The most courageous pirate hunter

The execution platform and headquarters building have disappeared, and the large square is full of torn cracks and raised crust, the landscape has been shattered into pieces.

"Jie Jie~"

Unrestrained, maniacal laughter echoed through the sky.

Above the crater, a figure slowly rose.

A purple-white flame began to burn from head to toe, eventually enveloping the entire body. A halo of light rose behind the head, resembling rolling ripples of clouds. Sparks occasionally flashed and exploded across the body, and the upper body was bare, revealing scarlet spider lilies.

His white, flame-shaped hair and red-based white eyes exuded an air of untamed arrogance and unbridled spirit.

A violent aura radiated throughout the entire area.

At this moment, Hermes is a god.

"That beast did show up, but I never expected it to be in this way."

Doflamingo and Hancock were somewhat disheveled; the aftershocks of the previous incident had been quite significant. Looking at the laughing figure, their eyes were filled with fear and resentment.

The trauma this man inflicted on them will never heal.

"Whoo~"

"Was she rescued?"

Whitebeard, Marco, and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They could only say that Ace truly lived up to his reputation as the world's bravest man, having actually managed to rescue him. As long as Ace was not in mortal danger, they would have the upper hand in the upcoming battle.

"How did that bastard end up there?"

Rayleigh's face was sinister; he had no idea about the deal between Whitebeard and Hermes.

It would be more troublesome for Ace to fall into the hands of the enemy than for him to fall into the hands of the Navy.

"Oh my God!"

"The King of Hunters has appeared!"

"Given the grudges between the Hunter King and the Navy, this war was bound to happen, but I never expected it to be in this way, hidden within the Navy itself."

"Truly worthy of being called the most courageous man in the world, so audacious and reckless."

"The Navy would never have imagined this."

Is this what they mean by "blind spots under the lamp"?

Chapter 290 [The Warring States Period Ends]

"Warring States!"

"damn it."

Inside the large pit.

Two of the Five Elders and Steel Bone Kong appeared, looking at Sengoku, whose face was contorted with rage and blood was flowing from his seven orifices. His life force was rapidly fading away, and even the blessing of the Mythical Beast could not reverse it.

Because the injuries were too severe.

His heart was pierced, his internal organs were shattered by Armament Haki, and finally he took a solid hit from an AOE attack—the kind of full-power King's Fist.

At that crucial moment, Sengoku had already been severely injured, and with the finishing blow of the King's Fist, half of his body was maimed, and fragments of his intestines or lungs could be seen spraying around him.

His right arm had completely disappeared, and only the bone of his face remained.

"Cuckoo~"

Sengoku was not dead yet. His only remaining bloodshot eye was fixed on Hermes, who was laughing madly in mid-air. He had considered many possibilities, but he never expected Hermes to disguise himself as the executioner so early.

Neither he nor Capzefa noticed.

What a misstep that will lead to eternal regret.

He made a fatal mistake, thinking that with himself, Garp, Zeff, the two Five Elders, and Cyborg Kong, victory was assured, and that even if Hermes came, he would die.

hateful.

Not reconciled.

He had not yet witnessed a naval victory.

"Warring States."

Garp, Zephyr, and Tsuru all rushed over, their eyes reddening at the sight of Sengoku's miserable state. They knew that Sengoku was beyond saving, even though Tsuru tried her best to use the Wash-Wash Fruit to cleanse his injuries, Sengoku's life force was still rapidly fading away.

"Jörmungandr!!!"

It was like a final burst of energy before death.

Sengoku was hysterical, his eyes wide with rage as he stared at Hermes, shouting out the name in despair. Then he gradually stopped breathing, and even in death, his eye remained fixed on Hermes.

died.

A legendary figure, a dignified marshal of the Warring States period, died just like that.

Everything happened so fast, it was unbelievable.

"The Admiral is dead."

"The war had only just begun when the Warring States period, which had been the mastermind behind it all, was already over."

"Is the Navy destined to be destroyed by the Hunter King?"

People seemed to recall many years ago.

At that time, the King of Hunters was just beginning to show his talent and was still doing his job as a pirate hunter. I don't know what Sengoku was thinking, but he broke his promise and betrayed him.

It's one thing to double-cross someone, but to make matters worse, the Hunter King escaped.

Then the navy began its decline.

Who could have imagined that the King of Hunters would be so vindictive, turning against the Navy and the World Government over such a small matter and embarking on a bloody path of revenge?

No one could have imagined that the King of Hunters back then would reach such a level, becoming almost the number one in the world.

"Ugh...."

"I never expected the Fleet Admiral to die like this."

"He brought this on himself!"

Some outsiders lamented that it was still hard to accept, as the Warring States period had faded away far too quickly.

Those are the strongest at the very top of the pyramid.

"Jormungandr, you deserve to die!"

Garp, brimming with murderous intent, vanished from his spot in a flash, reappearing before Hermes and unleashing a devastating punch.

This man must die here today.

"Old man, there's plenty of time in the future. I'll have plenty of time to play with you."

Hermes sneered repeatedly.

Having no intention of fighting Garp, he flashed to a spot fifty meters away, then a door appeared behind him, and he retreated and quickly disappeared.

Do you think he's stupid?

Below him are the Five Elders, Kong, Zephyr, and others. If they didn't show any martial ethics and gang up on him, he would probably be dead in one move. This time, his main target is Sengoku.

If we can eliminate the Sengoku period, then all the time he has waited will have been worthwhile.

"Newgate, you didn't do anything to kill that idiot Sengoku. Our deal needs to be changed. There's no need for you to stay here any longer."

The moment the portal disappeared, Hermes' voice echoed across the battlefield.

"Damn it."

He got away!

The Five Elders, Steel Bone Kong, and Zephyr appeared one after another at the place where Hermes disappeared, their faces ashen. None of them expected Hermes to be so shameless.

They killed people and then ran away.

This is utterly shameless.

"What do you mean?"

"Did the King of Hunters make a deal with Whitebeard?"

Whether on the battlefield or in the outside world, everyone looked at each other upon hearing Hermes' last words.

"Unexpectedly, the usually arrogant Whitebeard not only contacted the remnants of Roger's pirate crew, but also entrusted the Hunter King with this task."

"If the Hunter King hadn't said that, I would have almost forgotten the nature of the Monarchy."

"It seems that Whitebeard entrusted Monarch to put Ace in need of help."

Even a fool could see that now.

It was something no one could have predicted.

Rayleigh's expression at this moment was a mixture of emotions. He was not happy that Ace was saved; on the contrary, he was very worried because Jormungandr was such a beast.

Who knows what kind of trouble might arise afterward?
