The most courageous pirate hunter

There was no time to ponder why Captain Roger entrusted his bloodline to Garp instead of to them.

He had to participate in this war.

As for whether Whitebeard would use this to deceive him, that's completely impossible.

Everyone knows each other well. Whitebeard's personality and temperament are such that he would never do such a despicable thing. If it weren't for Ace, he's sure Whitebeard would never have asked for help.

Even knowing the outcome is death.

This is the pride and self-respect of their older generation of strong individuals.

"I understand!"

Rayleigh took a deep breath, his heart filled with joy.

He truly hadn't expected that Roger's bloodline still existed in this world; if only he had known sooner.

"We still need the other members of the Roger Pirates. Can you contact them?"

"I'm not sure, but I can give it a try."

Rayleigh's expression turned serious. He hadn't been in contact with those guys for many years, and he didn't even know if they were alive or dead, but this time he had to make the trip.

I'm willing to risk my reputation.

I believe they would be just as excited as he was if they knew the captain still had descendants.

"Then please."

Marco breathed a sigh of relief when the Den Den Mushi hung up.

Thank you for this.

After expressing his gratitude to Hancock, Marco soared into the sky and disappeared into the clouds, leaving Hancock and her companions with uncertain feelings.

This is going to be difficult.

Fire Fist Ace, who was originally unrelated, suddenly became connected.

Even if we don't care about Buddha, we have to care about Rayleigh. So what should we do next?

Hancock fell into deep thought.

Chapter 281 [Poisoning in Marineford]

night.

The scenery on the floating islands was even more enchanting, and the starry sky felt so close.

The group sat together for dinner. Hermes sat at the head of the table, looking at the recent news reports about the Navy mobilizing troops and the Whitebeard Pirates disappearing without a trace.

The Red-Haired Pirates' territory was seized by the Beasts and Big Mom Pirates.

There are also other renowned pirate crews, kingdoms, and so on.

News of supernovae also comes from time to time.

There were also some entertainment news items, one of which caught Hermes' attention.

"The world's largest entertainment city, Guran Tezolo, has appeared in the waters of the New World Makkapakka."

As expected.

This must be the city of the Golden Emperor, the richest man in the world. Rumor has it that he owns 20% of the world's Beli, has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, and can manipulate the Celestial Dragons and even use the power of the World Government through his money.

He was still the golden emperor of the underworld.

It can be interpreted as Jormungandr becoming the world's richest man simply by capturing this man.

It has great potential.

It's time for the Monarchy organization to replenish its ranks with fresh blood.

He absolutely denied that he was after the other person's wealth, but only wanted to show some care.

"Boss, what's the plan for action two days from now?"

Hody Jones tore into the meat leg and looked at Hermes at the head of the table. The BOSS had mentioned a plan, but no one knew what it was. They didn't have many power rocks.

Before the little boy was developed, those were things that could save lives.

Or are we just going to go all out this time?

"We definitely can't make a grand entrance; that way we can't outmaneuver Sengoku or maximize our profits."

Hermes put down the newspaper, his face full of confidence.

Seeing all the eyes looking at him, Hermes had no choice but to reveal everything: "This time I plan to go deep into the lion's den. You just need to wait for my signal in the other dimension."

"The primary objective was to assassinate the Warring States period."

"Going deep into the tiger's den? Isn't that too risky?"

Mansherry blinked her big eyes. She knew this man's heart would race. Most people would never expect Hermes to infiltrate Marineford beforehand and ambush so many experts.

Danger and opportunity coexist.

According to Hermes, if this were to succeed, Sengoku would undoubtedly perish.

"It's all about the thrill."

"They were all minor incidents."

Hermes gestured for calm, then continued reading the newspaper and asked, "What do you think of this Golden Emperor?"

"Golden Emperor?"

Guyram took the newspaper, read it, and then passed it on to the next person until everyone had read it.

"Boss, you want to recruit this guy?"

"The richest person in the world?"

"He has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds."

Hermes's thoughts were self-evident, and Lucci and the others understood them.

"With this idea in mind, it's time for the Monarchy to replenish its ranks with some fresh blood, and I think he's a perfect fit."

Are you sure you're not after their money?

Mansherry looked on with suspicion.

"What are you saying? Do you think I'm such a vulgar person?"

"That's decided. After the war, we'll go and deal with this guy, and while we're at it, see if we can find any news about 'Pure Gold'."

Hermes rolled his eyes, not wanting to waste any more words with Mansherry.

soon.

There is only one day left until the execution of Fire Fist Ace.

The whole world had already turned its attention to this place, and in the dead of night, two audacious individuals prepared to infiltrate the new Marine Fendo.

"Boss, I'm starting to panic."

In a different space.

Bruno looked at the naval personnel coming and going outside, all dressed in full gear and with serious expressions. The area was brightly lit, and this must be the large square in front of the headquarters building.

That's right.

Hermes and Bruno had already sneaked in unnoticed.

"Calm down."

"We are in another dimension. If we are discovered, we can only accept our bad luck."

Hermes wasn't sure if there was any outside help in the Navy that could counter Bruno's Door-Door Fruit. Logically, the chances of that were extremely small, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

So it's somewhat risky.

No wonder Bruno was a little panicked. If they were discovered, they would at least be ganged up on by the Fleet Admiral, Zephyr, Garp, Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Tsuru.

Those two alone are definitely doomed.

"Fine!"

Bruno was also on the verge of tears. From the moment he was forcibly joined the Monarchy, both Lucci and Bruno knew that they were risking their lives.

Following this crazy man, it felt like I would see my great-grandmother any moment from now.

We've gotten used to it.

"Let's go check the kitchen first and see if there's an opportunity to poison it."

Hermes is utterly shameless. His infiltration of Marineford was nothing short of a hindrance to the Navy. He's as insidious as he can be, and drugging is undoubtedly the simplest and most effective method.

He brought a whole bunch of random things, including laxatives and poisons.

"It should be over there."

After roughly finding a direction, the two groped their way forward in the alternate dimension.
