"Mushi!"
The remaining officers exclaimed in shock, their eyes instantly reddened. They were not only Hody's subordinates, but also childhood playmates.
"Let's go together, kill him!"
"Avenge Mushi!"
The officers charged forward one after another.
Only Hody Jones remained still, standing in place, coldly watching Jack.
"Take my hammer, Doss!"
Charging from the left was a Fishman named Tos, wielding a giant spiked iron hammer.
Jack took half a step back, precisely dodging the hammer, casually grabbed Tos's wrist, and lightly twisted it.
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking was clear. Doss let out a wailing scream, and Jack promptly seized the heavy hammer, smashing him into the ground, turning him into minced meat.
Then, Jack grabbed Dharma, who had leapt to his shoulder to bite him, with one hand, and Jieou, who was lurking invisibly behind him, with the other.
After knocking them unconscious by smashing them together, he threw them towards the first swordsman of Fishman Island, Hyouzou, who was coming at him with a slash.
The flash of a blade passed, and these two unconscious officers were instantly cut in half.
"Oh dear." Hyouzou hesitated slightly, a troubled look on his drunken face, "This really is..."
Before he could finish his words, Jack's right hand was already clutching his throat, and he twisted and broke his neck.
In just a few seconds.
All the officers of the New Fishman Pirate Crew had turned into corpses on the ground.
Only then did Jack turn his gaze to Hody Jones.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
To Jack's surprise, Hody was applauding with a smile, as if the ones dead on the ground were unrelated passersby:
"You, not bad, really not bad! With this kind of strength, you're almost catching up to that old thing Jinbe. This is how you honor the bloodline of the Fishman Race!"
"If a monster like you were to join us, our New Fishman Pirate Crew's fame would spread even more quickly. Hey, big guy, want to join my ranks?"
Jack didn't respond, looking at him as if he were an idiot.
"Quite arrogant, huh. Looks like I'll have to beat you into submission first."
Hody didn't mind, spreading a grin, "Even in my regular state, I probably wouldn't have much of a way to deal with you, but..."
He took out a few Fierce Medicine ES pills, first eating just one, then hesitated and stuffed the rest into his mouth, grinning evilly:
"—Now I'm invincible!!!"
Hody's body suddenly swelled, muscles bulging, veins popping, eyes blood red, emitting a monstrous aura!
Boom!
He stomped the ground with tremendous force, charging at Jack at a terrifying speed, his fist aimed fiercely at Jack's chest!
However...
Smack.
Jack caught his fist easily with just one hand, standing like a tower, completely immobile.
"What?!"
Hody's pupils shrank suddenly.
"Is this all...?"
Jack looked down at him, "Seriously, what a letdown... You've used so much of that drug, and you're still this weak?"
"You!" Hody raged, throwing another punch!
Jack still caught it with one hand, then suddenly exerted force—
"Crack!"
Hody's wrists were instantly crushed!
"Ahhh!!" Hody let out a piercing scream, but before he could react, Jack's knee slammed into his abdomen!
Bam!
Hody's body bent like a shrimp, blood spurting from his mouth, his whole body was sent flying back, crashing heavily into the wall!
"Cough... cough cough..."
Hody struggled to get up, fear finally appearing in his eyes, "Impossible... With just one pill of Fierce Medicine, my power doubles, and two pills should double it again, I just swallowed a full four pills..."
"Impossible!"
Hody shook his head frantically, taking out another handful of Fierce Medicine ES from his bosom, gulping them all down, "Not enough, I need to be stronger... stronger!!!"
His body swelled again, all his black hair suddenly turning white, even blood seeping from the corners of his eyes, his face twisted like a demon.
"Die!!!"
Hody roared, charging once more, the momentum even more terrifying, creating a storm of furious air currents in his wake.
Yet—
Jack merely sidestepped slightly, easily evading his attack, then countered with a backhand hand chop covered in black Haki, striking Hody's nape directly!
"Boom!"
Hody's body went rigid, eyes bulging, before collapsing to the ground like a heap of sludge, completely unconscious.
"..."
Jack looked down at the unconscious Hody, shaking his head.
"Clown."
Even lighter than he imagined, this guy, even after taking that Fierce Medicine, was still at this level. Without the drug, he probably wouldn't even match the Super Rookies he met at Shampodi.
Raising his foot, he was about to crush Hody's skull when suddenly his gaze was drawn to a thick book lying nearby.
It seemed to have just fallen from Hody's body. Jack picked it up and flipped through it casually.
A diary?
To think this scoundrel even had such a habit.
The front was filled with crazy ravings, talking about ruling the world and exterminating other races.
Jack's brows furrowed as he read, but then his attention was caught by something further in, his expression changing.
He immediately took out a Radio Snail from his pocket, but before he could dial, the Radio Snail belonging to Hody by the sofa rang first.
Broo broo—
Jack thought for a moment but decided to connect the call, remaining silent.
"Hey, Brother Hody!"
From the other end of the Radio Snail came a greasy, lecherous voice, "It's me, Daken! It's been a while since we got in touch now, so tell me, when are you planning to execute your plan to overthrow the Neptune Army?"
