Jack knew that it was time to unleash the Third Level of his techniques. As the Captain's metal fist came hurtling towards him, he braced himself and channeled his power into his fists.
The tension in the air was palpable as Captain Steelstrike and Viper Fist stared down Jack, their eyes filled with a mix of contempt and fury. Jack stood his ground, his eyes shifting between the two formidable opponents before him. His calm exterior betrayed no hint of the raging storm within him.
"Ready to face the end, Pirate Hunter?" Viper Fist taunted, his body contorting into a snake-like stance, ready to strike.
Jack's eyes narrowed, his deep blue gaze locked onto the Vice-Captain. "I've been ready for a long time."
Captain Steelstrike smirked, his hand raised as he manipulated the metal around him, forming a massive fist. "Let's see if your little tricks can save you this time."
With a sudden burst of movement, Viper Fist lunged forward, his arms whipping through the air like snakes, aiming for Jack's throat. At the same moment, Captain Steelstrike sent his metal fist hurtling towards Jack.
Dodging Viper Fist's attack with ease, Jack raised his arm to deflect the incoming metal fist. As it made contact, he felt a surge of energy from the Bead, empowering him as he unleashed an Iron Wall technique. The metal fist crumpled against the barrier of energy, leaving the Captain momentarily stunned.
Wasting no time, Jack pivoted and delivered a Thunderous Blow to Viper Fist, sending him staggering backward. The Vice-Captain quickly recovered, his eyes narrowing in surprise and anger. "How...?"
Jack smirked, his eyes blazing with determination. "You're not the only ones with tricks up your sleeves."
As the battle raged on, Jack found himself constantly dodging and countering the attacks from both the Captain and Vice-Captain, as well as the other pirates who took advantage of the chaos to launch their own assaults. His body moved with a fluid grace, his heightened senses allowing him to anticipate each incoming attack.
With a roar of frustration, Captain Steelstrike sent a flurry of metal projectiles hurtling towards Jack. Seeing the incoming danger, Jack unleashed a Hurricane Barrier, deflecting the projectiles and knocking back several nearby pirates.
Viper Fist took advantage of the distraction, closing the distance and launching a series of rapid, snake-like strikes. Jack parried each blow, countering with a Hurricane Cyclone that sent the Vice-Captain flying across the battlefield.
As Jack continued to battle against the Captain and Vice-Captain, he could feel the energy from the Bead surging through him, making him stronger and more formidable with each passing moment. He knew that he would have to dig even deeper into his arsenal of techniques if he was to emerge victorious.
Captain Steelstrike's eyes flashed with anger as he manipulated the metal around him to form a massive, crushing fist. "I've had enough of your games, Pirate Hunter. Prepare to meet your end!"
Jack locked eyes with the Captain, his calm demeanor giving way to a fierce determination. "I've been preparing for this moment my entire life."
With a roar, Captain Steelstrike sent his metal fist hurtling towards Jack. The Pirate Hunter braced himself, channelling the power of the Bead into his fists as he unleashed an Iron Crush technique. The two forces collided with a deafening crash, sending shockwaves rippling through the battlefield.
For a moment, it seemed as though the two opponents were evenly matched, their powers locked in a deadly struggle. But as the seconds ticked by, Jack could feel the energy from the Bead strengthening him, tipping the scales in his favor.
With a final surge of power, Jack shattered the metal fist, sending shards of metal flying through the air. Captain Steelstrike staggered backward, his face a mixture of shock and disbelief.
Taking advantage of the Captain's momentary vulnerability, Jack charged forward, his fists glowing with energy as he unleashed an Iron Dash. Captain Steelstrike barely had time to react before Jack's fists connected with his body, sending him flying across the battlefield.
Viper Fist, having recovered from the earlier attack, lunged at Jack once more, his snake-like movements faster and more unpredictable than before. But Jack was ready, his heightened senses allowing him to anticipate each strike.
Dodging a particularly vicious swipe, Jack countered with an Iron Leap, soaring into the air before crashing down on Viper Fist, creating a shockwave that knocked the Vice-Captain off balance.
Seizing the opportunity, Jack delivered a rapid-fire series of Iron Fists, striking Viper Fist with blinding speed and devastating force. The Vice-Captain crumpled to the ground, his body battered and broken.
Captain Steelstrike, his face twisted with rage, launched another assault, sending a torrent of metal shards hurtling towards Jack. The Pirate Hunter calmly unleashed a Hurricane Fury, creating a massive hurricane force wind around him that sent the metal shards flying back towards their creator.
As the Captain struggled to deflect the incoming projectiles, Jack closed the distance between them, his eyes locked onto his foe. "This ends now."
With a final surge of power, Jack unleashed an Iron Tempest, striking Captain Steelstrike with a barrage of devastating punches that shattered steel and sent the pirate leader flying in all directions.
As the dust settled, Jack stood victorious amidst the wreckage, his stormy deep blue eyes surveying the battlefield with a mixture of exhaustion and satisfaction. The remaining pirates stared at him in awe and fear, their morale shattered by the defeat of their leaders.
Jack sat on Captain Steelstrike's back, putting his feet on Viper Fist's head, and looked at the rest of the pirates. With a calm, cold voice, he simply said, "Drop and pretend dead until the Marines arrive. If not, I will come and kill you for real."
Fearful, the pirates glanced at each other, until finally one of them dropped to the ground stiff, as if he were dead. With him, all the others followed suit, collapsing to the ground and acting as though they were dead. Jack smirked and took out a Den Den Mushi to call his contact. As he dialed, he remembered Tsuru and sighed.
Meanwhile at another island in West Blue, in the Marine Office, Gion Momousagi was feeling depressed. She had been with her "sister" Tsuru for years, learning a lot from her, but a few weeks back, the headquarters had sent Tsuru to North Blue and Gion had to stay in West Blue to tie up loose ends. One of those loose ends was Menace's Hold, the Pirate Haven protected by a strange coalition of pirates.
As Gion sighed in depression, missing her big sister and unsure of what to do, her personal Den Den Mushi began to ring. Her face lit up, as not many people knew her personal number, but when she answered, the voice was unfamiliar.
"Bring two ships to Menace's Hold to collect the pirates," the voice ordered.
"Who the hell are you?" Gion demanded.
"Didn't Tsuru tell you?" the voice asked.
"Big sister?" Gion questioned in shock, then remembered, "Jack?"
"Yup. Oh, and bring 500 million Berries too." With that, he ended the call.
Gion blinked in surprise, then hurriedly gathered her forces and prepared two ships for departure. If Jack had managed to take down the Iron Serpent Pirates and their coalition, then they needed to move quickly to secure the area and apprehend the pirates.
As the Marine ships approached Menace's Hold, Gion couldn't help but feel a mix of admiration and curiosity towards Jack. He was a Pirate Hunter who had managed to single-handedly defeat the powerful pirate coalition that had eluded the Marines for so long. She wondered what kind of person he was and how he had managed to pull off such a feat.
When they arrived, Gion was greeted by the sight of hundreds of pirates lying on the ground, feigning death, and Jack casually sitting on top of the defeated Captain and Vice-Captain. She couldn't help but be impressed by his calm, stoic demeanor and the strength he exuded.
As the Marines began to round up the defeated pirates and secure the area, Gion approached Jack, her eyes filled with curiosity and respect. "You're Jack, right? The Pirate Hunter that Tsuru mentioned?"
Jack simply nodded, his stormy deep blue eyes meeting hers.
"I don't know how to thank you for what you've done," Gion said sincerely. "But I assure you, the Marines will make sure that these pirates face justice for their crimes."
Jack gave a small, enigmatic smile. "Just doing my job," he replied, his voice cold but not unkind. "Now, about that 500 million Berries..."
Gion couldn't help but laugh, her spirits lifted by the successful mission and the knowledge that she had made a powerful new ally in Jack. And as they loaded the captured pirates onto the Marine ships, she knew that, together, they would continue to fight for justice and bring an end to the reign of terror that had plagued the seas for far too long.
