The most courageous pirate hunter

"Hehehe~ Captain Ace, don't be so distant from the start."

Blackbeard remained unfazed by Ace's murderous gaze.

"Teach, enough with the nonsense. You've lived this long, you can't possibly be unaware of the current situation."

Ace stood up, flames began to appear on his body, and the surrounding temperature gradually increased.

"I understand, but I still want to say something."

"Captain Ace, how about joining the Blackbeard Pirates and conquering the world with me? I've already planned my path to supremacy. Although the Hunter King has caused the plan to need to be changed, that's a minor issue."

"The era of Whitebeard is over."

"I will be the Pirate King."

Blackbeard spread his arms wide, displaying his grand ambitions to Ace, genuinely hoping that Ace would join the Blackbeard Pirates.

"enough!"

"Teach, you must know why I'm here, right? The Whitebeard Pirates' ironclad rule is that you must never harm your comrades. You've made a huge mistake."

call out! ! !

As soon as Ace finished speaking, a bullet pierced his forehead; it was Van Augur who had made the move.

Even a fool could see Fire Fist Ace's hostility.

"Musket!"

"damn it!"

Ace began to fight back, firing fireballs from his hands. This caused Blackbeard's expression to change slightly. It seemed that recruitment was out of the question. In that case, he was sorry.

"Change plans, capture him!"

It was just a fleeting moment.

Blackbeard already had a new plan in mind: he wanted to use Ace to start a world war and then reap the benefits, since his father's power was devastating.

"kill!"

Immediately, the two sides began to fight.

Until the last sun and a blanket of darkness collided, the entire island of Banaro seemed to tremble, but amidst lightning, thunder, and flying sand and stones, the sun began to gradually fade away.

the other side.

Several hundred meters in the air, figures fell freely, all spewing sparks and steam. It was Hermes and his companions, who had only been on the Sky Island for two days.

"Boss, where are we going to capture the scientist?"

Bruno spoke.

Their purpose in leaving the Sky Island was to capture scientists who could use it to create dynamic rocks or similar bombs. As long as they had this powerful weapon, their Monarch organization would not be afraid of being ambushed or ganged up on.

Actually, the best one is still the Dynamic Rock.

If this thing still exists anywhere, it must be the Navy and the World Government. However, they've all become smarter. Even if they do exist, they're definitely hiding it very well.

Instead of wasting time investigating, it would be better to capture a few scientists and manufacture it ourselves; that might be faster. In the meantime, we can continue investigating where the dynamic rocks are, doing both things at once.

Have you heard of the Germa 66?

Hermes already has targets, and not just one or two.

In the original work.

There are many famous scientists, with Vegapunk being the top choice. However, he is currently a scientist under the World Government, so he is under strict surveillance and doesn't know where Vegapunk is.

Another one is Vinsmoke Judge of Germa 66. Hermes is very interested in his clones. If they can develop the bomb, and then have the clones launch suicide attacks, it would be a headache for any faction.

Another one is Caesar Clown, who works with Doflamingo and is currently researching artificial Devil Fruits.

There is also Quinn, one of the three calamities.

These three individuals appear to have once belonged to a scientific organization. If these individuals were brought together, it should be easy for them to create bombs similar to kinetic rocks.

If one person's research is too slow, then two, three, or five people can work together.

There is strength in numbers.

If there are enough scientists, the development of bombs can be accelerated.

In addition, to ensure absolute safety, Hermes also targeted individuals with abilities related to bombs. With these specimens, he believed the speed would be even faster.

For example, Mr. 5, the booger-like man under Crocodile, is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the Bomb-Bomb Fruit, and Gladius, the Bomb-Bomb Fruit user under Doflamingo.

Just right.

It's been a long time since I've seen Xiaoming. I wonder how much wealth that guy has now. I should be able to take advantage of him.

"The Germa Kingdom of the North Sea?"

Compared to the bewildered looks of the others, Lucci and Bruno knew a little bit, after all, they were once CP9 members and had access to more information than Burgess and others.

"Is he famous?"

Hody Jones curled his lip, having never heard of it before.

"Germany 66 is a well-known assassin clan in the underworld. They have long since begun to suppress and rule the North Sea by force, and dominate the region with their powerful scientific combat force."

Currently, under the leadership of King Vinsmoke Judge, the Kingdom of Germa 66 is rising again.

Lucci gave a simple and clear introduction.

"It looks really impressive."

Mansherry blinked her big eyes.

"Boss, your target is Vinsmoke Judge, right? That guy is not only the king of Germa 66, but also a famous scientist. It is said that he even worked with the world's number one scientist, Vegapunk."

In response to Lucci's question, Hermes nodded and said, "Besides Vinsmoke Judge, there are also Caesar Clown and Queen. It's a pity I don't know where Vegapunk is, otherwise I would have taken them all out."

"And who is Caesar Couran?"

"Quinn? That big fat guy?"

They were unfamiliar with Caesar Cullen and his group, but they were familiar with Quinn Bages and his group.

"That big fat guy is also a scientist?"

"You can't judge a book by its cover. I really didn't realize that before."

Mansherry also complained that the fat man had lost too quickly and hadn't shown many of his skills, so it was hard to tell that he was a scientist.

"First go to the North Sea, then to Dressrosa, and then to Ghost Island."

"Hahaha~"

"It's time to see some acquaintances."

The Deathship grew larger, and the group landed on the deck. They located the North Sea and quickly disappeared below the horizon.

Chapter 216 [Blame it on your own talent]

North Sea.

Throughout history, both in the past and present, and into the future, many powerful individuals have emerged.

The world generally acknowledges that the Four Seas are the weakest. Compared to the monsters and demons of the Grand Line and the New World, the Four Seas are like a small place.

But almost half of the big shots who stirred up trouble on the Grand Line and in the New World came from all over the world, and made their names on the sea by overcoming countless obstacles and stepping on countless corpses.

For example, Beckman, Borsalino, Sakazuki, Vista, Doc Q, and several supernovas who would later be known as the Worst Generation.

Even Doflamingo has a very deep connection with the North Blue.

A few years ago, the Vinsmoke family, also known as the Germa Kingdom, ruled this sea area.

The Vinsmoke family once controlled the entire North Sea by force, but later gradually declined for various reasons. Even so, they were still the most feared family in the North Sea.

Previously, there were two well-known forces in the North Sea: the Germa Kingdom and the Donquixote Family.

There were both frictions and cooperation between the two sides, but due to the decline of the family, the Germa Kingdom was always suppressed by the Donquixote Family.

The main reason is that the Germa Kingdom was too brutal when it ruled the North Blue, so it is now unpopular in the North Blue. Many forces have attached themselves to the Donquixote Family, so the Germa Kingdom is not having a good time now.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Furthermore, after Doflamingo became a Shichibukai, he gradually focused most of his energy on the New World, which led to Germa 66 becoming the undisputed leader in recent years.

Many forces in the North Sea Kingdom dared not speak out against their anger.

In addition, the Germa Kingdom is a unique maritime nation in the world without a fixed territory. It usually consists of dozens of ships operating separately, which together form the kingdom.

The national soldiers formed the Derma 66, an army that struck fear into the world, and the Vinsmoke family was at the pinnacle of national and military rule.

Most importantly, the Germa Kingdom has been a nation of science for generations, with advanced technology as its strong backing.

As the head of House Vinsmoke, Vinsmoke Judge is a man who will stop at nothing to restore his family's glory and dominate the entire North Blue.

It's somewhat tragic and lamentable.

Furthermore, this man was also an outstanding scientist who had worked with Vegapunk for a period of time to develop the lineage factor. When Vegapunk was targeted by the World Government, he withdrew and returned to the North Blue alone, where he began to research clone soldiers and cyborgs using the lineage factor.
