"Moo~"
An angry bovine roar rang out.
Just as Domino continued showing Wilton around, the four previously bewildered Jailer Beasts went berserk. Minotaurus, carrying a massive spiked club, quickly came up behind Wilton, raised it high, and smashed it down.
Sadi was their commander.
Now that their commander had been knocked down, their first instinct, with their limited intelligence, was to retaliate. Otherwise, when Sadi woke up and found that they had stood by and done nothing, they would suffer for it.
The blow was immensely powerful.
With a loud crash, Wilton blocked it with his dumbbell. His feet sank deep into the hard ground, and even his upper body bent slightly. Looking up at the furious cow, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes.
It was incredibly strong.
Wilton quickly exerted force and knocked the spiked club aside, sending Minotaurus stumbling backward uncontrollably.
But just as he was about to counterattack, three huge shadows engulfed him from the left, right, and front. Minotaur Rhino, Minotaur Koala, and Minotaur Zebra had attacked as well.
"Feverish Spin."
Wilton's blood surged, and his fighting spirit flared up at once. This was the perfect chance to experience the terror of an awakened Zoan in advance. He wanted to see whose vitality was greater and who could take more punishment.
The air roared.
Two enormous AOE slashing waves spread out with overwhelming force, immediately blocking the weapons of the three Jailer Beasts. Wilton vanished in a flash, and when he reappeared, he was already above Minotaur Koala.
"Explosive Double Axes."
Wilton went all out. Two dumbbell phantoms over a hundred meters long appeared behind him, wrapped in Armament Haki as they came crashing down with earth-shattering force.
Minotaur Koala screamed miserably and collapsed onto the ground. Its enormous body caused the surrounding earth to crack apart, forming a massive pit.
With another leap.
Wilton appeared above Minotaur Zebra and Minotaur Rhino, delivering a full-power dumbbell blow to each of their heads. He had no intention of holding back; every strike was meant to kill.
He wanted to see just how much punishment an awakened Zoan could withstand.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The entire Boiling Hell seemed to jump. As powerful shockwaves spread out, the three Jailer Beasts ended up lying in craters, their foreheads covered in blood.
"Iron Body!"
At that moment, Minotaurus found an opening. Gripping its spiked club with both hands, it swung down with monstrous strength. Wilton's muscles bulged all over as he held both dumbbells and met the attack head-on.
In an instant.
Two tremendous forces collided with thunderous force. Wilton felt both hands go numb, then took three heavy steps back, each leaving a footprint behind. Minotaurus on the other side did the same.
Its dimwitted face was full of confusion.
It could not understand how this skinny little runt could possess such immense strength and actually block its spiked club.
That was right.
In its eyes, Wilton was just a skinny little runt, because the difference in their sizes was a full threefold.
"Moo! Moo! Moo!"
Minotaurus sniffed up its snot and roared fiercely. With its arms spread wide, its aura suddenly became even more savage. It felt challenged and immediately charged at Wilton with murderous intent.
Wilton also let out an unrestrained roar and charged straight at Minotaurus.
This kind of brutal, head-on brawl was his favorite.
Deafening metal clashes rang out as showers of sparks burst between the dumbbells and spiked club. Then a blur of afterimages appeared as Wilton and Minotaurus swung their weapons at top speed, trading Normal Attacks at close range.
Wave after wave of air pressure spread out from the man and beast, while the thick, hard ground beneath their feet continuously cracked apart.
In a flash.
Minotaurus's spiked club was knocked aside. Wilton gripped his dumbbell and launched an Uppercut Bell, instantly sending Minotaurus flying toward the ceiling of Boiling Hell.
Just as Wilton was about to pursue, Minotaur Rhino appeared in its overalls. Blood ran down its forehead as it sniffed up its snot, but the injuries Wilton had inflicted earlier had already healed.
Its two short spiked clubs swept toward him, and Wilton countered.
At that moment, danger struck from his left and behind. It was Minotaur Koala and Minotaur Zebra. Without hesitation, Wilton used Feverish Spin, forcibly knocking the bear and zebra back.
But wind whistled overhead. Minotaurus descended from above with blood all over its mouth, gripping its spiked club with both hands as it viciously smashed down. Wilton reacted quickly, raising a dumbbell in his right hand to block it.
Rubble shot in every direction.
Wilton dropped to one knee. Before he could get back up, Minotaur Rhino suddenly appeared and slammed a spiked club directly into his chest. A deafening dull boom erupted, and Wilton turned into a streak of light, crashing through countless Jailer prisoners before finally smashing into a wall and sending up clouds of shattered stone and dust.
Over here.
Minotaur Koala and Minotaur Zebra shook their heads and stood up, weapons in hand as they joined Minotaurus and Minotaur Rhino. The four Jailer Beasts were like monsters that simply could not be killed.
"Stop."
Domino could not stand watching any longer and tried to intervene.
At the same time, she was once again shocked by Wilton's strength. He was still handling himself with ease against four Jailer Beasts. Even pirates with bounties exceeding a hundred million would only be chased down and beaten by any one of them.
Minotaurus and the other three possessed terrifying durability, recovery, and stamina. Unless all four Jailer Beasts were killed in one go, they only needed a few minutes to get back on their feet.
"Chief Guard Domino, please do not stop them."
Wilton emerged from the smoke. He looked somewhat battered, but his own durability was nothing to scoff at.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Wilton impatiently leaped high into the air like a missile and crashed toward the four Jailer Beasts. Today, he was taking on all four.
Collisions erupted one after another.
Though Wilton looked human on the surface, to Domino and the Jailer prisoners, he was a ferocious beast wearing human skin, no different from the four Jailer Beasts.
One sweep of his dumbbell sent Minotaur Rhino flying, only for Minotaurus's spiked club to come at him head-on. He narrowly avoided it with a backflip, only to find Minotaur Koala at his side, wearing tiger knuckle dusters.
The strike landed squarely on his kidney.
Amid a burst of metallic sparks, Wilton was sent flying. He crashed repeatedly into the ground and rolled nonstop, but he had no time to catch his breath. Minotaur Zebra descended from above, its timing perfect.
"Moo!"
After Wilton dodged Minotaur Zebra's attack and was about to retaliate, Minotaur Rhino seemed to turn into a locomotive and charged at him with terrifying speed and force.
"Dumbbell Impact."
Wilton was under enormous pressure, but he enjoyed it.
A hundred-meter dumbbell shockwave forcibly stopped Minotaur Rhino. Then Wilton used Explosive Double Axes and brought them down in a fierce Mountain Splitting Strike, smashing Minotaur Rhino flat onto the ground.
At that moment, a spiked club, a tiger-knuckled fist, and a spiked hammer came straight at him. Their momentum was unstoppable, their speed like lightning, leaving Wilton no chance to dodge.
The air exploded.
Wilton bent over and spat out blood. Even with Iron Body and Armament Haki pushed to their limits, he could not fully withstand that force. He immediately shot away like a cannonball in a trail of sparks and lightning, finally embedding himself deep in a wall as hard as steel.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Not long afterward.
The entire Boiling Hell descended into chaos. Wilton was like an unkillable cockroach, tough and unyielding as he fought the four Jailer Beasts from west to east, then from east to west.
Wherever they went, people were sent sprawling.
Many Jailers and prisoners were forced into the cells, watching like spectators as the central battle raged with savage slaughter. The man and four beasts did not dodge at all, all fighting with wide-open, direct attacks.
You hit me with a club, and I hit you with a dumbbell—that was brute force at its finest.
