The most courageous pirate hunter

"King's Iron Block".

Hermes did not dodge. He mustered all his strength, his chest swelling like steel, intending to take the blow from the Explosive Rabbit head-on. His posture was undeniably arrogant.

boom! ! !

A tremendous roar resounded as claws and chest met in a solid kiss. Hermes' arrogant expression gradually faded, and the next moment, his body was clenched in a fist, blood spurting from his mouth. He lost control and was sent flying, rolling on the ground.

Boom Boom Rabbit also took two steps back, its right hand trembling slightly.

The pain emanating from the claws was a testament to the astonishing defensive capabilities of this brat.

"Cough cough cough...."

"Damn, no wonder it's a sure-fire technique."

My chest is burning with pain.

Hermes got up from the ground, spat out the blood in his mouth, and looked down to see that his face was covered in bruises. Fortunately, his bones were not broken and he had not suffered any internal injuries.

They barely managed to hold on.

My defenses were almost breached.

Overall, Hermes was quite satisfied. His Iron Block technique was only at a beginner level, and it could be a life-saving skill in a pinch. Someone who didn't know Iron Block might have already died, but he could still survive and even turn the tide of battle.

It can be described as a sure-fire technique, or it can be described as a life-saving technique.

If you train your Iron Block skill to a high level, standing here and being attacked by Boom Rabbit won't be a problem.

I'm just too incompetent.

"Is this just enough strength?"

Hermes beckoned with his finger and looked at Boom Bunny with extreme contempt, which made Boom Bunny so angry that its two long ears stood up and all its gray fur bristled.

"I'm going to tear you to pieces."

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered.

Boom Bunny charged out violently, its two huge front teeth gleaming coldly.

A cold light came from the right. Hermes blocked it with a knee strike and his fingers tensed as he unleashed a lightning bolt. However, the Exploding Rabbit reacted quickly and blocked it with its two large front teeth.

Sparks flew, but the two large front teeth were completely unharmed.

Boom Bunny then swung its claw at Hermes again. Hermes remained calm as the gust of wind swept towards it. It used its Observation Haki to predict the trajectory, raised its hand to intercept the attack, and then kicked Boom Bunny hard in the chest.

A muffled sound.

Unable to control itself, the Boom Bunny shot out, crashing into a roadside takoyaki stall and rolling around inside.

"What a clumsy rabbit."

Before Boombunny could even get up, Hermes rushed over, raised his right foot, and kicked out with all his might, hitting Boombunny squarely in the kidneys. With a scream, Boombunny rolled away again.

When dealing with Zoan-type characters, the key is to relentlessly attack them.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to cause real harm.

Repeat the old trick.

Hermes gave chase, but the Exploding Rabbit had become clever and, despite the pain, bit Hermes' foot with its sharp teeth. If it had bitten him, Hermes might have been crippled.

Therefore, Hermes did not accept it.

But this gave Boom Rabbit an opportunity. It lashed out with its claws at Hermes' groin, its fierce and menacing appearance a clear sign of its rage.

"what happened."

Exploding Rabbit's bloodthirsty and ferocious face froze in surprise, because the other party had disappeared.

It vanished into thin air right before our eyes.

Before he could react, Hermes, who had disappeared, reappeared instantly and kicked him in the chin. With a crack, the Exploding Rabbit screamed and flew away, crashing into a roadside stall before rolling on the ground and howling in pain.

Just a moment ago, Hermes used the Mini-Mini Fruit to shrink by five millimeters to dodge the Bomb Rabbit's attack, and then instantly returned to his normal size to launch a counterattack.

That kick was hard.

Boom Bunny got up from the ground, its jaw was dislocated, but its teeth were very strong and showed no signs of loosening.

"Kid, who are you?!"

With red eyes, Boom Rabbit straightened his chin and frantically tried to match Hermes' identity in his mind, but he couldn't find a match no matter how hard he tried.

When did the capital city get such a powerful young brat?

"Hermes Jormungandr is currently making a living as a pirate hunter."

Hermes tilted his head slightly and looked down, brushing his stray hairs upwards with one hand to create a short, slicked-back hairstyle, instantly giving him a more imposing presence.

"Jormungandr?"

Exploding Rabbit frowned, having never heard of it before.

However, the profession of pirate hunter infuriated him. Damn it, he was a gangster, a violent group, not a pirate!

That person is just wasting their time.

"I'm a gangster, not a pirate. Or has your violent group offended you in some way?"

It has been confirmed.

The other party is very difficult to deal with, and I can't defeat them in a short time, so Explosive Rabbit decides to back down.

"Your rabbit head is very valuable, and I happen to be short of money."

Hermes didn't waste any more words; giving his name was merely a means to gain fame more quickly.

After saying that, he rushed towards Boom Boom Rabbit.

"asshole."

Hermes' actions thoroughly enraged Exploding Rabbit, who had no intention of reconciliation and had come after him from the very beginning.

Since that's the case, we have no choice but to fight with all our might.

"kill!!!"

They collided violently and began to fight.

Relying on his Zoan-type Devil Fruit ability, Bomb Rabbit is offensively oriented, and as long as he doesn't suffer a fatal injury, he can withstand attacks for a period of time.

Hermes is not bad either; his overall strength is quite balanced.

It has Finger Pistol for attack, King Iron Body for defense (a sure-defeating technique), Observation Haki for dodging, not to mention the Mini Fruit that it hasn't used much.

Here.

Someone has already informed Boom Wolf, and at the same time, the people sent by the eldest prince in the tavern have also spread the news to the palace.

Some onlookers relayed the news of someone attacking Boom Bunny back to their respective factions, and in no time, the name Hermes Jormungandr began to enter the sights of various factions in the capital.

"King's Iron Block".

Hermes's defenses bulged as it took another hit from the Boom Rabbit. Blood spilled from its mouth as it thrust out a finger gun. With a scream from the Boom Rabbit, blood spurted from its right eye, and it went blind.

"I'm going to kill you, kill you!"

Boom Boom Rabbit has gone mad.

It transformed from a humanoid form into a full-fledged beast form, its fur bristling and growing to five meters tall. Its sharp claws gleamed with a cold light, and its ferocious aura was unlike that of a herbivore, but rather that of a carnivore.

"Get bigger!"

Hermes was not frightened by the imposing size.

With a thought.

Hermes, who was of normal size, suddenly grew to ten meters in size, which stunned the crazed Explosive Rabbit. He had to look up at Hermes, whose entire huge body was obscured by Hermes' shadow.

"You are also a Devil Fruit user."

Exploding Rabbit looked horrified.

But the answer he received was a fist the size of an iron pot, the kind of large iron pot that roared through the air with overwhelming force.

Bang!

The floor beneath Boom Bunny's feet shattered, and he crossed his arms to block the giant fist, gritting his teeth to hold on. Big size doesn't mean big strength.

But reality is somewhat cruel.

Hermes suddenly shrinks to one meter again. The sudden release of force causes Boom Rabbit to lose control and fall forward. Hermes, now one meter tall, is in the perfect position, and his finger gun strikes Boom Rabbit between the legs like a sharp arrow.

"Ow!!!!"

Heart-wrenching screams formed sound waves, rising high in rows.

Those watching from the surrounding area instinctively clenched their legs, their eyes filled with horror.

Only men can understand that blissful feeling.

This attack directly broke the defense of the Boom Bunny.

Instinctively covering his vulnerable spot with both hands, he was unable to withstand Hermes' second round of attacks. With a pain in his throat, Boom Bunny's eyes widened and his whole body convulsed.

Coo coo coo...
