The most courageous pirate hunter

However, things will be more difficult in the future.

His title of Shichibukai will definitely be stripped, and he will be wanted and hunted down by the Navy again. Hopefully, Fishman Island will not be implicated. The only consolation is that Fishman Island is still under the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The key point is that Whitebeard is not dead yet.

In summary.

No one benefited from this war except Hermes, who not only eliminated his mortal enemy Sengoku but also captured Fire Fist Ace, giving him plenty of room to maneuver in the future.

Chapter 298 [Removing Jormungandr's Only Fig Leaf]

The next day.

Numerous news reports began to spread across the sea.

Under Morgans's direction, the war was hailed as the Marineford War and was reported in such detail that it felt like being there in person. Even when the live broadcast was interrupted by Hermes, the subsequent reports were still presented without missing a single word.

No doubt, it's Hermes's doing again.

They recorded the entire war from another dimension.

This war was undoubtedly spectacular, and the reputations of the Navy's three admirals, two Five Elders, Commander-in-Chief Sky, Impel Down Warden Magellan, Zephyr, Tsuru, and Gion all rose significantly.

Regardless of winning or losing, their formidable fighting strength alone is enough to leave a lasting impression.

In addition, the various division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates also showed off in front of the whole world, including Marco the Phoenix, Diamond Jozu, Vista the Flower Sword, and so on.

Whitebeard, in particular, was at a disadvantage against two Marine Admirals, yet he still managed to hold out for so long. This alone is enough to prove that he was the strongest man in the original world.

Some speculate that Whitebeard would win in a one-on-one situation.

The presence of the Seven Warlords of the Sea—including Sea Rogue, Gecko Moria, the Pirate Empress, and Hawkeye Mihawk—also showcased the power of the Seven Warlords. However, the appearance of the Roger Pirates and the Revolutionary Army was even more shocking.

Rayleigh, Jabba the Hulk, Dragon, the four army commanders, and so on.

Each of them is a highly respected figure.

The Impel Down criminals who arrived last also shone brightly, including Crocodile, Jinbe, Buggy the Clown, and others...

As for the Blackbeard Pirates, Shiki, and others, let's not even mention them; none of them fared well.

However, the most famous is the Hunter King, who not only defeated Sengoku in one fell swoop but also kidnapped Fire Fist Ace. However, the world has become numb to the Hunter King, and it is taken for granted that he can make even the biggest news.

Undeniably, the navy lost this time.

However, as long as their fighting force remained intact, it was destined that even with their reputation ruined, they could still maintain a place on the high seas and retain their strong voice, relying on their powerful strength.

Some within the organization even thought that since their reputation was beyond repair, they might as well go all out, wave the banner of justice, and do whatever they wanted without being bound by the rules.

If the navy were to do this, it would undoubtedly be terrifying.

Let's imagine.

If the Navy were to adopt the Hunter King's style of operation, with the three admirals, Garp, Zephyr, and others launching a surprise attack on a faction, they would be guaranteed to succeed every time.

It is fair to say that no force can stop the navy from doing this.

However, that would turn them from a righteous force into an ambiguous one. In short, there are advantages and disadvantages, and it all depends on what the navy does next.

The next few days.

The aftermath of the Marineford War continues to simmer, with discussions taking place almost all over the world. Although most people are mocking the Navy, no force dares to provoke them at this time.

This can be seen from the reduction in the number of insurgency.

Even a fool knows that the Navy is holding its breath right now; anyone who provokes them will die. At most, they'll just talk big.

New world.

On an island within the Whitebeard Pirates' territory, a banquet was being held. Whitebeard was covered in tubes and bandages, and his condition had worsened.

However, as long as there is no intense fighting, living for a few more years should not be a problem.

As long as he lives, the Whitebeard Pirates will remain one of the Four Emperors.

Whitebeard was even more terrifying at this point, because he was fully capable of taking someone down with him before he died, and no one would be foolish enough to provoke him at this time.

“Newgate, why would you ask that beast Jormungandr for help? It’s been six days, and that guy probably won’t come to make a deal with you.”

Rayleigh and the others looked rather grim.

Newgate wasn't stupid when he was young, so why did he entrust the Monarchy to him? That despicable Jormungandr would have taken advantage of the situation, but why would he be so kind as to save Ace?

Regardless of his relationship with Luffy or Luffy, it was destined that Ace and the Hunter King would only be enemies, not friends.

“Rayleigh, there was nothing we could do at the time.”

"Although the reputation of the King of Hunters is not very good, his credit has been good so far."

Marco, Jozu, and the others, all wrapped in bandages, were drinking with the rest of Roger's crew. The two sides had clashed more than once before.

I never thought we'd be drinking together again after all these years.

"Kula la~"

There's nothing we can do now.

Whitebeard gulped down a mouthful of wine, which brought a touch of color to his pale face. He then looked at Rayleigh with a frown and asked, "How did you become mortal enemies with Jormungandr?"

Whitebeard was very curious about this.

Based on his understanding of Rayleigh's personality, he wasn't the type to cause trouble or easily offend people. On the contrary, whether they were enemies or strangers, anyone who had interacted with Rayleigh could become his friend.

Instead of becoming irreconcilable enemies like Jormungandr.

Jormungandr is just too dangerous.

That's right.

Even Whitebeard himself was wary of that young man. If Jormungandr were of the same generation as them, Roger might not have become the Pirate King, and many of the old guys would have died prematurely instead of lingering on until now.

Jormungandr is a unique individual, appearing only once every few centuries. His behavior and style are so different that he is almost flawless.

"The cause is actually very simple."

Rayleigh instinctively clutched his kidneys, his face grim. "You know about my relationship with Amazon Lily. Back then, Hancock, the current Queen of Amazon Lily and a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, encountered Jormungandr in the Sabaody Archipelago and tried to capture him to hand him over to the Navy in exchange for benefits."

As a result, Hancock was almost killed, and I intervened to save her, which led to our feud. Jormungandr then relentlessly pursued us, and both Sochi and I nearly died at each other's hands.

That guy is too vindictive and likes to drag innocent people into it.

Why didn't you tell me?

"Even you are no match for him?"

Jabba, Taro, and the others standing nearby were all surprised. They had seen the news reports from that period, but they all believed that Rayleigh wouldn't die so easily.

Judging from Rayleigh's headache, things seem to be more complicated than he imagined.

"Kula la~"

"You can't underestimate that guy. The reason the Navy has fallen to its current state is all because of Jormungandr. Even I didn't expect Sengoku to be killed like this."

Whitebeard was slow to realize this, but if he had just looked at the Hunter King's past experiences, he would have drawn the conclusion that no one who became Jormungandr's enemy had ever gained anything.

Moreover, most of those enemies were not provoked by the Hunter King.

The key hunter king is also an extremely petty and vindictive person who likes to eliminate enemies completely. He will do anything to wipe out his enemies, and he is ruthless in his methods. He is powerful, meticulous, and unconventional. Anyone who encounters him is bound to be unlucky.

"indeed."

"That has to be admitted."

The culprit for the Navy's current predicament can be said to be the Hunter King, a fact almost universally acknowledged across the seas.

That's why some people say that what the Hunter King did was unprecedented and will never be repeated.

"Newgate, since you know the Hunter King's character so well, why did you still entrust him with this task? It's been six days!"

A member asked again.

"At the time, I wasn't sure if you would intervene, nor did I think the Revolutionary Army would. So I couldn't save Ace on my own, and Monarch was the best option."

"At least so far, the Hunter King has no issues with his credibility."

Whitebeard was helpless.

If there were other methods, he wouldn't have entrusted it to someone else.

However, he also had a sly trick up his sleeve: he recorded the transaction with the Emperor Organization. If the Hunter King ultimately failed to uphold martial ethics, he would tear off the only fig leaf the other party had left.

Chapter 299 [The First Generation of Little Boys.....]

Sky island.

Inside the God Island Research Lab.

Hermes didn't travel around after returning from Marineford. Instead, he planned to rest for a few days and think carefully about his future plans. Although he was impulsive, he believed he was adaptable.

In addition, I need to organize my own abilities.
