"Enhanced Impact Shell - Elephant Gun!"

With a single slap, Usopp sent a Beasts Pirates flying. His entire arm was numb as he ran backward, muttering to himself.

"Seriously, they actually expect me, a sniper, to fight in a chaotic melee..."

However, it must be said that high-intensity combat is indeed beneficial for enhancing Haki. During the battle against Doflamingo in Dressrosa, a single attack, the 'Enhanced Impact Shell - Elephant Gun,' crippled one of Usopp's arms, and now...

The arm can be used for the next time!

"Or maybe I should just use that trick..."

After glancing at the two sides locked in a fierce battle, Usopp abandoned his plan to unleash his ultimate attack. So:

"Ultimate Move: Green Star Demon!"

Then:

"Wild growth!"

Swish swish swish~~

"Charge! Demon Legion!!"

Under the effect of the 'Overgrowth Ability,' a swarm of ferocious man-eating plants chased the elite Beasts Pirates all over the place. Before Usopp could even rejoice for a few seconds, a giant dinosaur opened its blood-red maw and pounced. With bites and claws, it swiftly wiped out Usopp's combat plants, and then a huge golden vertical pupil landed on Usopp—

?!

"Why are you looking at me? There are many more experts over there..."

Everyone else was fighting seriously, but Usopp, who was being chased all over the place by Page One, was shouting and yelling, adding a touch of 'joyful' atmosphere to the serious battlefield.

"Mr. Roman, is that... long-nosed warrior alright?"

"Don't panic,"

The white dove on Hiyori Kozuki's shoulder calmly flapped its wings.

"Usopp always gets chased and beaten up whenever he gets into a fight..."

Oh, no need to panic?

However, the next second, the white dove's words dispelled the doubts of the Wano Country 'Admiral'.

"But the final victor will definitely be Usopp!"

·····

Is this what trusting your companions means?

On the other side of the ocean, seeing that Big Mom had wisely reduced her strength and started to slack off, the three CP0 members turned their attention to another battlefield:

"Is it really him?"

"The classified information he took away back then is outdated and no longer poses a threat to the government, right?"

"That being said," CP0 member standing nearby, holding up a mask to cover his face, continued, "It's not good to be able to live a carefree life after escaping, especially since there's such a precedent. If possible, we should probably take care of him while we're at it."

"Let's wait until he survives this battlefield first," said the leader, a man in Byakugan mask, white top hat, and trench coat, looking at the battlefield. "His opponent is Jinbe than Jinbe, one of the Shichibukai!"

The implication was that the 'target' was probably doomed even without their intervention.

The CP0 members were looking towards Jinbe and his rival, Jinbe, one of the Six.

It was a tall, slender man wearing a bright red bull-horned helmet, with long pink hair, earrings, an eye-like pattern and his own name tattooed on his chest, a red suit, leather shoes and trousers, black gloves, and holding a long knife. He had a cigarette in his mouth.

His opponent, Jinbe, was a towering figure shrouded in shadows of varying sizes. Besides the henchmen wielding swords, guns, and cannons, there were also a dozen or so artificial Devil Fruit user with heavily armored armor and sharp claws. However, the most visually imposing figure was an extremely large creature flying in the sky.

It was a creature that was fifteen or sixteen meters tall, with a human-like body and limbs covered in sharp claws. Its face, which resembled Rat magnified hundreds of times, had a large mouth that stretched all the way to its lower jaw. It also had two sheep-like horns on its head and a pair of bat-like wings that could be spread more than twenty meters wide. When it flew in the air, it looked like a large passenger plane, and its entire body had an obsidian-like luster.

Although he has wings, he is not under the command of 'Jin'. The reason is that his huge body can only fly short distances for a short time, and he is more like a guy who jumps on the ground than a flying creature.

"Hey, Jinbe!"

Facing the besieged Jinbe, Who's Who, wearing a helmet, grinned and sneered.

"Don't you even complain? Why don't you call for help from your companions—"

"Unnecessary,"

?

"Strictly speaking, this is my first major battle since joining the Straw Hat crew."

"At least we need to produce a decent result."

After the chaotic battle on Whole Cake Chateau came the escape; then, at the Red Earl's place, Jinbe faced Hody Jones, a one-sided rout. Now, it's the first real battle between the executives, Jinbe is naturally on high alert—even though his opponent has absolutely no intention of 'fighting him one-on-one'.

"Charge them!"

At Who's-Who's command, a group of Zoan artificial Devil Fruit user immediately charged towards Jinbe! Meanwhile, a giant obsidian bat in the air swooped down on Jinbe first, its massive body emitting a whooshing sound like a fighter jet soaring through the air! However:

"Your cultivation is not yet sufficient,"

?!

A figure leaped up first, grabbing the giant bat-like ability user whose entire body was covered in Haki. With a twist and turn, the bat's struggling force was easily rendered useless or redirected, and its wings and limbs could not touch anything.

"Fish-Man Jujutsu: Tidal Wave Shoulder Throw!"

Call out!!

The giant obsidian bat, disoriented and Jinbe bewildered, was hurled from afar by Jinbe. It arced through the air for over a thousand meters before crashing off the island. Although it tried desperately to regain its footing, Jinbe's Fish-Man Karate had thrown its internal fluids into disarray, leaving it unable to control its body for the time being. It could only watch helplessly as the sea drew ever closer, and then:

Thump!

When a person with superpowers enters the sea, it's like a weight falling into the water.

If someone manages to pull you out of the water before you die, that's considered a success.

"Awooo—"

Leading the charge was a gigantic werewolf, whose six-meter height and massive size caused the ground to tremble slightly with every step he took. Like an indestructible biological war machine, it roared as it charged straight toward Jinbe!

However, when faced with the giant bat that instantly killed a qualified contender for the 'Six Sons' and Jinbe's calm gaze as he slowly descended, the giant wolf's biological instincts caused it to howl, but the howl was hoarse like a beast in dire straits.

"Tread!"

His steps only caused the ground to tremble slightly, but the ground suddenly shook violently afterward, causing the huge werewolf to lose his balance in a moment of confusion.

The ground shook violently at that moment, as if dozens of giant cannons were firing at the same time, the huge recoil causing a strong shockwave! Standing behind him, Who's-Who could clearly see that the ground beneath Jinbe's feet seemed to have turned into a huge, elastic, thick carpet. First, it suddenly sank in the center of where Jinbe stomped his foot, and then, as if someone had shaken the carpet, circular ripples spread outwards from Jinbe.

The ripples reached the feet of the giant werewolf who was charging forward, and his feet were lifted more than ten centimeters off the ground. He lost his balance and fell straight towards Jinbe.

But what awaited him was a fist coming straight at his head!

"Fish-Man Karate - Karakusa Kawara Seiken!"

It should be said that Jinbe did not stomp his foot intentionally. The earthquake was just the force generated by his right fist as he stood up straight. This shows how terrifying the power contained in this punch was!

Thump—

Faced with this ferocious punch, the giant werewolf's eyes were filled with despair! However, the fist stopped in front of his face at the last moment. In the werewolf's puzzled gaze, the next second, his body suddenly began to twist, levitate, and then fly backward!

Click click click,

Standing at the rear, directing his men to charge, Foz-Foe could even hear a series of crisp, cracking sounds, like a sack full of dry branches being smashed by a heavy hammer.

Flying backwards, flying backwards, flying backwards!!!

In an instant, all the Zoan users who had charged forward were sent flying back through the air! Blood gushed from their mouths and noses as if it were free, and their bodies spun as if hit by a Rasengan! Judging from their distorted appearance, even the Zoan, who are known for their thick skin and tough flesh, would not be able to stand up for a while.

?!

"Shave--"

Jinbe instantly teleported away from Jinbe, who had just unleashed Jinbe punch from afar. Jinbe's Fish-Man Karate had already reached its pinnacle, to the point where he could even control the moisture inside an enemy's body to inflict damage! His punch, delivered with full force, would cause invisible internal damage to all creatures within its range.

"Geppo— "

As one of the six, Foz-Foe was not going to fall for it so easily. As he dodged by stepping into the air, the muscles in his long, powerful right leg tensed like knives.

"Storm Kick - Storm Leg!"

Faced with Who's Foz's massive Flying Slash, Jinbe simply raised one arm, and his jet-black Armament Haki withstood the attack.

"Shave, Geppo, Storm Kick... just as expected,"

"You're from CP9? I've heard rumors of World Government assassins escaping from prison, but... have you offended some big shot, or messed up some mission?"

"Haha, I'm surprised you even know such a secret."

When he landed, Who's-Who had transformed into an upright-walking... big cat? However, the two enormous fangs in his mouth indicated that he wasn't an ordinary Cat-Cat Fruit. Rather:

Zoan, Cat-Cat Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Saber-toothed Tiger form!

It's safe to say that CP9 truly lives up to its nickname, the 'Zoo.' Of course, the Six Powers) style of melee combat is actually best suited to Zoan techniques.

"That's right, that's me!"

Foz-Fur directly revealed the secret:

"Twelve years ago, I was in charge of secretly transporting the 'Rubber-Rubber Fruit' back to headquarters, but it was stolen by that red-haired guy on the way!"

However, Shanks couldn't win;

"Later, the Rubber-Rubber Fruit and Shanks' Straw Hat were passed down to your captain Luffy!"

However, Luffy still couldn't beat him;

"Since you keep claiming to be a member of the Straw Hat crew, then I'm going to settle the score with you!"

So, they decided to cause trouble for Jinbe.

Unfortunately, he chose the wrong target to vent his anger on. If Who's-Who had another chance, he might have turned around and caused trouble for Usopp.

Usopp:?!

"Take this, Fang Gun!"

With a swift movement of his mouth, a slash shaped like a tooth shot out! This was Foz-Fox's self-created skill. Although it lacked the sheer size of a normal 'Storm Kick' and the density of a normal 'Shigan,' it significantly compressed its power into a single strike.

Puff--

Even Jinbe's arm, covered in Armament Haki, was grazed by this toothpick... cough cough, Fang Gun! Yes, just a scratch...

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so agile on the ground."

"He's clearly just a Fish-Man!"

Faced with Foz-Foe's mockery, even the usually serious Jinbe couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"What era are we living in? Why are you still using that Fish-Man discrimination mentality?"

Please, Fish-Man Island has rightfully secured a place among the World Government's top 50, are all your Beasts Pirates' Den Den Mushi on vacation?

"Haha, sorry, sorry."

The two figures engaged in another high-speed battle, and while fighting, Foz asked a question that had puzzled him for a long time.

"By the way, when I was imprisoned and tortured, I heard people talk about the legend of the 'Sun God' Nika. If you can't take it, you should pray to that god."

"That would bring hope and laughter. Later, the jailer who told me this story died, and I sensed danger! I desperately escaped..."

Why are you asking me this?

Faced with Jinbe being suppressed by 'Shigan Madara', Who's Who naturally replied:

"Of course it's because of your 'Sun Pirates,' and aren't you Fish-Man just slaves? You should know these rumors—"

········

The so-called 'Sun God' Nika is none other than the slave you despise, Fisher Tiger, the former leader of the Sun Pirates!

"Don't speak carelessly if you don't understand other people's history! I have nothing to say to you."

"But since you enjoy 'pointing fingers' so much—"

"Ahhhh!!"

With a sudden jolt of his arms, Jinbe forcefully bent Who's-Fox's Haki -covered fingers! He Jinbe adopted a Fish-Man Karate stance.

Let me, this old man, give you some pointers!
