The most courageous pirate hunter

Chapter 439 [The worst part is that they're not even human]

You will die by my hand!

Garp was no longer as angry as before; on the contrary, he was unusually calm, with no ripples in his eyes.

This man is going to die, and he must die.

Even if it means mutual destruction.

He has lost everything, and there is nothing left to lose.

Click! ! !

A bolt of lightning struck, illuminating their faces. The next second, the intense beams of light collided, and a series of earth-shattering explosions erupted from the center of the chaos.

Karp slammed his knee into Hermes' chest, and with a muffled thud, Hermes coughed up blood and flew out of the air.

Wow...

The gravel tumbled and rolled, and a ravine stretched to its end.

The next second, a violent hurricane swept through, blowing up the ruins. Hermes stood up from the hurricane, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stared at Karp, panting heavily. The surrounding ground melted rapidly due to the extremely high body temperature.

He had a premonition.

He will surely gain something from this battle.

He would never teleport away unless he was truly at his wit's end.

Because there are not many people in this world who can threaten him anymore, if these people die, he will have no enemies, and it will be difficult for him to reach higher realms.

If he could, he would want to become stronger and stronger.

The only shortcut is to fight and experience death, because great terror often accompanies life and death, but also great opportunities. Back when he first left the beginner village, he rose to prominence in such a short time by dancing on the edge of a knife.

Over the years, he hasn't actually gotten much stronger; it's all been a matter of gradual, persistent effort.

Moreover, it becomes increasingly difficult to make progress as you go further.

The key is that there are some unfathomable big shots in this world, such as Im from Mary Geoise, whose gender is unknown.

Huhuhu~

A gust of wind swept through, the ground beneath their feet collapsed, and they walked close to the ground, their arms colliding heavily as they moved like streaks of light amidst the earth-shattering explosion.

In an instant, the air pressure surged outwards from the two of them, causing chaos and upheaval along its path.

The fractured seabed trembled, the atmosphere rippled, and the tsunami roared.

A blink of an eye.

The two men's knees collided and they slowly rose into the air, creating ripples that spread and exploded continuously!

The entire broken sky crackled with lightning and thunder, and two figures colliding appeared and disappeared in the out-of-control sky.

Piercing through clouds and splitting rocks.

The hurricane continued to wreak havoc, creating a visually devastating scene.

Rumble.

A mushroom cloud rose up, and an entire section of the earth's crust cracked open, leaving behind a bottomless abyss, which made the surging lava erupt even more ferocious.

Two long streaks of light flashed by, splitting the flowing seawater and creating a break in the current; the battle had already surpassed the sonic boom.

"These two."

The farthest place.

Baroric, Barrett, Enel, and the others were all unable to remain calm, because the battle between Hermes and Garp had exceeded their expectations, and if they were to deal with it, they would find it difficult to gain the upper hand.

The odds of winning are slim.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to these proud and arrogant people, especially Barrett, who was obsessed with becoming the strongest in the world and believed that he had surpassed Roger.

But now, both Hermes and Garp have shown power far beyond his expectations. Whether he admits it or not, he may not be their match.

"How could we miss such a feast?"

"I want to see just how far these two can fight."

Baroric vanished in a flash, choosing to follow and watch the battle.

"Walk!!!"

Karas and Xiong did not hesitate and followed in the air. They needed to know Jormungandr's location at all times, because the dragon was already on its way.

Borsalino, Enel, Barrett, Crocodile, and others also followed.

Only a few people gave up.

Wano Country is located in the New World.

It is a closed country that never receives outsiders, does not join the world government, and is even inaccessible to naval ships, but it is now opening up.

The island is unique; it's a coastline without an open sea, surrounded only by cliffs and waterfalls.

To get to the island, you need to climb the cliff and waterfall.

Currently, the ruler of Wano Country is Kozuki Momonosuke, that's right, the son of Kozuki Oden, Kozuki Momonosuke, because the Monarchy organization wiped out the Beasts Pirates.

Therefore, the Nine Red Scabbards and others gathered together and overthrew the rule of Kurozumi Orochi.

Without the Beasts Pirates as its backing, Orochi was no match for the Nine Red Scabbards, so he had no choice but to give up his position as Shogun and hide somewhere, like a venomous snake, waiting for his chance to take revenge.

It must be said that Orochi is good at taking things in stride.

Knowing that the situation was hopeless, he decisively abandoned everything in preparation for a comeback.

So he took all the treasure with him, leaving Kozuki Momonosuke and the Nine Red Scabbards with only a dilapidated general's mansion, and this was all when he learned that the Beasts Pirates had been wiped out and that Kaido was the only one left.

Orochi further enslaved Wano Country, raising taxes to 80 percent and executing all those who resisted, thus consolidating almost all of the country's wealth into his hands.

Therefore, Wano Country is poorer than ever before. If the people lived in dire straits before, they are now in hell, even worse than being in dire straits.

The crucial point is that Orochi is not human; he uses the Kozuki family's name to plunder wealth.

It can be said that the Wano Country that Momonosuke and the Nine Red Scabbards reclaimed was a complete mess that was difficult to salvage and beyond repair. It was so dilapidated that it could easily lead to widespread discontent and peasant uprisings.

"hateful."

"Damn Kurozumi Orochi."

General's Mansion.

Kozuki Momonosuke knelt behind the desk. The Nine Red Scabbards and others were also in the room, each of them looking worried and exhausted.

"Still no news about Kurozumi Orochi?"

“That treacherous fellow has plundered all the wealth. If we can catch him, we can find the treasure and distribute it to the people of Wano Country.”

"No, that despicable guy has disappeared somewhere."

"damn it."

"More than a hundred people starved to death in Jiuli the day before yesterday."

"Even in the most prosperous flower capital, there are beggars everywhere."

"I've heard that in some places, people are already eating human flesh."

"what?"

"Bandits have appeared in various places now. They have no food, so..."

For an instant.

The room felt suffocating, and everyone's faces turned pale. They couldn't imagine what Raizo meant by cannibalism.

Boom! ! !

A loud bang rang out without warning, and then the general's mansion began to shake. No, it should be said that the entire Flower Capital, and even the entire island of Wano Country, began to tremble.

The once clear sky suddenly turned upside down with dark clouds, and countless bolts of lightning crashed down, causing fires in the city and forests.

It was a scene straight out of the apocalypse.

"An earthquake...?"

Momonosuke couldn't maintain his kneeling position and fell face-first to the ground. His little face was full of panic and fear. He was just a child and had never seen anything like this before.

It feels like the general's mansion is about to collapse.

"The breath of a strong man."

"not good."

"Could it be that a powerful figure is fighting in Wano Country?"

"Go out and see!"

Kin'emon, Denjiro, and the others walked outside, but as soon as they stepped out of the general's mansion, their faces turned ashen, for what they saw was as if the world had been destroyed.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, with lightning flashing within. Every now and then, bolts of lightning struck down and struck the town, causing numerous fires and building collapses. Screams and wails could be heard everywhere.
