The most courageous pirate hunter

"not good!"

"What a joke."

The supernovas who had already left the auction and were outside looked back and were so frightened they almost peed their pants. They all began to retreat or resist desperately.

puff! ! !

The three halos connected the beginning and the end, the mushroom cloud continued to expand, all the supernovae screamed and spat blood, and some of their subordinates died on the spot. The entire Sabaody Archipelago seemed to be experiencing an earthquake.

For a while.

The mangrove area where the auction was held has visibly disappeared.

When everything returns to calm, a sinkhole appears. Looking down from above, the Sabaody Archipelago looks like it has been bitten by some primordial beast, a visually stunning sight.

"what happened."

The farthest place.

Kidd lay dying, covered in blood, in the ruins, looking up at the endless sinkhole, his face filled with horror and bewilderment.

Who possesses such terrifying power?

The other directions.

Some supernovas vomited blood repeatedly, but they were all barely alive, though they were all on the verge of death and no longer as arrogant and energetic as they had been at the beginning.

It has to be said that these guys are quite capable.

They are, after all, the mainstream of the future, and the supporting characters with many scenes, whether they were lucky or just tough, they survived this wave of turmoil.

"That's~"

Buzz!

The atmosphere began to vibrate. Bonnie gazed at the sinkhole and could see a figure slowly rising from it, gradually beginning to burn with purple-white flames, and a halo of light began to rise behind its head.

Her flame-shaped white hair swayed with the sparks, and her red-based white eyes gazed down at the bottom of the sinkhole. A scarlet spider lily adorned her bare upper body.

"It can't be wrong."

"That is....."

"The world's most courageous man, the leader of the Monarch organization with a bounty of six billion Berries, Hermes Jormungandr, the King of Hunters!!!"

Everyone gasped.

Immediately someone screamed.

Why would such a terrifying person appear here?

Without a doubt, the explosion was caused by this man.

"meet again."

Barrett was slightly disheveled, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He looked at Hermes above the sinkhole with a fighting spirit on his face, but he did not act immediately.

Like Barrett, Baroque, positioned in the other direction, also had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. The two were so close that the impact he suffered was only slightly weaker than Rayleigh's.

I still have to wait for the four chapters I owe. I don't have any drafts saved up. I also have some other things to take care of, like I got bitten by a dog and need to get a rabies vaccine.

Damn it.

Extremely expensive.

Damn it, what the hell! MMP!!!

Chapter 253 [Beating up Rayleigh, the King of the Underworld]

"Is this the legendary King of Hunters? The most courageous man to usher in a new era of great rise?"

"You can feel that sense of oppression even from this distance."

"But why is the King of Hunters here? Judging from his appearance, he seems to be fighting someone!"

To meet such an important person.

Luo and his companions were both wary and excited.

Although they were still weak, they were all arrogant and proud. Before this, they had not taken the so-called Pirate King and those legends seriously at all, because in their minds, these people would be replaced by them in the future.

But only those who have actually experienced it know how terrifying those legends are.

This can be seen as a way to kick the habit of being a king in advance, suppress one's arrogance, and learn how cruel society can be, so that one can develop properly for a period of time in the future.

call out! ! !

Just as everyone was wondering who the Hunter King was fighting, a skyward slash rose from the sinkhole, but the Hunter King easily dodged it.

Immediately afterwards, a figure jumped out and stood on the edge of the sinkhole, covered in blood and panting heavily, holding a tree branch in his hand, which was wrapped with super high Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki.

This is an advanced application of Armament Haki, capable of altering the form of weapons.

Rayleigh does have some skills.

"hiss!"

"It's Rayleigh, the King of the Underworld."

"The right arm of the Pirate King."

"What's going on? Why is the King of Hunters clashing with Rayleigh, the King of Darkness?"

Overtly and covertly.

Many survivors or newcomers were startled and unsure of what to do with the two people facing off in the sinkhole, as neither of them were ordinary people.

"The King of Hunters, Rayleigh, the Dark Lord, the Lone Red, and the Devil's Heir—how come so many important figures are here on Sabaody Archipelago? What day is it today?"

"Damn it, I can't even get close."

“It’s so depressing.”

Many of the spectators looked solemn.

"Most of the area has disappeared; we don't know how many people have died."

"This is the battle of top-tier experts; they can easily change the landscape or even destroy an island."

"Do you really think that redrawing the map when the Hunter Kings are fighting is a joke?"

"If we count the islands that disappeared in the hands of the Hunter King, there are at least ten or twenty!"

"Whole Cake Island, Onigashima, Sabaody Archipelago, Impel Down—these are the strongholds of the Four Emperors and the Navy, haven't they all been visited by the Hunter Emperor? Looking at the past, present, and future, who can do that?"

"He truly deserves to be my idol."

In other areas, many people were holding binoculars, and most of them were excited and admiring.

After all, just a few years ago they were ordinary people with no power to resist, but with the rise of the Hunter King, they now have the power to resist and are no longer so weak.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

"We meet again, you old man!"

Above the sinkhole.

Hermes drew the Van Gufried sword from his waist, and a purple-white aura began to flow around its blade. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Rayleigh with a cold and sharp gaze.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Barrett and Lone Red watching, which made Hermes feel uneasy because he was unsure whether the two would interfere.

It's important to know that Rayleigh was once Barrett's first mate, so he must have had some connections with him. Based on that relationship, Barrett probably wouldn't let himself get rid of Rayleigh.

As for the solitary red, it was also based on personal preference.

Most importantly, those old guys were both enemies and friends; their friendships were forged through fighting.

Even mortal enemies will proudly believe that they must kill the other, and they absolutely cannot watch their opponent die at the hands of others. After all, they have been enemies for so many years, and what they are fighting for is a matter of winning or losing and a matter of thought.

Don't disbelieve it.

Because most of these old people are mentally ill, and have particularly stubborn and abnormal personalities.

A typical example is that old bastard Shiki, who simply didn't believe Roger had been captured by the Navy, so he went to Marineford alone, only to be defeated by Garp and Sengoku and imprisoned in Impel Down, where he lost both legs and became disabled.

Their strength has also been greatly reduced.

It was entirely their own fault.

He was truly foolish, truly arrogant, and truly charming, but in Hermes' eyes, he was only foolish.

He would never do something so stupid.

An enemy is an enemy; we must eliminate them all. There's no time for jokes and laughter.

"Jormungandr, you deserve to die!"

Rayleigh was so angry he almost exploded, and he couldn't help but spit out blood. He had never wanted to kill anyone so much, and his mental defenses completely crumbled.

Xiao Ba was his friend, but he could only watch helplessly as Xiao Ba died. In that short time, he couldn't protect Xiao Ba at all, since he was seriously injured himself.

"There are plenty of people who want my life, who do you think you are?"
