One Piece : From Slave to Fleet Admiral

In the world of Pirates, where monsters roamed freely, a 20-million-volt discharge wasn't considered overwhelmingly powerful.

Even the initially weak Usopp could survive such an attack and remain lively.

Let alone someone like Pica, whose entire body was reinforced with Armament Haki.

Under its defense, the damage from 20 million volts would be drastically reduced.

But Jake had already accounted for this.

His attacks weren't about raw power—they were about speed.

Like high-attack-speed, low-damage characters in games, though they might seem ineffective at first glance, their rapid strikes could eventually wear down even the toughest tanks.

The sole advantage of Jake's new technique was its blistering speed.

With a mere 0.1-second interval, Jake could unleash ten lightning strikes in a single second.

While the damage didn't stack, his passive Holy Light Infusion ensured each attack inflicted debilitating effects like 'paralysis' 'burning' and 'confussion.'

As long as luck wasn't entirely against him, these effects would trigger reliably after the barrage of lightning.

At the same time, due to Jake's background in physics, he knew that striking stone with lightning would inflict some extremely troublesome negative effects on Pica.

First was the thermal effect: When lightning struck the stone, the heat generated by the electric current would rapidly raise the surface temperature, potentially causing scorching, cracking, or disintegration.

Second was the electrical damage: The high-voltage current passing through the stone could cause internal structural damage, even triggering explosions.

Once these effects took hold, whether in terms of Pica's defensive capabilities or the internal damage to his body, his combat power would be drastically reduced in an instant.

Pica was clearly aware of this as well.

Sensing the frequency of Jake's attacks, he didn't hesitate for even a second—immediately coating his body in Armament Haki before swiftly burrowing into the pile of rocks, starting from his legs.

His plan was to endure Jake's assault momentarily, then use the massive, hundreds-of-meters-wide rock formation to disperse the impact of the attacks.

Pica truly lived up to his reputation as one of Doflamingo's trusted executives.

In such a short time, every decision he made was the optimal countermeasure.

Unfortunately, Jake had already anticipated all of Pica's possible reactions.

Without hesitation, his pupils contracted slightly—and in the next moment, an overwhelming, terrifying aura erupted from him.

Conqueror's Haki wasn't just for clearing out small fry; when concentrated enough against a single target, it could momentarily stun them!

And it was precisely this burst of Conqueror's Haki that froze Pica in place.

Even his legs, which had already merged with the rocks, slowly began to retreat from the stone pile.

When a Devil Fruit user's focus wavers, the effects of their abilities can easily fail—a fact proven time and again, whether with Sugar or Perona.

Seeing Pica standing there dazed, Jake didn't waste a second.

Pale golden light and crackling blue arcs intertwined in his hands and in an instant, a circular pattern etched with a cross materialized beneath Pica's feet.

"Baptism of Light·Hundred Thunder!"

As Jake's voice rang out, what should have been a torrent of Holy Light now carried countless streaks of lightning—lasting more than twice as long as before!

Countless lightning bolts descended alongside the several-meters-wide pillar of Holy Light, crashing mercilessly onto Pica.

The blinding radiance of the Holy Light washed over his vision, turning everything white.

The rocks covering his body shattered under the lightning, corroded by the heat.

The agony and paralysis from the electric strikes pushed Pica to his absolute limit.

Still disoriented, he stared at Jake and muttered weakly.

"Someone like you... doesn't deserve Conqueror's Haki. That's a power only the Young Master is worthy of wielding!"

Looking at Pica, who was still talking tough despite the black smoke coming from his mouth, Jake couldn't be bothered to waste words on him.

He had no idea what strange charm Doflamingo possessed that made these people obey his every command so blindly.

Jake raised his arm, Holy Light gathering in his hand.

Just as he aimed at Pica's heart and was about to attack, the ground beneath him trembled slightly.

Pica's weak and hoarse voice rang out at that moment.

"No matter what, I won't fail the task Young Master entrusted to me a second time! Even if I die here, I can't betray Young Master's expectations of me!"

With that, blood began to flow from Pica's nostrils, ears, eyes, and mouth, while a layer of pale white smoke ignited across his body.

Having long mastered Life Return, Jake immediately recognized that the man was practically burning his own life force at this point.

Against such an opponent, Jake wouldn't show the slightest carelessness.

In an instant, he changed the hand gesture originally meant for "Spear of Victory," lowering his arm instead.

Then, a massive cross materialized in Jake's hand—one formed purely from Holy Light Energy, appearing breathtakingly beautiful and radiant.

Jake looked at Pica, his voice carrying a hint of anticipation.

"You know what? I originally planned to use this move against stronger enemies. But now, your strength has earned my recognition. So let this technique send you off from this world!"

"Valiant Aria!"

"Saint Wall"

As Jake's voice fell, a flawless white light descended from the faint Holy Light above his head.

In the next moment, Jake felt his entire body filled with explosive power—no, not just physical strength, but also mental energy and recovery capabilities!

Light yet brimming with power, this sensation made Jake feel as if the world before his eyes had transformed into something entirely different.

He gazed at Pica before him and continued slowly.

"Any last words? I'll relay them to Doflamingo for you."

"I'll definitely kill you, you—"

"Seems like there aren't any. Then to prevent you from causing me trouble later, you'd better die here!"

A wall of light shot forth from the cross in Jake's hand, growing to dozens of meters tall within mere breaths.

----------------------

Spear of Victory :

Pierces targets with spears of raw divinity. The spear only deals Light damage to a limited number of targets.

When you create the spear, holding down the Skill button will charge it.

Spears that have been charged deal greater Light damage.

Saint Wall :

Uses holy power to create a wall of light in front.

The wall quickly moves forward, inflicting Light magic damage on enemies in its path and dragging them along with it until it reaches the end of its range.

It then causes a big explosion, inflicting Light magic damage.

Valiant Aria :

Casts Valiant Area, intensifying buff effects cast on allies and inflicting Light Magical damage on enemies within range.

The Aria's buff effect temporarily remains after the Aria ends or if the allies go out of range.
