The most courageous pirate hunter

"Hadori, where are you and Lucci hanging around? There's an explosion behind you. Who are you fighting?"

Hermes, far away on the Isle of the Gods, was munching on an apple while watching Hadori, whose back was constantly filled with exploding flames that made it impossible for him not to see them.

"Cuckoo~"

Hadori began by giving a brief explanation, accompanied by various anthropomorphic expressions.

Hermes nodded occasionally, munching on his apple, without interrupting Hadori, until he understood what had happened.

"So you guessed they'd call for backup without any sense of honor, and then you called for help too?"

"Cuckoo!"

Hadoli nodded vigorously.

At the same time, it also carries a hint of pride. Others have powerful backers, so it does too, and it's even stronger and more shameless.

"Jie Jie~"

"We can't rule out that possibility. It doesn't matter. Whether they call for help or not, let's just get our hands on the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and the Flame-Flame Fruit this time!"

Hermes discarded the apple core; it seems it's time to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates.

They dared to emulate the treacherous and disloyal behavior of the Warring States period.

They didn't take him seriously at all.

call ended.

Hermes started dialing other people's numbers and quickly made contact with them one by one. He then teleported to the Lilliputian kingdom, where Mansherry was developing the Sensen Fruit.

Alpagachino was rather unlucky; it was just a sparring partner, bound hand and foot by a venomous vine and hanging in mid-air, bleating loudly. If it weren't for the fear of harming the nearby little people, it would have already opened fire.

"Come out with me."

Hermes' sudden appearance did not frighten Mansherry. After all, this man was used to appearing and disappearing unpredictably, and the organization was already used to it. She didn't even raise her head and continued watching the Green Bull battle video that Hermes had given her.

Many of the techniques used are based on the Forest Fruit, which greatly helped her.

"What?"

"Lucci and Hadori are already taking action to wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates, and Burgess and the others are also heading towards their destination."

Hermes stretched and before heading to Wellis Island, he had to pick up Tesoro, Guyram, and Bruno from the City of Gold. The two of them had been enjoying themselves in the City of Gold lately, eating and drinking to their hearts' content.

As for Burgess and Hody Jones, they're both in the New World, and they should arrive around the same time.

When I contacted Burgess, he was incredibly excited.

Chapter 385 [The Imperial Organization is perfectly capable of doing this]

A powerful clash erupted between a fist wreathed in black and red lightning and flames, and a beastly fist exploding with sparks and Armament Haki.

Before they could even react.

Both men bent over and coughed up blood, but both Lucci and Ace were ruthless and forcibly withstood the attack. One uppercut and one left hook, and their facial muscles were visibly contorted together.

With a loud bang.

Two raised sections of the earth's crust exploded. After the dust settled, Ace, his face covered in blood, shook his head and slowly stood up, supporting himself with his hands on the ground, his breathing somewhat disordered.

He doesn't look to be in very good condition.

And on the opposite side.

Lucci emerged from the dust at a leisurely pace. Although he looked disheveled, he was in much better shape than Ace, and his condition would only improve with each passing second.

The recovery brought about by Life Return and Zoan-type Awakening is absolutely terrifying.

Puff puff.

The flames roared and burned fiercely.

Ace clenched his fists, his eyes filled with defiance, staring intently at Lucci as he strolled over, his tone chilling, "I don't believe I can't defeat you. If I can't even defeat you, how am I supposed to defeat Jormungandr?"

Rings of flame began to spread outwards, eventually coalescing in mid-air.

Ace raised his right hand, his face covered in blood.

"You are indeed very talented. If you were given a few more years, you might be able to defeat me. But if you want to defeat that man, even if you were given a hundred years, you wouldn't be able to do it. There is no one in this world who can kill him."

Lucci did not laugh at Ace; on the contrary, he answered very seriously.

There was an opportunity to kill him.

However, killing Hermes would take more than a hundred years, let alone three or five hundred, unless a way to counter teleportation is found.

In today's world, the hardest thing to kill is undoubtedly the BOSS.

"It's shameless to talk big."

Ace snorted coldly, not believing what Lucci said at all.

He had already gained power far exceeding his previous level after only half a year of cultivation. If given another year or two, he was confident that he could surpass everyone.

At that time, even the King of Hunters will be his defeated opponent.

This is due to information asymmetry.

It could also be said that Ace was too young and had no idea how cunning Hermes was, nor how much Hermes valued his life. Instead of choosing a powerful Devil Fruit like the Tremor-Tremor Fruit or the Magma-Magma Fruit for his second Devil Fruit, he chose the Teleportation Fruit.

This alone reveals Hermes' character.

"Whether it's boastful or not, you can't see it!"

Lucci clenched his right fist, and a blazing light began to rise, causing the surrounding atmosphere to hum.

"You won't be able to see it either, because you'll fall here today."

"Great Flame Ring - Flame Emperor".

"Six Styles of Secret Techniques: The Fist of the King".

Accompanied by two hysterical voices, the world turned completely white, and both sight and sound disappeared until a vast mushroom cloud slowly rose.

The upside-down dark clouds were pushed out, and the entire Jingjing Island trembled. The three halos continued to spread, causing Vista and Jote, who were fighting, to stop and block them.

And in the waters off Jingjing Island.

Pirate ships from both directions were rapidly approaching, but upon sensing the rising tsunami and wind pressure, their expressions all turned grave and grim.

"It's Ace's aura."

"That explosion~"

Aboard Moby Dick.

Jozu gazed at the surging tsunami and the aura he sensed with his Observation Haki. His resolute face was filled with worry, because Ace's aura was very unstable, which meant that they had encountered a formidable enemy.

Even if they are seriously injured.

"A familiar scent."

"Ace's enemy is probably not the Blackbeard Pirates, but Monarch."

Rayleigh also stood at the bow of the ship, his face as gloomy as rain.

He sensed a familiar aura; there was no doubt about it—it was Rob Lucci, the killing machine of the Monarch organization. He would recognize any member of the Monarch organization, even if they were reduced to ashes.

"what?"

"Didn't Vista say they encountered the Blackbeard Pirates' Evil King and Great Smoker Jott?"

Bramank raised his voice, and the others clenched their teeth tightly.

The Blackbeard Pirates and Monarch are two different things.

"Kula la~"

"Speed ​​ahead."

Whitebeard pulled out his feeding tube, coughed, and felt a heavy weight in his heart. This matter involved the Monarchy organization, which raised the danger level dramatically. Coupled with the grudges between the two sides, it seemed that Jormungandr was going to take action against the Whitebeard Pirates.

The good news is that Rayleigh and the others happened to be there.

"Dad, a tsunami is coming."

Some pirates weren't too panicked when they saw the huge waves coming towards them. As members of the Whitebeard Pirates, they were used to seeing such awe-inspiring scenes.

Compared to the tsunami created by my father, it's really nothing.

"Let Raleigh come!"

Jabba, leaning against the ship's railing, exhaled a smoke ring. Two giant axes, which were rusty when they appeared at Marineford, now gleamed coldly.

Rayleigh remained silent.

He drew the longsword from his waist, a weapon that had been gathering dust for a long time. He probably hadn't used it much since he retired, and usually fought bare-handed.

Now that I'm back in the game, it's time to bring out my tools of the trade.

call out! ! !

The sword was raised high and slashed down, seemingly unremarkable, but the next second a heaven-piercing slash appeared, splitting the oncoming tsunami with unstoppable force, allowing the Moby Dick to pass safely.
