Chapter 45 - I'm at odds with Xiaoming

"You don't need to emphasize it, I know Xiaoming!"

Hermes is fearless and the most courageous man in the sea. The mere Seven Warlords of the Sea cannot frighten him.

However, judging from the current situation, Xiaoming is a mini-boss in the early stages, so it's possible to gain some experience from him.

If we're talking about whether Hermes in the One Piece world has anyone he admires, then Xiao Ming, who killed his father to prove his Dao, is one of them. He's just as ruthless as her, the only difference being that Hermes has no emotions.

Unfortunately, such a powerful figure ultimately succumbed to the protagonist's aura.

well....

Everyone has a story!

"Xiao Ming?"

Jorah was unaware of Hermes' inner thoughts; she only heard Xiaoming's voice.

It took him three seconds to realize that it was his young master.

He was furious on the spot.

"Damn it, how dare you disrespect the young master! I'll kill you!"

"The Art of Life".

Jorah, enraged, unleashed a wave of colorful mist at Hermes with both hands. The speed was much faster than his previous attacks. Once Hermes was covered in the mist, he would twist and turn into an art mural.

Hermes considered this artistic fruit to be extremely powerful.

It possesses a fairly comprehensive ability, capable of turning even living beings and everything around it into works of art. Therefore, it can also be used against enemy attacks. If it continues to be developed further, this Devil Fruit will truly be unsolvable.

But Jorah is already in his sixties or seventies.

What a waste of natural resources!

Swish! ! !

Hermes disappeared again, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Jorah. In close combat, he was an eternal god, and Jorah noticed him, but it was too late.

Accompanied by screams.

Jorah's body jolted, and a burst of energy shot through his back and out of his chest, striking the ship's railing with undiminished force, causing massive damage before disappearing into the sea.

Fresh, foul-smelling blood gushed out.

The colorful haze that Jora had spewed from her hands disappeared, and her wrinkled face turned deathly pale. Her heart felt like it had been pierced, and all her strength was gradually being drained away.

"who are you."

It crashed to the ground.

Jorah's mouth began to bleed, his eyes filled with anger and fear. He was angry that his opponent was not afraid of the young master and that he had been defeated so easily.

The fear was that she was about to die and could feel herself getting weaker and weaker.

"Hermes Jormungandr, the Hunting King!"

"I am very interested in Don Quixote Doflamingo; his head must be worth a lot of money."

Hermes was very open and honest, unlike those who did good deeds anonymously, whom he always disdained.

Currently, his reputation is only spreading around the Kingdom of Prodens. If he wants to launch the world's number one battle, he naturally needs to recruit a formidable opponent.

This way, your reputation can spread faster and wider.

Doflamingo also happened to be in the wrong place at the right time.

Hermes was already facing off against one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea right after leaving the starting village. The thought of it was quite exciting.

That's arrogant, outrageous, and suicidal!

Leave your name here.

Hermes took to the air but didn't finish off Jorah. Several pirates were still alive on the ship, which Hermes had deliberately left behind so they could inform Doflamingo.

In pursuit of thrills.

He also wanted to experience the thrill of being hunted down.

The protagonists in most novels and screenplays are like this: they are either being chased or on their way to being chased, and then they go through all kinds of hardships and battles before finally achieving greatness and reaching the pinnacle.

From the moment he transmigrated, Hermes felt like he was the protagonist, but the first few years were a bit rough, which made this idea less firm.

But then he perked up again.

"Quickly heal Lord Jorah!"

Seeing Hermes leave, the surviving pirates were terrified and rushed to Jorah's side to frantically bandage and treat him.

As a pirate who lives on the sea, I know some first aid knowledge. It's a skill that every pirate must master, otherwise it would be an insult to the pirate profession.

If not, then it means this pirate is not pure.

"Inform Torebour, and tell the young master that he must avenge me."

Jorah struggled to stay conscious, clinging tightly to a pirate beside him. After speaking, his head lolled to the side, his vision went black, and his breathing became barely perceptible.

Whether we survive or not depends on Buddha.

the other side.

Dressrosa.

In a manor very close to the King's Heights, Torrepol, who was preparing to take Dressrosa, received a call from Jorah immediately.

"What did you say?"

"Jora isn't dead, is he?!"

The phone hangs up.

Torrepol sniffed, then solemnly picked up a pink Den Den Mushi from the drawer. The Den Den Mushi was wearing a goose-feather coat and sunglasses.

Brubru!

The Den Den Mushi rang for about thirty seconds before being answered.

"Fufufu~"

"Torrebol, what is it!"

Although the voice on the other end of the phone was gentle, it revealed an underlying arrogance and domineering attitude, with occasional screams escaping from it.

There were even shouts that came from the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

It's clear that the person on the other end of the phone is either fighting or killing someone.

It was none other than Donquixote Doflamingo, the ruthless hero who killed his father to prove his path.

"Young Master, Jorah was attacked on the road and is now on the verge of death."

After Trebol finished speaking, Doflamingo remained silent for three seconds.

"Who is it, Fufufu!"

"A man who calls himself the King of the Hunt is named Hermes Jormungandr."

"Investigate and send Buffalo to meet them. Also, send Diamanti to capture the dwarf princess Mansherry. If the last investigation was correct, she is a healer who ate the Healing Fruit. She should be able to save Jora."

A true tyrant is indeed a tyrant; his intelligence is always on point.

With his ability to make perfect arrangements at the first moment, his ruthlessness, and his calm intelligence, it would be difficult for Doflamingo not to succeed.

"I'll make arrangements right away."

"Let's move the plan forward. We'll take Dressrosa in three days. I've already lost interest in King Riku."

"Yes, my lord."

The Den Den Mushi hung up.

On an island far in the first half of the Grand Line, Doflamingo sat on a wooden crate, surrounded by smoke and fire, with more than a dozen people kneeling before him.

They look like pirates from a powerful pirate crew.

"Pica, G, Jay, stop playing around. We should go back to Dressrosa. That's our kingdom."

Flames flashed beneath his sunglasses as Doflamingo stood up, his pink feathered coat billowing in the wind behind him.

"Young Master, is it finally time to take action?"

"a ha ha ha."

"Kill them all, leaving no one behind."

"Spare us."

"Ahhhh!"

"Doflamingo, you're a lackey of the World Government, you don't deserve to be a pirate."

"…"

The insults and curses abruptly ceased amidst the screams. After Doflamingo and his group left, all that remained was a scene of devastation and mountains of corpses.

the next day.

A news report spread throughout the world.

The fourth Shichibukai, Donquixote Doflamingo, the Heavenly Demon, wiped out a pirate crew with a total bounty of over 800 million on the Grand Line.

This news report caused quite a stir.

Since the implementation of the Seven Warlords of the Sea system, the Navy has been ridiculed a lot, since which pirate would be stupid enough to become a lackey of the World Government?

This will make you a laughingstock among your peers for the rest of your life.

Anyone with a bit of backbone and a sense of pride would never become a Shichibukai.

But when Dracule Mihawk, who has been the most popular figure in recent years and is vaguely considered the world's greatest swordsman, Boa Hancock, who is vaguely considered the world's most beautiful woman, and the tyrant Bartholomew Kuma, all became Shichibukai and began to ruthlessly hunt down pirate crews on the high seas, everything changed.

Because they are too powerful.

No pirate crew that gets targeted can escape; they are either wiped out or all members are imprisoned in Impel Down, the world's largest prison.

This is very abnormal.

Compared to the top three Shichibukai, Doflamingo is no less formidable. In recent months, he has taken down quite a few pirate crews, all of which have a bounty starting at 300 million.

In addition, with the Navy granting some power to the Seven Warlords of the Sea, some pirates gradually began to change their minds.

From initial disdain to now having people wanting to become Shichibukai, the Navy's selection of Shichibukai candidates is not just based on strength, but also on various influences and other factors involved.

Therefore, after Doflamingo became a Shichibukai, the fifth, sixth, and seventh Shichibukai positions have yet to be determined.
