The most courageous pirate hunter

"Help!"

"Sanji, quickly change direction."

"Damn it, it's too late."

"Help... The Grand Line is terrifying."

A towering wave surged up, and the once noisy pirate crew vanished.

A massive torrent of water swept through.

A few minutes later.

Just when everyone thought they were going to die, a ray of light appeared before them.

"Sky? Ocean? Something doesn't look right."

On the silent sea, the group came to their senses and looked at everything before them.

"There's an island there, and a person there."

Usopp pointed to a small island in the distance, where there were a few coconut trees, and an old man was lying on a deck chair under the trees, reading a newspaper.

The pirate ship docked, and whether he didn't notice or deliberately ignored it, the old man in casual shorts reading a newspaper paid no attention to Nami and the others.

"Excuse me, sir, where is this place?"

Nami looked around and then went up to ask him something, but the old man didn't even look up; he just frowned and looked at his newspaper.

"Nami, they're ignoring you, watch me instead!"

Usopp took the lead, shoving Nami aside, and walked up to the old man, shouting, "Hey! Can you hear me?"

The sound made the old man react.

Slowly raising his head, a pair of sharp eyes appeared behind ordinary glasses, causing the hairs on everyone's heads to stand on end. Zoro even drew his twin swords, and if you looked closely, you would notice that his legs were trembling.

Usopp plopped down on the ground, his face pale and dripping with sweat.

Chapter 182 [Wang Luffy Sets Sail, Golden Lion, Looking for Trouble]

"You are?"

The old man's eyes began to cloud, and he looked at Nami and the others just like any other old man.

"Was it just an illusion?"

"Whoo~"

Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke to suppress the trembling in his heart. He exchanged a glance with Zoro and could see the seriousness in Zoro's eyes. It wasn't an illusion.

This old man in front of me is no ordinary person.

"Uncle, we are pirates."

The single-celled Luffy scratched the back of his head and grinned.

"Oh."

Very bland.

Seeing that Luffy and the others were pirates, the old man showed no expression and continued to look down at the newspaper in thought.

He's been here for so many years, and the people he's seen most are pirates.

However, times have changed, and being a pirate will likely be even more dangerous in the future.

Unexpectedly, there was someone even more troublesome than Captain Roger. They hadn't gained any advantage over the Navy, but this man had caused the Navy heavy losses time and time again.

Are young people these days really this terrifying?

"Uncle, where is this place? I remember we were eaten by a giant whale."

Seeing that the old man was ignoring him, Luffy leaned closer to look at the newspaper.

"This is the whale's belly."

Before the old man could finish speaking, Luffy snatched the newspaper and stared at it intently.

"One zero, two zeros."

Luffy had never seen a bounty with so many zeros.

"What news is it? Let me see?"

Seeing Luffy's surprise and his counting on his fingers, Nami became curious and cautiously stepped forward, snatching the newspaper to read it.

"The Monarchy Organization".

"The most despicable, the most evil, the most brutal... bounty on one zero, two zeros..."

Nami read aloud as she watched, and then she started counting zeros herself.

Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp standing nearby were all dumbfounded!

"what."

Usopp and the other two started craning their necks, and then a phenomenon of transmission occurred, with everyone starting to count to zero.

"What a joke."

"60 million!"

"How can it be."

"Hermes Jormungandr, the King of Hunters, has the highest bounty in history."

"Attacked the world's largest prison and destroyed the Marineford Naval Headquarters."

"What kind of existence is this?"

"terrible."

New world.

Thousands of meters in the air.

Various strange islands of all sizes, ranging from hundreds to thousands of meters in height, are suspended in mid-air, creating a visually stunning, fairyland-like landscape.

The closer to the center, the larger the island.

Unlike the Sky Islands, which float in the air because of the White Sea, these islands float in the air without the White Sea, as if they possess some kind of mysterious power or force field.

These islands are amazing; some are entirely water, others are entirely rocky, and all sorts of them are suspended in the air, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

On some islands, deafening roars of beasts can be heard from time to time, and many extinct and rare creatures can be seen, including synthetic ones, but these creatures are all very irritable.

It is much more ferocious and powerful than the normal, similar creature.

On the very center of the island, a continuous stretch of ethnic groups exists.

Majestic, tall, luxurious, and magnificent, with a huge plaza at the front and a resplendent palace behind. As the view zooms in, a figure appears, exuding an aura of overwhelming power and domineering authority just by standing there.

A head of long, golden hair, resembling a lion's mane, cascaded to the ground. A ship's wheel was stuck in her hair, and she wore traditional Japanese clothing, though the stripes on her clothes were orange and yellow.

The two feet were not normal feet, but two swords.

"Hehehe."

"He announced the Six Powers, Haki, and the Ancient Weapon Pluton, and even put a bounty on the Navy. Now he's destroyed Impel Down and Marineford. What a crazy junior."

Roger, it seems the Great Pirate Era you started has been rewritten.

The old guy imprisoned in Impel Down isn't going to die so easily.

What an interesting kid.

Hades?

Let's meet then!

Newspapers lay scattered on the ground as the domineering man turned around. If this scene were captured on camera, it would surely cause a sensation throughout the entire sea.

Because this man is none other than the legendary pirate Shiki the Golden Lion, who once threatened the Pirate King, fought against Whitebeard, single-handedly took down Marineford and Impel Down, and was an extremely powerful being who required the combined efforts of Sengoku and Garp to defeat.

Even today, this guy's reputation still resounds across the sea.

Without a doubt, this is a king, a hegemon whose power even the ocean must submit to.

However, this man disappeared after breaking the myth of the world's number one prison.

But now they've set their sights on Hermes.

Strictly speaking, it is Hades in the hands of Hermes.

It is a well-known fact that the Hunter King possesses Pluton, one of the three ancient weapons!

as time flows.

The navy was becoming increasingly overwhelmed, as the monsters that had escaped from Impel Down had begun to show their tracks or cause trouble.

For example, the legendary Solitary Red and the Devil's Heir.

There's also Shiryu of the Rain, the Great Barrel, the Tyrant King, and so on...
