The most courageous pirate hunter

The higher you go, the thinner the air becomes.

Climbing this continent is no easy feat for just anyone.

After spending some time, Hermes looked at the desolate, barren red earthen mountaintop before him, which resembled a desert, with some doubt and uncertainty.

Desolate and vast.

There were no plants on it, and nothing else but the sound of howling wind.

An ordinary person who suddenly arrives here might fall into a coma due to lack of oxygen.

Hermes looked around and could vaguely see some watchtowers in the far distance, which he assumed were people sent by the World Government.

However, the Red Line is too vast and desolate, so the two watchtowers are quite far apart.

Hermes crouched down, looking at the soil and rocks that were somewhat unusual, and reached out to touch them, finding them to be much firmer than ordinary soil.

It's possible that the density was too high, which is why many plants couldn't survive, and the altitude was also too high.

It's difficult to see the sea from here unless the clouds change.

If you poke your finger into the ground, you can clearly feel a slight resistance.

It seems that many One Piece fans speculate that a large number of Devil Fruits or gold and silver treasures may be buried on the Red Line.

It is possible that the three ancient weapons are also buried on the red earth continent.

There are even speculations that the final island, Laugh Tale, is located somewhere on the Red Line, and that one can enter its inner dimension via the sea.

Some netizens have also suggested that the truth about Devil Fruits lies within the Red Line, such as the fictitious Devil Fruit Tree.

Some even speculate that the D clan's stronghold is located within the Red Line...

In short, all sorts of speculations are quite far-fetched, but regardless of whether these speculations are right or wrong, it is generally accepted that the Red Line definitely holds a secret.

"I'll come and explore when I have time."

Hermes rose and looked out at the endless red Gobi Desert, not intending to verify anything, and quickly disappeared in a chosen direction.

Chambord Islands.

Located in front of the Red Line in the middle of the Grand Line, the island is made up of many large trees, and the ground is the tree roots, from which bubbles rise.

Pirates must pass through here to reach the New World before coating their ships and heading to Fishman Island. Because it's not far from Marine Headquarters, the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles, often come here for a stroll.

Although it is very close to the Marine Headquarters, it is extremely chaotic. Killing, robbery, and human trafficking are common occurrences. If you are lucky, you can catch a glimpse of all sorts of monsters and hidden big shots. It is a veritable mixed bag.

"It's finally here."

After traveling at a leisurely pace, Hermes spent ten days reaching the island.

Old rules.

First, go to a dragon boat.

I wonder what the service is like in the Sabaody Archipelago. As a world-famous island, it can't be too bad, and there must be a red-light district.

However, you need to buy an island guide first, as it seems the Sabaody Archipelago is divided into several areas.

After such a long and tiring journey, I can finally enjoy a good rest.

Hermes's Observation Haki told him that he could reach the town by crossing this outskirts, but the next second his expression turned strange.

A short while later, a group of people came towards them.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

"I never expected to run into this woman here."

Hermes watched with great interest as the procession drew closer. The woman at the head of the procession had long, jet-black hair styled in a Hime cut, a smooth, slightly wide forehead, and deep blue eyes that resembled amber.

Her eyes were long and delicate, with a hint of indifference in her almond-shaped eyes. Her nose was high and small, and her lips were soft without a single wrinkle.

She also wore a pair of snake-shaped gold earrings and a cheongsam-style dress, which accentuated her tall and curvaceous figure.

Riding on a flashy python.

What's most bizarre is that this woman exudes a kind of allure, like a poppy that's irresistible. To describe her as merely beautiful pales in comparison; she's simply naturally beautiful, a beauty that could topple kingdoms, someone to be admired from afar but never to be touched.

She is undoubtedly the most beautiful, most perfect, and most sexy woman in the world!

She can make everything else pale in comparison, because she herself is the brightest star in the universe.

The most beautiful woman in the world.

One of the current Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress.

"Sister, shall we go to the new world now?"

"I heard that Hermes Jormungandr, the King of Hunters, not only destroyed the G-20 naval fortress, but also calmly left after a battle with Admiral Akainu."

Sandasonia, the second oldest of the three sisters, looked somewhat solemn.

They left Amazon Lily and came here after receiving a mandatory mission from the Navy. The reason they came to Sabaody Archipelago was because the older sister wanted to see Shaoqi and talk about some things.

Then they were to travel to the New World to capture the Hunter King.

"If I can capture the Hunter King, I will be able to negotiate with the Navy more effectively in the future, so we must capture him."

When Hancock was dealing with Sandersonia, she didn't arrogantly raise her head and look down at her.

"But the navy has no integrity. If they hadn't betrayed the Hunter King, so many fortresses wouldn't have been destroyed, and they wouldn't have forced my sister to take action."

The youngest of the three sisters, Marigold, spoke.

This deal between the Navy and Imperial has caused a huge uproar, demonstrating to the world the Navy's lack of commitment and significantly damaging its credibility.

Chapter 158 [Are you getting too cocky in front of me, Emperor He? (+5 for becoming the leader of the Cute Emperor Organization)]

"A gaze that I find utterly repulsive."

Just as Hancock was about to answer Marigold, she suddenly felt a gaze, extremely aggressive, as if it wanted to strip her naked. She could feel this gaze even from several streets away.

No woman likes that kind of look.

Very rude.

It makes people extremely uncomfortable.

Although she was used to such looks, what could she do when she was the world's most beautiful woman?

Marigold and Sandasonia also saw Hermes, but the two women felt that they had seen him somewhere before, but they couldn't remember where they had seen him at the crucial moment.

"He's just a foolish man, sister, let's go!"

Sandasonia frowned. What was wrong with this man? He kept staring at her sister, his gaze almost glued to her, and it was a condescending scrutiny.

Like those swine on the holy land.

"Humph!"

Hancock snorted coldly, her eyes widening slightly, and her Conqueror's Haki surged towards Hermes. It was already a mercy of her not to kill such a detestable man.

Huh! ! !

Under normal circumstances, this man should have collapsed.

But instead of fainting, the other person looked at her even more brazenly.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie~"

"Is this a common problem with people who have a domineering personality? They just come up and give you a good beating. Look at how capable you are."

Hermes's white, tousled hair fluttered, and his red-and-white eyes narrowed slightly. He was very displeased with Hancock's behavior. If he were an ordinary person, he would at best lose control of his bladder and faint, and after waking up, he might be traumatized and develop a mental illness. In severe cases, he might even become an idiot after waking up.

He just glanced at it a few more times, didn't he?

You don't think he's a simp, that he can't walk past a woman, do you?

What a joke.

He Huang, having come out into the world, would never hang himself on one tree. He's a free spirit with a whole ocean of lovers, and he's always been driven by lust, not by love. He's not the kind of vulgar man who thinks with his lower body.

Women will only slow down his career.

"You actually managed to resist my domineering aura."

"He seems to be no ordinary person, but he's very impolite."

Hancock was somewhat surprised, but quickly raised her chin haughtily; no one could resist her beauty.

and many more.

Sandasonia, standing to the side, felt increasingly familiar with the man before her. When her gaze fell upon Hermes' neck, especially the crimson spider lilies, she seemed to remember something, pulled out a newspaper, and then her expression changed drastically.

“Sister, he is Hermes Jormungandr, the King of Hunters.”

Compare this with the news report.

Can't go wrong.

That is the Hunter King they are preparing to defeat.
