One Piece: Reborn as Enel

Chapter 28: Jack the Draught



Chapter 28: Jack the Draught

_________ POV Narration_________

"Hahahaha! I can't believe that dog, Heavenly Yaksha is paying so much for a single fucking Rear Admiral!" Jack, one of the strongest pirates within Kaido's crew laughed his lungs out with his crew as their ship sailed the seas.

He was a man of large stature, towering over all of his crewmates even when sitting down and drinking from a barrel.

Jack was a giant grouper fish-man. Unlike most fishmen, his pale skin is identical to that of a human. He was immensely muscular, but his limbs are disproportionately small when compared to his enormous torso.

He was wearing a metallic jaw mask and had a pair of horns on each side of his head. His blond hair was worn in a ponytail and a pair of long braids.

The giant man had decided to go after Enel's head, and he and his crew had been after Enel for around two weeks by this point.

They had happened to be in the area and decided to look for him and claim the bounty that the Heavenly Yaksha, which is Doflamingo's nickname in the underworld, had placed on his head.

Doflamingo had contacted them directly when realizing that they were in the area for some business related to the smile fruits.

Jack instantly accepted the contract when hearing that they only had to deal with a rookie Rear Admiral. The giant man didn't seem to care about him being some rising star of the marines.

He also didn't take Doflamingo's warnings very seriously. Why would he take a measly warlord seriously after all?

In truth, Doflamingo himself wasn't that much weaker than Jack, the two of them excelled in different things. Some would even say that Doffy was stronger in many aspects.

Jack could tank a lot of damage and his armament haki was stronger. But Doflamigo also had decent mastery over haki, as well as Conquers Haki, his devil fruit was a lot more versatile, and he had a lot more mobility.

If Jack was a bit more intelligent, then he may have been more informed on such things, but to him just seeing Doflamingo's low bounty and Warlord status sealed the deal.

He had always been a stubborn individual, his pride was also large enough to not allow him to register a Rear Admiral as a threat.

Without much warning, a storm started kicking up. Jack wasn't really worried though, his ship was extremely sturdy, and could survive any storm.

In the distance, he could see a group of newbie pirates being destroyed by the harsh weather of the New World. He laughed out loud at that, finding joy in their suffering.

Although that strange beam of lightning did somewhat unnerve him, he didn't pay it much attention. The wheater of the New World was extremely hostile most of the time, it didn't shock him that such a thing would be possible.

Due to his lacking knowledge, he also believed that he wouldn't be in any danger regardless. As he had absolute trust in his defences and didn't think a stray bolt of lightning would defeat him.

"Captain! We can see it! The Golden ship of that Rear Admiral!" One of Jack's crewmates spoke up with excitement in his voice.

At this point, it was well-known in the underworld that Enel piloted some type of odd golden ship with the use of his devil fruit.

This was because he had used it repeatedly when hunting pirates.

Jack looked in the distance with a bored gaze, as Enel finished off the unfortunate pirates that had been stranded on the sea.

Jack's excitement grew, as he realized that Enel likely carried the bounties he had collected with him, which meant that he was carrying around quite the treasure.

"Perfect! All of you, follow his ship! He's done for!" Jack spoke out to his entire crew, unaware of the fact that Enel could hear every single thing that was being said on his ship.

Enel looked at the Mammoth as it approached, he pondered on what to do.

On one hand, he wasn't exactly afraid of fighting Jack, he was relatively sure that he'd win. But on the other, winning would also mean possibly instigating a war with the Beast Pirates.

Enel needed the 'War of the Best' to start for his plan to work, so capturing Jack at this moment would only be counterintuitive.

Starting a conflict with the Beast Pirates right before the war with Whitebeard Pirates would either postpone the war or stop it altogether.

So, Enel could under no circumstance capture Jack or collect his bounty... But how would anything be traced to him if Jack simply vanished?

Enel smiled at that thought. Even if Jack was known to be looking for him right now, no one in the Beast Pirates would believe that a Rear Admiral was strong enough to take him down.

It would take a while for them to investigate Jack's whereabouts, so Enel would have plenty of time for his plans to work.

Therefore, Enel made up his mind... To have his first serious fight with a person that was at the top of the world in terms of strength. Well, at least in the top 30.

Enel didn't move, as he watched Jack's ship approaching him with a smile on his lips.

The ship eventually stopped before getting too close to the whirlpool that Enel had created. So Enel himself decided to go greet Jack.

In an instant, he appeared in the Mammoth's figurehead, looking at the crew with a calm smile.

"Hello there! Strange to see the Beast pirates around these parts, kind of far from Wano Country, aren't we?" Enel stepped on the deck of the ship with confidence, shocking most of the pirates present.

No one had expected Enel to have this much courage, they expected to have to chase him down and corner him somewhere, but they weren't exactly displeased.

"Hahaha! The marine is coming to us by himself! Suicidal bastard!" One of the pirates said with a sadistic smile on his face.

"Let's not judge him, boys! He's already prepared himself to die, might as well give him what he wants!" Jack said, not even bothering to sit up, he continued drinking sake from his barrel without any concern.

He didn't bother thinking about how Enel had reached them so quickly. And very few on the ship were worried about that.

Jack wasn't a friendly individual, he was a ruthless person even to the ones he called 'allies'. But the crewmates could at least trust his strength and that he could deal with most situations easily.

Therefore, everyone on the ship laughed mockingly, as they looked at Enel like predators looked at their prey.

Enel laughed along a bit, the calm smile on his face not changing even once. He then clapped his hands once.

The clouds stirred in frustration, and the world roared with anger. A storm the likes of which the Beast Pirates had never seen soon descended on them.

A lightning bolt struck each pirate on the ship, right on their head. Many were killed instantly, only the ones that were more careful and managed to use Armament Haki in time survived, but they were unconscious and left with severe burns

Jack instantly got up when seeing that, his gaze turned serious as the bodies of his crewmates hit the ground.

It had only taken an instant for all of his crewmates to fall down defeated.

They were all weaklings by Jack's standards, but people in the first half of the New World shouldn't have been able to defeat them so easily...

He didn't care about them, not by any scope of the imagination.

But he now realized that the Rear admiral in front of him would prove to be a bit more troublesome than he initially had expected...
