Kitahara Tsune suddenly stepped into the air to gain momentum, unleashing his full speed, but he still couldn't catch up with his opponent's natural speed advantage in the air.

The pterodactyl that Jin transformed into used its pterodactyl body to dive towards the warship at extreme speed.

"Emperor Dan Gong!"

He spread his enormous wings and used his broad, sharp wing blades to cut the entire warship in half.

"Quick! Everyone jump into the sea! He's an ability user; he can't get to the surface!"

Upon seeing this scene, Dori, who had already regained consciousness, hurriedly shouted to the surrounding navy.

The navy personnel were already on alert, and just as the warship was about to break apart and sink, they all jumped into the sea.

As everyone floated on the sea, looking up at the Pteranodon soaring into the air once more, a deep sense of powerlessness arose in their hearts.

Is such a powerful enemy truly something they can contend with?

Dori, in particular, had previously realized the insignificance of his own strength because Kitahara Tsune was almost shelled;

Now, he could only watch helplessly as the other side casually severed his own warships, leaving him to hide in the sea in a sorry state, passively waiting for Kitahara Tsune to come to his aid.

"I'm so useless—I'm just a piece of trash."

Dolly gritted her teeth and silently blamed herself, never wanting to experience such a powerless scene again.

At the bottom of the severed warship's cabin, a group of soldiers from the G5 branch were being held captive.

All they knew was that after being locked in the warehouse, the ship hastily set sail, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

When they saw daylight again, the entire warship had split in two, and they sank into the sea along with the broken hull.

Even worse, their hands were handcuffed.

If it were an ordinary fall into the water, they could barely float and protect themselves, but from the moment the warship broke apart, they knew that a powerful enemy was attacking.

With his hands bound, floating on the sea would only make him a sitting duck.

Moreover, many of them cannot swim, and now that their hands are restrained, they will probably have no choice but to sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

Fortunately, Jin's target was not these nobodies at all.

After cleaving the warship in half, Jhin soared into the sky once more, his next target being Jack the Drought, who was being carried on the backs of two sea monsters.

The two sea monsters had never seen such a terrifying scene before. With Kitahara Tsuneo not by their side and the warship that was pulling them suddenly sinking, the two sea monsters were immediately terrified and scattered like birds.

Jack, now freed from the sea monster's embrace, stared wide-eyed at the Pteranodon soaring through the air.

"Big brother!"

Jack called out, but even at this moment, his tone toward Jhin was still full of awe for Jhin.

As soon as he finished speaking, his body lost its support and slowly sank into the sea.

Just then, the pterosaur circling in the sky suddenly swooped down, grabbed Jack's body with one claw, and lifted him up into the air.

"Big brother, I'm sorry—my mission failed."

Jack, gripped in the giant claws, looked ashamed and spoke respectfully.

"When you get back, you can explain it to Kaido yourself."

Jin spoke calmly, though he cared about the success or failure of the mission, he was more concerned about the secret that Kitahara Tsune had revealed earlier.

Jhin held Jack, hovering in mid-air, his gaze sweeping across the sea.

He had just vaguely seen that the scientist Caesar, who was working with them, had been put into a specially made container, and they were now searching for the whereabouts of that container.

While searching, he asked Jack, "What do you know about that navy officer we just saw?"

"Brother Jin, I was just careless for a moment, that's why he defeated me." Jack's tone was full of indignation. "If we fought head-on again, I would definitely be able to defeat that kid."

"That's not what I'm asking. I need information about his background."

Jack paused for a moment, then replied, "His name is Kitahara Tsuneo, and he's a commodore."

"Six months ago, Ryan Hunt of Sabaody Archipelago was defeated by him. I never expected to run into him in Punk Hazard this time."

After a moment of silence, Jack added, "However—he doesn't seem to be an ordinary human."

Upon hearing this, Jhin immediately stopped searching for Caesar and turned to look at Jack under his claws: "What did he say to you?"

"He's not a fish-man, yet he can speak and breathe freely underwater."

"I asked him how he did it, and he said that his race used to live on the Red Earth."

"He also mentioned to me that you are a member of the Lunaria race, and stated that there are other Lunaria races on the Red Line."

After listening, Jin remained silent for a long time, continuing to search for Caesar's whereabouts on the sea, while countless thoughts churned in his mind.

As far as he knew, the Lunaria race had been expelled from the Red Earth eight hundred years ago.

Could it be that Kitahara Tsune, like himself, originated from an ancient race from eight hundred years ago?

Just then, Kitahara Tsune finally arrived.

Seeing that the warship had been destroyed and Jack had been kidnapped by Jin, Kitahara Tsune did not immediately go forward to fight.

He rushed into the sea, summoned back the two frightened sea creatures, and ordered them to protect the main navy that had fallen into the water, as well as the G5 branch prisoners who had sunk into the sea, and escort everyone back to Punk Hazard.

However, the sealed container that held Caesar had long been swept away by the waves in the chaos, and its whereabouts were unknown.

Fortunately, the container had a transparent viewing window, allowing Caesar to see the changes happening outside.

As for whether they will be unlucky enough to be swallowed by sea monsters or sea creatures, they can only leave it to fate and pray for good fortune.

Jin looked at Kitahara Tsune who was blocking his way and asked, "Jack told me that you are not a fish-man, but you can breathe underwater."

"So, you're from another ancient race?"

Kitahara Tsune shrugged and smiled nonchalantly: "Who knows? Even if I randomly named a race, you might not believe me."

"Glib-tongued."

A few wisps of scorching heat emanated from Ember's enormous dragon mouth. "Once I capture you, I'll find a way to force you to reveal all your secrets."

Jack, secretly alarmed, recalled the rumors about King within the Beasts Pirates:

This leader of the Three Calamities frequently enters and exits Udon Prison. He is skilled in torture and interrogation and has a sadistic side. Even Queen often teases him as a sadistic pervert who loves to torture people.

The next moment, Jin, in his Pteranodon form, flapped his wings violently, and the mysterious flames on his body condensed into fireballs, which he fired densely at Kitahara Tsuneo in mid-air.

Kitahara Tsune dodged repeatedly, avoiding all the incoming high-temperature fireballs.

But in the blink of an eye, the flames that filled the sky suddenly vanished.

"Emperor Dan Gong!"

The pterosaur's body transformed into a blur, charging straight at a speed that Kitahara Tsune could not keep up with at all.

Even with Jack still gripping its giant claws, the power of this attack was in no way weaker than the one that had previously severed the warship.

boom!

A loud bang rang out, and Kitahara Tsuneo's body, which had been teetering on the air, was sent flying several times before he regained his balance and stood upright in mid-air.

Fortunately, he possessed a deep foundation in Armament Haki and did not suffer any substantial injuries.

He knew in his heart that he was currently no match for the extreme speed that Jin had achieved after extinguishing the flames.

The only option is to patiently search for weaknesses and seize the opportunity to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.
