One Piece: My Name is Jack, I'm Very Resistant to Beating

"Ugh..."

Weevil staggered to his feet, shaking his head. It seemed that Jack's strike had taken quite a toll on him as well.

Sliiiiip...

Hearing Jack's question, Weevil sniffled, his face confused as he spoke.

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

"But you're gonna die soon!"

"Die?"

Jack glanced at the wounds on his body, stretching from his left chest down to his waist. Weevil's slash had nearly cleaved him in half.

However, thanks to his resilient skin and powerful muscles, Weevil's lethal strike hadn't even reached Jack's bones. Now, his body's strong regenerative ability was already helping the wounds slowly heal.

It was as if an invisible thread was stitching Jack's wounds together. Weevil saw this and widened his eyes in shock, pointing at Jack in disbelief.

"You...!"

"How are you doing this?"

"How am I doing this?"

Jack lowered his head, touching the gruesome scar on his chest. He looked down at the blood pooling at his feet before lifting his head again. His eyes were bloodshot.

"Wait until I kill you, then I'll tell you how I did it!"

Clang!

As Jack and Weevil continued their intense battle, Finder and the others cornered Miss Buckin at the edge of a small island.

However, Miss Buckin, though barely taller than their calves, was unfazed in the face of the towering fishmen. Leaning on her small cane, she scolded them sharply.

"What are you planning? Do you want to make a move on me?"

"That little punk Kaido must've sent you to invite me, huh?"

"Do you know the consequences of hurting me?"

Finder and his crew exchanged glances, unsure of what to do when suddenly, a voice came from the side.

"Consequences? Well, if you don't die, then there won't be any consequences!"

"But if you do die, then you'll just have to blame your bad luck. Anyway, Kaido-sama won't do anything to Jack-sama, will he?"

Rim, chewing on some wild grass, jumped down from a tree and spoke to Miss Buckin.

"Guess it's just your bad luck. I parked the ship here, but you decided to run right into it!"

"I don't know what your relationship with Kaido-sama is, but I do know it's nowhere near as close as Jack-sama's relationship with Kaido!"

"So, you'd better surrender quietly!"

Miss Buckin adjusted her sunglasses and said seriously,

"And if I say no?"

Swish!

Boom!

A slicing attack flew toward Miss Buckin's back, striking the ocean surface and sending up a splash of water. Rim, without hesitation, pointed his longsword at Miss Buckin.

Miss Buckin removed her hat, cleaned it, and softly said,

"Once Weevil kills that Jack, you won't escape!"

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Well, that's not something we need to worry about, Miss Buckin!"

"Take her aboard the ship!"

Miss Buckin gave up resisting. If it were just Finder and his crew, she might have been able to escape, but Rim's sword made it clear that she was no match for him.

From the serious expression on his face, she realized that if she tried to run, he might really kill her!

She would have to wait for Weevil to deal with Jack before anything else could happen.

As for Weevil, Miss Buckin had absolute confidence in him—he was her most perfect creation after all!

Even against that drought Jack, Miss Buckin believed Weevil would be able to handle him in no time.

After all, even the former Marine Admiral Zephyr had been easily defeated by Weevil!

However, this battle would not go as Miss Buckin had hoped. A day passed, and Weevil's situation only worsened.

Huff, huff...

Huff, huff...

Weevil, covered in flames, panted heavily, staring at Jack, who was also catching his breath, trying to steady himself.

Though Jack felt some discomfort from the pain in his chest, this fight exhilarated him more than anything else.

Weevil's devastating strike had taught Jack to be extra cautious. Now, Jack focused intently on observing Weevil's every move.

For the most part, Jack could ignore standard attacks. With his Observation Haki, he kept a close watch on Weevil's energy fluctuations, easily detecting when Weevil activated his Devil Fruit ability.

Indeed, Jack noticed something unusual: whenever Weevil used his ability, his aura became incredibly hot, and his weapon emitted a faint red glow. Upon seeing this, Jack immediately activated the Rokushiki to dodge Weevil's strikes.

After several exchanges, Weevil gave up using his 'Devil Fruit' powers, opting instead to engage in a battle of stamina and strength.

Jack, of course, was more than happy with this arrangement—fighting this way was his true passion!

After a day and night of battling, Weevil was finally worn out and weakened, unable to take Jack's attacks as confidently.

However, after being knocked down again, Weevil began to burn with a fierce fire once more.

Without Miss Buckin's interference, the flames surrounding Weevil intensified, shifting from orange to deep crimson.

As the flames completely engulfed him, a clear, bright sound rang out from within.

"Whoosh!"

"This is...?"

...

Staring at the fiery, almost Marco-like Phoenix transformation, Jack was momentarily stunned.

But with that pudgy body...

Could it be a turkey? Wait, do turkeys breathe fire?

"Ah..."

As Jack pondered, Weevil suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream. Jack's eyes widened in shock.

"Ah..."

"Mom! It hurts so much!"

"I'm in so much pain!"

"Ah..."

"Mom!"

Boom!

With Weevil's agonized cries, he slowly returned to his human form. But his left hand fell to the ground first, followed by his body, neck...

And even his head split in two, falling to the earth. His eyes were still open, filled with despair—an unsettling sight.

Jack closed his mouth, frowning at the gruesome scene.

What exactly happened to this guy?

After a careful inspection of Weevil's body, Jack noticed that the broken parts were all scars with stitching marks.

Could this guy's Devil Fruit ability have overtaxed his body's limits?

Or...

It almost seemed like his organs weren't even human!

Crack...

"Hm?"

As Weevil's body slowly reformed into an egg-like shape, Jack froze. He quickly realized what was happening and grabbed his giant tooth to smash it down.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Crash!

Jack was exhilarated, attacking the egg-shaped Weevil relentlessly. Even after the shell cracked and turned to dust, Jack continued smashing it, using his Armament Haki to burn the remnants into ashes.

It wasn't until the land itself cracked and the island split into pieces that Jack finally stopped, still grinning with excitement.

He had finally heard the sound he'd been waiting for.

"Congratulations, host!"

"Because the host hasn't chosen to draw for a long time, the system has automatically drawn for you!"

"Congratulations, host! You've obtained a Flashing Reward: Zoan-type, Mythical Beast, Bird-Bird Fruit, Suzaku Form (Advanced)!"

"Please note! If the host decides to extract or give it to someone else, the advanced effects will disappear!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"Give it to someone else?"

With a thought, Jack looked at the blazing red Devil Fruit in his hand and swallowed it without hesitation!
