The most courageous pirate hunter

Orochi's face darkened. Someone who could easily defeat Kyoshiro was no ordinary person. Could it be one of the remnants of the Kozuki family?

wrong.

There are still several years until the time predicted by Guangyue.

"General, the other party seems to have introduced himself as Hermes Jormungandr."

A bruised and battered warrior stepped forward; he had vaguely heard about it before.

Hermes Jormungandr?

"Have not heard."

Kurozumi Orochi pondered for a moment, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity.

"Fu Lu Shou, go investigate. You can ask the Beasts Pirates."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the Oniwabanshu disappeared.

Kurozumi Orochi looked at the ruins of the general's mansion, his face contorted with rage. "Quickly gather the common people and rebuild an even bigger general's mansion for me!"

the other side.

Hermes, holding Kyoshiro by the neck, left the Flower Capital and arrived at a forest. He casually threw the man on the ground, indicating to Mansherry to treat him. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be living in Wano Country for the next period of time.

He wasn't afraid that Kyoshiro would refuse, because he had plenty of ways to handle it.

A tear fell.

The powerful healing ability began to repair Kyoshiro's severely injured body, and he gradually opened his eyes, even though he had fainted halfway there.

However, the scene wasn't very pleasant.

You have three choices.

"First, teach me the Ryuo Haki, and I'll let you go after it's done."

"Secondly, I will use some bloody methods to force you to agree, or I will kill you directly and then go find other powerful people."

"Thirdly, you can state your terms, and we can make a peaceful deal."

Seeing that Kyoshiro had woken up, Hermes sat on a rock, speaking calmly and earnestly: it would be best if a deal could be reached, as this would avoid many unnecessary risks.

But if Kyoshiro refuses to listen to reason and has to suffer the consequences, then he wouldn't mind using some despicable means.

We must employ both soft and hard approaches.

"Cough cough!"

Kyoshiro coughed, sat up, and looked at Hermes in thought.

The outsider before them was exceptionally powerful. There were still several years until the appointed day, and he could not die before then.

Despite being very unhappy.

But there is no choice.

Currently, only the third option is most advantageous: he must live.

Chapter 84 [A Very Realistic Hermes]

"I choose the third one."

Kyoshiro didn't keep Hermes waiting long and quickly gave his answer.

"Very well, I, Hermes, may value money more than people, but integrity is my first principle. State your terms!"

Hermes was very satisfied with Kyoshiro's choice.

"Can you defeat Kaido of the Beasts?"

The scene was silent.

"These are your terms?"

Hermes frowned and pondered for a moment, then chuckled softly.

"Yes."

“If you do it this way, it’s pointless; the transaction is clearly unequal.”

Hermes spread his hands. Although he was very brave, he still knew his own limitations. With his current strength, he would be 99.9% sure to be defeated if he went up against Kaido of the Beasts.

They might not even be able to withstand one blow.

"Hahaha~"

"You're not the only option. Are you playing us for a fool?"

Burgess, who was standing to the side, was annoyed.

Moreover, Wano Country isn't the only country with Ryuo Haki. At worst, we can kill him and find someone else. Just like the boss said, the trade is never fair.

"Right now, my only condition is to kill Kaido of the Beasts. Since you can't do it, then let's keep the deal. I can teach you Ryuo."

Seeing that Hermes did not agree, Kyoshiro was about to switch to killing Kurozumi Orochi, but then he thought that he could kill Kurozumi Orochi himself when the time came.

Thinking about it this way, it might be better to keep this deal; we might need it in the future.

In addition, he still had some doubts about Hermes's credibility.

In truth, no matter what, he had no choice.

"I am still very weak now, but things will be different in a few years."

You won't regret today's trade.

"I, Hermes, keep my promises."

Hermes could have chosen to use coercion or even break his promise, but he still had to adhere to basic principles in order to grow stronger and achieve greater success.

It also helps to better command the respect of subordinates.

Didn't you see Bagges and Mansherry standing there?

If your public image collapses, it will be difficult to lead a team.

When Kyoshiro proposes new conditions in the future, he may already be at the pinnacle of power, and he can easily resolve the situation with a wave of his hand. Although he is a scoundrel, he still adheres to the most basic principles of being a human being until his life is threatened.

Kyoshiro looked serious. Hermes' words made him think that the other party might really be the kind of person who would keep his promises. He could openly admit his weakness and still make promises to the weak when he had an absolute advantage. A man with such courage and magnanimity was definitely not a despicable person.

Little did Kyoshiro know that he had misjudged the situation.

Before facing a life-threatening situation, Hermes is easy to talk to and his principles are absolutely guaranteed. But when he is about to die, he will cling to any straw that offers a way out.

What were the principles at that time?

Save your life first.

Therefore, for Hermes, life is the most important thing; everything else is secondary.

Perhaps this is also why he cannot awaken Conqueror's Haki.

Too realistic.

"make a deal."

“A wise choice.”

Hermes laughed.

“Mansherry”.

"clear."

Mansherry knew it was her turn to go on stage. She squeezed out two more tears, which fell on Kyoshiro and enhanced her healing abilities. She believed that Kyoshiro would be back to his old self in just a few minutes.

...

"General, we've found out who broke into your mansion last time."

this day.

Fukurokuju, the leader of the Oniwabanshu, arrived at Kurozumi Orochi's temporary residence with a stack of documents in his hand. He had investigated the identity of the outsider from the Beasts Pirates.

"Goo-ho-ho".

"You guys get out of the way first."

Once again, the charcoal-faced serpent, surrounded by beauties on both sides, gestured for the two beauties beside him to stop feeding him wine and food, and then took the documents handed to him by Fukurokuju.

"Hermes Jormungandr, the King of Hunters?"

Looking at the information in the document, Kurozumi Orochi laughed arrogantly.

"The other party is a pirate hunter who specializes in hunting pirates for bounties. A few months ago, he fought against Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and both sides were injured."

The Navy itself acknowledged the title of King of Hunters.

Not long ago, he even captured Charlotte Smoothie, one of the Sweet Commanders under Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors. He's a very powerful man.

Fu Lu Shou were somewhat astonished.
