Jack's Terror
Jack lay on the desolate beach, gazing at the perpetually turbulent and oppressive sky of the New World, a chill running through his heart.
Just how many unknown powerful figures are hidden within the Uchiha Clan?
Natsu was an extraordinary monster, Fugaku was calm and unfathomable, and his methods of using Yaoyu and its Yakumi were ruthless and decisive. Now, Uchiha Kei has emerged, a ruthless person capable of crushing even the Yonko Commander.
Even the seemingly inexperienced new generation kids in Coral Port were able to hold him off for a full hour with their tacit teamwork. Their fighting style was tricky and their mentality was tenacious, completely overturning his previous understanding of the younger generation's combat strength.
Every Uchiha possesses strength far exceeding external expectations.
Each encounter constantly redefined his understanding of the fear he had towards this group.
He gritted his teeth and mustered his strength, barely managing to prop up his heavy upper body.
With the slightest movement of the body, the charred, scabbed wounds burst open, and fresh blood mixed with the remaining seawater slowly seeped out, sticking to the skin.
He had long since lost track of how long he had been unconscious, had no idea about the situation after the Battle of Coral Port, and dared not speculate whether the enraged Kaido would hold him accountable for his unauthorized actions and disastrous defeat.
He had only one obsession—he had to go back alive.
He wanted to bring back to Onigashima every single detail of Uchiha Kei's terrifying fighting power, the unpredictable tactics of the new generation of Uchiha, and the battle at Coral Port, without missing a single word.
The Beasts Pirates must understand just how terrifying the beings they have provoked are.
With trembling hands, he pulled out the Den Den Mushi he always carried and struggled to activate it to try and contact the fleet.
All that could be heard through the receiver was a continuous, piercing busy tone; the hissing of electrical current completely severed all communication.
Looking at the Den Den Mushi in his hand, swollen and completely malfunctioning from being soaked in seawater, Jack remained silent for a long time before letting it roll into the warm sand.
This Isolated Island was deserted, without ships, food, or any supplies, and there were no support ships from the Beasts Pirates.
To survive and return to Onigashima, he had no choice but to rely on his broken body to fight his way out.
Jack leaned heavily against the cold reef, slowly closing his eyes, the sea breeze carrying a salty, fishy smell.
Having traversed the New World for many years, he has faced dire straits countless times and miraculously turned the tide each time, becoming accustomed to pain and battle.
But he had never felt such genuine fear and helplessness before.
At that moment, an incredibly clear thought firmly took hold of his mind.
This time, the Beasts Pirates may have really messed with a group of people they shouldn't have.
It wasn't the Navy that had been maneuvering for years, nor the other three Emperors who checked and balanced each other, but rather that group of Uchiha who rose from the West Blue, with bloodshot eyes and boundless obsession.
The Skull Hall on Onigashima is shrouded in a deathly silence year-round, and today the atmosphere is so heavy it feels like it could crush the roof.
Kaido sat atop a giant stone throne, his five fingers gripping the battle report sent from Coral Port tightly.
Heavy breaths rolled down his chest, each exhale like a muffled growl of a ferocious beast, shaking the entire hall.
The entire group of Beasts Pirates Cadres below held their breath, not daring to even breathe loudly, for no one dared to risk provoking such fury.
Every line of text on the page was glaringly obvious.
Jack, acting on his own initiative, broke away from control and launched a surprise attack on the Uchiha New Generation Team at Coral Port. He was subsequently intercepted by Uchiha Kei, who cleaved him in two with a single sword strike and sank him into the deep sea. He has been missing ever since.
The battle report was crystal clear—that single sword strike shattered Jack's fighting spirit. The mighty Three Disasters of the Beasts Pirates was knocked unconscious and fell into the sea, utterly powerless to fight back.
On either side of the hall, the two core cadres stood silently.
Queen, with a cigar dangling from his lips, completely suppressed his usual playful and teasing nature, the smoke slowly dissipating from his mouth, remaining silent throughout.
Standing on the other side, Jin was covered by a completely black mask, his expression completely hidden in the shadows, and no one could see a trace of his thoughts. Only his hand, which was tightly gripping the hilt of his sword, was clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, revealing the solemnity in his heart.
In the dead silence, only the overlord on the throne roared in fury.
Kaido swung his arm violently, sending a battle report hurtling down with a gust of wind, slamming it hard onto the heavy stone table in front of him.
The hard rock platform cracked and shattered with a loud crash, sending fragments flying and tumbling down. The crisp sound of the fragments hitting the rock walls echoed through the empty hall for a long time.
"Uchiha Kei?!"
Kaido's eyes snapped open, revealing a fierce glint, and his roar shook the dome, causing dust to fall from it.
"A nobody who wasn't even qualified to sit at the table dares to mess with Kaido's people?!"
He stared intently at Jin, his anger surging, his tone arrogant and unreasonable. "Jack acted recklessly and recklessly, and he deserved to be defeated, I accept that! But why?! Because some nobody could cripple one of the Three Disasters of the Beasts Pirates with a single sword strike?!"
Faced with overwhelming rage, Jin remained calm and composed, standing tall and straight without the slightest panic.
After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke, his tone flat and cold, devoid of any emotion, simply stating the undeniable facts.
"He was never an unknown."
"During the Sabaody Archipelago battle, he killed Marine Vice Admiral Onigumo. In the complete Summit War, he repeatedly took on key roles, and his bounty was set at 1.87 billion Beli."
Jin slightly raised his eyes, precisely filling in the key information, and calmly reviewed the situation. "This sword strike at Coral Port has caused the outside world to completely reassess his combat strength. Uchiha Kei has now firmly established himself at the level of Yonko Commander."
"The Yonko Commander?"
Kaido repeated the two words in a low voice, his tone not calming down but becoming increasingly violent, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.
"Since they possess such combat power, they deserve to be killed even more!"
His aura suddenly dropped, and a terrifying pressure swept across the entire area. "If one Uchiha Kei already so troublesome, then add that group of new generation brats who could hold Jack off for a whole hour, and Fugaku, Yaoyu, Yakumi, these hidden powerhouses... Just how many trump cards does this group of Uchiha have hidden in the West Blue?"
Jin remained silent.
He couldn't answer that question.
All the powerful beings in this ocean have traceable paths to advancement in combat strength, except for the Uchiha Clan, who transcend all rules.
Each time they reappear in the world, they reveal a completely new layer of their strength.
What is most frightening is that, from beginning to end, the true pinnacle of that clan— Uchiha Natsu —never truly went all out.
After a long silence, Kaido slowly stood up.
His massive body nearly crushed the dome of the hall, and his imposing physique exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression, causing the air in the entire hall to freeze instantly.
"Jin, select a squad of elite troops."
"Your subordinate is here." Jin immediately bowed and accepted the order, his posture respectful and proper.
