Chapter 247 Hermes
I saw the metal wings on its back being retracted into the exoskeleton. From the outside, at least it couldn't be seen that it had two pairs of wings.
"roar!!!"
The gold-devouring ant king rushes in again. It is the king of this island. How can it bear the thought of someone challenging its majesty!
"Hahahahaha, you are still not convinced? Then I will beat you into submission!"
Li Yuan's domineering look clearly felt the unconvinced mood of the gold-eating ant king in front of him. He laughed loudly, raised his fist and smashed it again.
The Gold-Eating Ant King's armed color is very domineering and powerful. Even if it encounters Barrett, it can fight for a while. But when it encounters Li Yuan, even if Li Yuan just uses his pure body, he can easily crush him. This gold-eating ant king.
Li Yuan's fist hit the Gold-Eating Ant King one after another. Although the Gold-Eating Ant King's huge body was very flexible, no matter how flexible it was, it was impossible to dodge Li Yuan's fists.
"Crack!!"
The gold-devouring ant king's solid metal exoskeleton was smashed to pieces under Li Yuan's fist, and the solid metal exoskeleton was even embedded in its flesh and blood.
Originally, the Gold-Eating Ant King was here to make a comeback 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 had been beaten beyond recognition, and it was completely impossible to tell what a Gold-Eating Ant King should look like.
Li Yuan's movements hadn't stopped yet. After smashing the Gold-eating Ant King away, he immediately rushed over and continued to smash it.
"How about it, are you convinced?"
After Li Yuan stopped, he stood in front of the Gold-eating Ant King and asked. When he spoke, he conveyed his meaning with a domineering look.
He has the top level of domineering power of knowledge and color, and now he has mastered the method of transmitting his own voice and will with the color of knowledge and knowledge. This is equivalent to a method of transmitting sounds across thousands of miles, or a method of communicating with other creatures. In the words of cultivating immortals, it is It is equivalent to the transmission of divine consciousness.
"roar!!!"
The gold-eating ant king roared angrily, indicating that it was very unconvinced.
"Oh, you still dare to be unconvinced? It seems that you were beaten hard enough!"
Seeing the stubborn temper of the Gold-Eating Ant King, Li Yuan raised his fist and punched it again, sending it flying dozens of meters with one punch.
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 and punched it to the ground.
"Are you convinced?"
Li Yuan yelled loudly while smashing it back.
"roar!!!"
The Gold-Eating Ant King is a beast king no matter what, how could he be defeated by humans? He has such a stubborn temper.
However, no matter how stubborn his temper is when faced with a reckless man like Li Yuan, he can only be beaten into submission.
Li Yuan beat the Gold-Eating Ant King for a full fifteen minutes before the Gold-Eating Ant King succumbed to the training of this punch.
If Li Yuan hadn't taken a fancy to its talent, he would have killed it long ago. Did he still need to fight it for fifteen minutes?
"Hey, if you realize your mistake, change it and become a good boy. Seeing how powerful you were before, I will call you Hermes from now on!"
"Come on Hermes, I will take you to treat your physical injuries."
Li Yuan looked at the gold-eating ant king lying in front of him with great satisfaction. With such strength, he could become a cadre in the Wuji Pirates.
Even if he is a beast king, he still can't stop Li Yuan's desire to recruit. He is so powerful just by relying on his talent. Wouldn't he be stronger if he trained again?
If one could eat the Renren Fruit, open its intelligence and become as smart as a human being, after training, wouldn't it be another top combat power in the future?
"roar!!!"
When the Gold-Eating Ant King heard Li Yuan's words, he could only silently follow Li Yuan. Who could make him unable to defeat him?
Surrender if you can't beat them. This is the natural belief carried by beasts in the law of the jungle. Even the beast king must follow it.
"Li Yuan, have you conquered it?"
Yadina looked at the gold-eating ant king who was completely changed beyond recognition and covered with injuries.
She had seen this guy before, and he actually had a domineering aura. She didn't expect that he could be subdued by her husband.
"Of course, who am I, your husband? Isn't it easy to conquer a beast king?"
Li Yuan said with some pride.
"Bring me all the metal ores and food on the ship, and find a doctor to treat it."
After returning to the Hasdis Hades, Li Yuan will ask 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 evolved to protect itself after eating metal ores.
"roar!!!"
After seeing the delicious food and metal ore, Hermes immediately pounced on them and started eating crazily.
By the time it had eaten its fill, the injuries on its body had recovered a lot.
Then the medical staff sprinkled some quick-recovery potions on Hermes and let him eat it. Hermes' injuries healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In less than an hour, it completely recovered.
"roar!!!"
After Hermes recovered, he immediately roared, seemingly venting the frustration of being beaten just now.
"What? Your skin is itchy 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.
Seeing Li Yuan, Hermes didn't dare to yell and simply closed his mouth.
"Well, not bad, not bad, very good!"
"Don't worry. After you follow me, I will feed you 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 light. He was the king of beasts, and his intelligence was higher than other beasts. Naturally, he wanted to see the outside world and become stronger.
"Let's go to the center of the island and collect the island's gravity stones."
With that said, Li Yuan took Hermes and Yin Wa towards the center of the island. Yadina chose to stay on the boat and wait for Li Yuan to come back.
"Gravity stone, it is this kind of gravity stone on this island that changes the island's gravity. I don't know if it is the same on other gravity islands."
Li Yuan looked at the hill-like gravity stone in front of him and murmured as most of it was taken underground.
"Yin Wa, let's start. Integrate this gravity stone into your body and you will become stronger." Li Yuan said. Yin Wa's body is also a gravity stone, but it was made into a Huo Huo stone by Charlotte Lingling. Miz.
Homitz can also grow, just like the current Yinwa, it can grow by itself if it is integrated into the same gravity stone as its body.
"Brother, brother, let me start!"
After Yin Wa finished speaking, she lay directly on the gravity stone and used her own strength to slowly integrate the gravity stone on the island into her body.
One day later, Yin Wa finally integrated the gravity stone on the island into her body, and it became stronger.
"Yin Wa, 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 stayed for many years, knowing that once he left, he would probably never come back again.
"What, Hermes, are you reluctant to leave?"
"But you don't have to worry. If you want to come back in the future, I will have someone take you back."
Li Yuan smiled.
"roar!!!"
After hearing what Li Yuan said, Hermes did not continue to remember anything, but followed Li Yuan away.
"Hermes, this is a devil fruit. It can make you as smart as a human and powerful. Eat it!"
After returning to Onigashima in Wano Country, Li Yuan took out the Devil Fruit in the form of the Renren Fruit, Phantom Beast Species, and Great Entrance Form that he had treasured for a long time.
He originally planned to prepare this Devil Fruit for his children, but none of the children who were suitable to eat Devil Fruit chose it.
As for his three children who have not yet eaten Devil Fruits, it will take many years before they reach the age to eat Devil Fruits.
So after seeing Hermes, he planned to take out the Everyone Fruit and give it to Hermes.
In the original work, Chopper is just an ordinary animal who becomes so smart and powerful after eating the Everyone Fruit.
Hermes possesses Armed Color Haki and Overlord Color Haki, and his physical strength is already comparable to ordinary cadres of the Wuji Pirates. With such a powerful natural strength, coupled with this everyone who can make the upper limit of his strength even higher The fruit phantom beast species may be able to become the core cadre of the Promise Pirates like Barrett in the future, and may even be the vice-captain.
"roar!!!"
After hearing Li Yuan's words, Hermes immediately swallowed the devil fruit. He really swallowed it completely. He didn't even need to chew it. He swallowed it directly into his belly and digested it with gastric juice.
"roar!!!"
Just after eating the Devil Fruit, Hermes roared, and it suddenly stood up like a human being, who was originally on all fours. The height of almost eight meters gave people a huge sense of oppression.
Immediately afterwards, many changes occurred in Hermes. Overall, it became more like a human, or it had an orc body like a human.
The original sharp claws turned into like human palms, but the fingers still looked like sharp claws. The changes on the feet were similar, and the two pairs of metal wings were folded behind the back.
The head and face look like a combination of an ant and a human face, which is very consistent with the human-animal form that Chopper transformed into after eating the Devil Fruit in the original work.
"Captain, what is this?"
After Barrett came to Ghost Island, he saw the tall and powerful human-animal body standing in front of Li Yuan. Barrett felt a powerful aura on his body, which made the bellicose Barrett's fists itch. .
"Hahahaha, Barrett, this is the new leader of our Promise Pirates, Hermes, the king of beasts who eats the phantom beast species of the Human Fruit, the Gold-Eating Ant King."
"It has just joined the Wuju Pirates, and it has just eaten the Devil Fruit and transformed into a human body. I asked you to come here because I want you to teach it how to use Taijutsu and Haki."
After seeing Barrett coming, Li Yuan introduced him to Barrett.
"Hermes, this is Barrett, your future companion. During the next period of time, he will teach you to become stronger."
Li Yuan said to Hermes.
Hermes is the most suitable person to learn physical skills. The strongest ones in the Wuju Pirates are Barrett and Qingjiao, but Qingjiao’s physical skills are not suitable for Hermes, so he asked Barrett to teach Hermes. Moss.
"Hahahahaha, captain, don't worry, I will teach Hermes well."
After hearing Li Yuan's words, Barrett's eyes suddenly lit up. Will the Beast King eat the human fruit and the phantom beast species?
Since the guy who was given the phantom beast species could be valued by his own captain, he must be very powerful, and Barrett was very interested in this.
"roar!!!"
Although Hermes can't speak now, he seems to have become smarter after eating the Devil Fruit. Even if Barret doesn't communicate with him in a special way like Li Yuan, he can roughly understand Barret. Leiter means.
"Well, you can get familiar with it on Ghost Island. Then I will have someone teach Hermes how to speak."
Li Yuan said.
Hermes can't speak like Chopper now, but it's only a matter of time for Hermes, who has eaten the Everyone Fruit, to learn to speak.
Li Yuan left Ghost Island after handing over the teaching of Hermes to Barrett. Recently, it was enough for Barrett to teach Hermes.
Grimmauld Island in the West Sea is an island very close to the windless zone in the West Sea, so it is very remote. There are almost no merchant ships coming here. Moreover, there are very few people living on the island and their lives are poor.
But Grimmauld Island, because of a word from the underground world, made this remote island extremely lively and prosperous, and a large number of merchant ships came here from all over the West Sea and even merchant ships from the other three sea areas.
"Have you heard? The Promise Pirates are going to trade various commodities on Grimmauld Island in the Western Sea. The commodities traded include the Promise Pirates' arms, medicines, swords and weapons, as well as various rare commodities in the New World."
"Why haven't you heard that representatives of the five major mafias in the West Sea, merchant ships from various countries, and people from various underground forces in the West Sea are all heading to Grimmauld Island in order to purchase enough goods."
"There is news from the underground forces that the Wuji Pirates' trading partners are first of all those forces that possess the various resources needed by the Wuji Pirates, then the forces that use various treasures and devil fruits to trade, and finally we are This kind of person only has Bailey, so if you want to get the best goods from the Wuji Pirates, it is already difficult to buy them with Bailey alone.”
"I'll go, if that's the case, wouldn't it be fair to those of us who have no power?"
"Fair? Are you kidding? There is no fairness in this world!"
"."
In taverns in many places in the Western Sea, people are discussing what is about to happen on Grimmauld Island, that is, the Infinite Pirates will transport goods to Grimmauld Island through the Windless Belt for trade.
With the help of the underground world, this news quickly spread throughout the entire Western Sea, and even spread to the other three sea areas.
At the same time, it also reached the ears of the Navy and the World Government.
