The most courageous pirate hunter

“I fed them Pen-Pen Fruit and Book-Book Fruit, which have very grand names: Creation Pen and Creation Book.”

"Uh~"

Everyone twitched their lips.

A pen of creation? A book of creation? They're a perfect match for the creator god!

They all knew that this man could be quite childish at times, and a bit like a teenager with delusions of grandeur, especially in the later stages.

"Go in and experience it for yourself! It's just like the real world."

"Haha~ I'll give it a try first!"

Hody Jones took the lead, reaching out to touch the first page before being sucked in, followed by everyone else.

Hermes didn't go in; instead, he teleported to the Calm Belt of the pirate planet, found a random island, and had Night stay there before going in.

As soon as Hermes entered, the night outside no longer maintained the appearance of the Book of Creation, but instead transformed into a giant pink dragon. This did not affect anything; Hermes and the others could simply emerge from the pink dragon's body, just like the book shaped like a dragon.

"The world in the book?"

"Similar to Bruno's alternate dimension and the mirror world created by the Mirror-Mirror Fruit?"

Inside the Book of Genesis.

The Sky Island was still the same Sky Island. The group stood on the island of gods and observed it with their Observation Haki. It was no different from when they were in the outside world. But who knew that they were inside a book?

Incredible, all-encompassing abilities.

"It's just that the space is a bit cramped."

Enel discovered that his Observation Haki could only cover the entire Sky Island, and there was an invisible barrier outside. Although it looked vast and boundless, there was actually nothing there.

“Those blank spaces can be added, like this.”

Hermes then appeared, and Vangufried, now transformed into the Creation Pen, was held in his hand, drawing in the air. "Vangufried ate the Pen Fruit, which allows him to turn what he draws into reality."

Not a moment later.

A sun is born.

A starry sky was born.

A golden floating island was born, and a divine dragon, a phoenix, a black tortoise, and a white tiger appeared before everyone's eyes as a reality.

"To my surprise, the combination of the Pen-Pen Fruit and the Book-Book Fruit works even better than using them individually!"

Hermes continued painting.

This time, however, the painting depicts a hot pot, while the sun and stars coexist in the sky, and creatures such as dragons and phoenixes are flying and roaring, making the entire sky island a paradise on earth.

"Creating the world?"

"Godlike methods."

Everyone's mouths were slightly agape, their hearts churning with turmoil.

The shock and surprise this man gave them grew more and more outrageous with each passing moment, as if he were truly a god, and everything about him was fundamentally different from theirs.

"Sit down and eat! This is a very famous hot pot from my hometown."

Hermes gestured for everyone to sit down. Several hot pots on the long table were already boiling, and they were all the kind with two broths.

"Hot Pot?"

"Just boil it all in. This is only the second time I've eaten this since I started my second life."

Hermes was enjoying the tripe hotpot; it was the same familiar taste and recipe.

Eating hot pot was a luxury for him in his past life, I mean eating it at a hot pot restaurant.

no way.

poverty!!!

"The flow of time here is twice that outside. I will be in seclusion here for ten years, which is five years in the outside world. I need to sort out my thoughts. I have acquired a bit too much power."

"I will release the sky island in a moment and then redraw a harsh environment. You can cultivate here or go outside."

Hermes knew exactly what to do at each time period; his thinking was very clear.

Leaving aside the Big-Small Fruit, the Teleportation Fruit, the Life Return Fruit, and Haki, he would carefully study and research the Soul-Soul Fruit, the Pen-Pen Fruit, and the Book-Book Fruit on his own.

We aim to develop to its current maximum potential.

Because Van Gufried and Night became Homies, it can be said that the Pen-Pen Fruit and Book-Book Fruit are also his abilities, as are the Elephant-Elephant Fruit and the artificial Dragon Fruit.

This is also exploiting a bug; Van Gufried and Night have become mere intermediaries, stepping stones, and tools.

And it has so many capabilities.

It can be said that he is overwhelmed with work. Sometimes having many abilities is not necessarily a good thing or a bad thing. Fortunately, he has a lot of time. As long as he has enough time, he can slowly accumulate these abilities. He will use time to accumulate them.

If ten years isn't enough, then it'll be twenty years, a hundred years, a thousand years...

"Boss, I want to know if the research on pure gold has been completed yet."

Burgess first looked at Hermes, then at Vegapunk, Caesar, Queen, and Judge, who were enjoying their meal. Years ago, Hermes had given Caesar and the others a piece of pure gold that he had obtained from Olga for their study.

After all these years, we should have some clues by now!

"I almost forgot, if I succeed in developing pure gold, I'd like to cultivate in outer space."

"There are many other planets beyond the eight planets, which can all be explored."

If Burgess hadn't mentioned it, everyone would have almost forgotten.

You should know that pure gold is something that concerns all of them.

"Whoosh~"

"There has been progress, but manufacturing it is very difficult. Our institute has too many projects, including developing beam engines, space jump technologies, and conducting research..."

Caesar shrugged, indicating his regret.

Even after Vegapunk joined, the situation remained the same; no one knew how the scientist had created that thing, and they simply didn't have many clues.

"You are indeed under a lot of pressure."

"There's no need to rush this. We can wait until we destroy the World Government in five years and then search for it slowly. If that doesn't work, we can ask the Ancient Weapon Poseidon to help us search."

Hermes was not in a hurry about this.

He actually had a way to find the lanternfish a long time ago, which was by using his friend Shirahoshi. If nothing unexpected happens, Shirahoshi should have already awakened.

Lanternfish also belong to the sea kings, and there are connections between sea kings, so we can follow the clues. Moreover, lanternfish probably live in the waters around El Caméme Island.

"Aquaman? Boss, do you know where Aquaman is?"

Borsalino's mouth was slightly open; as someone who joined later, there were many things he didn't yet know.

"Aquaman is the mermaid princess, what's the big deal?"

Mansherry rolled her eyes.

"The Little Mermaid? Does that mean a living being?"

"That legendary mermaid princess, Shirahoshi, who's said to be even more beautiful than Boa Hancock, the world's most beautiful woman?"

"Otherwise what? Also, to correct you, Boa Hancock is the BOSS's slave, and I don't think she's that pretty."

"How is that possible? Ancient weapons can be living things."

"Nothing is impossible. Logically speaking, with our strength, we could be considered ancient weapons."

"Makes sense."

"Hahaha~"

"You're free to do as you please! Go ahead and eat the third Devil Fruit if you want, but it's best to develop the first two Devil Fruits to their full potential first, and only choose to eat the third one when there's no more room for improvement. Otherwise, you'll be overwhelmed."

“Boss, we know that, so we don’t plan to eat a third Devil Fruit for the time being.”

Cheers!

"Dry!!!"

Chapter 509 [Old Boy, what can the World Government use to fight him?]

Time passes.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Monarchy has not appeared on the high seas for eight years. Even if it has, it is only some rumors, some of which may be true and some of which are fabricated. After all, the Monarchy has become a taboo force.

Of course.

It's impossible for the Monarchy organization to completely disappear; occasionally, some members will go there for a treat.

Only Hermes truly did not appear in the outside world for eight years, or even strictly speaking, thirteen years, because the time flow rate between the book world and the outside world is 1:2.

Most people would definitely not be able to bear this kind of loneliness.

But Hermes could.
