New World Sea Area
The sun hung high in the sky, a tear in the clouds. The sea churned violently. A pirate transport ship, like a steel monster, charged forward like a wild bull, kicking up monstrous waves.
On the transport ship, a pirate lookout stumbled onto the deck, his face pale. "Boss Jack! There's a warship ahead, it's the Marines!!"
In the center of the deck, on a specially made giant iron chair, Jack, who was only eighteen but already six meters tall, sat with his legs spread, his expression cold, like an unawakened giant beast. His knuckles tapped the armrest, each tap as heavy as a drumbeat.
Hearing the report, he slowly opened his blood-red eyes, his brow slightly raised. "The Marines?" he grinned, revealing his sharp fangs, his voice low but oppressive. "Oh? There's actually a warship in these waters that dares to loiter in front of me?"
Jack suddenly stood up. His six-meter-plus body was like a moving iron tower. He casually grabbed the two scythe-like giant weapons that were leaning against the ivory decoration, their blades glinting coldly in the sunlight. He strode to the bow, snatched the telescope, and narrowed his eyes to look ahead.
"Did you get a good look? Who's on the ship?" his voice rumbled like thunder.
The lookout trembled. "There's a young Marine in a Rear Admiral's uniform at the bow, and a female Marine in a pink dress next to him? I've never seen them... I don't recognize them..."
"A young Rear Admiral? A female Marine?" Jack narrowed his eyes in thought for a moment, then burst into a deafening laugh. "Hahahaha! A wet-behind-the-ears Rear Admiral and a woman? Are the Marines here for a comedy show?!" He crossed his two swords in front of his chest, his tone extremely contemptuous. "Today, I'll use their heads as an 'appetizer' for Lord Kaido!"
Jack suddenly pointed his sword at the warship. "Bring the ship over! You think two young Marines can beat me?"
"Yes, sir!!!" The pirate transport ship charged forward like a raging bull, its engine roaring, its cannons all firing, the entire vessel like a ferocious beast baring its fangs and claws.
Marine Warship, Bow
The wind howled, but the warship was as steady as a rock, standing quietly on the sea. Roy and Gion stood side-by-side, looking at the pirate transport ship that was pressing down on them like a mountain. The sea reflected the cold light of the ivory bow and the metal blades, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
Gion gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, her tone laced with a hint of teasing. "Well, well~ Are pirates so brave these days?"
"They see a Marine ship and not only do they not run, they charge straight at us?"
Roy didn't speak, but his brow twitched as he watched the tall figure step out from the bow of the opposing ship. A ponytail and two braids, a metal jaw, and two ivory-like decorations on his head and shoulders. He wore spiky studs, a fur coat, and used two shotel-like weapons... that familiar, headache-inducing silhouette.
"The King of Docking, Jack..." Three dark lines appeared on his face, his expression clearly becoming complicated. "That reckless fool who dared to attack four warships carrying a Marine Admiral, a former Fleet Admiral, and a Vice Admiral and Great Staff Officer, he actually debuted this early?"
Gion noticed the change in his expression. "You know him?"
"You could say that..." Roy sighed, his gaze turning cold. "Sister Gion, I'll be right back." He flicked his cape, his feet leaving the bow, his figure becoming a blur as he vanished from the spot.
"SWISH!!" The air exploded, and the deck trembled.
Gion gently held the hilt of her sword, watching him disappear, a slight smile on her lips. "I can't do anything with you... don't take too long."
At the same time, on the deck of the transport ship
"For the glory of Boss Jack!! Crush the Marines!!" The pirates raised their arms and cheered, as if victory were already in their grasp. Jack stood at the bow, his killing intent boiling, his two swords crossed, his presence overwhelming.
However, the next instant—
"THUD!!"
A sound like a meteor falling exploded, and a violent wave of air descended from the sky. The entire transport ship trembled violently. The impact sent the entire wooden planking flying, and the pirates scattered in a panic, the entire ship almost capsizing.
In the center of the deck, a black shadow, like a divine soldier descending from the heavens, tore through the air and landed heavily between Jack and his subordinates. In the smoke and storm, the young Marine slowly stood up, one hand in his pocket, his gaze as calm as frost. It was the same young Rear Admiral who had been at the bow of the Marine ship just now—Roy.
"So you're Jack?"
Jack took two steps back, his eyes fixed on this young man who had suddenly appeared and whose presence was overwhelming. "He crossed such a long distance in an instant?" Besides Lord Kaido, he had never felt such pressure. The other person was clearly just a Marine Rear Admiral, but it was as if he could see through everything.
"Hmph! Good that you're here!" He forced himself to calm down and roared, charging out like a mammoth. "Let me see if you're worthy of dying at my hands!!"
Roy stood on the shattered deck, the hem of his Marine cape fluttering in the sea breeze. He looked at the future "Drought" charging at him and sighed helplessly. "So reckless."
"Don't look down on me!" Jack roared in a rage, his six-meter-plus body as if a beast had awakened, his shoulders shaking, his muscles bulging, his fighting spirit exploding. He suddenly swung his hands down, and the two shotel blades, like two black crescents, cut through the sky, aiming straight for Roy's head with a piercing whistle.
"Swish!" The figure under the blades instantly distorted and dissipated. It was just an afterimage.
"What?!" Jack's pupils constricted.
The next instant, a fist wrapped in thick Armament Haki appeared in his vision, smashing into Jack's arrogant mouth like a cannonball.
"BANG!"
The first punch hit him square in the face. With a crisp sound, his proud and ferocious fangs, along with his nasal bone and upper jaw, shattered. Teeth flew, and blood and foam sprayed everywhere. His head was thrown back violently, and blood and saliva mixed with shattered teeth sprayed out several meters. His entire face instantly collapsed and twisted.
The first punch broke his "arrogant mouth."
"Uwaaahhh—"
Before Jack could recover from the first blow, the second punch had already arrived like a black, ghostly shadow. Roy's left fist suddenly came down, like a battle-axe splitting a mountain, and slammed hard into Jack's left knee.
"CRACK!!!"
The sound of bone breaking was crisp and piercing. Jack's knee collapsed under this devastating blow, his kneecap shattering into pieces, his joint dislocating. A sickening sound of bone cracking rang out. Jack was struck as if by lightning and fell to one knee, his giant body sinking with a "thud." His knees crushed the deck, creating two deep pits.
The second punch broke his "escape leg."
"Ugh, uwaaahhh—!!" Jack roared in pain, his blood-red eyes filled with blood, but before he could react, the third punch had already arrived.
No wind-up, no roar—just a straight punch, like a falling meteor, that slammed into his lower abdomen. This punch was not flashy, not loud, but it was as heavy as an iron hammer crushing the seabed.
"THUD!!!"
With just a dull thud, Jack's abdomen caved in several inches like a dented iron plate, his abdominal muscles collapsing like paper. A violent shockwave exploded from his spine, his muscles churning, his spine shaking violently.
"Ugh—" He suddenly coughed up a large amount of blood, his eyes rolling back. His massive body crashed through the rear cabin wall, crushing the steel and wood structure, leaving a deep trail of destruction, as if he had been hit by a meteor, the entire stern caving in.
"BOOM!!!"
The entire transport ship's rear cabin structure shook violently. A corner even collapsed directly, and rolling dust and wood splinters flew everywhere. Those blood-red eyes were rolled back, and he had completely lost consciousness. If Roy had not held back slightly on the third punch, Jack would have been sent straight through the entire transport ship and into the sea.
The entire deck instantly fell into a dead silence. The battle had only taken three punches.
One punch to the mouth, breaking his arrogant mouth.
One punch to the leg, breaking his escape route.
One punch to the abdomen, destroying his proud body.
The King of Docking, Jack, the youngest of the Beast Pirates' three Calamity candidates, was directly hammered into the bottom of the ship and knocked unconscious, without even being able to fully deploy his Armament Haki.
In that moment, the minds of all the pirates on the transport ship went blank, as if they had personally witnessed a ferocious beast being instantly slain by a sharp sword. The pirates' movements froze, their mouths open in an 'O' shape, their eyes bulging, their jaws on the floor. No one dared to blink. Their proud "future strongest combatant," Jack... hadn't even lasted three punches!!!
Someone's Adam's apple bobbed, and they realized a faint sound was coming from their mouth. "Is-is-is he even human..."
"H-How is that possible—"
"Boss Jack just... just like that...!!!"
Roy stood at the edge of the cracked deck, shook his fist, and said lightly, "Not very durable." He stomped his foot, and the broken plank shattered, the entire ship trembling as if its spine had been broken. He turned and looked at the group of pirates. "Don't play dead. Those who want to surrender, surrender quickly."
With a flash, he brought a group of Marine soldiers. "The people are yours. Tie up the living. Those who resist, kill them on the spot." He looked down in the direction where Jack was lying and added, "Especially this idiot. Add three layers of Seastone chains."
On the warship that was approaching the transport ship, Gion was holding the deck railing, her eyes flowing. She looked at the transport ship that had been charging so aggressively just now but was now as if a corner had collapsed, and then at Roy's figure leisurely strolling back. She gently covered her mouth, her smile gentle. "Really, he said he'd be 'right back,' but he still didn't forget to knock the guy into the cabin."
