Three Punches Shattered His Dream of Boarding

New World Seas

Under the blazing sun, a gap was torn in the clouds, and the sea churned violently. A Pirate transport ship, resembling a steel monster, charged like a raging bull, creating towering waves.

On the transport ship, a Pirate sentry stumbled onto the deck, his face pale. "Boss Jack! There's a Warship ahead, it's a Navy ship!!"

In the center of the deck, on a specially made, enormous iron chair, sat Jack, who was only eighteen years old but already six meters tall, with his legs spread apart, his expression cold and stern, like a giant beast that had not yet been awakened.

His knuckles tapped lightly on the armrest, each tap as heavy as a drumbeat.

Upon hearing the report, he slowly opened his scarlet eyes, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"Navy?"

He grinned, revealing sharp fangs, his voice deep and menacing. "Oh? There are actually Warships daring to loiter in front of me in this sea area?"

Jack suddenly stood up, his six-meter-tall body resembling a moving iron tower. He casually grabbed two massive, scythe-shaped weapons leaning against the ivory ornament, their blades gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

He strode to the bow of the ship, snatched the binoculars, and squinted to examine what lay ahead.

"Did you see clearly? Who's on the boat?" His voice was like a rumbling thunder.

The sentry trembled. "There's a young navy officer in Rear Admiral's uniform at the bow, and a female navy officer in pink next to him? Never seen her before... don't recognize her..."

"A young Rear Admiral? A female navy officer?"

Jack squinted and thought for a moment, then suddenly burst into a deafening laugh, "Ha! A greenhorn Rear Admiral and a woman?"

He crossed his twin swords in front of his chest, his tone utterly disdainful. "Is this some kind of slapstick comedy from the Navy?!"

"I'll use their heads as an 'appetizer' for Boss Kaido today!"

Jack swung his knife sharply towards the Warship: "Move the ship closer! Do you think two mere young sailors can beat me?"

"Yes!!"

The Pirate transport ship charged forward like a charging bull, its engines roaring, cannons firing, and the entire ship bursting forth like a ferocious beast baring its fangs and claws!

Marine warship - bow

The sea breeze howled, but the Warships remained as steady as rocks, standing silently on the sea.

Roy and Gion stood side by side, gazing at the Pirate transport ship looming ahead like a mountain.

The ivory bow and the cold gleam of the metal blades were reflected on the sea surface, creating a sense of oppression.

Gion gently smoothed her wind-blown hair, her tone slightly teasing. "Wow~ Are all Pirates this brave these days?"

"They're not even running away from the navy when they see a transport ship, they're just charging straight at us?"

Roy didn't speak, but his brow twitched as he watched the tall figure opposite him step out from the bow of the ship.

She had a ponytail and two braids, a metal jaw on her mouth, and two ivory-shaped ornaments on her head and shoulders.

Studded with sharp spikes, clad in a fur coat, wielding two Schottky-knife-like weapons... that familiar, unsettling silhouette.

"Docking King Jack..."

Three dark lines appeared on his face, and his expression clearly became complicated.

"That reckless man who dared to attack without hesitation against four Warships carrying Marine Admiral Fujitora, former Fleet Admiral Sengoku, and Vice Admiral Tsuru Marine Vice Admiral, has actually debuted so early?"

Gion noticed the change in his expression. "You know him?"

"I suppose so..." Roy sighed, his gaze turning slightly cold.

"Gion, I'll be right back."

With a flick of his cloak, he stepped off the bow of the ship, his figure vanishing from the spot like a phantom.

"Whoosh!!"

The air exploded, and the deck trembled.

Gion lightly gripped the hilt of her sword, watching him disappear in the direction he went, a slight smile playing on her lips, "I just can't do anything with you... Don't play around for too long, okay?"

Simultaneously, transport ship deck

"Crown Jack!! Defeat the Navy!!"

The Pirates raised their arms and shouted, as if victory was already in their grasp.

Jack stood at the bow of the ship, his entire body radiating murderous intent, his twin swords crossed, his aura overwhelming!

However, the next moment-

"Thump!!"

A deafening roar, like a meteorite falling, exploded out, and a violent shockwave descended from the sky, causing the entire transport ship to tremble violently!

The Impact ripped the entire plank off its surface, the Pirates screamed and scattered, and the whole ship was nearly capsized!

In the center of the deck, a dark figure descended like a divine warrior, Sky Splitter and crashing heavily between Jack and his men!

Amidst the smoke and storm, the young navy man slowly rose, one hand in his pocket, his gaze calm and icy.

It was none other than that young Rear Admiral, Roy, who had just been on the Warship!

"You're Jack?"

Jack abruptly took two steps back, his eyes fixed on the young man who had suddenly appeared and whose aura was overwhelming.

"They covered such a long distance in an instant?"

Aside from Kaido, he had never felt such pressure before. The other party was clearly just a Marine Rear Admiral, yet he seemed to see through everything.

"Hmph! Just in time!"

He forced himself to stay calm, roared, and charged forward like Mammoth, "Let me see if you deserve to die by my hand!!"

Roy stood on the shattered deck, the hem of his navy cloak Hunting Roar in the sea breeze.

He watched as this reckless man, destined to be known as the "Drought," charged towards him, and sighed helplessly, "He truly doesn't know his own limitations."

"Don't look down on me!"

Jack roared in fury, his six-meter-tall frame surging like Beast, his shoulders trembling, muscles bulging, his fighting spirit bursting forth!

He swung his hands down suddenly, and the two Shorter knives, like two black crescent moons, slashed down through the sky with Sky Splitter shriek, their target Roy's head!

"Whoosh!"

The figure beneath the blade twisted and vanished instantly, leaving only an afterimage!

"What?!" Jack's pupils constricted!

The next instant, a fist wrapped in intense Armament Haki appeared in his field of vision and slammed into Jack's arrogant mouth like a cannonball!

"Bang!"

The first punch landed squarely on the face!

With a sharp crack, his proud and ferocious fangs, along with his nose and upper jaw, shattered!

Teeth shattered and flew everywhere, blood and foam splattered!

His head snapped back, and blood mixed with saliva and broken teeth sprayed several meters away, his entire face instantly collapsing and contorting!

The first punch silenced his arrogant words!

"Ughhh--" Before Jack could recover from the first blow, the second punch came hurtling down like a phantom!

Roy's left fist suddenly slammed down, like a battle axe splitting a mountain, and smashed hard into Jack's left knee!

"Snap!!"

The sound of bone cracking was crisp and piercing!

Jack's knee collapsed in the devastating blow, his kneecap shattered into pieces, and his joint dislocated!

A sickening cracking sound rang out, and Jack was struck dumb, falling to one knee as his massive body slumped to the ground!

The mountain-like body crashed to its knees, its knees crushing the deck and creating two deep craters!

The second punch severed his "escape leg"!

"Ugh, ugh--!" Jack roared in pain, his bloodshot eyes filled with crimson blood, but before he could react, the third punch had already landed!

No charging up, no roar --

A straight punch, as swift as a falling meteor, struck him squarely in the abdomen!

This punch was neither fancy nor loud, yet it was as heavy as an iron hammer that could crush the seabed!

"Thump!!"

With a dull thud, Jack's abdomen caved in several inches, like a dented iron plate, his abdominal muscles collapsing as if made of paper!

A violent Shockwave exploded from his back, causing his muscles to churn and his spine to vibrate violently!

"Uh-huh--"

He suddenly vomited a large amount of blood, his eyes rolled back, and his massive body crashed through the stern bulkhead, crushing the steel and wood structure, leaving a deep trail of destruction along the way. As if struck by a meteorite, the entire stern caved in!

"Boom!!"

The entire aft compartment of the transport ship shook violently, with one corner even collapsing completely, sending billowing smoke and flying debris!

Those scarlet eyes rolled back, and he completely lost consciousness.

If Roy hadn't slightly lowered his grip on his third punch, Jack would have pierced through the entire transport ship and plunged into the sea.

The entire deck fell into a deathly silence.

The fight took only three punches.

One punch to the mouth, shutting up his arrogant words!

One punch to the leg, cutting off his escape route!

One punch to the abdomen, shattering his proud spirit!

Jack, the Docking King and the youngest prospective member of the Beasts Pirates' All-Stars, was hammered into the hull and knocked unconscious, unable to even fully activate his Armament Haki!

At that moment, the minds of all the Pirates on the transport ship went blank, as if they were watching a ferocious beast being Instant Slash a sharp sword.

The Pirates froze, their mouths agape in an "O" shape, their eyes bulging, their jaws drooping to the floor; no one dared to blink.

Their proudest "future strongest fighter," Jack...

He couldn't even withstand three punches!!

Someone's Adam's apple bobbed as they realized they were uttering a weak sound, "This... this... is this even human...?"

"H-How is this possible?!"

"Boss Jack just... just like that...!!"

Roy stood at the edge of the cracked deck, shook his fist, and said calmly, "Too weak."

With a stomp, planks shattered, and the entire ship shuddered as if its spine had been snapped.

He turned around and looked at the group of Pirates. "Stop playing dead, those who should surrender, surrender now!"

A group of naval soldiers appeared in a flash. "The men are yours. Tie up the survivors, and kill any who resist."

He glanced down at the direction Jack was lying and added, "Especially that idiot, with three layers of Seastone chains."

On the Warship that was heading towards the transport ship, Gion leaned against the deck railing, her eyes darting around.

She watched the transport ship that had been charging in aggressively just moments before, now appearing as if a corner of it had collapsed, and then watched Roy leisurely stroll back.

She gently covered her mouth, her smile gentle, "Honestly, you clearly said 'I'd be right back,' but you still didn't forget to throw me into the cabin."
