The most courageous pirate hunter

Hermes shrunk to fifty centimeters in size, and two swords whistled past his head, nearly shaving off his scalp. He would probably end up with a bald patch by then.

He seized the opportunity to leap behind a pirate, and unleashed a lightning-fast strike with his right hand.

The latter simply couldn't react in time.

Hermes' kidney was instantly pierced, and as he bent his finger, some bits of flesh came out with it. His body shape returned to normal in an instant, and then he kicked the pirate in the stomach.

A huge black shadow flew past, and the pirate crashed through many seats and benches, lying in a pool of blood, clutching his back and struggling several times but unable to get up.

The battle here is not over yet.

The last remaining pirate seized the opportunity to attack Hermes. Without even turning his head, Hermes shrunk back to fifty centimeters in size and kicked the pirate in the shin, causing the pirate to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

This fall signifies Hermes' complete victory.

Once back to its normal size, Hermes slammed his finger spear into the pirate's temple, forcefully piercing his skull and shattering his brain. The pirate collapsed to the ground, twitched a few times, and then went still.

The whole team was wiped out.

Hermes stood beside the corpse, covered in blood, panting heavily and pale-faced, and silence fell around him.

"What just happened? That kid suddenly shrank!"

"I didn't expect this kid to be a power user."

"Devil Fruit user".

"The ability to shrink?"

Some people noticed Hermes's abilities, while others were unaware of them. After all, besides Devil Fruit abilities, there are many other strange and unusual abilities or races on the sea.

"He didn't die unjustly, after all, the other party was an ability user."

"This kid is cunning; he only used his ability at the very end."

"This is truly eye-opening. Is this the legendary Devil Fruit user?"

The whispers around him did not affect Hermes. After catching his breath, Hermes picked up a knife from the ground and began to behead people, except to remain vigilant.

His indifferent expression, skillful technique, and unwavering coldness plunged the previously whispering atmosphere into a deathly silence.

No matter how you look at it, the scene is somewhat bloody and terrifying.

Cruel person.

Absolutely ruthless.

Many pirates swallowed hard, their eyes filled with horror and fear.

To be so ruthless at such a young age is nothing short of murder.

Little did they know that Hermes' heart was already colder than a butcher's knife in the market.

"Does anyone know how much the bounty is on these people? The reward is one head."

Hermes looked around and saw that many pirates had already started drinking again.

Those who were shocked and frightened were mostly novice pirates from the village. Those who had been to sea before, had some experience, and had faced life and death would just laugh it off at most, without affecting the taste of the strong liquor in the slightest.

"Kid, these pirates are just small fry. The one you have is only worth 15 million, while the others are between 2 million and 8 million."

"Just a heads up, they're from the Dog Pirates. If you kill them, their captain, Joa, will definitely hunt you down. You're in big trouble."

Some pirates were eating the pizza that had been re-served, looking at Hermes with a mocking expression.

"How much is the bounty on their captain's head?"

Hermes remained unperturbed and casually tossed away a head worth eight million.

"Thirty-eight million, good luck."

The pirate stepped on the rolling head, seemingly unafraid of being bothered by the Dog Pirates. Even a small mosquito is still meat, and eight million Berries is no small amount.

Hermes shrugged indifferently, left two heads as compensation to the shopkeeper, and left with the rest of his spoils.

He needs to find a place to wash up.

By the way, I'll exchange the spoils for Pele.

This is easy to do.

Hermes had already found out before he arrived that there are middlemen in every world, and all he needed to do was find these shops to exchange his spoils for Berries.

However, these middlemen take a cut of the profits, 40 percent of each item.

expensive.

But it's also very convenient, as it eliminates the need to go to the Navy to exchange for it.

Not long after Hermes left, news of the Dog Pirates' deaths spread rapidly to the surrounding areas, as the Dog Pirates were one of the most powerful pirate crews in the entire town.

I never expected that one of my members would be killed.

This is downright provocative.

"What did you say?"

In a brothel on Sweetheart Street, an incredulous voice suddenly rang out, clearly revealing an increasingly barely suppressed rage.

Attended by two songstresses, a four-meter-tall man, soaking wet and covered in crisscrossing scars, stepped out of the bath, his sharp eyes staring straight at the pirate before him.

"Captain, our men have been killed."

"Who in the entire town of Myout dares to kill my men? Is it the Chainman or the Twin-Wheeler Cocos?"

In Joa's memory, apart from the Chain Pirates and the Twin Wheel Pirates who could rival the Dog Pirates, the other pirate crews or forces in the town were not worth mentioning.

Or is someone planning to start a war?

"Neither, it's a brat."

"What? A brat?"

Qiao Ya's voice rose slightly, and her eyes grew even colder.

"Get everyone together and find that brat for me."

soon.

The entire Dog Pirates crew mobilized and launched a large-scale manhunt for Hermes, immediately attracting the attention of many factions.

Many people want to know what happened.

After some investigation, Hermes began to gain fame.

Many people think Hermes is foolish, obviously from outside, or like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers, daring to provoke one of the strongest pirate crews in Mayuto Town.

They're definitely looking for trouble by turning on the light in the toilet.

the other side.

Hermes washed up at an inn and then found a clinic to have his wounds bandaged. They were all superficial injuries, nothing serious.

This real-life battle, in which one man fought against multiple opponents, greatly improved Hermes's skills.

Sure enough, only through fighting can one become stronger faster and make their wallet fuller, which is the life he likes.

Arriving at a street stall selling udon noodles, Hermes began to replenish his energy. Since coming to this world, his appetite has been increasing, especially after cultivation and battles, which is a very good sign.

Looking at the entire One Piece world, it seems that the strong are all just idiots.

One bowl, two bowls, three bowls, plus some large meat legs, Hermes went from wolfing down his food to eating slowly and deliberately.

Just as it was about to end, more than a dozen pirates surrounded them.

"Is it this kid?"

"It was him. I saw him carrying a severed head to collect the bounty."

"Sir, look at my... bang..."

Before the fawning servant could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out and he was turned into a corpse, without even a scream.

"Kid, is it you who killed our Dog Pirates?"

The pirate in the lead, wielding an axe, looked down at Hermes, while other pirates around him raised their muskets and aimed them at him.

Judging from this, he must be a capable assistant to Captain Joa of the Dog Pirates.

He exudes a murderous aura and is incredibly fierce.

Snapped! ! !

Instead of receiving a reply from Hermes, Traya was presented with a bowl of udon noodles filled with broth. Hermes remained steadfast in his principles, a man of few words and ruthless actions.

Just do it.

Despite his massive size, Tra was surprisingly quick, smashing the udon bowl to pieces with a single axe blow, while the surrounding pirates opened fire.

Hermes was very fast; the moment he threw the bowl, he rushed toward Traya and fired a finger spear as Traya shattered the bowl.

"Damn it."

A sharp pain shot through his side; the blow had knocked Tray off balance, and the axe nearly slipped from his grasp. Hermes, seizing the opportunity, aimed his left-hand pistol straight at Tray's throat.

A large chunk of flesh was torn off. Traya narrowly escaped the fatal blow, but Hermes reacted even faster. Before the attack hit, he bent his fingers and grabbed, almost severing Jorah's blood vessels.

Just as Hermes was preparing to press his advantage, several gunshots rang out, causing him to abandon his attack and, quite unceremoniously, roll onto the ground and tumble into a nearby restaurant, eliciting screams from onlookers.
