Bellamy stood in front of Jotaro, grinning wide, "You're really different from those people before, you actually know how to throw a punch. I'm kind of interested in you now."
Jotaro lit a cigarette.
"Get lost. I'm not in a good mood right now, don't force me to beat you flying."
Hearing this, Bellamy froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"Kid, don't get too cocky. Beating Sarkies shows you've got some skill, but only at a middle level. I'm completely different from that kind of trash…"
Jotaro's face darkened.
His patience had a limit.
Before Bellamy finished his words, Jotaro's fist had already smashed into his face.
Bellamy flew backward, dragging with him a group of drinking pirates into disaster.
'How could it be… such strong power!'
Bellamy was secretly shocked, smashing into the tavern wall like a fired cannonball, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, the Bellamy Pirates didn't worry, instead they gloated.
"Even if he really is Jotaro, this time he's doomed. Bellamy is a Spring Man, the greater the force used to hit him, the stronger the rebound he gives back."
Muret explained proudly while looking for Nami, but Nami was nowhere to be seen.
She and Vivi had run off somewhere.
"Strange, where did she go?"
Bellamy came back even faster than when he was sent flying.
Jotaro's attack force was all converted into Bellamy's own power, and Bellamy boosted it with his own strength to accelerate further.
"A Devil Fruit user?" Jotaro noticed Bellamy approaching, his long brows furrowing as he realized the oddity of Bellamy's body.
Against this kind of person, he would not be careless.
Armament Haki gradually wrapped around his hand.
"Watch me finish you in an instant!" Bellamy shouted, "Spring Sniper!"
Boom!
Smoke filled the air, dust swirled, the tavern collapsed, and the whole island shook slightly.
Everyone inside the tavern was blown flying, scattering all over the ground.
"Good thing I had foresight." Nami patted her chest. "I already knew not a single person in that place would escape."
All those people had mocked Jotaro, and with his vengeful nature, he would definitely think of paying them back.
"This guy is amazing, I have to get him on our crew."
Luffy shouted in excitement from afar.
Zoro said in disbelief, "His power is way too terrifying."
This terrifying aura, he had only felt before under Mihawk.
The smoke cleared. Bellamy's body was buried deep into the ground, the earth around him cracked everywhere.
Suddenly, from the cracks, two obvious fissures spread rapidly outward.
Mock Town shook even harder, the whole island instantly split in two.
Jotaro looked at his fist.
Ever since coming to the pirate world, he had always used Star Platinum with Haki, and rarely used Haki with his own body.
He never expected his own strength to have reached such an astonishing level.
He himself didn't have Star Platinum's precise control. With one punch, the island where Mock Town sat had been split in half.
"Yare yare daze…"
Hands in his pockets, Jotaro pretended it wasn't his doing and calmly left the scene.
Next time, he would be more careful.
———
"So he really is that Jotaro!"
"A bounty of one billion, no wonder it wasn't just talk!"
The people of Mock Town realized too late. By the time they figured it out, Jotaro had already left.
His tracks on the island spread quickly.
No one dared question his strength again.
The locals didn't even resent Jotaro for destroying their homes, they even took pride in it.
That Jotaro had come here and split their island in half would become a golden signboard, attracting countless pirates on the Grand Line to visit.
Not long after, Mock Town was renamed Rift Valley Town.

"Chief Spandine, we've already tracked Kujo Jotaro's whereabouts."
"He's been missing a long time, but not long ago he appeared in Mock Town in the first half of the Grand Line."
Spandine had participated in the mission to annihilate Ohara twenty years ago.
After perfectly completing the mission, he earned the World Government's appreciation, climbing higher and higher.
But because his abilities were limited, even after so many years, though he held considerable authority, he still could not touch the true power center of this world.
Such a greedy and ambitious man naturally was unwilling to accept that.
He had always been searching for chances to climb further upward.
"Kujo Jotaro is considered by the Five Elders as second only to the Revolutionary Army's leader, Monkey D. Dragon, among dangerous individuals."
"If I can solve this problem for the Five Elders, I'll definitely be promoted by them. Maybe I could even become their direct subordinate."
Becoming a direct subordinate of the Five Elders was even more prestigious than being a Warlord of the Sea.
Just imagining it made Spandine's breathing grow heavy.
"Jotaro's movements now?" He narrowed his eyes, looking at his subordinate.
"According to our informants, Jotaro was recently seen with the missing princess of Alabasta, Nefertari Vivi."
"Subordinate speculates Vivi must have been kidnapped by Jotaro."
"So their final destination is obvious, Alabasta!"
"I think he wants to use Princess Vivi to extort a high ransom from Alabasta."
Spandine nodded, thinking his subordinate's words made sense.
"What a despicable man."
"Alabasta… if we leave from Mary Geoise it might be too late."
Suddenly he thought of his son, Spandam.
Spandam was at Enies Lobby, much closer to Alabasta, and there was the sea train there.
If he let Spandam do it, he could definitely reach Alabasta before Jotaro arrived.
Then they could set up a trap, and even if Jotaro grew wings, he wouldn't escape.
Spandine thought it over, since it was his own son, his success would still be considered his success. When the time came, he could just take the credit.
With that thought, he immediately dialed Spandam's line.
"Dad, are you serious? If I kill this man, I can directly take your place?"
"Don't worry, I'll temporarily stop the action against Water 7 and focus entirely on completing the task you assigned!"

"Air pressure, humidity, all within normal range. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll reach the Kingdom of Alabasta in three days."
Nami comforted Vivi, "Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Not long ago, the News Coo had delivered a newspaper. It reported the recent situation in the Kingdom of Alabasta.
The rebel army had gathered forces and planned to attack the capital, Alubarna.
After hearing this intel, Vivi's mood sank heavily.
"Thank you, Nami." Vivi forced a smile.
Nami patted her shoulder.
"Even if the rebels and the royal army clash, it's fine. Just tens of thousands of people."
"With that guy's strength, he can surely end the war in an instant."
"Don't worry. He definitely won't just stand by and watch."
Vivi lifted her eyes, gazing at the black figure ahead. Unknowingly, her restless heart gradually calmed down.
