Time to Play the Defeat CG!

Akuta's refusal caused an uproar among the Beasts Pirates on the coast.

"This guy's gone mad! Lord Jin personally invited him, and he actually refused!"

"Who does he think he is, you bastard! How dare he refuse Lord Jin!"

Jack was furious and rolled up his sleeves, ready to jump into the sea.

"Don't stop me, watch me transform into an elephant and crush him!"

In the Sky Manipulation, Jin didn't speak, just silently watching the Akuta below.

A few seconds later, Jhin slowly began to clap his hands.

Snap, snap, snap.

The applause was exceptionally clear in the silent harbor.

"Interesting." Jin's lips curled upwards. "It's been a long time since I've met someone as bold as you."

After saying that, Jin's wings spread out completely, and his domineering aura was no longer concealed, but revealed!

The Beasts Pirates' three top lieutenants: King and Wildfire!

"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"

Without any unnecessary movements, Jin simply flickered and vanished from his spot.

Akuta's pupils contracted, and his Observation Haki went into overdrive, attempting to locate King's position.

Before he could find the Akuta, Jin had already appeared on his left side and kicked him with a right whip kick.

"Smack!"

After covering himself with another layer of Armament Haki, Akuta was swept away and bounced repeatedly on the sea surface like a skipping stone.

Not only that, but before the Akuta Man could even stop, the Ember's body reappeared beside the Akuta Man.

Another left front kick sent the Akuta flying once more.

Despite forcibly stabilizing his body, Akuta finally couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Wow! Cough cough!"

Jin smiled as he looked down at the Akuta from mid-air.

"Is that all you can do, kid?"

He didn't even give chase; he simply stood there and watched Akuta get up.

Akuta used his shadow to create footholds, forcibly allowing himself to float on the sea.

At this moment, every inch of his body was groaning, his bones felt like they were falling apart, and his internal organs were churning.

'No... the gap is too big...'

He knew in his heart that the gap between himself and Jin could not be bridged by the words "manly".

But his gaze swept over the Beasts Pirates on the shore.

Some of them were laughing, and some were shouting.

Akuta gritted his teeth and pretended to be nonchalant once again.

"Ahem, I was just careless and didn't dodge. Wait for me to get ready!"

Jin's lips curled up slightly, and he actually stopped in his tracks, waving his hand at Akuta, seemingly indicating that he should prepare to respectfully request permission.

Akuta took a deep breath, and the shadow behind him began to writhe again, transforming once more into a pair of shadow wings.

"Shadow Wings!"

With a flap of its wings, it propelled the Akuta up from the sea surface once more, swiftly charging towards the Ember in the air.

The next moment, the two collided again.

Punches, elbows, knees, and legs—the relentless blows exploded in the air with muffled thuds.

King's attacks were not flashy, and he didn't even use any Devil Fruit abilities. He relied solely on physical skills and Haki to force the Akuta to retreat steadily.

Just a few rounds later, Jhin's slap was enlarged in front of him.

The palm strike was too fast; the force was accompanied by the sound of wind, causing the stray hairs on Akuta's forehead to fall backward.

"Bang!"

Akuta was sent flying by the slap, his head buzzing, and the world before his eyes briefly turned into black and white snowflakes.

It hurts, it hurts so much!

Although it might be a little less, Akuta felt that he could now somewhat understand how the Fifth Prince felt when he was attacked by Sukuna Mamaru.

At this moment, every part of his body ached.

Akuta could only try his best to keep his mind clear and force himself not to faint.

He looked up at the sky, watching Jin look down at him from above, like a fish that had been washed ashore.

The pirates on the shore burst into laughter again.

Jack laughed the loudest, wiping the seawater and blood from his face, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Big Brother Jin, this piece of trash is utterly useless! Let me go up there and stomp him to death!"

However, Jin ignored him, calmly looking down at Akuta, waiting for him to stand up again.

On the sea, the Akuta was indeed rising again.

His shadow supported him, and he swayed as he rose to the surface of the sea.

"Ha... is that all the strength you have?" Akuta spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with seawater. "I thought the Beasts Pirates' top commander could take me down in an instant."

Jin's eyes continued to observe the Akuta, as if to confirm whether the person in front of him, who couldn't even stand steadily, was still worthy of his continued attack.

The pirate's second-in-command muttered to himself on the beach:

"This guy's a real demon, he's been beaten up like this and he still dares to talk back..."

A pirate nearby couldn't help but chime in:

I bet he'll say "I'm a man" next.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the Akuta on the sea surface grinned, revealing a smile that was even uglier than a grimace.

"I'm a man!"

The pirates were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"He actually said that!"

"Has this guy been beaten senseless?!"

Jin watched him quietly, and only spoke slowly after the pirates' laughter had subsided:

You have truly disappointed me.

"Um?"

"I gave you a chance, but you failed."

Akuta's smile froze for a moment, then returned to his arrogant and irritating expression.

"Don't rush me, bro, I haven't given up yet."

He suddenly lowered his head, swallowed the blood in his mouth, and the shadow behind him became active again.

"Shadow Wings!"

His body charged toward the ashes once more.

This time, however, the speed was noticeably slower than before.

Jin didn't even move his position; he simply raised his right foot and gently stomped down on the oncoming Akuta.

Akuta's body suddenly paused in mid-air, then plummeted towards the sea like a kite with a broken string.

"Bang!"

This time, Akuta didn't have time to cover his body with the Shadow Diving Suit before he was thrown into the sea.

The seawater enveloped him, instantly rendering him immobile, and his consciousness began to drift.

'Still can't do it... It seems Jhin is still a bit too strong for him...'

At the edge of the horizon, several wrecked ships of the Beasts Pirates were still stranded near the port, while the remaining pirates had gradually come ashore.

The embers slowly drifted to the shore.

Jack went up to him, and said with dissatisfaction:

"Big Brother Jin, why don't you just kill him? This guy is too arrogant!"

"He's interesting," Jhin said calmly, then glanced at the chaotic battlefield in the port.

"But you caused Big Brother's ship to become like this, so that debt must also be settled."

Jack's expression changed instantly.

"I... I didn't expect that kid, who's clearly an ability user, could stay underwater for so long. It's not entirely my fault!"

However, one look from Jhin shut Jack up.

Jin turned and waved in the direction where the Akuta had fallen into the sea.

"Send someone to retrieve him and take him back to Onigashima to await Big Brother's judgment."
