One Piece: I'm Destined to Be the Son-in-Law King!-Chapter 186: Nine Hundred Million Worth of Ivory!
Chapter 186 - Nine Hundred Million Worth of Ivory!
Inside the fortress walls, the sound of fighting was deafening.
"Charge! Don't let up!" soldiers yelled.
"Just an executive with a measly billion-berry reward dares to cause trouble in a Marine base!" one shouted.
"Rip those tusks off! They'll look great in my trophy collection!" another bellowed.
Roya roared, leading the charge!
Smoker, Hina, and Peacock followed closely, surrounding and attacking Jack from all sides.
The other squad leaders directed the Marines to push back Jack's crew. Overwhelmed by sheer numbers, the pirates retreated towards the gate, digging in for a desperate defense.
Only Jack remained in the training yard, a massive, unyielding presence.
He was like an immovable fortress, holding his ground against the Marine onslaught. With a cold stare, he swung his curved swords, ready for a long, grueling fight.
But after less than an hour, the squad leaders were already feeling the strain.
"This guy's defense is insane!" one panted.
"Ugh! Hina's Black Cage can barely hold him!" Hina complained.
"Damn it! My Whip can't even scratch his skin!" Peacock exclaimed in frustration.
Smoker's powerful punches, Hina's constricting Black Cage, and Peacock's stinging whip strikes seemed like mere tickles to Jack.

His hide was incredibly tough.
The three of them, catching their breath, stared at Jack as if he were a monster. They had never faced an enemy with such impenetrable defense.
Since the fight began, Jack hadn't fallen once, save for Roya's initial attack that made him cough up blood and stumble.
"Zzzzt!"
Rain Cutter, Roya's sword, clashed against one of Jack's curved swords, sending sparks flying.
Roya pressed down on the sword and tried to kick Jack in the face, but the huge trunk of the mammoth swung around to block him!
"Bang!"
After a brief clash, Roya jumped back to create some distance.
"This is proving to be a real pain," he muttered.
Roya frowned. He was the only one capable of breaking through Jack's defenses, but Jack was smart and focused on defending against Roya's attacks.
If this keeps up, we can wear him down eventually, but it could take days.
They needed something to restrain him!
Hina's Black Cage was useful, but it wasn't strong enough to contain a giant like Jack. He was simply too powerful and could break free too easily.
And as for the others...
Roya glanced at Smoker and Peacock, who were essentially giving Jack a mild skin treatment.
"Barto, get over here!" Roya called.
Roya explained his plan to Barto.
"Can you do it?" he asked.
"Hehehe, in theory, yes. I'll give it a shot!" Barto replied with a sly grin, hooking his middle finger over his index finger, ready to activate his Barrier ability.
Just as Jack's trunk sent Smoker and the others flying, Barto made his move.
"Fluid Barrier: Spherical Barrier!"
A bowl-shaped barrier encased Jack.
"What is this?" Jack questioned, looking around. He had never seen a barrier before. Without hesitation, he swung his curved sword at it. With a loud clang, the sword bounced harmlessly off.
"Hehehe, the Barrier's defense is impenetrable!" Barto laughed triumphantly, and with a thought, the spherical barrier began to shrink!
"Bang!"
Jack braced himself, his palms pressing against the barrier. Veins bulged in his arms as he used his immense strength to stop the barrier from closing in.
Barto's face flushed red, and veins popped out on his forehead. His fingers trembled, threatening to separate.
When a Barrier is fixed, even immense power can't shake it. But controlling it, especially when expanding or contracting, requires the user to concentrate and leaves room for resistance.
"Don't underestimate me!" Barto roared. Aside from the portion being held back by Jack, the rest of the barrier continued to move closer to Jack's body.
"Fluid Barrier: Humanoid Barrier!"
If he could bind Jack tightly, even his incredible strength would be useless!
Jack sensed the danger.
"Aang!"
With a mammoth's roar, Jack's body began to swell, pushing against the barrier. In an instant, he transformed into a giant mammoth.
The softened fluid barrier clung to the mammoth's body like armor, covering most of his torso but leaving his hooves free.
The barrier couldn't completely contain the mammoth, but it effectively restricted his movement!
"Got him!" Barto gasped, his crossed fingers shaking.
Jack's transformation had almost caused him to lose control. Luckily, he had softened the barrier, like blowing up a balloon, using Jack's transformation to expand it.
"Great job, Barto!" Roya praised, flashing to Jack's side, a grin spreading across his face as he stared at the immobilized mammoth.
The barrier prevented him from hurting Jack directly, but there were still things he could do.
The incredibly long ivory tusks weren't restrained by the barrier.
"Someone, get me a saw!" Roya ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
Roya grabbed the saw Smoker handed him, coating it with Haki, and began sawing into the white ivory.
"Zzzzt~ zzzt!"
White shavings fell to the ground.
Blood vessels in Jack's eyes throbbed, and rage clouded his mind.
That Black Hair! He's sawing off my prized tusks!
"Unforgivable!"
Jack furiously shook his body, trying to break free of the barrier, but it was useless. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge the barrier.
This is bad!
"Zzzzt zzzt!"
The sound of the saw grated on every nerve in Jack's body.
"Stop it, Black Hair!" he roared.
"Stop? I'm just claiming these tusks for myself!" Roya chuckled, sawing even faster.
"Black Hair!!!" Jack screamed.
He frantically moved his limbs, crashing towards the fortress wall in front of him. Roya, standing above him, shook along with him.
"Hold him down!"
"Yes, sir!"
The Marines responded with a shout, and a pile of chains were brought out and thrown onto Jack.
"White Smoke!"
"Clasping Feather Cage!"
"Binding Thorns!"
Dozens of layers of restraints secured Jack in the training yard. The Marines pulled on the chains like a tug-of-war.
Even with his terrifying strength, Jack could only watch helplessly as his ivory tusks were sawed off!
The saw blade had already cut deep.
If I don't do something soon...
"Demon King Gun!"
Without giving Jack time to react, Roya's fist slammed into the tusk at the cut line. With a loud crack, the ivory snapped off and fell to the ground.
Jack stared at the severed tusk, his eyes wide with shock.
"Black Hair!!!"
A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the fortress!
The Marines raised the tusk and cheered.
"Hahahaha, we won!"
"Drought Jack dared to cause trouble at G-5!"
"Long live Roya Boss!"
For the Marines of G-5, killing pirates was the bare minimum. Torturing them, making them wish they were dead, was their favorite pastime.
And Roya was far better at it than they were.
Seeing Drought Jack's enraged state, the Marines felt as refreshed as if they had eaten ice cream on a hot summer day.
Regardless of what happened, they had won!
He truly is the Base Chief of G-5!
Meanwhile, at the back gate of G-5...
Who's Who and the others were startled by Jack's scream.
"That doesn't sound good!" one of them said.
"I've never heard Jack sound so desperate!" another added.
"What's happening in there?"
The four of them were scared. Even though they looked down on Jack, they knew he was tough.
For him to scream like that, it wasn't just physical pain, but something that truly broke him!
"Black Hair!"
They exchanged nervous glances.
Should we just leave and see how things play out?
Yamato had refused to leave with them. They considered forcing Yamato to come along, but after seeing the injuries they had sustained, they abandoned the idea. Young Master Yamato is stronger than we thought. We can't forcibly take him.
Time to run! Things are getting too dangerous! Kaido's family problems are best left for him to deal with!
