The most courageous pirate hunter

That was pure domineering power, the very essence of liquefaction.

However, Sasuke had already achieved his goal: to attract Hermes' attention for a moment.

"The power of heaven's hand."

Sasuke continued to activate the Rinnegan's ability, a technique that allows him to swap the things he sees with his own position at close range, which can be quite effective when used well in crucial moments.

Unexpectedly, Hermes did not move at all.

He was still standing there, but his expression was slightly surprised.

He sensed a force attempting to move him away, but this force was clearly insufficient. With purplish-white flames engulfing his entire body, Hermes was virtually immune to all magic.

Unless that force is more powerful than domineering aura.

Or perhaps the enemy is stronger than Hermes, just like the Big-Small Fruit, the Teleport Fruit, and the Soul-Soul Fruit. When facing someone weaker than Hermes, Hermes can bully them however he wants.

However, if facing an existence of the same level or even stronger than Hermes, many of his abilities would become ineffective.

obviously.

Even though Sasuke has unleashed his full power twice, he hasn't narrowed the gap with Hermes, let alone matched or surpassed him.

Fundamentally, the two are not on the same level. The gap between them is not just one chasm, but many chasms. Sasuke's power surge twice surpassed two chasms, but there are still chasms ahead.

The kind where you can't see the end.

Perhaps if Sasuke were given a thousand years, he could see the end of that chasm, but even if Sasuke and Hermes were on the same level, he still couldn't beat Hermes.

no way.

Hermes has too many tricks up his sleeve, both in his thinking and his fighting style. People in the pirate world know this all too well; they can't beat him, they simply can't.

Moreover, there is the Book of Creation.

Hermes will always have more time to cultivate than Sasuke, and as a transmigrator, Hermes seems to have no upper limit to his cultivation. Even if he encounters a bottleneck temporarily, he can break through it through many methods, such as enduring it little by little over time.

"It's no use?"

Sasuke gritted his teeth.

Seeing Hermes acting as if nothing had happened, neither Amaterasu nor Amaterasu worked, but he wouldn't give up anymore and continued to activate the Rinnegan's abilities regardless of the consequences.

"Earth-shattering Star."

A powerful force is approaching.

Hermes seemed to be the center of gravity, attracting everything on the surface of the earth. In response to this attack, Hermes had previously used teleportation to move all the rocks and soil away in one go.

This time it was even more decisive.

The purple-white aura around his body surged, and the power that had descended upon him was forcibly erased.

Gravity disappeared.

The rocks and soil that were flying in the air fell down one after another, the earth roared and a lot of dust was spread. At this moment, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a lot of lightning spread from Sasuke's right hand.

Lightning Release: Chidori.

All power, all belief, and all will were integrated into this move. The dust parted to form a passage, and Sasuke arrived in front of Hermes in the blink of an eye. A powerful current tore through space, producing a cacophony of bird calls.

Faced with this overwhelming blow.

Hermes simply extended his large, purple-white flame hand, accurately blocking Sasuke's attacks no matter how fast they were, and even creating a vacuum in the center.

Zizzi~

Endless electric currents filled the air, forming a sea of ​​thunder that surrounded the two of them.

Sasuke roared.

But his strength was simply insufficient to advance any further.

"That's not how you use lightning; it's too petty."

"I want to see you continue to unleash your full potential."

With a slight push from Hermes, all the lightning was forcibly extinguished. Sasuke's entire right arm turned into a bloody mist, and he spat out blood that transformed into a stream of light, piercing through mountains before finally lying on the rocky ground.

Hermes really wanted to obtain the protagonist's explosive power.

Perhaps this is the power of belief.

It belongs to the kind of ethereal, indescribable, and unattainable, but Hermes would definitely study it, since there is nothing in the world that cannot be studied.

Especially after absorbing the memories of Vegapunk, Queen, Judge, Caesar, and Miskina Asiye, he also perfectly absorbed their spirit of exploration and research.

Cultivate any ability.

Hermes discovered that combining different approaches to research would yield twice the results with half the effort.

"Lightning is the most domineering force in the world."

"I've missed my men quite a bit, having not seen them for a long time."

"Today I'll show you what a true master of thunder is all about."

Hermes produced a creation pen and began to draw in the air.

Far away, Mansherry, sitting on a tree trunk with Matt Kai, couldn't help but roll her eyes. On a whim, several apples appeared on the tree trunk. She picked one and took a big bite.

He knew who Hermes was going to paint.

"do you want to eat?"

While eating and flipping through the pages, Mansherry also asked Matt Kai a question.

Metcalfe felt terrible and desperate at this moment. This servant of the creator god could not only create forests at will, but also fundamentally change the structure of plants.

The tree that hangs there doesn't seem to have anything to do with fruit trees at all, so how does it produce apples? And how do they ripen in an instant?

It's too ridiculous.

"Divine Punishment and Calamity, God Enel!"

The last stroke fell.

Enel slowly opened his deep blue eyes, and after a moment of confusion, he came to his senses.

Whether it's Guyram, Mansherry, or Enel, once they're drawn, they're practically identical to the real people. Their Devil Fruit abilities and memories are exactly the same as when Hermes left the pirate planet.

If Hermes so desired, he could alter the memories and strengths of the three at will.

In a sense, the people Hermes drew were indistinguishable from real people. He could add missing memories, make them appear weaker, or enhance their strength by manipulating the Pen-Pen Fruit.

Chapter 523 [Orochimaru, Kabuto, the ninja world depends on you!]

"BOSS."

Enel was given many memories.

Now Hermes has reached another world, and Guyram and Mansherry have also been depicted in paintings.

"Long time no see."

Hermes sighed slightly.

A thousand years is enough time for Hermes to develop the teleportation fruit to a certain extent.

For example, teleportation to a fixed point.

The reason Hermes was so fearless in testing spaceships, and unafraid of encountering danger or losing contact with the pirate world, was because of the teleportation fruit's ability to teleport to a fixed point.

If Naruto and One Piece were in the same universe, Hermes could instantly teleport across countless light-years to One Piece, just like Goku's Instant Transmission in Dragon Ball.

Ignoring spatial distance.

Hermes tried it at the beginning.

Useless.

This suggests that the Naruto and One Piece worlds are no longer in the same dimensional universe, unless the Instant Transmission Fruit is developed to a deeper level.

Furthermore, teleportation is divided into living beings and locations. Living beings are those familiar people, anyone you've seen before. As for locations, that's easy to understand, such as places you've been before.

Therefore, fixed-point teleportation has no concept of spatial distance; it can teleport to any distance.

Before encountering the spacetime rift, Hermes had been making space jumps for over a decade using his spaceship, and the number of jumps was countless.

The distance, even if measured in light-years, is still billions of light-years.

However, if Hermes wanted to, he could instantly teleport to the pirate world, crossing billions of light-years in an instant. But after entering the time rift, he had already broken through the dimension and arrived in another universe.

There's also Hermes's imagined teleportation right after he ate the Teleportation Fruit. Regardless of whether that place actually exists in the world, as long as it does, Hermes could teleport there simply by imagining it.

However, none of these are impressive.

What's truly impressive is that Hermes has developed teleportation to the point where it can break through dimensions, meaning he could potentially teleport from the Naruto world to the One Piece world.

It's important to know that Hermes has no limit to the development of Devil Fruits.

Perhaps after hundreds or thousands of years, or even hundreds or thousands of years, it might actually be possible.

Furthermore, Hermes doesn't need to return to the pirate world. If he misses it, he can draw the pirate world in the Book of Genesis, or draw Enel and the others like he is now.
