The most courageous pirate hunter

"I don't know about the other one, but his hands can produce pink flames."

The three appeared one after another above the huge basin, with Hody Jones and Tezzolo exchanging glances and exchanging words.

"Not dead yet."

Mansherry looked towards a deep abyss crevice in the far distance, where she sensed two faint auras. She flashed to the spot, a vine appeared in her palm, and she pushed it aside. After a large amount of soil and rubble was cleared away, it was revealed to be Zefa and his companions.

However, Zephyr had already stopped breathing, and his posture was to block everyone's view. He must have sacrificed his life at a critical moment to buy the two of them a chance to live.

It can be confirmed that Shuzo is also dead.

Only Ain and Binz were still alive, but they were in a deep coma. If left unattended, they would die in less than ten minutes. Mansherry used vines to wrap around the two of them and healed them with her healing ability.

A person can die, but not now.

Because Monarch is collecting Devil Fruits.

Chapter 467 [Cultivation on Venus]

"Is the news confirmed?"

New World Naval Headquarters.

Red clouds swirled across the sky, but the villa was deathly still. Garp put down the intelligence he was holding, his left eye filled with exhaustion and powerlessness.

The crane opposite him had a gloomy face, and its expression was also somewhat unable to hold back.

They had just received news that Zephyr had died at the hands of Monarch, and that all his old friends had left one by one. Slowly, Garp's eyes welled up with tears, and he rested his head on one hand, clutching his hair, occasionally choking back sobs.

"It must be because of me."

"Jörmungandr said he would destroy everything and everyone connected to me."

He didn't say anything, because she was also very sad.

She didn't know how to comfort Karp.

Losing his grandson in his later years, and even his hometown being implicated as a result, and now his close relatives and friends are being retaliated against one by one, such a tragedy would have driven most people crazy with self-blame.

same moment.

Onigumo, Kasakatsuyama, and the others also learned of this news, and they all silently shed tears, because Zephyr was the teacher of all of them. Although he later left the Navy, the friendship and care they shared could never be severed.

For a time, most of the admirals in the navy were grieving.

In contrast, the outside world did not react much.

Because the Imperial Organization is so powerful, there is only one outcome for anyone who encounters it.

The scene shifts.

Venus.

The environment here is unsuitable for any life form, and its severity is no less than that of hell. However, since a few uninvited guests arrived three months ago, the peaceful planet Venus has begun to riot.

Boom boom boom! ! !

Above the scalding, spewing lava, two figures clashed, their fists striking each other like weapons, each move fraught with danger.

In an instant, it vanished from its original spot and reappeared a kilometer away, causing a massive mountain range to explode. Then, in another instant, it disappeared into the lava torrent, instantly forcing the lava torrent to break apart.

The very air trembled.

"Ten days and ten nights, right?"

"Damn, is the Multiply Fruit really that powerful?"

"It's so exciting!"

On the summit of a thousand-meter-high mountain, Burgess, Borsalino, Enel, Bruno, and Guyram all watched as the sky was filled with images of Hermes and Lucci battling.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that no one is wearing oxygen. This is because the area within a kilometer radius is covered by a transparent energy shield containing air, a technology created by Caesar.

I don't know the principle behind it, but it works really well.

Furthermore, there are palaces made of cube-shaped clay and rocks. Most importantly, the gravity within a radius of one thousand meters is abnormal, at least ten times that of the One Piece world. It is obvious that they are all the masterpieces of Guyram.

Originally, only Hermes, Lucci, and Guyram came to Venus to train, but in the following days, Bages and the others got bored and came along too.

They stayed on this planet for three months, and some made great progress while others made little progress.

Another day later.

A large mushroom cloud appeared on the horizon, and then Lucci and Hermes appeared out of thin air, covered in dust. Both of them were seriously injured, but they were completely healed in just a few breaths.

Hermes, in particular, has an exaggerated recovery speed that is even more terrifying than Lucci, a Zoan-type Awakener.

"This Devil Fruit is perfect for you."

Enter the energy shield.

Hermes was genuinely happy for Lucci. In just three months, Lucci had mastered the Multiply Fruit and could now multiply everything, whether it was strength, speed, defense, or external things.

If its power could be amplified to a certain extent during development, it would be even more terrifying.

Combined with the already awakened leopard form...

"You two are really weirdos."

"Hahaha~"

Burgess, sculpting his biceps, said something that made Enel and Borsalino both twitch. He spoke as if he weren't a pervert, even though Enel and Borsalino's worldviews had been shattered three months ago.

Despite the rumors circulating that the Hunter King might be a dual-type Devil Fruit user, this has never been confirmed, leaving both of them in a state of doubt.

It wasn't until later, when it was actually confirmed, that the two of them were truly screwed.

Is it possible that someone in this world can actually eat two Devil Fruits? Is Jormungandr destined to be the chosen one?

Later, it was learned that Hermes not only ate two Devil Fruits himself, but also generously allowed other members of Monarch to eat a second Devil Fruit. From then on, Borsalino and Enel's mentality changed somewhat.

"Everyone has made progress in the past three months, and Guyram is the biggest contributor. Let's get him drunk later!"

As Hermes walked toward the palace, he acknowledged Guyram's contribution.

Because Guyram ate the Gravity Fruit, everyone is currently training in a gravity field, where training is much more efficient.

Unfortunately, Guyram has only developed the gravity of the Gravity Fruit to five times. Hermes has fully adapted in the past three months, while others have either adapted or not.

Furthermore, Lucci can now survive in places without oxygen. In terms of the ability to return life, Lucci of Monarchy would dare to say he is second, and Hermes would dare to say he is first.

Bages and others are also working on life return in this area, but they are not able to do it yet.

"Hahaha~"

"With the Gravity Fruit, training will be much more convenient."

“BOSS, Tesoro called earlier and said they killed Black Arm Zephyr and captured two Devil Fruit users, it seems to be Paramecia-type Lush Fruit and Paramecia-type Rewind Fruit.”

After entering the palace and taking their seats.

Bruno briefly explained what was happening at sea.

"So what if we killed them?"

"This Regression Fruit is quite something, though, it involves time."

"If you two are interested, you can take a look at the Devil Fruit encyclopedia."

Hermes took the red wine poured by Bages, then looked at the silent Enel and Borsalino.

The two, who had been somewhat absent-minded, suddenly looked up at Hermes with intense gaze. Had they heard correctly? Did this man mean something?

"What do you mean, Boss?"

Borsalino wasn't ashamed at all; he called out "BOSS" with practiced ease, his heart pounding with excitement.

The more he interacted with this group of people, the clearer he became about how weak he was. Whether he admitted it or not, he was no match for any of them in a one-on-one fight.

You only have the power of one Devil Fruit, but others have two. How can you fight them?

The key is that some of them are even more domineering than you.

Moreover, Borsalino resigned himself to his fate. Rather than wallowing in despair, he decided to become stronger so that he could have more say in the future and even have the opportunity to leave.

Most importantly, he still needs to cooperate with the research.

If he becomes useless, they might strip him of his Glint-Glint Fruit, and then he'd be dead.

So Borsalino was also in a hurry.

I often toss and turn at night, unable to sleep.

It could be said that his situation was much more dangerous than Enel's.

"Once you join this organization, I will treat everyone the same."

Hermes took a sip of red wine. He didn't care. As the leader, he was absolutely confident that if he dared to give it, he had the ability to take it back. If he couldn't even do that, then he wouldn't have let Burgess and the others eat the second Devil Fruit in the first place.

Just like Blackbeard.

They are typically trying to maintain their advantages but lack sufficient vision and courage.

Back then, weren't all of these people traitors? But look at them now! Aren't they all completely devoted to him?
