Come On, Try to Kill Me!
Jack's eyes narrowed suddenly as he looked in disbelief at the sea behind him, now split in two.
In the New World, there are many powerful beings who can cut through the sea and shatter islands, but most of them require an all-out attack.
Like this guy in front of me, who could easily split the sea in two with a single blow, without the sea showing any sign of strain, Jack had only ever seen one person do this before.
That was his benefactor, Boss Kaido!
The idea had barely crossed Jack's mind when he forcibly suppressed it.
How is that possible? How could someone from the Shadow Garden, which wreaks havoc in Paradise, possibly possess the strength of Kaido?!
Ignoring the blood gushing from his severed arm, Jack gripped his longsword with his remaining arm and slashed at Ivan: "You bastard, who do you think I am? I am Jack the Drought!"
Facing Jack, whom he had severely injured, Ivan was far more relaxed than before. He easily blocked Jack's attack with a chop to the neck, glanced up at him, and a disdainful smile curled at the corner of his mouth, "I don't like looking up at people!"
The next moment, he lightly moved his hand. "Swordless Style - Release - Final Realm!"
The air in front of Jack exploded. He really didn't want to dodge Ivan's attack; he wanted to be like Kaido and take all the enemy's attacks head-on.
However, his strength is still too weak compared to Kaido's.
As soon as Ivan unleashed his invisible slash, Jack's Observation Haki began sending him constant warnings.
If you don't dodge, you'll die!
He would rather die than not confront Ivan head-on, but few people can control their instincts, and a fool like Jack is even less likely to do so!
Just before the invisible slash hit Jack, he finally knelt on the ground. The invisible slash flew right over his head, tearing his scalp and leaving a gruesome bloody mark.
This scene unfolded before everyone's eyes, and both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Beasts Pirates fell silent.
When had they ever seen Jack the Drought in such a disheveled state?
Jack realized what he had done, and his fear was finally overcome by rage. He roared in grief and fury as he charged at Ivan: "Aaaaah, I'm going to kill you!"
However, the fear was only temporarily suppressed by the rage; how could such reckless anger possibly suppress the instinctive fear forever?
The next moment, Ivan's eyes suddenly flashed with a scarlet light, and a terrifying will emanated from him, sweeping across the entire battlefield!
Like a tyrant descending upon the world, his sheer power was enough to crush all the weak.
The savage, reckless rage in Jack's eyes was instantly extinguished by Ivan's Conqueror's Haki, replaced by an instinctive fear from the depths of his soul.
His legs buckled, and he knelt down again.
Unlike last time, this time everything went black before his eyes, and he completely fainted without even a chance to struggle.
"This—this is Conqueror's Haki!"
"Damn, is this guy also a one-in-a-million champion?"
"No, Lord Jack, stand up! Stand up!"
Ignoring the Beasts Pirates' calls for Jack's name, Ivan took a step forward and appeared behind Jack's fallen body.
However, when he reappeared, he was holding a huge head.
That was none other than the head of Drought Jack.
At this moment, Drought Jack is dead!
Drought Jack died, everyone stared in disbelief at the scene.
The Four Emperors' crews had conflicting timelines in the New World, but even the Six Disasters never had any fatalities, let alone the All-Stars.
Therefore, after Drought Jack's death, everyone had a dreamlike feeling.
A moment later, everyone came to their senses, and the Beasts Pirates screamed in terror and scattered in all directions.
After regaining their senses, the Whitebeard Pirates immediately gave chase.
Not long after, Namur returned to the Shark. As he landed on the deck, he kept looking Ivan up and down, trying to discern something from Ivan.
This made Ivan quite uncomfortable, and he asked in confusion, "Mr. Namur, what's going on?"
"Oh—I'm sorry, I just didn't expect Mr. Azure Dragon to be a user of Conqueror's Haki. You also possess a kingly talent that's one in a million!"
Ivan shook his head. "Conqueror's Haki doesn't mean anything. Besides, without a strong will, how can the Shadow Garden hunt darkness?"
Namur suddenly realized that the Whitebeard Pirates' understanding of the Shadow Garden was completely wrong from the very beginning.
This is by no means a mob that only knows how to charge around with brute force.
This organization is destined to unleash a colossal wave on this ocean, a wave powerful enough to overturn the world!
Wano Country, Onigashima.
Inside a palace.
Four Emperors Kaido, held a gourd and kept chugging down his throat. "Burp----Where's the sake? Bring me some more! Hasn't that bastard Jack arrived yet? Why is it taking so long to deal with a bunch of trash?"
--
Ugh, damn Jack... hiccup Bored, so incredibly bored! Come on, someone kill me! When will this damn world finally collapse?!
Where are those people from Shadow Garden? Kill a few more Celestial Dragons for me! I want war! War!
The Beasts Pirates were already used to their leader's madness, ignoring the noisy Kaido and drinking alone.
At that moment, the Numbers Inbi, covered in blood, staggered into the hall, his face filled with terror, and cried out, "It's terrible! Boss Kaido, Brother Jack has been killed by the Azure Dragon of the Shadow Garden!"
"What did you say?" Plague Queen jumped to his feet, staring at Inbi in disbelief. "Why did Azure Dragon want to kill Jack? And what ability did he have to kill Jack?"
Inbi, looking terrified, hurriedly told everyone what had just happened.
Upon learning what had happened, Queen slammed his fist on the table, his expression contorted with rage, and said, "That idiot Jack really thought Shadow Garden could only wreak havoc in Paradise? Now look what's happened, he's dead, and he's brought us even more trouble."
Brother Kaido, this is bad! I suspect the Shadow Garden is planning to join forces with Whitebeard. If they do, it will be extremely disadvantageous for the Beasts Pirates!
However, Kaido did not hear Queen's words at all.
He hurled the gourd of wine at the top of his lungs, his roar shaking the very pillars, "Waaaaah, how did Jack die?! Hahaha, Jack was such a useless piece of trash, couldn't even keep living?"
So what if he's dead? The Beasts Pirates don't keep useless people around!
But— Azure Dragon dared to kill my men, you scum! I'll grind him all into mincemeat!
After saying that, Kaido completely ignored Queen and the others' advice, transformed into Azure Dragon, smashed through the ceiling, and charged towards the Whitebeard Pirates' territory. "Come on, let me see which of us is the real Azure Dragon!"
Come on, try to kill me!
By the time King soared into the sky, trying to stop Kaido, it was too late. Kaido had already turned into a tiny dot and disappeared into the horizon.
