Jack Slashed Down, One Strike Splits the Sea!
Jack was completely unconcerned by their gazes; on the contrary, he seemed to enjoy them.
The powerlessness of the weak is the proof of the strength of the strong!
However, just as Jack was preparing to return to the Beasts Pirates' territory, his subordinate suddenly shouted, "Lord Jack, something's wrong! I see that Namur's ship coming—wait, there's a guy wearing an Azure Dragon mask on his Shark!"
"Azure Dragon Mask, could it be someone from Shadow Garden? Could it be that Whitebeard and Shadow Garden are colluding?" a clever pirate pondered.
Upon hearing this, Inbi Numbers, who had joined Jack in the attack on Whitebeard, suggested to Jack, "Lord Jack, let's retreat! That's Shadow Garden!"
However, Jack showed no sign of retreating; his eyes were bloodshot and filled with madness.
He grabbed Inbi by the collar and demanded, "You damn bastard, who do you think I am? I'm Jack the Drought!"
What's so special about Shadow Garden? Get closer, I'm going to take on two of you at once!
"Lord Jack— " Inbi wanted to persuade him further, but Jack glared at her, and she dared not say another word to stop him.
The Mammoth's movements caught Ivan's attention, and he kindly asked, "Namur, do you need my help? That guy is the Drought of the All-Stars, right? He probably can't handle it."
Namur stared ahead, his eyes blazing with uncontainable fury. "That guy actually killed so many brothers! Mr. Azure Dragon, please don't interfere; the Whitebeard Pirates can handle this on their own!"
Ivan nodded, not refusing. However, he sensed that Namur was no match for Jack, and if Namur to be defeated, he would intervene to save Namur.
Unlike Big Mom and Kaido, Whitebeard explicitly forbade his Whitebeard Pirates from plundering civilians. The civilians living under Whitebeard's rule were far happier than those living under the World Government.
If possible, Ivan would indeed like to recruit the Whitebeard Pirates; they are a tremendous force!
Soon, the Shark and the Mammoth came to board each other, and the two groups of pirates immediately clashed.
The battlefield where Namur fought Jack was the most eye-catching.
The two clashed, their Armament Haki clashing repeatedly, and the aftershocks could easily tear other pirates to shreds.
If they hadn't actively controlled the area of engagement, the two ships would probably have been torn to shreds by the aftershocks of their battle.
Because of Namur's prior instructions, Ivan did not make a move, but the Beasts Pirates were oblivious and took the initiative to provoke him.
One of the pirates, with yellow skin and blond hair, appeared before Ivan, grinning maliciously and saying, "Hahahaha, are you from the Shadow Garden? You don't look very strong."
Ivan recognized the person as Juki, the Numbers of the Beasts Pirates, who was no weakling in the New World: "That's right, I am the Azure Dragon of the Shadow Garden. What brings you here?"
The Juki's eyes were filled with murderous intent as they stared intently at Ivan: "Hmph, an organization that can only bully others in Paradise dares to step into the New World? Let your Grandpa Juki tell you that the New World is not a place where you guys can easily trespass!"
Juki - Purgatory Bombardment!
The Juki's wrists were covered in black, and their bodies transformed into afterimages as they charged toward Ivan.
During the journey, some of Namur's crew members tried to stop him, but he easily defeated them.
Soon, the Juki approached Ivan, arrogantly shouting, "You so-called strongmen of Paradise, die with your doubts and cowardice! The New World is not a place for bastards like you to intrude!"
"Is that so?" Ivan merely smiled dismissively at the taunts of the Juki. A faint black Inazuma flashed and struck the Juki precisely.
The next moment, the once arrogant and domineering Juki rolled their eyes back, their legs gave way, and they fainted.
This scene immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd, who exclaimed in disbelief, "What on earth did Azure Dragon do? Why did the Juki suddenly collapse?"
"Lord Juki! Damn it, defeat that despicable Azure Dragon! He must have used some kind of trick to knock Lord Juki unconscious!"
Next, a group of Beasts Pirates rushed towards Ivan, but without exception, they all fainted as soon as they got within ten meters of Ivan.
Gradually, the Beasts Pirates dared not approach. The area within ten meters of Ivan seemed to be a death zone; if they got too close, their souls would be instantly harvested.
Suddenly, a comical scene unfolded: in the chaotic battlefield, Ivan found himself surrounded by a deserted area!
In the distance, the battle between Namur and Jack was gradually coming to a conclusion.
Jack was, after all, one of the All-Stars, the Drought, Namur, the captain of the Eighth Division, was no match for him.
Jack slashed out with his blade, leaving a horrific scar on Namur's chest. He roared, "Namur, die!"
Witnessing this, the pirates on the Shark cried out in terror, "No, Captain!"
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Namur, and lightly drew a line in front of him with his finger.
The next moment, an invisible slash shot out and collided with Jack's slash in an instant.
Jack's attack was immediately stopped, and his body was sent flying backward, almost falling into the sea.
"Namur, should I help?" Ivan asked with a smile Namur at the crucial moment.
Namur couldn't help but smile wryly, clutching the scar on his chest, and said without feigning reluctance, "Thank you, Mr. Azure Dragon. I'll leave the rest to you!"
Ivan nodded, placed Namur on the deck, and then jumped onto the mammoth ship.
As soon as he appeared, Jack charged at him again, roaring, "You bastard, how dare you ambush me!"
Jack is Ancient Zoan Devil Zoan user who ate an Ancient Zoan, and his strength is among the best even in the New World.
Moreover, he was already quite large, and few people dared to stand still and take his attacks head-on.
However, Ivan was one of them!
He stood there, expressionless, waiting for Jack to arrive. His right hand formed a sword, covered in Haki, and he slowly slashed it down from top to bottom. "Swordless Style: Release - Empty Slash!"
Click, click!
An invisible slash, originating from Ivan, hurtled forward at breakneck speed!
The Mammoth was immediately cut open, revealing the seawater beneath. However, some pirates noticed that even the seawater below was cut open as well!
The rift expanded rapidly, rushing towards Jack. At that moment, Jack's Observation Haki sensed an unprecedented danger, a sense of danger as if he were standing in front of a lava volcano, where he could be obliterated by a terrifying natural disaster at any moment!
So, the stubborn Jack finally managed to dodge, but it was too late.
A hand flew out, dripping with blood, but no one cared about Jack's lost left arm.
Because everyone stared in astonishment at the spot behind Jack!
There, the Mammoth was completely split in two, along with the sea behind it!
