Jinbe the Knight of the Sea went all-out.
Even deep within Fish-Man Island, his explosive strength burst out in every direction. The shockwaves were so intense that nearby Fishmen and mermaids scattered in panic.
Prince Shark-Star's face darkened. He quickly signaled the royal guards to fall back.
"Five Thousand Tile True Punch!"
A single punch with the raw force to smash through five thousand layered tiles!
But Chiyu didn't back down.
Instead of dodging, he rushed straight in.
No Devil Fruit. No tricks. Just pure, raw martial arts.
"Rokushiki Secret Technique…"
"Iron-Finger Fist!"
A technique Chiyu created after mastering all six styles of the Navy's combat arts—combining the defense of Iron Body and the pinpoint force of Finger Gun, all packed into one devastating full-fist strike.
BOOM!
Their fists collided with a deafening impact that shook the entire island.
A powerful shockwave rippled out, shaking the giant air bubble surrounding Fish-Man Island.
This artificial air came from the Sunlight Tree Eve, which transports air from the surface and allows full circulation through floating bubbles. The tree even channels sunlight from the surface to keep the island bright and vibrant—despite being 10,000 meters under the sea.
But now, that entire bubble trembled from their clash.
Jinbe grinned. "Not bad!"
"Fish-Man Karate! Sharkskin Palm Block!"
A precise technique that shifts stance and launches a brutal upward counter using leg power—clean, fast, and absolutely explosive.
Chiyu responded with a downward Rankyaku slash.
The two collided again—fist versus kick—in another explosive impact.
The brawl escalated fast.
They were up close, no room to breathe, and every clash sent violent bursts of air blasting through the island.
"Fish-Man Karate! Seven Thousand Tile Roundhouse Kick!"
Jinbe's massive body moved with shocking agility, spinning into a devastating roundhouse aimed at Chiyu's ribs.
Chiyu blocked with both arms, power gathering in his elbows, then launched a sharp counterstrike.
BOOM!
Jinbe tensed. He raised both arms, coating them in Armament Haki—jet black, solid as steel.
"Plum Blossom Skin!"
He used it to defend against Chiyu's lightning-fast leg slash.
Then, pouring more power into his Haki, Jinbe went on the offensive.
"Fish-Man Karate! Rough Shark!"
A savage joint-lock technique boosted by Haki—brutal, surgical, and bone-crushing.
Chiyu just smirked.
In a flash, he drew his blade—Shusui, the treasured black katana of Wano.
It gleamed dangerously, wrapped in Haki, and sliced out a violent arc.
Their blades of Haki clashed and sent both men flying backward.
Jinbe was breathing hard now, face tight.
"So regular moves won't cut it…"
"Then take this—my strongest move!"
"Fish-Man Karate Ultimate Art—BURAIKAN!!!"
His ultimate trump card—
The same technique that nearly crippled the giant Wadatsumi and knocked Big Mom, with her steel-hard skin, flying like a ragdoll.
It fused the essence of Fish-Man Karate with water flow—piercing a body from the inside out.
If this landed, even the toughest wouldn't survive.
Jinbe roared. A single water droplet spun wildly in his palm, infused with Haki.
Then, fist charged with water energy, he rocketed toward Chiyu.
One hit, and not even Iron Body or Haki could save someone.
The organs would be shredded from the inside.
Even Chiyu's lightning-based Logia powers couldn't fully tank it.
But—Chiyu didn't defend.
He struck first.
Pouring in his entire arsenal—taijutsu, kenjutsu, ninjutsu, chakra, Devil Fruit, Rokushiki, and Uchiha-style swordsmanship—he unleashed one overwhelming blow:
"Raijin Rokuōgun!!" (Thunder God: Six-King Spear!)
Their ultimate moves collided.
Black lightning exploded through the air like cracks in space.
Shockwaves blasted outwards, nearly tearing apart the entire protective bubble.
Spectators were thrown back like leaves in a storm—some weaker Fishmen and mermaids were launched hundreds of meters away!
Under the crushing force, Jinbe coughed up a mouthful of blood.
His huge body flew backward and slammed into a massive boulder, shattering it on impact.
Chiyu?
Didn't move an inch.
No question.
The fight was over.
"Jinbe!"
Prince Fukaboshi ran over in panic.
But Jinbe shook his head and struggled to stand.
"He's... insanely strong..."
"No doubt about it. That's Uchiha Chiyu—Navy's God of Slaughter"
"I lost. And I accept that completely."
Chiyu stood still, but inside, he was surprised. That last attack…
It was stronger than anything he'd ever done before.
Could it be…?
Jinbe sensed it too.
"That pressure just now... that overwhelming aura… You have Conqueror's Haki, don't you?"
Of course, he did.
Back in the Naruto world, Chiyu wasn't just some elite ninja—he was the god of the shinobi world.
Compared to that, Conqueror's Haki was just a basic feature.
He figured the power began awakening the moment he killed a Celestial Dragon and severed ties with the Navy and World Government.
It made sense.
Before that, he was just a powerful pawn.
Now? He was a true king—answering to no one, radiating supreme authority.
Even the three Marine Admirals—monsters of Observation and Armament Haki—didn't have Conqueror's Haki.
Because none of them were true kings.
But now, Chiyu felt it stirring inside him.
He didn't say a word.
But Jinbe already understood.
He sighed.
"So that's how it is…"
"Then it's only right I lost to you."
"Do whatever you want with me."
Hina's eyes widened. "Conqueror's Haki?! Then Chiyu-sama really is… born to rule…"
"…But it's still only just beginning. He hasn't fully awakened it yet."
Nami, Franky, and the others had felt it too—that soul-piercing pressure in the moment of impact.
They didn't fully understand it, but they could feel it.
Now, everyone—on the Uchiha flagship and among Fish-Man Island's troops—turned to face Chiyu.
Waiting for his judgment.
He spoke calmly:
"Jinbe, even if you're a pirate… I won't kill you."
Jinbe froze.
"…You— I get it."
Chiyu didn't state his terms, but Jinbe understood perfectly:
Let them go.
Even if it meant Fish-Man Island might face retaliation from the World Government.
But he and Prince Fukaboshi exchanged a look.
Truth was, Chiyu alone could destroy the island if he wanted.
It wasn't a real choice.
"Uchiha Chiyu… a bet's a bet. I lost. I won't stop you."
"Go. Fish-Man Island won't interfere."
"And if the Government comes for us… so be it. I've done all I could."
The prince and others nodded silently.
Chiyu gave a single hand gesture.
The Uchiha ship began preparations to set sail—heading toward the real New World.
But just then—
A massive quake hit.
From the direction of Ryugu Palace!
Fukaboshi paled.
"That's—Ryugu Palace?! No way…!"
Jinbe's expression hardened.
"We don't know who it is—but something's wrong. Let's move!"
Wounded or not, he sprinted off with the prince and guards in tow.
Hina frowned.
"Could it be… the Navy? Or World Government already retaliating?"
"…That would be fast," she muttered.
Everyone looked uneasy.
Chiyu said flatly:
"It's not our concern."
But then he sighed.
Seeing Hina and Nami's faces, he shook his head slightly.
"…Fine. We're free now, aren't we?"
"We live as we choose."
"Let's go see for ourselves."
Hina and Nami lit up. "Yes, Chiyu-sama!"
Franky chuckled.
"Ryugu Palace? Oh, I'm in. But what I really want is the Sunlight Tree Eve… That stuff's the holy grail of shipbuilding!"
Chiyu knew exactly what he meant:
Pluton.
And nearby, inside Ryugu Palace… was Poseidon—the mermaid princess Shirahoshi.
Pluton and Poseidon—two of the three ancient weapons… both within reach.
Chiyu's eyes narrowed.
Could this really be…
Destiny?
