In the Grand Line, Devil's Triangle, just as the members of the Rocks Pirates were having a lively and noisy banquet, a huge sailing ship was sailing in the fog towards them.
Jhin sat alone at the bow, drinking.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and looked towards a patch of fog.
"Why do I feel like I'm being watched?"
Slowly standing up, Jhin flapped his wings behind him and flew to the high observation tower.
The shadow of a huge ship loomed from the thick fog.
"Is it an enemy, or a sunken ship?"
Jhin looked at the huge shadow of the ship, somewhat unable to make any judgment.
However, even if he couldn't tell, Jhin wouldn't let any threat get close.
"Hmph! Whether it's an enemy or a sunken ship, now is not the time for you to get close!"
"bake!"
Blazing flames burned from his body.
"Imperial Flame Fist!"
"Buzz!"
A huge column of flame erupted from his fist and headed towards the huge silhouette of the ship.
The thick white mist seemed to be slightly distorted under his blazing flaming fist.
However, when Jhin's flaming fist hit the huge ship's shadow, it disappeared without a trace.
"Huh? What's going on?!"
Jhin stared at the huge ship with wide eyes.
"Is it an enemy?!"
"You bastard!"
"All men on duty, protect the ship! There is an enemy attack!"
Jin whispered an order to the pirates on duty tonight, then transformed into Suzaku form and flew towards the huge ship.
He is now extremely confident in his own strength.
As the fourth strongest force on the ship, he didn't think that anyone could threaten him in the first half of this grand route.
Looking at Jin disappearing into the fog, the pirates on duty looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Where is the enemy that Master Jin mentioned? Why can't I see it?"
"Hey, Master Jin flew into the fog!"
"Should we go tell Boss Rocks?"
"Forget it, Boss Rocks and his men are having a banquet. Besides, with Lord Jin to deal with the enemies, there's nothing to worry about."
"That's right, Master Jin's strength is extremely strong."
"I want to attend the party, too."
"Stop talking nonsense, return to your posts and be ready for enemy attacks at any time. I will report to the officers."
A pirate leader gave an order to the other pirates and rushed to the banquet hall.
At this time, the banquet hall was still very lively. Singing, music, and roars echoed throughout the banquet hall.
However, there were also many people who were drunk and fell asleep with their legs spread out.
Among them are Barrett, Rocks, and Sasaki.
"Hiccup, really, I never realized that you can drink so much, Moria."
Barbossa drunkenly said to Moria who was grinning and still feeling nothing.
"Hehehe, if you want to drink me down, you're still a long way off!"
Moria said with a grin, grabbed the wine barrel in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
Barbossa's face twitched as he watched Moria grab the one-meter-high wine barrel and drink it in one gulp as if it were oral liquid.
"I must be crazy to challenge this guy to a drinking contest..."
Muttering to himself, Barbossa fell headfirst onto the table and fell into a deep sleep.
"Hehehe! I won!"
Moria shouted excitedly, and his tall figure began to dance.
"M-Lord Moria!"
As soon as the pirate leader entered the banquet hall, he saw Moria's conspicuous figure, and then quickly ran to his side to report.
"Hmm? What is it? Hehehe."
"Lord Moria, Lord Jin has discovered the enemy and has gone to fight him alone. I am worried that the enemy will launch a surprise attack, so I came here to report to you."
The pirate leaders spoke to Moria respectfully.
"Enemy attack? Hehehe! At this time? I see."
Having said that, Moria stood up and walked towards the deck.
"I'll go check it out now."
"Okay, you don't have to bother the others. Just Jin and I will be enough."
"Yes, Lord Moria!"
The pirate leader quickly followed Moria and walked out of the banquet hall together.
Rocks opened his eyes and looked at Moria who was leaving.
"Well, it's a good feeling to have a group of reliable companions."
Having said that, Rocks fell asleep again.
His head now feels like it's about to explode.
Now he just wants to have a good rest.
Let Moria and Jhin take care of the fighting.
Rocks was still very confident in the strength of both of them.
In the fog, Cinder, who had transformed into Suzaku, was flapping his wings and flying towards the huge ship in the fog.
However, after flying for a while, Jhin still didn't see any trace of the ship.
"Am I worrying too much?"
After failing to spot any enemy ships, Jhin murmured in a low voice while flying.
However, just as Jhin was about to return, a huge, dilapidated sailboat suddenly appeared below him.
On the dilapidated sailboat, hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at him coldly.
Jhin looked down and was a little surprised.
I saw all kinds of strange people standing on the deck
Some of them have human bodies and crab heads, some have octopus bodies and human heads, and some are just shells with human limbs.
In short, at first glance, they look like a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
They all held their tongues and stared at Jhin above with cold eyes.
A bone-chilling chill suddenly emerged from Jin's heart.
"What the hell are these guys?!"
"It doesn't look like a murloc, nor does it look like a mermaid!"
Jhin flapped his wings and floated in the air without making any rash moves.
"Da, da, da"
Harsh footsteps could be heard from the ship below.
A tall and strong man wearing a triangular pirate captain's hat, a black captain's coat, and a rapier hanging around his waist walked out of the cabin.
When he looked up at Jhin, Jhin also saw his face.
Under the pirate captain's hat is an octopus-like head.
Dozens of octopus tentacles kept twisting around.
White sticky liquid continuously secreted from his tentacles.
In the octopus's head, a pair of sharp little eyes stared at Jhin in mid-air.
"This guy! Is he a merman?!"
When Jin saw the man's face, he immediately guessed it in his mind.
"Little brat! You're standing so high up, looking at me. Do you think you look down on me? Get down from here!"
The man with the octopus head looked at Cinders in the air and roared angrily. A tentacle on his chin grew rapidly and lashed towards Cinders in the air.
"snort!"
Jhin snorted coldly and flapped his wings to quickly avoid the tentacle attack. Then he flapped his wings and a huge fireball condensed under him and attacked the man below.
"Imperial Flame Ball!"
"Little devil!"
The man with the octopus head became extremely angry when he saw that Jhin dared to fight back.
He drew the rapier from his waist and swung it out with a huge blow.
"boom!"
The slash collided with the fireball and dissipated.
"Attack me! Knock him down!"
