The most courageous pirate hunter

"Don't talk nonsense."

"We didn't provoke that guy."

"The Chain Pirates didn't provoke them, but now even their leader has been taken down."

"That guy is a pirate hunter who specializes in exchanging our heads for bounties."

"Hmph! The captain is not as weak as Joa and the chained man. If that brat dares to come, we don't even need to lift a finger. The captain can handle it all by himself."

With a pirate's inexplicable confidence, firmly believing that their captain was different, Cocos, who appeared calm on the surface, felt a sudden twitch in his heart.

He had fought against Qiao Ya and the Chain Man many times and knew how skilled they were. He could seriously injure them, but killing them was impossible; even if he could kill them, he would be crippled.

So that pirate hunter is no ordinary person.

His secret weapon, Cocos, is his caution.

Currently, his head is the most valuable thing in the entire town of Myoto. If that pirate hunter is short of money, he will definitely target him.

Grass.

I was just at home, and suddenly I was being targeted for no reason?

"Call back the brothers who are out there. Keep quiet for now and don't provoke that pirate hunter. Let's take down the remnants of the Chain Pirates first."

Cocos chose to keep a low profile; if that kid really set his sights on him, he wouldn't back down.

"Yes."

The pirates nodded, then assembled their crew to begin absorbing the remnants of the Chain Pirates.

Here.

Hermes, carrying his spoils, returned to the small clinic.

"Young man, what's going on...?"

The doctor, who was sitting in the clinic reading a magazine, was stunned when Hermes, covered in blood, pushed open the door and walked in.

He also remembered Hermes.

The memory is too vivid.

The other party had just come to him for treatment a week ago, and under normal circumstances, he should still have some difficulty moving around, but judging from the situation, it seems that they had another fight.

"Heal him!"

He casually tossed the blood-stained package on the ground and stripped down to his underwear.

Some old wounds have reopened, and some new wounds have skin and flesh turned outwards, especially the abnormal chest area, where it is obvious that many bones are broken.

My body had been tense before, so the pain wasn't too bad.

Now, if you relax even a little, the soreness is amplified infinitely.

"Are you out here again, trying to earn a living and get rich?"

With practiced ease, the doctor took out a series of medical tools and began to treat Hermes' wounds.

I couldn't help but marvel at how lucky this guy was.

"I guess so, I made a decent profit."

Hermes tried to relax his body as much as possible, with veins bulging on his neck and muscles twitching from the pain. He still didn't have anesthesia and had to rely on one hand to hold on.

"Bear with it."

The doctor began setting Hermes' bones; there was a lot to do.

after an hour.

Hermes' upper body was almost entirely covered in bandages. The doctor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a sense of accomplishment, especially since the Beli in his hand smelled particularly good.

This guy is his wealthy patron.

"Young man, for the sake of your life, I suggest you take a good rest during this period."

Thank you for your suggestion.

Hermes waved his hand, leaving the doctor with only a dashing, unrestrained silhouette.

Chapter 16 [Basic Operations of Novels]

Afternoon weather.

clear.

The weather was fine and sunny, with a gentle breeze occasionally brushing against our faces.

In a second-floor open-air café, Hermes sat on the balcony leisurely sipping coffee. The bandages on his body had been removed, and his injuries had almost completely healed.

It has been a month since the last time I managed to take down the Chainman by taking advantage of a bargain.

Compared to his utter vulnerability when he first transmigrated, Hermes is now a respectable man, and he has fully absorbed the experience of that life-or-death battle.

He also didn't neglect his usual basic training and fruit development.

Leaving the beginner village and becoming the king is just around the corner.

Now that Plan A has been completed, it's time to head to the capital and try Plan B. I need to find a way to learn some skills; relying solely on finger-gun skills to navigate the world is too monotonous.

Furthermore, developing Devil Fruit abilities is more difficult than imagined.

No wonder some of the ability users in the original work used their abilities so poorly. It's probably not that they didn't have ideas, but that the process takes time. It's impossible to develop an idea today and succeed tomorrow.

Just like conducting an experiment, you need to constantly correct mistakes, experiment, and innovate. Power is not so easy to obtain; otherwise, why are there so few strong people and so many ordinary people in the world?

Opportunity, talent, and willpower are all indispensable.

"These leisurely days are perfect for lying down."

Hermes enjoyed this leisurely life. If he had no ambition, he could have lived a carefree life in a remote town. Unfortunately, Hermes was not that kind of person.

He is free.

Hermes downed his coffee in one gulp, then got up and headed downstairs.

Besides coffee, this coffee shop also sells a variety of snacks, such as fried chicken combos, which are very popular with some of the local children.

So the first floor is very lively.

Coincidentally.

Just as Hermes opened the door to leave, the door was suddenly flung open from the outside, and seven or eight fierce-looking pirates burst in, instantly silencing the somewhat noisy hall.

This development.

This plot.

This is the usual tactic.

The basic operation of writing a novel.

Being the main character often makes you a target of criticism, so why do side stories come along?

This script looks very familiar!

"Kid, get out of here."

Just as Hermes had expected, the leader, a three-meter-tall giant wielding a large cleaver and looking fierce, reached out to shove Hermes aside, completely disregarding him.

this....

Hermes' expression was somewhat strange, but his body remained motionless like a nail driven into the ground, which surprised the pirates.

"Take your claws off."

No sooner had Hermes finished speaking than a pistol was pressed against his temple. It was another pirate with a pistol, who drew his gun and aimed it with practiced ease.

puff! ! !

Before the pirate could even speak, a bloody hole appeared in his kidney area, oozing blood. He made a few gurgling sounds, his eyes wide with fear.

"I hate having a gun pointed at me."

Hermes casually flicked away the non-existent blood and coldly stared at the group of pirates.

"Damn it."

"How did Hal die?"

"It's this brat."

"You're asking for death! We're the Twin Wheel Pirates!"

"Kill him."

The group of pirates realized what was happening and were filled with rage.

They came to collect protection money because the Dog Pirates and the Chain Pirates had been wiped out, so most of the town of Mayuto was under the rule of the Twin Wheel Pirates.

Their power once expanded several times over.

Therefore, the pirates under his command are extremely arrogant and domineering. The oppressed people dare not speak out and can only be threatened and extorted.
