The most courageous pirate hunter

Fireworks burst forth, connecting heaven and earth, surrounded by four halos of light. The lightning-streaked sky was pushed aside, engulfing an area of ​​100 kilometers in radius, and the tumultuous shockwave continued to sweep across the land.

The dragon used every means at its disposal, but even so it was severely injured. Blood flowed from its seven orifices on the spot, and it screamed in agony. It turned into a stream of light that crossed the sky and finally crashed into the ruins after passing through a mountain range. Its breath was fluctuating.

"Cough cough cough~"

With great difficulty, Long crawled out of the rubble and mud. He stood up shakily, his face covered in blood. He lost his balance and knelt on one knee, blood dripping from his mouth and nose.

There must be a way to control the other party.

No ability is without flaws.

"AOE - King's Fist".

Imagination is beautiful, but reality is exceptionally cruel.

Hermes gave the dragon no chance at all, teleporting to its side in an instant. The blazing sun expanded again, still so close and warm.

"Jörmungandr!!!"

A hysterical roar.

Despite his physical discomfort, Long used all his strength to block the sun, until an identical sun appeared in the sky, its intense light destroying and obscuring everything.

Before the riots even stopped.

Hermes teleported to a canyon, and the aura of creation emanating from his right fist once again burst forth.

At this moment, the dragon, deeply mired in the mud, was panting weakly with a ferocious expression.

how is this possible.

Why is this beast able to continuously unleash such inhumane attacks?

"AOE - King's Fist".

The third sun rose to answer the dragon's question.

The farthest place.

Barrett had no chance to make a move because Hermes simply didn't give him one. He vanished in an instant, and by the time Barrett caught up, panting, he had already changed positions.

"No...."

In that magnificent explosion.

A voice filled with resentment and anger gradually faded away.

Chapter 500 [The True God]

really.

There's nothing that a single punch from the King of Fighters can't solve. If it can't, then throw a second, a third punch, until you're completely exhausted and dead.

Even now, Hermes is grateful that he learned the King's Fist and the Elbaf Spear back then, and then used his life to make up for the flaws. As he expected, it was a bug-level ability.

Even someone as powerful as Monkey D. Dragon was defeated in just three moves.

The mushroom cloud continued to rise into the sky.

Hermes appeared and grabbed at the center, producing a severed arm in his hand. This was the only thing the dragon had left in the world. After returning, he could extract the bloodline factor, which would have great value.

A dodge.

Hermes reappeared before Barrett.

Barrett's feelings were complicated at this moment. Although he had not fought the dragon, the senses between strong people told him that the most likely way to kill the dragon was to perish together with it.

But Jormungandr wiped out the dragon with overwhelming force.

"How did you cultivate?"

Barrett took a deep breath, and the mountains and rivers within a radius of a thousand meters began to awaken and assimilate. He knew he couldn't escape, so he could only fight with all his might to leave no regrets.

dead.

He too will die in battle.

Before he died, he wanted to know how Hermes cultivated his strength, which was clearly beyond the norm. As a top-tier expert, Barrett knew how difficult it was to advance further.

In layman's terms, the power ceiling in this world is the top of the pyramid, which can be said to be the end. Hermes is different; he broke the balance of the ceiling simply by eating two Devil Fruits.

Is there no limit?

"Jie Jie~"

"All you need to do is sweat more and bleed more, but the most important thing is still the golden finger and intelligence. I am different from you all, so you will never understand."

Hermes shrugged.

If he were an indigenous person, he would probably be like Barrett and others, having reached a dead end.

While Hermes may not have any cheat codes, he certainly doesn't have those systems or grandpas. But if he did, it wouldn't be just one or two cheat codes, but many.

In summary, time travel is his biggest advantage.

"fart."

Barrett was very dissatisfied with Hermes' answer. If becoming stronger meant shedding more blood and sweat, he would have been invincible and at the very top of the world long ago.

Looking back on his life, even if he were to go through it all again, he might not be able to survive. He has paid more blood and sweat than anyone else on the sea.

He wasn't completely invincible.

"never mind."

"Defeating you will prove that I have surpassed Roger and become the strongest in the world."

"Large bullet".

With an aura as deep as an abyss, Barrett activated the awakened power of the Fusion Fruit, his domineering aura covering an area of ​​several thousand meters, and a colossal beast a thousand meters tall began to rise from the ground.

The sky, still amidst the flashes of lightning and thunder, paused for a moment.

A vast darkness enveloped the land. Barrett, inside the body of a thousand-meter-tall monster, roared to the sky and pounded the ground with his hands, his destructive power devastating.

"A fusion fruit?"

"His domineering aura is truly impressive."

Hermes stood in mid-air, looking at the thousand-meter-tall behemoth and the crystalline aura covering its body, and couldn't help but marvel at Barrett's power, wondering how it was defeated in the original story.

And that Golden Lion guy too.

Each one of them is far beyond the standard.

"Ultimate Giant Cannon".

At this moment, Barrett was invincible. His fist, as large as a mountain, burning with domineering flames, hurtled towards Hermes, sweeping across the atmosphere. If someone were hit by it, they would be bedridden for at least a few years.

"Jie Jie~"

Hermes vanished in an instant, reappearing in another direction. Looking at Barrett, whose fighting spirit was soaring, he said, "I estimate you're only a thousand meters away. In my eyes, you're just a little brother."

"Today I'll show you what true size and invincibility are."

As soon as the words fell.

Hermes rapidly grew in size, from 500 meters to 1,000 meters to 2,000 meters, finally settling at 3,000 meters, looking down at Barrett as if he were a baby.

Surrounded by monstrous creatures, Barrett looked up, completely bewildered.

how is this possible.

This is not a dream, right?

"Barrett, take this from the god."

Hermes drew his black sword, Yoru, from his waist, used his Small-Size Fruit powers to grow to 5,000 meters, then raised it high, piercing through the atmosphere, and then slashed at Barrett with earth-shattering force.

The battlefield, now nearly over, was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was terrified when they saw the towering man wielding a massive, cleaver.

"impossible."

"Ultimate Giant Cannon".

Barrett roared to the sky, but his voice trembled.

With his fists clenched and his arms thrown back, he unleashed all his domineering power, capable of uprooting mountains. But to Hermes, they were just two steamed buns, nothing more than marbles compared to his enlarged black sword, Night.

boom! ! !

An unimaginable force descended.

The earth trembled, and a monstrous tsunami swept across the land, centered on the two giants, causing everything in its path to explode and crumble. Suddenly, a furious roar resounded.

The thousand-meter-tall monster's hands shattered, and then its massive body was cleaved in two.

A deep canyon appeared on the land.

"A world in the palm of your hand".

The three-thousand-meter-tall Hermes, wielding a five-thousand-meter-long greatsword, was engulfed in raging purple-white flames. His flame-like white hair soared into the sky, and his red-based white pupils resembled two stars. He then raised his sky-covering left hand and pressed it down on the crystal monster that had been split in two.
