The most courageous pirate hunter

"Besides, who worked tirelessly day and night, who sweated and bled? And you say I'm heartless? Then next time you can go and risk your lives yourselves!"

In short, whoever puts in the most effort will receive the most.

However, as the legal representative and head of the organization, receiving a share of the profits isn't unreasonable!

Hermes didn't bother arguing with the two; it was obvious they were unsophisticated.

"Let's give it our all."

Mansherry didn't want to pay any attention to Hermes; he was like a maggot with a black heart.

Next time there's business, she'll definitely be the first one to step up.

The three of them, bickering and arguing, gradually disappeared into the suburbs.

Meanwhile, the crane in Marineford also received a call from Gumir.

"Really? You refused!"

The crane's performance was slightly unexpected, but it was also within expectations.

"However, they asked me for a nautical chart to Wano Country, so I guess I'll be heading there."

Gumir was smoking a cigar in his office, with a stack of pele on his desk.

"Wano Country? That's Kaido's territory."

"So this guy's got his eye on the Beasts Pirates?"

The crane seemed a bit unsure.

"Whether it is true or not, let them make a fuss! It won't do us any harm."

Gumir smiled.

"That's true, but it's still better to keep an eye on it!"

"I see."

The Den Den Mushi hung up, and Tsuru frowned and pondered for a moment.

The next day.

As the sun hung high in the sky, a large number of newsbirds carrying the latest news flew out to sea, and the events reported on them caused quite a stir.

"Hey Hey hey!"

"Really? Charlotte Smoothie, one of the Sweet Commanders under Big Mom, with a bounty of 760 million, was captured by Hermes Jormungandr, the King of Hunters, and then exchanged for her bounty with the Navy?"

"What a joke, that's a powerful assistant to one of the Four Emperors."

"Who is this King of Hunters?"

"Didn't you follow the news from a while ago? The King of Hunters is a pirate hunter whose real name is Hermes Jormungandr. He once fought to a draw with Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, in Dressrosa."

The title of "King of Hunters" was personally certified by the Navy.

"I never expected such a powerful figure to emerge on the high seas, especially since he's a pirate hunter."

"They're incredibly audacious, daring to provoke even the Four Emperors."

"Hmph, what a load of bull, King of Hunters. I'd better not run into him."

Powerful figures and influential individuals around the world reacted with a range of emotions upon seeing this news: some were amazed, some admired, and some were dismissive.

A wise person can sense that a storm is brewing, and the source is this fuse.

However, upon closer examination, the worst-case scenario may not occur.

"Fufufu~"

Dressrosa.

Doflamingo's forehead veins bulged as he stared at the newspaper in his hand, his fingers clenched tightly, turning white. Thanks to Hermes, Don Quixote's business was now facing a major challenge.

One wrong move and you could even go bankrupt.

However, they recently made contact with the Four Emperors' Beast Pirates, which will not only change their current predicament but also allow them to rise to a higher level.

However, making connections with the Beasts Pirates is undoubtedly like seeking a tiger's skin—too dangerous.

Kaido's club is not easy to bear, but there is no other way at the moment.

Simultaneously.

World of Tottoland.

In the back garden of the castle on Whole Cake Island, the core island of the Four Emperors' Big Mom Pirates, Charlotte Linlin, with long pink curly hair, thick lipstick and light purple eyeshadow, wearing a pirate hat and a pink wide dress, is using her powers to create a new batch of flower Homies.

She seemed to be in a good mood.

Whether by coincidence or not, a bird landed on a tree trunk, which caught Big Mom's attention.

"Mmmmmm~"

His unique laughter was deafening.

"Prometheus, go buy me a newspaper."

"Okay, Mom!"

Prometheus, who had been dozing off to the side, quickly flew to the Newsbird, said something, and soon took out a newspaper and flew to Big Mom.

The newsbird flew away too.

"Let me see what's been happening lately."

Big Mom unfolded the newspaper, her initial curious expression gradually freezing. Her large, light purple eyes slowly enlarged and bulged, and a chilling murderous intent filled her large, fat face.

Kaka.

The once clear blue sky began to be shrouded in dark clouds, and streaks of pale lightning struck down, plunging the entire castle into an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

"Mother."

Napoleon and Prometheus on their heads were both swallowing hard.

Some of the Homies around were even lying on the ground, trembling and covering their heads.

"Mmmmmm~"

"Bring Katakuri and the others to me."

Big Mom's anger intensified. Katakuri had come to take Zeus away some time ago without telling her why, which meant that Big Mom was unaware of Smoothie's situation.

"Yes."

About thirty minutes later.

All the Charlotte family members on Whole Cake Island gathered in the castle, swallowing hard and looking worried. None of them dared to look up at Big Mom, who was feasting.

Until Snag, also one of the Four Sweet Commanders, and the arrival of his eldest son Perospero, eldest daughter Compote, and other key members.

"Mom, what happened!"

As the eldest son, Perospero could only grit his teeth and push forward, because all his brothers and sisters were winking at him.

Anyone could see that Mom was on the verge of exploding with rage. If someone of little importance went to question her, they might have their lifespan drained and die on the spot.

"Where's Katakuri?!"

Big Mom scanned the room and found that Katakuri, Cracker, Oven, Daifuku, and Armand were all absent, causing her killing intent to surge.

"this...."

Perospero and the others hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back; they knew what Katakuri and the others had gone to do.

It's fair to say that they all knew about Smoothie's capture. Apart from Big Mom, they were afraid of Big Mom finding out, because even if Smoothie was rescued, she would still be severely punished.

At best, they'll be locked in a dark room and stripped of their general's title; at worst, their lifespan will be shortened.

"Mom, Katakuri and Cracker went to rescue Smoothie."

As the eldest daughter, Compote glanced at the news in front of Big Mom and knew that she could no longer hide it.

"Mmmmmm~"

When was Smoothie arrested?

Big Mom had a gloomy face, but she didn't blame Katakuri for keeping it from her. After all, if she had to make all the decisions, what would be the point of having these children?

"That was when Katakuri left Whole Cake Island."

"Find me this King of Hunters. I want him to appear in my collection room within three months."

"yes.."

Chapter 80 [Operation Katakuri, Aokiji's Support]

"Boss, news of our capture of Smoothie has made the news."

Cloudless.

The Death was sailing on the sea.
