The most courageous pirate hunter

This is a life return process that maintains minimal energy expenditure. The body is constantly in motion, which is also a form of cultivation, fully demonstrating the meaning of "a steady stream of energy, accumulating little by little."

There was even a flash of purplish-white liquid, which was the body being washed with Armament Haki.

Many One Piece fans speculate that the twelve Supreme Grade Swords were forged using Haki. Hermes doesn't know if that's true or not, but he's been using Haki to cleanse his body for the past two years.

Anyway, my body stiffness has improved a lot.

"Fire Fist Ace? Blackbeard Marshall Teach? You know the boss?"

"They are all pirates from the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors."

"I never expected that Marshall Teach would betray Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world."

Bages and the others were also looking at the outdated newspapers, but the news articles were still quite readable.

"That's it!"

Hermes tore at his leg of meat, continuing to read other news while pondering his next move, but soon his expression turned meaningful.

According to their Observation Haki, a group of people was approaching them.

Chapter 127 [A Person Who Attracts Negation? Watch My Soul Transfer Technique!]

The tavern door was pushed open.

A number of people entered one after another, all of them navy personnel wearing navy uniforms.

The leader was a lieutenant general, and not just any ordinary lieutenant general.

"Hey Hey hey!"

"How could such a powerful guy be here!"

"Captain, let's get out of here right away."

"Damn it, it's Doberman."

When the leader was recognized by the others, especially the pirates, their expressions changed drastically and they retreated immediately, like mice seeing a cat. The entire tavern fell silent instantly.

The reason was simply because the vice admiral was Vice Admiral Doberman of the Navy Headquarters, who had X-shaped scars on his neck and face. He was a well-known hawk in the Navy, with a tough style and, like Sakazuki, believed in absolute justice.

They have almost zero tolerance for pirates.

During the Marineford War, he was the only vice admiral in the Navy who dared to rebuke one of the Four Emperors, which shows his iron will.

No wonder all the pirates who recognized it fled at the first sign of trouble. If I'm not mistaken, they must have just finished a mission and were stopping by Octopus Island to resupply.

"Shopkeeper, please bring the wine and food as soon as possible."

All the naval personnel looked somewhat travel-worn, but their discipline was impeccable. It was clear at a glance that they had undergone rigorous training, and each of them exuded the aura of a master, at least someone who had fought against hundreds of enemies over many years.

"Go and get rid of these maritime scourges."

Doberman had a katana hanging at his waist, his expression serious and his eyes sharp. He couldn't tolerate even the slightest imperfection. Since these pirates had encountered him, they weren't going to leave.

Not bad.

That's how tough we are. If we encounter pirates, they'll die even if they haven't done anything wrong. They won't even have a chance to escape. We'll capture them one by one without any leniency.

"Do it!"

Doberman's adjutant waved his hand, and several lieutenants and colonels attacked in quick succession. In an instant, the tavern was filled with the flashing of swords, and a battle broke out without warning.

Doberman and the five major generals sat down and waited for the restaurant to serve their food.

"Ahhhh!"

"Doberman, you've gone too far."

"Damn it, how did I end up running into the Navy's iron-fisted faction here?"

"Men, scatter and escape!"

It wasn't just the tavern; battles were breaking out on the streets outside. You could only say these pirates were unlucky.

Under normal circumstances, Doberman might not have been so assertive, since it was just a meal.

But what can you do when this mission just didn't go well?

"Lieutenant General, those seem to be Hermes Jormungandr, the King of Hunters, and his associates, the Fighting Champion Gizzas Burgess and the Cube Man Guyram, with bounties of 1.25 billion Berries, 100 million Berries, and 30 million Berries respectively."

A major general surveyed the surroundings and spotted Hermes and his companions still feasting. After careful observation, he recognized them and approached Doberman with a slightly serious expression, whispering something to him.

As for Mansherry and Alpagachino, they were completely ignored.

Hody Jones didn't even have a bounty, while Mansherry at least had 100 Berries.

"kindness?"

Doberman frowned, turned to look at Hermes and his group, and his somewhat fierce face immediately darkened. Two years ago, this man was quite famous.

He was originally a pirate hunter, but because his battle with Charlotte Katakuri on Heartland Island caused a volcanic eruption that resulted in numerous casualties, he was given a bounty of 1.25 billion Berries.

He can be described as a heinous criminal.

Such unruly individuals, who act recklessly and rely on their power, are even more despicable and despicable than some pirates.

I haven't heard from this guy in the last two years, so I didn't expect to run into him here.

"Lieutenant General, shall we make a move?"

When the major general saw that Doberman's expression had become serious, he knew it was time to take action, but he still needed to ask for instructions.

Based on his understanding of the Vice Admiral, when faced with someone with such a high bounty, whether a pirate or a bandit, as long as they are extremely heinous, he would not hesitate to take action. Moreover, the enemy's fate is always the same: either be killed on the spot or be sent to the world's largest prison.

This is the vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters, especially the hawks, who will carry out their iron-fisted and absolute justice to the end, and will not tolerate the slightest injustice.

"Keep it down."

Doberman glanced at Hermes and the others, then drank the bitter tea poured for him by the other major generals.

These actions show that Doberman didn't take Hermes and his group seriously at all, even though Hermes had offered a bounty of 1.25 billion Berries.

Perhaps in his eyes, only the Four Emperors are somewhat to be feared.

As for figures like the Three Calamities and the General Star, they were completely disregarded.

He has the ability, the confidence, and this inexplicable self-assurance.

call out! ! !

Seeing that Doberman agreed, a major general immediately drew his sword, stood up, and swung it at Hermes and his group from a distance, creating a slash that was wrapped in Armament Haki, with a fierce and menacing aura.

As the saying goes, "One is influenced by one's company," and the Iron-Blooded Faction is indeed that fierce, embodying the meaning of courage and arrogance from top to bottom.

The air pressure rolled it up.

Guyram's right hand was covered in Armament Haki. He grabbed the slashing weapon, forcibly compressed it into a cube, and then obliterated it. He then continued eating his takoyaki with a blank expression.

so easy.

He unintentionally showed off.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie~"

Hermes, gnawing on the meat leg, suddenly felt displeased.

I can't even eat a meal in peace. Am I just naturally prone to attracting bad luck?

These sailors are even more thuggish than bandits. They attacked without saying a word. They're so arrogant, acting like they're the most important people in the world and don't care about their own family.

Oh shit.

Behold Lao Tzu's Soul Transfer Technique.

Hermes' eyes narrowed slightly, his Observation Haki coalescing into a line that forcefully entered the mind of the major general who had taken action. This stirred up feelings of sadness and continuously affected the general's mind and thinking. The major general visibly began to lose his composure, as if he had gone mad and lost all hope of living. He then placed the knife to his neck and began to slit it.

"Yepland, what are you doing?"

A major general nearby quickly grabbed Yepelan's hand and shouted, bringing Yepelan back to his senses.

"What's wrong with me?"

To restore one's mind.

Yeppelin felt a chill run down his spine; was he about to commit suicide?

"It seems that it is somewhat difficult to influence people with strong wills."

Hermes was somewhat disappointed to see that the major general had regained consciousness so easily. The Soul Transfer Technique was just a manipulation of emotions and Observation Haki, and it had no effect on people with such strong wills.

Only when the opponent is weak and exhausted can one be absolutely certain of success.

Otherwise, it could be a surprise attack like just now, but it would quickly regain its senses under external interference. Overall, this ability is somewhat useless, perhaps because it is not powerful enough.

"It can actually affect my mind and emotions."

Yeperan looked at Hermes with a serious expression. He had just made eye contact with her and felt as if he had fallen into a whirlpool and then sank into a daze, not knowing what had happened. When he came to his senses, he found that he had committed suicide.

Evil door.

"Do it!"

A major general roared in a low voice, then disappeared from the spot.
