Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

Shen Jue's three-meter height is not exaggerated, and his physique cannot be called a giant, but everyone who looks at him will have the same illusion.

Suddenly, a deity appeared on the deck of this warship, a deity capable of crushing continents, deep seas, and planets.

"yes......"

The first voice emerged from the new navy.

Hoarse and trembling, as if someone had grabbed his throat and torn it open.

"It's Marshal Shen Jue!!!"

The moment that shout exploded, the entire deck of the new navy roared in unison.

Cheers and roars erupted as if from the deepest part of the chest!

That's a roar that's meant to shatter ribs and squeeze out lungs.

The new navy men's eyes turned red, and each of them pounded their fists on their own chests or the shoulder armor of their comrades next to them, making the armor clang loudly.

The new navy's swords were not drawn, and their guns were not loaded.

But the roar alone is more terrifying than a salvo of naval gunfire.

Because it is the magnetic field of people's hearts, the shockwave generated when hundreds of new naval soldiers ignited their faith at the same time.

"The Marshal has arrived!!!"

"The new Fleet Admiral Shen Jue!!!"

"Overlord!"

"The Ancient Giants!"

"Xuan Xie!"

"Everyone salute!!!"

With a whoosh, hundreds of arms simultaneously stretched out in front of the chest.

That was a custom created by the new navy: a fist slammed above the heart, making a dull thud, meaning "the heart is here, ready to be offered up for justice."

Of course, this was deliberately decided by Shen Jue, taking the custom from the Attack on Titan anime where Survey Corps soldiers offer their hearts.

Chopper stood at the very front, his half-beast form revealing sharp teeth as he grinned.

He also slammed his fist into his own hairy chest.

On the other side, the Beasts Pirates' ship suddenly fell silent.

The atmosphere was almost frozen.

The pirates behind Drought Jack, those thugs who were just howling about boarding the ship with knives and guns, now looked as if they had been doused with a bucket of ice water and thrown into an icebox and frozen for three days and three nights.

A pirate dropped his sword, and the tip pierced his own boot, but he didn't even cry out in pain.

Because his mouth was still open, but his tongue had already frozen.

The other pirate's knees began to tremble, first swaying from side to side, then bumping back and forth, and finally his whole body went limp and he knelt on the deck.

"It's...it's that monster..."

The weasel-faced pirate next to Jack was the first to break down.

His finger pointed at Shen Jue, who stood like a god or demon on the opposite warship, his whole arm trembling like a mast in a storm.

"It's Shen Jue! It's the new Fleet Admiral Shen Jue!"

"How did he get here?!"

"Isn't he at the new Naval Headquarters?!"

"It's over! It's over!"

More sounds of swords and spears falling to the ground rang out in a clattering chorus.

Pirates were retreating, their backs hitting the mast and they continued to push backward, as if that piece of wood could allow them to escape even an inch further.

Some pirates were clinging tightly to the edge of the ship's gunwale, their legs unable to support their bodies.

Drought Jack's pupils shrank to pinpoints.

His mammoth-like eyes reflected Shen Jue's figure on the bow of the opposite ship.

That name he was just mocking, that name he declared he would "never acknowledge" as an existence.

I'm standing less than 300 meters away from him now, calmly looking at him, my eyes like those of a dead man.

Jack sensed it.

He sensed the fear among his subordinates behind him.

That fear had a smell, a sour, sticky stench, seeping from every pore and soaking the entire deck of the ship.

Drought Jack felt his heartbeat change.

This is precisely the instinctive reaction of prey when it is targeted by its natural enemy.

Drought Jack's intuition was frantically warning him.

Mammoths, one of the ancient land predators, stood at the top of the food chain for millions of years.

At this moment, the Mammoth Fruit inside Jack's body is screaming a signal.

escape.

"ha......"

Drought Jack laughed.

The laughter was dry, like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing against each other.

He tried to suppress the chill in his heart with laughter, but the chill had already shot up his spine to the back of his head.

"I am Drought Jack..." Jack repeated the slogan, but his voice was much lower than before.

"The bounty exceeds one billion."

"The Three Disasters under Kaido's command."

Shen Jue moved.

He raised one hand.

The moment that hand, with its distinct knuckles, clenched into a fist, the world seemed to change color.

Shen Jue looked at Drought Jack and his men and said loudly, "The justice of the new navy is the proof of my power."

The sound echoed throughout the surrounding sea.

"Pirates, this vast ocean has no need for thugs like you."

Scream, be terrified, and then die.

The clouds parted.

It was as if it had been cleaved in two by a force that pierced through from above.

The sky, spanning several thousand meters in radius, seemed to have been shattered by an invisible hand, the clouds dissipating to reveal a pale, stark white light.

The sea began to boil.

The entire seawater was trembling and squeezing to both sides, as if something was trying to crush it through the middle.

weight.

Indescribably heavy.

Before the pirates present could even comprehend what was happening, their bodies reacted first.

Their knees slammed onto the deck, their foreheads hit the ship's planks; it wasn't that they wanted to kneel, they just couldn't stand.

The oppressive feeling was like an invisible giant hammer piercing through the top of the head and down the spine, making every bone creak.

That was Shen Jue's Conqueror's Haki, which had reached its peak.

There are many powerful individuals on this sea who possess Conqueror's Haki, but only a handful can actually wrap Conqueror's Haki around their fists and unleash a powerful punch.

And Shen Jue possesses a level of Conqueror's Haki that is comparable to this.

The domineering color that can split the heavens and tilt the seas exists only in ancient legends of sea gods.

Shen Jue didn't say another word.

He clenched his fist, pulled his arm back, and swung it out.

The movement was so simple, it was like a casual flick of the wrist.

The moment the fist was swung, a sound like shattering glass exploded in the air.

Then came the second sound, the third sound, and hundreds and thousands of sounds joined together!

That's the atmosphere itself collapsing inch by inch!

Using the trajectory of that punch as the center line, the sea surface suddenly caved in, creating a trench several kilometers wide!

"open!"

The seawater had no time to dodge and was crushed into two upright cliffs by the pure power and the ultimate Conqueror's Haki.

The force of the punch had not yet arrived.

Jack's flagship is the first to disintegrate!

The iron ram at the bow was the first to be blown to dust, followed by the deck, mast, keel, and cabins, which crumbled forward layer by layer!

Before the wood chips and iron pieces could even scatter, they were swept away by the force of the punch and slammed further back!

The punch landed outside the boat.

At the stern of the ship.

The uninhabited reef island, three kilometers behind the ship.

The island was small, only a few hundred meters in circumference. Its rocks were dark and hard, and had been battered by the waves for years.

The entire area, from the support warships to the uninhabited island, was filled with Shen Jue's Conqueror's Haki!

The island disappeared.

Completely wiped off the sea level!

It was crushed into dust by the force of that punch!

Not even a single piece of gravel the size of a fist was left!

All that remains on the surface of the sea is a huge circular hole!

Billions of tons of seawater have been created into a vacuum!

Then, seawater flowed back in, creating a water column thousands of meters high!

Like a white mushroom cloud blooming on the sea!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Jack the Drought's ship no longer exists.

Scattered planks, a few broken knife sheaths, and a few torn flags floated on the sea.

Hundreds of pirates, before they could even scream, were reduced to basic biological matter, benefiting the fish, shrimp, and plankton in the ocean.

Thanks to Shen Jue's deliberate restraint, Drought Jack is still alive.

But he's just still alive.

He lay on the only remaining piece of deck debris, his eight-meter-tall body resembling a shattered mountain.

His skin cracked inch by inch, and the enhancements from the Mammoth Fruit were swept away by the aftershocks of that punch, making him as fragile as paper.

Blood gushed from every crack in his body, staining the wooden planks beneath him dark red.

Drought Jack's eyes were still open.

The ferocity in those beastly eyes had faded, leaving only the instinct of fear.

He struggled to raise one hand, as if trying to grab something, making indistinct sounds in his throat.

"Kaido... Big Brother..."

"Run!"

Drought Jack's voice trailed off.

His hand fell limply to his side.

Jack the Drought, defeated and killed.

"He is indeed loyal and righteous."

Shen Jue stared at Jack the Drought, wanting to see what this vicious pirate would do before he died.

But unexpectedly, Jack the Drought was still calling for Kaido before he died.

"How can a weak person uphold justice to the end?"

The new navy men behind Shen Jue and Chopper were dumbfounded.

"Kaido, the strongest creature, I've come to find you," Shen Jue said in a low voice.
