancipation of slaves nearly brought annihilation to Fishman Island. Although Tiger was regarded as a hero by many, from Neptune's perspective, it undoubtedly pushed all the fishmen into the abyss.

He would never want to be king if he could.

"Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that it is indeed Hermes Jormungandr, the Hunter King who captured both a Sweet Commander and one of the Three Calamities, and who has a bounty of 1.25 billion Berries on his head by the Navy because of the Heartrain Island incident."

"In addition, Hody Jones was captured by the other side."

The intelligence minister looked grave.

Because of Fishman Island's geographical location, news of the battle with Kaido had not yet reached Fishman Island. However, the mere fact that he had captured the Sweet Commanders and the Three Disasters, along with the bounty of 1.25 billion Berries, was enough to make Neptune take the matter seriously.

This is the tragedy of a race lacking great power.

If Fishman Island were located at sea, instead of 10,000 meters below the ocean floor, the entire Fishman race would likely have been enslaved, and humanity would ultimately dominate the world.

"I wonder what their purpose is?"

Neptune was somewhat worried.

Or is it that Hody Jones offended the other party, and then the other party wanted to take their anger out on the entire Fishman Island? This reason doesn't hold water, but we can't rule out that possibility.

Neptune knew that sometimes the strong bully the weak without needing a reason.

same moment.

Fishman Street.

As a lawless zone on Fishman Island, this place is inhabited by brutal and lawless fishmen, and the events that happen at the port are thoroughly reported here.

Hermes' actions, and Hody Jones' influence in Fishman Street, led a large number of Fishman leaders to gather together, planning an ambush.

Here.

Hermes and his party finally arrived at the Dragon Palace. However, they needed a specific mode of transportation to get there. They had just killed so many people, and if their transportation broke down on the way, they would surely die.

Fortunately, while I was pondering this, Neptune emerged from the Dragon Palace with several guards.

"Welcome, King of Hunters, to Fishman Island."

Neptune was all smiles and seemed very friendly.

Hermes scanned the burly fishman from head to toe, who had thick, fluffy orange-red hair and beard, flame-like tattoos on his arms, and thick body hair. Just like in the original story, he looked very imposing.

His appearance gives people the illusion that he is a master, but in reality, he is all bark and no bite. He has some skill, but not much!

“King Neptune, this is my business card.”

Hermes, not one to be rude to a smiling face, pulled out a business card and handed it to Neptune.

Neptune took the business card and reacted in a similar way to Gumir and Dragon, but this time the business card roughly indicated the scope of Monarch's business.

“King Neptune, I have come to make a deal with you.”

Seeing Neptune put away his business card, Hermes bluntly stated, "My goal is the drug E.S. As the Emperor of Trade, I can serve you unconditionally once, or I can give you a billion Berries."

After hearing Hermes' purpose, Neptune frowned and looked at Hody Jones, who was so thin he looked like he was about to die. It wasn't hard to guess that it was because of Hody Jones that the other party knew about the drug E.S.

"Your Majesty, the Deadly Drug E·S is a national treasure of Fishman Island, a forbidden drug..."

You only have two choices.

Hermes interrupted directly, his attitude very firm.

If it weren't for the fact that an imperial organization had already been established and required a certain level of integrity and morality, he would have already taken matters into his own hands and robbed it, instead of giving Neptune two options. However, this was still a forced sale, but it was much better than robbery.

Neptune fell silent.

Hermes waited patiently, and Neptune didn't keep Hermes waiting long. Soon, he sent Shark Star to retrieve the poison E.S. from the Dragon Palace.

He's bowing his head.

If Jinbe were on Fishman Island, that would be great.

No matter how you look at it, there's no other good option besides agreeing.

"I want all of the deadly drug E.S."
