The most courageous pirate hunter

Don't stay here for long.

With one last look at the boundless abyss, Hermes vanished with a heavy heart.

Regardless, the operation was a success. Not only did they obtain pure gold, but they also had a chance to put the teleportation fruit into practice. The three CP0 members also benefited unexpectedly.

More importantly, it was that earth-shattering blow.

Although it's just speculation, it's almost certainly related to the World Government. It means we've truly come to realize the hidden power of the World Government, and it seems we can't be so reckless anymore.

Fortunately, the second Devil Fruit he chose was the Teleportation Fruit.

Even if it's a map-wide attack, as long as it misses, it's a flawed map-wide attack.

It seems necessary to expedite the transformation of the Sky Island and send it into outer space; otherwise, if the World Government finds out its location and launches a missile, all of Monarch's years of hard work will be for nothing.

Not long after Hermes left, a figure appeared out of thin air in the swirling sky, looked around, and then emerged from the depths of the abyss, carrying a mangled corpse in his hand.

It was none other than Green Bull.

And it still had a breath left, but no one knows how it survived.

The survival rate is simply phenomenal.

Chapter 372 [Pure Gold Cannot Compensate for the Defects of the Deadly Drug]

the next day.

The story of Babaka Island was reported, and the Hunter King reappeared after a year, almost killing Admiral Green Bull. Then, for some unknown reason, Babaka Island disappeared.

Each and every incident caused quite a stir.

After all, the Hunter King has been missing for a year.

He truly deserves to be called the most courageous man in the world. He either doesn't show up at all, or when he does, it's always accompanied by bloodshed. Even a Navy admiral almost died. Who in this vast ocean can do anything to the King of Hunters?

This further confirms one thing: when the Hunter Kings fight, the map really will be redrawn.

Navy Headquarters.

Infirmary.

Sakazuki stared grimly at the mummy on the hospital bed, barely breathing and still in a deep coma. This was Green Bull, after all, whose survival and recovery abilities were top-notch.

I never expected that after going out and encountering Jormungandr, I would come back in such a terrible state.

He almost didn't recognize it when it was returned.

He admitted that Jormungandr was very strong, but it's impossible for him to beat Green Bull like that; it's just outrageous.

"You're not dead, are you!"

Just as Sakazuki was deep in thought, Borsalino pushed open the door and walked in. He had just returned to Marine Headquarters and then heard that Green Bull had been beaten up by Jormungandr, even more severely than he had been beaten up.

He was left with only his last breath.

Thankfully, there was the blessing of the Forest Fruit, otherwise....

"He's not dead, but his condition is very serious."

Sakazuki lit a cigar, feeling somewhat annoyed, while Borsalino came to the bedside and looked at the Green Bull wrapped up like a mummy. His lips twitched as he couldn't help but think of the days he spent lying in the hospital bed.

He was also ambushed by Jormungandr and almost killed.

Now, just thinking about that man makes his lower back ache. He subconsciously touches his side, where he finds someone else's kidney, but it's a perfect match for him, and there's no rejection.

"Even with Green Bull's incredible resilience, it couldn't withstand it?"

“You know very well Jormungandr’s fighting style. He goes all in right from the start, and most people simply can’t withstand that.”

Sakazuki knew this too.

To deal with that man, we must attack him as a group and not give him any chance to escape. Otherwise, one person alone could very well end up like Green Bull.

His opponent's explosive power was second only to his.

"indeed."

Borsalino looked grave.

Even a speedster like him and a resilient fighter like Green Bull could be easily defeated if they weren't careful, let alone others who have no particular strengths.

How did the Green Bull escape?

"I don't know. It was CP0 that brought it back from Mary Geoise. And this time, not only was Green Bull seriously injured, but three CP0 members, Needleman, Skeleton, and Horned Dragon, were also lost."

"Some impression."

Borsalino remembered these three CP0 members who had provided support during the Marineford War.

New world.

Cake Island.

"Jormungandr, you have finally appeared."

Looking at the newspaper in my hand.

Kaido sobered up instantly, his eyes turning red. When the artificial Devil Fruits and clones of King and the others were sold off in large quantities, he knew that everyone was dead.

Little did Kaido know that he was wrong. In fact, Yamato and the others were all alive and well, but they were like domesticated livestock, with no freedom whatsoever. Their only value was to have their bloodline factors extracted every once in a while.

"Mmmmmm~"

"Now that we've found Jormungandr's location, we can take our revenge."

Big Mom was sitting next to him, eating Homie cake with gusto.

The reason she was so confident was because Hades had been successfully created, though strictly speaking, it was a semi-finished product, as the final technology had not yet been mastered.

Perhaps not as powerful as the real Hades, but still powerful enough to dominate the world.

It's a good opportunity to test the power of the ancient weapons with Jormungandr.

In fact, compared to her unfinished product, the World Government and the Revolutionary Army have already created the real Hades, and they are just missing an opportunity to show it off. It is believed that once Hades is revealed, the world order will be reshuffled.

Even more coincidentally, they both wanted to give Hades his first time to Hermes, because nothing is more satisfying than blasting the world's most daring man to death with a single shot.

I've been holding in this anger for a long time.

It's predictable.

The era of Hades, one of the three ancient weapons, is about to begin.

The Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates are about to face their most severe test yet.

Because times have changed again.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

"A miracle, it really is a miracle!"

Island of Gods.

In the research room, Caesar's face was full of amazement. Before him was a grain of pure gold the size of a grain of rice. This tiny piece of pure gold emitted a golden light as bright as the sun.

"It's unbelievable."

"I really want to meet the scientists who developed this."

"He's truly a genius."

Judge and Queen were also greatly shocked, while only Mansherry and Hermes remained relatively calm.

"Boss, after testing, this thing can indeed slow down the passage of life, which is equivalent to delaying the lifespan of one day indefinitely. The time is still the same, it's just extended."

Caesar removed some kind of instrument from his eyes; various test data were still on the table.

Hermes immediately brought the pure gold to Caesar and his companions for them to study. It was confirmed to be pure gold, and its effects were exactly as described in the legends: wearing pure gold was equivalent to achieving immortality and eternal youth.

"So, it can't increase lifespan, nor can it compensate for the drug's flaws?"

Hermes wasn't too disappointed.

At first, it was just a guess that pure gold could compensate for the side effects of the drug. Since pure gold didn't work, we would use other methods to make up for the lifespan lost.

A living person cannot die from holding in their urine.

Moreover, I don't only have one or two days left to live, so it's not too late to wear pure gold now, because one day is equivalent to several decades.

"Yes."

"Boss, do you still have this kind of pure gold?"

Judge suddenly turned to look at Hermes.

There's only one pill, and it can only be worn by one person, so it must belong to Hermes. What about the others?

Given enough pure gold, they might be able to crack the code and then create even more pure gold, at which point the Monarchy could become eternal.

No one can refuse eternal life.

"No."

"But there can't be only this much of this thing."
