The most courageous pirate hunter

"Lord Kaido."

Black Maria rolled her eyes at Runti. How could Lord Kaido be so fragile? She didn't believe that Kaido would go insane or become stupid.

Sure enough, Kaido burst into laughter after a short while.

The same familiar laughter, the same familiar taste.

"Find me the King of Hunters."

Kaido exuded a murderous aura; he would not rest in peace until this humiliation was washed away.

"Governor, can you tell me how you lost?"

This is something that not only all the Beast Pirates want to know, but the whole world wants to know.

It's just too bizarre.

"Being caught off guard, they were ambushed by the King of Hunters and his two henchmen."

Kaido's face darkened at the thought.

Those beasts have no sense of martial ethics.

"I told you I used underhanded methods!"

"We all guessed it. In a one-on-one fight, no one can defeat Lord Kaido."

"Is he a fighting champion and a Rubik's Cube user?"

"Oro ro ro ro~"

"Go and find the whereabouts of the King of Hunters."

"Yes!"

The whole cake island is also witnessing a similar tale of searching for Hermes.

For the next period of time.

The Vegeta Sea incident continues to escalate. Although Monarch suffered a major setback this time, its main leader, Hunter King, successfully escaped and will surely retaliate against the Navy.

Therefore, many forces and individuals are looking forward to it.

It took five months.

In a naval fortress in the New World, Hermes gazed at the heavily guarded, fortress-like structure; what he needed was right there.

Over the course of five months, he made numerous inquiries and infiltrated various naval branch fortresses, finally finding some clues.

Five months. Do you know how he spent those five months?

They endured wind and rain, sleeping outdoors and exposed to the elements.

Even the most basic foot massage service and the opportunity to save troubled girls are gone. Do you know how much his conscience is deliberately preventing him from doing so? All of this is thanks to the Navy.

Oh shit.

I get angrier the more I think about it, and my kidneys are hurting.

It has shrunk by four millimeters.

Hermes infiltrated the fortress silently, as if it were an empty place. From both the outside and the inside, it was a steel research fortress, guarded by two lieutenant generals.

But it posed no threat to Hermes.

It didn't take long.

Hermes arrived at the most important part of the fortress, which was easy to spot; a quick scan with Observation Haki would reveal it. Currently, there was no one in the fortress with stronger Observation Haki than him.

The reason Vegeta was successfully ambushed by Garp and Sakazuki was entirely due to their excellent Observation Haki, which allowed them to conceal themselves effectively, though Hermes was unable to detect them.

Like Armament Haki, Observation Haki can also be neutralized. It can be used for reconnaissance, and by covering oneself with Observation Haki, one can hide one's aura or scent.

Abilities are static, but people are dynamic; it all depends on how you use them!

"That's it, that's the thing."

They easily arrived at the place where the Power Rocks were stored. All the Power Rocks were stored in special containers, neatly arranged like a honeycomb. Each one was similar to a transparent tea bottle, with a pinkish-purple liquid flowing inside, and a torn semi-circular core in the center.

It was clearly beyond Hermes' comprehension.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you know how to use it.

Look around.

At most, there are only fifty Power Rocks. What can that do? There should be other storage facilities. Shrink all the Power Rocks and put them away. Hermes continued his search.

really.

There were not just one, but five storage depots in this island fortress. Hermes looted them all, obtaining 250 Power Rocks, enough to blow Marineford to smithereens.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

"Let's start with this island and test the power of Dynamic Rock."

With so many items, they can be easily taken away after shrinking their size using their abilities, making them an essential skill for robbery and plunder.

Upon arriving outside the fortress, Hermes soared into the sky, descending beneath the clouds to survey the entire island. He then retrieved a miniature power rock, which not only restored the rock to its original form but also enlarged it a hundredfold.

For an instant.

The power rock, about the size of a teapot, resembled a small shooting star, streaking across a graceful trajectory before landing in the very center of the fortress.

About three minutes later.

A massive mushroom cloud rose slowly, and a terrifying heatwave swept through, rapidly disintegrating the steel fortress. Large numbers of naval personnel vanished in the explosion without even a scream.

Chapter 149 [Jormungandr: An Enemy of the World]

"You didn't disappoint me."

Hermes' expression changed slightly, and his figure quickly rose higher. The power of this kinetic rock was not small. Although it was not as exaggerated as the "little boy" in his previous life, its destructive power was still considerable.

With the added benefit of mini fruits, the effect is amazing.

In the original story, Zephyr destroyed an island by pre-installing numerous kinetic rocks, which then exploded together, triggering a volcanic eruption that completely destroyed the island. Now, with Hermes' amplification ability, the power of a single kinetic rock would far exceed that of a normal kinetic rock.

When Hermes ate the Devil Fruit, he already knew he was a walking bomb, but he just hadn't put it into action yet.

I never expected that my first assignment would be to the Navy.

My long-held integrity has finally been fulfilled.

He pulled out another Power Rock. This time, Hermes didn't grow bigger. As it landed, there was another huge explosion, barely forming a mushroom cloud. However, compared to that giant mushroom, it looked much smaller and cuter.

"Die, all of you!"

After testing the power of the dynamic rocks, Hermes threw down several more, each magnified a hundredfold.

One giant mushroom after another rose up, and the entire island gradually disappeared into the firelight.

Hermes recorded all of this.

He wanted the whole world to see his revenge, and to make the navy live in fear day and night.

Anyone who dares to play dirty tricks on me really doesn't know how many kidneys he has, how stubborn he is, or how tough he is!

"Bulu Bulu~"

"My ancestors, we've been waiting for you day and night, and you've finally arrived!"

a long distance away.

Farage, who was at the headquarters of the World Economic Society, was so excited that he could hardly contain himself as soon as he answered the Den Den Mushi. He reached his climax before it even started, simply because the person calling was his benefactor, his ancestor, who was more important than his parents.

Her fawning voice and expression drew disdain and contempt from some colleagues outside the office.

Fallaci.

He is now a minister at the World Economic News Agency. He rose from a lowly reporter to a minister simply by seizing a few big news stories, which has made many people envious.

Even the president, Morgans, personally received Fallaci, a unique honor.

"Ferrari, same old rule, I need to see the news first thing tomorrow morning."

"Sir, my name is Fallaci."

Ferrari was somewhat exasperated. This man always called him by the wrong name, making him sometimes think he was called Ferrari. But whatever the man wanted to call him, he could.

He firmly believed it.

As long as you hold onto this man tightly, he will surely get a promotion, a raise, marry a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reach the pinnacle of success.

This man has never disappointed him; every time he does something earth-shattering, he dominates the trending topics for years, making him a true traffic star.

He felt he had found the key to wealth.

"Sir, what big news have you stirred up this time?"

Fallaci is looking forward to it.

This was the first time the other party had contacted him in five months.

Five months ago, after the entire Emperor organization was wiped out except for this man, he completely disappeared without a trace. But he always believed in his judgment and experience, and that this man would definitely cause trouble again.
