Jin didn't give Onigumo any chance to land his attack.
At the very instant Onigumo moved, Jin's fist shot forward.
Instinctively, Onigumo was about to activate Tekkai—but a powerful sense of danger screamed inside his mind.
If I use Tekkai, I'm finished.
Without hesitation, he coated his chest with Armament Haki, choosing to endure the blow head-on while counterattacking with Finger Pistol!
As a hardliner Vice Admiral, Onigumo was ruthless not only toward others—but toward himself as well.
"Bang!"
The moment the punch connected, Onigumo's expression changed completely.
What terrifying strength!
His counterattack never even had time to land—
Damn it! There's no footing in midair!
"Whoosh—!"
"BOOM!!"
His body was sent flying like a cannonball, blasting straight back into the Navy formation and crashing onto Strawberry's warship.
Strawberry: ???
Wasn't this guy supposed to be continuing the bombardment?
Why did he just get launched onto my ship?!
"I don't recall allowing you to leave."
Jin stood calmly atop the dragon's head, gazing down at the fleet.
Strawberry's face darkened.
This man… was looking down on them far too much.
"That punch was heavy…"
Onigumo forced himself upright, glancing at his abdomen.
Fortunately, the enemy didn't seem to be using Haki—otherwise his ribs might already be shattered.
"I told you," Momonga said gravely.
"This man isn't normal."
Someone who dared to face a Buster Call alone—how could he be ordinary?
Momonga even began to suspect that this man might be another monster like Douglas Bullet.
This time, no one argued.
All eyes were locked tightly onto Jin.
On the other side—
Robin and the others successfully arrived near the Gate of Justice using Blueno's ability.
Not far ahead lay the ship prepared for Spandam.
"This Gate of Justice really is massive," Franky said with awe.
He couldn't imagine how the World Government had built something on this scale—it felt beyond human capability.
"So those are the Buster Call warships…"
Nami swallowed nervously as she looked at the fleet.
The pressure was overwhelming at close range.
Wait—
Nine ships?
"Look!" Usopp shouted excitedly, pointing into the distance.
"One of them's been cut in half! Was that Jin?!"
He stared at the man standing atop the water dragon, eyes practically glowing.
So this… was the power of a ninja?!
Ninja!
Ninja!
Ninja!
"Looks like he wasn't bluffing…" Franky muttered.
It hadn't even been that long, and a Navy warship had already been sliced apart.
And that ship carried a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.
"Jin…"
Robin gazed at his silhouette, tears quietly gathering in her eyes.
He really… stopped the Buster Call.
"AHHH!!"
"Why is there such a terrifying monster here?!"
Spandam's panicked screams echoed from ahead, mixed with frantic Marine shouts.
"Looks like that idiot didn't escape in advance," Franky sneered.
"That's because Jin planted psychological suggestions in him," Blueno said calmly.
"He's the one who took Nicole Robin away—how could Jin possibly let him live?"
"Nicole Robin, this is Jin's gift to you."
"And that includes… those as well."
As he spoke, Blueno glanced at the nine warships with an utterly calm expression.
Robin was silent for a moment—then smiled softly.
"He really is… a gentle man."
"Everyone," Franky grinned,
"let's go steal that ship."
"Oooh!"
The shout immediately drew Momonga's attention.
He looked toward the figures running across the bridge and frowned.
"Those are…"
"Reporting, Vice Admiral. They're members of the Straw Hat Pirates."
"The Straw Hat Pirates…"
Momonga turned his gaze back to Jin and shouted loudly:
"So you're with the Straw Hat Pirates?"
"Heh, that's right," Jin admitted openly.
"I'm the ninja of the Straw Hat Pirates. Please take good care of me~"
"Ninja?"
Vice Admiral Yamakaji froze slightly.
He'd heard that word once before—from Admiral Aokiji—something originating in Wano.
But Wano was Kaido's territory.
Why would a ninja appear in the Straw Hat crew?
A scheme?
Or something else?
"I don't care what you call yourself," Doberman said coldly.
"You're dying here today."
He had also noticed the people on the bridge—but to him, they were nothing more than ants.
The priority was killing the man in front of him.
Once he was dead, the rest would collapse naturally.
"All units," Doberman ordered,
"attack together."
"Understood!"
Onigumo didn't hesitate either.
To the hardliners, fighting two-on-one wasn't dishonorable—so long as evil was eliminated, any method was acceptable.
"Geppo!"
"One-Sword Style — Setting Sun Slash!"
"Two-Sword Style — Spider Demon!"
The two Vice Admirals appeared above Jin simultaneously and struck!
"Water Release: Water Surge Wave!!"
"BOOM!!"
The water dragon beneath Jin erupted violently, releasing a massive torrent that transformed into raging waves rushing toward them!
The overwhelming force completely blocked their attacks.
"Damn it!!"
Doberman cursed as he was forced backward.
"What the hell kind of jutsu is this?!"
Not only did the waves block their strikes—
They kept pushing forward relentlessly, preventing them from advancing at all!
"I don't know either!"
Onigumo shouted angrily.
This was his first time fighting an opponent like this—how was he supposed to understand these abilities?!
At that moment, Jin's voice drifted over like a death sentence.
"You two…"
"You touched seawater, didn't you?"
Their expressions changed instantly.
Before they could react—
"Lightning Release: Earth Flow!"
"Zzzzt—!"
Violent lightning surged across the surface of the sea, spreading at terrifying speed and instantly catching up to the retreating two.
"AAAGH!!"
Electricity tore through their bodies, paralyzing them completely.
They couldn't even move.
"BOOM!!"
With the waves crashing down, the immobilized Vice Admirals were smashed straight into the sea—utterly helpless.
"Doberman!!"
"Onigumo!!"
The remaining three Vice Admirals' faces changed drastically.
They never imagined it would end like this.
Only a few breaths—
And two Vice Admirals had already been struck down and thrown into the ocean?!
Meanwhile, Jin's expression remained calm—
As if everything had unfolded exactly as he predicted.
"Next…"
"Who's it going to be?"
"BOOM!!"
As his words fell—
Two more massive water dragons rose beside him, coiling violently across the sea.
