The most courageous pirate hunter

"I was originally planning to leave here, but your men are so blind, I have no choice but to follow the script."

Hermes shrugged, looking quite nonchalant.

Only one person can leave here today.

Cocos's response was highly aggressive, making reconciliation impossible.

Both sides knew very well that it was a fight to the death.

The atmosphere gradually became tense and violent.

Both were ruthless; they had only exchanged a few words before gathering their strength to launch an attack at any moment, and neither of them let their guard down.

boom! ! !

A bullet flew by, and Hermes didn't even see how Cocos drew his gun. He instinctively shrank by five millimeters to dodge it, and the next second another bullet pierced the air.

Even when it shrank to five millimeters in size, Hermes felt threatened.

The enemy's shooting was very accurate.

Hermes' continuous leaping and running, followed by grabbing a stool and throwing it, creates a powerful visual impact and a sense of the bizarre.

After all, Hermes is only five millimeters long, about the size of a rat dropping.

It's like an ant losing a stool; it still has a lot of power.

Snapped! ! !

A tremendous roar erupted as Cocos shot a bench, then rose from his seat and swiftly moved toward Hermes, firing two more bullets in the process.

Hermes looked solemn.

I initially thought the Gunner's weakness was close combat, but looking at Cocos who took the initiative to approach, he clearly possessed close-combat skills.

No wonder his bounty is higher than that of Captain Joa and Captain Chainman; it's truly impressive.

The bullet grazed the dandruff, and was larger than Hermes' body, and was almost hit.

Suddenly, darkness fell overhead, and Cocos's enormous black soles, with a whooshing sound, seemed to crash down on Hermes as if the sky had collapsed.

At the critical moment.

Hermes concentrated all his power in his fingers, which suddenly grew fifty centimeters larger and fired a shot. Accompanied by a scream and a spray of blood, Cocos was sent flying by the powerful force, a deep bloody hole appearing in the sole of his right foot.

However, as a gunman, his ability to retaliate is very strong.

The moment it shot out, Cocos fired two bullets from each of his two guns, which landed perfectly at the moment Hermes finished his attack, and in a very tricky position.

Damn.

Hermes' pupils contracted sharply, sensing danger and causing his hair to stand on end.

He could only dodge one bullet; he couldn't predict the trajectory of the second one, and he was bound to be hit.

My heart was pounding wildly.

Death is so close.

But in that split second, Hermes' five senses vanished.

that moment.

The world stopped.

Hermes instinctively tucked in his stomach and stuck out his buttocks. A bullet tore through his shirt, and after leaving a trail of blood, it struck the wall and became deeply embedded in it.

He was panting heavily.

Beads of cold sweat trickled down Hermes' forehead as he looked down at his abdomen, where a thin line of blood was trickling out, though it was just a superficial wound.

He dodged it.

That chilling sensation I just felt, and the blurry images that flashed through my mind—could it be...?

Suppressing his excitement, Hermes looked greedily at Cocos, a thought forming in his mind: to put himself in danger, Cocos would undoubtedly be the best sparring partner.

The surprise came so suddenly that he wasn't prepared at all.

"call out!!!!"

At this moment, Cocos launched a new attack, completely disregarding his foot injury.

"calm down."

Faced with Cocos's attack, Hermes took a deep breath, relaxed his whole body, and wanted to feel that ethereal feeling again.

Just~

Blood splattered, and Hermes let out a muffled groan.

Damn, that hurts.

My arm was hit, leaving a gash that revealed the bone. The sensation I was looking for didn't appear. Luckily, I dodged in the nick of time, or I would have been done for.

Bang bang bang.

Cocos kicked out at close range, and Hermes raised his hand to intercept, but couldn't help taking a few steps back. Before he could make any move, two more bullets were fired at him.

The opponent's attacks were relentless.

slowly.

Hermes was being overwhelmed by Cocos, rarely using his shrinking ability and only passively defending himself. This made Cocos increasingly angry, believing that Hermes was insulting him.

"coming."

The wounds on his body were increasing, and although none of them were fatal, he was losing too much blood.

Hermes' pale face revealed that his body was nearing its limit, yet he was now unusually excited and frenzied.

The world fell silent again, and the bullet's trajectory seemed to slow down.

There's no mistake, that's Observation Color.

"Hahaha~"

"continue!"

Having perfectly dodged a barrage of shots, Hermes laughed wildly, appearing quite manic.

This is such a pleasant surprise!

Hermes had considered many possibilities regarding the awakening of his domineering aura, but he never expected it to happen in this way, so early, and so suddenly.

The only downside is that you have to risk your life to trigger the chance and keep that feeling going, otherwise you don't know if it will trigger again next time.

Now that the opportunity has come, we must seize it.

"Too deceiving."

Cocos was furious and fired his dual pistols wildly, while also using his physical skills to follow up. In addition, Hermes was only on the defensive, so the pressure on Hermes was immense.

The injuries are increasing.

They were gradually falling into a desperate situation, but their Observation Haki was being triggered more and more frequently.

"puff!!!"

Hermes' face turned ashen as his body was pierced through. He danced madly on the tip of the blade, but still managed to strain his back.

That shot was very heavy.

It almost drained Hermes of all his energy and spirit.

The wind is strong, let's get out of here!

Shrinking five millimeters in an instant, Hermes quickly fled the scene. If this continued, he might not only fail to master Observation Haki, but he might even lose his life.

no doubt.

Compared to killing Cocos, Hermes' biggest gain from this trip was awakening his Observation Haki. A head can be taken at any time, but the awakening of Haki is not something that can be done at any time.

"If you're so capable, don't try to run away."

Cocos was completely devastated.

Just when it seemed like they were about to take down the enemy, the guy escaped at the last moment.

Adding to the fact that his foot was injured at the beginning, he couldn't catch up even if he wanted to, and could only watch helplessly as Hermes disappeared from sight.

"hateful."

"Jörmungandr!!!"

A hysterical roar of resentment echoed throughout the camp as Cocos roared to the sky, his eyes bloodshot.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Here.

Hermes coughed up blood as he ran, his right hand clutching his bleeding chest, and hurried toward the clinic he had been to before.

He might still be salvageable.

Fortunately, his body is not as weak as it was in his previous life. Through continuous high-intensity training, both his defense and recovery abilities are much stronger than those of ordinary people.

Of course, compared to the non-human beings on the sea, Hermes was still a weakling.
