The most courageous pirate hunter

Lieutenant General Gumir personally received Hermes and his two companions.

"Hermes Jormungandr, the Navy is officially inviting you to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Are you interested?"

in the office.

Gumir observed Hermes and his companions from head to toe, and then extended an invitation.

He can print out the document immediately if the other party agrees.

"Hahaha!"

Burgess was somewhat excited. He hadn't expected the Navy to invite Hermes to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Initially, this position might not have been desirable, but now it was highly sought after by many pirates.

"I am not interested."

Hermes refused without even thinking.

In his eyes, as long as there is money, everyone is his prey, whether it is an ordinary pirate, a Shichibukai, or even a Yonko or a Marine Admiral.

Everyone is treated equally.

As long as he is strong enough, why should he be afraid of not becoming famous?

"Oh!"

Gumir's smile froze slightly; this was not the answer he had expected. Hermes' rejection was far too decisive.

"Hahaha..."

"You may not know about the Seven Warlords of the Sea organization. Once you become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

Gumir first smiled to cover up his embarrassment, and then planned to introduce the power and benefits brought by the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hermes.

“Vice Admiral, Charlotte Smoothie has been handed over to you. Shouldn’t I receive the bounty as well? I’m not interested in the Seven Warlords of the Sea right now.”

Of course.

"If the Navy ever doesn't need the Seven Warlords of the Sea, or if it's difficult to resort to underhanded tactics, they can come to me. As long as the price is right, I'm more than willing to cooperate with the Navy."

Hermes, not wanting to listen to Gumir's rambling, began to promote himself instead.

"Don't worry, I'm a professional pirate hunter. As long as the price is right, I can even get you the head of a Yonko. But it will take some time, about ten years."

As a professional, I won't let you wait in vain for ten years. During that time, I can take down other capable assistants under the Four Emperors.

Even if it's a loss-making deal, it's definitely worth the money.

This is my business card. ”

Hermes, with a serious expression and no hint of joking, pulled out a large handful of paper business cards from his pocket, took one out, and handed it to Gumir.

He designed it himself, working overtime.

Gumir was taken aback. Should he call this man arrogant, or simply ignorant and reckless?

However, I still subconsciously took the business card and looked at it.

Monarch Organization Ltd., or Monarch Organization for short.

The person in charge and legal representative: Hermes Jörmungandr.

Telephone: XXXXX

Our company has a wide range of businesses, and we adhere to the development philosophy of integrity, professionalism, efficiency, honesty, and harmonious coexistence, striving to contribute to the world.

Feel free to call!

The specifics of what it does are not clearly stated because Hermes intends to take a high-end approach and does not need much publicity; those who understand will naturally understand in due time.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, a knock on the door brought Gumir back to his senses, and he took a deep drag on his cigar.

He didn't know what to say.

The person in front of me seems to have some mental issues.

"Come in."

"Lieutenant General, this is 760 million."

Two major generals walked in, carrying eight leather suitcases containing 760 million dollars, the bounty on Smoothie's head, not a penny more or less.

"Give it to this King of Hunters!"

Would you like some?

Gumir gestured for the two major generals to put them on the ground, then looked at Hermes.

"Need not."

Hermes' lips curled up. Back when he first started out, there were not only middlemen involved, but the navy would also take a cut. Now, not a single penny was missing.

That's what comes from being strong enough.

Even a lieutenant general wouldn't dare to skimp on the weight.

After Hermes finished speaking, he bent down and used his ability to shrink the eight suitcases to the size of a fingernail. He tossed them in his palm, a move that made Gumir's eyes narrow slightly.

He had done his research before receiving the guest.

If I'm not mistaken, it's probably the other party's Devil Fruit ability to make things bigger or smaller. Given the Navy's powerful intelligence capabilities, this isn't too much of a secret.

"It was a very pleasant collaboration, and we will meet again in the future."

The cash transaction went smoothly, and the goods were delivered on the spot.

Hermes prepared to leave.

"Are you really not going to reconsider becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

Gumir still wants to give it another try.

"No."

"However, I would like to ask if Vice Admiral has a nautical chart for the journey to Wano Country?"

Even after being rejected again, Gumir did not get angry.

After all, Hermes wasn't the only candidate; there were plenty of people all over the world who wanted to become Shichibukai, so it wasn't a matter of Hermes being the only one.

"You're heading to Wano Country?"

What truly surprised Gumir was Wano Country; if he remembered correctly, it seemed to be ruled by the Beasts Pirates.

Think about it.

Gumir opened a drawer and took out a nautical chart. If this guy wanted to cause trouble for the Beasts Pirates, it wouldn't do the Navy any harm.

Moreover, a nautical chart is readily available to many high-end powers.

“In business, Hermes values ​​integrity. I won’t take your nautical chart for nothing. Here are 100,000 Berries.”

Hermes, who resembled a refined scoundrel, pulled a shrunken Beli from his pocket, restored it to normal size, and placed it on Gumir's desk.

Gumir didn't refuse; his cigars and alcohol for the next two days were now guaranteed.

"Pay wages! Pay wages!"

As soon as they left the naval fortress, Mansherry, who was on his shoulder, was drooling as she looked at the eight leather suitcases in Hermes' hands. Seven hundred and sixty million, they probably couldn't count them all in a day!

She's going to be rich.

Even Burgess was somewhat excited.

The main problem is that he's currently very poor; the ship doesn't provide food or lodging, and Hermes is the stingiest captain he's ever met.

"Although we started the business together, even close brothers should keep clear accounts. We should rely on our own efforts in everything, so we divide the profits according to our labor."

I contributed the most, so it's not unreasonable for me to take 700 million!

"Burgess, as the helmsman, did his part once again. Mansherry, although you're a weakling, you did contribute a little as the ship's doctor, so you two can split the sixty million!"

Hermes was very magnanimous.

Giving Bagges a box containing 60 million Berries made Mansherry and the other woman's eyes widen in surprise.

That's way too dark.

Of the 760 million, they only received 60 million?

Despite Hermes's statement that they didn't contribute much, they still put in the effort, so dividing the spoils this way is clearly unreasonable.

"Boss, you're being way too stingy."

"Hermes, you beast, your heart is filthy."

Bages was very tactful, but Mansherry just started cursing. She was already desperate for money, and now she was only given 30 million. Although it was still a huge sum, it was just a drop in the ocean compared to 700 million.

"Call me BOSS or Boss!"

"Nothing big or small."
