The most courageous pirate hunter

Doflamingo's face was fierce. How could he let Hermes leave? Besides, Hermes was in such a bad state, it was the perfect time for him to take revenge.

The two chased and fled, and soon left the King's Heights.

It didn't take long.

The two arrived at the town at the foot of the mountain. At a lighthouse, Mansherry was eating ice cream and waiting. She was now a little rich woman with a huge sum of 100,000 Berries in her hands.

She is not the same person she used to be.

"You good-for-nothing, time to get to work!"

Hermes' voice could be heard from afar.

As they got closer, they could see how disheveled he looked. But something was different: his demeanor. He didn't look seriously injured at all. Instead, he resembled a male animal in heat, with unusually bright and excited eyes.

Mansherry vanished from her spot and reappeared on Hermes' shoulder, gently pricking her finger and letting a drop of fragrant blood fall onto Hermes.

At that moment, Hermes turned into a green sun, a deep, ethereal green.

The severely injured and exhausted body was like a long-awaited rain; the wounds healed rapidly, and the breath recovered at a high speed. In just a few seconds, it was fully revived.

It's just that my physical strength isn't recovering very quickly, but it's only a matter of time.

"I'm leaving now."

After dripping the blood, Mansherry slipped away.

"go Go!"

Hermes had no time to pay attention to Mansherry. Instead, he used Moonwalk to carefully feel his body's condition in mid-air, easily finding the same feeling he had just experienced. He then entered the Life Return state and began to move every muscle.

“Mansherry”.

Doflamingo arrived quickly, and seeing the green light on Hermes' body and his rapidly recovering aura, his expression was extremely ugly.

Originally, this healing power was in his hands.

"This feeling is absolutely wonderful."

The green light surrounding his body began to dissipate, replaced by wisps of high-temperature steam. As his muscles began to move, the high-temperature steam increased.

And his body temperature kept rising.

Seeing Hermes in this state, Doflamingo's already gloomy face darkened even more.

Having dealt with that old hag Tsuru so many times, how could he not know that this was a further development of the Navy's Six Powers ability, Life Return? This bastard actually awakened Life Return during battle.

"That looks like the king."

"Who is the other one?"

In the town, many people looked up.

It looked like they were about to fight. Just now, booming explosions could be heard from King's Highlands from time to time. In fact, many residents were still unfamiliar with their new king.

But no matter what, it's definitely better than King Riku.

"Donquixote Doflamingo, that's one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and someone actually dares to cause him trouble?"

Among the crowd were some pirates, all of whom turned their gazes toward Hermes, who was shrouded in high-temperature steam, though many did not recognize him.

Compared to Doflamingo's reputation on the high seas, Hermes is far less famous.

"Fufufu~ What's your relationship with the Navy?"

Doflamingo suppressed his anger, his gaze fixed on Hermes, who exuded an eerie aura.

He basically knows all six styles, and also has the method of awakening life return. It's impossible that he has nothing to do with the Navy. Or is this guy sent by that old hag Tsuru?

This possibility is not impossible.

Although the old woman stopped pursuing him after he became a Shichibukai, he didn't believe she was that kind.

"I'm just a simple pirate hunter. I may have other side jobs in the future, but they have nothing to do with the Navy."

My blood is boiling, my muscles are working, and my strength is starting to concentrate.

Having longed for the awakening of life's return, it's natural to want to test out one's ultimate AOE attack.

Hopefully, Doflamingo can withstand my basic attack later.

"Fufufu~"

"never mind!"

"You don't think that awakening Life Return and recovering most of your injuries will make you a match for me, do you?!"

Doflamingo grinned maliciously, his Conqueror's Haki radiating outwards once more, his murderous intent making no attempt to conceal itself.

"Tough talk."

"What a man who refuses to admit defeat!"

Hermes sighed repeatedly and gestured provocatively.

call out! ! !

Veins throbbed on Doflamingo's forehead and neck. Threads appeared in his right hand and fell into the town. In the blink of an eye, the surroundings turned into threads, and numerous buildings twisted and swayed, forming spikes that were all aimed at Hermes.

A sharp, piercing sound tore through the air and ruptured eardrums.

The gaps are very small and densely packed.

"Run."

"What kind of ability is this? It even changed the house."

"very scary."

Large numbers of residents fled, their eyes filled with fear and shock.

Only a few pirates looked solemn, even though they didn't know why the streets and houses had turned into threads and why they were attacking the man who was emitting high-temperature steam.

"Indestructible".

"Ultimate freedom."

"Gatling."

"Crescent Moon".

Despite the attacks coming from all directions, Hermes continued to use the Six Powers, while warming up with Life Return to prepare his ultimate move.

Looking at it this way, Hermes only managed to retaliate occasionally, and was almost entirely dominated by Doflamingo throughout the match.

ten minutes.

Thirty minutes passed.

Doflamingo felt increasingly uneasy as the fight progressed. His left eyelid kept twitching, and he had a growing sense of foreboding.

My heart inexplicably started to race.

"what happened?"

This is the first time I've felt this way, and it's very uncomfortable.

Doflamingo continued to unleash his attacks, and watching Hermes leaping around, occasionally using the Six Powers and Devil Fruits to dodge and counterattack, the danger was clearly much lower than it had been at King's Heroes.

At least the fighting wasn't as fierce anymore.

However, despite having the upper hand, he was still unable to defeat his opponent.

and many more.

Doflamingo finally realized something was wrong: the high-temperature steam on Hermes' body. Thirty minutes ago, it was just a thin layer, but now it had enveloped the entire person and was burning bigger and bigger like a flame.

The temperature of the surrounding space continued to rise, and even the air became scorching.

Not right.

It's not right.

Doflamingo isn't stupid; on the contrary, he's very intelligent and calm, otherwise he wouldn't have done so well. He decisively stopped the attack.

All those densely packed silk threads stood up behind him, constantly intertwining to form more than thirty strands, their tips all aimed at Hermes, ready to unleash a powerful attack.

This battle should end.

"Why did it stop?"

Hermes stood in mid-air, surrounded by swirling high-temperature steam that occasionally sparked, causing visible ripples in the air, and his skin was flushed red.

Most importantly, a powerful force was gathered in his chest, as if the sun was constantly expanding.

"Fufufu".

"I've lost interest in playing this game with you."

"Die, 36 Holy Bombs - God's Slaughter."

An earth-shattering attack poured down, obscuring the clouds and destroying everything in its path.
