The most courageous pirate hunter

No wonder I felt so much pressure when I faced them last time; it turns out they were no small fry.

Although Wano Country is in a state of isolation, for people like Kurozumi Orochi, information from the outside world is at most delayed.

They were aware of powerful forces such as the Four Emperors, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the Navy.

For example, the Beasts Pirates, who cooperated with them, were a Yonko (Emperor of the Sea). If it weren't for the Beasts Pirates, he really wouldn't have been able to defeat Kozuki Oden and successfully seize the position of Shogun and control the entire Wano Country.

"General, what do we do now? Should we go and rescue Kyoshiro?"

"Hehehe, have you found out where they are?"

Kurozumi Orochi put down the intelligence, a hint of apprehension in his heart.

"No, because you didn't order an investigation."

Fukurokuju could tell from Kurozumi Orochi's expression that Orochi was about to give up on Kyoshiro.

After all, Kyoshiro was just a samurai he recruited. It was really unnecessary for him to antagonize the King of Hunters for the sake of him. As long as it didn't threaten Orochi's rule, this despicable man was willing to give up anything.

"Then let's just forget about it!"

really.

Kurozumi Orochi did not disappoint him.

They are still so selfish, shameless, and utterly devoid of morality.

"Yes!"

"By the way, regarding the construction of a weapons factory in Caishen Town, are there still any lowly people opposing or obstructing it?"

Orochi quickly put Kyoshiro aside and started discussing expanding the weapons factory.

"Yes."

"Hmph, since these lowly people don't know what's good for them, then arrest them all and send them to the quarry. Quinn just happened to be short of men and asked me for some."

The face of the black charcoal serpent was full of cruelty.

Anyone who stands in his way of getting rich must be eliminated.

the other side.

Rabbit Bowl Quarry.

There are a large number of prisoners mining here, and the one in charge is Queen the Plague, one of the three calamities under Kaido, one of the Four Emperors.

A bald, sunglasses-wearing, purple-lipped, gold-braided man with a mechanically modified prosthetic limb on his left hand, two gold mustaches, a gold ponytail, wearing black and white suspender jumpsuits, and a cigar in his mouth.

Animal type, Dragon-Dragon Fruit, ancient species, Brachiosaurus form ability user.

Extremely powerful.

He is also a scientist who creates dangerous mechanical weapons and germs, making him a remarkable man with both strength and talent.

However, such people are usually unreliable and quite neurotic.

"Yo yo yo!"

"What did you say?"

Quinn, who was singing karaoke into a microphone, bent down to listen to his subordinate's report.

"Lord Quinn, I heard that Orochi is in trouble. A fellow called Hermes Jormungandr, the King of Hunters, has attacked the General's mansion."

Our subordinates, Fu Lu Shou, even came to us to inquire about it.

"Stop the music."

Queen snapped his fingers, and the lively music stopped abruptly, as did many of the dancing pirates.

"Hermes Jormungandr, the King of Hunters? Where have I heard that name before?"

Quinn picked at his ear, reminiscing.

Chapter 85 [Flowing Armament Haki]

"Is that the Hunter King who fought the Seven Warlords of the Sea to a standstill, and then captured Charlotte Smoothie, one of the Four Sweet Commanders, and sold her to the Navy? Didn't Lord Queen just see the news recently?"

"Oh right, I remember now."

After being reminded by his subordinate, Quinn suddenly realized what was going on.

"Is that idiot Kurozumi Orochi dead yet?"

"No."

"That's a shame."

Quinn expressed his regret, but then continued singing karaoke without dwelling on it.

As long as it doesn't interfere with his work, he can attack the Shogun's mansion however he wants, but Orochi can't die yet, since he still needs this guy to control Wano Country.

The country of peace.

Not far from the coastline, in a primeval forest, towering trees stand tall, and all kinds of snakes, insects, poisonous ants, extinct or strange creatures abound.

In such an environment, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to survive.

It is an undeveloped virgin land.

As for why there is such a place, it is very common in the world of One Piece. Almost every island has such a place that is rarely visited by people.

boom! ! !

Deep in the forest, a colossal tree that would take five people holding hands to encircle began to collapse after a series of swaying movements, the tremendous roar causing a great commotion among the animals.

Even the ground trembled.

"I never expected that I would master the Flowing Cherry Blossom skill in just one month."

not far away.

Kyoshiro's eyes were filled with disbelief. The man standing beside the giant tree root had such incredible talent. It had taken him several years to awaken Ryuo.

However, Ryuo is apparently called Armament Haki outside of the game.

Perhaps the opponent already possessed Armament Haki, which is why they learned the Ryuo technique so quickly.

"Hahaha~"

"Captain, you've succeeded!"

"The giant tree appears fine on the surface, but it has developed cracks inside, and some parts have even crumbled."

Mansherry jumped onto the giant tree and carefully observed its interior.

"I never knew Armament Haki had this technique; I've never heard of it before."

Burgess was genuinely surprised.

Although he also knows Armament Haki, it's only the most basic entanglement to increase defense and attack power. He's never even heard of techniques like internal destruction.

"Bages, do you want to experience it for yourself?"

Hermes raised his right hand, on which flowed a layer of purplish-white liquid, crystal clear like glass, magnificent and dazzling.

This is the power of Ryuo!

It possesses the powerful effect of striking from the inside out, causing damage from within.

It took me a month to finally master this skill.

"I'm ready."

Bages wasn't intimidated. He assumed a horse stance, his chest covered in Armament Haki, and his eyes held a hint of provocation. He wanted to see just how powerful the internal sabotage technique that Hermes valued so highly really was.

Anyway, with Mansherry around, he won't die as long as he has a breath left.

"Be careful."

Hermes clenched his fist slightly, and a purplish-white liquid began to cover his entire arm. Then he punched Bages in the chest.

For an instant.

Bages' face turned red, and he then spat out a mouthful of blood. He staggered back a few steps, clutching his chest in agony. Through his body, one could see that his internal organs had been damaged and he was bleeding profusely.

But there wasn't a single mark on the surface of his chest.

"Help me quickly."

Bages's voice had changed; his entire chest was burning with a stinging pain, and he was even starting to feel numb. He felt completely insecure.

"Is it really that powerful?"

Mansherry squeezed out a few tears. As her powerful healing abilities took effect, Burgess's internal organs began to recover, and the effect was still outstanding.

"This technique is used in a terrifying way."

Bages took a deep breath, his expression grave.

His Armament Haki covered the surface of his chest, but it couldn't protect his internal organs. This internal damage made him a nemesis of some monsters.

You must learn this trick.
