The Strong's Blade

On the sea, or rather on the ice, a battle between pirates and the navy was also taking place.

Jack has transformed into his mammoth-man form.

"Water Shot!"

Moisture seeped from his palm, condensing into a small ball of water, which he then casually flicked away.

It was just a small swarm of water, but at this moment it burst forth with astonishing power like a cannonball, directly piercing through the swarming ranks of the navy and penetrating a large number of them.

"Oh, looks like you've practiced quite well, Fish-Man Karate."

Maria, who had also transformed into Spider Woman, smiled and said...

Although she was smiling, her movements didn't stop at all; with each swing of her massive Wheel-Entering Monk, a group of marines were blasted into the sky.

At the same time, the mouth on her stomach was spraying out thick white spider silk, which entangled a large number of marines, rendering them unable to resist.

"That's Fish-Man Jujutsu!"

A navy officer with the rank of Rear Admiral on his shoulder lunged at Jack, his fists clenched, his four thick legs stomping on the ice as he charged.

"And then, this is Fish-Man Karate! Four Thousand Tiles - Straight Punch!"

Boom!!

The punch shook the air; the Rear Admiral's sword hadn't even touched Jack before it was blown back, and Jack himself was blasted into the sky by the punch.

Fish-Man Karate is a technique that manipulates water; skilled users can use water to create shockwaves that can pierce through a mountain peak with their bare hands.

Ever since Jack learned Fish-Man Karate and Fish-Man Jujutsu from Haku of the Revolutionary Army in the East Blue, he has been practicing them rigorously.

With his newfound skill, Jack's mastery of these two techniques now far surpasses Haku's.

"That's incredible, Brother Jack!!"

The blue-skinned Fish-Man was thrilled, exclaiming, "He's just like Boss Jinbe!"

Jinbe, the Sea Knight, is currently the most powerful Fish-Man in the world.

"Our benefactors are so active! We need to work harder too!"

"Oh!!"

The slaves risked their lives without hesitation.

The battle here is quite intense.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield between Sirius and Zephyr.

"This guy—"

Zephyr gritted his teeth.

Sirius's offensive suddenly felt familiar.

They were so fearless and reckless that they didn't even bother to defend against his attacks, always resorting to a strategy of trading blows with him.

I vaguely remember that the last time I fought this guy in the North Sea, he was like this too.

Then this guy mastered the Armament Haki of Internal Destruction!

What's this guy up to this time?!

Bang!

While they were thinking, their arms crossed, and one of them punched the other hard in the cheek.

Both were masters of physical combat, and in an instant, they blasted each other away like cannonballs.

Sirius performed a somersault in the air and landed heavily on the ground.

Then it opened its mouth wide, really wide, bigger than its body, and bit down on the ground in front of it.

With several bites, he gnawed a huge hole in the ground.

"Kid!!"

With an angry roar, Zephyr came crashing down from the sky.

Now I understand why this kid is resorting to such a reckless fighting style!

I almost forgot that this kid has monstrous regenerative abilities!

If we wage this kind of war of attrition, as long as he has the opportunity to eat, we have absolutely no chance of winning!

Engage him!

They launched a fierce, relentless attack, giving him no chance to eat!

Zephyr is determined to fight to the death!

"Hahaha! Let's go then, Mr. Zephyr!"

After taking a few bites of dirt, Sirius's already minor injuries had mostly healed, and he roared as he charged forward.

This is exactly what he wanted.

He was very close to mastering the technique of Conqueror's Haki Infusion, almost one step away.

Unsurprisingly, this technique, like the Armament Haki used for Internal Destruction, is also a form of training at the level of willpower.

However, it is much more difficult to achieve than Armament Haki.

After all, Conqueror's Haki is different from Armament Haki; it is difficult to control and is wild and flamboyant.

However, Sirius possessed a very special sword.

Regardless of whether what was obtained through the Black Greatsword was Haki Coating or not, it could indeed help Sirius convert Conqueror's Haki.

Even a pig would have some lessons to learn from prolonged use of such weapons.

Sirius was certainly not a pig, so he had many insights.

This final flash of inspiration is needed now.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The two men engaged in a truly manly battle of wits.

No one dodged; at most, they used Armament Haki for defense.

Their fists clashed and intertwined, raining down on each other like a storm.

"Ugh!"

Zephyr took a heavy punch to the nose, and tears and blood flew everywhere.

"Oh!"

Sirius was punched in the eye, and immediately saw stars and felt dizzy.

That old geezer's fist, it really fucking hit!

"That's really intense."

While Kizaru and Rayleigh were exchanging passionate blows, he took the time to look at the battlefield over there and sighed.

"Yes,"

He wasn't concentrating, and Rayleigh was happy to have some peace and quiet, smiling as he struck up a conversation, "It reminds me of those passionate years."

"Really, what are you saying, Mr. Rayleigh? Aren't we burning with passion right now?"

Kizaru swung his sword even more fiercely.

Teacher Zephyr can't keep fighting like that.

"Hey, hey, hey, is the old man getting all worked up?"

Aokiji frowned as well, "How can his body take this!"

The Black Greatsword Sky Splitter as it came, Aokiji stumbled backward.

"Call--"

Yamato let out a soft breath, gripping his greatsword tightly with both hands. "Don't even think about interfering with Sirius!"

"Oh dear, this is really troublesome."

Aokiji scratched his head. "Am I left with no choice but to use my ultimate move?"

"Ultimate move?"

Yamato's expression hardened.

How powerful must Admiral's ultimate move be?

Meanwhile, the real-man brawl between Sirius and Zephyr continued.

Both men were bruised and battered, their faces contorted in rage.

"Huff--Huff--Huff--"

Zephyr's breathing became very heavy, and his already unsightly face turned as pale as paper.

Just like in the original work, he developed asthma.

Sirius laughed loudly, "Is that all?! Zephyr's power is so weak it makes me want to laugh!!"

He ignored Zephyr's punches and took advantage of the situation to deliver several heavy blows to Zephyr's chest.

Wow!

Zephyr coughed up blood, staggered back several steps, and hunched over, panting heavily in pain, barely able to straighten up.

"Truly disappointing."

Sirius sighed regretfully.

If this is the end, it seems he won't be able to master the Haki Coating this time.

"Are you kidding me?!"

But the next second, Zephyr roared and pounced on Sirius again, gritting his teeth, "How long are you going to underestimate justice?! Pirate!!"

Why am I being made to look like the villain?

Sirius's lips curled into a smug smile. "Then come on!! Navy!!"

The exchange of fire resumed.

Despite his asthma, Zephyr simply held his breath and unleashed all his power in one breath.

Each punch was terrifyingly powerful; it could shatter even a mountain.

The power of will is irrational; Zephyr's fist was even heavier than before.

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

Sirius felt like every part of his body was screaming.

But--

"That's exactly how it should be!!"

Sirius laughed heartily and threw a punch to meet the attack.

Although his face was bruised and swollen, his eyes shone exceptionally brightly.

My mind was more focused than ever before, and my will began to boil.

Throw your fists without a care in the world, ignore everything else, just keep throwing punches!

All the power began to converge on his fists.

"It's about time it started bearing fruit!"

Sirius roared.

The next instant, the unrestrained Conqueror's Haki spread out from him, cracking the ground and blowing the dense tree canopy upwards.

However, the Conqueror's Haki's Haki only lasted for a moment before it abruptly stopped.

The wind stopped, but then Inazuma suddenly shot up!

Dark Inazuma crackled around Sirius's right fist!

Zephyr's pupils constricted.

But it was too late.

A dark fist slammed into his face.

No, it wasn't the fist that struck from a distance; it was the invisible, domineering Haki wrapped around the fist that slammed into Zephyr's face.

In that instant, Zephyr's mind went completely blank.

Although it was just a fleeting moment, it was enough.

The scales of victory have tipped in Sirius's favor!

"Hahahaha!! Thank you so much, Teacher Zephyr!!"

Sirius laughed heartily, grabbed Zephyr's shoulder, clenched his right fist, and said, "Then,"

He clenched his fist.

"Exit the stage, remnants of the old era!!"
