The most courageous pirate hunter

Even their Observation Haki wouldn't have time to react.

"Paper painting: the ultimate freedom and expression".

With his brain and body disconnected, Hermes entered a state of ethereal clarity. His body automatically anticipated the attack, gracefully leaning back to narrowly dodge Doflamingo's strike.

Seeing Hermes dodge, Doflamingo frowned, and his right hand, shaped like a beast's claw and covered in threads, slammed down.

At the last second, Hermes dodged to the side again.

shhhhhh! ! !

Doflamingo's expression grew increasingly grim as he attacked. His opponent managed to dodge every single one of his subsequent attacks, which felt extremely strange to him.

The relentless barrage of attacks continued.

at last.

Hermes couldn't take it anymore and exited the Paper Drawing: Ultimate Freedom state.

This move puts too much strain on the body and is simply unsustainable.

Taking advantage of a gap, Hermes created some distance, his body covered in sweat and panting heavily.

My forehead was covered in cold sweat.

It's important to know that Conqueror's Haki is still affecting him all the time, and whether he admits it or not, he is currently no match for Doflamingo.

Although he still has trump cards up his sleeve, Doflamingo does too.

Chapter 52 [It has to be said that Xiao Ming is a genius]

"Fufufu".

on the ground.

Doflamingo also noticed Hermes's condition. He wasn't exaggerating; within the range of his Conqueror's Haki, not many people could withstand it for long.

Even if there were, Hermes is clearly not among them.

This is Doflamingo's confidence; he was born to be king, a man destined to become the Pirate King.

"Lower the rogue line."

He spread his hands out, and threads spread out from each of his ten fingers. As the Armament Haki covered them, they flashed with a sharp light and were flung towards Hermes from a distance, one after the other.

The sound of it cutting through the air was fierce, and all obstacles in its path were easily cut in half like tofu, demonstrating just how terrifying its cutting ability was.

It has to be said that Doflamingo was a genius. He managed to develop the String-String Fruit, which was like a sewing machine, into a top-tier fruit. If he hadn't had a bit of bad luck at the end, his achievements would have been hard to predict.

"Mini 10-meter Crescent Moon"

Hermes' expression turned solemn as he unleashed two consecutive kicks, each ten meters long and crescent-shaped, covered in Armament Haki, as if the slashes were aimed at Doflamingo's attack.

Cluck cluck cluck clang clang!!

Sparks were flying.

The two attacks, the silk threads and the storm kicks, remained locked in a stalemate, with gusts of wind swirling around them.

Doflamingo was genuinely surprised. The opponent's Six Powers seemed different from what he had seen before. For example, the paper drawing had an indescribable and strange feel to it.

This is especially true for the current Arashi foot style.

A single strike can reach a height of ten meters; the impact is terrifying just to look at.

It not only possesses extremely sharpness, but also immense power.

The two men stared at each other from above and below, and the next moment they appeared in mid-air. A fist and a finger spear collided, and Hermes gritted his teeth in pain and was sent flying backward.

Doflamingo merely swayed his body before charging forward and kicking out, his five threads lashing out in an attempt to slice Hermes in two.

"Iron Block - Indestructible Body".

Hermes did not use his Mini-Mini Fruit, but instead chose to withstand the attack with his iron body. To be on the safe side, he covered it with Armament Haki. His purpose in coming here was not to kill Doflamingo, but to hone himself.

Besides determining whether he had the potential for Conqueror's Haki, one of his main goals was to awaken the Life Return after mastering all six styles.

Clang! ! !

A burst of sparks and blood splattered onto Hermes, causing him to groan again.

Oh shit.

It's a bit sloppy.

Hermes looked down at the wounds on his body, the flesh torn open, almost reaching the bone.

That hurts like hell.

I almost couldn't hold back and blurted it out.

"Iron blocks can't defend against my attacks."

Doflamingo appeared in the sky above Hermes in a flash, stomped down and mocked, saying that the person in front of him was too young and arrogant.

A loud, muffled groan was heard.

Hermes crossed his arms in front of him to block the attack, then transformed into a streak of light and crashed to the ground. The surrounding earth cracked and splintered, instantly forming a ten-meter-wide crater.

Doflamingo kicked out from a distance, and five threads swept past with a gust of wind, causing the dust to dissipate and revealing the scenery at the very center.

kindness?

There was no sign of the other party in the pit.

The technique of making smoke disappear.

Suddenly, a blur appeared, and Hermes appeared out of nowhere, aiming a finger gun straight at Doflamingo's neck. However, Doflamingo reacted quickly, and his Observation Haki was not to be underestimated.

He ducked immediately to avoid the blow, and at the same time kicked out. Hermes, expressionless, delivered a knee strike, and with the powerful collision, the two were separated.

Hermes spat out the blood from his mouth, took a deep breath, and then beckoned to Doflamingo, causing two veins to bulge on Doflamingo's forehead.

A wave of Conqueror's Haki filled the air, and he felt a surge of murderous intent.

"Warm-up is over. I hope you can keep it up."

As soon as the words fell.

Doflamingo disappeared, and at the same time, Hermes also disappeared.

The two figures blurred into afterimages as they darted through the streets and alleys, causing explosions wherever they went. The surrounding houses could not withstand the onslaught and collapsed one after another.

puff! ! !

Blood spurted from Hermes' mouth, turning into a streak of light that swept through the street. He collapsed in the ruins, and before he could even catch his breath, Doflamingo appeared and stomped on him.

He rolled awkwardly on the ground, then pushed himself up with his hands and one foot.

Doflamingo remained calm, pressing his hands down to block the attack, and then soared into the sky. Hermes followed closely behind with a burst of energy beneath his feet, appearing in front of Doflamingo before unleashing a sweeping kick, accompanied by a massive storm kick.

This time it's thirty meters.

Doflamingo's expression turned slightly serious. He pulled apart five colored threads that appeared in the middle of his hands, firmly blocking the way in front of him.

Compared to that thirty-meter-long Tempest Kick slash, Doflamingo was as insignificant as an ant, being pushed backwards all the way.

"Gatling."

Hermes gave chase, making a pistol gesture with both hands, and then fired a large number of finger guns, all of which were densely packed and had strong penetrating power.

Boom boom boom! ! !

"Spider web wall".

"Armed".

Doflamingo's veins bulged as he deftly deflected the massive Tempest Kick, unleashing a dense spiderweb of threads from his right hand. Covered in Armament Haki, the web acted like a shield, powerfully blocking Hermes's intricate finger spears.

"Demons and Crescent Moon"

Hermes gathered his power and unleashed a series of kicks from a distance. Each Tempest Kick, enhanced by the Mini-Mini Fruit, transformed into a ten-meter slash, crashing down on Doflamingo in waves.

For a moment the earth shook.

Doflamingo's defenses were visibly crumbling.

However, he remained calm and lifted his right foot to stomp on the ground. The next moment, a scene of earth-shattering change appeared. Centered on Doflamingo, all the rubble on the ground began to turn into threads.

For a moment.

A world of lines was formed within a radius of 100 meters.

Hermes stood in mid-air, using Moonwalk, his expression more solemn than ever before. Was this the awakening of a Devil Fruit?

"Fufufu, Hermes Jormungandr, I'll remember you!"

"But that's all for now."

Doflamingo felt an unprecedented power; in this world of the storyline, he was the absolute ruler.

Wow! ! !

Thick lines rose from the ground, their tips covered in Armament Haki, and they all spun in unison, radiating a chilling killing intent.
