The most courageous pirate hunter

Hermes set his sights on these two walking vaults.

night.

Dark clouds were gathering, and it looked like it was going to rain.

At the Chain Pirates' base, many pirates were busy. They had just set sail, fought and eliminated other pirate crews, and plundered a lot of gold and silver treasures.

Despite losing many people, the profits were still substantial compared to the spoils of war.

The only bad news was that Captain Chainman was injured, and the ship's doctor was cleaning and bandaging his wounds. Judging from his pale face, Chainman's injury was quite serious.

"Not bad luck, let's grab this bargain!"

The quiet room was filled with the stench of blood.

The sudden sound made the chainman and the ship's doctor's expressions change drastically. Not far from them, a figure had appeared on a chair at some point, lazily watching them with his legs crossed.

"Kill the brat from Joa."

Hermes Jormungandr.

The chained man had a bad feeling and immediately grabbed the weapon by the bedside—a long chain—while the ship's doctor also drew his pistol and became alert.

Those who are good will not come, and those who come will be unkind.

This kid is clearly targeting them.

I just didn't expect it to be so soon.

As always, Hermes was ruthless and taciturn. He grabbed the table and threw it out, his whole body following closely behind like a cannonball.

"boom!!!"

"There are enemies."

The ship's doctor fired immediately, while the chained man began summoning his men; he was now severely wounded and unfit for combat.

That kid was able to kill Joa, it was definitely not by chance.

Bang bang bang.

The table, pierced by a bullet, continued its trajectory toward the two men. The ship's doctor, positioned at the forefront, swung his hand, sending the table flying and shattering on the ground. However, the doctor himself also suffered a resounding crash.

"Point to the gun."

Once his vision cleared, a finger was plunged into his throat, and a feeling of suffocation spread through his soul.

Jingle Bell.

The chained man did not sit idly by. The chain in his hand was like a venomous snake, coiling towards Hermes with great cunning. However, Hermes shrank in the first instant, jumped to restore his size, and kicked out with a powerful force.

“Help…help me.”

The ship's doctor, clutching his bleeding throat with both hands, collapsed to the ground, his eyes gradually losing their color; there was no hope of saving him.

Bang bang bang~

A deafening roar erupted. Even though the chained man raised his hand to intercept, Hermes kicked him away, sending him crashing into the wall with a dull thud. His almost-bandaged wound burst open, quickly becoming stained crimson with blood.

Chapter 15 [Oh no, the captain's been killed!]

"damn it."

Before he could catch his breath, Hermes' attack followed closely behind.

In the nick of time, the chained man rolled to the ground, but he could only dodge once, not twice, as Hermes launched a new attack that stuck to him tightly.

puff! ! !

A bloody hole appeared in his shoulder; if he hadn't dodged quickly, his heart might have been pierced.

"You brat, you've gone too far."

"Despicable."

The chained man braved the raging storm, his wounds multiplying.

Hermes remained silent, focusing solely on his work and pushing himself to the limit.

"Spare me, I promise I won't cause you any trouble."

"I can give you all my treasures."

Under the relentless attacks, the chained man could no longer withstand them, and his initial curses and threats turned into begging for mercy.

This perfectly illustrates what it means for a true man to be stubborn and refuse to shed tears until he sees the coffin.

"Damn it, I'll drag you down with me even if I die."

The chained man went completely insane.

With a ferocious expression, it abandoned its defenses and ruthlessly tried to drag Hermes to the Western Paradise with it. Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a human.

Click.

Hermes' face turned pale as two of his ribs were broken by the chains, and the scabbed wound on his back began to tear open. His opponent was quite fierce when he fought desperately.

"How could I possibly die such a humiliating death? If it weren't for..."

With his heart pierced, the chained man coughed up blood and drooled as he stared at Hermes, collapsing to the ground in despair.

"Captain, what happened?"

"The enemy, where is the enemy?"

At that moment, the door was kicked open, and many pirate crews rushed in with weapons, but it was too late; their captain had already tried his best to hold on.

"It's that brat who killed Captain Joa."

"Hermes Jormungandr, the Pirate Hunter".

"captain."

"Oh no, the captain has been killed."

Looking at the messy room and the chained man and the ship's doctor lying in a pool of blood, many pirates were dumbfounded, and not one of them immediately fired a shot to seek revenge.

The surprise and the shock came too quickly.

"shot."

"Kill this brat."

Finally, someone realized what was happening.

They were the second and third in command of the Chain Pirates, and when they made their move, they had already planned out the carefree life they would lead after becoming the captain of the Chain Pirates.

shhhhhh!

Bullets flew everywhere, and Hermes shrank by five millimeters, repeatedly leaping around in the hail of bullets.

"what!!!"

A scream rang out from the crowd. Hermes shrank and quickly approached, then returned to his normal size, fired a finger gun, and shrank back away.

The pirates didn't even have time to react.

Pirates kept falling, but Hermes wasn't hurt at all. His ability to grow bigger and smaller was just too overpowered; often, the attack would come before the pirates even saw him.

"Damn it, what kind of ability is this?"

"How could something so small possibly hit it?"

Some pirates were considering retreating; their captain was already dead, and there was no need to lose their lives here.

"withdraw."

The second and third in command immediately ordered their trusted confidants to retreat, as they needed to preserve their strength to compete for the captain's position later.

Seeing the pirates retreat, Hermes did not pursue them.

They quickly disappeared into their base with their spoils.

soon.

News of the Chain Man's demise spread, and the name Hermes Jormungandr once again resounded throughout the town of Myoto, instilling fear in many pirate thugs.

If killing Captain Joa was due to luck, then how do you explain the death of the Chain Man?

"What? The Chain Store crew was also wiped out?"

At the Twin Wheel Pirates' camp, Captain Cocos wore a solemn expression.

First it was Josiah, then the Chained Man, and considering Hermes Jormungandr's profession, he's being targeted.

"Captain, we can confirm that the Chain Man has been killed. The Chain Pirates are now in chaos. Should we take this opportunity to recruit them?"

One of their subordinates suggested that the legacy left by the Dog Pirates had greatly strengthened their Twin Wheel Pirates. If they were to absorb the remnants of the Chain Pirates, they would be in control of the entire town of Myoto, and even within the entire Kingdom of Prodens, they would be among the top three.

"Captain, we may have been targeted by that pirate hunter."

Cocos's crew wasn't all hot-headed; there were some sensible ones too. Considering the deaths of Joa and the Chain Man, the only thing that pirate hunter would want was their captain's head.

This is very likely.
