148 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"Oi! Jinbe!"

Jack called out, his tone tinged with mischief as he pointed toward Aladine and the others.

"As per the deal, these guys are now part of the Beasts Pirates, right?"

"Which means you're no longer their captain, isn't that so?"

"And I am their captain now, yeah?"

Jinbe's face grew serious. He couldn't quite grasp what Jack was getting at, so he shouted in reply:

"I gave my word, and I will not go back on it! From this moment on, you are their cap...

147 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"What..." "How is his defense so strong..." "He's a monster..."

Bang!

Jinbe's proud stance finally faltered as his head slumped onto the sandy beach, exhausted. The ocean had already sapped Jack of much of his strength, yet even in this state, Jinbe's strongest attack barely managed to ruffle a single hair on him. This monstrous body of his—it was beyond anything Jinbe had encountered. He was thoroughly convinced.

"Boss Jinbe!" "Captain Jinbe!"

As the battle...

146 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"Bastard!"

"Fish-Man Karate!"

Jinbei's composure shattered under Jack's taunting words. Gripping Jack's massive arms with both hands, Jinbei heaved the towering opponent into the air. Amid the stunned gazes of the onlookers, he spun Jack around several times before hurling him away.

"Soru!"

Before his body hit the ground, Jack pressed his palms to the earth, using the momentum to launch himself back to his original position.

"Hold up—Fish-Man Karate?" Jack's br...

145 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Jinbei glanced at his crewmates, some of whom looked visibly swayed by the proposition. His voice thundered with anger as he roared:

"Shut up! I will never wager my comrades as a bargaining chip!"
"The Sun Pirates were founded by Brother Tiger!"
"I will never let his legacy be erased!"
"Don't forget—I am the captain of the Sun Pirates now!"
"As long as I live, I will never allow any of you to leave!"

At the mention of Tiger, many of the fishmen, initial...

144 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"You bastard!"

Jack's threatening tone sent a ripple of unease through the gathered fish-men. Many of them immediately moved to stand by Jinbei's side. However, Willy's crew, along with the strange trio, remained rooted in place. Even around Ax, a group of fish-men gathered, coldly watching Jinbei and his companions.

"Oi, Jinbei!" Willy sneered, his defiant expression fixed on Jinbei.

"If you decide to accept the World Government's invitation and become one of their lapdogs�...

143 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"What… is that…?"

The loud shouting jolted the Fish-Men awake, and they emerged onto the deck one by one. They stared in disbelief at the pirate ship approaching them. Their mouths hung open as they took in the sight.

The ship's masthead, shaped like a mammoth, and the towering shadow of a massive figure on the deck stirred memories in Jinbei. He recognized it immediately. This was the ship of a Fish-Man whose infamy had far surpassed even that of Tiger's and who had captured ...

142 One Piece: My Name is Jack

After much hesitation and following the persuasion of Ax and Finder, the Mammoth finally set sail toward the Grand Line.

Ax had been instrumental in convincing Jack. From his attitude and resolve, Jack saw a glimmer of hope for the Sun Pirates' salvation. Perhaps the death of Fisher Tiger had awakened something in Ax. He showed no signs of naïveté, even when Jack deliberately mocked Queen Otohime's ideals in front of him. Instead, Ax rebuked her approach even more harshly than Jack hi...

141 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"Out of the way, Zeo! Let me handle this!"

A fish-man clad in the Neptune Army uniform shoved Zeo aside and shouted at Jack:

"Uncle! Please, I'm begging you—help Arlong!"
"Arlong's been captured by the Marines and locked up!"

Jack tilted his head, scrutinizing the fish-man before him. He raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"And you are...? Another nephew? I don't remember you."

"It's me, Uncle!"

"If you're Zeo's uncle, then you're obviously my uncle too!"<...

140 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Despite the Neptune Army's continued attempts to catch up, King Neptune and his ministers were conspicuously absent. Jack, unbothered, decided to tour Ryugu Palace with Rim and the others in tow.

A few squad leaders from the Neptune Army tried to follow and keep an eye on them, but a single glance from Jack froze them in their tracks. One of the leaders hesitated, casting a complicated look at the group before finding an excuse to dart off toward Fish-Man District.

Although the Be...

139 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Finder respected Tiger greatly and was furious when he heard of his death. However, Finder understood well that as a member of the Beasts Pirates, he couldn't act recklessly.

Initially, Finder was resistant to joining Kaido's crew. He only agreed out of fear that Jack might destroy Fish-Man Island if he refused. But once he joined, things changed.

Not only did Jack keep every promise he made, but even Kaido showed considerable respect for Fish-Men.

Kaido had the mountains ar...

The Immortal Body, although it hadn't reached its peak, still made Jack awe-struck.

Every sensation coursing through his body, from the subtle rhythm of his organs to the flow of blood like a steady stream, was a feeling he had never experienced before. It was as if every cell in his body had awakened with a will of its own, responding to his movements with optimal precision. It felt indescribable—like his body had become a towering fortress under constant constr...

"Red-Haired Shanks!"

The moment Jack saw the pirate ship appear on the horizon, with its crew of stylish and diverse misfits, his face immediately darkened.

"You damn nonconformist punk! How dare you show your face in front of me again!"

"Looks like you've gotten stronger since last time!"

Jack scrutinized Shanks' crew, his gaze lingering on the curly-haired sniper pointing a gun at him. A menacing glint flickered in Jack's eyes as he growled:

"You've gathered so...

136 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"Huff... huff..."

Mihawk exhaled heavily, his chest rising and falling as he caught his breath.

The relentless pursuit had drained much of his stamina, and his drawn-out battle with Jack—whose thick skin seemed impervious—had further depleted most of his Armament Haki. Every seemingly effortless strike he delivered had required immense energy, enough to leave an ordinary person completely incapacitated.

Although swordsmen are known for their extraordinary physical endura...

135 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Boom!

With a heavy thud, Mihawk's razor-sharp slash collided once again with Jack's massive frame. And once again, Jack stopped the attack with his bare body. Mihawk's piercing eyes grew colder.

The reputation of Jack, the Drought, was no exaggeration.

Since setting out to sea, this was the first time Mihawk had encountered someone who could parry his sword with sheer physicality. His respect for the mammoth of a man grew slightly.

But respect meant nothing he...

134 One Piece: My Name is Jack

A searing pain erupted in the sea beast's mouth, accompanied by a maddening discomfort. The creature's sanity began to crumble.

It thrashed wildly in the ocean, desperate to dislodge Jack, who was stuck in its jaws. However, Jack's spiked kanabō was firmly wedged between the beast's upper and lower teeth. No matter how much strength it used, it couldn't shake him loose. The sea beast's frustration spiraled into fury.

Spotting an island in the distance, the sea beast's bloodshot e...

133 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Jack's assignment to guard Ailen Island in place of King seemed to have been arranged long ago. Clearly, King had faith in Kerr—the man was indeed as talented as King claimed. Even without Jack's involvement, everything on the island ran smoothly and efficiently.

With nothing better to do, Jack split his time between practicing rope techniques on Yamato and engaging in masochistic sparring sessions with Rim. Scratch that—"getting beaten up" was more accurate. Jack's goal was to push...

132 One Piece: My Name is Jack

By the time Jack was fished out of the water by Rim, it was already late into the night.

Standing before him, arms crossed over his chest, King's fiery aura flickered in the dark, illuminating his imposing figure. Despite the intimidating atmosphere, Jack glared up defiantly and sneered.

"King, that wasn't fair! You ambushed me, didn't you?" Jack taunted, a grin tugging at his lips.

"Come on, if you've got the guts, just finish me off already!"

Boom!

The...

131 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Worried Kaido might beat the life out of him, Jack decided it was better to leave Yamato on the ship.

After all, Kaido flew faster than the ship sailed, especially after a few drinks. When he eventually noticed Yamato was missing, he'd catch up in no time. If all else failed, Jack figured he could hand her over to King when they met. But there had to be some ground rules in place first.

As the thought crossed his mind, Jack felt an old ache in his body flare up again. Wincing, he ...

130 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"Jack! You know exactly what I mean!" Kaido's deep, growling voice echoed through the room.

"And I also know what you'll do once you leave Onigashima!" Kaido paused, his sharp gaze locked onto Jack. "The World Government has stopped pursuing you. With your strength now, as long as you don't run into those few, there's no one who's your match."

He paused again, patting Jack on the shoulder before grabbing the Hassaikai from his hand and continuing, "Our intelligence network ha...

129 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"Kaido-sama, you can talk all you want, but can you stop grinning like that?"

"It's creeping me out! Gives me goosebumps every time!"

Kaido shot Jack a blank look, then glanced at the spiked kanabo resting beside him. Jack immediately grabbed his own weapon, the Hassaikai.

"Come on, let's be civilized about this! We can talk like adults!"

"Otherwise, I've got two clubs, and I'm not afraid to use them!"

"Get lost!"

Thud!

A massive azure dr...

The Fire Festival was held as scheduled.

The performances hadn't been rehearsed, but thanks to Jack's incredible constitution and recovery abilities—not to mention the resilience of his gluteal muscles—he had managed to recover from his injuries in time for the festival.

Kaido had no intention of introducing Doflamingo to Orochi, and Doflamingo, understanding his position, tactfully avoided appearing before Kaido and Orochi. Instead, he stayed in the penthouse, sipping sake wi...

127 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"What did you say? You prepared ten courtesans for him?"

Jack stared at Black Maria in disbelief, his concern evident as he spoke.

"I told you to treat him well, but I didn't mean this kind of hospitality!"

"Ten courtesans? Can that scrawny dog even handle that? His back might break!"

"Cough cough..."

"Hahhh..."

Black Maria exhaled a smoke ring in Jack's direction, smirking at the jealousy written all over his face.

126 One Piece: My Name is Jack

As Doflamingo glanced at Black Maria, whose towering height nearly matched Jack's, he finally understood who the clothes Jack had requested were meant for.

Turning his gaze toward the figure standing beside Jack, he locked eyes with Yamato. Realizing this was Kaido's daughter, Doflamingo also gained new insight into Jack's status within the Beasts Pirates.

To treat Kaido's daughter as a plaything… Such privilege…

Wait a second… This feels oddly familiar…

An opp...

125 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"Pfft… this is too much!"

"Unbelievable! The great All-Star of the Beasts Pirates, Jack, running around Onigashima bare-ass naked—this news has spread everywhere!"

"I say, Jack, maybe you should just quit being an All-Star and dive into the sea instead!"

"Oi, don't be so harsh! Sure, Jack did something embarrassing, but we don't have to rub it in. That's just rude, y'know. It might hurt his feelings."

"You two brats! Shut your damn mouths!"

Jack glared furiou...

Congratulations to the host for successfully anchoring to the ship. Since no choice was made for a long time, the system has automatically selected a reward.

Congratulations to the host for receiving a rare reward: Advanced Rokushiki.

After such a long silence, Jack had assumed the system wasn't going to acknowledge his unorthodox method of anchoring to the ship. But to his surprise, it had been stewing in the background, only to drop an extraordi...

123 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"The victor is our All-Star! Drought! Jack-sama!"

"Jack-sama! Jack-sama!"

The deafening chants filled the air, making Page One and Ulti grimace as they covered their ears in irritation.

"Wait a minute! What is Jack-sama doing?" "Why is he spreading Fozu's legs apart?" "Could it be that he..."

The host's words instantly piqued the pirates' curiosity. Everyone strained to get a better look, with Yamato and the others even pulling out telescopes for a closer view.

"...

122 One Piece: My Name is Jack

The blazing fury erupted like a volcano, surging toward Jack's head. In that moment, all rationality left him. The only thought pounding in his mind was simple: I'm gonna kill Fozu.

"This is too much! WAY too much!" Jack roared internally, seething with rage.

Ugh, salty! When was the last time this guy even washed his hair?

Locking onto Fozu, who kept darting around, Jack bellowed, his voice thunderous:

"Stop dodging, you damn coward! If I catch y...

121 One Piece: My Name is Jack

Fozu blinked, still puzzled about why Jack had suddenly shouted like that. Before he could fully grasp the situation, Jack had already leapt high off the deck, drawing the massive fang-shaped weapon from his waist and bringing it crashing down.

"Soru!"

BOOM!

"Huh?"

In the blink of an eye, even the announcer on the high platform hadn't reacted. Fozu had already appeared behind Jack, dagger in hand, stabbing down with ruthless precision.

Unfortunately for ...

120 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"Huff… huff…"

"Snore… snore…"

"Damn it!"

Jack glanced at the two snoring loudly—Yamato and the giant wolf—and then turned to Maria, who was holding Ulti like a teddy bear as she drifted off to sleep. With a resigned sigh, he stepped out of the brothel quarters and headed back to his own room.

"Jack, I told you! It's better for us guys not to share a room with women—it's too much trouble!"

Page One's serious tone made Jack's eye twitch. He stomped ov...

119 One Piece: My Name is Jack

"Jack-sama! Jack-sama!"

Hearing the shouts from outside, Jack pushed open the door and stepped out. The pirate underling he had previously let go came running back, looking utterly panicked. The two red handprints on his face made it clear what kind of response Fozu had given.

"J-Jack-sama…"

The underling stammered as he looked at Jack's impassive face, his words trembling on the edge of his lips. Just as he gathered the courage to speak, Jack cut him off.

"Tell Fozu...
