Twelve years after the events of the original manga, Jack the Drought, one of the All-Stars top commanders under Kaido Four Emperors, one of the All-Stars and the three highest-ranking officers, is the first Great Pirate in the original work to appear with a bounty exceeding one billion. He is respectfully called "the Bravest Man on the Sea" by readers and is known in the world as "the Ship-King Kao"...
Faced with the combination of retired Marshal Sengoku, veteran staff officer Staff Officer Tsuru, and Admiral Fujitora, Jack bravely commanded his crew to "move the ship closer"...
Facing the 35,000-meter-tall giant elephant Zou, Jack directly brought out the Italian cannon, ready to destroy it...
Of course, the result was that they were badly injured both times and could only lie on the seabed waiting for rescue.
He can be said to be the only one in the original work who can rival Luffy in terms of courage and recklessness.
The reason he survived despite his recklessness is primarily due to Jack's immense strength. As Zoan - Ancient Zoan Mammoth Fruit user, his powerful physical abilities and the Devil Fruit ability, known for its thick skin and tough flesh, make his endurance, defense, and vitality astonishing.
Equally important is that Jack has Fish-Man blood...
This allows him to breathe normally even though he is completely powerless and unable to move in the water after eating the Devil Fruit, so he can lie on the seabed and wait for rescue after being sunk.
In the original work's "Vivre Card" (character information), Jack is shown to be Grouper Fish-Man, and... he looks mature, but is actually only 28 years old, much younger than the other two All-Stars, and is also the youngest top executive of the Yonko crew.
Jack is only sixteen years old now, still a teenager. When Kaido first entered Wano Country eight years ago, the Calamity of Drought among the All-Stars he led was naturally not the eight-year-old Jack. At this moment, Jack is still waving his pirate flag, adventuring on the sea, and has already made a name for himself in just one year, becoming a "Great Pirate (limited to the first half of the Grand Line)" with a bounty of over 100 million.
"Captain, a pirate ship is approaching." Yasopp had already spotted the Mammoth Pirates' flag, but only reported it now that he saw the pirates getting closer.
"Huh?" White adjusted his beret and looked up—his team's flag was hanging there, clearly visible!
"These new recruits these days are really energetic! Hahaha..." Snake remarked with a roguish air.
"Honestly, of all times, it had to be lunchtime!" Lucky Roo complained, gnawing on his meat.
"No, no, no, it's not about lunch. You haven't stopped eating the whole time!" Gennosuke complained from the side.
"Eating is one thing, but lunch still needs to be a ritual..." Lucky Roo said, throwing the leftover bones into the sea.
"Then you'd better hurry up and finish this." White, the chef, didn't want the food he had just prepared to get cold.
"Chirp chirp chirp..." Monkey Ooo was holding up a bounty poster.
It has already identified a bounty poster that matches the opponent's flag.
Sig then came over and took a look, only then realizing that the other party was called the "Mammoth Pirates"...
"Hmm? Jack, 180 million?" Sig confirmed the other party's Captain.
"I heard he's a very energetic and mischievous newcomer," Lucky Roo added.
He had vaguely heard some things about the "newcomers".
Shanks has only been at sea independently for four years, with the last year spent vacationing in the East Blue. He's just a year older than the other Supernovas, but in terms of strength...
"Alright, who's going to teach the newbies? The sea is brutal," Beckman said, lighting a cigarette as he spoke, clearly not intending to do it himself.
Before anyone else could speak, Sig volunteered, "I'll go."
"Hmm? You haven't developed your new technique yet?" As far as Beckman knew, Sig only showed interest in passing pirates when he was developing a new technique; otherwise, he was only this enthusiastic when encountering the Marines.
"No, it's just Jack ... I want to verify some things." Sig wasn't entirely sure that Jack was Fish-Man; he had only read some analyses, after all, Jack was too famous, but he hadn't seen the Vivre Card information.
In addition, Jack usually wears an iron chin so that his fangs are not visible, and the exposed parts of his body do not show any Fish-Man characteristics. Therefore, in public reports, he is not said to be Fish-Man Race!
Sig would naturally treat the Fish-Man Race differently, so he planned to go and "verify his identity."
As the Mammoth Pirates' ship approached and entered firing range, they showed no intention of firing, as if they were preparing to use their two ivory-shaped rams to ram the Red Force.
"Red-Hair! Hahaha... Become my stepping stone!" Jack shouted, raising his twin ivory-bladed swords high on the bow of the ship.
Out of respect, Shanks stood at the bow of the ship and looked at him, but only smiled and showed no intention of making a move.
On the contrary, Sig stood up and put a miniature trident on his finger and twirled it. The trident had three prongs at the front and a ring about the thickness of a finger at the end, with a handle about the width of Sig's fist in the middle.
Sig's Observation Haki allowed him to sense that Jack's heart stirred slightly when he saw him.
As expected, he must also be Fish-Man, and judging from his overly human-like features, he is likely Half Fish-Man.
Judging from his lack of racial belonging, he is most likely not from Fish-Man Island, but rather a descendant of the Fish-Man Race were separated from the island and intermarried with humans. He may have experienced discrimination, which is why he concealed his Half Fish-Man characteristics and never revealed them. In just one meeting, Sig completed his personality analysis.
Koby from a distance, indicating that he wasn't about to ambush him, and only after confirming that Jack had seen him did he infuse the Sig with electricity and then throw it over...
Jack clicked his tongue dismissively—that's all?
Having flown so far, and with Sig not being Yasopp, the trident's force had weakened considerably by the time it reached Jack, and Jack easily deflected it with the blade in his hand.
However, in the next instant, Sig flashed and appeared directly next to Jack, right where the small trident had been blocked to the side!
When Sig appeared, he was crouching on the side of the ship. He didn't rush to attack, but instead greeted him with a "Yo."
From the Mammoth Pirates' perspective, it was as if the person who seemed about to make a move suddenly disappeared from the ship, and before anyone could figure out what was going on, the person had already calmly appeared beside them!
Exclamations rang out one after another, and the Mammoth Pirates were thrown into a panic. Jack, while surprised, also launched an attack on Sig – because he was too naive, his shock did not affect his speed at all.
The level of shock that would make people "pause" is directly reflected in Jack's attack!
The Sig blade slashed down, but Sieg vanished beneath Flash of Lightning a flash, while Jack instead shattered a section of his own ship's side—though he used a weapon, it was undoubtedly "Martial Arts," and the damage was not caused by sharpness, but by a devastating, crushing blow.
Sig moved directly in Elementalization this time, but Jack's Observation Haki was far inferior to Sig's, so in his eyes, Sig's two "disappearances" were no different.
Sig appeared directly behind Jack, placing a finger on his back—sixteen-year-old Jack was already two heads taller than Sig.
The next moment, amidst a cry of pain, Jack continued to twist and slash desperately, but Sig had already "disappeared" and reappeared beside him, gently tapping his left rib with his finger...
