The most courageous pirate hunter

He had met Kaido.

That's how you know how difficult they are to deal with. Even your father wouldn't dare say he's absolutely certain of defeating them every time. So what makes this King of Hunters so special?

Not only did they defeat Kaido, but most importantly, they also captured him.

He must have used some insidious means, which is quite unconventional for him.

"Hehehe~"

"Our goal now is to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Let's hurry up and eat so we can leave. There's a very troublesome man behind us..."

Vegeta Island.

It is a pristine island rich in natural resources and extremely abundant.

Many of the animals mentioned above are extinct.

However, due to the extremely harsh and unpredictable weather, it is unsuitable for human habitation; otherwise, this place would surely have become a very prosperous place.

Time flies, and the day for handover with the navy has arrived.

The seas have been anything but calm these past few days, with the names of Monarch, Hermes, and Kaido practically dominating the headlines. Just as Hermes had predicted, this advertising campaign has been a resounding success.

I don't know how many people call to inquire every day.

Mansherry was extremely busy, but most of the calls were inquiring whether Kaido had really been captured, or were either insults or inquiries about whether the Monarchy organization was recruiting.

It seems there are trolls in every world.

Strangely, no one placed an order, and even if they did, it was only for less than a billion. The Emperor Organization has positioned itself as a high-end service provider from the beginning, so it has rejected all such requests.

"Boss, we're almost at Vegeta Island!"

On the horizon.

Burgess jumped down from the observation deck, put down his binoculars, and could already see the face of Vegeta Island. He was about to receive over 90 billion, which was quite exciting to think about.

This must be their biggest job to date.

Both its reputation and advertising have been very successful.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Standing on the ship's railing, Mansherry noticed that Hermes next to her had a furrowed brow, as if he were wondering about something, and wasn't as happy as she had expected. The others also noticed this.

Some things don't fit this man's public image.

"just in case."

"I mean, in case the Navy double-crosses us, and we have no chance of winning, I will abandon you and run away immediately." Hermes turned to look at everyone, his expression serious, and continued, "But don't worry, even if we are captured by the Navy, I can rescue you, even in Impel Down, the world's largest prison."

Hody Jones and the others were taken aback.

Their expressions were all different.

"Boss, the Navy wouldn't be so shameless, would they?"

"That's the righteous navy."

"Haven't you had enough of being beaten down by society? What is integrity? What is justice? Those are things only the strong have the right to talk about. I'm just telling you this in advance, just in case."

"When the time comes, you all escape separately. As long as one person escapes, there will be a way. We absolutely cannot let the whole group be wiped out."

Hermes' Observation Haki had already spread out, but on Vegeta Island he sensed a powerful aura, which should be a Marine Admiral, as well as several other auras, which should be Vice Admirals or Rear Admirals.

The other party showed no intention of hiding anything.

"we know!"

None of them were idiots, nor were they pretentious.

"Let's go to the island then! Be careful."

at the same time.

On Vegeta Island, a number of people are hiding in the temporary naval camp.

"coming!"

"This Observation Haki..."

Garp was eating a donut when he noticed that the Observation Haki he had just sensed was a bit off; it didn't seem like normal Observation Haki. However, the other party probably hadn't noticed.

"Humph!"

"A mere King of Hunters, and he wants me to hide away in such a humiliating way? I wonder what Marshal Sengoku is thinking!"

On the sofa opposite Garp, a resolute man dressed in a dark red suit, wearing a navy hat and a Justice Coat, smoking a cigar, spoke with a slightly gloomy expression.

It was none other than the dedicated and hard-working Iron-Blooded Brother, one of the three generals, Sakazuki.

He was initially unwilling to be transferred here. For the sake of a mere Hunter King who had captured Kaido by some unknown means, he, Kuzan, Garp, and numerous vice admirals were required to be mobilized.

If this lineup were to take down the Four Emperors, they would be able to defeat them all in one go.

Now they're doing this for a mere Hunter King? What is the Marine Headquarters thinking? Are they overestimating their opponent?

"It's not just for the King of Hunters, the main reason is to guard against the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates."

Kuzan sat down next to Garp and glanced up at Sakazuki.

All around.

Gion, Kake, Onigumo, and the others stood or sat, all following instructions and waiting.

If it were merely the King of Hunters, it wouldn't be enough for the Navy to act so aggressively. They simply want to see if there's an opportunity to wipe out Big Mom and the Beasts Pirates all at once.

This is the most important thing.

"If these two pirate crews dare to come, Impel Down will be their final resting place."

Sakazuki's eyes were filled with coldness as he eagerly awaited the arrival of the two pirate crews, especially Big Mom herself, so that they could take down both Yonko in one fell swoop.

This trash should not exist in the ocean.

soon.

Hermes also landed on the island. His Observation Haki covered the entire coastline, but he didn't find any ambushes. The island still had the same atmosphere.

She was quite confident in her Observation Haki, which is why she was so bold.

However, Hermes did not venture any further and simply stood there waiting.

A short while later, a group of naval soldiers approached. Hermes narrowed his eyes at the person in the lead, truly not expecting to meet him here.

When I first started out, this man almost sent me to my death.

"Hermes Jormungandr, the King of Hunters".

The leader, Kuzan, scanned Hermes, Bages, and the others up and down.

Gion, Onigumo, and the others behind him remained silent.

Both sides are observing.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Hermes glanced meaningfully at Kuzan and greeted him.

This made Kuzan frown.

Had she seen this man before? She didn't seem to remember him, but the hostility and amusement in his eyes were unmistakable, even surprising Gion and the others.

how?

What grudge do these two have against each other?

"I almost died at your hands."

Seeing that Kuzan didn't remember, Hermes shrugged and reminded him, then asked expressionlessly, "Did you bring the money?"

"Do it."

A sharp voice suddenly rang out.

Gion, Onigumo, and the others had already drawn their weapons, and Kuzan immediately crouched down, his right hand touching the ground.

"Ice Age."

Absolute zero erupted, and an overwhelming chill swept over Hermes and his companions, freezing everything in its path, even the turbulent sea.

This was an attempt to block all roads, leaving Hermes and his companions with nowhere to escape.

"Damn it, you're a double-crosser in the Warring States period."

"withdraw!"

Hermes's eyes widened in horror. The moment Kuzan made his move, two terrifying auras erupted from the temporary camp, and he felt a great threat from one of them.

Without the slightest hesitation, Hermes roared.

Bages, Guyram, and the others were also horrified. Without thinking, they turned and ran in different directions. At the same time, Gion and the others also disappeared.
