Hody Jones's Defeat (1)

Having said that, Straw Hat Luffy didn't hesitate any longer and immediately charged towards Hody Jones. He wasn't going to waste any more words and wanted to kill this bastard right away.

Hody Jones, not intending to fight the Straw Hat Boy, turned and ran outside.

Now, he doesn't need to fight the Straw Hat Boy at all. Once Noah crashes into Fish-Man Island, everything will be settled, and he can easily become the victor.

Therefore, he was too lazy to fight the Straw Hat Boy. Because that would be too much of a waste of time.

"Trying to run? Don't even think about it." Straw Hat Luffy snorted, then immediately sprang into the air, soaring high into the sky and arriving in front of Hody Jones. Without saying a word, he unleashed a flurry of punches on Hody Jones, destroying the bubbles on Hody Jones's body.

Hody Jones was able to take to the air because of that bubble that allowed his body to float. With that bubble, he could fly very high into the sky.

Luffy destroyed the bubbles on Hody Jones, so Hody Jones can no longer fly high into the sky.

He would have to run on his own two legs to get into the sea. However, Noah is so huge that it's impossible for him to run the entire distance while being attacked by Straw Hat Luffy.

Because the Straw Hat Boy won't give him that chance. Before he could act rashly, he was tricked by Hody Jones and suffered a great loss. If he were to be tricked by Hody Jones again, he would be incredibly foolish.

Therefore, the Straw Hat Pirates has already devised a strategy: to destroy Hody Jones's bubbles. That way, he'll have no choice but to fight him head-on.

Noah was now encased in bubbles, completely dry, just like on land. Therefore, he had nothing to worry about and could focus entirely on the fight.

On land, it would be utterly impossible for Hody Jones to defeat him.

"Heh, Hody Jones, behave yourself, you can't escape." The Straw Hat Boy snorted, then punched Hody Jones again. Hody Jones couldn't dodge in time and was hit by the Straw Hat Boy's fist. He was knocked back onto Noah and slammed hard onto the deck.

Luffy landed steadily on Noah. His body is made of rubber, so no matter how high the fall, it wouldn't hurt him.

"Hody Jones, come on!" Luffy chuckled and charged towards Hody Jones.

"Damn it, you damn bastard!" Hody Jones was furious and extremely dissatisfied.

He originally intended to run away and hide for a while. However, the Straw Hat Boy kept a close eye on him this time, preventing him from carrying out his plan.

Therefore, he would have no choice but to fight the Straw Hat Boy.

He had already fought Straw Hat Boy, and he was no match for Straw Hat Boy. Straw Hat Boy was keeping him occupied, putting him under a lot of pressure.

However, he could only grit his teeth and fight Straw Hat Boy now, because Straw Hat Boy wouldn't let him off easily.

"Hmph, you damned bastard," said the Straw Hat Boy. "If you hadn't done this, you might still be alive. But now, you're doomed."

He originally didn't want to get involved in the Fish-Man Island affair, but this madman actually attacked his friend. He couldn't tolerate it, so he had no choice but to intervene.

"I won't die, you can't kill me!" Hody Jones roared madly, then charged towards Straw Hat Luffy, ready to fight Luffy.

He knew there was no way out, so he had no choice but to fight to the death.

Straw Hat Luffy watched, his heart filled with even greater joy. If his opponent didn't run away, he could fight with all his might. If his opponent did escape, it would put him in a difficult position.

Now, he can fight seriously against his opponent.

Hody Jones used karate to fight the Straw Hat Boy. He wasn't very strong to begin with, but after taking drugs that boosted his strength, he became very powerful.

He was far away from Straw Hat Boy, but his karate attack struck Straw Hat Boy directly. Straw Hat Boy was sent flying quite a distance. However, he immediately rushed forward.

"Barrage Gatling!" After rushing back to his original position, Straw Hat Boy swung his fists and kept punching Hody Jones.

His punches were so fast that if you looked closely, you could see a bunch of fists waving around in front of Hody Jones. It was like the Straw Hat Boy had a lot of fists.

Under the Straw Hat Boy's relentless attacks, Hody Jones was forced to retreat repeatedly, making it impossible for him to regain his footing.

"Ah..." The Straw Hat Boy attacked frantically. After resisting for a while, Hody Jones finally couldn't hold on any longer and was sent flying backward, crashing into the room. Many rooms were destroyed by Hody Jones's massive body.

Without waiting, the Straw Hat Boy rushed into the rooms. Once inside, he found Straw Hat Boy Hody Jones and launched another fierce attack.

Hody Jones was a little slow to react, and Luffy used him as a punching bag, hurling him away fiercely.

After being relentlessly attacked by Luffy for a minute, Hody Jones finally snapped. He grabbed a handful of pills, put them in his mouth, and then gulped them down.

This is a handful of blue pills, a large quantity, the exact number unknown to anyone, perhaps even Hody Jones himself.

He was forced into this situation because he had no other choice. His fighting power was no longer as strong as Straw Hat Boy's. If he didn't take these pills to boost his fighting power, he wouldn't be able to last long.

This pill is called the Energy Steroids E.S. It's a powerful pill that can strengthen your body in a short time, giving you tremendous fighting power.

He stole this from the royal palace's treasury. The reason he was able to build a crew in such a short time to fight against Jinbe 'Sun Pirates was because of the help of this Energy Steroids E.S.

Their cadres all carry these pills, but they won't use them against opponents they can defeat. This is because the pills have significant side effects; taking a small amount is always better.

If they encounter a master, then they will take this medicine.

Because of this medicine, many masters are unable to defeat them, and many human masters have also been defeated by them.

This medicine belongs to the royal palace and was originally intended to enhance the combat power of warriors. However, it has significant side effects. Many soldiers who took it, while gaining extraordinary strength for a short period, would immediately weaken if they stopped taking it for a while.

You will turn into an old man in just a few days, which is terrifying.

Therefore, the royal family has already classified this Energy Steroids E.S as a forbidden substance and sealed it away in their treasure vault.

Hody Jones was able to obtain it because he had served in the royal army and took the opportunity to steal the drug. It was at this time that he left the army and stopped serving.

He returned to Fish-Man District and began building his own team.

With the help of the Energy Steroids E.S, his team has grown little by little, and now it has reached 100,000 members.

Without this drug, it would have been impossible for him to achieve such great success.

However, despite Hody Jones's great achievements, the consequences were also obvious. He would ultimately be destroyed by this drug, because it was a banned substance!

The fact that royalty forbids the use of this medicine speaks volumes about its side effects.

He had no other choice but to take this medicine to increase his strength.

After taking the drug, Hody Jones's body grew to twice its original size, making him an even bigger monster. His eyes were bloodshot, like those of a bloodthirsty beast.

He roared, his entire being exuding ferocity, making people afraid to approach him.

"Heh heh, I love this feeling of power, I love it so much." Laughing hysterically, Hody Jones descended into a state of frenzy.

After laughing for a while, he looked at Straw Hat Luffy and said, "Come on, kid, I want to see how you withstand my attack."

After saying that, he immediately took action, heading straight for Straw Hat Luffy. He was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was beside Straw Hat Luffy. Then, he swiftly struck, landing a punch on Luffy's body.

Luffy was sent flying, crashing into the wall of the room. The impact was so great that it smashed a large hole in the wall.

"Heh, that was awesome, Straw Hat Boy, you can die now." Hody Jones clenched his fists, looking extremely satisfied.

Now that he had power, he was no longer afraid of Straw Hat Luffy. He took the initiative and, after arriving at the room, began searching for the Straw Hat Boy's whereabouts.

Once he found Straw Hat Luffy, he launched a fierce attack, giving Luffy no chance to catch his breath.

Luffy didn't let Hody Jones catch him off guard; he immediately dodged away. Once outside, Luffy wiped the corner of his mouth, where red blood was flowing.

"I'm rubber, how can he hurt me? That's strange. He hasn't learned Haki." Luffy looked at the very muscular Hody Jones with great curiosity.

He's like rubber; if his opponent doesn't have a weapon equipped with Seastone, or hasn't Haki, then attacking him with their fists is completely useless.

But now he felt differently. Hody Jones could actually hurt him, and he was certain that the other party hadn't mastered Haki. If the other party had mastered Haki, he would have used it long ago, and definitely wouldn't have waited until now.

Nobody wants to get beaten up, unless they've got their head stuck in a door.

"Forget it, I can't be bothered to think about it. Hmph, no matter how strong you become, I said I would defeat you, and I will." Luffy snorted lightly, his face cold.

Hody Jones's transformation did indeed surprise him, but Luffy would never back down just because of that. He wasn't easily intimidated. He'd even met Marine Admiral; why would he be afraid of a mere Fish-Man?
