The Sea King crashed madly, causing Krieg's ship to almost split in half.
A massive hole opened in the cabin, and seawater frantically surged in.
Seeing this, the sailors on board were panicked. Krieg clutched his head and cursed, "What are you panicking for! Hurry up, someone, seal the crack!"
His expression was gloomy, and he glared viciously at the unforgivable culprit, the Sea King that, for some reason, had long forgotten to move.
He suddenly raised his war spear and thrust it fiercely at the Sea King.
The sharp spear tip scraped against the Sea King's hard scales, creating intense sparks. Then the spearhead fully pierced into the Sea King's body.
The pain instantly woke the Sea King up. It let out an ear-piercing screech, then violently thrashed its entire body, slapping the water's surface.
Krieg tightly gripped the spear's shaft, but the Sea King's strength was simply too great. His spearhead was still shaken loose by the creature.
"Peh! You beast!" Krieg cursed, then immediately shouted to his men, "It's wounded! Hurry and capture it. This is our valuable future food supply."
The captain was so fierce that the crew grew excited too. They all stepped forward with various sharp weapons, intending to further enlarge the Sea King's wound.
"What are you doing?" Jotaro's cold voice stopped them. "This fish has already been hired by me."
The Sea King, as if seeing a savior, had tears welling up in its eyes and desperately wriggled toward Jotaro's direction, muttering non-stop.
'Woo woo~ They were the ones who messed with you, if you want to settle accounts, go find them!'
'Also, remember to avenge your master. My beautiful body has been pierced by them, woo woo~'
Jotaro was extremely annoyed, not understanding at all what she was mumbling about.
"Yare yare daze! Get the hell out of my way!"
The pressure coming head-on made the Sea King's scales tremble.
"Who is he? When did he come onto our ship?"
A stranger suddenly appearing on the vast ocean left the Krieg Pirate Crew staring at each other, full of questions in their hearts.
Krieg's cold eyes scanned Jotaro.
"What do you mean by this? Your fish? This is a Sea King that I went through great trouble to find."
Jotaro instantly understood what was going on.
It seemed that while he was asleep, the Sea King was targeted by this unknown pirate crew, who then launched an attack on it, he had been woken up by the commotion.
His main goal now was to chase after Nami and get back his ship, so he didn't have much time to mess with this nameless pirate group.
"I already said, this is my fish. You'd better stop right here."
Jotaro spoke calmly, his hands in his pockets, already intending to leap from the ship to the Sea King's back.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the ship erupted with overwhelming laughter.
"Ah hahaha… Where did this bumpkin come from!"
"He hasn't even heard of the great name of our Krieg Pirate Crew? Your fish? As long as our Krieg Pirate Crew sets its sights on it, this fish becomes ours!"
"We are the overlords of the East Blue, the Krieg Pirate Crew!"
Jotaro's pale green eyes glanced at these people and sighed helplessly. He turned around, completely ignoring them.
His indifferent attitude undoubtedly enraged Krieg completely.
He was the overlord of the East Blue, and the man in front of him dared to look down on him like this.
"Brat, originally if you just handed over the fish, maybe I'd have spared your life."
Krieg walked quickly to Jotaro's side. Veins bulged on his muscular arm as his palm slammed down on Jotaro's shoulder.
"But now, I'm going to teach you how to speak to the overlord of the East Blue!"
A massive force came from his palm, it was clearly meant to push Jotaro down, to make him kneel.
However, Krieg's entire face was quickly filled with shock.
He used all his strength, yet he couldn't shake Jotaro at all.
Jotaro glanced sideways, his gaze like a cold sword emitting frost, making Krieg's body involuntarily shrink.
'Impossible! How can this guy resist my strength!'
He was obviously taller than Jotaro, but at this moment, he felt as if he had to look up to him.
"Yare yare daze. Originally, you just had to quietly wait for the ship to sink. But now, a second option has emerged."
"That is, I'll help you sink!"
The aura from Jotaro's body burst forth.
The crew of the Krieg Pirates felt as if a towering mountain was pressing down on them, rendering them immobile.
The heavy pressure filled their entire bodies, and their legs had already begun to tremble.
Krieg's pupils shrank violently.
'Impossible! How could the East Blue have such a person?'
Just the aura from his body made a pirate with a bounty of 17 million Berries tremble all over.
This feeling was just like facing Mihawk.
In front of him, they were like tiny, insignificant ants.
Just as Jotaro finished speaking, the stern-faced Star Platinum emerged from his body, delivering a heavy punch to Krieg's abdomen.
The golden armor cracked instantly, and Krieg's entire body flew sideways.
Not only that, but the immense force traveled through his body, bursting out from his back and blasting into the mast behind him.
The tall mast collapsed, and the whole ship let out unbearable creaking noises.
"My golden armor!"
Krieg crashed heavily onto the ship, spitting out a mouthful of blood, staring in shock as the golden armor fell off his body, armor that was so tough, now shattered into pieces in just a short moment.
"This is how I, Kujo Jotaro, speak to the overlords of the East Blue." Jotaro glanced at him with contempt. "If you don't want the ship to sink faster, then get out of my sight!"
Krieg gritted his teeth, extremely humiliated.
He secretly moved his hand toward his arm, wanting to use the hidden weapon inside to sneak attack Jotaro the moment he turned around.
But such petty tricks could never escape Jotaro's eyes.
How to avoid hidden weapons, he had quite the experience.
"Star Platinum!"
"Ora!"
Just as Krieg's hand touched the arm guard, the entire guard exploded, and his hand went limp.
"How can this be!" His arm snapped on the spot, and Krieg screamed in pain.
"Don't think you can attack me with hidden weapons. That'll only make you die faster!"
Jotaro turned away indifferently, leaving everyone with the sight of the hem of his coat fluttering freely in the wind.
That unguarded posture, yet no one present had even the slightest desire to attack.
They didn't even dare to breathe.
The Sea King silently watched this scene from the side, eyes shining brightly.
'This is what a strong one looks like!'
Worshipping the strong is in an animal's nature. The Sea King was no exception.
However, just as Jotaro had not yet jumped off Krieg's ship, a gigantic sword wind, filled with a world-ending momentum, swept toward the crowd.
Jotaro also didn't notice this sudden attack.
