The most courageous pirate hunter

The terrain has been shrunk?

Observation Haki covered the surroundings, and the environment had been shrunk by a powerful force. Some of the drinkers were sitting on the ground, looking completely bewildered. Why was the table in front of them so tiny?

boom! ! !

Hermes remained seated on his high chair, seemingly motionless, but Shaoqi crossed her arms in front of her chest. The next second, a powerful attack struck, and Shaoqi, in pain, was sent flying.

At the same time, Hermes' figure began to fade.

One by one, the mangrove trees snapped, and Shaoqi tumbled through the air and landed, her feet sinking deep into the ground as she moved sideways for a distance. Before she could catch her breath, Hermes appeared out of nowhere and stomped down mercilessly.

An explosion rang out immediately, tearing apart the ground within an 800-meter radius and quickly collapsing into a spiderweb-like crater, the extent of which continued to spread.

Shaoqi appeared in the distance, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

This man is more powerful than I imagined.

She immediately used Moonwalk to levitate. Perhaps it wasn't Moonwalk, but it was similar. She clearly understood the principle behind Hermes' ability to shorten the distance and pull her back. Combined with the Devil Fruit ability of Hermes, it's not hard to guess that it was achieved by altering the terrain.

She had done research on this before.

Combining intelligence with real combat experience to quickly understand the opponent's fighting style is an essential skill for every strong person who rises from the ashes.

What makes a true powerhouse terrifying, besides their exceptional strength, is the invaluable experience gained from battles.

"As expected, it's more stressful to fight against you veterans. The essential difference between fighting against newbies is that it's more exciting and gets you into a frenzy. It seems that this is the experience gained from battles."

Hermes sighed, realizing at a glance that the other party's shrinking-the-earth-to-an-inch technique had been discovered.

but it does not matter.

Shrinking the Earth to an Inch is still under development. When a concept version is developed in the future that shrinks distance, space, and time, then Shrinking the Earth to an Inch will have truly grown up.

However, this idea may never be realized, as it is too advanced.

Imagination can be limitless, but there is a huge gap between reality and practice.

"You can set conditions, as long as it can ease this misunderstanding."

Peony is a real problem.

I still hold onto a sliver of hope.

Being targeted by this man is no joke. Just look at what happened to the navy. If this isn't dealt with completely, they'll likely never have a peaceful life again.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

"Since you're so sincere, then accept my punch, one god, and one kingdom. As long as you're still alive, this feud can be settled!"

Hermes did not press the issue further, but stated his conditions.

"One punch, one god, one country?"

"I will only use three moves. You can dodge or withstand them in any way you wish!"

"If they survive, the matter is settled. But if they unfortunately die, I will still make trouble for Rayleigh and Boa Hancock."

Hermes held up three fingers. If his opponent could survive his three ultimate moves, then taking a step back wouldn't be out of the question.

One Punch: AOE - King's Fist.

One God: Life Returns to Great Freedom - Ten Gods.

One nation: Elbaf Spear - Overlord.

"it is good!"

Without much thought, Shaoqi agreed.

Having roamed the martial arts world for so many years, I still have this much confidence.

Hermes didn't waste any words. He drew the Van Kerkfried sword from his waist, and at the same time, his size increased to about ten meters. Van Kerkfried was no longer in sword form, but had transformed into an elephant.

However, the nose is a double-edged sword.

There are also two sharp tusks.

Hermes was clearly going to take down Van Kefried.

Because the use of the Elbaf Spear is not limited to all kinds of weapons, Hermes can also use it with his bare hands if he so desires; in short, it is just a combat technique and skill.

Techniques are static, but people are dynamic!

Chapter 184 [Rayleigh and Shaoqi's Retreat]

Buzz! ! !

The purple-white flames burned fiercely, spewing out large amounts of sparks and steam, which then spread to Van Kefried, emitting a deafening roar.

A terrifying aura was gathering.

The atmosphere began to hum.

Originally full of confidence, Shaoqi's eyelids started twitching, and the sense of crisis that made her hair stand on end became increasingly real and serious.

Perhaps she shouldn't have agreed to his request.

"Elbaf Spear - Overlord".

Hermes lifted Van Kefried high, then clenched his fists and swung them forcefully, instantly creating a spiraling impact that tore through the earth like a raging tsunami.

"Damn it!"

Shaoqi's hair was whipping wildly, and her eyes had shrunk to pinpoints.

In her vision, she felt as if a primordial beast was attacking, and it was the kind that covered a wide area and was impossible to avoid, even causing ripples in the space itself.

The entire suburbs were shaking at that moment.

Danger.

Extremely dangerous.

She might die.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

"Bages, to the left, block that old guy."

A blinding white light flashed, and Bages, who had been watching the show, heard Hermes' voice in his ear. Without thinking, he disappeared from his spot and reappeared in the direction Hermes had indicated. Powerful energy began to gather in his fist.

"Hahaha~"

"Rayleigh, the King of the Underworld".

next second.

A figure sped along the horizon, his longsword shrouded in thick Armament Haki, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Go away."

Rayleigh, who rushed over, was very anxious. He had sensed Hermes and the others from afar, but even if he arrived at top speed, it would be too late.

Sensing the immense energy at the very center, he feared that Shaoqi might not be able to withstand it.

"Unstoppable Force, Unsinkable Ship Cable Lasso!"

Boom boom! ! !

The world has lost its sound.

A mushroom cloud rose between Burgess and Rayleigh, but was torn apart by a shockwave the next moment, sweeping across one-tenth of the Sabaody Archipelago.

Finally, they parted from the sea and disappeared into the distance.

The smoke and dust lingered for a long time.

"what happened."

"An earthquake is happening."

"Are these powerful individuals fighting?"

In other parts of the Sabaody Archipelago, countless people stared at the towering mushroom cloud and the pillar of light that eclipsed the sky and earth, their faces pale with fear.

Numbers 60 to 69 are naval bases.

At this moment, the highest-ranking officer was a lieutenant general who stood in the base gazing at the pale sky, his expression becoming solemn.

Puff puff.

The sparks of fire spread, and when everything dissipated, a broad road appeared before Hermes, the air thick with heat and the ground ablaze.

Several hundred meters away.

Shaoqi knelt on the ground, covered in wounds, coughing up blood as he supported himself with his hands, his breath growing increasingly weak.

This blow.

It directly caused her serious injuries, and even put her life in danger.

“Shaoqi”.

At this moment, Rayleigh broke through Bages' blockade and came to Shaoqi's side. Seeing Shaoqi's weak and battered appearance, his boundless killing intent began to surge to the top of the clouds.
