178 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Clang!

Jack's spiked mace clashed against Garp's fist, the sheer force of impact making the sharp spikes flatten as though they'd been hammered down.

Garp's fist, coated in Armament Haki, didn't yield an inch to the massive, weapon-hardened teeth of Jack's mace.

Jack grinned through gritted teeth. Once or twice, he could brush it off. Three or four times, he could manage. But every single time? This old man just kept using his bare fists to block his attacks like it...

177 One Piece: My Name is Jack

The name of the Marine Hero, Garp, was one that Jack had heard countless times before.

Garp had made his name long before Jack was even born. In the early days, his fame was as resounding as Whitebeard's, shaking the seas with every tale of his exploits.

Older pirates would speak of him with fear, their voices trembling as they recounted stories. Even Kaido, who was otherwise unshakable, spoke of Garp with a tone of respect.

Though no one really understood why Garp had remai...

176 One Piece: My Name is Jack

It turned out Jack was still too young and naive—Kaido's sharp eye for talent was as reliable as ever.

Ginrummy was quite capable. Despite her petite frame, she possessed agility paired with decent strength—a rare combination, not just among women but even compared to most men. Although she couldn't hold a candle to Yamato, with some training, she could become a mid-level officer.

As for Sheepshead, he was even stronger than Ginrummy. With proper guidance, he could at least ma...

175 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Hearing Jack's shout, several fishmen surfaced from the ocean.

"Jack-sama!"

"You're awake! That's a relief!"

Jack immediately addressed the leading fishman, his voice sharp with urgency.

"Aladine! What happened? Did we lose?"

"No, Jack-sama, it's like this..."

After listening to Aladine's report, Jack nodded thoughtfully.

"No further fighting, huh? Ochoku?"

"That guy... Kaido has mentioned him before. Isn't he always holed up on Hachinosu?"...

174 One Piece: My Name is Jack

The clash raged on when Rim and the others heard a thunderous roar. Instinctively, they turned to see what was happening.

From above, King and Marco descended to the ground. Upon seeing the man clad in golden armor, they both looked astonished.

"That's..."

"The ruler of Beehive Island, Ochoku!" Marco exclaimed.

"What's he doing here?" King added.

BOOM!

The harbor was already in shambles from the residual shockwaves of battle. A massive boul...

173 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"What?!"

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates were in disbelief, but upon seeing their captain's reaction, they gradually realized the truth.

Their smiles froze, while the Beast Pirates erupted in cheers.

"Hahaha! Jack-sama!"

"Invincible! Invincible!"

"Our Beast Pirates are unbeatable!"

"Damn it! I don't believe this!"

Some members of the Whitebeard Pirates couldn't accept the reality and rushed toward Jack.

Due to Whitebeard's Devil Fruit powe...

172 One Piece: My Name is Jack

The Gura Gura no Mi, known as the strongest Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, has the most devastating destructive power and attack range of any fruit ever discovered.

In his youth, Whitebeard carved out an unparalleled reputation across the seas using the powers of this fruit. After several costly encounters with Whitebeard, even the Marines became wary of engaging him directly.

Even after the fall of the Rocks Pirates, Whitebeard remained a tyrannical force on the seas, thanks to his ...

171 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Boom!

Izou and his group hadn't noticed Jack's movements at all. Even though the three of them had Yamato struggling to keep up, Yamato's strength was still enough to force them to remain fully focused on her, lest she take one of them down with her in her final moments.

It wasn't until a massive shadow loomed over them, and Jack's gigantic frame landed heavily, shaking the ground, that the trio finally realized what was happening. They stared at him in stunned disbelief,...

170 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Yamato's loud voice momentarily silenced everyone around her.

But the silence was short-lived, replaced by a surge of anger as both sides clashed even more fiercely.

"That brat!"

Whitebeard's voice carried a tinge of frustration as he glared at Jack, who once again dodged his attack. He couldn't help but curse:

"One after another! Why are the brats from Kaido's crew always so underhanded and vile? What kind of lessons is Kaido teaching them?!"

"Don't get so worke...

169 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Whitebeard furrowed his brows in thought before suddenly bursting into laughter:

"Gurara! That Kaido bastard sure went all out to win you over!"

Jack rubbed his chin and spoke in a low voice, "What do you mean by that?"

"Exactly what it sounds like, brat!"

"And what exactly does it sound like?"

"It means just that!"

Bam!

Yamato saw Blamenco being rescued but didn't give chase. Instead, she turned her head, placed her han...

168 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"Damn brat..."

"Urgh..."

Spurt!

A spray of blood erupted from Whitebeard's mouth. Seeing this, his "sons" rushed forward in panic.

"Pops!"

"Stay back!"

"This old man is fine!"

Whitebeard wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and raised a hand to signal his sons to hold their ground. At the same time, the Beasts Pirates reacted, and the two sides clashed again in a chaotic melee.

"Oi, old man!" Jack pointed at the blood on the...

167 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Hearing Jack's response, Whitebeard was momentarily stunned before bursting into hearty laughter.

"Gurararara! You've got quite the sharp tongue, brat!" he chuckled, teasingly. "Let me see if your strength is as sharp as your mouth!"

With that, Whitebeard lifted his mighty weapon, Murakumogiri, and charged at Jack. Seeing this, the gleam of excitement in Jack's eyes intensified. Tightening his grip on his weapon, the tusk-shaped blade, he rushed forward to meet Whitebeard head-on....

166 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"BASTARD!"

Watching his crewmates die before his very eyes, Jozu lost his composure, charging furiously at Jack. However, despite Jozu's incredible Diamond-enhanced defense and strength, his attacks barely left a mark on Jack, whose body and stamina were just as monstrous.

The more Jozu fought, the more enraged he became, unable to deny his astonishment at Jack's absurd toughness.

"Captain Arthur! Captain Karma!"

"Arthur! Karma!"

"Jack-sama!"

"Drought Jack!...

165 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"This cocky little brat!"

"Dammit!"

Vista and Thatch were furious, while Jozu was so enraged by Jack's audacity that he nearly spat blood. Just as the three were preparing to launch another round of attacks, Jack shifted back into his mammoth form.

"Ivory Spray!"

The three dodged to the side, only to see Jack charging straight toward the center of the battlefield. His massive body caused the ground to quake with every step.

"This guy! Stop him!"

"Wait, that...

164 One Piece: My Name is Jack

The clash between Kaido and Whitebeard was a spectacle that left everyone in awe.

Their blows landed with unrelenting force, neither of them dodging. The Murakumogiri and Hassaikai collided violently, each refusing to give ground, as though evading would mean admitting defeat.

Despite his age, Whitebeard stood his ground against Kaido, demonstrating why he was known as the world's strongest man. Both his strength and Haki were unparalleled, and although...

163 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Whitebeard watched Jack, who was holding his ground effortlessly against three division commanders. His brows furrowed.

Marco and King were nowhere to be seen, and while the other commanders had a slight advantage, it wasn't enough to turn the tide of battle.

The captains of the allied fleets were held back by Kaido's officers, and even the small edge Whitebeard's side held didn't change the overall situation.

Seeing his sons on the lower ranks fall one by one, even though h...

162 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"You bastard!"

"Don't you dare insult Pops!"

Vista and Thatch, hot on Jack's heels, charged toward him with their weapons drawn. Jack, spotting their approach, smirked viciously and hefted his massive kanabo.

"Chasing me down like this? Did you think this was some kind of marathon?"

Bang! Clang, clang...

Vista and Thatch's dual blades struck Jack, while Jack's spiked club smashed into Jozu's diamond-coated arms. The clash produced a shrill sound,...

161 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Yamato was being dragged along by the frantic Two-Ha. Upon witnessing the terrifying scene, Two-Ha didn't wait for orders. He bolted, screaming in panic, nearly wetting himself. Jack, seeing the chaos, used Geppo to propel himself into the air.

"Fall back! Retreat!"

The others echoed his panic, shouting as they scrambled backward.

"This old man's strength hasn't waned one bit!"

Kaido had transformed into his azure dragon form. After a series of fiery blasts and destruc...

160 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"Kaido-sama!"

"The Whitebeard Pirates have appeared! They're rapidly approaching the Ailen Island!"

"Their entire fleet has assembled!"

"At their current speed, they'll arrive in about two hours!"

After delivering his report, Fendel turned to Kaido, who smirked and called over to King.

"Oi, King!"

"Should we throw a little welcoming party for that old geezer Whitebeard?"

King, arms crossed over his chest, responded in his usual calm tone, "It would be...

159 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Hic...

"Not bad! Your food here is actually quite decent!"

Kaido belched loudly, his massive frame towering over the others. Standing nearby, Hedarn bowed deeply, his face lighting up with a sycophantic grin at Kaido's praise.

"Not at all, Kaido-sama! This is all thanks to King-sama and Jack-sama, who provided us with excellent seeds to cultivate."

"Kaido-sama, rest assured! No matter how many people arrive, our nation has the resources to meet the needs of al...

158 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"This is…"

"Wow!"

The Fish-Men at the harbor erupted into cheers as they caught sight of the stunningly beautiful mermaids aboard the merchant ship.

The mermaids, who had been somewhat apprehensive at first, relaxed upon noticing the number of fellow merfolk gathered here. However, as they prepared to disembark, they hesitated, staring at the enormous, chubby beast blocking the dock. Sitting atop the creature was a striking young woman.

"Hey, you idiot!"

"You s...

157 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Swish!

Jack activated Soru and Geppo, launching himself toward the pirate ship in a blur. Rim unsheathed his longsword, striking the sea with immense force and using the resulting surge to leap onto the merchant ship ahead.

"Captain Andre! We're in trouble!"

"That Jack is flying toward us!"

"What?! Fire the cannons!"

Boom! Boom!

The first volley of cannonballs soared toward the merchant ship. However, Aladine and Rim...

156 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Ahead of the Mammoth, a merchant ship full of Fish-Men flew the flag of the Beasts Pirates.

While returning from Fish-Man Island, Jack had come across a small caravan escorting Fish-Men migrating to the New World. Seizing the opportunity, he decided to delay his journey for a few days to accompany them to their destination, ensuring their safe passage.

Their first stop was Ailen Island—a place where Fish-Men often got a glimpse of the surface world's culture and slavery before h...

155 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Red Line, Holy Land Mary Geoise.

The Five Elders were gathered in their usual chamber. The golden-haired elder, sporting a trimmed beard, handed a document to the bald elder, who was busy polishing his long sword. After all five had reviewed the contents, the golden-haired elder spoke softly:

"According to Admiral Kizaru's report and CP0's investigation, it has been confirmed that Jack the Drought possesses the bloodline of the Oni Clan. Furthermore, like Kaido, h...

154 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Splash...

A wary fish-man broke through the ocean's surface, his sharp eyes scanning the desolate island. The ruins told a story of a recent fierce battle. Slowly, he made his way to the shore.

The once-sturdy rocks were reduced to dust, and the lush forest, where feasts were held just days ago, had vanished without a trace. The carcasses of countless beasts lay rotting, exuding a sickening stench.

Seeing this, the fish-man let out a sharp whistle. Within mo...

153 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Dodging Jack's attack with his signature ease, Kizaru's mind grew heavy.

Whether in his base form, Zoan form, or hybrid form, Jack's durability was beyond expectation—nearly rivaling that of Kaido himself. But unlike Kaido's nearly unbreakable toughness, Jack's defense relied more on the resilience and elasticity of his skin and muscles. It was a difference in the nature of their devil fruit powers, yet both were rooted in the same unyielding, monstrous physicality.

Kaido, with ...

152 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"Rear Admiral Strawberry! We've received a report from the surveillance ship!"

"The pirates aboard the Mammoth, along with members of the Sun Pirates, have all escaped!"

"Currently, the only ones left on the island are Jack the Drought of the Beasts Pirates and Vice Admiral Borsalino in combat!"

Strawberry shouted decisively:

"Ignore the others! We're heading in to support Borsalino!"

"If we can capture Jack the Drought, it'll be a devastating blow to the Beasts ...

151 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Jack leapt from the deck, using Soru repeatedly to close the distance, testing Kizaru's speed.

To his surprise, Kizaru didn't move. He simply stood there with his leg raised, his foot emitting a golden glow that lit up the night like a blinding bulb.

As Jack was about to reach him, Kizaru vanished.

"Swish!"

"Have you been...?"

"Bang!"

Jack's movement paused for a fraction of a second as he executed Soru. That brief m...

150 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"Oh no, it's Jack the Drought…"

"Just look at him—his size, his appearance—definitely a monster…"

Jack squinted at the figure floating above him, clad in a Marine's Justice cloak. Disappointment crossed his face.

"Damn it! I thought it was Ultraman!"

"Wait, does that mean… Ultraman doesn't actually exist?"

Jack pointed accusingly at the man above.

"And you… what are you supposed to be?"

"No, wait…"

"You're that Marine freak—Boruâ...

149 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"Huff... huff..."

After a long moment of catching his breath, Jinbei finally calmed down, regaining his composure. He stood up, straightened himself, and looked at Jack.

"I understand what you're saying, but I have no intention of joining the Beasts Pirates," Jinbei declared firmly. "I'll stick with my decision to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Jack narrowed his eyes. "Why? Is it just to save Arlong?"

Jinbei shook his head slightly and turned to gaze at ...
