"Thank you to players Jinbei and Barrett for arriving on time. Now, in the Zaun Strongest Challenge, the sixteenth and eighth games will be played, and the last game will officially begin! I don't know who will be the last player to qualify for the quarterfinals.

Where is Mr. Barrett? Or is he Jinbe, the master of fish-man karate from the mysterious fish-man island that is 10,000 meters deep in the sea?! Let’s look forward to it!”

After Lemon saw Barrett and Jinbe standing on the ring, he took the microphone and said loudly.

"Let's make a move! Jinbei! Since you are the first crew member of Kaido's daughter, I will let you make a move first!"

Barrett folded his arms around his chest, raised his chin, and looked down at Jinbei due to his height. He expected Jinbei to bring him some small surprises.

"I don't need your humility!"

Jinbei put on a fish-man karate stance and stood in front of Barrett, ready to fight.

"Ouch!"

"Do you want me to strike first? Do you just want to quit? Or are you planning to imitate that idiot Jack who has no strength but only passion? My fists are not as weak as Quinn's. I will beat you alive."

dead."

Barrett saw that Jinbe had no intention of going up, so he spoke with some dissatisfaction.

"Asshole~"

Quinn listened to Barrett's voice in the lounge and kept muttering in a low voice. Although he hated Barrett's words, what the other party said was true. That Barrett was a living monster. One punch

A monster that can blow up a mountain.

"Stop talking nonsense and attack!"

Jinbei said and closed his eyes. Facing a monster like Barrett, he only has one chance. If this attack fails, then he will never have any chance to defeat Barrett.

"Hehehehehahahaha..."

Barrett laughed crazily as he listened to Jinbei's words. He slightly arched his body behind him and covered his laughing face with one hand. The veins of the other hand were exposed and formed into a claw shape as if to pinch.

It's like exploding invisible air... The most terrifying thing is that when people notice his 'claws', they really subconsciously think that the other person can crush the air or even space.

"Then go to hell!"

Barrett announced Jinbei's fate in an extremely calm tone. Yes, he was simply declaring Jinbei's future fate, because the moment Jinbei angered him, he was destined to die.

"Never open your eyes, just die quietly! Because it will be faster!"

Barrett turned into an afterimage. As a superhuman fruit user, without activating his abilities, he only relied on his pure body to show physical fitness that far exceeded that of animal fruit users. This is

The reason why Barrett is called a monster.

"Hey! Barrett! Are you strong? Probably no one in this sea would deny that you are a strong person, right?!"

"But! As a crew member of the future Pirate King, if I don't defeat a strong man like you, how can I be worthy of the title of crew member of the Pirate King!"

The moment Barrett's palm was about to get close to Jinbei's neck, Jinbei moved! He closed his eyes tightly, as if he had predicted the future, and his body naturally sank down, avoiding Barrett's powerful blow.

"boom!"

Barrett's palm, which had been swung empty, made a huge sonic boom sound. His casual blow had exceeded the speed of sound propagating in the air.

"null!"

A powerful wave of air was like an eight-level gust of wind, which made the audience unable to open their eyes.

"Mysterious truth!"

However, Barrett, who had not thought that he needed a second blow to deal with Jinbei, could no longer dodge Jinbei's prepared blow.

"Burayuki!"

It contains the power from every bone in Jinbei's body. It is an absolutely violent punch that turns all the power in his body into one point with Ryu Sakura and injects it into the enemy's body.

Jinbe once used this punch to blow up the eight-hundred-ton super Neptune-like creature with one punch. Yes, he blew it up directly. The Neptune-like creature was knocked out of the water and into the sky. Then the energy spread throughout the body and turned into countless blood splatters.

.

Because this boxing technique is too violent after being integrated into Ryu Sakura, Jinbe rarely uses it.

"Pap..."

Even with Barrett's terrifying physical fitness, he could not withstand the supreme skill from Jinpei. He knelt down directly in front of Jinbei, clutching his abdomen and twitching.

"it's over!"

Jinbei looked at Barrett kneeling in front of him, took back his stance, placed his fists on both sides of his body and bowed slightly to Barrett.

"Oh my God! Oh my God! The invincible Mr. Barrett, Zauan was defeated by Jinbe in his first punch. Is the power of karate really so terrifying?"

Lemon looked at Barrett who was kneeling in front of Jinpei, and his eyes flashed with disbelief. He really couldn't believe that the man who was imprisoned on the sixth floor of the deep-sea prison, the man who once dominated the Roger ship, even if the navy wanted to deal with it.

He, who also needed to dispatch a general or even five warships to launch the demon-slaying order, was actually beaten to the ground in Zaun by someone.

Are the people of Zaun... all a group of monsters? And what kind of strength is Kaido, the monster king, who is sitting on the throne and yawning at this scene?

"It's fishman karate!"

Jinbe listened to Lemon's words and loudly promoted the fishman culture.

"Um... what do you say, Jinbei?"

Lemon was slightly confused because of Jinbei's sudden words.

"Let me tell you! My boxing technique is fish-man karate. Even ordinary people with a weak physique can show strong strength after learning the karate of our fish-men. In recent years, I have specially trained it for the fish-men.

The karate has been improved, and even ordinary humans can learn it. If you are interested, you can go to the karate tube opened by our fish-men tribe to learn, we will not refuse you!"

Jinbe took the referee's microphone next to him and took advantage of this plan to promote the culture of his fishmen. There was no way! If he wanted the people of Zaan to accept the words of his fishmen more, it would not be enough if he did not show this sincerity.

"Murloc Karate?!"

"Speaking of which, I have always wanted to enroll my child in an extracurricular class, but I haven't decided whether to go to a kendo gym to learn swordsmanship or boxing. Now I have new considerations..."

"This boxing technique is indeed very practical! That Barrett was defeated!"

"It's just...it's..."

The audience in the stands had a heated discussion in response to Jinbei's words. Jinbei had indeed made the people of Zaan pay attention to the fishmen.

"Hey! That trick just now was very interesting! Even now I'm feeling itchy~"

Just when Jinbei was watching with satisfaction that countless spectators in the stands were beginning to show interest in fish-man karate, a monster that looked like a Shura ghost stood behind Jinbei and unleashed his murderous intent and malice unscrupulously.

"when?!"

Jinbe felt the cold voice behind him and the piercing murderous intent. His whole body felt like he was in an ice cave. He felt that his heart was about to stop beating due to the excessive cold. This was a biological creature facing a player who was too desperate to defeat.

The state of suspended animation that arises is the most primitive instinct.

"Hey! You haven't answered my question yet? What happened to that punch that hurt my abdomen just now?"

Barrett lifted up his shirt, revealing his strong appendage, with a faint red trace. This trace was the trace left by Jinbei's punch that could blow up the Super Neptune type with one punch.

"Are you kidding? What is the structure of your body!?"

Because of Barrett's culture, Jinbei, whose heart beat again and exited the state of biological suspended animation, turned back and looked at the scarlet mark on Barrett's abdomen, feeling not very good.

"snort!"

Jinbei remained calm on the surface, but in fact his legs began to tremble non-stop as he walked towards the outside of the venue step by step.

"Um?!"

Barrett, who seemed to be still waiting for Jinbei to answer the question, couldn't understand Jinbei's actions for a while. He just looked at Jinbei quietly, thinking that Jinbei could bring him more interesting surprises.

Then Jinbe did give Barrett a big surprise. Jinbe jumped off the ring and announced to the referee that he had surrendered.

"Hey! What do you mean?!"

Barrett came to the front of the plane in a flash, as fast as moving in an instant.

But the huge sonic boom and the endless wind pressure told everyone that Barrett ran here on his own two legs.

"The meaning of karate is to hit the road. Since you have accepted my secret, then I have lost the game. We! There is no reason to continue the game!"

Jinbe calmed down his excitement and spoke to Barrett seriously.

"Hey you……"

Barrett looked at Jinbei thoughtfully, and he wanted to say something to Jinbei.

"Because player Jinbei voluntarily surrendered, the last place in the top eight is won by player Barrett! All the top eight players are invited to come to the ring to meet the audience and complete the draw for tomorrow's semifinals!"

But at this moment, contestant Lemon, as the host, loudly announced the news of his victory and the next steps.

"Um!"

Jinbei waved slightly to Barrett, and walked step by step toward the contestant tunnel with his hands behind his back. As a loser, he already needed to exit.

"Is this a fish-man clan, Jinbei? He's an enigmatic guy! And that magical move, is it called fish-man karate? It's interesting!"

Barrett looked at Jinbei's back and gently rubbed his chin. He hadn't been so interested in someone for a long time. The last time he had just fought against Kaido and was defeated by him was with a smile.

"call……"

"Scared me!"

Jinbei walked into the players' lounge with a steady pace, and found an uninhabited corner that could not be captured by the surveillance cameras. He gently wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. That Barrett was so strong that he didn't talk about it at all.

What a monster of reason! How could I win against such a monster! I have practiced the skills for countless years, but facing absolute power is just a joke... No! At least I still hurt the opponent. If I didn't know how to do this,

If you use different techniques, your results will be even more embarrassing.

"Jinbei played well!" Yamato noticed Jinbei, who was holding on to the wall and dripping with sweat. She patted Jinbei's shoulder gently, then passed through the contestant tunnel and walked towards the ring. "After that, it's time to hand over.

give it to me!"

"Well! I leave it to you, Captain!"
Chapter completed!
