The most courageous pirate hunter

Life can be restored, and if it's abnormal enough, it becomes an immortal body with both offense and defense.

The bolder your imagination, the greater the yield.

Skillful.

He, Hermes, was very bold.

"It's time to use Elizabeth II to collect the other six powers."

My body has almost recovered, it's time to go out for a stroll.

Elizabeth II acted swiftly, ascending the throne as King of the Kingdom of Prodens in just half a month.

I really underestimated them.

Hermes didn't go to the palace immediately. Instead, he ate a hearty meal and then, as was his habit, ate a large meat leg as he headed towards the palace.

"Your Majesty, those traitors and rebels have been detained."

The royal council hall.

Queen Elizabeth II, dressed in royal robes and wearing a crown, sat on her throne looking down at a group of ministers, one of whom, a general in armor, was giving a serious report.

"Your Majesty, those traitors deserve to die."

"The entire kingdom is currently in dire straits. I suggest that they all be executed. This would serve as a warning to others and make some of the evil forces within the country restrain themselves."

"..."

"Your Majesty, the World Government will be sending representatives to visit in ten days."

After discussing some trivial matters, the Foreign Minister stepped forward.

The Kingdom of Prodin is one of the world's member states. With Elizabello II becoming king, the world government will send representatives to negotiate a new system or tax tribute, etc.

This is something that world governments take very seriously.

After all, over the centuries, some newly enthroned kings of various kingdoms have broken away from the World Government as soon as they came to power.

All world governments ever want is stability and profit.

He must ensure that he has enough and stable followers, and also eliminate any traitors, only in this way can he securely rule the world as the boss.

I don’t know when.

In an inconspicuous corner of the hall, Hermes leaned against a pillar, arms crossed, listening with great interest to the noise and discussions.

Looking at Elizabeth II sitting on the throne, he did indeed have a slight air of imperial power, like a king who could hold the world in his hands and be with beautiful women in his lap, but only a slight air.

It should be an inherent attribute of that position.

Unfortunately, this is a world of the strong, where strength is the only true measure of power.

With Hermes' current power, taking Elizabello II's head wouldn't be too difficult, and he could even seize the throne with some maneuvering, although there would be a lot of trouble afterward.

About half an hour later.

End of the meeting.

Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by several guards, was preparing to return to her palace to change her clothes before dealing with some state affairs. She was exhausted, like a dog, since her coronation.

"who?"

The group stopped.

They all watched Hermes, who was leaning against a pillar not far away, with wary eyes. They could see clearly that the man seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

Queen Elizabeth II was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered.

The other person had been missing for so long, I thought they were dead.

"Don't be nervous, they're one of us."

Queen Elizabeth II signaled to the guards not to be nervous, as he could not afford to offend the person in front of him.

If the other party could single-handedly enter the palace and kill his foolish brother and the scythe-wielding assassin, then they could easily kill him now as well. Even with so many guards around him, Queen Elizabello II felt no sense of security.

Let's talk privately.

After Hermes finished speaking, he turned and left.

That attitude showed no respect for Elizabeth II; instead, it was like beckoning a subordinate, which angered many of the guards.

"You guys wait for me here."

Queen Elizabeth II gave the order and quickly followed.

"Who is that person, daring to be so disrespectful to His Majesty?"

The guards watched the two figures gradually disappear, feeling not only anger but also curiosity.

"Go check it out."

The lead guard seemed to be deep in thought, and as soon as he finished speaking, another guard left.

It is clear that although Queen Elizabeth II has ascended the throne, it is obviously not yet secure, and these guards may not all be loyal.

Here.

Hermes and Elizabeth II entered a room, which, judging from its furnishings, was not a bedroom, and there was no one else there.

"It's so good that you're still alive."

Queen Elizabeth II became very excited as soon as the door was closed.

We still have to put on a show.

"You're very quick too."

Hermes casually surveyed the room, then turned to look at Elizabeth II, getting straight to the point without waiting for a reply.

"The World Government will send someone in ten days, right?"

"Yes, it should be a new round of negotiations or handover, which is something that every new king of a world member state will encounter upon ascending the throne."

King Elizabeth II nodded; he was familiar with these basic rules.

“Perfect, you can negotiate with them. I don’t care what you’re willing to give up. I need the Navy Six Styles. Finger Pistol and Iron Body can be ruled out.”

"Is this what a transaction is?"

Queen Elizabeth II frowned slightly.

"This is just a deal to save your life; helping you kill the Scythe Assassin and ascend the throne doesn't count."

Hermes was very ruthless.

She did not want to have a romantic relationship with Elizabeth II.

"The Six Styles of the Navy are a secret naval technique, and they are not easy to obtain."

Queen Elizabeth II wanted to refute, but when she thought about her own life, she realized that even if it were a hundred or eighty styles, it would be worth it, because her life was priceless.

"What others can't do, you can."

"Compared to the stability of a member state and the heavenly gold it pays every year, the Six Styles are not very important to the World Government. After all, not everyone can master the Six Styles."

"Let me try."

Queen Elizabeth II hesitated for a moment before nodding.

He's not stupid.

This time, no matter what, there will be a huge loss. The Six Styles are very important to some people, but not necessarily to a major power.

An individual and a powerful force have different perspectives on issues.

"Come to me if you need to kill someone!"

To get Elizabeth II to do his best, Hermes did not choose to coerce her, but instead offered her some incentives.

"make a deal."

really.

Queen Elizabeth II smiled.

Although he is already the king, his position is still unstable. Moreover, the entire Kingdom of Prodens is in chaos, and it will take great power to bring order to the country.

As it happens, he needs Hermes' power.

This can be considered mutually beneficial.

"Mr. Jormungandr, if you don't mind, I hope you can take down the head of the violent family. I need to use this power to launch my first battle after ascending the throne and consolidate my power!"

Climb up the pole.

Queen Elizabeth II did not hold back, and the first to be dealt with was the violent family.

He urgently needs prestige to deter certain ministers or petty villains, and also wants to show the people of the Kingdom of Prodens that their new king has enough power to innovate, create, and rule.

"Do not disappoint me!"

Hermes did not refuse, but left a message and turned to leave.

It just so happens that he has some grudges with violent families, and he's still capable of fighting, so it's a piece of cake.
