The surrounding Sea King Army soldiers, caught off guard, were sent flying dozens of meters by the shockwave, their formation completely shattered.
"Hahahaha! Jimbei! It seems your title as Fish-Man Island's strongest is just an empty boast!" Hody Jones was ecstatic. Indeed! With this power, I have no rivals in the world!
"Pfft haha…" Jimbei remained silent, but Auguro, behind him, was openly laughing. Truly a frog in a well!
In the original timeline, this fool swallowed pills by the handful yet couldn't defeat Luffy, who had just set out.
And now he was looking down on Jimbei! You really don't see the Warlords of the Sea (Shichibukai) as a big deal, do you?
Forget the current Hody Jones; even Luffy, two years after setting sail, might not have been Jimbei's match!
Hearing Auguro's mockery, a streak of murderous crimson flashed in Hody Jones's eyes.
"You despicable human! After I kill Jimbei, I will make you experience the most agonizing death imaginable! To avenge the centuries of suffering of our Fish-Men!"
"Impudent!" Soi Fon's eyes widened in fury, and she was about to charge forward and crush this ant who didn't know his place.
However, Auguro restrained her with a hand.
"Don't get angry! The poor guy finally got a decent toy; we should let him enjoy himself for a bit, shouldn't we?"
In Auguro's eyes, Hody Jones was nothing more than a clown, and the events in the Fish-Man District were merely side entertainment. There was no need to care about the pathetic boasts of these pitiable wretches!
But it was precisely this indifferent, superior attitude that struck Hody Jones where it hurt most! In his mind, Auguro was no different from those malicious humans who had always looked down upon, humiliated, and slaughtered his people!
"Bastard! I'm going to kill you!" Hody Jones roared in an outburst of rage.
His body moved, charging straight toward Auguro! His anger had completely made him lose his mind.
"Hody Jones, you have a death wish!" Jimbei's face turned ashen. This man was Fish-Man Island's greatest hope! If he were injured, the entire island would face disaster!
"Fish-Man Karate: Seven Thousand Brick Roundhouse Kick!"
In that instant, Jimbei became a water-borne arrow, instantly slicing through the seawater to reach Hody Jones. A Roundhouse Kick capable of splitting seven thousand tiles was viciously aimed at his head!
Hody Jones sensed the pressure from behind him and immediately turned to face Jimbei.
"I was planning to deal with that low-life human later! Since you're so eager to die, don't blame me!" Hody Jones was filled with overconfidence. Facing Jimbei's Seven Thousand Brick Roundhouse Kick, he didn't bother to dodge, simply raising his right arm to block.
Bang!
However, an unimaginable force erupted from his arm. Hody Jones's expression instantly twisted. His body was sent flying back like a discarded rag! What a water-dwelling speedster!
"Hody Jones! Surrender immediately! Or I will not hold back any longer!" Jimbei coldly delivered his ultimatum.
"Damn you, Jimbei!" Hody Jones stood up, the malevolence in his face growing fiercer.
"Just because you managed to strike me once, you think you've won?"
"New Fish-Man Pirates, heed my command! Kill all these Sea King Army soldiers!"
At Hody Jones's order, Daruma, Zeo, and the others each swallowed two to three E.S. pills. Instantly, the New Fish-Man Pirates' strength surged, and they rushed toward the Sea King Army with savage grins.
"Agh!" With just a single clash, the regular Sea King Army soldiers were routed; almost none could take a second hit! Blood instantly stained the water crimson.
"Hahaha! I knew it! The secret treasure of Fish-Man Island is the strongest! We Fish-Men are meant to rule the world!" Seeing this, Hody Jones's confidence soared. Jimbei might be a bit difficult, but that didn't matter—he just needed to swallow more E.S. pills!
Just like his confrontation with Luffy in the original timeline, Hody Jones grabbed a large handful of E.S. pills, at least twenty or thirty! Gulp! Hody Jones swallowed all the pills at once.
In the next second, Hody Jones's body expanded further, his height reaching nearly four meters! His eyes, stimulated by the drug, turned blood-red, like the pupils of a demon. His black hair turned instantly white.
Auguro knew this was a clear sign of his life force being overdrawn. Unfortunately, Hody Jones was unaware, believing it to be a manifestation of his surging power!
"Fish-Man Karate: Extreme Ocean Drum!"
With his massive power surge, Hody Jones simultaneously threw both fists, their combined force forming a visible, colossal shockwave!
Jimbei's eyes were cold. He gently raised his right hand, and a sphere of pure water condensed in his palm. Jimbei's heavy voice slowly articulated the technique:
"Fish-Man Karate: Ultimate Secret Art: Vicious Bone Thrust!"
The water sphere blasted out, and the terrifying shockwave formed endless ripples, relentlessly grinding against Hody Jones's Extreme Ocean Drum.
"It's useless! Even if you were a former Warlord of the Sea, you are no match for me!" Hody Jones laughed arrogantly, as if the world was already in his grasp!
"Tch! That guy actually knows Jimbei was a Warlord of the Sea!" Auguro watched the farce. Hody Jones was truly a rare spectacle of a clown in the entire Grand Line!
"I have no idea where he gets the confidence to think he can defeat a Warlord of the Sea, a man chosen from tens of millions of pirates!" Even the easygoing Luffy and his crew were dead serious when facing Crocodile, even preparing to die in battle!
Jimbei was unquestionably in the solid second tier of power across the Grand Line!
Hody Jones was truly reckless to look down on such a strong opponent!
Jimbei ignored the clown. The water sphere in his hand suddenly exploded.
Boom!
Auguro clearly saw a shockwave violently shatter Hody Jones's Extreme Ocean Drum. The seawater violently flowed backward, nearly forming an underwater waterfall!
"What…" Hody Jones didn't even have time to react and was instantly pierced by the shockwave!
Pfft! A large mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth.
Stagger!
Hody Jones stumbled back two steps, his body swaying violently, but he managed to brace himself and stay on his feet!
"Damn it! I cannot lose!" Hody Jones, like a gambler who had lost his temper, grabbed a huge handful of E.S. pills, stuffed them all into his mouth, and swallowed them whole.
In the next second, Hody Jones's muscles bulged, and his veins knotted like coiling dragons. Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from him, a hint of seriousness finally appeared on Jimbei's face.
"Jimbei! Die!" Hody Jones's bloodshot eyes glared. Like a mindless beast, he ferociously lunged at Jimbei!
"Move aside, Jimbei!" Just as Jimbei was about to resort to a killer move, a calm but authoritative voice sounded from behind him.
