The most courageous pirate hunter

Why do I have such a bad feeling?

According to the protagonist's law, his own tendency to attract trouble must have come into play. I'm guessing that it's probably because that little foodie Mansherry has been targeted.

Also.

In terms of its breed and appearance, Mansherry is absolutely perfect.

Only after getting to know him up close can you realize how flawed his true personality is.

He's useless at everything, but he's the biggest chatterbox when it comes to eating.

"Business is on the horizon, time to get to work and make a profit!"

Hermes twisted his neck, and his Observation Haki rapidly radiated in all directions before disappearing from the spot.

the other side.

On the slightly chaotic street, Mansherry lay on a broken stall with her mouth full of blood, her breath weak and her eyes filled with tears. She should have abandoned the supplies and run away.

"Hahaha~"

"You almost escaped."

Bages was truly astonished. This little man looked tiny and frail, but he was incredibly powerful in battle.

The most important are still Devil Fruit users.

It's the kind of treatment.

I just wanted to earn some pocket money, but I never expected to make a fortune.

With its variety, power, and ability, it's worth at least 50 million Berries. It might fetch even more at an auction, considering how rare healing Devil Fruits are.

If you go to an auction, the minimum starting price is 100 million.

What an unexpected surprise!

"If you dare to bully me, Hermes will definitely kill you."

Although Mansherry's eyes were filled with tears, she was not afraid; she was only in pain.

It also made her realize the cruelty of society once again. Just because she was a little person, she was arrested on the street. There was no law or sense of security at all.

Hermes was right after all; this world is a cannibalistic place, and the only way to achieve safety and freedom is to become strong.

this moment.

She realized.

"Hermes? Never heard of him."

Bages thought for a moment, feeling like he'd heard that name somewhere before, but quickly dismissed it. The little people in front of him were the most important, worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

"Don't come here."

Mansherry kept retreating. Her body was too badly injured, and she had to use her ability to heal herself repeatedly. She had almost lost the power to resist, which reminded her of the days when she was captured by the Donquixote Family.

dark.

helpless.

despair.

It had already created a psychological trauma.

"Hermes, you bastard, where are you? I promise I'll train properly from now on."

regret.

Scared.

Mansherry couldn't hold back her tears and burst into sobs. At that moment, all she wanted was for that man to appear quickly.

She wasn't as strong as I thought.

“Hahaha, no one can save you, I am the fighting champion Gizas Bages.”

Bages struck a champion's pose, his smile arrogant and swaggering.

He has participated in no fewer than a hundred fighting competitions since his debut, and has never been defeated. The championship belt around his waist is the best proof of that.

He hasn't gone to sea to become a pirate yet; he's very passionate about fighting.

However, competitions are not frequent, which leads to financial difficulties, and he can only occasionally go out to earn some extra money.

By sheer coincidence, I ran into Mansherry.

"You've got guts, even more arrogant than me."

Burgess's laughter stopped abruptly.

He saw clearly.

A figure suddenly appeared next to the dwarf, and he couldn't even see its movement.

"Hermes."

When Hermes appeared, Mansherry cried even louder.

All the grievances welled up at once.

Do I need to emphasize how treacherous the world is?

Seeing Mansherry's bruised and swollen face and pitiful state, Hermes showed no intention of comforting her, and even seemed to be kicking her while she was down.

"kindness."

Mansherry sniffled and dared not talk back anymore.

"Hahaha~"

"Who are you!"

Seeing that Hermes completely ignored him, Burgess smiled, but his face was full of cruelty and danger. Perhaps this skinny man could be sold for tens of thousands of Berries.

“My men are so powerful that even Jesus would have to call them ‘big brother,’ let alone lay a hand on them. So you’ve got guts, Gizzas Bages!”

Hermes was actually quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, I met the future number one captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, the so-called fighting champion Gizas Burgess, who is Blackbeard's most trusted number one henchman.

But~

"puff!!!"

Unleashing unparalleled power, Hermes was beside Mansherry one second, but the next second he appeared in front of Bages, his body steaming with high-temperature steam as he kicked Bages straight in the abdomen.

A suffocating pain swept through his entire body. Bages curled up like a shrimp, his eyes bulging, blood gushing from his mouth, his face covered in bulging veins. Without the slightest pause, he transformed into a streak of light, rampaging through three streets, crashing into houses before being buried under dust and debris and disappearing from sight.

Hermes leaped into the air and kicked out, his thirty-meter-long kick swooping down, easily tearing through the ground and sweeping away the dust, revealing the scene at its very center.

"Run."

"What kind of monster is this?"

Some of the pirates and civilians who were originally just watching were dumbfounded.

The fighting champion is quite famous on Crab Island, after all, he participated in an underground boxing match just a month ago, and the final winner was none other than Bages.

But to my surprise, I was easily knocked away.

Most importantly, this person is terrifying. Just look at the broken street and the relentless slashing; you can tell at a glance that he is an extremely strong person.

Bages probably mentioned steel plates!

"Cough cough cough~"

"who are you."

As he climbed out of the ruins, Bages looked back at the spot where the storm kick had disappeared, his face pale as he felt immense pressure. Was his opponent a swordsman?

But there were no weapons.

What was that swordsman-like slash?

"You've got guts."

Bages felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't know when the man's figure had faded away, but his voice appeared above him. Before he could even look up, a tremendous force pressed down on his head, and in that instant, the ground within a hundred meters radius cracked and rose up.

Dust formed plumes of smoke, constantly billowing in all directions.

call out! ! !

The sonic boom pierced through the dust, and the next moment Bages was sent flying, covered in blood and rolling on the ground, finally crashing into a wall and bleeding profusely.

Puff puff.

A wave of heat swept out, and Hermes slowly walked out, his body enveloped in increasingly dense high-temperature steam, with sparks occasionally flashing.

The temperature of the body surface can almost boil cold water in a short time.

He is practicing the return of life.

It does not hinder the battle.

"damn it."

"You've angered me."
