The most courageous pirate hunter

The trees on all sides were also anthropomorphized into giant fists.

This attack is intimidating.

However, in head-to-head confrontations, Bages was never afraid.

"Unlimited Strength, Continuous Punching".

With his fists clenched and imbued with domineering aura, Burgess's muscles bulged, and he took a deep breath before unleashing several punches into the air in front of him, creating massive shockwaves.

They are all manifestations of power.

As expected, the trees shattered into countless pieces, proving utterly unstoppable.

"How can it be."

Huang Mu thought it was a fantasy. You have to know that his Tree Man Fist could shatter a mountain, so you can imagine how powerful it is. But now he has lost miserably.

"Hahaha~"

"Unlimited Power - The Fist of the King".

A blinding burst of bright white light flashed, transforming into dozens of beams that pierced through the clouds. Bages appeared in front of Huang Mu as if by teleportation, a sun rising slowly from his right fist.

Oops.

will die.

A chill ran straight to his soul, and Huang Mu sensed the impending death.

The world fell silent the next second. A vast mushroom cloud, surrounded by two halos, swept across the sky, annihilating everything in its path. The surrounding mountains exploded one after another.

Looking out from a high vantage point, one can see a large number of residents fleeing for their lives.

The shockwave from the explosion raged like a tsunami.

Chapter 301 [On the Way to Find the Golden Emperor]

"Cough cough cough~"

"Damn it, how can he be so strong!"

The farthest place.

A green sprout emerged from the scorched soil and quickly grew into a wild stalk. This was a unique ability of his Devil Fruit, allowing him to merge with plants and achieve alternative regeneration through them.

That punch just now caused him a lot of damage.

He admitted that he had underestimated the other party.

Think about it.

He wasn't absolutely certain he could take down his opponent, nor was he sure if the Monarchy organization had any other members on the island. Rather than wasting time here, he figured he might as well leave.

Sensing the approaching aura from afar, Huang Mu paused, his pale face stiffening. He then turned and dashed into a valley forest, his aura quickly disappearing from sight.

The next second, Burgess descended from the sky.

"Hahaha~"

"Escaped?"

Burgess unleashed his Observation Haki, and the opponent's presence vanished into the distance, eventually disappearing completely.

pity.

They finally encountered a nature-type user, but the other person managed to escape.

"Boring."

The battle ended so soon after it began that Burgess was left feeling rather disappointed. He hadn't even gotten to the climax yet. Next time, he'd definitely make sure to kill his opponent properly.

I wasted my time and expectations.

soon.

News of Bages' battle with an unknown powerhouse spread like wildfire, reaching the seas the very next day—the speed of the news was truly remarkable.

Many people and forces are interested in this unknown powerful figure.

Just the fact that he managed to escape from a fighting champion is something he can brag about for years to come, proving that he has the ability and is worth courting or cooperating with.

at the same time.

A large number of new powerful individuals have emerged around the world, including some who are truly monsters. The effects of this great rise have been truly demonstrated.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

"Wild Pasture? Logia-type Forest Fruit?"

In a sea somewhere in the New World, the Death is sailing.

Hermes, dressed in beach shorts, lay on a deck chair under a parasol, occasionally sipping chilled juice, talking on the phone with Burgess about Burgess's recent battle.

"Hahaha~"

"It's a pity it looks good but isn't very useful; it ran away after only a few moves!"

The Den Den Mushi was filled with Burgess's disdainful voice.

Hermes was speechless for a moment.

Don't you even consider how strong you are? If you combine the power of the King's Fist, who can withstand it?

It's not that Hermes is exaggerating Burgess; with Burgess's current power, he's absolutely capable of holding his own against anyone. The Power-Power Fruit combined with the King's Fist makes him a true threat to anyone.

It's no exaggeration to say that Burgess is already at the very top of the pyramid.

Hermes was quite interested in this guy named Aramu, mainly because he was a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, which was a big plus.

Little did they know that Aramaki would later become Admiral Green Bull.

"Your whereabouts have been exposed. Be careful, someone might be unscrupulous and try to kill you."

Hermes was well aware of the current predicament of the Monarchy, which was absolutely outrageous, especially among the top powers who wished to eliminate it as soon as possible.

However, under normal circumstances, Burgess and others don't need to back down.

In a 1v1 situation, you're not afraid of anyone; in a 1v2 situation, you need to run for your life; and in a 1v3 situation, you should struggle a bit and then surrender, and save your life first.

Anyway, they have powerful backers who are reliable.

"Boss, trust me, I'll kill them one by one."

"Also, do you need me to go to Phi Phi Island?"

Burgess was bursting with confidence. With Hermes backing him up, he was the most reckless guy, ready to mess with any monsters and demons.

"Need not!"

"He's just a Golden Emperor. The reason Guyram is rushing there is because he has the ability to take the other's heart."

That's right.

Hermes is on his way to Phi Phi Island, his target naturally being the Golden Emperor. He also notifies Guyram in the New World to go there. Since he wants to subdue the Golden Emperor, he will definitely need some means.

"OK then!"

call ended.

Hermes didn't call anyone else. This time it was just him, Bruno, and Van Gufried, along with Mansherry, among the dwarves on the Skypiea.

And there's Alpagacino.

As for Guylam and Lucci, they are both out there. Guylam has already gone to Phi Phi Island, while Lucci is still wandering around somewhere, supposedly to meet Kalifa and the others.

Since Lucci and Bruno were abducted by Hermes in Water Seven, the CP9 team has not disbanded and is still operating. Not long ago, Kalifa, Kaku, and others completed their mission in the Grand Line.

The World Government even gave them orders to snipe Lucci and Bruno.

I don't know what they were thinking.

Another one is Hody Jones, who returned to Fishman Island a few days ago, a triumphant homecoming.

His arrival at the port immediately drew the attention of the entire Fishman Island, with the thugs and fishmen of Fishman Street cheering. Everyone knew that Hody Jones was a member of Monarch.

The bounty is a staggering 640 million Berries.

That's under the command of the world's most powerful man. He has power, prestige, and influence. You could even say that Hody Jones could arrive in a kingdom and demand that it provide him with treasure and women free of charge, or else he would destroy the kingdom.

That kind of invisible oppression is something that ordinary kingdoms cannot resist.

Back then, the Hunter King indiscriminately slaughtered innocent people on Fishman Island, causing the entire Fishman Street to go berserk. Now, Fishman Island has selectively forgotten about this incident.

When a person becomes powerful enough, any hatred becomes pale and powerless.

"Lord Hody Jones, King Neptune requests your presence at the Dragon Palace."

Fishman Street.

Hody Jones was drinking with his old merman friends, constantly being questioned about the Hunter King, the Monarch organization, and what the Monarch organization was like inside.

Suddenly, a palace attendant from the Dragon Palace arrived in Fishman Street and approached Hody Jones somewhat nervously.

Actually, I've wanted to invite him ever since Hody Jones returned to Neptune on Fishman Island, because Jinbe also returned yesterday. Currently, the two of them have enough influence on Fishman Island.
