The most courageous pirate hunter

That's truly despicable and shameless.

Catching this guy won't be easy; he's too mobile and elusive, making it impossible to analyze his intentions. If we keep chasing him like this, we'll always be one step too late.

It's nothing but a waste of time.

We need to think of a solution.

Little did Shanks know that he didn't need to rush, because he would soon see Hermes again. He was eager to kill Hermes, and Hermes also wanted to teach Shanks a lesson.

Because Hermes, in his social life, can be both generous and petty. If anyone makes him unhappy or obstructs his thoughts, then the other party can also expect to be happy or obstructed.

He never backed down when it came to hurting each other.

Chapter 230 [That old woman is quite enthusiastic]

New world.

A deserted island.

On the golden beach, three figures stood uneasily, facing a group of people eyeing them menacingly. It would be a lie to say they weren't nervous. Fortunately, because of these people, three former colleagues had gathered together within a few days.

"As everyone knows, I cherish talent, so the three of you don't need to be nervous."

Hermes had a kind expression on his face.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they had a very good relationship.

Judge, Caesar, and Quinn all inwardly twitched, unleashing a barrage of curses, none of them repeating the same thing. The curses were quite vulgar, especially from the fat Quinn.

Thanks to Mansherry's treatment, Quinn is now full of energy again.

to be frank.

Quinn was quite surprised to see Judge and Caesar. It had been many years since they last met. When they worked together, they were all talented individuals, and in some fields, they were absolutely number one.

We had all imagined what our reunion would be like, but we never expected it to be like this.

At the same time, there was also some relief, after all, it wasn't just me who was suffering.

That's how people are.

cheap!!!

"The purpose of my inviting the three of you here is very simple: to manufacture this thing. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as the explosive power matches this thing. Even if the power is three or four times less, it doesn't matter."

Hermes paid no attention to the profanities and wild thoughts in the minds of the three men. Instead, he took out a Power Rock, which shimmered with a purplish-red halo under the sunlight.

"Whoosh~"

"Is this a dynamic rock?"

The three of them instinctively took a step back. They all clearly recognized the Power Rock, and that's why they took a step back. After all, this thing is quite powerful and easy to misfire.

"It seems you all know your stuff. So, how long will it take to manufacture a bomb with the same power as this thing? Whatever you're missing, I can get it for you."

Hermes tossed it casually, and Judge and the others' hearts skipped a beat.

"It's hard."

Judge paused for a moment, wanting to negotiate with Hermes.

"Whoosh~ What if we don't want to!"

I don't know what got into Caesar, but he actually asked such a stupid question.

really.

Hermes, Burgess, Judge, and Quinn all looked at Caesar as if he were an idiot; he was a complete moron.

"That's a good question. For a moment, I don't know how to answer it."

Hermes stroked his chin, then said with amusement, "It's probably going to make you wish you were dead. If any of you three are unwilling, you can step forward. It'll be a good opportunity to make an example of you."

"Three months!"

"I'm giving you three months. Either you create a comparable bomb, or I'll skin you alive, one slice at a time."

Hermes held up three fingers, his red-and-white eyes filled with indifference.

Caesar, Judge, and Queen exchanged glances, feeling the capriciousness of fate. It seemed they would have to work together again for a while, which was fucking ridiculous.

"At least six months, at most a year, that's our limit."

After careful consideration, Judge gave his answer.

Quinn and Judge nodded in agreement.

Every bit of time we can buy us is a good thing; at least that way we can live a little longer and find a chance to escape.

"too long."

"It doesn't have to be a kinetic rock. It can be any other bomb. It can be huge or it can be regular. Size doesn't matter. I just need enough destructive power."

"So you only have six months. If there are no results after six months, then I'm sorry."

Seeing Hermes's firm stance, Judge sighed, "We need a lot of technological equipment, and this island is clearly not suitable."

This is clearly a deserted island.

It's a godforsaken place.

The conditions are too poor.

“These are no problem. Just write down what equipment you need, and someone will find it for you.”

"Will we be able to survive if we manufacture them?"

The situation was beyond his control, and Quinn knew that a true man could bend and stretch.

"I am not that son of a bitch from the Warring States period. I still have the most basic integrity. As long as you can produce something that satisfies me, I will not stop you from leaving or staying if you want."

"it is good!!!"

Caesar, who was focused on his research, didn't know much about the rumors surrounding Hermes, but Judge and Queen did. Perhaps the only redeeming quality of the Hunter King was his trustworthiness.

The reputation is pretty good.

So the two of them readily agreed.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree.

Caesar suddenly became clever and did not get hard.

"Don't resist, Guyram!"

Hermes waved his hand, and Guyram stepped out of the group, coming to Judge first. He reached out to touch Judge, which made Judge instinctively wary. However, remembering what Hermes had just said, Judge could only suppress his panic and let Guyram touch him.

"Cube splitting".

Devil Fruit powers are activated.

Before everyone's eyes, Judge's body instantly cracked, turning into tiny cubes, like building blocks, scattered all over the ground in a somewhat horrifying way.

But he is still alive.

I can still feel all parts of my body.

"BOSS."

Guyram picked up a beating cube-shaped heart. Hermes caught it and tossed it around, his eyes filled with admiration. He had only mentioned the development of the Cube Fruit once, but he never expected Guyram to actually develop it.

This move is somewhat similar to a certain ability of the Op-Op Fruit and the Chop-Chop Fruit. Originally, Guyram could only decompose inanimate objects, but after development, he was able to split living objects.

It's very buggy.

Then Guyram continued to activate his ability, and the scattered cube fragments began to perfectly reassemble. Judge returned to normal, but his heart was empty, and you could see from his chest to his back.

"I am alive."

Judge was terrified.

Looking at his empty heart and the beating cube-shaped heart in Hermes' hand, he knew his life was in someone else's hands.

If I'm not mistaken, if the Hunter King crushes that heart, he should die.

soon.

Caesar and Quinn also shattered into pieces with bitter expressions, and when they finally reassembled, their hearts were empty.

"good."

Hermes was very satisfied with the three men's attitude. They seemed to be intelligent and pragmatic, and their presence in the original story was quite strong, proving their worth.

He likes to be friends with smart people like that.

"Set off for the Kingdom of Prodens and take Greenbit to the Sky Island."

ten minutes later.

On the Death Ship.

Hermes looked at Caesar, Quinn, and Judge, who had stepped aside to discuss the matter. They needed to come up with a direction as soon as possible, as well as various materials that would be needed.

"Does the BOSS mean to conduct research on the Sky Island?"
