The most courageous pirate hunter

So, after all this time, although we've never met, we're already enemies.

Hehe~

Of course.

Since its inception, the Imperial Organization has been in business. One thing at a time, the customer is God. As long as there is a reward that tempts this Emperor, I would accept it even if it meant blowing up the moon.

So what can you offer in return?

Hermes' words left the entire Whitebeard Pirates stunned.

Chapter 278 [Whitebeard: My IQ is Online]

Was Ace Roger's son?

Are they already enemies of Monarch?

However, the King of Hunters is truly fearless. You wouldn't know until you heard about it that he has so many enemies. If you include Kaido, Big Mom, Shiki, and the Marines, he is truly an enemy of the world.

"Dad, Ace really is..."

All eyes turned to the white-bearded man.

It can be seen that when Hermes revealed Ace's identity, Whitebeard's calm face darkened. How did the other party know?

There's no way that old man Garp would tell anyone.

He is even less likely to be.

However, Ace was involved with quite a few related forces.

Faced with a sea of ​​gazes, Whitebeard said nothing, but nodded. After receiving confirmation, everyone was astonished, as the news was quite shocking.

They never imagined that Roger would have any descendants left in the world.

The key point is that they're giving the child to Garp to raise—what kind of move is this?

He then joined the Whitebeard Pirates and became the son of Whitebeard, the leader of the Revolutionary Army Monkey D. Dragon, and also the younger brother of Ace. Holy crap, he connected several forces all at once.

Those who hear it for the first time will immediately think of a conspiracy.

Because all of this is too bizarre, how could there be so many coincidences? It's filled with the smell of conspiracy and manipulation from head to toe.

"How did you know."

Whitebeard's voice deepened, sounding like he was questioning someone, or perhaps expressing curiosity.

However, the fact that the Hunter King has made it clear means that he is willing to accept this job, which is good news. Whitebeard is afraid that with the Hunter King's current status, wealth, fame, money, and women are all within easy reach.

He couldn't think of anything that could attract the other person.

"Jie Jie~"

"That is my secret."

"If you want me to rescue the enemy, the price you'll have to pay will be far more than a little."

Hermes pinched his chin, his red-and-white eyes brimming with cunning.

In fact, he could have refused. Just as Whitebeard thought, with his current status, what couldn't he get?

The original intention of establishing the Monarchy organization has changed over time, or rather, as they have become stronger, many of their goals and things have changed.

The reason he wanted to accept the Whitebeard Pirates' request was also because the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

He had long ago decided to intervene in the Marineford War, not for any other reason than to make things difficult for the Navy, and he was willing to put aside any minor grievances.

Once we've dealt with the deep-seated hatred towards the navy, then we can settle those minor grudges.

Things should be prioritized based on their importance and urgency.

One should also have a broad perspective in life.

After all, their enmity with the Whitebeard Pirates was entirely due to the relationship between Ace and Luffy, and it was nothing compared to the Navy.

Damn it.

If we cooperate with Whitebeard, we might be able to kill that bastard Sengoku in one fell swoop.

That beast has lived far too long.

A wise man does not speak secretly.

In Hermes's list of hated figures, Sengoku is absolutely number one. Kaido, Shiki, Rayleigh, and Garp are just minor figures and not comparable at all.

"Wealth, women, and power are not issues for you, so just tell me what you want."

Even the white-bearded man knew how to do it.

Ordinary things are definitely not what the other party is looking for.

"Jie Jie~"

"Fifty billion, five Devil Fruits, and in addition, you have to join forces with me during the war to take down that son of a bitch, Sengoku. If you agree to these three conditions, I can guarantee that I can rescue Portgas D. Ace, 100% certain."

Hermes didn't beat around the bush either.

The first two were just additional conditions; the last one was what he truly wanted.

Without that phone call, Hermes wouldn't have had any hope of killing Sengoku. After all, this was Marineford, surrounded by a bunch of powerful figures, and Sengoku himself was a top-tier powerhouse.

The chances of a one-on-one kill are extremely slim.

It must be a 2V1 or 3V1 match of the same level; only in this way can you have an absolute chance of winning.

Of course.

Alternatively, they could use the same trick again, having Bruno open the door and pull Sengoku into another dimension, then all the Imperial organizations would swarm in, but who knows if that method would still work.

We need to prepare several plans.

Anyway, it's all something that comes easily.

As a second choice.

Even if they couldn't defeat Sengoku, cripple him, or kill other top naval personnel, like that bastard Kuzan, they never had a chance to properly deal with him.

Hermes had not forgotten how he had almost died at the hands of his opponent.

I'll take care of them all at once this time.

"Kula la~"

"One hundred percent certainty?"

Whitebeard laughed heartily, thinking Hermes was too confident.

They're not afraid of being proven wrong.

"When I do business, I always pay upon delivery. If I can't rescue Portgas D. Ace, then I'll pretend I didn't say those three conditions. But if I do rescue Portgas D. Ace, and you, Whitebeard, try to do what Sengoku did, I'll show you what hell on earth is like."

Hermes’ words were chilling.

It's practically a blatant threat.

People with integrity often lack integrity.

"Even with my white beard, I still have my pride."

"If you rescue Ace, I will fulfill these three conditions even if it means my death."

Whitebeard ignored Hermes' threat and readily agreed.

"very good!"

"Wait patiently for ten days."

The Den Den Mushi hung up.

Everyone on the Moby Dick looked at each other. Had they already reached an agreement with Monarch?

The Hunter King was quite arrogant, claiming he would definitely rescue Ace.

That's Marineford, the Navy's headquarters.

"Jormungandr's words reminded me!"

“Ace’s identity has both good and bad aspects. We should take advantage of it now. I believe those old guys will definitely take action once they find out, after all, he is Roger’s only bloodline.”

Whitebeard tossed the Den Den Mushi to Marco, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"What does Dad mean?"

Vista considered a possibility: Roger was the only one who died in the Roger Pirates, but the others were still alive. It was just that he hadn't heard those familiar names for many years in the vast ocean.

Perhaps some are already dead, and some are old, but even if just one of them gets involved, it will increase the chances of victory.

"There should still be some members of the Roger Pirates alive; they won't die so easily."

"But Dad, do you have a way to contact me?"

“I do have Rayleigh’s.”

Marco and the others were dumbfounded. How did their father still have Rayleigh's contact information?
