Most Trash-Tier Zoan vs. Most Trash-Tier Superman-Type!

On the pirate ship that hasn't sunk yet.

Unable to stop him in time, the pirate's first mate could only watch helplessly as Jack transformed into a giant mammoth and smashed towards the Akuta.

"Lord Jack, you're being far too reckless..."

However, just as his deputy was complaining, an unexpected scene unfolded.

Akuta stood on his driftwood, raising his hands high.

It looks like they're going to lift Jack up!

"Where did this savage come from? Is he possessed by a demon?!"

The pirate's first mate originally thought Jack was already quite reckless, but he didn't expect someone to be even more courageous than him.

Whose subordinate is this!

How could the ocean, with no support points, possibly support a mammoth as large as Jack?

But when the pirate's second-in-command saw the confident and fearless expression on Akuta's face, a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

Could it be... that he can really lift it?

Just as a glimmer of hope arose in the pirate's right-hand man's heart, Jack, transformed into a mammoth, had already arrived above the head of the Akuta.

One second before Jack struck the Akuta, the Akuta's cry echoed once more from the port of Wano Country.

"Jack! Come and see who's with the roadside!"

At that moment, Jack and the Akuta made contact right before the pirates' eyes.

Feeling the impact from Jack's palm, Akuta knew that he no longer had any chance to stop Jack from hitting him.

Jack, transformed into a behemoth, exploded like a nuclear bomb, creating a massive splash in the port of Wano Country.

The Akuta crashed into the seabed in an instant as Jack appeared.

The spot where Jack stood was left with a huge, devastating void.

After the shockwave subsided, the pirate ship symbolizing the Beasts Pirates was thrown about in all directions.

In the sea, Jack, who had hurled his full power at the Akuta, sank helplessly to the bottom of the ocean. His Devil Fruit ability quickly disappeared upon contact with seawater.

Seeing the Akuta, also an ability user, disappear from his sight, Jack finally felt relieved and deactivated his beast transformation ability.

For Jack, the decisive "Smash it!" was just a skill he had developed through improvisation.

As a result, the driftwood beneath Akuta's feet was smashed, and he himself sank to the bottom of the sea.

"Looks like I do have some talent after all, no wonder I am!"

The pirate's second-in-command on the shore was so tight his bandages were almost torn.

Who would have thought that the audacious enemy who came to attack was simply killed by Jack with a casual strike?

Within a single second of Jack jumping up, Akuta countered his move, executing a brilliant and unpredictable maneuver that could be considered one of the most difficult to execute in history.

The young pirate standing nearby stared blankly at the sea, still unable to believe it.

In other words...

Having only recently become a pirate, this was the first time he had encountered an enemy attack.

He hadn't expected the first attack to end so easily!

"That's right." The pirate's second-in-command nodded boredly. "Lord Jack won."

After silently muttering "Where did this savage come from?" at the approaching Akuta, his deputy gave orders to the group:

"Get ashore quickly, then get Lord Jack out of the water as soon as possible!"

Jack is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user.

But he is also a saddle-belted grouper-man!

As a fish-man, he has the ability to breathe underwater.

In the sea, he wore Seastone just like any other ability user.

Although he can't use his powers, that doesn't stop Jack from breathing underwater.

However, just as the pirates successfully landed and were preparing to go back into the sea to rescue Jack, someone noticed something was amiss.

"Wait! Look at the sea! Blood is bubbling up from the surface!"

The shouts, seemingly from nowhere, drew the attention of all the pirates.

They looked towards the sea and saw that beneath the still-unsettled surface, large amounts of red blood were suddenly bubbling up.

One pirate speculated:

"Could it be that Lord Jack smashed that savage into a bloody mist?"

However, this speculation was immediately opposed by other pirates.

"How is this possible! Lord Jack just created such a huge splash; even that savage would have been swept away by the water long ago. How could he only reappear now?"

This idea was immediately accepted by all the pirates.

The blood bubbling up from beneath the surface must have been produced after Jack entered the water.

Suddenly, an absurd thought entered the mind of the pirate's second-in-command.

Since the blood in front of us wasn't produced by that savage, then it must be Jack's!

The pirate's second-in-command's idea was correct.

Rewinding the timeline by a few dozen seconds, Jack, who had just entered the sea, forcibly deactivated his mammoth form.

When he first learned that ability users would lose their mobility after entering the sea, he devised a tactic.

That is, when encountering an enemy who is also a power user, he can use his enormous size in his mammoth form to forcibly crush the enemy's warship and then force himself to fall into the sea with them.

At that time, as a fish-man, I can continue to breathe underwater, while my opponent will drown in the sea because he/she is unable to move.

Jack couldn't help but laugh when he thought about how he had dragged the attackers into the ocean.

What a load of bull! Daring to attack the Beasts Pirates.

This is called fish-man underwater breathing. So what if you have a power-up? Even if you have a power-up, you can't breathe underwater!

You can only watch your brother breathe, that's called tactics!

Do you understand?

Ghana!

Ha ha ha ha!

However, just as Jack, now back in human form, struggled to turn around underwater, ready to see the pitiful state of the power user who couldn't breathe, he witnessed a scene that puzzled him.

The attacker he had just thrown into the sea had disappeared.

What reappeared before him was a figure entirely in black standing not far away.

'What the heck is this! There's a black guy here!'

Just as Jack was puzzled, a long, black, curved knife suddenly extended from the "black man's" hand.

The next moment, the curved blade slashed towards Jack with lightning speed and a clang.

"What?!" Jack's expression changed, and he immediately moved his body in the sea in an attempt to dodge the knife.

However, Jack's body was already large, and the knife was indeed fast, so the knife eventually cut a gash in Jack's shoulder.

In the shadows, sensing that the shadow blade had missed its target, Akuta tilted his head slightly.

"Did I miss? I'm still getting used to using Observation Haki for the first time."

That's right, this "black man" is none other than Akuta, which Jack smashed into the sea.

Just before he entered the water, Akuta used his shadow to envelop his entire body.

The dense shadow completely enveloped the Akuta, forming something resembling a "diving suit" on its surface.

Thanks to the remaining oxygen in the "shadow oxygen tank" behind him, Akuta can breathe briefly in the seawater and continue to use his abilities.

However, this move is not without its drawbacks.

That's because the shadow's enveloping effect was so strong that Akuta was completely covered, including his eyes.

Having lost his sight, the Akuta could not detect the enemy with the naked eye and could only use the Observation Haki he had just received as a system reward to probe for information about the enemy.

Akuta controlled his "Shadow Blade" and sheathed it again.

Since most of his shadows had been used to make diving suits, he could no longer control many shadows.

He used his Observation Haki to pinpoint Jack's location and prepared to attack once again.

"My name is Shadow Akuta! Prepare to die!"
