Chapter 7: Jon's Tactic
A powerful move to confront, do you have any temper?
Anyway, Jon had no temper at all.
The "Venom-Venom Fruit" was too overpowered!
Even the infamous Blackbeard was badly poisoned when fighting against Magellan.
Jon didn't want to take risks.
Without much thought, he quickly retreated tens of meters.
Magellan, transformed into "Venom Demon" and roared, "Prepare to die!"
A gigantic palm fiercely slapped down.
Jon's mind shifted slightly as he dodged into the "Inner World."
Boom!
The Demon palm landed, instantly corroding the blue stone bricks.
Magellan was annoyed.
Damn, this damn guy was too good at dodging!
"Shoo!" "Shoo!"
The same trick was repeated.
Exiting the "Inner World," Jon dished out two compressed air blades.
Magellan stood still, letting the slashes land on him, his face as calm as water.
Staring at Jon dozens of meters away, he loudly questioned, "Are you only capable of jumping around like a flea?"
Come on, face me head-on! What was the point of dodging?
Jon shrugged, "Yeah, yeah, you're right about everything."
Here we go!
No matter what others say, by responding with "Yeah, yeah, you're right" would irritate them.
To be honest, Jon wouldn't have fought Magellan if he didn't want to buy time for Ace and the others.
In conclusion, assassins only target the weak points and wouldn't challenge the tough guys like Akainu, Kizaru, and Garp.
I won't fight you, and you couldn't catch me either~
Jon smiled and disappeared once again.
"Don't run!"
Magellan was furious.
Although the "Venom Demon" was incredibly destructive, it wasn't omnipotent.
This move had a fatal weakness.
That was, it was too slow.
He really couldn't deal with agile opponents like Jon.
More than ten minutes passed.
The situation was still in deadlock.
The prison guards didn't dare to step in because of the "Venom Demon," so they could only watch helplessly as Jon repeatedly used his mysterious abilities to toy with their Head Warden.
The guards couldn't help but become nervous.
Wow.
Jon was too strong!
Suddenly, a blue-gray figure rushed over.
"Jon, my friend, I'm here to help you!"
Jinbe's fist struck suddenly.
"Color of Arms Haki Water Shot!"
The water droplets in his palm were like bullets, fiercely blasting towards Magellan."
Magellan muttered to himself, feeling uneasy.
Jon was already difficult to deal with, and now there was a Fish-Man brute added to the mix? They might be in trouble!
"Boom!"
The water droplets hit the "Venom Demon" squarely.
However, the damage caused was minimal.
Jinbe didn't mind. He stood beside Jon and whispered, "Jon, my friend, we've luckily found a ship. It's time to leave!"
"Mm."
Jon nodded.
After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Jinbe, you go first, I'll stay behind."
Upon hearing this, Jinbe became anxious.
"No, we leave together!"
"Have you forgotten my ability? Magellan can't hurt me. Besides, if we don't leave someone behind, he won't let us go easily."
Jon gave Jinbe a reassuring look.
"Alright, we'll wait for you at the dock!"
Thinking of Jon's amazing teleportation ability, Jinbe didn't insist further.
Jinbe acted decisively, taking a glance at the "Venom Demon" in the distance, then quickly striding away.
This left Magellan somewhat puzzled.
Just then, Jon suddenly burst into laughter, "What a good game it has been, but playtime ends here! Mr. Warden, from now on, I'm getting serious."
Huh? Magellan's heart skipped a beat.
"Remember! My name is Jon Joestar! This name will become the nightmare of your remaining days!"
The more dramatic the play, the better the effect.
Jon began his immersive performance.
It turned out he was just testing the waters!
Magellan dared not be careless, maximizing the power of his Venom-Venom Fruit ability. The surface of the "Venom Demon" bubbled like boiling water, emitting continuous bubbles.
"Very well." Jon seemed very satisfied with the other's performance, "Mr. Warden, you now deserve my full attention."
Pausing for a moment, he continued, "My sword technique, 'Radiant Extreme Mad Dragon's Sky Slash,' can split mountains and divide seas. You must be careful."
Radiant Extreme Mad Dragon's Sky Slash? Sounds powerful!
Magellan's breath involuntarily became heavier.
"This is my all-out attack. Once I execute it, I will be weakened state, completely losing my combat ability."
Staring at the "Venom Demon" formed by Magellan, Jon smiled.
"It's what they call a finishing attack."
Which fool was confident enough to reveal the side effects of their trump card to their opponent?
Magellan didn't want to lose his momentum and coldly replied, "By that time, I will reserve the best cell for you in the 'Eternal Hell.'"
"You don't understand."
Jon pretended to be a master, shaking his head gently.
"After I unleash this strike, you, along with those guards behind you, and even this prison, will cease to exist."
As his words fell, the atmosphere fell into a deadly silence.
The guards were stunned.
Destroying Impel Down with one strike?
Was he joking?
Magellan's unease grew stronger.
He really wanted to see a hint of deceit on the other's face.
But unfortunately, all he saw was confidence.
Confidence and composure.
Sheathing his sword and assuming a ready stance, Jon spoke word by word, "Mr. Warden, do you have any last words?"
"You audacious ruffian, stop being so arrogant. I want to see how you'll destroy the Impel Down I guard!"
Magellan was furious.
He condensed all his strength to form a venomous shield.
Jon smiled faintly, "Since that's the case, then die!"
Here it comes! Here it comes! Radiant Extreme Mad Dragon's Sky Slash! Including Magellan, all the guards of the advancing fortress held their breath.
Suddenly, Jon's figure disappeared.
Magellan's heartbeat involuntarily slowed down.
Up? Down? Left? Right? From where will the enemy attack!
One second passed, thirty seconds passed, one minute passed.
Jon still didn't appear.
The more Magellan thought about it, the more something felt of.
Could it be...
"Oh no! I've been tricked!"
A surge of blood blocked Magellan's throat.
What "Radiant Extreme Mad Dragon's Sky Slash," it's all bullshit! That guy Jon Joestar was clearly bluffing and took the opportunity to run away!
Dispelling the Venom Demon, Magellan suppressed the urge to vomit blood and shouted urgently, "Chase after him! We mustn't let Jon Joestar escape!"
Meanwhile, at the dock several kilometers away.
"Haha!"
Jon's expression was indifferent, but deep down, he was laughing so hard.
He did lie.
But, he only told half the truth.
Jon's secret technique, or rather the secret technique of the entire Joestar family, was not some mysterious "Radiant Extreme Mad Dragon's Sky Slash."
It was "Run if you can"~ Encounter an enemy you can't handle? Just run away.
