Jujutsu Kaisen: I have everything I need now!

Toyama Bay.

On the first day of December, he stood on the edge of the abandoned industrial area, his feet on the cracked concrete.

The sea breeze carried a salty, fishy smell.

"The location is alright."

Zhenyi climbed onto an abandoned water tower and set up the "Black Queen". She lay on the steel plate and scanned the coastline through the scope.

"The view is good; you can see three kilometers away."

He did not reply on the first day of the twelfth month. He stared at the distant sea, his eyes gleaming with golden light.

The waves are surging.

"Gojo-sensei, is the barrier set up yet?" Maya asked, pressing her earpiece.

"Wait five more minutes," Gojo Satoru's voice came through the communicator. "This barrier is a bit special; we need to make sure she can't get out once she's inside."

On the first day of December, he flexed his wrist, and his knuckles made a cracking sound.

"She's here."

The voice just fell.

The sea exploded.

A column of water shot into the sky, reaching a height of over fifty meters. The water column twisted and swirled in mid-air, finally coalescing into a human shape.

Basha stepped on a waterspout and slowly landed thirty meters from the coastline.

Her scales shimmered with a ghostly blue light, and her vertical pupils stared intently at the new moon of December.

"Thief," her voice shrill, "are you ready to die?"

December 1st did not respond. He simply clenched his fist, and a faint golden light shone from his body.

"Enough with the nonsense."

Bazaar smiled.

"Pretty tough, huh? Well then, I'll see just how good you really are, you thief."

She raised her right hand and waved it towards the sea.

The seawater seemed to come alive.

A dozen thick columns of water shot up from the ground, transforming into enormous water serpents in mid-air. The bodies of these serpents were entirely composed of high-pressure seawater, covered with a thin layer of ice.

"go."

"Bazaar said softly."

The water pythons all turned around and pounced towards the first day of the twelfth lunar month.

"【rabbit】!"

On the first day of the twelfth month, he pushed off with his feet and his figure disappeared instantly.

The ground was trampled into a deep pit, and gravel flew everywhere.

The first anaconda missed its target, its massive head slamming into the ground and collapsing an abandoned factory building. Debris from reinforced concrete rained down.

The first day of the twelfth lunar month flipped in mid-air.

"【dragon】!"

A fireball condensed in his palm before being slammed into the second water python.

boom!

The high temperature instantly evaporated the serpent's head, and white steam shot into the sky.

But the python did not die.

New seawater quickly gushed from its broken neck, and in the blink of an eye, its head grew back.

"It's useless." Basha stood at a distance and sneered, "In my domain, water cannot kill."

She waved again.

More columns of water shot into the sky, transforming into various aquatic creatures. Sharks, octopuses, sea urchins... they surged in from all directions, surrounding the new moon.

At the top of the water tower, Zhenyi gritted her teeth.

Those water creatures were too fast and too numerous for her to find an opportunity to shoot.

"Damn it..."

"Mayi."

The sound of the new moon came through the headset.

"Ignore these grunts. Keep an eye on Basha, and wait for me to create an opening."

May took a deep breath and adjusted the direction of the scope.

In the footage, Basha is still standing on the sea, manipulating the water-based creations with her hands. Her expression is relaxed, even with a playful smile.

The first day of the twelfth month dodges and weaves amidst the siege of the water's creations.

His speed was astonishing; the attacks always grazed his body by the narrowest of margins.

But he did not retaliate.

He is waiting.

Basha frowned.

"Are you stalling for time?"

She clenched her fists tightly.

All the water-based creatures simultaneously ceased their attacks; their bodies began to melt, converging and compressing in mid-air to eventually form a giant water sphere.

The water sphere is over fifty meters in diameter and its surface glows with an eerie blue light.

"Go to hell."

Bazaar launched with both hands.

The water balloon was thrown down towards the first day of December.

On the first day of December, I looked up at the water sphere that blotted out the sky.

He smiled. "This is what I've been waiting for."

Hands clasped together.

"【Tiger】."

An invisible wave spread out.

The water sphere suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then—

collapsed.

The internal balance was broken, and the rapidly spinning water blades began to collide and cancel each other out. The structure of the water sphere disintegrated in an instant, turning into a rain of water.

"Bang!"

Instantly, gunshots rang out.

The black energy blast tore through the air and struck Basha precisely in the chest.

"Pfft!"

The energy blast pierced through her body, exploding a huge hole in her back.

Basha let out a piercing scream as her body flew backward and crashed heavily onto the sea.

The seawater exploded, splashing water dozens of meters high.

"Hit!" Mayu roared from the water tower.

But there was no relaxation on the first day of December.

He stared at the sea, his eyes serious.

"It's not over yet."

The seawater began to churn.

Basha slowly stood up from the water. The wound on her chest was healing at a visible speed, with seawater constantly flowing into the wound and filling in the missing flesh.

"good."

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her vertical pupils burning with fury.

"You have successfully angered me."

She opened her arms.

The sea level began to sink.

No, it's not sinking.

It's seawater being pumped out.

The seawater within a radius of several kilometers rushed towards Basha, forming a giant water wall hundreds of meters high behind her.

The surface of the water wall was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the dim sky.

"From now on, I'll be serious."

Basha's voice turned low.

"Thief, let me see what else you've got up your sleeve."

Take a deep breath on the first day of December.

The power of the runes within his body was fully mobilized.

The dog's defenses cover its entire body.

The ox's incredible strength caused its muscles to swell.

The explosive energy of the dragon burned in his fists.

His eyes shone with a brilliant golden light.

"bring it on."

With that, he pushed off with his feet and shot towards Basha like a cannonball.

At the same time, Bazaar also waved her hands.

The hundred-meter-high water wall collapsed with a deafening roar, slamming down towards the new moon.

The two forces collided in mid-air.

"Boom!"

The deafening explosion echoed throughout Tosan Bay.

The violent shockwave spread outwards, overturning buildings one by one in the abandoned industrial area.

Zhenyi clung tightly to the steel frame of the water tower to avoid being blown away by the shockwave.

"Shuo!"

She strained to find the figure of December 1st through the scope.

The smoke and dust cleared.

On the first day of the twelfth month, he knelt on one knee on the ground, his whole body soaked in sweat.

His white shirt was torn in several places, and there was a deep wound on his shoulder, with blood dripping down his arm.

But he was still standing, a milky white halo surrounding him.

On the other side, Basha was in an even worse situation.

Her left arm was gone, leaving only a broken end from which seawater continued to gush out.

The two looked at each other.

The air was thick with the stench of blood and the salty smell of the sea.

"interesting."

Basha licked her lips.

"It's been a long time since I've encountered such an interesting opponent."

On the first day of December, he stood up and shook the blood off his hands.

"Likewise."

He grinned.

"However, the warm-up is over."

"The real battle begins now."
