One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

Before Jack could even turn around, Kitahara Tsune had already appeared above him, and at the same time, Armament Haki had wrapped around his long sword. Ryuo followed the blade's edge and slashed fiercely towards the back of Jack's neck.

No matter what kind of creature it is, the back of the neck is a vital spot. Even if the opponent's physical body is very strong, it may not be able to withstand this blow.

The opponent, relying on Observation Haki, promptly sensed the attack from behind, and suddenly twisted his body, using the thick beast-like skin on his shoulder to block the blow.

With a clang!

The blade struck the animal hide, blocked by Armament Haki, but the powerful force still caused Jack to stumble a few steps.

It even aggravated his previous internal injuries, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

The "Six Kings Spear" attack that Jack just received did cause him some damage.

Even with the vitality of an ancient species, he still suffered severe internal injuries.

"hateful!"

Jack roared, raised his trunk, and with a whistling wind, lashed it hard at Kitahara Tsune's body.

The wound on the elephant's trunk was still bleeding, but it did not affect its strength in the slightest.

Each swing of Jack's sword created a gust of wind that whipped the surrounding trees, making them rustle and even sending some small plants flying.

Kitahara Tsune was agile and, relying on his Observation Haki and the effects of the spell, he almost completely anticipated Jack's elephant trunk attack, weaving through the raging wind as if taking a leisurely stroll.

At the same time, he kept looking for openings, and his long sword would occasionally emit a blade of light, each blade of light wrapped in flowing cherry blossoms, constantly attacking Jack's wounds and vital points, gradually weakening the opponent's vitality and strength.

Although Jack was violent, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

His attacks consistently failed to hit Kitahara Tsune, and instead, he was constantly worn down by the opponent, resulting in more and more wounds on his body.

Even the body that was originally full of boundless energy gradually began to feel a little tired.

Driven to rage by the relentless barrage of blades, and with his body growing increasingly weary, Jack's bestial instincts completely overwhelmed his reason.

Seeing that he couldn't touch the swift Kitahara Tsune, he simply gave up on a head-on fight, raised his trunk and swept it wildly, smashing it hard towards the research area behind him.

A deafening roar!

The heavy steel instantly cracked and collapsed, and the hard steel was twisted into a pretzel by the elephant's trunk. Whether it was a precision instrument or a container holding materials, they all shattered one after another.

The floor was littered with shards of glass and medicine, and a pungent smell instantly filled the air.

At that moment, Jack seemed to transform into an elephant tornado, leaving the entire experimental area in ruins.

He planned to disrupt the surrounding environment, force Kitahara Tsuneo to retreat, and then use this as a means to retaliate.

Kitahara Tsune's eyes were cold, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

Kitahara Tsune's Observation Haki allowed him to see all of Jack's movements, while his figure constantly flickered to avoid the falling rocks above.

The Armament Haki on the longsword became even more intense, and even the blade itself trembled slightly under the weight.

His Armament Haki is plentiful enough to allow him to squander it at will.

However, the quality of this longsword was poor, and it was already trembling slightly, so Kitahara Tsune stopped pouring Armament Haki into it.

But Jack had completely abandoned defense and focused on offense.

The attack, with its raised trunk, made it impossible to find a rhythm to get close.

However, Kitahara Tsune was not afraid. After determining the attack frequency, he flashed forward and rushed out, appearing directly in front of Jack the instant the elephant's trunk was raised.

Seeing Kitahara Tsune charging straight at him, Jack didn't care about anything else. He instantly covered his trunk with Armament Haki and swept it straight at Kitahara Tsune.

The heavy attack finally struck Kitahara Tsune, causing him to stagger back several steps, leaving two deep gashes on the ground beneath his feet.

The elephant trunk, accompanied by a whistling sound, struck Kitahara Tsune hard. Even with the protection of Armament Haki, it still made him groan.

The strong wind that was carrying him caused the mask he was wearing to fall off his face.

Jack looked at the young face and suddenly remembered who it was and where he had seen it before. "It's you!"

Jack's voice was deep and his tone was menacing.

News came from the Sabaody Archipelago that Rein Hunt, a former Supernova member of the Beasts Pirates stationed there, was defeated by a Marine Commodore.

However, since the Beasts Pirates' headquarters are in Wano Country, they didn't have the resources to hunt down a Marine Commodore in the first half of the sea, so the matter was dropped.

However, Kitahara Tsune's portrait still reached the eyes of Rhine Hunter's superior, Jack the Big Boss.

Although Jack was surprised by the opponent's physical strength, which was no less than his own after eating an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit, it was still time for battle, so there was no time to be surprised.

He was about to swing his trunk for another blow when he discovered that his trunk was already trapped under Kitahara Tsune's entire left arm.

In his right hand, the long sword, Demon Slayer, was wrapped in Armament Haki and was constantly humming. The sound seemed to be excited, or it seemed to be overwhelmed.

The dark blade flashed through the smoke and dust, accompanied by a roar as it ripped through the air, and suddenly struck Jack's chest.

The cascading cherry blossoms instantly pierced through Jack's Armament Haki defense, carving a deep wound into his chest.

His massive body trembled violently, the ferocity in his eyes faded rapidly, and even turned white for a brief moment. His limbs could no longer bear the weight of his body, and with a thud, he knelt heavily on the ground.

The elephant's trunk slid off limply, and blood gushed from its wounds once more.

Even so, the other person's life was not over.

Kitahara Tsune coughed lightly, looking at the long sword in his hand that had developed a crack due to the excessive Armament Haki.

Ultimately, the Demon-Slaying Sword is just one of the fifty fine swords, so it's understandable that it couldn't withstand so much Armament Haki.

Just then, something fell off Jack.

With a loud crack!

Something broke.

Just then, Kitahara Tsune's entries and Observation Haki began to warn him. He suddenly retreated and appeared outside the experimental area, observing from a distance.

Just a few seconds after he stepped back, a wisp of pale purple smoke billowed out.

Everything around that came into contact with the smoke sizzled, as if it were being corroded.

"Is that poison? Or some kind of chemical substance?"

Kitahara Tsune narrowed his eyes, watching the smoke slowly spread.

If he wasn't mistaken, this was something Quinn had given to Jack.

Just like in the original story, Jack attacked the Mink Tribe, and after five days of fighting without a clear victor, he finally defeated them with the poison left behind by Queen.

"Kitahara Tsuneo, is that it? I'll remember you. You just wait!"

From within the pale purple smoke came Jack's menacing voice.

If sound could kill, Kitahara Tsune would probably have died several times over.
