The most courageous pirate hunter

Chapter 365 [The First One Wasn't a Mini Fruit]

Moon.

It is the closest planet to the pirate planet, and it is a desolate wasteland, much like Hermes's moon in his previous life, with craters everywhere.

There is no air present.

The gravity is also extremely low.

Humans cannot survive here without any protective shields, but a few months ago a few humans arrived on the moon.

"I never imagined there were such ruins on the moon. There really are aliens there."

"When we first came to the moon, didn't we encounter a Logia-type Devil Fruit user? The boss was called Enel."

"Speaking of which, so much time has passed, the BOSS should have caught up with us by now!"

Behind a meteorite crater lies a golden clan, surrounded by some kind of protective shield, so that one can breathe freely here even without a protective suit.

At that moment, Guy Rum and Hody Jones were gossiping.

When they first arrived on the moon, they encountered a Logia-type Devil Fruit user with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability, and were immediately awestruck, until Hermes revealed that the user was also from Skypiea.

That's right.

That man was Enel.

Hermes had tried to catch him several times but failed, as the other party always managed to escape by some twist of fate, until he met him on the moon, where they exchanged a warm greeting.

Unexpectedly, Enel arrived on the moon and, with the help of the ruins there or some other fortuitous encounter, his strength increased greatly. He was caught off guard and his opponent escaped.

Then Hermes took the opportunity to cultivate and, incidentally, to hunt down the enemy.

During this period, life returned to normal, allowing Hermes to perform internal respiration, meaning that Hermes could survive in any environment.

After all these years, I've finally succeeded in my cultivation.

After all, even before Hermes awakened the concept of returning life, he had already set several development guidelines and never slacked off.

Now, he has made significant progress in limb regeneration, cell activity, super recovery, super endurance, super defense, and so on, making him a monster with a physique that is in no way inferior to Kaido, Big Mom, and others.

"Preparing to return to the sea."

No sign.

A figure appeared beside Hody Jones; it was Hermes.

"Boss, you're back?"

The two were already used to the elusive Hermes, after all, the BOSS was already a dual-type Devil Fruit user, the second Devil Fruit being Van Augur's Instant-Instant Fruit, also known as the Teleportation Fruit.

"Where's that lightning guy?"

Both of them were quite curious.

It's worth noting that Hermes had been chasing them for quite some time, so their return empty-handed was somewhat unexpected, even illogical. Logically, they should have been safe.

"I underestimated that bastard a bit."

Hermes shrugged.

The time he spent eating the Teleportation Fruit was still too short, and coupled with Enel's fortuitous encounters that greatly increased his strength, it was truly difficult for him to catch up in this vast and boundless universe.

Preliminary estimate.

Enel has already reached the level of a Yonko and can perfectly conceal his presence, so much so that even his Observation Haki cannot detect him. Combined with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, this is why Hermes has never succeeded.

The key is that guy won't fight him.

"Tell Lucci and the others. They've been away from the world for so long, many people have probably forgotten us. It's time to rebuild our glory. As for Enel, we can deal with him later."

Hermes didn't intend to put all his eggs in one basket with Enel. If Enel kept evading him, he really wouldn't be able to do anything, unless he was given enough time to develop the Teleportation Fruit.

Otherwise, it's a further advancement in Observation Haki.

"Hahaha~"

"I'll go notify you right away."

After saying this, Hermes disappeared without a sound or warning, and when he reappeared, he was already ten thousand meters away in a desolate desert.

It has been a month since I ate the teleportation fruit.

Hermes has probably figured out some of her abilities.

First, there's the ability to teleport, which consumes very little stamina. It mainly involves teleporting within the range of one's vision and Observation Haki. Within this range, Hermes can teleport repeatedly as he pleases.

The prerequisite is that you have enough physical strength.

On this point, Hermes felt that it was possible to go further, namely, to explore places that had been visited and places that were imagined on a deeper level.

The places Hermes has been to are easy to understand; they are any places Hermes has visited, such as Sky Island. Therefore, Hermes could be teleported to Ghost Island in an instant.

This technique is called fixed-point teleportation, somewhat similar to the Paw-Paw Fruit's slapping motion. However, Hermes tried it and was still limited to a certain range. Perhaps after development, it could be used to teleport directly from the East Blue to the New World, no matter how far away.

Hermes cannot do it now; the distance is simply too great.

Finally, there's the deeper level of imagination: Hermes could simply think of any place in his mind, and if such a place existed, he could instantly teleport there.

It's very exaggerated.

Upon closer examination, it's almost impossible.

Finally, it's about teleporting someone else.

They are divided into living organisms and non-living organisms.

Both methods consume more stamina than teleporting itself, similar to the teleportation Van Augur previously demonstrated. Currently, Hermes can only teleport one person at a time.

It is still within the range of vision, the range of sight and hearing, and a certain range of fixed-point teleportation.

However, there is a prerequisite: Hermes must have touched the target of the teleportation, which is marked with something similar to a target fruit.

In addition, Hermes had an unrealistic idea: to teleport away the enemy's energy attack, or to put it simply, to forcibly teleport the enemy to outer space.

Unfortunately, in this world, Haki is above all other powers. As long as Haki is strong enough, even the power of Devil Fruits has to take a backseat.

In short, no matter what.

In this world, Hermes is inherently invincible, and no one can threaten him.

at the same time.

A certain sea area in the New World.

A pirate ship was sailing along when a sudden scream nearly scared the seagulls resting on the mast to death.

"Luffy, did you steal food from the fridge again?"

Sanji, dressed in a chef's uniform, holding a spatula and engulfed in flames, had empty the refrigerator, which was supposed to be their rations for the next three days.

His first suspect was Luffy.

"I do not have it!"

Luffy, who was sleeping, was woken up and looked completely bewildered.

Not a moment later.

The entire Straw Hat Pirates crew gathered in the kitchen, staring at the refrigerator, which was cleaner than their faces. Everyone glared angrily at Luffy, because only Luffy could have done something like that.

"Luffy, did you do this?"

"It's really not me."

Luffy had a long face and was practically swearing an oath with his hand raised.

"It's not you?"

Everyone looked at Luffy with suspicion. Seeing that Luffy didn't seem to be lying, they looked at the others and found that no one had touched the refrigerator. Where did the food go?

kindness?

Sudden.

Everyone looked in one direction at the same time; they sensed a presence—a stranger.

"That was food I carefully prepared for Nami-san and Robin-san, you thief!"

In an instant, Sanji transformed into a fire saint, kicking a cabinet not far away. With an explosion, Zoro and Luffy also gave chase.

Amidst the chaos, it took more than ten minutes to finally catch the culprit.

"Let me go. I just ate something. I'll give it back to you when I find my father."

Big eyes were fixed on the tiny figure Robin was holding, which was only the size of a grain of rice. Chopper had to pull out a magnifying glass from somewhere to see it clearly.

It's definitely one person.

"Such a small person?"

"Who are you."

“My name is Lily Ernstmark, and I am a miniature person who ate the Paramecia-type Mini-Mini Fruit.”

this moment.
