The physical strength he gained from his Ancient Zoan saved his life.
But his body was already covered with charred wounds.
Large sections of flesh were blasted open by lightning.
Fresh blood flowed into the sea along the long hair.
Jack stepped onto a piece of ship wreckage to support himself.
The wound is healing rapidly.
The fractured bones began to realign.
At this rate, he can recover to his peak condition in just over ten minutes.
Hancock didn't give him time.
She raised her right hand.
Lightning gathered in his palm.
A Thunder Dragon as thick as an arm instantly took shape.
" Thunder Dragon."
The Thunder Dragon shot out from her palm, instantly piercing through Jack's mammoth body!
boom!
Lightning exploded behind him.
Jack's massive body was blasted away, and the ship's deck beneath his feet shattered.
Fresh blood mixed with charred flesh spilled into the sea.
He twisted his body forcefully, trying to step on another piece of debris.
Hancock was already above him.
Lightning bolts supported her body.
Her long hair flew up in the electric light.
"Who did you just say you wanted to arrest?"
Jack suddenly looked up.
He opened his mammoth trunk, his tusks and head covered in Armament Haki.
Don't look down on me!
"I'm Jack the Drought!"
"Mere lightning can't kill Ancient Zoan user!"
The massive mammoth charged straight at Hancock.
His force pressed a dent into the sea surface.
Hancock raised her right leg.
Armament Haki covered his calves.
Lightning and the power of the Love-Love Fruit simultaneously coiled around his toes.
" Perfume Femur."
Bang!
She kicked Jack in the head.
The mammoth's tusks turned to stone instantly.
Petrification spread along the fangs toward the head.
Before Jack could break free, the lightning on Hancock's feet erupted completely.
Boom!
The two petrified fangs shattered on the spot.
Jack's head was struck hard, and his massive body plummeted from the sky, crashing into the sea.
A large amount of seawater surged hundreds of meters into the air.
The surrounding Thunder Emperor Corps members scattered simultaneously, avoiding the surging waves.
Marguerite watched Jack fall into the sea and raised her longbow.
" The Pirate Empress's strength has increased again."
"That kick just now surpassed that of an ordinary Admiral."
Another Amazon Lily warrior was also visibly shaken.
" Jack is one of the Three Calamities of the Beasts Pirates."
"With the physique of Ancient Zoan combined with Armament Haki, he couldn't even withstand a single kick from the Pirate Empress."
Baby-5 stood at the bow of the ship and did not participate in this round of attack.
She stared at the lingering lightning on the sea, her mouth slightly agape.
"She used two Devil Fruit abilities at the same time?"
Viola.
" The Love-Love Fruit and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."
That wasn't ordinary lightning.
" Hancock's strength is completely different from what it used to be."
The seawater exploded again.
Jack burst out of the sea.
As Fish-Man, he did not lose his ability to breathe despite his Devil Fruit powers.
But the seawater still left him feeling weak all over.
He had just poked his head out of the water when a gravitational pull lifted him from the sea.
The enormous mammoth's body kept shrinking.
Jack was forced to deactivate his transformation and revert to human form.
He had a bloody hole in his chest, pierced by Thunder Dragon.
Both fangs were completely shattered.
Half of his face was also dented from Hancock's kick.
Jack looked up at Hancock, his breathing becoming heavy.
He couldn't understand.
While the Pirate Empress described in the intelligence possesses the Shichibukai, she could not possibly be that powerful.
Love-Love Fruit.
Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
It also boasts a physique and Haki presence far surpassing its former self.
Neither of these changes should occur simultaneously in Hancock.
How could you possibly possess two Devil Fruit abilities?
Jack stared intently at her.
"And your Haki..."
"Why did you become so strong?"
Hancock landed back next to Uchiha Xin.
She didn't answer Jack's question, but simply took Uchiha Xin's arm naturally.
"My lord, this man's body is too robust."
"I did not kill him immediately."
That's enough.
Uchiha Xin glanced at the sea.
The Beasts Pirates ' warship sank completely.
None of the pirates on the ship survived.
Those who participated in the attack were the thirty-six Amazon Lily warriors who were among the first to receive the enhancement.
They unleashed a single lightning strike, annihilating all of Jack's men.
No one was injured during the entire incident.
The overall strength of the Thunder Emperor Corps has begun to take shape.
Jack, however, had no interest in his men.
His gaze shifted back and forth between Hancock and Uchiha Xin.
Only at this moment did he truly understand who he had unwittingly provoked.
Hancock's strength was more than enough to easily suppress him.
However, when facing Uchiha Xin, she showed none of the arrogance of Pirate Empress.
Jack couldn't imagine just how powerful Uchiha Xin was, the one who could grant Hancock such power and make her willingly stay by her side.
" Kaido will not let you get away with this!"
Jack gritted his teeth.
" The Beasts Pirates wouldn't either..."
A bright blue light shone in Uchiha Xin's eyes.
"Rebirth and Reincarnation."
A force penetrated directly into Jack's body.
Jack's voice stopped abruptly.
No new wounds appeared on his body.
But his soul was forcibly pulled out of his body.
The soul still retained Jack's appearance, its face filled with terror.
He struggled desperately.
Both hands wanted to grasp their own bodies.
However, the connection between the soul and the body has been completely severed.
"No!"
"What kind of ability is this?"
"Let me go!"
Uchiha Xin tightened his grip on his five fingers.
Jack's soul began to twist.
The cracks spread from his chest to his entire body.
"Impossible!"
"I'm Jack the Drought!"
Bang!
His soul shattered on the spot.
All the fragments were annihilated by the azure light, leaving not a trace.
Jack's body then lost its support.
The invisible force of gravity has dissipated.
The body fell into the sea and sank quickly.
Jack the Drought, one of the Three Calamities of the Beasts Pirates, has died.
[Ding! Host has successfully defeated Jack the Drought!]
[Ding! Obtained Zoan Ancient Zoan Elephant-Elephant Fruit, Mammoth Form!]
[Ding! You have obtained a special physique!]
[Ding! You have gained Observation Haki!]
[Ding! You have acquired Armament Haki!]
[Ding! Detection indicates the host possesses a higher level of physique; this special physique is automatically converted into proficiency!]
[Ding! Detection indicates the host has mastered Observation Haki; the ability is automatically converted into proficiency!]
[Ding! Host has been detected to have mastered Armament Haki. This ability is automatically converted into proficiency!]
Three forces merged into Uchiha Xin's body.
Jack's proud Ancient Zoan physique prevented any noticeable changes from appearing in his body.
The improved proficiency after the transformation still boosted his physique and dual Haki to a higher level.
The accumulation isn't huge, but its advantage lies in the fact that it has no side effects.
The power of the Elephant-Elephant Fruit was also preserved separately.
A phantom image of a mammoth appeared before Uchiha Xin.
Marguerite and the others landed back on the deck.
They saw the illusory figure and immediately surrounded it.
"Master, is this Jack's Devil Fruit ability?"
"Um."
Ancient Zoan are very rare.
