The best kind of pirate hunter

"That brat...kill him."

"He's running in that direction. Let me catch him."

"Shoot, shoot."

It was dark at night, and at a slightly remote coastal entrance, a group of angry pirates, all short and fat, were chasing a thin figure with ferocious looks.

Bang bang bang!

Bullets flashed with sparks, leaving beautiful arcs and shooting straight into the night, filling the air with burning pleasure.

His rapid breathing was messy, as if he was doing something shameful, and his heart seemed to jump out of his throat at the next moment. Through a shy moonlight, he could clearly see that the group of pirates were chasing a sword-browed star-eyed man.

, with delicate features and tall stature, he perfectly interprets what it means to be an ordinary young man from top to bottom.

Even though he was being chased, and there were bullets close to him for kisses from time to time, Hermes did not panic too much. Instead, he had a face full of blood and enthusiasm, like a crazy lunatic desperately escaping into the darkness of the jungle.

We had already anticipated this situation when we took action. If we fail, we will be martyrs, if we succeed, we will be warriors.

All I can do now is run away with all my might, not to mention, it’s quite exciting.

Adrenaline hormones rush straight to the brain, the body rushes ahead, and the soul chases behind.

"Hope is a powerful devil fruit."

Various thorny branches in the jungle passed by, leaving scars, but this could no longer make Hermes feel pain, and now he was only excited.

In his hand, he suddenly grasped a fruit covered with strange patterns.

This is the secret treasure of the sea. If you eat it, you will get a devil fruit with special abilities. It is worth 100 million.

"It's a gamble."

No matter what abilities this devil fruit possesses, it can make the current situation and the future turn around, and even kill people to the extreme.

After taking a big sip, the taste is sour and refreshing, and the corners of your eyes are even a little moist.

Holding back the feeling of vomiting, I took a few bites, including the flesh, and soon a Devil Fruit fell into my stomach. Then something magical happened, and Hermes, who was running, suddenly disappeared.

Darkness sets in, and the smell of rotting plants hits our nostrils.

"Am I getting smaller?"

Looking at the giant tree-like weeds and leaves all around, the distance between my eyesight has simply plummeted.

Before even reacting, I naturally understood some of the basic abilities of this devil fruit.

"I saw this kid running this way, why is he missing?"

"Look for me. If you dare to steal something from our Broadsword Pirates, I will cut him into pieces."

A ferocious voice came, and more than a dozen footsteps appeared around. The normal size of the pirate was like a giant in the eyes of Hermes.

After all, he is only five millimeters now, about the size of a small ant, and considering the surrounding environment, he is like a grain of dust.

Slow down your breathing and hide under a piece of grass. Hermes is hiding and waiting.

Slowly, the pirate hunt began to fade away.

After a long time.

"Jiejiejiejie~"

The unconcealable excitement and madness sounded in the dead of night, and it seemed a bit eerie when heard from a distance, making people shudder.

"Superman type mini fruit, this life is in the right place."

Hermes' mind moved, and his five-millimetre body quickly grew in size, returning to his normal height of one-meter-seventy-five meters. Hermes clenched his fists and was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

He knew that this Devil Fruit was eaten by a giant in the original novel, but it was a pity that such a powerful Devil Fruit had not been developed at all.

"Leave here first and then study it carefully."

With another thought, Hermes suddenly became thirty centimeters in size and quickly shuttled through the grass.

More than two hours later.

In a simple house not far from the slums, Hermes' excitement had calmed down.

look around.

The living environment is not very good, but it is much better than those in the slums. At least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so that the house is not bare.

Even so, he had no choice but to succeed.

"Whoa!"

Sitting on a wooden bed covered with only a thin blanket, my original body size of 1.75 meters suddenly reduced to 5 millimeters. It was like a piece of mouse excrement, but it was human-sized rat excrement.

The kind with a nose and eyes.

"Five millimeters. Maintaining this size can avoid many dangers, as long as you don't encounter sexual harassment."

Maintaining a body size of five millimeters, Hermes looked at his simple room, which was extremely big, and he suddenly felt full of happiness!

There was another change, the body size reached 30 centimeters, which was much larger than 5 millimeters, but compared to the normal body size of 1.75 meters, it was still not big enough.

"There is no change in strength after getting smaller."

"You can also turn into a five-meter giant, but it's not easy to experiment here."

Just like the original work, Lily Ernstmark, who eats the mini fruit, has three transformations: one is a giant of five millimeters, thirty centimeters and more than ten meters.

Maybe Lily Ernstmark is a giant herself, so she can grow to more than ten meters, but Hermes is not. In addition, he just ate the mini fruit, so the maximum size can only be five meters. It will be confirmed after subsequent development.

It can become ten meters, fifty meters or even one hundred meters.

In other words, mini fruits are not a fixed three-stage transformation. After all, any devil fruit can be developed. This is the magic and charm of devil fruits.

It can be said that mini fruits are large and small fruits, which can become larger or smaller. However, they have limitations at the beginning and can only be shaped and changed through development.

"It's been more than a year since I came to this world, and I'm finally starting to stand up."

After testing his abilities again and again, Hermes sat cross-legged on the bed to calm down his mixed emotions.

a year ago.

He inexplicably traveled through time, and was extremely excited at first. After all, those who travel through time are at the peak of their lives. Later, he began to look forward to Golden Finger.

It's a pity that there is no pity.

It's all in vain.

The most important thing is that he traveled to the world of One Piece where order was broken down and people were indifferent. Pirates were everywhere here, and darkness was everywhere. If you were unlucky at the beginning, you might be trafficked, and then you would end up living a miserable life in darkness.

That year.

He was careful and careful, and lived an honest and harmless life. Even so, he almost died of poverty, starvation, and beatings, and he wandered around and ate several hungry meals.

In order to survive, he had done all kinds of things, such as stealing chickens and dogs, looking for food in garbage dumps, and robbing children and the elderly.

Just thinking about it makes me feel sad and burst into tears. Even though he died of poverty in his previous life, he didn't suffer from hunger for several meals. He had never suffered such grievances. It was really a crime.

Then he followed the Romans and took the name Hermes Jormungandr.

He also looked for a job, but unfortunately few people took notice of him, and he was even almost sold into slavery several times. Fortunately, he knew the filthiness of the world and was careful about it, otherwise his end might have been miserable.

The Pirate King Gol D. Roger has started the era of great pirates for several years. With his "one piece", the profession of pirates has been growing like a weed. Those who can grow into towering trees will also be famous in the sea in the future.

.

The only people who suffer are the ordinary people. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are living in hell.

He felt it deeply.

It’s hard to get along!

When he first learned that this was the world of One Piece, Hermes had already made a preliminary plan, which was to become stronger. Only in this way could he be fed, clothed, warm, and have a lot of money to spend.

Look at this object, how subtle and sad it is.

But it is too difficult to be strong.

First of all, the first hurdle is survival. Just thinking about what I experienced during that year makes me have a myocardial infarction. But I have to be grateful for that time, otherwise I wouldn’t have grown so much.

He is no longer the poor man he was before time travel.

You must be unambiguous when you should be ruthless, you must be unambiguous when you should run for your life, and you must be unambiguous when you should be brave. In this orderly world ruled by chaos, there are mountains of corpses in invisible places, but there are also mountains of corpses.

Breathtaking scenery.

If he wanted to see the magnificent scenery and not become a corpse, he, Hermes Jörmungandr, had to eat and drink well and climb up, with a small goal, to become stronger and stronger.

Currently, Hermes works as a busboy in a tavern, barely supporting himself and having a place to live.

Until a few days ago, I met a group of drunken pirates from the Broadsword Pirates who said they had found a treasure map, which even contained the secret treasure of the sea, the Devil Fruit.

Hermes, who was mopping the floor at that time, immediately became energetic.

He knows very well that without the benefits of being a time traveler, Devil Fruit is one of the shortest ways to change his destiny. As long as he has Devil Fruit, he can survive the most embarrassing early stage of his life.

A proper pot of gold.

As long as he has this pot of gold, many things won't be a problem. For example, he wanted to join the navy before, but unfortunately he was rejected because he was thin and looked like a beggar.

This was something Hermes did not expect. After all, it was different from what he imagined.

In this era of great pirates, shouldn't the navy expand its armaments? But the reality is that not everyone in the navy can accept it, and it is even rarer to be favored by some generals.

Obviously Hermes doesn't have that good of a script.

In fact, Hermes didn't have high expectations at that time, because the treasure map might be fake. Even if it was true, if the Broadsword Pirates found the treasure, there might not be a Devil Fruit in it.

Even though the Kingdom of Prodence is located in the New World.

That's right.

The place where Hermes travels is the Kingdom of Prodence. The most famous thing is probably the king's fist of the king of this country, Elizabello II. It is said that after warming up for an hour, he can kill the four emperors with one punch.

This cow is a little bloated.

However, Elizabello 2 has not yet become the king, because the Kingdom of Prodence is in a civil war, possibly fighting for the throne.

This is also the reason why Hermes was in such a miserable state at the beginning. The whole country fell into civil war, coupled with the royal family's intrigues and collusion with pirates, the underworld, arbitrary tax collection, human trafficking, and all kinds of chaos, it was the end of the dynasty.

, the people at the lowest level are naturally even worse off.

It is very common to be robbed and stabbed to death while walking on the street, or to be killed by thugs who pass by you because they don't like you.

It is a miracle that Hermes can survive to this day without being put in a sack, cut off his waist and trafficked.

However, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Hermes was not willing to miss it, so in those days he paid attention to the Broadsword Pirates covertly and covertly.

Don't say it yet.

Not only was the treasure map real, the Broadsword Pirates actually found it, but several pirates were taken away by various agencies. The most important thing is that there really is a Devil Fruit in it.

The captain did not eat it immediately, but wanted to sell it for 100 million.

Among this group of pirates, Bailey is the most tempting.

This gave Hermes a chance, and then on this dark and windy night, Hermes carefully came to the shabby base of the Broadsword Pirates, risking failure or failure, and successfully stole the mini fruit.

.

The reason why the theft was so smooth and almost unnoticed is because pirates in this world generally like to drink. Perhaps it is because the upcoming 100 million beli made everyone in the Broadsword Pirates forget about it and start a good business one after another.

A few days of banquets.

I was so drunk every time that I almost took off my clothes and just called Hermes to come on.

Finally Hermes accomplished it...
