The most courageous pirate hunter

One night.

Without anyone noticing, pirates lost their lives in their sleep. Anyone targeted by Hermes, whether they were fast asleep, defecating, or eating, suffered a terrible fate.

"Enemy attack."

After dealing with the sleeping pirates, Hermes began hunting down the pirates patrolling the camp, but this time he was discovered.

But it was too late.

The entire Twin Wheel Pirates crew was reduced to just a few small fry without a sound, and they could no longer influence the upcoming battle.

Even so, Hermes did not let it go until Cocos arrived.

"meet again."

Hermes stepped on a dying pirate, a hint of expectation in his eyes. This man was a good person, and might be the one who could help him fully awaken his Observation Haki.

Cocos, however, was no longer so hopeful; all he felt was anger and murderous intent.

There was no room for further conversation between them. Cocos drew his twin pistols with lightning speed and charged at Hermes, attempting to bring Hermes to orgasm.

Taking a deep breath, Hermes began to enter a passive defensive state.

My luck wasn't so good. My Observation Haki didn't activate. Instead, my arm was slashed by a bullet, and the burning pain instantly swept through my body.

boom! ! !

Cocos was firing wildly while constantly closing in on Hermes, attempting to crush Hermes completely in one fell swoop, unleashing full firepower right from the start.

"Trigger it for me!"

Hermes was unwilling to give up and kept trying, but he ended up getting more and more injured.

Finally~

The world came to a standstill.

Even in the darkness, the bullet's trajectory was so clear. Hermes was overjoyed; an attack that would have been so difficult to dodge before was now so easy.

Gradually.

Hermes began to get into the zone, triggering his Observation Haki more and more frequently, but at a great cost, he sustained more and more wounds, none of which were fatal.

Even so, she couldn't withstand the continuous bleeding.

It's time to leave.

Without a word, Hermes instantly shrank and disappeared from the ground, causing Cocos's eyes to turn bloodshot. He frantically chased after Hermes based on his senses, but to no avail.

"Jormungandr."

A heart-wrenching roar echoed through the sky, and Cocos's face contorted with rage, so furious he vomited blood.

That bastard got away again.

Chapter 21 [That thing is still somewhat useful to me]

"boom!!!"

It's quiet at night.

The sky was overcast, as if it were about to rain. A sudden noise forced the doctor to wake up from his dream. A flash of lightning illuminated the dark room through the window.

"Ghost!"

A hysterical scream erupted from the doctor's mouth, the deafening sound exceeding human limits, making Hermes, already covered in blood and pale, even paler.

Instinctively, I slapped him, and the doctor's horrified right cheek turned bright red. He rolled over at the foot of the bed, nearly wetting himself in fright.

Anyone who wakes up in the middle of the night to find a blood-soaked person standing next to their bed would be terrified.

"Don't scream, it's me!"

The slap left the doctor somewhat bewildered.

Hermes coughed, turned around and sat down on a chair not far away, as if he were at home.

Familiar voice.

A disheveled figure.

As the doctor's soul gradually returned, he covered his face and got out of bed, wincing. He leaned closer and, with the help of the lightning, finally saw Hermes clearly. His weak appearance, as if his kidneys had been emptied, was indeed real.

Still panting.

"You bastard, you almost sent me to my death."

The doctor was furious.

He just experienced a thrilling moment of death, almost getting too excited.

"Enough talk, the usual rules."

Hermes was growing weaker, but he wasn't worried at all. On the contrary, he was very excited and happy. His Observation Haki was being triggered more and more frequently, and he would be able to take control of it after one or two more times.

Compared to that, what are these injuries? As long as I don't die, it's all a bonus.

"Damn it, this time it's more money."

"Don't think you'll get special treatment just because you're Hermes Jormungandr."

The doctor grumbled and cursed, but his hands moved quickly.

Still, no one knows where she pulled out the medical kit, and began skillfully cleaning Hermes' wounds, without reducing the medical fee because of Hermes' fame or his reputation for fighting evil.

Hermes did not answer, but instead closed his eyes.

It's only a matter of time before the other party finds out his identity, and after spending time together, he has learned quite a bit about the doctor's character, so for now, they can get along.

"So they still couldn't take down the double-barreled gunman Cocos this time?"

Seeing that Hermes remained silent, the doctor continued to grumble, partly to distract Hermes, but mostly out of curiosity.

He really didn't expect Hermes to be so strong. A pirate with a bounty of tens of millions had actually killed two of them in succession. Just how much power was hidden in that thin body?

"I can take it down, but that thing is still somewhat useful to me."

Hermes clenched his fists, veins bulging, in excruciating pain.

It seems we need to toughen up our physical defenses. Looking at the top-tier powerhouses on the high seas, none of them are physically weak; they're all like cockroaches that can't be killed.

To gain a foothold in this era, one needs not only exceptional strength but also robust defense, as well as relentless output and recovery capabilities like a pile driver.

"Fine!"

The doctor didn't ask any more questions.

Click till.

He still understands social etiquette and social dynamics.

soon.

Hermes was mostly wrapped in bandages, but the treatment time was still kept within five minutes.

Some beer is really good.

"You should leave quickly."

After the doctor recovered, he didn't ask Hermes for money. Instead, he quickly cleaned up the scene to avoid being searched like last time.

"Same as last time, buy on credit."

Hermes waved his hand and quickly disappeared into the night.

There was no politeness whatsoever.

"Get out of here!"

The doctor cursed and started working with a broom and mop, not caring that Hermes would renege on the agreement, he just kept spewing profanities.

Ten days later.

A burst of fighting sounds came from the town.

Once Hermes recovered from his injuries, he immediately sought out Cocos, the vengeful spirit. The two immediately engaged in a fierce and thrilling battle.

Many residents got a close-up look.

This time.

Cocos will not be able to hit Hermes so easily anymore.

As Observation Haki was triggered more and more frequently, Cocos gradually began to feel the strain.

shhhhhh! ! !

Bullets pierced the air, hitting walls and shops, stirring up a lot of dust.

"Is that Hermes Jormungandr, the pirate hunter?"

"The one wielding dual pistols is Cocos, the captain of the Twin Wheel Pirates, with a bounty of 44 million Berries."

"I finally met him in person today."
