"Get out of my way, Jinbei!"
Who's who wrapped his fingers in Armament Haki, attacking Jinbe frantically in an attempt to push him back and escape upward.
However, Jinbei at this moment was like an immovable mountain.
No matter how Who's who attacked, he remained unshaken, effortlessly sending Who's who flying with a single strike.
"Damn it, what are you all standing around for? Attack Jinbe now, or we'll all drown in here!" Who's who roared in frustration.
Ulti glared at him and pointed upward. "Can't we just smash through the ceiling to escape?"
"Are you an idiot? This prison is reinforced with large amounts of Seastone—we can't break through! The only exit is the cell door."
Queen was stunned.
Earlier, he had been sitting by the cell door to block Jinbei from entering.
But now, the tables had turned.
Though they had been freed, they had truly become trapped fish in a barrel, blocked inside the cell by Jinbei alone.
[A/N : For people who's confused, the water has not yet submerge them so they can still fight albeit they are weakened]
"Everyone, charge with me!" Who's who shouted, leading the charge against Jinbei.
Ulti grabbed Page One, and the two transformed into their dinosaur forms.
Ulti coated her head in Armament Haki and rammed straight into Jinbei.
"Dammit, don't all transform at once! The cell's too small—there's no room to fight!" Who's who was sent flying by Ulti and was so furious he wanted to kill someone.
What a bunch of useless teammates.
Black Maria, tall and completely unclothed, her snow-white, delicate skin glistening, sat weakly in the water, letting the river soak her alluring body.
"Kairoseki Skin! Hasshoken!" Jinbe didn't dodge as Ulti charged at him.
Instead, he threw a punch straight at her forehead.
BOOM!
Water exploded outward as Ulti body was sent flying backward, crashing into the Allosaurus Page One behind her.
Both slammed hard into the cell wall.
"Triceratops! Full-Power Charge!" Sasaki transformed into a massive triceratops, his hooves gripping the ground as his enormous horns aimed straight for Jinbei, trying to knock him aside.
"Ocean Current Slam!" Jinbei remained unfazed.
The water obeyed his will like a weapon, forming a massive whip that lashed out at Sasaki head, flipping him onto his back and leaving him unable to get up.
Jack pulled the long tusks from his face and swung them at Jinbei.
"Ocean Current—Hasshoken Secret Technique! Tidal Impact!"
The water erupted violently, compressed into a sphere by Jinbei and launched like a cannonball straight into Jack chest.
His twin tusk blades shattered and Jack spat blood as he crashed into the wall just like Ulti.
"Holy shit!" Queen muttered, dumbfounded.
Bro, are you for real?
One-shotting everyone like they're toddlers?
Beating the Tobi Roppo's Ancient Zoan users like they're punching bags—are you cheating or something?
The water in the cell was now over four meters deep.
Among those present, only Queen could still keep his head above the surface.
The others, either due to their height or because Jinbe had knocked them back into their human forms, could only drown in the water.
Though it wasn't seawater, It still left the Devil Fruit users feeling weak and powerless.
Jinbei no longer stood guard at the cell door.
Instead, he charged forward with overwhelming ferocity, heading straight for Queen.
Queen beady eyes widened in panic and he could only think one thing.
Stay the hell away from me!
However, things did not go as planned. Jinbei target was none other than Queen!
"Fish-Man Karate Ultimate Technique!"
"Demon Tile Straight Punch!"
BOOOOM!
Queen couldn't dodge in the water—Jinbei was a nimble heavyweight.
Jinbei terrifying punch slammed into Queen neck, nearly snapping it as his massive body crashed into the prison door like a ragdoll.
Jinbei combat prowess in water was off the charts, allowing him to overpower everyone effortlessly.
No one stood a chance.
Just as Jinbe reigned supreme underwater, mercilessly dominating his foes, the flow of water from the hole above suddenly stopped.
King held Kawamatsu body in his grasp and shouted down.
"Jinbei! Stop now! Or I'll kill Kawamatsu!"
BOOM!
Jinbei punched Jack again, sending him spitting blood, then turned to glare at the hole above, his expression a mix of fury and helplessness.
Clenching his fists tightly, Jinbei glared at the battered prisoners before sighing and turning away.
Manipulating the water, he ascended toward the hole.
With Jinbei gone, the prisoners collectively exhaled in relief, the suffocating pressure finally lifting.
One by one, they surfaced.
Once outside the cell, Who's-Who wasted no time climbing onto Queen back to escape the water.
His strength gradually returned and he prepared to leap into the air.
But a large hand seized his ankle.
"YOU—!" Who's-Who roared, turning to see Queen gripping his leg tightly, with every other prisoner clinging to Queen' body for dear life.
Ulti, Page One, Sasaki and Black Maria—all were there.
As for the lower-ranking officers, Ulti hadn't bothered saving them, unwilling to waste the potent medicine.
By now, they had likely drowned.
"Bastards! Let go! With this many people, I can't possibly lift off! And you, Queen! You're too damn heavy!" Who's-Who snapped.
But Queen ignored him, and the others paid no heed to his complaints.
Fuming, Who's-Who had no choice but to summon every ounce of strength he had, inching upward in painful advance.
Several minutes later, Who's-Who finally hauled everyone out of the hole, collapsing to the ground like a limp rag.
"Hmph! Useless" Ulti sneered at him.
"You—!" Who's-Who nearly exploded with rage.
"Where's Jinbe? Did he run?" Queen scanned the area, spotting King holding Perospero nearby—but Jinbe and Kawamatsu were nowhere to be seen.
Relieved, Queen puffed out his chest and declared.
"Ahem! That bastard, taking advantage of being a fish-man to bully me in the water! Just wait—I'll make him pay for this!"
Ulti rolled her eyes, her disdain plain on her face.
Queen bristled. "What's that look for, brat? You think I can't take him? I'm one of the All-Stars of the Beasts Pirates, a man with a 1.32 billion berry bounty!"
"Hah! Then why were you crying like a baby earlier?" Ulti taunted, while Page One frantically tugged at his sister sleeve.
"I cried? That's bullshit! Which eye of yours saw me crying? That was in the water, this is water, you know?"
"Enough already!" King snapped impatiently, pointing toward the Flower Capital. "Page One, you're the weakest here. Take Perospero and get out of the Flower Capital, or find somewhere to hide. The rest of you, come with me to assist Caesar-sama and Kaido-san!"
The group was stunned by his words.
Jack turned to King excitedly. "Big Brother King! Kaido-sama is alright? That's great!"
Ulti frowned, confused. "Who the hell is Caesar? You guys have been saying 'Caesar this, Caesar that' since earlier. Who is he? And I heard from Jinbei that Kaido and Big Mom were both defeated by the Straw Hats and died."
King grinned. "Kaido-san and Big Mom aren't dead. Caesar-sama revived them both. Me and Queen were also brought back by him—including all of you. What you drank earlier was a gift from Caesar-sama. Oh, and Caesar-sama is Kaido-san brother. One more thing—the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates have merged. Kaido-san and Big Mom are no longer captains. Caesar-sama is our captain now!"
"WHAATTT?!"
Ulti froze.
Jack was speechless.
Who's-Who, Sasaki, Black Maria—everyone was stunned.
