"So it was an explosion...?"

When Zoina was first attacked by the Sheer Heart Attack, she was surprised that a small car could produce an explosion like dynamite, but that was all she felt. Although the timing of the self-destructing car caught Isana somewhat off guard, she still instinctively used her fish tail to block the attack.

"Is this all your counterattack is?" Isana turned and looked at Jilan with a cold smile. "If this is all you're relying on, then I'm completely relieved, because you pose absolutely no threat to me!"

"Come on, can you use your imagination? If this is my trump card, you're underestimating me, and you're underestimating that girl who threatened to take you down with the reactor in her chest..." Even at this moment, Jilan didn't forget to throw the blame on others.

Isana paused for a moment. "So it was that girl's self-destructing car... The design was quite ingenious, but it's completely useless!"

They're just disposable tools. As long as I'm on guard, no matter how many there are, they can't threaten me!

Jilan didn't say anything more and silently rushed forward.

"How ungrateful!" A surge of anger welled up in Isana's heart. That stubborn look in his eyes, like that rabbit's, was the thing he hated most! Just as he was about to teach this still ungrateful fellow a lesson with his fish tail, a warning suddenly appeared in his mind. Danger was coming from behind him—it was that toy car again!

There was no time for him to hesitate. He decisively turned around and used his tail to block the car. He thought the car, which had already fallen apart in the explosion, exploded again. Instantly, a wave of scorching heat rushed towards him!

"Hamon Overdrive!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jilan flipped over the fish tail and swung his fist hard at Zoina's face. Although Zoina raised her arm to block, Jilan's fist still made intimate contact with her face. In the blink of an eye, he flew out with the fish tail and crashed into the cabin entrance!

"My Sheer Heart Attack is the best in the world!"

Jilan was about to follow, the car roared and sped ahead. To avoid getting caught in the crossfire, Jilan deliberately kept her distance.

Explode.

Continuous explosions.

The Sheer Heart Attack circled around Isana, emitting a series of "boom, boom, boom--" sounds. He let out a loud laugh, as if venting his anger, or as if demonstrating that explosions are art and caliber is justice. The continuous explosions echoed across the deck, like thunder roaring in the sky, or like raging, Rage waves. The enormous sound shook the entire cruise ship, and the sound never stopped!

"This thing is really tough..." Jilan exclaimed as she grabbed the flagpole beside her to steady herself. After all, this was a cruise ship at sea, and the explosion and the roar of the sea created a strange chemical reaction, producing an earthquake powerful enough to shake the entire ship.

Generally speaking, waves of this magnitude only require skilled crew members to control the ship from the wheelhouse to keep it stable. But this time, for some reason, it seemed as if no one was controlling the ship at all, and no effective operation was performed at all.

Jilan, who was on the deck experiencing the wind, rain, vibrations, and earthquakes, felt this very deeply.

The explosions, which seemed to go on for three days and three nights, suddenly stopped. Just as the Sheer Heart Attack was enjoying its explosions, it was suddenly struck by a fish tail, like a golf ball being hit hard by a club. The tank was sent flying high into the sea!

"Help! I can't swim!" The Sheer Heart Attack yelled at Jilan.

"I knew it..." Jilan sighed, glanced at the flagpole beside him, and ran up the flagpole with his feet leaving Hamon. When the tank flew to his side, he stomped his foot and twisted his body with the reaction force. Like Conan's most frequently used combo to defeat the boss, his foot, flashing with golden Hamon, kicked the soccer ball called the tank!

"Hamon Overdrive - Shooting Style!"

With a spontaneous shout from Jilan, the chariot, carrying a powerful shockwave, twisted and shot towards Isana again. Spinning all the way, it struck Isana's fish tail, which she had been using to shield herself, in an instant. The force of the impact caused the tail to bounce back close to Isana's body, like a shooting star. The chariot exploded spectacularly at its finish line – "Stella!"

Just as All Might used more than 100% of his power when fighting the Nomu, the Sheer Heart Attack, with the help of Jilan, also broke through its original explosive intensity. It was as if this attack had exceeded the limit of the fish tail's ability to withstand it. Isana was not able to completely block this attack. She spat out a mouthful of blood and crashed into the cabin again!

"The target is still alive, continue the elimination--" The Sheer Heart Attack was very excited. It was the first time it had encountered such a tough enemy, and the first time it had been able to let itself have its fill. Although it had been kicked away by its master earlier, which made it a little resentful, it had had a lot of fun exploding earlier, so it wouldn't complain!

"Wait," Jilan stopped it. "At this angle, I might not be able to catch you next time you get knocked away. Try it if you want to get wet."

The Sheer Heart Attack immediately slumped. Although its explosion was conceptual, without any physical substance like gunpowder, it still disliked its body getting wet. Although it was drizzling and the outer shell was still relatively intact, the inside wasn't wet. But if it got into water, its wheeled design wouldn't allow it to climb out on its own...

Not long after, when Isana struggled out of the cabin, blood mixed with rainwater streamed down his clothes, making him look disheveled, but his eyes still gleamed with a sharp light.

Smelling the gunpowder in the air, Isana glared angrily at Jilan Jiyu, who was leisurely standing to the side wiping his watch face with a handkerchief. She gritted her teeth and said, "Jilan Jiyu, why is this thing so hard? Why can it explode repeatedly!"

Generally speaking, Quirk involves various changes to one's body. While it may grant the ability to manipulate things from a distance, the physical object itself would never possess such power!

Jilan Jiyu raised his head, looked at the numerous wounds on Isana's enormous fish tail, and smiled, saying, "This is black technology that your outdated mind cannot comprehend. Perhaps it can resolve your doubts on IIsland Island. However, you don't seem to be a guest they invited. What's wrong, Ocean Ruler, Rabbit's defeated foe, Isana who clamored to kill me? Are you planning to surrender?"

Jilan had no intention of killing Isana, not because he didn't want to, but because he simply couldn't.

His Killer Queen's Quirk were temporarily ineffective against her; the Sheer Heart Attack was consistently defended by his fishtail. Although he managed to injure Isana a few times by surprise, it was clear that these attacks were not fatal. Once Isana launched the Sheer Heart Attack, which had a slow reaction time, into the sea, only Jilan would be able to launch an effective attack against her.

Unable to inflict a fatal blow, Jilan's most pressing thought at this moment was for the opponent to surrender. Of course, it didn't necessarily mean surrender; as long as the opponent stopped attacking him and left, that would be considered a victory.
