The awakened Zoans didn't even have time to fight back before they were pierced through, their life force snuffed out, eyes dimming as they died on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, Jack the Drought's Beast Army was annihilated—no survivors.
"How pitifully weak."
Lance cast them a faint glance and waved his hand. Six IBM monsters charged forward again, devouring the corpses of the fallen awakened users without mercy.
If it were Doflamingo attacking, he couldn't have slaughtered so many awakened Zoans in one strike.
But Lance was different.
He had absorbed the powers of numerous strong Devil Fruit users, perfectly fused with Doflamingo's String-String Fruit abilities, and surpassed Doflamingo's mastery of the fruit even at his peak. Combined with the Armament Haki he had taken from others—including many Beast Pirates—his Haki far exceeded Doflamingo's.
Against this group of awakened Zoans? There was no challenge at all.
"He killed them all in an instant?!"
Cracker stared in disbelief. Just moments ago, even his own Biscuit Army couldn't gain much advantage against those awakened Zoans. But Lance had wiped them out in the span of a breath—every single one, including the toughest awakened ones, without giving them even a chance to resist.
"Damn it! What did you do to my men?!"
Only now did Jack notice. Just as before, Lance had resisted his all-out attack… and in that same instant, slaughtered every single member of his elite unit.
Cold sweat ran down Jack's forehead.
Kaido's greatest fury was reserved for the loss of his elite ability-user troops. Ever since Doflamingo's downfall, every lost Devil Fruit user meant one less piece in forming a powerful army. And now, it wasn't just one—it was all of them, even the rare awakened ones, completely wiped out.
If Kaido learned of this, Jack's fate would be beyond miserable.
"Isn't it obvious? I killed them all."
Lance's tone was casual.
"You dare… you dare…" Jack's rage boiled over.
"I won't forgive this! I'll hack off your arms and legs, gouge out your eyes, cut out your tongue… I'll rip every organ from your body!"
"I'll hang your head from the Beast Pirates' flag so the whole world can see your miserable corpse!"
Jack's fury erupted like a volcano, his eyes glowing red.
An overwhelming aura burst from him, collapsing nearby buildings as a wave of killing intent swept the area. Jack had entered his berserk state—a state he only reached in the most intense battles. This time, the slaughter of his entire unit had triggered it instantly. His form shifted into that of a massive mammoth, fur bristling like needles, red light blazing in his eyes.
Jack charged, slamming his massive foot toward the ground.
The moment the foot struck, the entire island trembled. The ground split open, a massive rift tearing across the earth straight toward Lance.
"This guy's insane—using such a stamina-draining move right off the bat!"
Cracker smirked to himself. "Fine. Even if Jack kills him, he'll be exhausted, and then I can finish him and take Caesar."
"Jack, such a clumsy attack… are you tired of living?"
Lance leapt into the air, stepping onto nothing. His fingers curled in a chaotic motion.
From the ground, twenty massive waves of threads hardened with dense Armament Haki surged upward at terrifying speed toward Jack.
[Twenty Divine Killing Bullets – God Execution]
With his current stamina, twenty Divine Killing Bullets was the maximum he could unleash at once.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The twenty massive thread lances struck Jack like missiles from the heavens, each one detonating with immense force. Explosions shook the island, sending dust and debris into the sky, shrouding Jack's colossal mammoth form.
Rebecca and the other two women watched anxiously from afar. They had seen Lance wipe out the Beast Pirates' ability users in one move and had gasped in shock. Now, with Jack in a frenzy, their hearts were pounding in their throats.
"To fight a commander just below an Emperor… he's amazing. Truly the man I've set my eyes on!" Baby 5 gushed, hearts in her eyes.
"I knew he wouldn't die so easily," Cracker sneered.
A gust blew away the dust, revealing Jack's gigantic mammoth form, his body blackened with full Haki hardening. He appeared largely intact, but the bleeding wounds across his body told the truth—Lance's twenty Divine Killing Bullets had dealt real damage, penetrating even Jack's monstrous physique and Haki defenses.
"To make me feel pain I haven't felt in years… I want to kill you even more now," Jack growled, his glowing red eyes locked on Lance.
"Is that so?" Lance smirked.
"Then try—if you can."
