One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 48 Showdown

Iron Block & Empty Wood is practically a counter-armor.

In the original story, if Luffy didn't have a rubber body, his hands would be ruined by that anti-armor.

"collapse..."

The next second, Jinbe's fist slammed into his chest.

"Naval Type 6 - Iron Body?"

For a fleeting moment, Jinbe had a guess in his mind. Because Enni neither dodged nor evaded, nor did he retaliate. He was like a wooden puppet!

This situation can only occur when using the iron block from the Navy's Sixth Style.

But the next instant, he felt the fist that had slammed into Aini, and experienced an extremely terrifying recoil force.

The shock made his fists loosen slightly, and he even felt a sharp pain as if his bones were cracking.

"What kind of move is that?"

Even Jinbe, with his vast experience, couldn't immediately see through Enni's technique.

"Iron Block - Shatter!"

Enni instantly entered a state of being completely indestructible, and then unleashed a full-force attack on Jinbe.

Jinbe dared not be careless.

He crossed his arms in front of him to block the punch. The powerful impact sent Jinbe flying seven or eight meters before he regained his footing.

At the same time, Jinbe's feet dragged two deep marks on the ground.

At this moment, Jinbe's gaze towards Enni changed. If before it was only because Enni had fish-man blood, then...

Now, he acknowledges Aini's strength.

Jinbe twisted his neck a few times, making a cracking sound. Then he laughed, "Watch out, I'm getting serious... Fishman Karate: Seven Thousand Tile Roundhouse Kick!"

He kicked at Aini with a spinning kick powerful enough to shatter seven thousand tiles.

It is extremely fast and incredibly powerful.

Even Aini's expression became somewhat serious.

"Iron block, steel..."

He knew that Jinbe had no intention of killing him, so he wanted to use him to test the power and defensive capabilities of these Iron Body techniques.

To avoid the occurrence of "illusion" phenomena.

This move, which strengthens the defense of the iron block to withstand the opponent's attack, is known as the "Iron Block" with the strongest defense.

Of course, being called the strongest doesn't mean it's unbreakable. As long as an attack far exceeds its tolerance range, it can certainly be broken.

However, this approach varies from person to person.

The stronger it is, the stronger its defense. Among its peers, its defense is absolutely impenetrable. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called the strongest iron block!

"collapse..."

The immense force sent Aini flying. However, Aini somersaulted in the air before landing steadily back on the ground.

"Gunwave!"

At this moment, Jinbe pressed his advantage and launched a water wave from a distance.

In Jinbe's hands, this move is as powerful as a cannonball, absolutely formidable.

"Paper drawing!"

Enni's body seemed to have undergone a transformation, becoming as thin as paper. Most importantly, he dodged Jinbe's gunshot at the perfect moment.

Using Observation Haki combined with paper drawing makes it the perfect choice for evasion!

"Cough cough..."

Then Aini coughed a few times.

He felt a sharp pain in his chest; the punch had been quite forceful. However, it hadn't actually injured him. He just felt pain...

He has now roughly made a judgment.

This move of his can defend against attacks from any vice admiral-level opponent. However, it's somewhat ineffective against the Seven Warlords of the Sea. But he can use this move after transforming into his beast form.

Add in Armament Haki.

Therefore, it can also block the attacks of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Jinbe raised an eyebrow, because Enni used Iron Body to defend against both of his attacks. And the difference between the two attacks was quite significant.

The first move not only blocked his attack but also injured him.

Of course, the biggest reason is that they didn't use their full strength at all before; it was just a probing attack!

The second move...

Aini didn't give him a chance to think and launched a counterattack immediately.

"shave!"

With a low shout, Aini's figure vanished from the spot in an instant, like a ghost.

Upon seeing this, Jinbe's heart tightened, and his eyes, as big as copper bells, involuntarily narrowed into slits. A strong sense of crisis surged into his heart, causing his internal alarm bells to ring wildly... At the same time, his Observation Haki was pushed to its limit.

Just then, Jinbe suddenly sensed something amiss. He turned his head slightly to the left and his gaze swept swiftly in that direction.

Sure enough, Aini's figure had already appeared there!

Jinbe's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, revealing a confident smile: "Gunwave - Rain!"

As his words fell, dozens of thick jets of water shot out like arrows, hurtling straight toward Aini. These water jets contained immense power and impact, far surpassing the force of ordinary attacks. Had it been someone slightly weaker, they would likely have been riddled with holes in an instant, becoming a veritable hornet's nest.

However, Aini showed no sign of panic when faced with the oncoming water jets.

He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with his right hand, and with a slight flick of his wrist, the Sandai Kitetsu, which had been lying quietly in its sheath, was instantly drawn out, its gleaming blade drawing a chilling arc in the air.

Immediately afterward, Aini uttered softly, "One-Sword Style - Ice Tiger!"

In an instant, an extremely cold aura erupted from his body, quickly gathering on the sword. Then, a special tiger-shaped slash, perfectly fused with sword intent and cold air, was unleashed, charging towards the oncoming water columns with the force of a tiger descending a mountain.

Wherever it passed, a thin layer of frost seemed to condense in the air, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply.

Upon contact with the tiger-shaped slash, the water columns seemed to be frozen in place, instantly halting their advance.

Immediately afterwards, a series of crisp "crackling" sounds rang out, and the water columns were frozen into hard ice blocks. However, this was not the end. The next moment, the ice blocks could not withstand the enormous impact and suddenly shattered, turning into countless tiny ice crystal fragments that flew everywhere, like a magnificent ice flower feast.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Jinbe narrowed his eyes slightly. Then he snorted coldly, lowered his knees, and unleashed a final straight punch.

The direction of the Ice Tiger Slash was forcibly changed.

Then, looking at Aini, he said, "Come on, let me see what level your strength has reached."

After he finished speaking, Jinbe's eyes flickered.

Aini caught it instantly.

Suddenly he understood. Perhaps Jinbe was someone sent to test his strength. But what kind of person was he?

He has the strength and power, yet he sends a Shichibukai to personally test his strength?

Warring States Period?

Or perhaps the Five Elders?

For a moment, Aini was somewhat uncertain. However, regardless.

He should indeed demonstrate some strength; only in this way can he gain greater power and a higher status.
