The most courageous pirate hunter

However, beginners learning finger gun can easily injure their fingers, and in severe cases, may suffer permanent disability. Therefore, practicing finger gun requires patience and cannot be rushed.

At this moment, Hermes memorized every word that Bastan said.

The initial excitement and joy had long since vanished, replaced only by seriousness and solemnity.

He's a professional at learning from others.

As Bastan said, each of the Six Styles of the Navy is not simple. When mastered to a high level, they become super-powerful abilities that can basically allow one to survive in this dog-eat-dog world.

If one were to master all six techniques, and even awaken the power of returning life, how incredibly powerful that would be.

This night.

Bastan not only explained the finger gun from beginning to end, but also personally demonstrated it several times.

A stone, you can poke a hole in it with your finger, it's like paper.

If that were to pierce flesh, it would surely bleed profusely.

"Concentrate all your strength in your fingers."

Three o'clock in the morning.

Hermes went to the outskirts and began practicing finger spear techniques by the moonlight.

After Bastan finished his instruction, the group practiced for a few more hours before it ended. Hermes couldn't sleep at his lodgings, so he came here to try out the Six Forms.

"First of all, you need to calm down and not be impatient or hasty."

Recalling every word Bastan said, Hermes' index finger began to tighten, and he poked at the air repeatedly.

However, it's difficult.

Because how to concentrate all the strength of the body in the hands is a huge problem.

Fingers are undoubtedly very fragile, so in the first stage, you can only try to get a feel for it by poking at the air.

There was no pleasure involved.

It's not moisturizing at all!

soon.

Three poles in the sun.

Hermes was not sleepy at all; on the contrary, he was highly energetic.

I could barely lift my hands anymore, and I also had lower back pain.

I don't even know if it's just my imagination, but my kidneys are cramping a bit, which is a big problem.

"I can't go on like this."

Hermes knew very well that it was time to give his body a rest.

Now that the finger gun has appeared, Plan B must be suspended; we can't go to Wangdu now.

the next day.

Hermes arrived at the training ground as usual, maintaining his five-millimeter frame as he followed the marines in basic physical training. During this time, he also took the opportunity to follow up with several ensigns, lieutenants, and Bastan.

Although they only get together once a month to verify each other's work, they also train alone most of the time.

This is a great learning opportunity.

And so their days and nights were turned upside down.

Time flies.

Unbeknownst to many, Hermes had already been stationed at the base for seven months.

Hermes spent those seven months very fulfilling, even feeling that there wasn't enough time. During the day, he would follow the marines on the parade ground for physical training, and occasionally follow a few lieutenants and second lieutenants to watch them train in private.

Hermes never missed a single one of the monthly intensive lectures.

For the first two months, Hermes kept poking at the air, which allowed him to concentrate all his strength.

For the next month, I went to the beach and poked at the sand, then at some animals, then at some trees, just kept poking and poking...

Not picky about food at all.

Very thirsty.

But if he had a choice, he would like to find someone to have sex with, not for any other reason than to experience the feeling of being wet.

But in any case, after a full six months, we've finally made some progress.

My fingers are no longer so fragile, they could even be described as deformed, especially when I poke them with a real object. The pain and torment are so intense that even my soul trembles.

I've already mastered the basics of finger guns.

He has now finally acquired a certain level of lethality.

A thin wooden board will surely be pierced with a single finger; in comparison, human internal organs are much more vulnerable.

Besides the initial success of the finger gun, the development of the mini-fruit has also made new progress. He has not forgotten about the development of the mini-fruit in the past six months.

In addition to the initial transformations of five millimeters and thirty centimeters, several more transformations have now been added, such as ten centimeters, fifty centimeters, and five meters.

That's right.

five meters.

Hermes had already developed the method of growing larger in the opposite direction.

We've been working tirelessly on research and development these past few days.

To be honest, it's a bit pathetic. It took a whole six months to make this much progress. If it were any other transmigrator, they would have already been beating up generals and kicking Yonko from the very beginning.

Awakening a Devil Fruit within three months is the most basic thing.

Dog day.

Every night when all was quiet, Hermes would question his existence. Why didn't he have any cheat codes? Other transmigrators all had them, so why didn't he? Was this discrimination?

Grandma has legs.

However, the biggest gain was Hermes' physical abilities, including strength, speed, jumping ability, and appetite. He can now easily defeat a hundred of his counterparts from six months ago.

Those firm, taut muscles and six-pack abs are the best proof.

Chapter 7 [Life and death are preordained, wealth and honor are determined by fate]

Maiut Town.

Located on the eastern coastline of the Kingdom of Prodens, about two to three days' journey from the naval branch, it is a chaotic town with a permanent population of around 300,000.

Many pirate crews land in the Kingdom of Prodens here.

Therefore, the public security situation is very poor.

Fights and brawls can break out on the streets at any time.

There are numerous cases of clandestine human trafficking, robbery, and drug abuse, especially in the last two years due to the internal strife within the Kingdom of Prodens, which has led to a further loss of control in its various towns.

Although this town is dangerous, it also holds many opportunities.

Opening a tavern or hotel here can be profitable, as long as you have strong backing or have paid enough protection money.

After all, there are a lot of migrant workers every year.

Finger pistol basics.

Hermes was definitely going to come and put his skills to the test, and maybe earn some hard-earned money. He had been poor before and needed to be careful with his money, and the town of Meyut was undoubtedly in line with his goals.

This place is teeming with snakes and rats; you could step on one even with your eyes closed.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Fill it up."

"Boss, another shot of rum, please."

"Where's the pizza I ordered?"

"Where's my wine? Believe me or not, I'll tear your tavern down."

Walking on the bustling streets, you can see people everywhere with long knives or pistols at their waists. Some are pirates, some are bandits, and there are various shops or street stalls on both sides of the street.

Hermes was dressed simply in a white shirt and black trousers, wearing flip-flops and with slightly messy hair. He found the nearest tavern.

Upon entering the tavern, Hermes was nearly stopped in his tracks by the overwhelming smell of alcohol and unpleasant odors of sweat, while the various curses and noises buzzed around him like flies.

Environment is poor.

No one was paying attention to Hermes, because the waiters were busy running around, and people were yelling and threatening to kill him or burn the tavern down.

He was vulgar and slovenly, lacking any of the manners and refinement a man should have.

Hermes' appearance was only glanced at by a few people, who, upon discovering he was just a little devil, turned back to eating, drinking, or having a drinking contest.

Good luck.

There is also an empty table.
