“What is that thing?”
Jack's first reaction upon seeing the figure leap down was not to dodge, but to raise his right arm and strike upward.
He had seen such colossal beasts before, and even larger ones.
As for the fact that this beast had killed a Vice Admiral, Jack was never worried. To him, even if Marshal Crane Tengu were on the same ship, he would dare to charge in for a fight.
In fact, the beast's majestic presence made him think it could be a pet.
“Die for me!”
Jack's right hand was enveloped in Armament Haki as he struck upward.
Xiaqiu's front right claw also came crashing down.
“True Dragon Claw Technique.”
Xiaqiu's claw had four toes, while Sabo's simulated dragon claw only had three.
Four claws represented a dragon; three claws were a deformity.
With a single swipe of its claw, all of Xiaqiu's weight and power, along with its Armament Haki, concentrated on that one claw.
Boom!
The fist and the claw collided, producing a tremendous sound.
“What immense power.”
Jack felt his arm tremble violently as if it were about to split apart, the power surging through his arm and into his body.
Boom.
With a push of his legs, Jack propelled himself away, creating distance between him and the threat.
Bang.
Xiaqiu's right claw slammed down onto the ground, causing the ice layer to crack and spread outwards.
Then Xiaqiu's other five claws pressed down as well, with Heckler positioned directly beneath him.
"Boss."
Heckler shouted loudly upon seeing Xiaqiu.
"You go support Peach Rabbit."
Xiaqiu replied quickly, "Vivi and the others can't hold out for long."
"Understood."
Heckler immediately jumped out of the ice hole and leaped into the distance.
"Can they actually talk?"
Jack was slightly taken aback by Xiaqiu's words, but in the next moment, Xiaqiu's figure flickered and charged towards him.
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Jack snorted coldly, raising both hands to press down on Xiaqiu's head.
Bang.
Xiaqiu collided directly with Jack, who felt an immense force hit him, leaving him powerless to resist as he was sent flying backward.
Boom.
Xiaqiu followed closely behind, charging at Jack in mid-air, its sharp horns aimed at his chest.
"Nice try."
Jack grasped Xiaqiu's horns with both hands to steady himself, but being suspended in the air left him with no leverage to counter Xiaqiu's strength.
Rumbling.
Xiaqiu propelled Jack away, racing several hundred meters before coming to a sudden halt.
Bang.
Jack leaped backward and crashed heavily onto the ground, gasping for breath.
The power of this beast was overwhelming; it was far larger than himself.
"But my strength is not limited to this."
With a roar, Jack's form suddenly transformed into a massive Mammoth.
Standing about ten meters tall and fifteen meters long, it had two curved tusks measuring seven or eight meters in length.
Its body was covered in dense, grayish-brown fur, and four sturdy legs stomped on the Ice Surface, while its long trunk hung down to the ground.
Animal type, ancient species, Mammoth Fruit, Mammoth form.
After transforming into a massive Mammoth, Jack slowly retreated, moving back seven or eight meters before suddenly accelerating and charging towards Xiaqiu.
"Come at me."
Xiaqiu opened its mouth wide, looking at Jack. With a powerful push of its six legs, it lunged forward to collide.
Clang.
The first point of contact between the two was their teeth.
Jack's tusks clashed against Xiaqiu's teeth, producing a sound like metal striking metal.
Crack.
After a brief standoff, Jack's tusks began to shatter piece by piece.
The tusks of the Mammoth were long, reaching two-thirds of its height and curving forward. However, the length of the tusks compromised their support. Even with Armament Haki applied, they crumbled under the immense force of Xiaqiu.
In the next moment, Xiaqiu's teeth bent backward. Then, with a flick of its tongue, it dislodged its teeth and spat them onto the ground.
Its teeth were far sturdier than Jack's tusks. The teeth themselves were incredibly strong, and after enhancement, they rivaled the material of a Black Blade. Combined with Armament Haki, they were nearly indestructible.
The only issue was the connection points at the gums and roots, which were directly uprooted upon impact.
Hmph.
After delivering a blow, Jack immediately retreated again, this time pulling back over a hundred meters before charging once more.
"Come at me."
Xiaqiu did not dodge or evade, charging forward once more.
Boom.
The two heads collided, like the detonation of a bomb, producing a deafening sound that echoed around them, sending shockwaves rippling outward.
Crack.
The ice beneath their feet instantly caved in, forming a massive pit about four to five meters deep and over a hundred meters in diameter.
"Ah."
Jack let out a cry of pain; the spot where he was struck had already exploded, leaving a gruesome mess of flesh and blood.
Meanwhile, Xiaqiu's head was bruised and scaled, but the muscles beneath remained intact.
"That hurts."
Jack howled in agony but refused to concede, pushing forward relentlessly.
The two were locked in a struggle; Jack kept retreating, his four legs straining with effort, yet he could not hold his ground.
"Quite resilient."
Seeing Jack's determination, Xiaqiu felt a sense of admiration. Even now, he refused to back down; surely he wasn't just a fool.
"Then let's see what you've got."
Xiaqiu snorted coldly, deliberately stepping back to separate from Jack before leaping into the air, ascending higher and higher.
"Are you afraid now?"
Seeing Xiaqiu soar into the sky, Jack threw his head back and roared.
At that moment, Xiaqiu reached the highest point, hanging upside down, and began to plummet downward.
"Super Gravity Armored Headbutt."
Xiaqiu's strongest move, Moon Step, combined gravity, Armament Haki, and all of its strength, condensing its body as it fell toward the ground.
Facing this attack from Xiaqiu, Jack did not dodge or evade; instead, he bent down and thrust his head upward.
Boom.
The two heads collided with a sound like thunder cracking in the clear sky, reverberating outward.
Boom.
The Ice Surface beneath Jack caved in again, sinking nearly twenty meters deep, while the surrounding area with a diameter of two hundred meters also collapsed.
Bang.
Jack's head exploded, his four legs bending with a crack. Even his body began to swell and twist inch by inch.
Crackling.
Jack's spine shattered completely, turning into a mass of flesh.
Creaking.
The ice layer below continued to fracture, unable to support the weight of both bodies.
Thud.
Xiaqiu leaped into the distance, shaking his head.
Jack, on the other hand, plunged directly into the ocean, transforming into his true form as he slowly descended into the depths.
"It hurts a bit."
Xiaqiu grimaced; part of the muscle in his head had burst open, blood flowing freely, revealing white bone beneath.
This impact was even more destructive than crashing into Royal Hill.
Royal Hill was stationary, while Jack possessed immense power.
Moreover, Jack had covered his head with Armament Haki, making it incredibly tough, which damaged his Haki, scales, and muscles.
It had been a long time since he had sustained such serious injuries; Jack was formidable.
"Challenging me in strength—are you foolish or just plain stupid?"
Xiaqiu shook his head. This was the simplest battle he had ever experienced; he had never seen anyone so foolish as to fight him head-on.
From start to finish, his greatest strength was power, and everyone avoided battling him with brute force.
In terms of strength, having defeated Hody Jones made him nearly comparable to an admiral.
Then he defeated Virgo; only Akainu among the three admirals could possibly match him.
After that, he landed in Dressrosa and took down Pika, along with Mahabais and Doflamingo.
Pika was at the level of a Vice Admiral. Although Doflamingo's Devil Fruit ability was formidable, his overall quality surpassed that of a Vice Admiral. Together with Mahabais, the three of them combined could match the strength of three Vice Admirals.
Once Xiaqiu defeated those three, his power surpassed even that of Whitebeard.
So Jack's choice to compete against himself in strength was his greatest mistake.
Especially when he directly destroyed his strongest move.
More importantly, Jack's physical strength was likely not much weaker than that of a general, or even...
If he were to consume him, he would truly reach a new level.
Xiaqiu thought as he dove into the sea, swimming towards Jack.
Come on, let us merge into one.
