The most courageous pirate hunter

He's always been like this.

The Golden Lion's current predicament is exactly what he experienced before, catching him completely off guard. To be honest, he has never seen anyone as shameless and cunning as Jormungandr.

They are very good at launching surprise attacks.

The storm lingered for a long time.

Water Seven suffered unimaginable damage; cracks nearly tore the streets apart, and everywhere there were towering ruins. Countless people had died.

The most central.

A large crater gradually appeared, but before the smoke of battle had completely dissipated, Hermes' angry voice rang out again: "Old man, you've come all this way to show off your kingly aura in front of me, do you really think you're something special?"

Lao Tzu is free.

Nobody can shit on my head.

"As long as I unleash my ultimate move quickly enough, I can kill all you old bastards!"

"Great Freedom - Ten Gods".

Buzz! ! !

The intense light shone again, transforming into beams of light that pierced through the clouds. Hermes, with his hands shaped like calyxes, unleashed fifteen strikes in an instant, causing cataclysmic destruction that shattered the atmosphere into pieces.

"damn it."

"That bastard BOSS, let's retreat."

"Should we destroy Water Seven?"

Bages and the others retreated one after another. They had no choice but to retreat, even though they were already far away. The shockwaves, one after another, carried immense force like a tsunami.

In an emergency.

Garp risked injury to reach Luffy and the others, and narrowly managed to protect them all; it was truly a difficult task for him.

Lucci and the others didn't have time to deal with it either.

Let's get through this hurdle first; the boss is going too far.

All I wanted was to recruit you as my underling, why are you so angry?

Her personality is becoming increasingly fierce and erratic, much like a woman's period – she can explode at the slightest provocation. Has she gradually lost her way as she gains status and fame?

But on second thought, since they've been identified as enemies, it's essential to strike first. That's what a smart person does, and only in this way can one more easily survive to the end.

Instead of rambling on and on.

Hermes knew all too well the trope of villains dying from talking too much.

"Strike first, strike hard; strike later, strike hard"—a truly wise saying, and Mr. He will carry it out to the end.

Chapter 204 [Who do you think you are? Chase after me!]

"Damn guy!"

The supreme Conqueror's Haki swept across the world, the entire sky was overturned by black clouds and thunder roared, and one storm after another swept through the heavens. The golden lion was no longer as majestic as it had been at the beginning.

His orange and yellow kimono was torn, and his chest was covered in blood, revealing his ribs. His face was contorted with rage, and blood was flowing from his seven orifices. Three powerful attacks came in quick succession, almost stunning him.

Directly caused serious injury.

He had spent most of his life on the high seas and had never seen such a shameless and hot-tempered fellow who would reveal all his cards right from the start.

It's like he played a 3, and this bastard smashed down both kings and four twos. Luckily, he's an old hand with some skills, otherwise anyone else would have been finished.

Even so, he felt a great threat.

Buzz! ! !

The Devil Fruit power was activated, and the clouds filled with black and red lightning formed a leak, causing a massive island to transform into a meteor and crash straight down onto the earth.

"That old scoundrel."

Garp cursed loudly, piled Luffy and the others together like a human pyramid, then carried them on his shoulders and shot away like a streak of light, determined to escape the island as quickly as possible.

In the previous era, if anyone possessed the power to destroy the world, then Shiki would certainly be one of them. His Float-Float Fruit ability allowed him to easily levitate islands and then smash them into enemies like meteorites.

Like the Tremor-Tremor Fruit that Whitebeard used to cause earthquakes and tsunamis, it is a natural disaster.

"Hey Hey hey!"

"Does it have to be this terrifying?"

Bages and his group were also frightened. It was an entire island that had crashed down on them, not some small hill. The light was blocked, and everything was shrouded in shadow.

"Don't forget the BOSS's order: wipe out the Straw Hat Pirates."

"Who does this mere naval hero think he is? Chase after him!"

"go!"

Bruno opened a door in the air, and Burgess, Lucci, and the others jumped in one after another. Inside the alternate dimension, they were not afraid even if knives rained down from the outside world.

same moment.

Some of the island's fleeing residents knelt down, their legs trembling, weeping bitterly, their faces filled with despair.

However, some talented commoners, especially those who have successfully mastered the Shave and Moon Step techniques from the Six Styles, or those with strong physiques and running abilities, have a certain chance of escaping.

All that remained were the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled.

This is the tragedy and desolation of the weak.

Unable to control their own destiny.

"Golden Lion, I admit you are very strong, but this era no longer belongs to you, but to me."

"This era is called Hermes Jörmungandr."

"You're already halfway to the grave, wouldn't it be better to retire peacefully and enjoy your old age? Why do you have to come out and cause trouble, and you even dare to cause trouble for me, the emperor? Are you trying to teach me how to behave?"

"What I hate most are you old fogies who rely on your age and think you're still in charge of this world?"

Hermes suddenly remembered Sengoku and Rayleigh, those scoundrels who were arrogant and had been at the top of the pyramid for too long, thinking that everyone would fawn over them and that they could boss around these young people.

Grass!

Emperor He was not satisfied.

When you're out in the game, you have to be in charge of your own life.

We should live life to the fullest, live freely, and live as we please!

"Oh shit."

"Kill you!"

Hermes, determined to eliminate any potential enemies, decided to go all out and kill them, otherwise things would get complicated. He pulled out ten E.S. pills from his pocket and swallowed them without hesitation.

That moment.

Hermes's burning aura surged, the halo behind his head expanded, and his entire aura became unstoppable, as if he had entered Super Saiyan 2, his whole body filled with terrifying power.

The golden lion in the ruins, now ragged and covered in wounds, opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Looking at the suddenly enraged Hermes, its eyes narrowed and its heart trembled.

He felt like a stranger in this world.

Are all young people these days so arrogant and domineering?

Not only are they powerful, but they're also like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment. They're the kind of people who fight to the death from the start. Their ruthlessness is terrifying just to look at, and their oppressive aura is incredibly strong.

"Elbaf Spear - Overlord".

Hermes grew to ten meters tall, gripping Van Gufried in both hands. Without a word, he swung his sword, creating a devastating spiral impact that swept across the ground and surged irresistibly toward the golden lion.

"This is impossible!"

The golden lion roared, utterly questioning the meaning of life.

How can such a powerful move be used so casually? It's only been a short time.

What's with the cooldown time? Is it really necessary to be this aggressive?

"Lion's Might - Earth Roll".

Despite his collapsing body, the Golden Lion fought fiercely, spitting out blood and supporting himself on the ground with both hands. In an instant, the earth shattered and rose up, and five lions that soared into the clouds rose from the ground, all opening their blood-red mouths to devour the pillar of light.

Boom boom boom.

The first three giant lions were pierced through without any resistance, but the last two weakened the hegemony. Then the golden lion swung its leg and created a huge slash, easily obliterating the hegemony.

The five giant lions that had been pierced through were healed again under the control of the golden lion, and then opened their blood-red maws and swept towards Hermes. This is the terrifying aspect of the Float-Float Fruit.

But Hermes was no pushover either.

When its size dropped to four millimeters, it entered mini mode, releasing the shrinking effect to the maximum extent. The first giant lion was instantly shrunk, and Hermes darted through it, quickly approaching the golden lion.

His right hand radiated intense light, and a sun was rising slowly.

"damn it."

The golden lion's pale face changed drastically. He immediately soared into the sky. This terrifying move made his scalp tingle. Last time, it almost smashed his kidneys.
