One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

Chapter 99 Jack: Brother Jin, put me down! (Please subscribe)

Kitahara Tsuneo was well aware of the weaknesses of the Lunaria clan.

When the opponent's flames are ignited, their physical defense is so strong that it makes people hesitate to approach. When the flames are extinguished, their flight speed will increase dramatically, but their defensive power will decrease significantly.

The Lunaria race is said to be able to survive in any extreme environment, which is why they are called a race of gods.

There is a way to defeat Jhin. Just take advantage of the moment when his flames are extinguished and his defense is at its weakest, and unleash a super high attack.

Kitahara Tsune was extremely confident in his swordsmanship, not to mention that his swordsmanship had already reached its peak, and his slashing power was further enhanced by the attribute bonus.

The only concern is that the long sword at his waist, the Demon Slayer, might not be able to withstand the continuous high-intensity slashing bursts and the excessive influx of Armament Haki.

While Jhin's basic attacks can knock me back, they don't cause any real damage. I just need to patiently look for an opening.

With that thought in mind, Kitahara Tsune no longer hesitated. He covered his long sword with Armament Haki and slashed at the Pteranodon that had reignited its flames.

Perhaps out of consideration for his past as a colleague of Jack, or simply because he didn't want the Beasts Pirates to lose more combat power, King did not choose to withstand Kitahara Tsune's close-range slashes with his bare body, but instead kept dodging to the side.

Only when Kitahara Tsune's longsword is about to strike Jack under his claws will King spread his huge wings to block the attack.

This scene left Jack, who was hanging on the giant claw, feeling frustrated and even more annoyed.

As one of the Three Calamities, he is now being protected by others.

But his hands were bound by sea stone handcuffs, so he couldn't help at all.

He could not tolerate becoming a burden, especially in front of his esteemed brother, Jin.

Jack used the last of his strength to struggle and try to break free from the pterosaur's claws.

Perhaps Jack was strong to begin with, or perhaps he had vaguely seen through his thoughts, but Jack actually broke free and fell straight into the sea.

With a splash, a huge wave rose from the sea, which was instantly evaporated by the heat wave from the fireball that Jin casually shot out.

The moment Jhin threw Jack into the sea, his flames didn't extinguish, but his speed suddenly increased, instantly widening the distance between him and Kitahara Tsune, who was engaged in close combat.

At the same time, flames around him condensed into fireballs, which he then launched one after another at Kitahara Tsuneo.

This time, Kitahara Tsune did not dodge. Relying solely on his powerful physical body and Armament Haki, he withstood all the fireball attacks.

He then accelerated with his feet and caught up with Jhin, who was flying.

On the sea, a group of Marines from the main force either clung to the backs of the sea monsters or followed beside them, heading towards Punk Hazard together.

Fortunately, this sea area is not far from Punk Hazard, and the main navy often conducts rigorous training with Kitahara Tsune, so they have a solid physical foundation and there is no need to worry about running out of energy and drowning halfway through the swim.

The soldiers of the G5 branch were in a much worse state, with most of them weakly clinging to the backs of the sea monsters.

Every now and then, everyone looked up at the two figures locked in fierce combat high in the sky.

"As expected of Major General Kitahara Tsune, he's actually fighting King, one of the Three Disasters, to a standstill!"

"Rear Admiral Kitahara Tsuneo is a rising star in our navy!"

"When will I be able to possess that kind of power?"

"Don't get distracted, hurry to the shore, and don't cause trouble for Major General Kitahara Tsuneo."

At first, no one could recognize which pirate the jet-black Pteranodon was.

However, Dori still had the camera Den Den Mushi with him. After Kitahara Tsune surfaced, he specifically handed the Den Den Mushi to Dori so that he could continue recording the whole process.

From Jhin's surprise attack to the aerial battle and Jack's fall into the sea, the entire process was filmed accurately.

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, the researchers at Punk Hazard were already in the New World and had heard of the Beasts Pirates to some extent.

At a glance, he recognized the giant beast as King, one of the Three Disasters of the Beasts Pirates.

He immediately informed the marines around him that he had eaten the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Ancient Zoan type, Pteranodon form, making him a top-tier Zoan-type Devil Fruit user and one of the Beasts Pirates' top combatants.

Dori had always known that Kitahara Tsune was extremely strong, even Doflamingo had been defeated by him.

However, he was with Corazon and the others at the time and was unable to witness the battle firsthand.

He never had a clear idea of ​​Kitahara Tsune's true strength.

It wasn't until he witnessed Kitahara Tsune's ability to fight on equal terms with a powerhouse like Jin that he was truly shocked.

Kitahara Tsuneo never showed off his abilities, but simply persisted in his arduous training day after day. He was not a Devil Fruit user, and relied solely on his physical strength and Haki to fight against top-tier pirates.

Dori was filled with longing and hoped that she could have such strength so as to share the burden with Kitahara Tsune.

"If only I had a Devil Fruit, maybe I could catch up with my superior."

"Be careful!"

A shout from the navy officer beside him jolted Dori back to his senses, narrowly avoiding a fireball that had been deflected by the aftershocks of Kitahara Tsune's battle.

High in the sky, the two continued their fierce battle.

When flames erupted around Jin, Kitahara Tsune's ordinary slashes could barely break through his defenses;

However, once Jin extinguishes the flames, his extreme speed makes it difficult for him to keep up with the opponent's movements.

Jin was also constrained, while Kitahara Tsune's Armament Haki was honed to perfection, and his physical strength was terrifying. The attacks of Dan Gong Huang and various pterosaur forms were unable to cause effective damage to Kitahara Tsune.

At this moment, Jin's form changed, transforming into a half-human, half-beast shape.

"The Twin Emperors of Blades!"

The flames around Jin suddenly went out, and his wings whipped out two high-speed, bullet-like flame projectiles.

This move is hotter, faster, and more impactful than the previous Flame Emperor move, but at the cost of briefly extinguishing the flames and reducing one's own defense.

However, Jin was certain that this attack would be enough to break through Kitahara Tsune's Armament Haki defense.

Kitahara Tsune was waiting for this very moment.

He poured all his life energy into his feet, and his Moonwalk speed instantly increased, allowing him to briefly catch up with Jin Wuyan during a moment when Jin Wuyan accelerated.

At the same time, Armament Haki swirled around the Demon-Slaying Hand, and a powerful burst of Flowing Sakura erupted instantly.

A sharp slash landed squarely on Jin's face.

With a snap, the mask on Jin's face broke, and a long bloodstain ran from his cheek down to his chest.

The shattered mask slowly drifted down, revealing long, snow-white hair and a handsome face with a brownish complexion.

Upon seeing the face clearly, Kitahara Tsune's lips curled into a knowing smile: "You really are a descendant of the Lunaria clan."

Jin didn't reply, but simply flapped his wings and retreated, putting some distance between himself and Kitahara Tsune.

His opponent not only broke through his defenses but also severed his mask.

Fortunately, the injuries were not serious.

He could sense that, for some reason, the flowing cherry blossoms swirling around Kitahara's sword weren't particularly thick and didn't inflict a fatal blow on him.
