The most courageous pirate hunter

However, seeing Hermes's determination, he could only continue practicing boxing, jumping around and dodging left and right.

Hermes will not allow Mansherry to be healed until the very last moment.

Not far away, Mansherry was also cultivating. She had already mastered Shave and Moonwalk and was practicing the other six styles. There was no good way to cultivate her healing ability. The only way was to make her body stronger. As long as her body was strong, her healing ability would improve.

Therefore, the Six Styles and Life Return are things that Mansherry must learn.

Hermes was very strict about this. After being repeatedly beaten down by society, Mansherry proved herself and didn't complain as much as she did in the Dressrosa forest, where she had to be forced by Hermes to persevere.

"Whoo~"

After the cultivation is completely finished.

Hermes lay on the deck, covered in wounds, feeling an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. He could feel his Iron Body, Armament Haki, and Life Return being enhanced.

The feeling of becoming stronger is just too addictive.

Burgess was also panting heavily. It was only during the match that he could beat people up so satisfyingly; the feeling of each punch landing was particularly captivating.

"Tears of Healing".

Mansherry is very shrewd.

A few forced tears flew over and landed precisely on Hermes and Bages. Their tired and weak bodies felt as if they had been nourished, perfectly illustrating what it means to feel refreshed and invigorated, like a long-awaited dew.

"You two prepare dinner, I'm going to take a shower."

My strength and injuries are recovering rapidly. Taking a hot bath at this time would be like living in paradise.

After Hermes disappeared into the cabin, Bagges hesitated for a moment and looked at Mansherry, "Does he have some kind of peculiar fetish?"

"What do you mean?"

Mansherry blinked her big eyes.

"Do you think he might be a masochist?"

It's no wonder Bages had this thought, because cultivation is never done like this; it's just one-sided beatings, and the worst part is that Hermes was actually enjoying it while he was being beaten.

This is not the kind of reaction a normal person should have.

For some reason, Burgess always had a chilling, unsettling feeling.

The more he interacted with Hermes over the past three days, the more he felt that Hermes was a pervert, suffering from some kind of mental illness or intellectual disability.

Otherwise, why would she give him a Devil Fruit right away and teach him the Six Powers as well? She was practically giving him her heart and soul, wanting to share everything she had with him.

She was too good to him and trusted him too much.

The more he did this, the more uncertain he felt.

It made him lose confidence.

Panic.

"I think it's perfectly normal!"

Mansherry acted as if he was making a big fuss, not taking it seriously at all, and left to prepare the ingredients after answering.

This made Bages increasingly anxious as he stood there.

Something about this little race doesn't seem right.

Look around.

This ship is quite eerie.

Chapter 73 [It's a pity it's not Katakuri, that overpowered guy]

"Hermes, there's a pirate ship!"

Another day passed.

Around noon, under the blazing sun, Hermes and Bages were shirtless and fighting. Mansherry, on the watchtower, put down her telescope and shouted excitedly.

We haven't encountered any ships at sea for several days.

The sudden arrival of this ship meant it was time to get to work. Her purse was practically empty; she was still on credit for food, which made her feel inferior to Hermes.

Burgess was also somewhat excited.

Aside from being bored, the most important thing was that he was shocked when he learned that he would have to pay for his food. It turned out that working for Hermes didn't include food or lodging.

At first, Burgess thought Hermes was very generous, giving him Devil Fruits and the Six Powers of the Navy. So when Mansherry said behind his back that Hermes was stingy, he didn't believe her.

He was stunned when he had to pay for his meals yesterday.

"Hahaha~"

"Let me see."

Burgess rushed to the bow to look at the horizon. To his left, he saw a faint black dot, which then appeared at the rudder, nearly causing it to spin and smoke.

The Death Ship tilted itself immediately, the railings almost touching the seawater, which shows how extreme the turn was, and it wasn't afraid of sinking.

Hermes also appeared on the skull in a flash.

At the same time, two tears fell precisely on Hermes and Bages, and the injuries from their previous fight were rapidly healing.

"Sister Smoothie, we've spotted a strange ship that's speeding toward us."

On the horizon.

On a pirate ship with a beautiful face, a member of the Charlotte family was reporting to a long-legged woman drinking afternoon tea on the deck.

That's right.

This pirate ship is the vehicle of Charlotte Smoothie, the 14th female member of Big Mom's crew and one of the Sweet Commanders.

They set sail to deal with a pirate crew that had offended the Big Mom Pirates, and are currently returning to Whole Cake Island, where they happened to run into Hermes and his crew.

"A strange ship? Isn't it a pirate ship?"

Smoothie sipped her coffee leisurely, showing no intention of getting up.

"The other party was not flying a pirate flag, nor were they from the Navy."

Snamon, the twin sister, put down her binoculars and shook her head.

"Since we've run into them, let's plunder them."

Smoothie said this casually, yet with a very domineering air.

Now that their mother has become one of the Four Emperors, their Charlotte family has become the most powerful family in the world, and all its members are extremely arrogant and haughty.

They have an extremely high sense of superiority.

that's it.

Both sides approached each other quickly with the same goal in mind. When they were about fifty meters apart, Smoothie put down her coffee and came to the bow of the ship. Her tall figure instantly became twenty meters tall. She drew the long sword from her waist and swung it at the Death.

In an instant.

The sword energy, stretching over twenty meters, sliced ​​through the sea with unstoppable force.

"Hahaha~"

"Boss, I'll take over!"

Bages was in high spirits. As soon as he finished speaking, he appeared in front of the Death Ship, his fist covered in Armament Haki, his muscles bulging and veins spreading.

"Power Wave Fist".

The surging power formed a shockwave, vast and unmatched.

A massive explosion erupted, making the already turbulent sea even more turbulent.

Bages landed on the deck and couldn't help but take two steps back. He shook his fists, his face burning hot. The person who released that sword energy was a powerful expert.

"Charlotte Smoothie, I didn't expect to run into the Sweet Commanders here. What was their bounty again?"

Hermes twisted his neck and looked at the strange pirate ship fifty meters away, especially Smoothie, whose bow had grown twenty meters larger. He already recognized who it was.

"It's rude to come and not reciprocate."

"Crescent Moon".

In an instant, they were in mid-air.

Hermes kicked out, and the white arc instantly expanded to fifty meters, tearing the sky and sea apart as it charged towards Smoothie with even greater ferocity.

"Such a powerful slash."

"A great swordsman?"

Smoothie on the bow of the ship looked solemn, while the other crew members behind her gaped and turned pale. The fifty-meter-long slash was shocking just to look at.

They had only ever seen their mother swing such a slash when she held Napoleon.

"Everyone on high alert, the other side is not simple."

Smoothie gripped her longsword with both hands and unleashed two more 20-meter-long slashes, one after the other, striking the white crescent moon. In an instant, dazzling light shone, and the surrounding sea was cut into squares.

"It's a pity it's not Katakuri, that overpowered guy."
