The most courageous pirate hunter

"So, could you release my companion? After all, he's under my protection. Give me some face, Edward Newgate!"

Standing upright in mid-air.

Hermes appeared in the very center, looking somewhat unrestrained. He remained unusually calm in the face of the two menacing forces, even though these were two of the Four Emperors, and all of their subordinates were present.

Even more so, there were remnants of the Roger Pirates.

"Kula la~"

"You came just in time."

If Teach is a problem, then this person in front of him is a big problem. Ace has the ability to deal with the former, but he doesn't think Ace has the ability to take down the latter. He might even become the biggest obstacle in the future.

If we can take care of them here, things will be much easier for Ace in the future.

Moreover, given the deep-seated grudges between the two sides, it was already destined that they would fight to the death.

"Jormungandr, you will die here."

Rayleigh walked out with a grim face, holding a long sword. His chilling killing intent was undisguised, and Jabba and the others were also eager to make their move.

"Xiao Qi, I suddenly have a good idea. How about we join forces to wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates here? Afterwards, all of the Whitebeard Pirates' territory will be yours. I only need these people."

Hermes remained unconcerned by the threats from Whitebeard, Rayleigh, and others. As if remembering something, he crossed his arms and looked at Blackbeard, reasoning that given their love-hate relationship and Blackbeard's intelligence, he would likely agree.

Don't tell me yet.

Blackbeard's eyes lit up, and after analyzing the situation in his mind, he felt that there was great potential in it.

The key is Hermes's credibility, which he had previously enjoyed.

"Captain, it's feasible."

Laffitte and the others were also itching to join in. Their Blackbeard Pirates alone were no match for the Whitebeard Pirates and the remnants of the Roger Pirates, but with the addition of the Emperor Organization, things would be different.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

The Hunter King has a high level of credibility, and they can also gain the Whitebeard Pirates' territory. No matter how you look at it, it's a win. They might even be able to reconcile with Monarch through this incident, or even have more cooperation.

Van Ace?

what?

Who is Van Auger? I seem to have forgotten for now.

As long as there is enough profit, anything can be priced. What does temporary honor or disgrace matter? A smart person should seize the opportunity to strengthen themselves.

There will be plenty of time for revenge in the future.

"That's really despicable."

Seeing Blackbeard and the others pondering, Whitebeard's expression changed drastically. If the two really joined forces, they might be in great danger.

No matter how you look at it, it's not worth it.

“Teach, have you ever thought that we could join forces and take down Jormungandr here?”

"You know very well how troublesome the Monarchy Organization is. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Dealing with us is easy, but dealing with the Emperor Organization is a different story. Are you confident that you can defeat the Emperor Organization in the future struggle for supremacy?"

"Think about the humiliation you have suffered."

"For all forces, the most threatening organization is the Monarchy. Only by removing this cancerous tumor can any force have a chance to rise. Otherwise, they will continue to be suppressed by the Monarchy and will never have any opportunity."

Rayleigh extended an olive branch to Blackbeard, bypassing Whitebeard, determined not to let the two of them collude.

Whitebeard didn't say anything either, knowing that Rayleigh's approach was the most advantageous.

For a while.

Blackbeard became a hot commodity.

"Hehehe~"

After Rayleigh said that, Blackbeard suddenly woke up.

indeed.

Dealing with the Whitebeard Pirates was easy, but dealing with Monarch was a different story.

The key point is that Jormungandr also knows many of his secrets and has the means to strip someone of a Devil Fruit. Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that he might find a way to overcome his physical deformity in the future and thus eat a second Devil Fruit.

At that time, you will no longer be the only one, and your advantage will no longer exist.

This possibility is not impossible.

The major imperial organizations are too difficult to kill; in comparison, he has many ways to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates.

How to do.

One is the immediate benefit of destroying the Whitebeard Pirates and gaining territory; the other is the future benefit of eliminating the Hunter King, a formidable enemy, so that he can rest easy in the future and no one on this sea will be able to threaten him.

The key is that killing the Hunter King will elevate his reputation significantly, making it easier for him to recruit soldiers...

Furthermore, there's a chance to obtain the Monarch organization's legacy: artificial Devil Fruits, clones, and endless wealth...

As a ruthless and powerful figure.

One must have a long-term vision; a short-sighted perspective will only make one like a frog in a well, destined to achieve little.

The threat posed by the King of Hunters is far greater than that of any other monster!

Oh shit.

It's done!

The brave will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation.

He gladly accepted the legacy of the imperial organization.

Blackbeard acted decisively, without much hesitation, and boldly handed Jozu over to Whitebeard, making his meaning crystal clear: he agreed to cooperate in dealing with Monarch.

Between immediate and future benefits, he prefers future benefits.

He wanted to take another gamble.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

"What a pity. It seems you've used up all your luck on the Dark Fruit. Your future is destined to be unlucky."

Hermes lamented Blackbeard's choice.

That bastard wasn't very lucky; he made the wrong bet.

"Jormungandr, you are doomed this time."

"Today we will rid the people of this scourge."

"I never thought you'd end up like this, Jormungandr!"

Many voices rang out, gritting their teeth. Not to mention the Monarchy, even the entire World Government would have to kneel before the remnants of the Blackbeard Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, and the Roger Pirates.

Today, Jormungandr is destined to die here.

"Fine, you outnumber me and I can't win."

Hermes yawned, lazily stretched as he faced the overwhelming aura and killing intent, then reached into his pocket and pulled out more than thirty small, oval-shaped objects.

It was tossed and flung into the sky, instantly growing countless times larger, turning the entire sky dark in an instant.

Whitebeard, Rayleigh, Blackbeard, and the others all looked up, their previously confident expressions instantly turning pale. That enormous oval-shaped thing, no matter how you looked at it, was definitely not a good thing.

Somewhere.

Everyone's hair stood on end; they could smell death.

"A bunch of frogs in a well, how could you possibly know my methods? This era is called Jormungandr, and as for why it's called that, let Little Boy Art tell you!"

Hermes scoffed and made a gesture at the same time.

While everyone's attention was drawn to the little boy, a door appeared beneath Lucci, and a hand reached out and pulled Lucci inside, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The familiar scene caught everyone off guard.

You should know that this is how Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, fell.

The grass on the grave mounds has been growing bald again and again.

"not good!"

"Rob Lucci has been rescued."

"It was the person who opened the door."

Amidst a chorus of curses, Hermes vanished into thin air.

Meanwhile, in the alternate dimension, Bages, carrying Lucci, and the group were quickly moving away from Jingjing Island. Mansherry squeezed out two drops of blood, which landed on Lucci and Hadori. With an incomparably dazzling green light, the man and the bird quickly became lively and energetic.

"Hahaha~"

"How did they get beaten so badly?"

Hody Jones laughed as he watched Lucci gradually recover.

"They were ganged up on and beaten up."

Lucci glanced around and found that all the members of Monarch were there.
