The most courageous pirate hunter

What I bring is a reform, a hope, a return to the origin, fairness and justice, where everyone can wield "power," whether for protection or for killing—it's all an opportunity.

Instead of having no chance to resist as before.

In their eyes, I am justice, a pioneer of freedom, a transmitter of knowledge, and the sun in the night. No matter how much time passes, I will shine and give off heat. The name Hermes Jormungandr will surely be engraved in history.

Survival of the fittest, equal opportunities are presented to all. If you are eliminated, it can only be due to your own incompetence. In this world, the strong are respected, this is an eternal truth.

Moreover, future generations will judge their merits and demerits.

"My life has always been about having a clear conscience."

Hermes sneered repeatedly.

Slinging mud, labeling, and playing tricks?

I'll beat you to a pulp.

Everything has two sides. Depending on your perspective, you will see different things. This is especially true for human beings. Even a layman would know that in the eyes of slaves and the people struggling at the bottom of society, he must be a saint-like figure.

In the eyes of nobles or those who seize resources by force, they would certainly be considered utterly wicked.

"Grass!"

"I must have had a sleepless night to talk so much with a guy like you who has no credibility. Stop talking nonsense and get on with your performance. If you call to say this nonsense, then I'll consider the deal with the Five Elders to have failed."

They'll sell the Celestial Dragons into geisha immediately.

Hermes didn't want to say too much to Sengoku. Just looking at that face made him want to piss on it. Didn't this idiot realize who was in control of the situation?

Sengoku suppressed his anger.

However, the bulging veins on his forehead quickly subsided, proving that he was indeed a marshal and had excellent emotional control.

A few minutes later.

Hermes dialed a new number.

"Moshi Moshi, this is Fallaci."

"Ferrari, I have some new news material here. Release it as soon as possible."

That's right.

Just as the Warring States period had guessed, Hermes recorded the video call and intended to release it.

As always.

"Lord Jormungandr, just a quick reminder, my name is Faraday."

Farage was really exasperated. After all these years of dealing with him, how come this man still couldn't remember his name? But even so, he loved him deeply, because this man was his benefactor and the key to his wealth.

Let's see what kind of trouble they've caused this time.

It should at least be in the top three trending topics!

After all, this guy has never made a mistake. He's too lazy to bother with trivial matters; when he does something, it's always something earth-shattering!

Chapter 192 [The Devil Fruit Development of Each Member, Big Back Hair Defeated.....]

The next day.

A news report spread across the ocean.

It was a video call between Hermes and the Warring States period.

This has caused quite a stir around the world.

Some people support Hermes, while others support the Warring States period. Everyone has a different perspective, so they see different things. People tend to favor what is beneficial to themselves.

But undeniably, for countless slaves and the struggling masses, Hermes was their light, bringing them hope.

Whether the hope was good or bad, Hermes gave them a chance.

Whether they can grasp it or not is their own problem, and on this point, they do not think Hermes did anything wrong.

Unfortunately, the world's resources are ultimately controlled by a small group of people, and when this small group mobilizes their power, the voices of the masses begin to be drowned out.

In an instant, war broke out among the various kingdoms.

As time goes by, uprisings break out everywhere. In this era where everyone can cultivate themselves, everyone has the opportunity to change their destiny.

Meanwhile, the trending topic of the Warring States period bowing to Hermes also sparked widespread ridicule.

When many people learned that it was the Warring States period that had broken its promises, they began to lose trust in the navy as well, which was a major crisis.

However, there are many more troubles at the moment.

Anyway, having too many lice makes you less itchy.

In short, the Warring States period suffered a huge loss of face this time, and it can be said that their reputation was ruined in their later years.

"Fufufu~"

Dressrosa.

Doflamingo, now a completely different person, looked at the newspaper in his hand, his expression behind his sunglasses indescribable. This beast actually dared to use his words.

But when did he say that?

Putting everything else aside, this beast struck a chord with him, because that's exactly what he believes: justice and evil are always written by the victors.

He has a thorough understanding of the rules of the world.

It's a pity that the two sides are already irreconcilable enemies, otherwise they might have really become close friends.

The outside world's uproar did not disturb Hermes and his companions. After their conversation, they learned that they would be able to trade with the Navy in half a month, since it would take some time for the Death Ship to be fitted with Seastone.

The location is in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Everyone was truly surprised that a mere Celestial Dragon could cause the World Government to regress so much.

soon.

A week has passed.

The video conversation between Hermes and Sengoku remains at the top of the trending topics list, but new news was released that day, and it was quite popular.

"Hey hey hey~"

"Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the King of the Desert, has been defeated."

"How is that possible? Are you sure? Who defeated them?"

"Monkey D. Luffy, the Straw Hat Boy".

"I've never heard of this group of pirates before, but Monkey D. seems familiar; I feel like I've heard of him somewhere before."

The downfall of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea has attracted considerable attention.

Keep in mind that they were one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a force to be reckoned with in the Grand Line. It's unbelievable that they were defeated by an unknown pirate crew.

For a time, the Revolutionary Army, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Navy, and the Four Emperors all attracted attention, with varying degrees of interest.

A deserted island.

Not far from the Sabaody Archipelago, but not close either, it is an island rarely visited by people. On this day, several huge collision sounds were heard on the island, with sand and stones flying everywhere and mountains collapsing and the earth splitting open.

After finishing their phone call with Sengoku, Hermes and the others came here to rest and recuperate. Once the deal is finalized, they will implement the next step of their plan. This will also give Lucci and Bruno a chance to get to know each other better.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

"Has the storyline already begun without us even realizing it? Even the slicked-back haircut has fallen!"

On a hilltop.

Hermes looked at the newspaper in his hand, which reported that the Straw Hat crew had defeated Crocodile. To be honest, the battle was obviously exaggerated.

But regardless, the main storyline has begun.

This means we are getting closer to the "pure gold" event.

Regardless of whether pure gold can truly eliminate the side effects of the deadly drug E·S, Hermes is determined to obtain it, as it is one of the few things in the pirate world that can prolong life and achieve a different kind of immortality.

In fact, Hermes was being somewhat presumptuous.

Because pure gold only prolongs life, it cannot increase lifespan, while the deadly drug E·S consumes lifespan. For example, Hermes could have lived for a hundred years, but as long as he wore pure gold, he would still live for a hundred years; the essence remains unchanged.

The effect of pure gold is simply to slow down the passage of a hundred years, essentially solidifying it, while the deadly drug E·S consumes lifespan. If fifty years are consumed out of a hundred, then only fifty years remain.

Pure gold can only delay the inevitable by fifty years, not add another fifty years.

Therefore, Hermes' approach was wrong. Perhaps his memory was flawed, causing him to only vaguely remember. Even so, obtaining pure gold was still essential.

If Hermes had taken a large dose of the deadly drug E.S., leaving him with only one year to live, then wearing pure gold would allow him to live for a hundred years or even longer.

It's like stretching out a year, which doesn't necessarily mean lifespan has increased, but in some ways it has. So whether pure gold can actually eliminate the effects of the toxic drug E·S remains to be seen through experimentation.

Even if pure gold cannot be eliminated, Hermes has other methods.

He has only turned white-haired and his eyes have changed color; there are no signs of aging. He is still a vigorous young man.

boom! ! !

A nearby barren mountain shook, sending a barrage of rocks flying. A gust of wind swept by, causing the purple-white flames burning across Hermes' body to ripple and bend. Looking at the rock face of the barren mountain, a large pit appeared, into which Hody Jones was trapped, his mouth full of blood.
