Boom Kaka!
Dark clouds shrouded the King's Highlands.
Numerous black and red lightning bolts fell, and an angry supreme will radiated outwards in waves, affecting the towns below.
"Jörmungandr!"
Doflamingo's entire face was contorted.
Veins bulged on his forehead, and a raging, domineering aura filled the surroundings. Behind him, Torrebol and the others also had ferocious faces full of killing intent.
Before them, Diamanti's mangled, headless corpse stood like sharp swords piercing their bodies—a provocation, an insult.
two days ago.
Doflamingo rushed back as soon as he received the news, but it was too late.
"Young Master, our treasury has been emptied."
"It was definitely Hermes Jormungandr who did it, and he also killed Diamante."
The battle back then couldn't be hidden at all; a simple investigation would reveal the truth.
"Damn scum."
"asshole."
"You beast hiding your head and tail!"
Everyone was trembling with anger.
Not only was Diamanti killed, but their life savings were also taken away, leaving them back to square one. This was an even greater grudge than the murder of their father.
That damn thing.
"Fufufu!"
"Use all available resources to find that bastard."
Doflamingo had never wanted to kill anyone so much. Hermes had seriously crossed his line, and he would not rest until he had reduced the other person to ashes.
The night passed.
A huge upheaval has occurred in the underworld, and a name has come into the sights of various major powers and kingdoms.
Hermes Jormungandr, the King of the Hunt, offers 100 million Berries for providing information about the whereabouts of any creature, 200 million for capturing a live one, and 150 million for a corpse.
Most importantly, this bounty was posted by the middleman JOKER.
In the current underworld, JOKER's power is growing rapidly. It may not have reached its peak yet, but it is already a force to be reckoned with.
Malinvando.
Naval Headquarters.
"Chief of Staff, news has come from the Don Quixote family, whom you asked me to keep a close eye on!"
A female marine pushed open the office door, gave a solemn military salute, and placed the documents in her hand on He's desk.
If we're talking about who Doflamingo fears most in the Navy, then it has to be Tsuru.
Before he became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, this woman kept a close watch on him, and he almost died several times. Even now that he has become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, this has not changed.
"Let me see!"
Looking up from the pile of documents, He pushed up her glasses. She was far from being as white-haired as she would be in the future. Although she was gentle now, her indomitable spirit could not be concealed no matter how hard she tried to keep it hidden.
Looking at the major figures in the One Piece world, most of them are male, but there are also women who shine brightly, and some are even more powerful and terrifying than the men.
He is one of them.
Whether it's the era of One Piece, the current Great Pirate Era, or the future Luffy Era, no one can ignore Tsuru.
That's a powerful performance.
"kindness?"
"Diamanty, one of Doflamingo's elite strategists, has been killed?"
Tsuru was very familiar with the Donquixote Family, having cornered them several times. She was originally planning to take action when they stole Dressrosa this time.
However, the Warring States period stopped it.
Firstly, because Doflamingo is now one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he fulfills his basic rights and obligations very well. In addition, he is a Celestial Dragon, and Donquixote is indeed the true royal of Dressrosa. Therefore, Tsuru turns a blind eye to his actions.
However, she still kept an eye on it.
We're just waiting for Doflamingo to slip up.
Recently, some clues have emerged suggesting that this guy might be involved in the unrest in several kingdoms.
"Pirate Hunter Hermes Jormungandr?"
On the black and white document, Hermes's roguishly handsome headshot came into the crane's view, and below it were some general information, such as Hermes's deeds and influence in the Kingdom of Prodens.
It's not complete, but it's pretty much all there.
After reading it, He pondered for a moment.
How to describe the story of how this pirate hunter made his fortune? It's quite ordinary, nothing particularly noteworthy. There are plenty of people like him on the high seas.
There's nothing unusual about it.
The reason Hermes could cause the crane to ponder was simply because of his prestige in the Kingdom of Prodens, which could eventually lead to hostility between the Kingdom of Prodens and the Kingdom of Dressrosa, and in that case, it would be the common people of both countries who would suffer.
It is also detrimental to regional stability.
"Keep an eye on Doflamingo; he's been acting very restless lately."
Tsuru didn't pay much attention to Hermes. In her opinion, Hermes would only be defeated by Doflamingo after defeating Diamante.
Since Doflamingo became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, there have been many who wanted his head, but they all failed in the end.
It's highly likely that Jormungandr will also become one of them.
"Yes."
After his subordinates left, Tsuru put down the documents in his hand and picked up another stack of documents, all of which contained wanted posters for pirates.
Among them are Logia-type Sand-Sand Fruit users, Jinbe the Knight of the Sea, Gecko Moria, and others.
There are currently four Shichibukai, and only three remain.
This is a difficult question.
at the same time.
Dressrosa.
Greenbit is a small, uninhabited island covered with tall plants, making it a primeval forest. Beneath this forest lies a hidden kingdom.
It is also the stronghold of the Lilliputians, called the Kingdom of Dongdada.
Despite their small size, the Dwarfs are much faster and stronger than ordinary humans, a phenomenon that is quite common in the world of One Piece.
It seems that all races are generally stronger than normal humans, provided that we are talking about normal humans, not monsters and perverts!
"Mansherry, where have you been all this time?!"
Outside the forest mushroom house, many little people surrounded Mansherry, including King Gancho and Leo, who appeared in the original story. They were all surprised and delighted.
They have been searching for Mansherry ever since she went missing.
They were surprised when Mansherry suddenly returned today, along with another human, which made them very wary.
Many of the dwarves suspected that this human had abducted Mansherry.
"I was kidnapped by the Don Quixote family."
Recalling her time as a prisoner, Mansherry's nose tingled, and large tears began to well up in her eyes; she felt utterly wronged.
She thought she would never see Leo again, or anyone else.
Today, she timidly begged Hermes to let her know she was safe at home before fulfilling their agreement, even though she was prepared to be refused from the start.
Unexpectedly, this human was easier to talk to than I imagined. If only he wasn't so fierce and scary normally!
"Damn it, it really is the Don Quixote family! I suspected it all along!"
Leo looked furious.
He had been suspicious when he couldn't find Mansherry for a while, and was planning to sneak into the King's Highlands in a couple of days, but he didn't expect Mansherry to return.
"Mansherry, who is this human?"
As a member of the Lilliputian scout team, Vika approached Mansherry and looked at the nonchalant Hermes with a slightly wary eye.
"His name is Hermes Jormungandr. He is the one who saved me, but on the condition that I stay by his side for a period of time. He needs my healing abilities."
After hesitating for a moment, Mansherry still introduced herself in a low voice.
Anyway, I'll be leaving soon.
"Stay by his side?"
The first sentence was alright; he was a savior.
But the following sentence wasn't so pleasant to hear.
