The most courageous pirate hunter

"With everyone practicing cultivation, any force could potentially create the ancient weapon Hades. It's terrifying to even think about."

"Those in power, the so-called nobles, are probably not going to sleep soundly."

"Among the common people, the Hunter King is known as a savior, while among the middle and upper classes, the Hunter King is a destroyer."

"The times are changing so fast, we can't keep up."

"In the future, strong people will be everywhere. You'll be embarrassed to go out if you don't know at least one or six moves."

"Anyone would seize such a life-changing opportunity; it's unimaginable what the ocean will become in the future!"

The news is causing a stir around the world, with everyone watching the latest issue of the newspaper.

The information above alone shows just how much the World Government and the Navy hate the Hunter King.

Imperial organization.

The top leader.

Hadori, Rob Lucci's pet and a weapon of mass destruction, has a bounty of 100 million Berries.

These bounties show that the World Government no longer cares whether Lucci and Bruno have actually joined Monarch; they're all on the list.

They even took the pets and the swords.

Furthermore, the information on the bounties was much more detailed, with almost everything that could be investigated or suspected being reported. Each person's profile was extensive, and the message was overwhelmingly one of anger.

"60 billion Pelés? I can't believe my eyes!"

"The total value of all employees exceeds 10 billion."

"My God, this bounty is incredible. Even the Pirate King only has a bounty of 5.5648 billion Berries."

The whole world is talking about it, truly shocked by the bounty offered by the King of Hunters.

Including the bounties offered by others, the total bounty exceeds 10 billion.

"Regardless of how strong the King of Hunters is, this bounty is well-deserved. Just look at the current state of the Navy. They announced the Six Powers, Haki, and Pluton, and put bounties on the Navy. The whole world has been thrown into chaos."

"Nobody knows what the future holds."

"The world has been changed, and the name Hermes Jormungandr will be etched in history."

"The most despicable and evil person in history?"

"How terrible!"

"This era has gone out of control; the strong survive and the weak perish, and the elimination rate will be greatly increased."

"Those powerful individuals, are you ready to be challenged?"

"Hahaha!"

This is a feast, a feast that intensifies the survival of the fittest. Those who are high and mighty now are not guaranteed to remain so forever. They could stay high and mighty for a few years before, but now everything has changed.

The Grand Line.

Upside Down Mountain.

A loud cry of alarm suddenly came from an upwelling ocean current.

A not-too-large pirate ship, flying the Straw Hat Skull Pirates flag, was descending from the sky at an extremely high speed, sliding down against the ocean current.

"It's about to hit."

A scream pierced eardrums, its heart-wrenching sound echoing through the sky.

A beautiful girl with short orange hair and a short skirt was seen clinging tightly to the ship's railing with her slender hands, her delicate eyes filled with tears.

"Help...help me..."

A man with a long nose, not far away, was also clinging tightly to the railing, trembling with fear.

"The Grand Line, here we come!"

On the bow of the boat, a boy wearing a straw hat watched the rapidly receding red soil and laughed innocently.

Not far away stood a green-haired man with three knives at his waist and a solemn expression.

The one steering the ship was a man with short blond hair and curly eyebrows, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

"Wait... what's that?!"

Sanji, who was at the helm, exhaled a puff of smoke and stared wide-eyed at the dark shadow that stretched from the sky to the ground right in front of him.

"The mountain...the mountain is going to crash! Sanji, quickly change direction!"

Usopp trembled, tears and snot streaming down his face as he screamed in agony.

"Ow~"

A deafening roar, accompanied by a hurricane, made the group instinctively cover their ears.

"It's...it's...a whale."

Everyone gaped, staring at the enormous shadow approaching from afar, their pupils filled with its reflection.

"Damn it, how dare they block the middle of the road."

The bow of the ship.

Luffy clenched his right fist, ready to launch an attack.

"Luffy, are you trying to die?! With your size, if you sneeze, we'll be shipwrecked and everyone will die."

"We're doomed, it's going to eat us."

Before Nami could finish speaking, the seemingly endless whale suddenly opened its mouth wide, as if a bottomless abyss had been plunged into darkness.
