The most courageous pirate hunter

"I can tell you definitively that everything and everyone connected to you will be completely destroyed by me."

"You've successfully angered me."

"Maximum AOE - King's Fist".

Hermes roared hysterically, and a purple-white sun, as large as an island, descended upon the earth, its power unleashed.

If you don't succeed, you'll be left running.

In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth caved in.

The ground began to melt even before the sun arrived, and the surrounding seas evaporated.

Amidst the ruins, Kapu flew into a rage. Hermes' threat fueled his fury, and the radiant Buddhist light emanating from his body coalesced into a gigantic Buddha behind him. He then began to blast his hands toward the sky.

Buzz! ! !

"Die to me."

Two world-destroying forces collided, and Hermes, bleeding from all seven orifices, swung his weapon with all his might, completely disregarding his somewhat collapsing body, roaring like a wild beast.

Under the sun, Garp's feet sank deep into the ground, causing the island to crumble, and he exerted all his strength to die. This man must die, he must die.

"Wake it up for me."

Veins bulged on his neck as Garp roared, and the stagnant purple-white sun began to slowly rise again. His invincible desire for revenge made him unleash his full power.

"Then let's die together! Explode!"

boom! ! ! !

The world lost its light, with only endless flames from the explosion. At the very center, a mushroom cloud that stretched as far as the eye could see gradually expanded and rose, surrounded by four halos of light that connected the upper and lower parts of the sky and pushed outwards.

The island where the two fought quickly disappeared.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere that had created the breach began to push horizontally, and the surrounding sea area had completely evaporated, exposing the deep seabed. At the same time, a massive tsunami was sweeping in all directions.

"finished?"

"Damn it, how can the fight between these two be so terrifying?"

"It's been ten days and ten nights."

The farthest place.

Figures appeared in different directions, watching a single point of light appear on the horizon, growing larger at a visible speed, its terrifying destructive power rushing towards them.

These people were none other than Barrolik, Barrett, Crocodile, Morgans, Karas, Borsalino, and others who had been following behind.

No one can remain calm now; their hearts are filled with complex emotions.

They witnessed the ten days and ten nights of battle firsthand. Whether they admit it or not, those two had reached the pinnacle and could be considered the best in the world!

"This is big news!"

Morgans, holding a Den Den Mushi (snail phone), continued reporting on the battle. Although the specific details of the fight were unclear, the devastating explosions still left the outside world breathless.

----

There will be a chapter later.

These past few days have been filled with harvesting rapeseed, planting rice seedlings, and digging potatoes. I've been so busy I'm practically on fire, which is why my updates have been so slow. Sorry, sorry! Please keep loving me, everyone!

Chapter 444 [Questioning the Possession of Two Devil Fruits]

Snapped! ! !

Scattered rubble slid down, and a large, blood-soaked hand reached out. As a cloud of dust billowed, Garp emerged, pale-faced and weak, clearly not in good condition.

However, their disheveled appearance was somewhat unbearable to look at.

He didn't check his own injuries, but instead quickly searched for Hermes. As long as that man wasn't dead, he would continue fighting, endlessly.

"Cough cough~"

In the ruins in the distance.

Hermes crawled out with one hand like a dog, his breath weaker than Garp's, and he was in a worse state than before. He had almost no strength or Haki left, and he was no longer able to fight.

Fortunately, he had a backup plan.

Make sure you have enough stamina to teleport away.

"Jörmungandr!!!"

Karp walked step by step toward Hermes, his face contorted in a ferocious, bloodshot gaze and his single eye gleaming red. Hermes, too, stood up shakily, his legs trembling uncontrollably, until he could only lean against a pile of rubble.

"Old man, you're still not dead even at this stage."

Watching Garp slowly recover his strength, Hermes twitched his lips, utterly exasperated. Were Zoan-type Mythical Beasts really that overpowered? Were they really invincible?

While I was teetering on the brink of collapse, my opponent gradually regained their vitality; their stamina was truly impressive.

"This battle was truly eye-opening."

"Karp, Jormungandr!"

The atmosphere remained tense, but then several figures appeared one after another. Baroric landed on a broken rock, his emerald red eyes looking at Hermes and Karp with a complex expression.

I've weighed it.

The two could easily become his lifelong rivals.

"I've never admired anyone except Roger, but now I'll add two more!"

Barrett also had a complicated expression, but his eyes were full of fighting spirit. He was very sure that as long as he defeated these two, he could surpass Roger. However, in a one-on-one fight, he did not have an absolute chance of winning.

"Jormungandr, it seems you are doomed to die today."

"Most of those present are your enemies; you have nowhere to escape."

Karasu, Kuma, and Ivankov wore grim expressions. The deaths of Sabo and Luffy left them unsure how to face Dragon. The only thing they could do was to retrieve Jormungandr's head.

zizi~

A flash of lightning flickered, and Enel silently stared at Hermes.

Borsalino, Smoker, and Magellan were all eager to make their move, wanting to tear Hermes's prize to pieces, while Crocodile, Morgans, and the others remained calm.

Is the era of "the world's most courageous man" coming to an end today?

"The King of Hunters has offended too many people, and they are all renowned and powerful figures."

"In the end, the naval hero who ate the Mythical Zoan-type Buddha Fruit won this ten-day, ten-night battle."

"What about the other members of the Monarchy organization?"

"I left in Dressrosa."

Those watching the live stream were all glued to the screen. Some sighed, some were angry, some cursed, and some sneered. At this point, everyone knew that the Hunter King was powerless to reverse the situation.

There are just too many people who have a grudge against him.

"Impossible, how could my idol lose?"

"Those trash dare to call themselves strong? If they're so capable, let them fight the King of Hunters one-on-one."

"Is anyone nearby? Go and save the Hunter King. He's the god who gives us hope."

"I owe everything I am today to the training method revealed by the Hunter King. No matter how far away I am, I will go to save him."

Regardless of how lively it was outside, at this moment, Hermes looked at the people around him and suddenly burst into laughter, extremely arrogant and unrestrained. However, his empty eye sockets and torn face made him look extremely ferocious.

shhhhhh! ! !

Sudden.

As Hermes laughed wildly, the sound of air being torn apart came from different directions, and soon figures appeared in mid-air, their appearance once again startling the outside world.

"Revolutionary Army leader Monkey D. Dragon."

"Eastern Army Commander, Western Army Commander..."

"Those must be the Five Elders!"

"My God! The King of Hunters really has nowhere to run this time."

“Even important figures from the Revolutionary Army and the World Government have appeared.”

The atmosphere became eerie with the arrival of these people.

However, both sides chose to ignore each other and focus all their attention on Hermes. Today's opportunity was hard-won, and they finally managed to severely damage this beast.

"Jie Jie~"

"They couldn't all have come here for me, could they?"

Hermes initially appeared arrogant, but then turned sarcastic.

drag.

He could stall for a while longer, as his strength was recovering. The longer he could stall, the better it would be for him. He didn't mind talking a bit, since it wouldn't delay him from going home for dinner.

"Dragon, Luffy, and Sabo..."
