This punch was packed with eighteen years of skill.
Can you withstand it? As the blow landed, Jon unleashed a flurry of punches, his punch speed was as fast as lightning! "Muda muda muda muda muda muda!"
Beside them, Ace and Jinbei were dumbfounded.
Goodness.
This kid was ruthless, every punch was aimed at vital spots.
He was a tough one.
Despite Shiryu's astonishing swordsmanship, in the situation where he lost the initiative, he was still unable to lay a hand on Jon.
However, Jon wasn't having an easy time either.
Taking so many punches without going down, Shiryu's physical resilience was simply exceptuibak!
"Boom!"
Just then, the sound of an explosion echoed in everyone's ears.
Jon's punch speed faltered slightly.
Seizing the opportunity, Shiryu quickly distanced himself from Jon.
"Don't let him draw his sword!"
"Keep attacking!"
Watching from the sidelines, Ace and Jinbei were extremely anxious.
The name of "Shiryu of the Rain" wasn't just for laugh; it was earned through real battles!
However, Jon didn't press closer; instead, he took a few steps back, adopting a 'steady as she goes' demeanor.
"You darn kid, your ability is quite impressive, but you've run out of chances."
Seeing Jon hesitate, Shiryu suppressed the urge to faint and grinned.
Jon remained silent, quietly raising his fists.
"Oh? Even after experiencing my strength, you still want to challenge me? Admirable courage."
Shiryu also assumed a swordsmanship stance.
"I've already figured out your ability. If I'm not mistaken, you're a user of the Logia-type Devil Fruit, the Glint-Glint Fruit."
Exactly! Spot on, bro, spot on!
Jon couldn't help but praise Shiryu's guess.
You think I'm a Devil Fruit user? Actually, I'm a Stand User!
Compared to Devil Fruits, which had obvious side effects and don't taste good enough, Stands were far superior.
Jon pretended to be serious.
"I didn't expect you to figure it out. Yes, I've consumed the 'Glint-Glint Fruit' and become a Light Human'! It's thanks to this ability that I could infiltrate the 'Eternal Hell.' Be sensible and scram, and I might let you off."
The bait has been laid; now it was up to Shiryu to take it.
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Shiryu burst into wild laughter.
Seeing the other party looking smug, Jon had a clue.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You dare to underestimate me? Watch as I finish you off with my 'deadly blow'!"
What? A deadly blow! Shiryu narrowed his eyes, preparing himself for the attack.
Suddenly, Jon moved, rushing forward like a cheetah!
Shiryu remained steadfast, keeping an eye on his surroundings at all times.
As expected, the charging Jon once again disappeared from sight.
Shiryu swiftly turned around.
"Naive! The same move won't work on me!"
Unfortunately, the anticipated figure didn't appear.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of chains hitting the ground reached their ears.
Shiryu turned woodenly, only to see Jon standing calmly in the depths of the cell.
Beside him stood Jinbei, who had already broken free.
Feeling Shiryu's gaze, Jon awkwardly smiled, "Um, I was just kidding about being a 'Light Human' and a 'deadly blow.' You didn't take that seriously, did you?"
You think I backed down?
Sorry, I was here to fight you.
You think I'm going to fight you? Sorry, I was here to save people.
Fighting required strength, but intelligence was even more indispensable!
"You!"
Realizing what was happening, Shiryu was so furious he almost spat blood.
Jinbei strode out of the cell, clenching his fists tightly. "Shiryu, let me be your opponent!"
As soon as these words fell, Jon neatly freed Ace.
Seastone handcuffs were troublesome for Devil Fruit users, but for someone like Jon, who relied on physical strength and Stand powers, breaking free from them was a piece of cake.
"I owe you one!" Ace's eyes were full of gratitude. But he knew it wasn't the time for talking.
After turning flames, in the blink of an eye, Ace flew out of the cell and stood beside Jinbei. "And me!"
Two against one!
A drop of cold sweat trickled down Shiryu's forehead. This situation wasn't looking good.
"Hmph, how boring. Let's call it quits for today." Faced with the dual pressure from the 'First Son of The Sea' and the 'Second Division Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates,' Shiryu decisively chose to prioritize his safety.
Hearing this, Ace and Jinbei exchanged a glance, understanding each other's thoughts from their eyes.
Just as they were about to speak, Jon suddenly interjected, "No need to waste words with scum like him. Let's all go at him together!"
As he spoke, Jon's figure suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he had already flashed to Shiryu's side.
"Rankyaku!"
A cyan wind blade tore through the air!
Shiryu raised his sword to block. This seemed to be a signal, as Jinbei and Ace also made their moves.
One threw punches with great force!
The other controlled flames, engulfing everything in sight!
Shiryu was annoyed and roared, "Ganging up on me? Show some backbone and fight me one-on-one!"
Ace and Jinbei hesitated for a moment. In their opinion, a real man would fight one-on-one, and three against one was indeed a bit excessive.
But Jon didn't think so.
While launching Rankyaku, he exclaimed, "No need to talk about chivalry with scum like him. Think about what this guy does on a daily basis!"
Ace and Jinbei immediately understood.
That was right!
Shiryu wasn't a good person.
A ruthless killer that deserved to die!
"Fishman Karate: Gosenmaigawara Seiken!"
"Enkai!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless prison cells collapsed.
The four of them instantly engaged in battle!
Was Shiryu strong?
Very strong.
If he wasn't strong, Blackbeard wouldn't have picked him and made him the Captain of the second ship of the Blackbeard Pirates.
Then how about Ace and Jinbei?
The answer was, of course, yes.
Even after being imprisoned for so long, their strength was not something Shiryu alone could handle. Plus, with Jon's occasional attack, it didn't take long for the warden to be defeated.
"Damn it! Damn pirates!"
Couldn't run away or win in a fight.
That feeling was beyond frustrating.
Wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, Shiryu looked fiercely at the three opponents in front of him.
Finally, he locked eyes with Jon.
"Even if I die, I'll take you down with me!"
Jon: ??? No, I'm just a harmless assistant. How did he hate me so much? Indeed, outstanding men are like fireflies in the dark, dazzling no matter when.
"Die!"
Shiryu went all out, slashing with ferocity, aiming straight for Jon's head!
Without hesitation, Ace and Jinbei instinctively stood in front of Jon.
Unexpectedly, this slash was just a feint, with the real killer move yet to come.
Roaring madly, driven by hatred, Shiryu unleashed his fastest speed ever.
Without a word, he swung his sword directly at Jon's head!
