The most courageous pirate hunter

Monarchy disappeared for five years, so how did Jormungandr suddenly reappear?

We must inform the marshal of this news.

But the other party's methods were too shocking; they themselves were shrunk to countless times their original size.

Even the Pluto warship is the same.

Truly unpredictable!

"Whoosh!"

"This guy looks familiar. Isn't he Vice Admiral Onigumo from the Marine Headquarters?" Caesar pulled out a magnifying glass from somewhere, looked at Onigumo's forced calm expression, and then turned his gaze to Coles.

"Boss, where did you catch this? It's completely useless!"

"The Oni Spider is indeed useless. The only useful thing is probably this Hades warship, so I'm giving it all to you."

"This person is my target. I didn't expect that it would take so long for the failed attempt to extract the Phoenix Fruit to finally appear on the sea."

Hermes was conducting research deep within the research lab when his Observation Haki revealed the battle between Coles and Onigumo.

Crucially, Coles is also a new generation of Phoenix Fruit user.

His research happened to encounter some minor problems, and he urgently needed new research mice.

The phoenix was just right, because it was researching the return of life.

"Phoenix?"

"These are yours."

Hermes left behind the Spider Demon and the Hades warship, and took Coles deep into the research lab.

Not a moment later.

Upon arriving at the private research lab, one finds it filled with all sorts of strange and unusual things.

Now Hermes dares to call himself a scientist, and his achievements are quite considerable.

After all, he took a shortcut in life.

Wow!

With the power of the Big-Small Fruit fading, Coles instantly returned to his normal size and flew out of the research room without a second thought.

This is one of the most courageous and legendary figures in the world, with countless titles.

When others were pioneering new eras, he was probably still wearing open-crotch pants.

"what happened."

The lab door was only ten meters away, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't fly out. It was as if he was stuck in the same spot, or as if the door was moving further and further away.

Like a bird in a cage.

"Luo!"

Hermes ignored Coles and instead called out softly. With the activation of his teleportation fruit ability, Law appeared out of thin air on God Island.

Within the range of his Observation Haki, he can teleport to anything.

"Make sure he doesn't die."

Hermes didn't even glance at the puppet-like Luo, but instead reached out and grabbed at Coles from a distance. The next second, something incredible happened: a kidney appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"what!"

At that moment, Coles screamed in agony, feeling as if his kidneys had been ripped out alive.

Looking back, I saw fear on his face.

Could the kidney in the Hunter King's hand be...?

What just happened?

"Ordinary kidneys".

Hermes tossed it aside; what he wanted to study was the Phoenix's regenerative flame.

As for teleporting away Coles's kidney, it was to see if the Flame of Regeneration could regenerate another kidney.

Obviously, yes.

At this moment, the flames of regeneration were burning within Coles' body, and soon a kidney was formed.

This is exactly the characteristic Hermes wanted.

"What did you do to me? How could you take my kidney out of thin air?"

Coles was terrified.

If I hadn't been in full beast form just now, my kidneys probably wouldn't have survived.

At the same time, they were terrified of the Hunter King's methods.

Wasn't it said that the Hunter King's Devil Fruit was a Paramecia-type fruit of the size of a human?

How can internal organs be removed remotely?

"Don't be afraid. It's just the teleportation fruit's ability to retrieve objects from a distance. If your Armament Haki is strong enough, you can block it."

Hermes casually replied, and then reached out and grabbed Coles, who appeared out of thin air. By the time Coles realized what was happening, Coles' neck was already being grabbed.

"This Flame of Regeneration is very interesting."

Looking closely at the flames burning around Coles's body, he felt that once he figured it out, his regenerative abilities would be even stronger.

In the past five years, Hermes has made great progress with both the large and small Devil Fruits and the Teleportation Fruit.

Furthermore, both large and small fruits have awakened.

After all, they had studied the memories of many awakened ability users.

Everything came together naturally.

As for the move just now, it was a technique developed from the Teleportation Fruit, named Teleportation.

As long as someone is within the range of Observation Haki and lacks strong Haki, Hermes can teleport away any organ he wants.

It can also teleport anything into an enemy's body, such as bombs, poison, swords, etc.

It kills silently and is impossible to guard against.

It can be described as the work of a god.

There are other moves as well.

Compared to the much-improved Big-Small Fruit and Teleport Fruit, Hermes's two-color Haki and Life Return also show significant progress.

However, it's impossible to improve the size of the Devil Fruit and the teleportation fruit anytime soon. Only the two types of Haki and the Life Return technique still offer a chance.

"Please let me go."

With fate gripped by the throat, Coles pleaded.

But what awaited Coles was an inhumane experiment.

that's it.

Ten days.

One month.

Half a year.

Hermes remained deep within Egerhead's research lab, gaining a thorough understanding of Coles.

The one wielding the knife is Luo. Within the surgical space, even if Coles is cut to pieces, he won't die.

"The boss hasn't shown up for the past six months?"

Dusk falls.

Today, Vegapunk, Caesar, Queen, and Judge rarely eat together.

The number of times was countable on one hand in the past five and a half years.

"It seems so. We've been in the research lab ever since we captured the new Phoenix Ability User six months ago."

"By the way, the Phoenix Fruit must be ripe by now!"

"There are still a few days left."

Vegapunk made a rough estimate.

He once successfully created a mythical beast in the form of a blue dragon, but discarded it because he considered it a failure due to its different color.

With Caesar, Queen, and Judge collaborating this time, the artificial Phoenix Fruit still has a different color, but none of the three of them have Vegapunk's obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness.

Give it time.

Monarchy possesses more than just Zoan-type and Ancient-type Devil Fruits.

"Quinn, how's the improvement project for the little boy you're in charge of going?"

Judge took a swig of wine. The four of them had each other's memories, so each of them was responsible for different research projects.

"I improved it into a big boy two years ago, but it will take some time to improve it into an old boy. The main reason is that I want to compress it to the size of a fist, while keeping the power the same."
