Sirius Versus Jack

Jack and Sirius ran out of the building in a flash, arriving at an open space.

Here, King, clad in black leather clothes and pants, was already waiting. Standing before him were Yamato and Maria.

Noticing their arrival, King suddenly turned his head, "Why so slow?"

"Sorry, Brother King," Jack said with a guilty look, "It was my fault."

Good brother.

This was a good brother, not saying it was because he himself was slow and held Jack back.

Sirius jumped down from Jack's shoulder and looked up at King, "It's not Jack's fault. I was too slow, Uncle King."

"Sirius is here for the first day, he doesn't know anything. Please forgive him this time, Uncle King!" Yamato shouted.

Black Maria chimed in, "That's right, that's right."

"Hurry over. Remember to be on time tomorrow," King said calmly, without saying much else.

Sirius walked over. Yamato winked at him, and Sirius silently mouthed to her and Black Maria, "Thank you."

Maria nodded gently, while Yamato smiled brilliantly, revealing a row of small white teeth.

Sirius then noticed that one of her front teeth was missing, apparently she was in the period of losing baby teeth.

Sirius and Yamato stood side by side, with the two tall figures, Jack and Black Maria, standing behind them.

King glanced at the four kids standing before him. All four were very talented.

Especially Yamato and Sirius, who stood at the front.

One was Boss Kaido's daughter, inheriting his strongest bloodline.

The other was a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit User, possessing abilities on the same level as Boss Kaido.

These two kids, when they grew up, would definitely not be inferior to himself or Queen.

However, this required careful nurturing.

Sirius frowned under King's gaze.

The man's stare felt like an X-ray, making him feel as if he was being seen through from head to toe.

"Sirius," King looked at Sirius, "Mr. Kaido has high hopes for you, so you absolutely cannot disappoint him. Even if you die, you must fulfill his expectations!"

"Wow, you're starting off with some serious gaslighting."

Sirius chuckled, "Understood!"

With two lifetimes combined, he was barely an adult. Adults were supposed to learn to consider others' feelings!

King nodded, "I hope you don't just understand with your words, but show me with your actions."

"For now, let me see your skill level."

Sirius looked confused, "Skill level? What skill level?"

Before Sirius could figure out what was happening, King looked up at Jack and said, "Jack, you'll be Sirius's opponent. It's also a good chance for me to see your progress lately."

"Alright!"

Jack responded loudly, already rubbing his hands together, "Just what I wanted!"

Only then did Sirius understand what King meant. This meant fighting?

Yamato nudged Sirius's shoulder with her elbow. Seeing him turn his head, she whispered, "Jack is a Devil Fruit User, he's a Big elephant!"

"But with you, Sirius, there's no problem, right? You can definitely beat him!"

You really have a lot of confidence in me.

Sirius said helplessly, "Do we really have to fight? I've never fought before."

This was the truth. In the past year, Sirius had hunted many animals to make a living, but fighting someone was indeed a first.

"Enough nonsense! The strong are always forged through trials! The weak fear challenges! You cannot be weak!"

King glared at Sirius, "Prepare to fight! Yamato and Maria, clear the area."

Yamato patted Sirius's shoulder, giving him a thumbs-up with a bright smile, "Go, Sirius! I believe in you!"

"Me too! Give that idiot Jack a good beating!" Maria also encouraged him.

Jack coldly watched the two heartless women. In terms of their relationship, he had known them longer!

The two quickly moved aside, leaving only Sirius and Jack facing each other.

"Sirius! I won't hold back!"

Jack loudly declared his stance, "Let me see what kind of power you possess, you who are recognized by Boss Kaido!"

Then, his body began to swell. Thick brown fur grew from his skin, his nose elongated, and tusks began to grow.

Within a few breaths, he had transformed into a giant Mammoth.

Jack's already massive physique became even more exaggerated after using his abilities. Standing before Sirius, he was like a small mountain, the contrast in size extremely stark.

"While I want to support Sirius, can he really win against Jack?" Black Maria asked with some worry. "Jack's an idiot, true, but he's a very powerful idiot!"

Yamato, however, said seriously, "Sirius will definitely win!"

"Huh? Why?"

"Because he beat me last night."

"Beat you in terms of eating?"

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Jack began to charge towards Sirius.

The heavy footsteps sounded like an earthquake. As expected of the man who would later be known as a Calamity, his aura was not weak even at this young age.

Sirius felt like a train was barreling down on him.

This was on a completely different level from the wild beasts he'd encountered on the Desert Island in the past!

Since battle was unavoidable, he could only brace himself and go for it!

Sirius leaped up, his body instantly beginning to stretch.

By the time he landed, he had transformed into a giant wolf with glossy black fur!

"Wow! He transformed!"

Yamato's eyes instantly filled with little stars. "Sirius turned into a super cool Big Dog!"

"That's a wolf, isn't it?"

Maria questioned. "But Sirius is also a Devil Fruit User. He got so big!"

Before Sirius used his ability, the size difference between him and Jack was exaggerated.

But now, he wasn't much smaller than Jack.

A giant wolf over four meters long could hardly be considered small.

"Be careful, Jack!"

Sirius grinned, and sparks suddenly began to fly from his throat.

The next instant, Sirius opened his massive jaws, and scorching flames erupted, transforming into a huge Fire Pillar that blasted towards Jack!

"What?"

The dazzling flames rushed forward, and Jack froze on the spot, unable to move.

As the saying goes, "many hairs make one weak against fire." As a Mammoth, he was naturally afraid of flames.

"He... he's breathing fire!!"

Black Maria exclaimed, "Sirius, is he a Mythical Zoan?"

"Just like Father!" Yamato cheered, "So amazing, Sirius!"

The scorching flames condensed into a fire pillar that brushed past Jack and then directly blasted into the inner wall of the Skull ahead.

Boom!

An explosion erupted, and the turbulent flames splashed everywhere. Shattered rock fragments flew wildly, and a gaping hole was blown directly into the thick wall of the Skull.

"What astonishing power!"

Black Maria marveled, "If that idiot Jack were hit, he'd be roasted elephant, wouldn't he?"

King also nodded slightly.

The gap between Mythical Zoans and Ancient Zoans was immense. Although Jack was two years older than Sirius, the strength gap was already considerable.

As the flames dissipated, Sirius spat out a spark and said with a smile, "How about it, Jack? Still want to fight?"

"Of course!!"

Without any hesitation, Jack roared and charged at Sirius. His two sharp tusks, like a knight's lance, flashed with a cold glint as he thrust them at Sirius.

He's usually quite kind, but he gets really stubborn when he fights.

However, when the opponent is an elephant, I have plenty of experience dealing with them.

Sirius exerted force with all four limbs and lunged at Jack as well.

Sirius was very fast. Wolves were naturally more agile than elephants, let alone Sirius, who was the legendary Magic Wolf!

Jack's thick trunk was raised high, and in the next second, it was about to smash down on Sirius's head like a steel whip.

But just as the two were about to collide, Sirius leaped to the right, easily evading Jack's attack while brushing past him.

After landing, Sirius suddenly leaped to the left, pouncing directly onto Jack.

In terms of size, Sirius was still a bit smaller than Jack, but Jack's massive body crashed down with Sirius's pounce, directly knocking him to the ground.

What astonishing strength!!

Jack was shocked as he lay on the ground.

He was pinned down with almost no resistance.

Jack instinctively wanted to struggle, but the claw Sirius placed on his neck was like a mountain, pinning him down and making him unable to move.

"I won, right?"

Sirius raised his head and looked at King.
