The most courageous pirate hunter

"No wonder he talks big; he actually has some skill."

Wald narrowed his eyes, then increased his strength after speaking, but Hermes resisted fiercely.

"Jie Jie!"

Hermes did not speak, but merely grinned maliciously.

In a daze.

The two appeared on a mountaintop, but before they could see what was happening, the entire mountaintop exploded and disappeared, followed by occasional collision sounds from the sky and the ground.

"This speed!"

"It's too fast, I can't see it clearly!"

Outside the battlefield.

All that could be seen from Hody Jones were his afterimages, some of which remained in offensive and defensive stances such as uppercuts, knee strikes, and sweeping kicks, creating a still image.

Boom boom boom! ! !

Suddenly.

Hermes and Wald appeared on the ground, their knees colliding with each other, creating a huge explosion. The powerful force and impact spread, and blood began to trickle from the corners of their mouths.

Wald was covered in thick Armament Haki from head to toe. The fact that he dared to be so extravagant was enough to show how powerful Armament Haki was. He immediately clenched his fist and smashed it into Hermes' head. Because of the speed, it looked like he didn't move at all.

It doesn't feel real.

The attack failed.

Wald reacted immediately, twisting his waist to the side and narrowly avoiding Hermes' kick, showing that the two were evenly matched.

"That's it."

Wald leaned back slightly, his fists clenched, and he unleashed a barrage of punches at Hermes, like a meteor shower, with unprecedented speed and power.

Hermes was not intimidated either.

They clenched their fists and slammed them into Wald. In an instant, the earth shook and the ground beneath their feet tore and collapsed, eventually spreading to hundreds of meters, thousands of meters, and three thousand meters.

The hurricanes surged one after another.

From a distance, neither of them appeared to be moving; only their shoulders were swaying. Below their shoulders, everything had disappeared, which shows how fast they were moving—to a speed invisible to the naked eye.

puff! ! !

Hermes bent over and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Even with the enhancement of Observation Haki, he was blinded by the attack and failed to dodge. Fortunately, he had Vajra Indestructible and Armament Haki, so spitting out blood was not a big problem.

But he's not someone to be trifled with either.

Despite the pain, Hermes also delivered a powerful punch to Wald's abdomen, followed by the sound of Wald gagging. However, both were ruthless individuals, and after exchanging a glance, they gave up on dodging and decided to see whose fist was harder and whose defense was more robust.

You throw me an uppercut, I'll knee you in return.

Blood was splattering everywhere.

Hermes's purple-white aura grew increasingly intense, and Wald fought more and more fiercely. The two appeared and disappeared from time to time, and wherever they went, it was as if the ground had been ravaged by prehistoric beasts, causing the earth to crack or the mountains to collapse.

Rampage all the way.

Wald pressed Hermes' head down and raced across the ground, violently destroying all obstacles in his path. Hermes' face was covered in blood, and his red eyes were filled with ferocity.

He didn't struggle at all; his right hand was like a vibrator, constantly pounding on Wald's waist at a frequency that even the air couldn't withstand, causing it to buzz.

Gradually.

Wald began spewing debris from his mouth and nose, including some kidney fragments, as Hermes' attack was known for its internal damage.

Finally, Wald couldn't hold on any longer.

With a forceful throw, Hermes was flung out, crashing into a large mountain and causing a great tremor. Debris and dust rained down like a shower of celestial beings, and Hermes was caught in the turmoil, coughing.

Oh shit.

This tangy flavor is really invigorating; I haven't experienced it in a long time and I miss it quite a bit.

Hermes pulled his body out of the mountain and shook his head. The wounds on his forehead and body were healing rapidly. With his current recovery ability, these injuries were a piece of cake.

the other side.

Wald knelt on one knee, clutching his bleeding side with one hand. Looking down, he saw that his kidneys were covered in blood; this was the most painful moment in decades for him.

Even with his thick Armament Haki defense, he couldn't defend against it.

The opponent's attack was strange, directly affecting the inside.

Clang clang clang clang.

Wald looked up and saw Hermes in the distance taking off the miniature watermelon knife from his neck. After returning to normal, it dragged on the ground, making a very harsh metallic sound, and sparks flew when it hit the hard rock.

“Bondy Wald, I, Her Majesty, acknowledge your strength.”

"Join the Monarch! Let's be lawless together and pursue freedom together."

Hermes has taken a liking to Wald's strength and wants to recruit him into Langzhong.

Currently, within the entire organization, perhaps only Burgess can rival him. Guy Rum, Lucci, Hody Jones, and Bruno are still a bit lacking, but they can still manage to maneuver around the organization by relying on certain abilities or special circumstances.

As for Mansherry and Alpagachino, let's not even mention them.

"Just you?"

Wold stood up, panting heavily and clutching his back. Armament Haki covered his entire body once more, exuding disdain and mockery. He was none other than Bondi Wold, the World Destroyer.

There is no one in this world who can make him submit.

"I like you unruly people."

"Since that's the case, then I'll give you the first use of this move!"

Hermes was just saying it casually; if you take it seriously, you'll lose.

This legendary old monster, even a fool would know he would never submit to anyone and would rather die.

Wald stopped talking, exploded on the spot and disappeared, turning into a blur as he rushed straight towards Hermes. He was done playing around and was ready to finish off Hermes.

Seeing Wald rushing towards him, Hermes' purple-white aura began to flow onto his watermelon knife, and the surrounding air began to ripple abnormally.

Pebbles bounced off the ground, only to be crushed by an invisible force in the next instant.

"A hundred times more."

"Elbaf Spear - Overlord".

With two heart-wrenching shouts, Wald and Hermes, their faces contorted with rage, unleashed their strongest attacks simultaneously. Wald's punch was like a meteorite, compressing everything, as if half the sky had crashed down upon them.

Hermes, holding the watermelon knife in both hands, also swung it out in an instant.

boom! ! ! !

Heaven and earth faded.

An immense power was expanding, and mountains rose from the ground. Bruno could feel the entire island trembling, with numerous cracks constantly spreading from the very center.

Visible to the naked eye.

A spiraling beam of light stretched across the sky, destroying everything in its path, evaporating mountains and islands, leaving behind a torn, wide road before finally parting the sea and disappearing into the distance.

Climb to a high place and enjoy the view.

Half of the island was split apart, like a middle parting, but it gradually became the Mediterranean Sea.

"As expected, this move cannot be fully destructive without transforming into a giant. What is the underlying principle?"

Before the seemingly endless broad road, Hermes spat out the blood from his mouth, raised the watermelon knife dripping with purplish-white liquid, somewhat dissatisfied with its power.

It's unclear whether this move is a giant's combat technique, requiring a massive body as a foundation, which prevents him from unleashing the true destructive power of Elbaf Spear: Overlord while maintaining a normal size.

However, if the size increases to ten, twenty, fifty, or even one hundred meters, the power of this move will greatly increase, becoming devastating.

However, the larger the size, the slower the attack speed, which is equivalent to trading speed for great power, so it has both advantages and disadvantages.

In some ways, it's quite similar to King's Fist. One increases power the longer you warm up, while the other increases power the larger your body size. One uses time to gain power, while the other uses speed to gain power.

Despite its many limitations, it's undeniably very useful.

Chapter 180 [It's Directly the Aircraft Carrier Era]

"Cough cough cough~"

At the end of the desolate canyon, amidst rubble and mud, Wald crawled out covered in blood, his hands braced against the ground as he coughed up blood uncontrollably. His breath had plummeted to freezing, and he looked utterly wretched.

What exactly is going on with the other side's attack?

Not only is it powerful, but it is also extremely strange.

His internal organs were severely damaged, and after being imprisoned for 30 years, his body had not yet recovered. So, just one move was enough to severely injure him, and even standing up was a problem.

"You old monsters are truly terrifying."

Hermes moved sideways three feet off the ground, his watermelon knife still shimmering with purple-white flames. Although it was made of ordinary steel, after being forged with Armament Haki for so many years, its hardness was now far greater than before.

It's not just watermelon knives, but also the body.
