The most courageous pirate hunter

As you know, sometimes the strong are lonely.

I want to find someone to chat with, to talk to!

Hermes looked melancholy, his red and white eyes reflecting a sense of loneliness and isolation. He didn't know why he had spoken so much to Doflamingo.

Perhaps it's because I'm getting old.

Perhaps it was because we had been at sea for too long.

people.

Always sentimental.

"what do you want."

Doflamingo suppressed his anger and maintained his composure, because Hermes had struck a chord with him: as long as he was alive, there was hope, and the Donquixote Family could not be destroyed; they were his most important family members.

"Rare treasures, money, Devil Fruits—anything goes!"

"You have a scientist named Caesar under your command, right? He's researching artificial Devil Fruits and has even made a deal with my friend Kaido. I came to Dressrosa this time not only to catch up with you, but also to take Caesar away."

Doflamingo was prepared for the first sentence, but the second sentence made his heart skip a beat.

How did this beast know about Caesar, the artificial Devil Fruit, and even make a deal with Kaido?

Most importantly, how did Kaido become this bastard's friend?

Like Whitebeard, one of them went around recognizing sons everywhere, and the other went around recognizing friends everywhere.

"Fufufu~"

"Since you know that Kaido is also involved, then you should understand that Caesar cannot be touched."

"Stop joking around. Is there anyone in this world that I, the King of Hunters, wouldn't dare to touch?"

Hermes' words immediately silenced Doflamingo.

Yes.

Is there anyone in this world that this beast wouldn't dare to mess with?

Kaido has been defeated before.

More than ten minutes later.

On the relatively stable ground, Hermes sat on the back of Van Goghfried, who had transformed into an elephant. Behind them, Bages and the others looked regretful, some standing, some sitting, some deep in thought, and some gazing into the distance, waiting for negotiations.

Mansherry and Alpagachino were not there; it was obvious they had gone to Greenbite.

opposite.

Doflamingo was being pitifully supported by Trebol and others, while Dellinger, Machvise, and others glared angrily at Hermes, wishing they could bite him.

Unfortunately, they are no match for their opponent. Now, they not only have to suppress all hatred, but also have to pay a price to protect their family.

Shame!

It's worse than death.

But Pica isn't here.

"They're all familiar faces!"

Hermes felt a sense of satisfaction watching the people grit their teeth in hatred. He loved seeing them hate him to the extreme, yet unable to do anything about it.

“Baby-5, I need you to come and massage my shoulders.”

Hermes spotted Baby-5 in the crowd. Compared to a few years ago, Baby-5 is now even more beautiful, with 100% uniform allure.

“I am needed.”

One second Baby-5 was seething with hatred for Hermes, the next second she started acting strangely and actually started walking towards Hermes.

This is already beyond saving.

"damn it."

“Baby-5, wake up.”

Buffalo clung tightly to her, his forehead covered in cold sweat. This stupid woman didn't even realize what was going on.

Boom boom boom.

Just then, the ground began to tremble, and Pica, who was not in the group, appeared, accompanied by a considerable amount of gold and silver treasures, worth at least a billion. He must have just gone to retrieve these items.

Since being tricked by Hermes, Doflamingo and his crew have become smarter, burying their family's funds in a remote part of Dressrosa, some 70 or 80 meters underground.

With Pica's abilities, he can easily go seventy or eighty meters underground.

So Hermes' earlier worry that he would wipe out all of Doflamingo's wealth with one punch was completely unnecessary.

"Jie Jie~"

"This is meant to appease a beggar!"

"After all these years, this is all you've earned?"

Hermes withdrew his gaze from Baby-5 and looked at Doflamingo with disdain. Among all the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Doflamingo was definitely number one when it came to making money.

The entire area was covered by Observation Haki.

Hermes began to hear some of these thoughts.

"Hmph, this is just to appease you. We have our money hidden in several places."

"How will you know if we don't tell?"

"There are still large amounts of gold and silver treasures hidden in XXX and XXX places!"

"XX and XX also have a lot of weapons."

"Hilarious! Did you think we'd hide things in one place like we used to?"

"What's going on? Why is this bastard staring at me with such a weird expression?"

Deringer frowned, feeling a little guilty for some reason. He looked away after a second of eye contact with those red-based white eyes, as if he had been seen through.

"Believe it or not, here's the thing: we cooperated with the Beasts Pirates and traded a lot of margin."

Torrepol sniffed.

"Doflamingo, I'll give you one more chance."

Hermes completely ignored Trebol, only glancing indifferently at Doflamingo. If this guy didn't open his heart soon, then he would have no choice but to kill him as a sacrifice.

Doflamingo remained silent, and after exchanging a three-second glance with Hermes, he inexplicably shouted at Pica, "Go and bring all the things from XXX and XXX places here."

"Little Lord."

"Dover?"

Everyone was stunned.

I have absolutely no idea why Doflamingo would submit. After all, as long as they don't talk about it, the Hunter King would never know that they have other treasures.

"Go!"

Doflamingo didn't offer much explanation. When he locked eyes with that beast, he felt as if everything about him had been seen through, and at the same time, he felt a sense of crisis.

This intuition is very strong.

"Jie Jie~"

"Doflamingo, you are a man destined for great things. I almost slaughtered you all just now."

no doubt.

Hermes' words aroused the hatred of the entire Don Quixote family.

But there is more sorrow than anything else.

In the past, when facing other forces, they always acted as superior and powerful, never imagining that the weak could be so humiliated, and that feeling was extremely unpleasant.

Doflamingo remained silent; at this moment, he did not want to say anything.

The nail was already deeply embedded in the flesh.

Nothing can be done.

Before long, Pica brought over gold and silver treasures from two other places, which, together with the previous ones, amounted to at least 3.4 billion Berries, a considerable sum.

"How come there isn't even a single Devil Fruit?"

Hermes was somewhat dissatisfied upon seeing these items, after all, Doflamingo was a well-known fruit wholesaler.

"Unfortunately, it was auctioned off a month ago."

Doflamingo's tone was somewhat angry.

This little bastard is complaining about everything?

Some voices reached his ears, and it turned out that the Devil Fruits had actually been auctioned off. Hermes was speechless, wondering what Doflamingo was thinking. He auctioned off some powerful Devil Fruits while giving his henchmen only some trashy ones.

That's really true.

"Boss, your problem is solved, but this princess's problem is not."

Just when Torrepol and the others thought they were about to pass the test, a streak of light rushed towards them from a great distance. It was Alpagachino and Mansherry. At this moment, Mansherry's small face was cold and full of killing intent.
