258 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Jack looked at Doflamingo, whose sunglasses had been shattered, and spoke softly:

"Why didn't you call me sooner?"

"Doffy, I wasted so much time training you, and yet you still got beaten to this extent."

"How pathetic. I told you before—losers have no future."

Boom!

With a powerful push from his legs, Jack leaped into the air. When he landed, he had transformed into a massive, flame-engulfed elephant. Upon seeing this, Law couldn't help but yell at Luffy:

"We need to run!"

"Huh?"

"Run! Your grandpa is no match for him!"

"Ah..." Luffy's eyes sparkled as he stared at Jack in his gigantic elephant form.

"He's so big! And so cool!"

"Move it, Straw Hat!" Law urged.

Jack lowered his head and took a step back before finally noticing Garp.

From the moment Jack appeared, Garp had remained silent, his fists clenched tightly. Even as Jack's massive foot nearly crushed him, Garp didn't react. Only now did he raise his head and shout:

"You're responsible for Smoker's death, aren't you?!"

"Huh? Smoker? The only 'Smoker' I know is Stockholm Syndrome!"

"Don't play dumb, Jack!"

"Koby died at your hands! And now you're part of this mess, too!"

"New grudges, old grudges—we'll settle them all right here!"

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, Garp launched his iron fist at Jack's leg. However, the moment his punch landed, something felt off. In the past, his attacks at least made Jack feel pain, but now... it was like a child throwing a tantrum against an adult.

This was an absolute gap in physical power!

Boom!

A dangerous sensation ran up Garp's spine, making his hairs stand on end. He swiftly dodged to the side just as Jack's massive trunk slammed into the spot where he had just stood.

"That speed..."

"Impossible!"

Boom! Boom!

Jack swung his trunk repeatedly, but Garp managed to avoid each strike. Slowly, Jack's colossal form began to shrink as he reverted to his human shape.

"Looks like my size is slowing me down too much."

"I'll fight you in my human form instead."

Garp's hair was drenched in sweat. Those attacks had forced him to go all out just to evade them. He didn't know how Jack had become so agile despite his massive frame, but it was terrible news for him.

Before, Jack had been overwhelmingly strong, but at least Garp could use his own agility to counter him. Now, with Doflamingo's Birdcage restricting his movement, retreat was no longer an option. If he didn't take down Jack—

Boom!

"Urgh!"

A devastating punch sent Garp flying. Before he could recover, Jack suddenly appeared behind him and struck down with another blow.

Boom!

After taking the brunt of the attack, Garp struggled to his feet, his face filled with shock.

"Tsk, old man."

Jack stood in front of him, mocking him:

"What's with that look?"

"Still not retired at your age? What's the point?"

"Whitebeard is dead. You relics of the old era should step aside already."

"I..."

Boom!

"Hmph?"

"Hell Drop!"

Boom! Boom!

With a powerful punch, Garp sent Jack soaring into the sky, then grabbed him and slammed him into the ground. The impact caused a massive rockslide, reducing the mountain and the castle atop it to rubble.

Boom!

Garp landed heavily on the ground, and the ongoing battle momentarily halted as everyone turned to stare in shock.

"Vice Admiral Garp! Watch out!"

Boom!

"Thunder Bagua!"

Splurt!

Jack's spiked club smashed into Garp's abdomen, embedding him into the stone. Without hesitation, Jack grabbed Garp and lifted him into the air.

Garp's consciousness was fading. The sheer power of Jack's attack had fractured several of his ribs and caused severe internal injuries. Blood dribbled endlessly from his mouth. Seeing Garp in such a state, Jack shook his head, tossed him into the air, and then turned toward the sky.

Boom!

Doflamingo, lying on the ground, watched as Garp crashed beside him. He struggled to his feet and staggered toward Garp, just as Garp's eyes slowly opened.

"Vice Admiral Garp!"

"Vice Admiral Garp was defeated!"

"That's the Marine Hero Garp?! He was beaten just like that?!"

"Run! Run! Run!"

A wave of panic spread through the pirates as they desperately fled in all directions.

...

Meanwhile, high above, Jack spotted Caesar and the group escorting him.

"Lord Jack! Save me!"

Thud!

As Jack closed in, the group noticed him. Before Caesar could celebrate, Sanji silenced him with a swift kick.

"Usopp! Robin! Chopper! Keep moving with Caesar!"

"Barry, let's go!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The moment Jack landed, he was met with fierce attacks from Sanji and Barry. As their assault ended, the two men stood on guard.

Swish!

Boom!

"Barry!"

Jack stomped down mercilessly, crushing Barry beneath his foot. Without a trace of emotion, he said:

"I don't care if you like playing with ropes, but you picked the wrong opponent."

"And you! That actually hurt!"

"What?!"

Boom!

"Sanji!"

Jack's club came down hard, knocking Sanji unconscious. As Sanji's limp body fell, Jack opened his mouth and spat out a broken tooth, sending it hurtling toward Robin and the others.

Splurt!

Usopp pushed Robin aside, taking the hit himself. Clutching his chest, he gasped, coughing up blood.

"Usopp!"

Boom!

Jack landed in front of them, his gaze ice-cold as he spoke:

"Hand over Caesar."

"Usopp!"

"Gomu Gomu no—"

Splurt!

"Agh!"

Another shattered tooth struck Luffy mid-air, causing him to plummet to the ground. Jack watched as Luffy's fist shrank back down and smirked.

"You've got quite the Devil Fruit."

"With that, you wouldn't have to worry about dating a giant woman."

Swish!

"Huh?"

Before Caesar knew what was happening, he had been pulled to Jack's side. As Jack raised his club to strike, Usopp pulled out a still-beating heart and shouted:

"Stop! Or I'll crush it!"

"Luffy! Everyone! Run!"

"Run! Run! Run!"

"We can't beat a monster like this!"
