One Piece: sign-in to Ryujin Jakka

Boom!

The moment their fists collided, a violent shockwave erupted—like a bomb going off in the air.

Before Jinbe could even react, Hody Jones sneered coldly.

His veiny, bulging fist suddenly swung upward with immense force.

BOOM!

The sound of a sonic boom echoed through the air.

Jinbe's jaw was struck by a force unlike anything he'd ever endured.

Pain surged through his body as he was sent flying, then crashed hard onto the ground.

It all happened too fast.

Even Fisher Tiger was left stunned, unable to comprehend what had just occurred.

In the blink of an eye…

Hody Jones defeated Jinbe with a single blow!

The sheer power behind that terrifying move made Fisher Tiger's heart tremble.

Hody spread his arms wide.

Looking at the now-distant, fallen Jinbe, Hody burst into crazed laughter.

"Jahahahaha! Did you see that?! You saw it, didn't you?! This is my power! Not even Jinbe—the Sea Knight—can stand against me! Isn't that right, Fisher Tiger?!"

Fisher Tiger's expression turned solemn.

The moment Hody's gaze locked onto him, a suffocating aura pressed down on his heart.

It was unbearable.

"Hody Jones… this power… It's not truly yours. You're burning through your own life to wield it!"

Tiger stepped forward, shouting,

"If you go get treated right now, there might still be hope. But if your body collapses completely… there'll be no saving you!"

"Burning through my lifespan? No…"

Hody smirked with bloodshot eyes.

"This power was always hidden within me! What's wrong, Tiger? Don't tell me… you're afraid?"

At that moment, Jinbe groaned and slowly climbed to his feet.

Gritting his teeth, he glared at Hody and shouted to Fisher Tiger:

"Captain! He's gone completely mad! We have to stop him now, or this will not end and only spiral into disaster!"

Fisher Tiger gave a heavy nod.

Seeing the two of them ready to fight together, Hody remained completely unfazed.

"Come on then! Fight me together! Even then, it still won't be enough!"

He then casually popped another dozen E.S. pills into his mouth.

His body swelled again—muscles rippling grotesquely, radiating the aura of a wild beast.

His eyes were glowing red, exuding a murderous, bone-chilling intent.

They couldn't give him time to take any more pills.

They had to end this—now!

Without hesitation, Jinbe launched forward.

"Sharkskin Palm Thrust!"

With explosive strength in his legs, he soared into the air.

Then, gathering all his power mid-air, he unleashed his next technique—

"Shark Tile True Punch!"

A heavy punch came crashing down toward Hody from above!

At the same time, Fisher Tiger also launched his trump card.

"Fish-Man Karate Secret Art: Sea Dominance Cannon!"

Tiger formed a dense water orb in his palm and hurled it.

The deadly projectile had enough power to pierce even Sea Kings—creatures several times larger than mountains.

It was one of the deadliest Fish-Man secret techniques.

Faced with a two-pronged assault…

Hody Jones merely grinned in response.

He bared his jagged teeth, utterly unafraid.

"Come! Let me see just how strong you really are!"

As the words left his lips, Hody vanished!

This wasn't Soru.

It was pure, raw speed—his enhanced body moving faster than the eye could follow.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Jinbe.

And then—

He raised his hand and grabbed Jinbe's punch head-on!

"Fish-Man Karate: Rough Shark!"

CRACK!!!

Jinbe's fist—one of the strongest among Fish-Men—was crushed like brittle wood in Hody's grip.

The bones shattered with ease under the overwhelming pressure.

Hody grabbed Jinbe by the arm, lifted him up—

And slammed him over his shoulder with a shoulder throw!

BOOM!!

The earth quaked beneath the impact.

Pain surged through Jinbe's entire body.

He coughed up blood, then lost consciousness on the spot.

"You're next, Fisher Tiger!"

With a casual swipe, Hody obliterated the deadly Sea Dominance Cannon.

The ease with which he dismissed the technique left Fisher Tiger in utter disbelief.

"Impossible!"

He couldn't believe it.

Hody's power, after taking those drugs, was truly monstrous.

"Impossible? Jahahaha! Tiger, the real show is just getting started!"

"Fish-Man Karate: Ocean Drum!"

Hody slammed his fist into the air, compressing the surrounding water into a dense, swirling orb the size of a fist.

The pressure inside was explosive.

"Come, Fisher Tiger. Experience the true power of Fish-Man Karate for yourself!"

That water orb—no, that water bomb—roared toward Tiger like a cannonball.

There was no time to dodge.

With no other choice, Fisher Tiger crossed his arms in front of his chest to shield himself.

But the moment it hit—

BOOM!!!

As the water bomb struck, he felt a wave of cold envelop him.

The water bomb struck with devastating force, spinning wildly.

The moment it touched his skin, an stream of blood bloomed in the air.

The orb pierced through his chest, leaving behind a terrifying, gaping hole.

The blow left him reeling.

He and Jinbe—two of the ocean's most fearsome warriors—had both fallen before Hody Jones.

Hody stood tall, brimming with unshakable confidence.

With power like this, he believed he could even defeat the Four Emperors of the New World.

He opened his arms wide, his voice dripping with madness:

"Fisher Tiger, Jinbe… you two are nothing compared to me! But I'm merciful. If you bow before me—if you acknowledge my ideals and join my crew—I'll let you live. Otherwise…"

Even with a gaping wound in his chest, Fisher Tiger did not die.

Thanks to his Fish-Man physique, he clung to life.

But the pain was unbearable.

His life force was fading fast.

Still, he gritted his teeth—

And began to rise once more from the ground…
