"What happened!"
"It sounds like there's fighting."
"Someone has invaded and is trying to cause trouble!"
The commotion quickly alerted the other members of the Giraffe Pirates, who came running out from other places, weapons in hand and looking menacing. They looked at their two companions lying on the ground, barely alive, and their eyes all turned to Hermes.
The stunned pirate also fell victim to Hermes's cruelty, lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, blood trickling from his kidneys.
"Where did this brat come from?"
"If anyone dares to provoke us, we won't let them get away with it, even if they're just a brat."
"Go and take him out, don't delay our evacuation."
Many pirates didn't take Hermes seriously. One of them, who held some position, finished giving his orders and turned to leave.
Hermes remained silent, as if a tiger had entered a pack of wolves and was taking the initiative to attack.
"what!!!"
The approaching pirate screamed, blood gushing out like a fountain, and he was instantly killed in a single encounter.
"Damn, this kid's got some skills."
"It's very sharp."
"shot!"
"too slow."
At such close range, the guns posed almost no threat to Hermes. He dodged left and right, his gun flashing like a dragon, every strike deserving its purpose.
"What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"
Ent, who was resting in his room, pushed open the door with a grim expression. Before he could even reprimand someone, a pirate rushed in looking flustered.
"Captain, we're under attack."
"Attack?"
Ent's first thought was Kuzan, and his expression changed instantly.
"Is it the navy?"
"No, it's a brat."
"call!"
Ent was so agitated, he almost got wet just now.
Very exciting.
Once the anxiety subsides, Ent is filled with anger.
I was already annoyed by being disturbed, and now this has only made things worse.
Without leaving a word, Ent picked up two steel knives and walked outside. He wanted to see who was so foolish as to cause trouble when he was in a bad mood.
It's clear that the other party is doomed.
"You bastard, who are you?"
Do you know where this place is?
"I'm a pirate from the Giraffe Pirates."
The fighting outside is going crazy.
Hermes is like the Grim Reaper, reaping lives. Even when the enemy is numerous, he is merely honing his skills such as Observation Haki and Iron Body.
Faced with the questioning and threats, Hermes remained silent.
That silent response only increased the pressure on the pirates.
With friends and colleagues falling one after another, it's impossible not to panic.
"White shirt, black trousers, tousled hair, black eyes, eighteen or nineteen years old... Damn it, could it be Hermes Jormungandr, the pirate hunter who killed Boom Rabbit?!"
The observant pirates realized what was happening and were somewhat uncertain.
"Kid, if you've got the guts, tell me your name."
Hermes Jormungandr.
Hermes pointed at the fallen man, no longer remaining silent. After all, he wanted the man to die with his eyes open in peace, which was the most basic human decency, and Hermes still possessed that much decency.
"Damn it, it really is the guy who killed Bomb Rabbit."
Pirates were terrified.
After all, they had fought against the Violent Family before and knew the fighting power of Boom Wolf and Boom Rabbit well. Only the captain and first mate could match them.
This kid is capable of single-handedly defeating Boom Bunny, so by comparison, he could probably single-handedly defeat their vice-captain as well.
However, the first mate was not there; he had gone to the royal palace.
Last night, the eldest prince sent someone to invite the captain, but the captain didn't want to get involved in the battle for the throne, so he sent the first mate to give him a perfunctory refusal.
"Kid, you don't think you can mess with the Giraffe Pirates just because you can take down Bomb Rabbit, do you?!"
Some pirates were also angry because Hermes was too arrogant.
They just brazenly barged into the territory of the Giraffe Pirates, slaughtering everyone without any regard for them. In this world, face is everything, how could they tolerate this?
The opponent was simply too strong.
"Fire! Fire!"
"Kill him."
"Ah! Help me!"
Despite not having the numerical advantage, Hermes continued to charge in and out.
I don't know which pirate he snatched an iron rod from, and with one blow, chickens and dogs flew and dogs roamed. At best, one blow crippled someone; at worst, it killed them.
boom! ! !
A tremendous roar resounded, and Hermes' expression changed. He immediately raised his iron rod to block in front of him. The next moment, a powerful whip leg swept across, and the force made Hermes lose his balance. He was forced to retreat, bumping into many pirates along the way.
This caused a great deal of wailing.
Hermes rolled up from the ground, shook his hands, and saw a tall, thin man with a small tuft of beard.
That's right.
This man is Ent, the captain of the Giraffe Pirates, with a bounty of 58 million.
"Where did this kid come from?"
Ente, carrying two steel knives, felt even worse.
Looking at the many subordinates lying on the ground, he frowned slightly and glanced at Hermes, his expression not so pleasant.
"Captain, this brat is Hermes Jormungandr, the pirate hunter who killed Bomb Rabbit."
One of his men, panting heavily, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Ent appear. As long as the captain showed up, this brat was doomed.
"Jormungandr?"
Before Ent could speak again, Hermes made his move.
Now that the main character has appeared, let's get started!
Running at top speed, Hermes arrived in front of Ent and struck him with his iron club, perfectly demonstrating what it means to be fast, accurate, and ruthless.
"court death."
Ent finally understood that the other party was here to cause trouble.
With a powerful and heavy strike, the steel blade in his hand slashed at Hermes with no less force. With a muffled groan, Hermes felt a numbness in his hand and couldn't help but take a step back.
Ent was also surprised.
Those who can withstand a single blow from him are extremely rare on the high seas.
Hermes snorted and thrust his staff forward, but Ent reacted quickly and managed to trap the two steel blades. Hermes pulled his staff back and thrust again, but Ent's twin blades once again wrapped around the staff, and the two began to exchange blows.
In just a few rounds, Ent began to sweat, but he fought with increasing ferocity, raising his two steel blades to counterattack. Although Hermes was not a stick wielder, every man is born with the ability to use a stick, and he would occasionally launch a counterattack or a white python entering the cave, almost stabbing deep several times.
And so they went back and forth, neither willing to give in, each trying harder than the other.
Gradually.
The panting grew louder and louder.
Hermes found an opportunity, and with a single blow, he successfully bypassed the two steel blades and struck Ent's vital point. With a painful groan, Ent's first blood was successfully taken by Hermes.
This made Ent even more furious.
boom! ! !
With another collision, the iron rod and two steel knives were knocked out of their hands.
Hermes thrust out his finger spear, and Ent's right hand transformed into a hoof. The two then staggered backward. Ent stared intently at Hermes with a grim face. Hermes' hoof was as hard as iron; against an ordinary opponent, his finger would surely have been broken.
"That's all."
Ent's body rapidly expanded, and he began to unleash his full power, transforming into a half-beast form, resembling a humanoid giraffe. This Devil Fruit will be eaten by CP9's Kaku in the future.
Combined with the Six Styles of the Navy, that's terrifying; it almost took down the green-haired guy.
Seeing Ent enter his half-beast form, Hermes also grew to a size of ten meters, casting a shadow that completely obscured Ent's body.
All the pirates present stared up at them with their mouths slightly agape.
Even Ent is the same.
After all, the sense of oppression brought by a huge size is visual.
"Point to the gun."
The ten-meter-tall Hermes raised his right hand high and quickly thrust it towards Ent. If it hit, it wouldn't just be a bloody hole, but a gaping hole.
Instead of taking the hit head-on, Ent chose to retreat.
Before Ent could retaliate, Hermes launched a new attack, his pillar-sized legs sweeping across the battlefield with overwhelming force.
"damn it."
Ent's fur stood on end, and he could only raise his hands to shield himself. At the moment of impact, he could feel a powerful force, which then sent him flying through walls before disappearing into the dust.
"captain."
"Fire! Fire!"
Some of the pirates nearby weren't stupid either, and they began to launch attacks to provide cover.
"King's Iron Block".
Hermes did not shrink to dodge immediately, but instead used his sure-defeat technique, Iron Block, to withstand the attack, showing that he would not let go of any opportunity to train.
Don't be fooled by the initial lack of skill with the Iron Body technique; once you reach a high level, you'll become indestructible.
Nima.
But it hurts so much.
After enduring a wave of attacks, Hermes shrank and then dashed through the crowd, reaping lives.
One scream after another.
"stop."
Dust billowed and spread, and Ent ran out from it, burning with rage, and kicked the other party, who completely disregarded him.
They actually went so far as to kill his men right in front of him; this is outrageous!
