One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 247: Chapter 247 Hermes



The metal wings on its back were only seen retracted into the exoskeleton. From the outside, at least it did not look like it had two pairs of wings.

"roar!!!"

The gold-eating ant king rushed over again. As the king of this island, how could it tolerate anyone challenging its majesty!

"Hahahahahaha, you're still not convinced? Then I'll beat you into submission!"

Li Yuan's Observation Haki clearly sensed the Gold-Eating Ant King's unwillingness, and he laughed loudly, then raised his fist and hit him again.

The Gold-Eating Ant King's armed color domineering and strength are very strong, and he can fight for a while even if he meets Barrett. But the one he met was Li Yuan. Even if Li Yuan only used his physique, he could easily crush the Gold-Eating Ant King.

Li Yuan's fists hit the Gold-Eating Ant King again and again. Although the Gold-Eating Ant King's huge body reacted very flexibly, it was impossible for him to avoid Li Yuan's fists.

"Crack!!"

The Gold-Eating Ant King's sturdy metal exoskeleton was smashed to pieces by Li Yuan's fist, and the sturdy metal exoskeleton was even embedded into its flesh and blood.

Originally, the Gold-Eating Ant King wanted to turn the tables and regain his position, but he didn't expect that he would end up being the target of constant beatings.

In just one minute, the Gold-Eating Ant King was beaten beyond recognition, and it was completely unrecognizable that this was not what a Gold-Eating Ant King should look like.

Li Yuan's actions did not stop. After smashing the Gold-Eating Ant King away, he immediately rushed over again and continued smashing.

"What do you think? Are you convinced?"

After Li Yuan stopped, he stood in front of the Gold-Eating Ant King and asked. While speaking, he used his Observation Haki to convey his meaning.

Possessing the top level of Observation Haki, he has now mastered the method of using Observation Haki to transmit his voice and will. This is equivalent to a method of transmitting sound over a thousand miles, or a method of communicating with other

creatures. In the words of immortal cultivation, it is equivalent to the transmission of sound through the mind.

"roar!!!"

The gold-eating ant king roared angrily, showing that it was very unconvinced.

"Hey, you still dare not accept it? It seems that you haven't been beaten badly enough!"

Seeing the stubborn temper of the Gold-Eating Ant King, Li Yuan raised his fist and punched it again, knocking it dozens of meters away.

The gold-eating ant king wanted to escape, but its speed was too slow and it couldn't escape at all. The moment it landed, it was punched by Li Yuan and flew in another direction.

It wanted to spread its wings and fly away, but Li Yuan rushed into the sky in one step and knocked it to the ground with one punch.

"Are you convinced?"

Li Yuan started to shout loudly while smashing things.

"roar!!!"

The Gold-Eating Ant King is the King of Beasts after all, there is no way he could be defeated by humans. He has an extremely stubborn temper.

However, no matter how stubborn one is, if he meets a reckless man like Li Yuan, he will be beaten into submission.

Li Yuan beat the Gold-Eating Ant King for fifteen minutes before the Gold-Eating Ant King finally surrendered under his beating.

If Li Yuan hadn't noticed its talent, he would have beaten it to death long ago. Why would he have to beat it for fifteen minutes?

"Hey, you're a good kid if you admit your mistakes and correct them. Seeing how powerful you were before, I'll call you Hermes from now on!"

"Come on, Hermes. I'll take you to treat your injuries."

Li Yuan looked at the gold-eating ant king lying in front of him with great satisfaction. With such strength, he could be a cadre in the Wuji Pirate Group.

Even though he is a beast king, he still cannot stop Li Yuan's desire to recruit him. He is so powerful just by relying on his talent, so if he is trained more, wouldn't he be even stronger?

If it could eat a human fruit, its intelligence would be awakened, and it would become as smart as humans. After training, wouldn't it be another top-level fighting force in the future?

"Roar!!!"

After hearing what Li Yuan said, the Gold-Eating Ant King could only follow Li Yuan silently. Who made it unable to defeat the opponent?

If you can't beat them, surrender. This is the innate belief of beasts in the law of the jungle, and even the beast king must follow it.

"Li Yuan, have you subdued it?"

Yadina looked at the unrecognizable and wounded gold-eating ant king.

She had seen this guy before, and he actually possessed the domineering aura. She didn't expect that he could be subdued by her own husband.

"Of course. Who am I, your husband? It's easy to subdue a beast king."

Li Yuan said with some pride.

"Take out all the metal ore and food on the ship, and find a doctor to treat it."

After returning to the Hastis, Li Yuan asked someone to bring food to Hermes.

The food that the gold-eating ant king eats is metal, and of course it also eats meat. The metal exoskeleton on its body is something that evolved after eating metal ore to protect

itself.

"roar!!!"

After seeing the delicious food and metal ore, Hermes immediately rushed over and ate frantically.

By the time it had eaten its fill, its injuries had largely healed.

Afterwards, the medical staff sprinkled some quick-recovery potion on Hermes and let him drink it. The injuries on Hermes' body healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than an hour, it was fully recovered.

"roar!!!"

After Hermes recovered, he immediately let out a loud roar, as if he was venting the

frustration of being beaten just now.

"What? Are you itching again? Do you want to be beaten again?"

However, just as Hermes roared, he saw Li Yuan standing in front of him with his fist raised.

When he saw Li Yuan, Hermes didn't dare to yell anymore and just shut his mouth.

"Well, not bad, not bad, very good!"

"Don't worry. After you follow me, I will make sure you have enough food to eat every day. I will also teach you to become stronger and take you to see the vast world outside." "The island you are on is just a very small place. The world is very big. You will see more

wonderful worlds in the future!"

Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

Hearing Li Yuan's words, Hermes' eyes seemed to sparkle with brilliance. As the king of beasts, he was smarter than other beasts, so he naturally wanted to see the outside world andNôv(el)B\\jnn

become stronger.

"Let's go to the center of the island and collect the gravity stone of this island."

As he spoke, Li Yuan took Hermes and Yin Wa to the center of the island. Yadina chose to stay on the boat and wait for Li Yuan to come back.

"Gravity stone. This island has this kind of gravity stone that causes the island's gravity to change. I wonder if other gravity islands have the same problem."

Li Yuan looked at the gravity stone in front of him that was like a small hill, most of which had been pushed into the ground and murmured.

"Yinwa, start now. Integrate this gravity stone into your body and you will become stronger."

Li Yuan said that Yin Wa's original form was also gravity stone, but it was turned into Homies by Charlotte Linling.

Homies can also grow, just like Yinwa now. By integrating the same gravity stone as its own

body, it can grow on its own.

"Brother, I'm going to start!"

After Yin Wa finished speaking, he lay directly on the gravity stone and used his own strength

to slowly integrate the gravity stone on the island into his body.

One day later, Yin Wa finally integrated the gravity stone on the island into his body, and it

became stronger.

"Yinwa, how many times can you control gravity?"

Li Yuan asked curiously.

"Brother, I can control 25 times the gravity, and my body has become twice as heavy as

before."

Yin Wa said happily.

"That's good. This mission has been successfully completed. Let's go."

Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

Hermes looked at the home where he had lived for many years. He knew that he would

probably never come back again.

"Why, Hermes, you're reluctant to leave?"

"But don't worry. If you want to come back in the future, I will have someone bring you back."

Li Yuan smiled.

"roar!!!"

After hearing what Li Yuan said, Hermes did not continue to think about anything, but

followed Li Yuan.

"Hermes, this is the devil's fruit. It can make you as smart as a human and give you great

power. Eat it!"

After returning to Onigashima in Wano Country, Li Yuan took out the Human-Human Fruit,

Mythical Beast Species, and the Devil Fruit in the form of Dai-Nyudo that he had treasured for

a long time.

He originally intended to prepare this devil fruit for his own children, but none of the children who were suitable to eat the devil fruit chose it.

As for his three children who have not eaten the devil fruit yet, it will take many years for them to reach the age to eat the devil fruit.

So after seeing Hermes, he planned to take out the human fruit and give it to Hermes.

In the original book, Chopper was just an ordinary animal, but he became so smart and powerful after eating the Everyone Fruit.

Hermes possesses both Armament Haki and Conqueror Haki, and his actual strength is comparable to that of ordinary officers of the Infinite Pirates. With such a powerful talent and strength, plus this mythical beast that can increase its strength limit even higher, he may

become a core officer of the Infinite Pirates like Barrett in the future, or even a vice-captain.

"roar!!!"

After hearing what Li Yuan said, Hermes immediately swallowed the devil fruit, completely swallowing it without even chewing it, swallowing it directly into his stomach to be digested

by gastric juice.

"roar!!!"

Just after eating the devil fruit, Hermes roared, and suddenly he stood up like a human being

instead of being on all fours. His height of nearly eight meters gave people a huge sense of

oppression.

Then many changes occurred to Hermes. Overall, it became more like a human, or a beastman

with a human-like body.

The original claws turned into human hands, but the fingers were still claws. The feet also

changed in a similar way. There were two pairs of metal wings folded behind the back.

The head and face look like a combination of an ant and a human face, which is consistent

with the human-beast form that Chopper transformed into after eating the devil fruit in the original work.

"Captain, what is this?"

After Barrett arrived at Onigashima, he saw the tall and mighty beast standing in front of Li

Yuan. Barrett felt a strong aura from him, which made the warlike Barrett's fists itchy. "Hahahaha, Barrett, this is the new officer of our Promise Pirates, Hermes, the King of

Beasts, the Gold-Eating Ant King, who ate the mythical beast species of the Human-Human

Fruit."

"It just joined the Promise Pirates and just ate the Devil Fruit to transform into a human body.

I asked you to come here so that you can teach it how to use Taijutsu and Haki."

After seeing Barrett coming, Li Yuan introduced Barrett to him.

"Hermes, this is Barrett, your future companion. He will teach you how to become stronger."

Li Yuan said to Hermes.

Hermes is most suitable for learning physical skills. The strongest physical skills in the

Promise Pirates are Barrett and Pepper, but Pepper's physical skills are not suitable for Hermes, so he asked Barrett to come and teach Hermes.

"Hahahahaha, Captain, don't worry, I will definitely teach Hermes well."

Barrett's eyes lit up when he heard Li Yuan's words. Will the Beast King eat everyone's fruit

and give them a mythical beast?

Since the guy who was valued by his captain and given a mythical beast must be very

powerful, Barrett was very interested in this.

"roar!!!"

Although Hermes cannot speak yet, after eating the devil fruit, he seems to have become

smarter. Even if Barrett does not communicate with him using his special observation Haki

like Li Yuan, he can roughly understand what Barrett means.

"Well, you guys should get familiar with each other on Onigashima. I will have someone teach

Hermes how to speak."

Li Yuan said.

Hermes can't speak like Chopper now, but since he has already eaten the Everyone Fruit, it is

only a matter of time for him to learn to speak.

After handing over the teaching of Hermes to Barrett, Li Yuan left Onigashima. It was enough

for Hermes to have Barrett teaching him recently.

Grimaud Island in the West Sea is an island very close to the doldrums in the West Sea, so it is

very remote. There are almost no merchant ships coming here, and there are very few people living on the island, and their lives are poor.

But because of a word from the underground world, Grimaud Island became extremely lively

and prosperous, and a large number of merchant ships came here from all over the West Sea and even from the other three sea areas.

"Have you heard? The Promise Pirates will be trading various goods on Grimaud Island in the West Sea. The goods traded include the Promise Pirates' weapons, medicines, swords and weapons, as well as various scarce goods in the New World."

"How come I haven't heard that now the representatives of the five major mafia groups in the West Sea, merchant ships from various countries, and people from various underground forces in the West Sea have all gone to Grimaud Island in order to purchase enough goods."

"According to the underground forces, the targets of the Promise Pirates' trade are first those with the various resources they need, then those with various treasures and devil fruits, and finally those like us who only have berries. Therefore, it is difficult to get the best goods from

the Promise Pirates with berries alone."

"Oh my god, if that's the case, then isn't it unfair to those of us who have no power?"

"Fair? You must be kidding. There is no such thing as fairness in this world!"

|| ||

In many taverns in the West Sea, people were discussing what was about to happen on

Grimaud Island. That was that the Promise Pirates were going to transport goods through the

doldrums to Grimaud Island for trade.

With the help of the underground world, this news quickly spread throughout the West Sea

and even to the other three seas.

At the same time, the news also reached the ears of the Navy and the World Government.
