In the Chat Group of the Dead.
Witnessing Jin's debate with Rayleigh firsthand, the deceased group members were also engaged in a lively discussion.
[Newgate: This kid makes a good point. I'm momentarily speechless.]
Like the Roger Pirates, Newgate's own Whitebeard Pirates also practiced robbing the robbers.
They stole from pirates, not civilians.
This at least made their consciences feel a bit better.
But it wasn't something to boast about.
Because this money ultimately still belonged to the common people.
And they didn't return it after stealing it.
[Ace: Jin, you bastard! Didn't we agree you'd only go after Nami and Robin? How come you're stealing Luffy's ship right off the bat?]
[Gin: @Ace, Wait, that's not right? I remember your agreement was that he couldn't kill Straw Hat Luffy. It didn't say he couldn't steal the ship.]
[Izuna: This world is really great. Whoever has power takes the initiative. I like it.]
[Tobirama: @Izuna, Even if we only compare power, your Uchiha Clan is no match for our Senju Clan. Have you forgotten not only did you die by my hand, but your elder brother also never beat mine?]
[Izuna: @Tobirama, A mediocre teacher who produced four cowardly disciples shouldn't spout nonsense here.]
[Tobirama: What did you say!?]
In the real world, Jin calls Rayleigh a 'mediocre teacher'.
In the chat group, Izuna calls Tobirama a 'mediocre teacher'.
Perfect symmetry.
…
In the real world.
After a brief silence, Rayleigh slowly drew his sword.
"No choice then. I'll have to use force to make you give up."
In this debate, Rayleigh wasn't the one in the right to begin with.
Plus, he wasn't well-read and wasn't very eloquent.
Even though Jin was just a slacker from a third-rate university in his previous life, he was still eloquent and leave Rayleigh speechless with his rhetoric.
"Can't win the argument, so you resort to violence? But that's more in line with a pirate's style."
Jin smiled indifferently, suddenly raising his palm towards the Thousand Sunny behind him.
"Heh!"
With a low shout, an invisible pressure shot from his palm.
It instantly pushed the Thousand Sunny a mile away.
This was the ship he planned to use to sail this world, so he couldn't let it be destroyed before even setting sail.
"What kind of move is that?"
Even the experienced Rayleigh was stunned for a moment upon seeing this.
After all, the concept of [Ki] didn't exist in the One Piece World.
However, Jin had no interest in explaining it to Rayleigh.
The moment he turned around, his ordinary black eyes had transformed into red pupils with three tomoes.
"Alright~ Let's begin."
The moment their eyes met again, a thought instantly surged into Rayleigh's mind-
'This kid is dangerous!'
Without any further hesitation, Rayleigh shot forward like an arrow leaving the bow.
The sword in his hand slashed diagonally.
Whoosh!!
Flames ignited on Jin's right hand, and he countered with a backhand strike using the back of his fist.
The flying slash merged with flames, converging into a hurricane-like fire shockwave that swept outwards.
It set half of the Yarukiman Mangrove trees in Grove 44 on fire!
"Fire? Is it the Mera Mera no Mi? Did you eat it after Ace died and the Devil Fruit regenerated!?"
Rayleigh's expression changed drastically.
If it was the power of the Mera Mera no Mi, this ability alone could secure a place in the Grand Line.
"Don't compare me to Ace, who relied too heavily on his Devil Fruit's Ability."
Ace, who heard this, felt insulted.
But before he could complain, Jin performed a mid-air bicycle kick, and his burning leg, reminiscent of Sanji's Diable Jambe, came down in an overhead kick aimed at Rayleigh's head!
Although Jin, compared to his senior brother Goku, seemed like the difference between a mage and a warrior, he had never neglected physical training to prepare his body for the Saiyan Physique.
However, Rayleigh's decades of combat experience weren't for nothing.
When Jin's fiery kick was less than five centimeters from his head, he suddenly released his sword, crossed his arms into an [X], and raised them.
Coating them with a dark energy, he blocked the flying kick.
[Ace: Ooh! It's here, Armament Haki!]
But just as Ace exclaimed, Jin, still in the mid-air bicycle kick position, slightly retracted his right hand.
Then, he thrust it forward at extreme speed.
A shocking scene occurred.
Even though Jin's fist was nearly ten centimeters away from Rayleigh, it left a fist imprint on the other party's abdomen, sending him flying over ten meters away.
[Ace: Th-this is the Conqueror's Haki infusion Dad mentioned before?]
Newgate had once told him that when Conqueror's Haki was mastered to perfection, it could be infused into attacks to hit the opponent without physical contact.
[Yamamoto: No! This is the move used by that short guy named Son Goku before!]
During the previous battle at the Lookout in the Dragon Ball world, Goku used this move, a short-range punch, to hit Jin inside the Susanoo from a distance.
And now, Jin had actually learned it.
[Hashirama: The copying ability of the Sharingan? Was he copying all along during the fight with that boy named Son Goku?]
"Roar-!"
A silver-white Chakra demon god materialized out of thin air. Its right hand rapidly condensed a large sword, coated with black inextinguishable flames.
It then threw the sword like a javelin aimed at Rayleigh.
Boom! Whoosh-!!!
Along with the explosion, black flames scattered by the aftermath fell like a torrential rain, covering every corner of Grove 44.
