The most courageous pirate hunter

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

"A Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart - Feather Strike - Thread".

Faced with Doflamingo's heart-wrenching roar and the dense barrage of attacks, Hermes casually brushed his flame-like white hair with both hands and nonchalantly raised his right foot and stomped down.

"The field unfolds."

A moment.

The white halo standing behind his head rippled, followed by a dazzling light. The flames burning around him began to compress and spew sparks, eventually forming a protective shield that covered his entire body.

Boom boom boom!

The air was rumbling, Doflamingo was grinding his teeth so hard they were almost breaking, veins bulging on his temples, as if he wanted those threads to pierce Hermes with holes.

Unfortunately, the protective shield seemed unreliable, but its defense was exceptionally tough. It took a lot of effort to squeeze it a short distance. Meanwhile, Hermes casually drew Van Goghfried from his waist.

"I must admit that you have become stronger, and even pose a threat to me, but this is far from enough!"

"Doflamingo, watch carefully. This is how you use your ultimate move. It doesn't need to be too fancy. You just need to concentrate your power. I hope you can learn something from this."

"Elbaf Spear - Overlord".

As soon as the words fell.

Hermes gripped Van Gufried tightly with both hands, and with a roar from Van Gufried, a torrent of purple and white surged forth, crushing everything in its path with its overwhelming power, and charged unstoppably toward Doflamingo.

"This is impossible."

Doflamingo roared with a ferocious expression as he watched the rapidly approaching torrent.

How can someone be so strong?

I've become so strong, so why, why did they so easily block and shatter my attack? This is practically a denial of all my efforts over the years.

"Shield white line".

Despite the roaring, defense is still necessary.

In an instant, the earth churned, forming a white wall that stood firmly in front of the torrent. At the moment of impact, Doflamingo felt the destructive force of a landslide.

puff! ! !

Blood spurted out.

The sturdy walls began to crack, and Doflamingo, struck by the impact, coughed up blood. If he continued like this, he would directly bear the aftershocks, which was not worth it.

Using the fastest speed he had ever achieved, Doflamingo vanished in a flash.

But when he appeared a few hundred meters away, that chilling feeling enveloped him again. Turning his head to the right, he saw a sinister face in his line of sight, and a fist the size of a sandbag was shining with a blinding light.

"I knew you'd hide."

that moment.

Doflamingo was devastated; a sun completely engulfed him.

boom! ! !

A mushroom cloud rose, the dark clouds with lightning and thunder were blown away, the entire capital was shaken, and Torrebol, far away, was filled with worry.

Only by experiencing it up close can one realize how terrifying that man truly is.

When all the smoke and dust cleared, what appeared before their eyes were mountain ranges. Several powerful attacks had already changed the surrounding landscape. At this moment, Doflamingo was trapped on a mountain, his face contorted and his body covered in blood. Behind his sunglasses, his eyes were filled with ferocity and pain.

This beast defies all reason.

How can such a powerful and destructive move be used frequently in a short period of time? Even without a cooldown, an ordinary body cannot withstand it.

"Jie Jie~"

The figure fell straight down from the sky.

Hermes stood suspended in mid-air in front of Doflamingo, the clear victor, and opened his mouth with sarcastic remarks: "Do you understand? Fighting doesn't need so many fancy moves or useless techniques. Just keep two or three moves at a high level, and the battle is over from the start. Simple and efficient."

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

Doflamingo was furious at that moment.

However, it cannot be denied that what this beast said makes sense. He has many moves, but they seem to be of little use in high-level games, and he doesn't even have the chance to use them.

Oh shit.

It seems we need to focus on developing powerful moves from now on; those useless moves should be phased out.

"You are humiliating me."

Doflamingo coughed up blood, growing angrier the more he thought about it. Was he being spared? Was this some kind of charity?

A sound of breaking air came.

Hermes did not dodge, and looked at Doflamingo with a playful gaze, his flesh pierced by a sharp weapon, accompanied by scalding blood.

Looking down at his chest, he saw a thread as thick as an arm piercing through his back and down to his chest, and blood was flowing uncontrollably from Hermes' mouth.

"Hermes, you've gone too far."

Doflamingo was not happy about the successful sneak attack. Instead, he was so angry that he almost died, because his opponent could have easily dodged it, but he didn't.

This is no longer a simple humiliation.

It is contempt.

despise.

How could someone as arrogant and conceited as him tolerate this!

His lips were trembling at this moment.

"Stay calm, it's just a minor fatal wound."

Hermes also spat out a mouthful of blood, but his perfunctory attitude and frivolous expression were infuriating no matter how you looked at him. Doflamingo was so angry that his eyes turned black.

Hermes' aura suddenly ignited, the threads piercing his body were forcibly shattered, and he reached out and touched his chest, activating his Devil Fruit power. The bowl-sized wound began to shrink and heal.

Then, with the life-restoring system operating at high efficiency, the wound quickly disappeared.

Doflamingo, who was already trembling with anger, became even angrier, and a stroke occurred in his brain.

At the same time, one must feel a profound sense of powerlessness.

If the last defeat was just due to my carelessness, this defeat is real. I thought that by working hard to become stronger over the years, I could easily take down this man.

Unexpectedly, while he was getting stronger, his opponent was also getting stronger, and even stronger than him. The humiliation and helplessness left him with mixed feelings.

Especially since Hermes deliberately didn't dodge, that kind of insult that kills and destroys the spirit is more painful and humiliating than death for an arrogant person. It's a good thing Doflamingo didn't die of anger.

However, the large amounts of blood he was spitting out indicated that Doflamingo's injuries had worsened due to his anger. This sudden double injury was one thing, but the physical damage was relatively easy to heal with medicine.

But how can the emotional damage be healed?

Hermes, you filthy wretch, you beast!!

I'm not dead, hahaha~

There's one more chapter today, but it's a bit late because I'm working hard on writing.

Chapter 220 [Making Friends Everywhere?]

After a brief moment of showing off, Hermes got serious.

"I came to Dressrosa this time for no other reason than to catch up with you. After all, we are old friends, and among the many friends who want to kill me, you are not much of a threat."

So I've come to you for help.

As you know, life isn't all about fighting and killing; it's about understanding human relationships and social dynamics.

"It just so happens that I'm a little short on cash lately, what do you think?"

Hermes twirled his thumb and forefinger back and forth. Although Doflamingo couldn't understand the gesture, he could hear it. He immediately spat out another mouthful of blood, which was nearly three feet high!

Reminiscing about old times?

Longtime friends?

Among his many friends who want to kill him, there aren't many threats? Doesn't that mean he's the weakest?

Relief?

Is this how you get relief after beating yourself half to death?

Grass Mud Ma.

That bitch is so annoying.

This is not how you humiliate someone.

"Don't be so quick to express your dissatisfaction. I understand how you feel. But think about it: at least your life is saved, the Don Quixote family is saved, and you still have a chance for revenge and a comeback."

When you're out in the game, life comes first.

It's only because of you, Doflamingo, that I'm speaking so frankly to you. Anyone else would have been killed with a single punch, and there wouldn't be so much nonsense.
