The most courageous pirate hunter

The sound of rhythmic footsteps.

The humanoid shadow gradually became clearer, and Hermes was seen walking while brushing the dust off his clothes; his shirt was tattered and beyond repair.

I simply ripped it off.

At the same time, he vomited a mouthful of bloody water from one side of his mouth.

"Who exactly are you?"

Runti swayed as she got up and looked at Hermes' chest. It was only slightly red, a far cry from the disembowelment she had imagined. There wasn't even the slightest bruise.

What a joke.

She was starting to doubt her own abilities.

Hermes Jormungandr.

Hermes twisted his neck, quite pleased with his defense.

Ironclad armor combined with Armament Haki makes for an excellent build.

Hermes Jormungandr.

Runti muttered to herself, feeling like she'd heard the name somewhere before. But when she saw the scarlet spider lily tattoo on Hermes' neck, she suddenly realized who it was.

"Are you Hermes Jormungandr, the Hunter King who captured Charlotte Smoothie?"

Runti's pale face grew serious.

When she first saw this news, she certainly mocked Smoothie quite a bit.

"It must be me."

Hermes smiled, and high-temperature steam began to rise from his body before disappearing.

Danger.

Extremely dangerous.

Runti's hair stood on end. She immediately unleashed her Observation Haki and headbutted to her left. The next moment, Hermes appeared, but quickly vanished.

That was just an afterimage.

"what!!!"

A painful scream came from Runti's mouth. She was seen forming a C-shape as a whip-like leg, flowing with purplish-white liquid, slammed heavily into her waist. A cracking sound could be clearly heard.

The ground was stripped of a layer of skin, and Runti shot out with a sonic boom. Before she even landed, Hermes appeared in the air and then stomped down with a cold and merciless foot.

The rocky ground within a radius of a kilometer was shattered, and a spiderweb-like crack spread out, revealing Runti, whose face was covered in blood, trapped deep within it, and who was directly beaten back into human form, a truly gruesome sight.

Clearly, Hermes' all-out attack was too much for Ulti, one of the Flying Six, to handle, as she had no chance to catch her breath.

In addition, the domineering internal destruction completely weakened Runti's defense, so it's already impressive that she's still alive.

These past six months haven't been wasted.

The domineering aura of the purplish-white liquid dissipated, and Hermes sighed inwardly.

"300 million Berries in hand!"

He bent down, grabbed Runti by the neck, and lifted her up. Hermes was in a good mood, after all, this represented 300 million Berries, which was a considerable fortune for his current net worth.

Runti looked at Hermes with a weak breath, but could not utter a word. The injuries she had suffered were too great, and even as a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, it would take a long time to recover.

the other side.

Having lost the initiative, Quinn was also beaten without any power to resist. Burgess kept grabbing his tail and smashing it around, leaving the surrounding area cratered and covered in spilled blood.

"Too deceiving."

Quinn suppressed the dizziness, quickly reverted from his full beast form to human form, forcefully broke free and crashed into a pile of rocks, causing a lot of dust before re-entering his full beast form.

"Hahaha~"

"Immense Power - Wave Elbow Strike".

Burgess, flexing his biceps, saw that Hermes had already dealt with the 300 million Berries. He turned sideways, his Armament Haki flowing, and charged towards Queen like an unbreakable torrent of steel.

"court death."

Quinn was bleeding profusely from his head and had gone completely mad. He opened his blood-red maw and a blinding light shone from his throat, as did his mechanical arm.

He's a self-modified robot.

shhhhhh! ! !

Beams of laser light pierced through eardrums and surged toward the charging Burgess. Seeing this, Mansherry quickly used Shave to disappear.

Her intuition told her that her iron block couldn't withstand the weight.

"Iron block".

Burgess showed no fear, his body bulging as he ran, while Armament Haki, which had only flowed from half of his body, surged and covered his entire body, indicating that he was about to unleash a fierce attack.

Visible to the naked eye.

During the collision, Burgess was directly knocked away by the laser, which caused a large-scale explosion in the surrounding area. Burgess' momentum did not diminish, and at that moment he seemed to have become an invincible warrior.

"Brachiosaurus Bomb".

Seeing Burgess approach, Quinn felt a chill run down his spine. It was too late to dodge. In that case, let's see whose attack is stronger.

His head was tilted back, filled with a thick layer of Armament Haki.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Burgess, carrying earth-shattering power, slammed into Quinn's stomach without reservation, while Quinn's head crashed into Burgess like a meteorite with a sonic boom.

They're all ruthless people.

A moment of brilliance.

A massive explosion erupted, causing the ground within a kilometer radius to rise, and a powerful air pressure enveloped everything, utterly destroying everything in its path.

Thick clouds of dust and smoke billowed into the sky.

The entire quarry rapidly collapsed and split apart, the tremendous noise even spreading to other areas, creating the illusion of an earthquake with landslides and ground fissures.

Chapter 89 [He's about to take off and become the coolest kid!]

"Who's winning."

Mansherry, who had been observing from the sidelines, jumped onto Hermes' shoulder, her big, round eyes fixed on the center of the explosion, where thick smoke and ash continued to expand, filled with chaotic forces.

Even with her advanced skills in Observation and Perception, she couldn't figure it out clearly.

"As one of the three calamities, he does have some skills."

As the dust gradually settled, the interior was revealed.

Quinn had reverted to human form, bleeding from all seven orifices as he sank into a crevice in the boulder. In the crater in front of him, Burgess staggered to his feet, also bleeding from a head wound and panting heavily.

Bages wins this round.

Having obtained the Power-Power Fruit ahead of time, along with abilities like Iron Body and Internal Destruction, Burgess's strength far surpasses that of the future. This is the benefit of following the right leader.

Quinn is no small fry either.

Despite the serious injuries, life is still stubbornly persistent.

This is what makes Zoan-type Devil Fruit users so terrifying, especially Ancient Zoan users.

"Hahaha~"

Burgess spat out the blood in his mouth and began to show off his biceps in his signature way. He was bursting with confidence at this moment. The famous Three Calamities had been defeated by him, and he believed that it would not be long before his name would spread throughout the sea.

He's about to take off and become the coolest kid ever.

"It's my turn! It's my turn!"

Mansherry vanished in a flash from Hermes' shoulder, reappearing on Bages' shoulder, a few tears forced from her eyes falling onto Bages and shimmering with green light.

If we don't act now, it will be difficult to get a share of the pie.

In her view, Burgess was seriously injured and even on the verge of death, which was the time for her to turn the tide.

"Ten billion twenty million in hand."

Bages stuck out his tongue and licked his lips exaggeratedly, his aura, which had plummeted, began to rise rapidly, and his wounds healed quickly.

This made Quinn, who was trapped in the rock crevice, so angry that he spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Lord Quinn."

"Lord Runti."

Looking around at the quarry that had been completely destroyed, many members of the Beasts Pirates were swallowing hard, completely bewildered. Those were Queen and Lady Ulti!

It used to be an invincible force, but now it lies sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, and the former worship and fear seem to be gradually diminishing.

Just as if you make God bleed, then the myth is shattered.

But there are still some loyal pirates.
