Chapter 96 - The Ultimate Skill Reappears

Sengoku: Jon Joestar, we must not let him live!

Jon: (ヘ?)

Sengoku: Not convinced?

Jon: Your account is deleted.

Sengoku: ???

Compared to Sengoku's transformed Buddha, Jon's Buddha form was taller and slimmer.

He looked down at his hands, then suddenly raised his arms and crossed them in front of his chest.

Time ticked by.

Nothing happened.

Both the marines and pirates were puzzled, countless question marks popping up over their heads.

Jon lowered his hands with a solemn expression, feeling a bit disappointed. "I knew it; I can't shoot light beams."

The Buddha form's "purity" was still too low.

The atmosphere was eerily silent.

Just then, laughter rang out across the battlefield.

"Gurararara!"

Such laughter was unique in the world.

A great pirate, 'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate!

Whitebeard thought there was nothing left in the world that could surprise him.

But now...

He looked up at the young man transformed into a Buddha and curiously asked, "Jon, how did you do that?"

Jon clenched his fists, "Old man, now's not the time for small talk."

Whitebeard laughed even louder, grabbing his naginata and resting it on his shoulder. "Then we'll talk later!"

Compared to Whitebeard, Fleet Admiral Sengoku was so furious he could curse.

How could you transform into a Buddha too?

Startled awake in illness, the fake turned out to be me.

Absurd!

Jon rolled his eyes and called out, "Sengoku!"

Sengoku was startled.

Then, the old man regained his composure, defiantly replying, "Scoundrel!"

Even if I stole your skill, there's no need to scold me.

Three black lines appeared on Jon's forehead.

Pausing, he then calmed his mind and continued, "Sengoku, do you dare to face me in a death match?"

The world fell silent.

Everyone watching the battle was stunned.

What did they just hear?

A mere pirate daring to challenge the Fleet Admiral to a duel to the death?

It's often said there's no wrong name, only the wrong nickname.

'Madman'

Indeed, he was mad beyond measure!

Whitebeard looked at Jon in surprise.

Jon lowered his head, a slight smile forming on his lips.

Whitebeard instantly understood.

Everything was clear without words.

Sengoku's face burned, his expression darkening.

How dare he...

How dare that brat!

But the 'wise general' was still 'wise.'

Even in extreme anger, Sengoku didn't lose his reason, calmly saying, "Kid, do you think war is a game?"

In a few words, Jon's verbal assault was rendered ineffective.

If it were someone else, they might have been stumped.

But Jon was who?

The most cunning of all (crossed out)

The smart JoJo!

He stepped forward, causing giant waves, seemingly accidentally bumping the Moby Dick, "Sengoku, are you so old that you can't take the head of a pirate anymore?

Or are you afraid of me?"

Attacking the heart first.

These words struck deep.

Even if Sengoku didn't want to fight Jon, for the sake of the navy's dignity, he had to.

As expected.

Sengoku pretended to be enraged, roaring, "Nonsense! Scoundrel, come forward and die!"

Jon snorted coldly.

Golden light gathered on his fists.

It seemed they were about to fight without a word!

"Let me show you my ultimate move, Blazing Dragon Slash Heaven Flash!"

Meanwhile, in the guard room of Impel Down.

Demoted to a regular guard, Magellan suddenly stood up.

Damn! Not again?

Back at Marineford, Sengoku and many marines were on high alert.

Daring to call his move 'ultimate.'

It must be extraordinary.

When 'Golden Lion' Shiki fought Sengoku and Garp, half of Marineford was destroyed.

Jon Joestar, the pirate with a ten-billion bounty from the start, must have comparable strength!

Sengoku, Garp, the three admirals, the Warlords, marines, and pirates...

At the same time, the world focused on the gigantic figure.

Jon clasped his hands together, shouting.

In an instant, golden light engulfed everything!

Up! Down! Left! Right!

Where would Jon Joestar's attack come from?

Everyone was guessing, everyone was on guard.

Except...

Sengoku himself.

"Damn Jon! Soldiers! Don't be fooled! It's a trap!"

In the blinding light, the Fleet Admiral might have been the only one unaffected.

He watched as Jon released the intense light, then turned and pushed the Moby Dick, reverting from Buddha form, and ran away with Whitebeard.

So the essence of 'Blazing Dragon Slash Heaven Flash' was in the last word?

How could there be such shameless people in the world?

With the warning, tens of thousands of marines quickly opened their eyes.

But Jon Joestar was nowhere to be seen.

"Pu."

On the edge of the fortress, Kizaru couldn't help but laugh.

He adjusted his sunglasses, "Crafty kid."

"Using strong light to escape." Akainu's face was stern, "He must not be allowed to live!"

Aokiji adjusted his blindfold.

It seemed there would be no battle today.

Sengoku turned abruptly, locking eyes with Aokiji.

Aokiji scratched his head and sighed, "Do I have to?"

"You do!" Sengoku's tone was resolute.

On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard laughed heartily.

"Gurararara, Jon, you really played ten thousand marines!"

Jon waved it off.

Normal operation, regular operation.

Ace, Marco, and others looked at Jon with complex expressions, unable to speak for a while.

But Usopp of the Straw Hat crew looked at Jon with eyes full of admiration.

To use escape tactics so skillfully...

I am not alone in my path!

"Hee hee hee, you're so interesting."

Suddenly, Luffy laughed like a monkey, "Be my companion, let's go on adventures together!"

"Luffy!" Ace, realizing his silly brother's blunder, quickly knocked him on the head. "Stop talking nonsense. You haven't thanked Dad and Brother Jon yet!"

A life-saving favor was monumental.

Even though Luffy was carefree, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and, with his crew, respectfully bowed to Jon and Whitebeard.

"Old man, Big Brother Jon, thank you for saving us!"

Though Luffy usually acted foolish, he was serious when it mattered.

Jon nodded, playing the excellent master.

Whitebeard looked pleased, "Luffy, no need for such formalities. Your grandfather Garp and I are old acquaintances."

See?

In this world, if your connections aren't solid, you can't survive on the sea.

Just like how the Hokage must be a disciple of a Hokage, the Pirate King must be a relative of a Pirate King...

Everyone was like family, making the atmosphere warm.

Suddenly, a black dot appeared in the sky!

Whitebeard was the first to sense danger, swinging his naginata fiercely, "Kuzan, you dare!"

The approaching Aokiji didn't confront Whitebeard head-on.

Using 'Geppo' to dodge Whitebeard's strike, he pressed down with one hand, infusing the surrounding seawater with freezing power.

"Though it's a bother, it seems my Fleet Admiral doesn't want to let you go."
