The most courageous pirate hunter

The residence of the Five Elders, the highest authority in the world, and the location of the World Government. Kings of the member states of the World Government come here every five years to hold a World Conference. The residents here are the world's nobles (Celestial Dragons).

Pangu City.

among the flowers.

deep.

In a dimly lit, spacious hall, on the cold, smooth floor, the Five Elders, the highest authorities in the world today, were kneeling and prostrating themselves.

The five heads were pressed tightly to the ground, their breathing low and their foreheads covered in cold sweat.

In front of the five people was a high platform with steps leading up to it. Along the way, there was a sword mound filled with various swords, spears, and halberds. On the next step, on the high platform, there was an empty throne.

If this image were to get out, the world would surely be turned upside down again.

Who would have thought that the Five Elders, who are the most powerful figures in the public eye, would kneel on the ground in such a humble and fearful manner? This undoubtedly shows that there is an even more terrifying existence above them.

There is someone else who truly controls the world government and the world.

Boom boom boom! ! !

Suddenly, a series of footsteps echoed through the oppressive and quiet hall. A figure appeared out of nowhere, carrying a dagger and a newspaper, and ascended the red steps, finally settling down on the Void Throne.

At that moment, even the light seemed to dim.

Immediately following was a whooshing sound, and the dagger, carrying a news report, was stuck in front of the Five Elders. The ground, as hard as iron, felt like paper, causing the Five Elders to tremble involuntarily.

"Hermes Jormungandr has become a threat to the World Government. Eliminate him!"

"Turn off the lights!"

A supreme voice, whose gender was indistinguishable, echoed in the air.

"Yes!"

The five elders spoke in unison, then rose shakily, drew their daggers and newspapers, while the throne was no longer occupied.

After leaving the palace.

The bald Five Elders looked at the newspaper in their hands. It showed Hermes' handsome figure, but his heart was pierced by a dagger. This dog who was disrupting the order could not be allowed to run rampant any longer.

Time rewinds once again.

On an island near the Sabaody Archipelago, Lucci and his companions were waiting for Hermes and Bruno to return. Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long, as Hermes soon returned after blowing up Marineford.

"BOSS."

"how's it going?"

"Did they blow up Marineford?"

Hody Jones wholeheartedly agreed, after all, he had suffered quite a few losses in Impel Down these past few months, all thanks to Sengoku's double-crossing.

"It won't be long before the news reports it."

After Hermes finished answering, he frowned and gazed into the depths of the island.

"Hahaha~"

"Guyram's old captain has woken up, but he's not in a good mood and is very unhappy that Guyram betrayed him and joined us."

“Guyram said he could handle it himself and didn’t want us to get involved.”

When Burgess and Mansherry saw Hermes looking into the depths of the island, they gave a brief and concise explanation.

The people present all felt that Guyram's former employer was very unreasonable, almost fighting with them as soon as he woke up, and flying into a rage when he learned that Guyram had betrayed him.

Finally, after Guyram's persuasion, that guy called World Destroyer Bondi Wald went to the side with Guyram to settle things.

If it weren't for Guyram's sake, the group would have already swarmed him and taught him a lesson.

Don't think that just because they're old relics from decades ago, they can act arrogantly in front of them. Now it's the world of young people. Meanwhile, Bages and the others also learned from Lucci what Hermes had been doing these past few months.

They could only say that he was indeed the head of the Imperial Organization; his volatile temper suited their tastes perfectly, and this was exactly how they should retaliate against the Navy.

However, the subsequent announcement of the Six Styles and Overpower was too hasty, especially the Ancient Weapon Hades, which was incredibly careless. Wouldn't it have been better to keep it for ourselves?

If they had Hades, wouldn't their Monarchy organization take off from the spot?

Hermes doesn't seem to have any mental issues normally, so why does he always mess things up at crucial moments?

Hordy Jones and his group were heartbroken.

What kind of spendthrift son did they end up with?

"They're almost beaten to death!"

Hermes rolled his eyes. In his Observation Haki, Gayram was being beaten up one-sidedly, like an idiot not fighting back. He couldn't stand it.

As the saying goes, "a new emperor brings a new court," and Guylam is now his henchman. He's the one who can beat and scold anyone; outsiders, not even his former employer, have no right to do so.

Silently.

Hermes' figure faded.

"Let's follow them and see if Guyram has really been killed."

"The BOSS doesn't look too good."

"Isn't that obvious? If you were the boss, would you tolerate your men getting beaten up?"

"I absolutely can't tolerate this. Hitting my little brother is like slapping me in the face."

"That's it."

The group disappeared one after another, leaving only Lucci and Bruno in the same spot.

"He really blew up Marineford?"

Lucci looked at Bruno, his cold face full of seriousness.

"The news should be out soon; we've probably been following a freak!"

Bruno nodded, recalling the giant mushroom; Marineford would eventually be razed to the ground.

All I can say is, wow, my Emperor!

boom! ! !

Deep in the island.

A tall figure was unilaterally beating Guyram, while Guyram stood on the ground passively enduring the blows, neither dodging nor defending himself.

His face is now covered in blood, and he looks as disheveled as can be.

He looks very masculine.

"Guyram, you betrayed me."

Wald's fists were clenched, covered in Guy Rum's blood, and he was furious.

It was the betrayal of these people that led to his being assassinated by the World Government's intelligence organization, CHIPAR POL. They deceived him and betrayed his trust.

"Cough cough cough... Captain Bondi, we were also deceived by the World Government."

"First mate Binjak, Sebastian, and Najenda are all waiting for your return. We want to break into Impel Down and rescue you every moment, but we simply cannot do it with our own strength."

Guyram lay on the ground, bruised and battered, struggling to his feet to stare at Wald without a trace of remorse in his eyes, for he had not betrayed Wald, but had been deceived.

"Shut up."

"If you didn't betray them, why did you join this damned Emperor Organization?"

Wald punched Guyram again, and with a tooth and blood spurting out, Guyram's right cheek swelled up, and even his eyes began to turn bloodshot.

"You bunch of traitors."

Wald seemed to have lost his mind, completely ignoring Guyram's words. He clenched his fist, wanting to kill Guyram. No one can tolerate betrayal from someone they trust.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

crucial moment.

Hermes appeared in front of Guyram, blocking Wald's fist with one hand. His body was engulfed in purple-white flames, and his face was extremely grim. "The Imperial Organization is no joke. Guyram is now my subordinate. You're beating him like this. You're simply not taking me seriously."

"You get out of my way too, you useless piece of trash. You've already done more than enough by rescuing him from Impel Down. You don't owe him anything anymore. You won't let go even when you're being beaten. Are you an idiot?"

Hermes forced Wald back and kicked Guyram away, sending him flying right in front of Bages and the others who had arrived.

He was really unhappy.

It's none of anyone else's business to teach my henchmen a lesson.

Chapter 178 [He actually cultivated secretly without their knowledge]

"Someone actually wants that useless thing, Guyram?"

Wald looked down at Hermes with a mocking expression and a surge of anger.

That despicable guy not only betrayed me once, but he betrayed me a second time. It seems that this person in front of me used force to threaten me.

It can only be said that Guyram is really a piece of trash, that he was actually defeated by an unknown guy and even submitted to him.

“Old man, Guyram rescued you from Impel Down, which means we’ve settled all our past grievances. Whether it was kindness or hatred, it’s all gone.”
