The most courageous pirate hunter

Most importantly, Rob Lucci suited his taste perfectly, believing that weakness is a sin and having a thorough understanding of the rules that govern this world.

"I am not interested."

Lucci remained expressionless and flatly refused.

The man in front of me is a madman. Although he is an undercover agent in Water Seven, it doesn't mean he is unaware of the situation on the high seas. The news that caused a huge uproar some time ago is still trending on social media.

How foolish it is to be an enemy of the World Government.

"Don't refuse so decisively; you might change your mind later."

Hermes chuckled, then looked at Bruno. "Originally, my target was only you, but now I've changed my mind. Both of you will come with me. I'm not asking for your opinions, but rather informing you."

These words were blatantly arrogant, causing Lucci and Bruno's faces to darken, as well as Kaku who had moved closer.

"But I, Emperor He, believe in mutual consent. If you fight me and win, I will leave. If you lose, you will have to join the Emperor's Organization and follow me for ten years, or you can choose to die."

"The lives of all CP9 members are in your hands."

atmosphere.

A sense of oppression instantly settled down.

Without warning, Lucci made his move, cleanly and decisively without any hesitation.

"Point to the gun."

The air is torn apart.

The expected hit did not materialize, as one of his fingers was accurately blocked. Lucci felt as if his index finger was about to be torn apart, and his originally calm and composed face twitched slightly.

A strong gust of wind splashed everywhere.

Lu Qi jumped back to create distance, his expression somewhat uncertain.

Lucci was not surprised that his opponent was proficient in the Six Powers; it had been reported in the news before. Moreover, he was not blind; the Hunter King was currently in the state of Life Return.

He wanted to see whether his six techniques were stronger or his opponent's.

Visible to the naked eye.

Lucky's body began to change, and he entered his human-beast form, ready to go all out.

Bruno had also moved away long ago, standing with Kaku with a serious expression as they watched the impending battle. Regardless of the final outcome, the process was sure to be exciting.

I just don't know how long this battle will last.

"Finger gun·Huang Lian."

Lucci exploded beneath his feet, instantly appearing in front of Hermes and thrusting out a finger with several times the speed and power of before.

Unfortunately, Hermes did not play by the rules.

He was even prepared beforehand, and threw a straight punch at Lucci, who felt a chill run down his spine in an instant; the sense of death felt too real.

"AOE - King's Fist".

In an instant.

The dazzling light resembled a sun rising slowly.

A mushroom cloud began to rise.

The terrifying aura swept across the earth, obliterating everything. The docks and people were all vaporized, leaving only a large crater on the ground after everything dissipated.

"Cough cough cough~"

In a certain ruin.

Bruno and Kaku struggled to crawl out, bleeding from all seven orifices and barely clinging to life. If they hadn't used the iron block to block the impact, they might have been killed by the shockwave.

"How...how is it possible!"

Looking at the huge pit in front of them, both of their worldviews were turned upside down.

What destructive power this is!

Can Lucci withstand a head-on attack? Won't he get killed with a single punch?

Looking again at the figure standing above the crater, it was so imposing and terrifying that they could not possibly deal with it; the difference in their levels was like an insurmountable chasm.

"Cuckoo~"

At this moment, in the ruins of the ground that had been raised, Lucci was reduced to his original form, lying there covered in wounds, bleeding from all seven orifices and barely breathing, looking extremely miserable.

He was defeated with a single punch.

It was almost devastating.

This was not what he had imagined. How could he not even withstand a single punch? And who would use a powerful move right from the start? He felt his body was about to fall apart after just a slight struggle.

"Cuckoo!"

Hadori, who had followed Lucci since childhood, flew onto Lucci's shoulder, spread his wings, and stared fiercely at Hermes, showing great protectiveness towards his master.

correct.

Hadoli is a pigeon, and he's wearing a black tie.

It is a highly intelligent social pigeon that can understand human speech.

"Not bad, you can withstand one of my punches and still not die."

Hermes appeared before Lucci, ignoring Hadori, and was fairly satisfied with Lucci's performance.

The fact that Lucci could withstand one of his center punches at this time is enough to show that he has potential. It seems that Life Return and being a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user are still useful.

Lucci was speechless and could only stare at Hermes with bloodshot eyes.

"Lucci."

"Bruno, Kaku."

Three figures rushed over from a distance. When they saw the horrific scene, they all gasped in shock. Who was that man? The strongest man in CP9 was lying on the ground covered in blood like a dead dog.

"and many more."

“It can’t be!”

The lion trembled all over.

Kalifa and the owl were also startled; they both recognized Hermes.

"How could the King of Hunters be here?"

"damn it."

Before the three could react, they felt a blur before their eyes, and then Hermes appeared, gripping Lucci by the neck. The inexplicable danger made them freeze in place.

"Just in time."

Hermes completely ignored the lion and the owl, and instead focused his attention on Kalifa. There are many beautiful women in the pirate world, but Kalifa still has a place among them.

She had long, flowing blonde hair, wore a yellow top and a black mini skirt, her long, slender legs were encased in black stockings, and she wore high heels.

She's a quintessential mature woman in black stockings, incredibly alluring.

Unfortunately, Hermes was always driven by lust rather than love, and was very career-oriented.

"You two, start making your choices!"

Hermes did not rush to make a move, but instead looked at Lucci and Bruno.

These words left Kalifa and the other two somewhat bewildered.

After all, they had just arrived.

"I'll go with you, just let them go."

Bruno struggled to his feet. Since he was the target, as long as he agreed to leave with them, Kalifa and Kaku would be safe.

That punch just now shattered all his thoughts.

"It's not just you."

Hermes held up a finger and waved it, still showing great interest in Lucci.

“I’ll go with you, and I’ll let Bruno and the others go.”

Lu Qi remained silent for a moment before speaking very weakly.

With his ability to restore life and his status as a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, he possesses remarkable regenerative abilities and is now able to speak.

"Both of you are my targets. I'll give you three seconds to decide."

It's simple to talk to smart people. Both Lucci and Bruno are wise and have no last-ditch stubbornness. As weapons of the World Government, they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals; they are nothing short of killing machines.

The only people they care about are those around them.

Having these people under control is like having their lifeline in your grasp; I'm still not detached or cold-blooded enough.

Unlike him, He, who becomes ruthless and heartless in the world of crime, because having no attachments means having no weaknesses.
