The most courageous pirate hunter

After about five hours, Hermes arrived at a group of reefs. Not far away, there was a crevice in the reef that was about the height of a person. Hermes stood on the deck and then crouched down to activate the Mini Fruit.

Visible to the naked eye.

The giant Death Ship began to shrink, and Hermes shrank along with it, eventually settling into a miniature form of thirty centimeters. The Death Ship thus safely entered the crevice.

Now we don't have to worry about the Death Ship being discovered.

If Hermes could carry the Death Horn, he would shrink down and carry it with him. Normally, it would be like training with a heavy load, and in wartime, he would use it to smash people. It would definitely have unexpected effects.

After concealing the Death Horn, Hermes took to the air using Moonwalk and quickly disappeared into the forest.

"King Riku has gone too far."

“Our king has changed.”

"We pay so much in taxes every year, and now they want us to give them all our cash? They're telling us to go die."

“Tyrant, King Riku has become a tyrant.”

Lovers' Avenue.

One of the most famous streets in Dressrosa is the famous Lovers' Street, where you can often see many couples in love on dates.

However, compared to before, Lovers' Avenue is now filled with an atmosphere of anger and darkness.

There were very few pedestrians on the street.

Every now and then you can hear people talking, and between the lines they are all expressing their dissatisfaction with the current king, King Riku.

Their previous king was not like this. Although he did not achieve anything great or improve the country's economic welfare, he was at least a benevolent ruler who was charitable and often provided aid to war-torn countries, so the people trusted him.

King Riku changed recently.

Not only are taxes being raised, but now citizens are being asked to give him all their cash.

This is nothing short of tyrannical behavior.

Many people don't understand why King Riku became so cruel.

"What a coincidence?"

Sitting in an open-air café, Hermes had already heard many passersby talking.

Look at this posture.

It seems Doflamingo is about to take Dressrosa. I never imagined I'd have the chance to witness Doflamingo's rise to power.

the other side.

The Don Quixote family's estate.

Almost all members of the Donquixote Family were present, including Doflamingo.

"Hehehe, Dover, we've found out who hurt Jorah."

"Tell me!"

Doflamingo sat on the sofa, swirling a glass of red wine in his hand. He had only arrived in Dressrosa that morning and planned to begin taking over Dressrosa tomorrow.

The plan was all prepared and perfected. Although it was a bit ahead of schedule, it did not affect the final result.

"Hermes Jormungandr is a hero of the neighboring kingdom of Prodense. He first appeared in Prodense as a pirate hunter, then helped Elizabello II ascend the throne. For the next three years, he purged pirate groups and violent organizations within the kingdom, consolidating Elizabello II's power."

He was deeply respected and worshipped by the people of the Kingdom of Prodin, and thus had many titles, such as King of the Hunts, Reaper of Death, and Hunter King.

“G~”

"This guy is actually quite capable."

To Doflamingo's left, a bald old man with bulging veins on his head comically makes a "G" sign with both hands, his expression somewhat disdainful.

"Fufufu~"

"We are about to capture Dressrosa, and the other side is a hero of the Kingdom of Prodin. Things will get a little complicated then."

"Torrebol, what abilities does the opponent possess?"

Diamanti, a key figure in the government, remarked that the other side was no weakling, having consolidated King Elizabeth II's power in such a short time.

"It is suspected to possess the Six Powers of the Navy and the ability to grow bigger and smaller, which should be the power of a Devil Fruit."

Two days' time.

It's enough for Torrepol to investigate a lot of things.

“Young Master, if we were to take action, we might antagonize the Kingdom of Prodin.”

"How is Jorah doing now?"

Doflamingo finished his drink but did not give Trebol a direct answer.

"Fortunately, Jorah has the healing ability of that little human, so he is not in mortal danger, but he is still in a coma. I believe he will wake up soon."

"Young Master, would you like some more red wine?"

Just as Trebol finished speaking, a beautiful girl dressed in a maid outfit with long black hair walked in, holding a bottle of red wine, and looking at Doflamingo expectantly.

“Baby-5, I’d like a cup.”

Diamanti snapped his fingers and raised his empty wine glass.

“I am needed.”

The previously composed Baby-5 suddenly blushed deeply!

She contracted a strange illness.

He is unable to refuse anyone who needs him and has a high degree of mental fastidiousness, which has resulted in a debt of up to 50 million Berries, making him one of the most eccentric members of the Don Quixote family.

However, this oddball also has her merits, such as being very beautiful with a curvy and shapely figure, a true beauty.

They are also very capable.

She is a Paramecia-type Weapon-Weapon Fruit user. Normally she is a maid, but when she is on a mission she is an assassin. When she is needed, she is gentle and virtuous, but when she is not needed, she is a raging tigress.

"Have you found out where they are?"

Doflamingo raised his glass and asked Trebol again.

Baby-5, meanwhile, happily poured red wine.

"Brumuru."

Just then, the sound of a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) rang out from one of the tables.

It's a work Den Den Mushi (snail phone) from Torrepol.

"please wait a while."

Torrepol answered the Den Den Mushi, nodded occasionally, and then hung up.

"Hehehe, what a coincidence."

“Dover, someone just spotted the other ship on the coastline, and it looks pretty much like what Jorah’s men described.”

"Find their whereabouts, and then Rao G. can take care of them. Since we're here in Dressrosa, let's stay here forever!"

Doflamingo never lets anyone who provokes him get away with it.

Unless there are unforeseen circumstances.

"Young Master, I'm going too! I'm going too!"

Baby-5 excitedly raised her little hand; she hadn't been out and about in a long time since she came to Dressrosa on a mission.

My two maid outfits are outdated and I need to get new ones.

There are also some over-the-knee socks, garter stockings, lace, and the like.

She's a woman who strives for perfection.

Doflamingo didn't speak, he just waved his hand.

Chapter 47 [This Traitor]

Lovers' Avenue.

Hermes randomly picked a couples' hotel, decorated in pink and cozy colors, and it even had everything needed for couples' activities.

There were many things Hermes had never seen before.

It seems there are many things involved here, and he still has some difficulty grasping them.

The water is deep.

I must remain humble and work hard to learn in the future.

Here.

Rao G and Baby-5 have mobilized the Donquixote Family's forces to search for Hermes. Their forces had already invaded Dressrosa months ago to prepare for their next move.

Investigating someone is incredibly easy.

After all, some of Hermes' characteristics were learned from Jorah's men, and with money to burn, as long as Hermes was still in Dressrosa, finding his whereabouts was only a matter of time.
