The most courageous pirate hunter

A true Paramecia-type Mini-Mini Fruit user has appeared.

This also means that Hermes' first Devil Fruit was not the Mini-Fruit Fruit, but rather a superior version of the Mini-Fruit Fruit that could change size.

Furthermore, the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia contains a matching Devil Fruit.

At the same time, not long after Hermes and the others left the moon and returned to the sea, a bolt of lightning condensed in the sky above the lunar desert, its body flashing with azure lightning, like a god filled with divine power.

He turned his head to look at the azure planet, his eyes filled with thunder.

The next second, it transformed into azure light and flew towards the planet at lightning speed.

Chapter 366 [Is the theory of bloodline really that powerful? Pure Gold News]

"Jie Jie~"

"Everyone had a great time dancing this year!"

Island of Gods.

Inside the magnificent palace, the entire Imperial Organization was gathered, feasting and drinking lavishly. Hermes sat at the head of the table, occasionally sipping red wine and glancing at the latest news.

We must not lose touch with information from the outside world.

For example, Fire Fist Ace has fully matured. In his recent battle with Marine Admiral Aramaki, he was evenly matched and subtly showed restraint. Therefore, there are rumors that Whitebeard has a successor.

With the help of the remnants of Roger's pirate crew, Portgas D. Ace was already an absolute powerhouse among the younger generation, comparable to a young Yonko.

Speaking of this young Emperor.

Kidd and Law are among them, but they don't have the powerful backing of Fire Fist, so they live a more miserable life and can't be as reckless as Fire Fist, since there are always people to back them up.

These three are now almost universally recognized as the most likely to replace the Four Emperors, especially given their recent peak of prestige.

"Is the theory of bloodline that powerful?"

Hermes looked at the newspaper, in which Ace looked like a god of fire. Compared to his previous somewhat naive and arrogant appearance, he was much more composed and resolute.

The changes are too great.

His cultivation speed was even faster than when he was young, and you have to remember that he was a transmigrator who had undergone a baptism.

"What bloodline theory?"

Mansherry jumped onto Hermes' shoulder and they both looked at the thick newspaper in Hermes' hand.

"It's nothing, just like dragons beget dragons and phoenixes beget phoenixes. It's all about bloodline and destiny."

Hermes removed the newspaper and continued to the next one, which was full of news about the new generation of pirate thugs. The older generation of Hermes didn't find it interesting, since they knew each other very well.

"Interesting. Did he wake up after being in a vegetative state for so many years?"

Hermes suddenly flipped to a news article about the Straw Hat Pirates, which reported that Jinbe, the former Shichibukai, had become a member of the Straw Hat Pirates.

However, the Straw Hat Pirates are not all present at the moment.

Usopp and Franky were out of the picture for many years because Hermes caused trouble in Water Seven, so they didn't farm the Thriller Bark dungeon, which meant they didn't encounter Brook.

The Straw Hat Pirates currently consist of: Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, and Jinbe.

As Hermes looked at the news report, a sinister smile gradually crept across his face.

He had threatened to kill anyone he saw.

Moreover, the protagonist's aura hasn't been fully tested yet. As a villain, you absolutely cannot underestimate the protagonist, otherwise you'll easily be killed, even if the protagonist is weak.

The saying "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river" is quite frightening.

Hermes speculated.

Given just a little bit of time, Wang Lufei can easily surpass his peers; otherwise, how could he be the chosen one?

"Bulu Bulu~"

Just then, a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scoop) rang. Tesoro casually pulled the Den Den Mushi out of his pocket, while the others continued eating and drinking as usual, without even looking up.

"sure?"

"okay, I get it!"

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Tesoro looked at Hermes, who was still reading the news, and casually tossed his gray-green hair back with an air of elegance. "Boss, I have good news for you. Mad Torega has found information about pure gold."

Hermes immediately put down the newspaper and looked at Tezzolo with a somewhat eager gaze.

how many years.

Finally, there's news about pure gold.

That's a priceless treasure that can keep him young forever and prolong his life.

He's terrified of dying.

Unfortunately, at Hermes' level, the effect of the poison is negligible, because the stronger the person, the weaker the power of the poison.

Hermes didn't know if pure gold could counteract the side effects of the poison, but regardless, he had to get his hands on pure gold; it was far too important.

"Jie Jie~"

"After all these years, we finally have some news. Where is it?"

Hermes was eager to go and find it.

"El Caméra Island".

"Unfortunately, Mischina Olga, who knew the clues about the pure gold, was taken away by the World Government."

Tezzolo spread his hands.

Mad Trega had already captured Miskina Olga, who knew the clues about the pure gold, but unexpectedly, the World Government had also been secretly investigating, and at the critical moment, the CPO appeared and stole it.

"Give me the contact information for this treasure hunter, Mad Torega."

Hermes decided to investigate it himself.

Oh shit.

The duck is already cooked; the world government dares to snatch food from his mouth—they're courting death.

"Boss, I'm going too."

"You all go about your business. I can move faster by myself."

Remembering the Den Den Mushi number Tesoro mentioned, and the coordinates of El Caméma Island, Hermes disappeared from his seat. With the ability of the Teleportation Fruit, he would be even more invincible on his own.

Bruno and the others following him would only slow him down.

"Hahaha~"

"You guys take your time eating, I'm going to take a stroll on the sea first."

Hermes left.

Burgess couldn't contain himself any longer; he hadn't been to the arena for a year.

"Wait for me, let's go together."

"There's something going on in Golden City too."

"Let's go!"

Just a few minutes.

The entire hall was now empty except for Mansherry and Alpagachino, who were staring at each other blankly.

New world.

El Caméra Island.

Two hundred years ago, it was a rich and prosperous island. Because a mysterious scientist discovered "pure gold," it attracted a sea king of lanternfish that fed on gold.

Then, with one bite, half of the island disappeared.

Fearing further attacks from the lanternfish sea monsters, some of the survivors chose to migrate and flee, eventually turning the island into an isolated island.

Even after 200 years, some traces of the past can still be seen in some mountain streams and forests.

"Damn it, I didn't expect CP0 to suddenly appear."

"Cough cough~"

A pungent, bright red blood gushed from his mouth.

Mad Torega collapsed beside a stream, clutching his chest, his face pale and looking seriously injured.

As the most ferocious treasure hunter, Mad Torega has a head of purplish-red dreadlocks, two chains hanging from his shoulders, and a burly physique, but his face looks somewhat fierce.

In the treasure hunter profession, he is a well-known figure.

Years ago, he was commissioned by the Golden Emperor to help investigate clues about "pure gold." He had just made some progress recently, but before he could even enjoy it, three CP0 agents appeared, severely injured him, and took away the clues he had finally found.

Too much bullying.

“What belongs to Mad Torega is not so easily taken away.”

He got up unsteadily.
