Chapter 134
Title: Jack the Drought (1)
....
Onigashimu. It was the headquarters of the Pirate Beasts. Most of the crew members stayed here, so even other Emperors would think twice before attacking this place. Ace is different. He had one goal, to kill Jack and he would risk anything to achieve that.
As a pirate, he had done many bad deeds, but he had never killed anyone before. However, losing a friend changes it.
Still, he only wanted to kill Jack, not fight with all the Pirate Beasts. For that reason, right now, he and the crew are undercover.
Therefore, Amon and Ace's crew are now heading to Onigashima in a small boat!
According to Amon, Jack was still in Onigashima, and Reo was sent to Udon's captive mine. Of course, for a person like Reo who could not bear to see the weak suffer, it made him very angry. However, he was not brave enough to do something that went against Amon's plan.
Amon didn't care and paid more attention to tonight's attack.
«...★...»
Zha!
Rough ocean waves, jumping high in the sky, collided with each other. The giant fish and the sea king jumped out of the water with their mouths wide open, they were fighting amongst themselves, biting each other.
It was a tumultuous sight, yet, surprisingly, among this harsh climate a small boat moved across the sea.
Inside the boat, a person wearing a black jacket, as if magic, controlled the water and swung a sword made from it towards the sea king.
"!"
shhh!
The water bar cut through the fish's head in seconds, splashing most of the water onto a small boat.
"Aah!" The boat shook due to the impact of the water, the riders shouted but finally managed to hold back.
It took them a while to regain their composure as they looked to the water controllers.
"Woohooo! It was amazing, like Jimbei!" The people who boarded the boat cheered towards the one who controlled the water, Amon.
They were all wearing black jackets and black pants, while a pair of red horns were on their heads. People would assume they were members of the Beast Pirates, but in truth, they were Spade Pirates!
According to Amon's plan, along with Amon himself, the crew went undercover and headed for Onigashima.
"Man, you're good" Ace said as he stood up from his reclining position. He fell when the water hit the boat. "How many abilities do you have?" he asked while patting his wet chest.
Amon laughed in response. "Much."
They did not ask much and just chatted while killing some sea kings and holding the boat.
They left some time ago from Kuri, Amon promised O-Tama to come back and pick her up later.
Soon after, they reached the outskirts of Onigashima.
...
"So, where are we going now...?"
Ace asked while crouching behind a box. The crew crouched down like him, hiding behind boxes and pillars of cargo ships anchored in the shipyard.
In Onigashima, Kaido receives 'Smiles' from Doffy by these ships. Amon and the crew hide inside one of them.
Onigashima, though not as big as Wano, is still quite big. That was the reason why Ace, in the canon, was able to destroy something yet no one from the 'Flying Six' attacked him, nor any other, just because he was far from a big shot. He was just happy chatting with Yamato and eating with him.
Right now, they were in the part of the island where Jack was standing guard, away from the 'Three Flies'. As Amon had planned, there was no other big face to stop them other than Jack right now.
Amon's plan goes like this— 1. Make an Ace against Jack. Of course, he will lose.
Then intervene and kill Jack. But make sure word gets out that 'Ace killed Jack'.
Be careful with variables, such as Yamato who will most likely intervene. And that's when Amon will move and steal the diary – gives Ace all the credits.
It was a well thought out plan, and no problems would occur as long as Amon, an Emperor, helped.
Amon is engrossed in looking for Jack with his Observation and does not hear Ace's question.
So, Ace asked again: "Um... Where are we going now?"
"Oh...!" Amon, who was surprised, blinked. "Give me a minute, I'll look for him."
As he said this, Ace nodded and Amon closed his eyes. Even with a range of 300 km, it was difficult to find a certain person in the middle of thousands.
After a few minutes, Amon opened his eyes again and looked at the crew's faces. "Friends, I found it. He's alone and drinks wine."
Ace grinned shortly afterwards. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
«...★...»
On the roof of Jack's private house, he sat on a chair with a barrel of wine in his hand.
He was depressed because his inferior complex hit him hard, and spent time drinking.
Back then – Bam ! – Jack heard a loud noise coming from not so far away.
He instantly got up from the chair and widened his Observation Haki...!!
Jack looked far away and jumped off the roof, jumping deep in the air.
No, he can't use Geppo, he's just confident in his defense.
Buk !
Jack falls between several soldiers, making a hole in the ground.
"J-Jack-sama! There's intruders!"
Jack walked with heavy steps. "I know."
"Prepare to fight."
He walked as he slowly began to change. He was in a bad mood, so he was going to use his Hybrid form, which despite weakening his defenses, was quite fast and powerful.
Slowly, Jack's body changes as he transforms into a Half-elephant, Half-furry human!

The crew wants to get close to Jack, but from a mistake made by one of the crew members, they attract the attention of the other small fries after entering Jack's residence.
The crew easily takes them out, but one of the enemies uses a bomb to make a small explosion, thus alerting Jack.
While the crew eventually finish off a small number of enemies within the borders of Jack's house, they find the man with an elephant-like trunk, horns and feathers walking towards them.
Behind him, another horde followed, but strangely, they slowly fell down without a sound. It was as if someone was moving extremely fast and knocking them down. Jack did not notice this action at all, he just looked angry.
He opened his jaw. "Oh, so. So you followed me all the way here?"
The crew noticed, Ace's wrinkles knitted.
Meanwhile, Jack's aura seemed to subside a little at the sight of these weak bastards. Originally, he had assumed, to dare infiltrate the Pirate Beasts headquarters, the other party had to be strong, but to think it was these weaklings!
However, soon after, his pulse appeared, he was already angry than before, but now this made him even more angry. "Hehe.. you stupid idiot."
Jack did not care anymore, he did not kill them last time because of Reo, but he had snapped now. He would only rest after killing Ace!!
Wooh!
Jack kicked the ground and ran forward at an astonishing speed. This hybrid form allows him to act quickly while still producing great power.
However, Ace did not plan to retreat now. He could not remember what he did last time, the special technique he used. His anger did not allow it.
Ace began to heat up the steam around his fists, as soon as it began to shine brightly.
" Fire ..." Ace punches Jack who is only 10 meters away from him. " Fist !"
He had perfected this technique on his way here, now he was able to generate heat equivalent to an actual flame!
Zha – Boom !
Ace's fist glowed blue and gushed towards Jack 10 meters away, immediately, it caught his fur as he burned in flames!
"W-Wow, he's on fire!"
"Ace won!"
The crew cheered but it didn't even last 2 seconds when they realized that Jack didn't stop in his tracks and was about to hit Ace's face with his trunk.
For a moment, they got a flashback of Deuce. They remember how he was killed.
"No, As!" Perry's voice was loudest among the crew members who shouted.
Jack obviously didn't care and swung his suitcase. Ace clenched his teeth to receive a punch as one moved.
Bam!
Jack hits Ace, but the punch doesn't touch him. Because a man has walked among them.
"Well, isn't this interesting? You're on fire, but are you okay?" It was the soothing voice of the masked man. "Hah, the defense of the Ancient Zoan is terrible ..."
Jack did not reply, he was just a little shocked as to where and how this man had suddenly come here. He didn't even see it move. Still, Jack only took a step back and breathed in the air with his trunk.
Fwooh !
Then with a single gust of wind on his body, he put out the flames. It was interesting how he could do it because normally, his fur would burn hotter because of oxygen.
As if guessing a question, Jack answered. "Logic doesn't work when you exceed a certain threshold of strength."
He's correct. Logic doesn't work for some people, however, Jack isn't the only one. Amon is one of them.
Amon suddenly laughed, "Haha, isn't that right? Buuut, you are weak . Jack the Drought, let me show you, the limits of power without logic."
While Jack was shocked and angry, Amon raised his hand towards Jack's head. "This is true power, it defies logic."
His hand suddenly shone: "!"
A yellow-redness compressed light beam shot out from Amon's palm and towards Jack, who had wide eyes. It was plasma, pure heat extracted from lightning!
Jack has wide eyes in a world that is slowing down. As he observed the beam coming at him slowly, he was deep in thought.
'It's like the hot breath of Kaido-sama!' thought Jack.
He could not think anymore as he was exposed to the rays on his face, immediately being completely engulfed by the beams as it grew in size.
Zhhh~
The air was immediately filled with the crisp aroma of Mammoth meat.
