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

Chapter 309 The Final Showdown

He was now absolutely certain that if this attack hit him, his defenses would be completely torn apart, just like last time.

However, Joz, who cannot fly, is limited in many ways in mid-air.

He was originally a melee fighter, and this limitation in the air was undoubtedly a double blow to him. Faced with such a predicament, he seemed to have no other options but to use his fists to withstand Aini's attacks or to adopt a defensive stance.

At this critical moment, Qiao Zi suddenly crossed his arms in front of his chest, assuming a defensive stance ready for battle.

At the same time, Aini took several steps in the air, his speed instantly soaring like a rocket. He was like a blaster fighter jet, speeding towards Joz in an almost instantaneous manner.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, Aini's dragon claw slammed into Joz's arms like a meteorite. The power of the attack was astonishing, as if the entire world trembled at it.

Joz's arms cracked and popped under the impact of the dragon's claws, as if they were about to break at any moment. However, Joz did not back down. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to withstand this terrifying blow.

But Aini's strength was simply too great; his dragon claws were like the sharpest weapon in the world, easily piercing through Joz's arm.

"Hiss!" Joz gasped, the excruciating pain in his arm almost unbearable.

However, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

However, Aini's attack did not end there. He stomped down again in mid-air, unleashing a terrifying impact like a cannonball, and charged straight at Joz.

The powerful impact was like a gust of wind, sending Joz flying backward. His pierced arm, under the force of the impact, developed more and more cracks, becoming denser and deeper, until it finally shattered completely.

"Ah!" Jozi let out a shrill scream.

Because his left forearm was the one blocking the attack, the blow effectively crippled half of his left arm. The immense pain caused his body to tremble uncontrollably, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

However, Aini's offensive was like a storm, showing no signs of stopping.

The instant Joz was knocked away, Aini appeared as if by divine intervention, taking several steps in mid-air. Each step felt like stepping on a spring, instantly increasing his speed to an astonishing level. In the blink of an eye, he shot towards Joz like a cannonball with lightning speed.

At this point, Joz's situation was extremely critical.

One of his arms had already lost its fighting ability, and faced with Aini's swift attack, he had little choice.

He could choose to defend, but given his current condition, he would likely find it difficult to withstand Aini's attacks; or he could choose to engage in a direct confrontation, although doing so might hasten his death, at least he could inflict some damage on Aini before he dies.

At this critical moment, Qiao Zi made a tough decision—to engage in a direct confrontation!

Since death is inevitable anyway, might as well fight with all your might and die a glorious death.

So, he used all his strength to swing his remaining arm, his fist like a ferocious dragon, carrying unparalleled momentum, and slammed straight at Aini.

This punch was absolutely 120% of Joz's power. In this desperate situation, he had pushed his potential to the limit; this was the strongest attack he could muster.

"collapse!"

A deafening roar was heard, as if the whole world trembled.

The next instant, Joz's fist collided violently with Ani's claws.

In that instant, time seemed to stand still, with only the terrifying power colliding and intertwining between the fist and the claw, forming a world-destroying shockwave that swept outwards like a raging hurricane.

Wherever the shockwave passed, everything was destroyed.

The cloak of justice behind Aini fluttered in the wind, as if cheering for this breathtaking scene.

Looking at the scene before him, Aini couldn't help but sigh.

He had to admit that Whitebeard's sons were indeed very powerful, both in terms of their own strength and the Devil Fruit abilities they possessed, which were top-notch.

Marco's Phoenix Fruit grants him powerful regeneration and fire attack abilities; Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit allows him to control flames with astonishing power; Jozu's Diamond-Diamond Fruit makes his body as hard as diamond, providing him with super strong defense.

However, Enni also discovered a fatal weakness in them: their over-reliance on their Devil Fruit abilities. Although their Devil Fruit abilities were extremely powerful, and they had all developed them to an extremely high level, they seemed to have neglected the training of Haki.

Look at the world's top strongmen, from Cross, Roger, Whitebeard, Shanks, Big Mom, Kaido, to Shanks, aren't they all powerful and domineering?

As a powerful force, domineering aura can not only enhance one's own strength, but also produce unexpected effects in battle.

In contrast, the older women have done a much better job in cultivating their domineering aura.

Many of her subordinates have mastered the domineering aura and use it very skillfully.

Katakuri, in particular, not only possesses top-tier Armament Haki, but also exceptional Observation Haki, and even his Conqueror's Haki is on par with it. Add to that his awakened Devil Fruit ability, and he's practically an invincible monster.

If this guy really inherits Big Mom's steel balloon ability, his strength will probably surpass Big Mom's.

After all, the old lady's steel balloon is one of her signature moves, making her virtually invincible in battle. If this guy possessed that ability, combined with his own strength, he would likely become an extremely terrifying being.

Or rather, the fruit he ate was not an ordinary Paramecia-type Mochi Mochi Fruit, but an extremely powerful Zoan-type fruit.

In this way, he can also be ranked among the Four Emperors.

In Enni's opinion, this guy is simply the only person in the entire One Piece world whose talents have been wasted by a Devil Fruit.

Even if he had only eaten a dragon fruit, he could have become exceptionally powerful.

The difference between this guy and the other four emperors lies in his own strength. His attack power is clearly insufficient, which is the key reason why he cannot be compared with the other four emperors.

However, his Devil Fruit ability does not significantly increase his attack power.

However, if he possessed a powerful Zoan-type Devil Fruit, the situation would be entirely different. Zoan-type Devil Fruits often grant their users powerful physical attributes and combat abilities, allowing them to thrive in battle.

For this guy, a powerful Zoan-type Devil Fruit would undoubtedly be the key to his rapid rise in strength.

......

Getting back to the main point, the fierce clash between Aini and Jozu has now entered its final, crucial moment. Both are unleashing their full power without holding back, leaving no room for retreat.
