One Piece Seat Void - Chapter 252

An intense naval battle continues in the new world, in the Totland waters. Several large warships have already sunk beneath the cannon fire. The sea is filled with floating pirate bodies and broken boards.

Hot flames burn on the sea, boiling the pirates falling into the water. The roars, cries, and thunderous clashes of weapons echo over the waters. Oven and Daifuku of the Charlotte family are tearing through everything before them like monsters.

Their terrifying strength is far beyond what ordinary pirate lackeys can handle. More than ten pirate captains who followed Jin have already engaged in battle with the officers of the Charlotte family.

On the entire battlefield, the Rocks Pirates are at a disadvantage. However, Jin doesn’t seem to be concerned about the current situation. Being briefly at a disadvantage is something Jin knew from the beginning. Jin looked at Katakuri, who appeared just as calm and stretched his neck. 

The flames behind him suddenly burned intensely. His aura, unique to him, instantly spread. Feeling Jin’s aura, Katakuri, Oven, and Daifuku all looked at Jin simultaneously.

“Is this monster ready to make a move?” With a serious expression, Oven watched Jin, preparing for action at any moment.

“Daifuku, take care of those lackeys; the monster is about to strike!” Oven called to Daifuku, then rushed towards Jin.

“Heat Slash!” The giant sword in Oven’s hand quickly ignited into fiery flames and then fiercely slashed at Jin. A massive flaming slash sped through the sky toward Jin. With a calm expression, Jin watched the enormous slash without making any defensive moves.

“Sizzle!” The scorching flame slash hit Jin but didn’t cause any harm. Oven, in disbelief, stared at Jin, his expression extremely grim.

“This monster! My attack had no effect at all!” Oven shouted loudly and instantly appeared in front of Jin.

“Blazing Heat Fist!” Oven’s scorching-hot, flaming fist hammered Jin’s body.

A dull sound echoed from Jin’s body.

“How is this possible?” Oven, with a dark expression, looked at Jin and quickly retreated. Jin calmly glanced at Oven and patted his chest.

“Is this all the strength you have?”

“Oven, get out of the way quickly!” Suddenly, Katakuri seemed to see something and shouted to Oven. However, Jin didn’t give Oven a chance to escape. “Flame Emperor!” In the blink of an eye, a massive, flaming fist struck Oven’s chest.

Blood splattered as Oven’s chest was severely injured. After being struck by Jin’s attack, he lost consciousness and combat capability and was sent flying into the sea.

In the eyes of others, Oven considered a monster, had been entirely defeated by Jin’s single blow, losing consciousness and combat capability. The surrounding pirates stared in shock at Jin and then erupted into a fierce cheer.

“Hail to Lord Jin!”

“Hahaha! See that? In front of Lord Jin, everyone is nothing! Charge with Lord Jin!”

“Kill them all! Wipe out all the stragglers from Big Mom Pirates!”

“Charge!” The morale of the Rocks Pirates was significantly boosted, and they charged at the Big Mom Pirates with fervor. The already intense battle became even more fierce. Katakuri watched Jin flex his wrist. He knew that it was time to make a move.

Jin seemed to understand Katakuri’s intention and underwent a dramatic transformation. Fierce flames burned behind him, and fiery wings extended from his back. His mouth became sharp, resembling a bird’s beak.

“Buzz!” The flames surged and transformed Jin into a fiery winged dragon, charging at Katakuri. Watching Jin approaching rapidly, Katakuri conjured a flowing mochi mass in front of him, swiftly turning into two enormous palm-shaped hands under his control.

“Boom!” Jin’s sharp beak clashed violently with Katakuri’s mochi hands, creating a powerful impact that forced Katakuri to step back a few paces. Calm red eyes glowed, and Jin’s body transformed into a flowing mass of mochi in Katakuri’s presence.

In an instant, Jin’s fiery wings cut through Katakuri’s body, taking a piece of mochi with them. Avoiding Jin’s attack, Katakuri’s form condensed behind Jin, and he wielded a trident that had mysteriously appeared, piercing Jin’s body.

However, there was no excitement in Katakuri’s expression. He again transformed into a flowing mass of mochi and left Jin’s vicinity. A massive column of flames gushed from Jin’s back, turning the sky where Katakuri had been moments ago into a fiery inferno.

Katakuri reappeared about ten meters away from Jin, and his gaze focused on Jin with a grim expression. After their brief exchange, Katakuri and Jin realized they could not deal with each other. They could only determine a victor if they found each other’s weaknesses, even if they fought for days and nights.

And this was different from what Katakuri wanted. Engaging in a battle of endurance with a Paramecia Devil Fruit user was foolish. Thinking this, Katakuri’s ship deck suddenly transformed into a flowing mochi surface. With a calm expression, Jin observed the change happening before him.

“Awakening? This is my first time seeing the awakening of a Paramecia user with your abilities. It’s completely different from that guy’s awakening.” However, words aside, Jin took the situation seriously. 

It would be troublesome no matter what kind of awakening it was. Especially the awakening of Paramecia’s abilities, which could easily compete with Logia users. Furthermore, the awakenings of Paramecia’s abilities were incredibly diverse, and if not handled carefully, they could lead to a dead end.

Katakuri, with a severe expression, watched Jin stand on the mochi surface and then clapped his hands on the ground. “Flowing Mochi!” The previously smooth-flowing mochi on the deck suddenly began to ripple violently, then surged towards Jin with an engulfing force. 

Jin’s body burst into flames, and his wings flapped vigorously, carrying him into the sky and avoiding the incoming wave of mochi. Two large mochi balls suddenly appeared above Jin in the sky. “Monstrous strength, Mochi!” From within the two mochi balls, two enormous fists, covered in a rich armor Haki, violently struck Jin’s body. The tremendous force sent Jin crashing into the sky and smashing into the deck.
