Failed Zoan Awakening

"Moo~"

An angry bull's cry.

Just as Domino continued to show Wilton around, the four previously stunned Jailer Beasts went berserk. The Minotauros, wielding a giant mace, quickly appeared behind Wilton and raised it high before bringing it down with a mighty crash.

Sadi was their commander.

With their commander defeated, their first reaction, due to their limited intelligence, was to counterattack. Otherwise, they would be in for a rough time if Sadi woke up and found them standing by idly.

Powerful and heavy.

With a loud bang, Wilton blocked the attack with his dumbbells, his feet sinking deep into the hard ground. Even his upper body bent slightly. He looked up at the angry bull's eyes with a hint of surprise.

Very strong.

Soon, Wilton exerted force, pushing the mace away and causing the Minotauros to stumble backward uncontrollably.

But just as he was counterattacking, he was enveloped by three massive shadows from his left, right, and front. The Minotaur Rhino, Minotaur Koala, and Minotaur Zebra, three other Jailer Beasts, also attacked.

"Feverish Spin."

Wilton's blood boiled, and his fighting spirit surged. He wanted to experience the terror of an awakened Zoan firsthand. He wanted to see whose blood was thicker and who could take more hits.

The air roared.

Two massive AOE slash waves spread out like a tidal wave, immediately blocking the weapons of the three Jailer Beasts. Wilton disappeared quickly, reappearing above the Minotaur Koala.

"Explosive Double Axes."

Wilton unleashed his full power. Two dumbbell phantoms, hundreds of meters tall and wrapped in Armament Haki, appeared behind him and smashed down with the force of a mountain collapsing.

The Minotaur Koala let out a scream. Its massive body collapsed onto the ground, causing the surface in all directions to crack and form large pits.

Another leap.

Wilton appeared above the Minotaur Zebra and Minotaur Rhino, smashing down with all his might. He showed no mercy, intending to kill them outright.

He wanted to see how durable an awakened Zoan truly was.

Boom boom boom!

The entire Infernal Hell seemed to tremble. With the powerful shockwaves spreading, the three Jailer Beasts finally lay in the large pits, their foreheads bleeding profusely.

"Tekkai!"

Just then, the Minotauros found an opening. It gripped its mace with both hands and swung it down with immense strength. Wilton's muscles bulged, and he met the attack head-on with his dumbbells.

In an instant.

The two immense forces collided with the power of thunder. Wilton felt his hands go numb, and he took three steps back, each leaving a distinct footprint. The Minotauros on the other side did the same.

And its dim-witted face was filled with confusion.

It couldn't understand how this thin, short man possessed such great strength, enough to block its mace.

That's right.

In its eyes, Wilton was a thin, short man, as the size difference between them was threefold.

Moo moo moo.

The Minotauros snorted and roared loudly. It spread its arms, its aura becoming even more ferocious. It felt provoked and charged at Wilton with murderous intent.

Wilton also let out a defiant roar and charged towards the Minotauros.

He loved this kind of head-on, close-quarters combat the most.

Deafening metal collisions, sparks flew between the dumbbells and the mace, followed by a flurry of afterimages. Wilton and the Minotauros swung their weapons at the fastest speed, engaging in a close-range, head-on slugfest.

Waves of energy spread out from the center of the man and the bull. The thick, solid ground beneath their feet began to crack continuously.

In a flash.

The Minotauros' mace was knocked aside. Wilton, gripping his dumbbells tightly, delivered an uppercut, sending the Minotauros flying towards the ceiling of Infernal Hell.

Just as Wilton was about to pursue, the Minotaur Rhino, wearing overalls, appeared. Blood flowed from its forehead, and it snorted. The damage Wilton had inflicted earlier had already healed.

It swung two small maces. Wilton retaliated.

At this moment, danger struck from his left and behind, from the Minotaur Koala and Minotaur Zebra. Without a word, Wilton used Feverish Spin, forcefully repelling the bear and the zebra.

But a wind blew from above. The Minotauros, its mouth full of blood, descended from the sky, its mace held in both hands and smashing down ferociously. However, Wilton reacted quickly, raising his right dumbbell to block.

A barrage of gravel.

Wilton fell to one knee. Before he could stand up, the Minotaur Rhino suddenly appeared and struck his chest squarely with its mace. With a deafening thud, Wilton turned into a streak of light, crashing through numerous prisoner convicts before smashing into the wall, sending up a cloud of dust and debris.

Over here.

The Minotaur Koala and Minotaur Zebra shook their heads and stood up, weapons in hand, beside the Minotauros and Minotaur Rhino. These four Jailer Beasts were like an army of undead monsters.

"Stop."

Domino couldn't watch any longer and tried to intervene.

At the same time, she was once again shocked by Wilton's strength. Facing four Jailer Beasts, he was still handling them with ease. It was known that even pirates with bounties worth hundreds of millions would only be chased by any single one of these Jailer Beasts.

This was because the Minotauros and the other three had terrifying durability, recovery, and stamina. Unless all four were defeated at once, they could get back on their feet in just a few minutes.

"Chief Jailer Domino, please don't stop them."

Wilton emerged from the thick smoke, looking a bit disheveled, but he was no slouch when it came to taking hits.

As soon as he spoke.

Wilton couldn't wait and leaped up like a missile, smashing towards the four Jailer Beasts. Today, he was going to fight all four.

Collisions echoed.

Although Wilton appeared human on the surface, to Domino and the assembled jailer criminals, he was a ferocious beast in human skin, no different from those four Jailer Beasts.

A dumbbell swept away the Minotaur Rhino, and coming straight at him was the Minotauros's spiked club. He narrowly dodged with a backflip, and to his side was the Minotaur Koala with its tiger claws.

One hit landed on his waist.

Amidst a shower of metallic sparks, Wilton was sent flying, tumbling across the ground. But he had no time to catch his breath. The Minotaur Zebra descended from the sky, its timing perfect.

"Moo!"

Just as Wilton dodged the Minotaur Zebra's attack and prepared to counter, the Minotaur Rhino transformed into a locomotive, charging at Wilton with terrifying thunderous speed.

"Dumbbell Impact."

Wilton was under immense pressure, but he was enjoying it.

A hundred-meter-wide Dumbbell Impact wave forcefully halted the Minotaur Rhino. Following that, Wilton used Explosive Double Axes to deliver a mighty chop, instantly pinning the Minotaur Rhino to the ground.

At this moment, a spiked club, tiger claws, and a wolf's hammer came flying at him, their momentum like a rainbow, swift as lightning, leaving Wilton no chance to dodge.

The air exploded.

Wilton doubled over and spat blood. Even with Tekkai and Armament Haki at full power, he couldn't completely resist the force. He was immediately sent flying like a cannonball, sparks and lightning trailing behind him, finally embedding himself deep within a wall of steel.

Bang bang bang!

Not long after.

The entire Infernal Hell was in chaos. Wilton was like an unkillable cockroach, tough and unyielding, fighting the four Jailer Beasts from west to east.

Wherever he went, there was devastation.

Many jailers and convicts were forced back into their cells, watching the brutal battle in the center like spectators. The one man against four beasts fought without any evasion, all out, straightforward attacks.

You hit me with a club, I hit you with a dumbbell, a true display of brute force.
