The most courageous pirate hunter

However, Hermes has a second option: to take drugs or use kinetic rocks. In any case, he is inherently invincible, and he will never be the one to suffer a loss.

"Elbaf Spear - Overlord".

Fall from the sky.

As if the world were being created, Hermes swung his Vanguslid, and in a torrent that ripped through eardrums, the earth crumbled and split apart, causing a magnitude 10 earthquake.

The entire cake island seemed to be shaking.

All fighting in the far distance has ceased, because Hermes went too far.

All the Charlotte family members were on edge, even Burgess and the others couldn't help but worry for Big Mom, as this fighting style was just too underhanded.

Crash.

Ten minutes passed.

A large amount of seawater gushed forth from the abyss. Hermes looked down, his Observation Haki covering the entire area. His expression gradually became surprised, and then his red-and-white eyes were filled with astonishment and a little disbelief.

The intense heat is causing it to expand.

A large amount of seawater evaporated, forming smog. A devilish figure could be vaguely seen in it. Big Mom still had energy left. Although it looked terrible, her posture was admirable.

"Mmmmmm~"

The laughter was intermittent, and he kept coughing up blood.

In fact, Big Mom was seriously injured; none of her internal organs were intact. However, upon closer inspection, it appears that Big Mom's internal organs seem to have come to life.

This old woman had the ingenious idea of ​​infusing her own organs with souls in order to achieve a therapeutic effect, and judging from the way she did it, she was even consuming her own life force.

Anyone who isn't blind can see that Big Mom's body shape is off.

At the cost of one's lifespan?

"It's just a dying struggle."

Hermes took a deep breath, and the purple-white flames surrounding him expanded, while sparks flew everywhere, and his normal size once reached three millimeters.

The air exploded.

When Hermes appeared, he was already behind Big Mom. However, Big Mom seemed to have been prepared, as the surrounding space was densely filled with flashing lightning and flames, leaving almost no blind spots.

"The domain blossoms."

The powerful impact caused Zeus and Prometheus to scream as their ferocious forms were instantly reduced to miniature sizes, reverting them to their original forms.

However, at this moment, Big Mom also found an opportunity. Just as her domineering aura dissipated, she gripped Napoleon and cleaved her way towards Hermes.

It was completely ineffective.

Because Hermes was only three millimeters tall at the moment, he appeared behind Big Mom before she could even observe, quickly reaching out to touch Big Mom's scarred body.

"Increased damage."

Devil Fruit powers are activated.

Big Mom's wounds began to enlarge, and blood splattered up to three feet high. Big Mom roared, and her Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki surged, effectively counteracting Hermes's enlarged wounds.

In that critical moment, Big Mom retaliated with a punch that struck Hermes squarely, instantly turning Hermes into a beam of light that pierced through mountains.

puff~

Fresh blood gushed out uncontrollably.

Unable to press her advantage, Big Mom knelt on one knee, supporting Napoleon with one hand. Her pale face was filled with pain. Even with the healing effect of giving each body a soul, she still could not recover to normal in a short time.

She needs time.

Moreover, their lifespan is rapidly dwindling.

Hermes' previous combo attack had dealt her a tremendous amount of damage.

another side.

Hermes emerged from the mountain as if nothing had happened, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled contemptuously, and then flashed back to appear in front of Big Mom.

His defense is equally strong.

With a sweeping kick, Big Mom could only barely lift Napoleon to resist. No matter how angry she was, she had to buy herself some time to recover, otherwise she would have no chance of winning.

We underestimated our opponent.

Chapter 240 [In short, not a single one of them is any good]

"Stop making futile struggles."

"With me here, you can't get through."

A whip kick came flying, accompanied by Lucci's cold voice. Katakuri's eyes flashed red as he accurately blocked it, while simultaneously throwing a punch at Lucci's abdomen.

However, Lucci was no pushover either. He had already exhausted all his strength, and his paper drawing combined with his Observation Haki caused his body to react automatically, much like Hermes' Ultra Instinct.

At first, Lucci suffered a setback due to Katakuri's precognition, as evidenced by the injuries he sustained. However, his regenerative abilities were so extraordinary that he is now safe and sound.

In comparison, Katakuri suffered more severe injuries.

Previously, he wanted to go and support Big Mom, but he was caught off guard and Lucci found an opening, which led to a series of attacks that almost decided the outcome of the battle.

He only managed to create distance after paying a considerable price; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Cough cough cough!!"

Katakuri coughed.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as he unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, but it had no effect on Lucci.

"That man is terrifying. No one will fare well against him. Even if you go, it won't make any difference. So you should think of a way to defeat me!"

Watching Katakuri's disheveled and cold figure, Lucci disappeared.

"Then I'll take care of you."

Katakuri snorted coldly, and the surrounding area of ​​several hundred meters turned into glutinous rice as he began to go all out.

As Lucci said, he can't get away until he's defeated.

The two exchanged blows, and the battle intensified once again.

While Katakuri possesses the ability to foresee the future, Lucci's evasive abilities, similar to Ultra Instinct, are equally formidable. Coupled with his awakened Devil Fruit, Life Return, and other abilities, he is practically an indestructible perpetual motion machine.

Even if it's just dragging things out, it can still bring down Katakuri.

But the worst and most dangerous thing was just beginning. Big Mom was being targeted by Hermes, which meant that Burgess had to withdraw.

"Hahaha~"

"Unlimited Strength - Boxing".

Between the electric light and flint.

Katakuri, who was clashing with Lucci, suddenly saw a glimpse of the future in his red eyes: the fighting champion Gizas Burgess, with a bounty of 1.11 billion Berries, was coming down almost without warning.

"Damn it."

We absolutely cannot withstand this blow.

Katakuri immediately abandoned the collision and chose to dodge, while half of his body turned into mochi. Even so, he still grazed the edge, spitting blood as he was sent flying.

That domineering aura!

unusual.

"Huh, it actually managed to dodge my sneak attack. It seems this is the ability to foresee the future using Observation Haki!"

Bages landed on the ground.

He clearly knew a lot about Katakuri's situation, and it was obvious that he learned it from Hermes, who often discussed current affairs with everyone.

Basically, all the powerful figures on the high seas have been analyzed.

“That’s my goal.”

Lucci was covered in steam and sparks, dark flames swirling around his shoulders, and his long, thin tail swaying back and forth, clearly displeased with Burgess's interference.

"Weihaha, you've wasted too much time."

"We've had our fill of fun."

"Finish your get off work early and leave early."

Burgess embroidered his biceps back and forth.

"You've lost sight of your goal!"

Lucci spat, making no attempt to hide Burgess's shamelessness.

Oh shit.

There wasn't a single decent person in the Imperial Organization; they lacked even the most basic integrity. Sometimes, he was ashamed to associate with them.

Little did he know that when he was still in CP9, he was also a ruthless man who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. In a word, the eldest brother is no different from the second brother; they are the same kind of people.

Anyway, nothing good.
