"Boom——!"
Shen Yuan landed heavily in the center of the arena, shaking the earth and smashing a wide crater beneath his feet.
With a casual twirl of the Tuntian Sword, he slowly sheathed the blade, sweeping the stunned crowd with a calm yet chilling gaze.
"Haha! What a grand entrance!"
"Boom——!"
Another sonic crash followed as Big Mom slammed down from above, creating a second crater on the opposite end.
"Mmm~ Mmm! Now that's a spicy little devil!"
Ignoring her provocative laughter, Shen Yuan gave a faint smile.
"Then let's begin."
As he spoke, waves of black mist surged up from his skin. A layer of ominous armor erupted over his body—black as obsidian, jagged as if forged in hellfire.
"Demon Form: Abyssal Black Armor – Awakened State!"
As soon as his words fell,
"Shup!"
Shen Yuan took a single step forward and vanished, reappearing a breath later with his hand wrapped tightly around Charlotte Daifuku's neck!
He violently swung Daifuku through the air and smashed him to the ground with a deafening impact.
"Boom——!"
Shards of stone exploded, dust flying.
"Mmm! Mmm! What a wild cub!"
Big Mom immediately summoned Zeus and Prometheus, launching a dual elemental barrage toward him!
"Stolen Fire!"
But Shen Yuan didn't even glance her way. Instead, he was already weaving through her army—his body a blur of afterimages.
As he once joked:
"Cutting weeds comes before digging roots!"
A single brutal punch connected with an unlucky Beast Pirate—
"Splat!"
His skull shattered like a watermelon, and the sickening stench of blood blanketed the air.
"Now!"
While the enemy forces froze in shock, Shen Yuan reappeared beside Charlotte Katakuri!
Katakuri's expression changed instantly. He raised his trident, but too late!
"His Observation Haki… it surpasses mine?!"
Shen Yuan's empowered punch drove into Katakuri's chest, launching him through a building, smashing through walls like paper!
"Whoosh!"
Another figure flashed—Charlotte Cracker was preparing his Biscuit Soldiers—
But Shen Yuan's whip-kick crushed into his jaw before he could act!
"Urgh!"
Cracker spat blood violently, his whole body shaking from the concussive blow.
Shen Yuan zipped through the battlefield like a hurricane—so fast that even Kaido and Big Mom hesitated to intervene!
"What a hassle!" Big Mom growled.
With a deep breath, she bellowed:
"All forces! Retreat! Clear the battlefield!"
The command echoed like thunder—and the scene turned chaotic.
As Shen Yuan rampaged forward, fists flying, even Kaido's All-Stars began to falter.
"Don't run, old friend!" bellowed Jack the Drought, tusks barely developed.
His voice cracked with fury, but the fear in his eyes betrayed him.
He slammed a hoof into the ground, trying to rally—
"Pfft!"
Only to kneel down mid-charge, hands clasped together!
"Brother Shen! I was wrong! Please don't hit me again! My tusks just started growing!"
"Boom!"
A casual side-kick launched Jack like a cannonball out of the arena!
While airborne, Jack gave a cheerful thumbs-up and a bright grin.
For once, he looked... grateful.
He had done what needed to be done—retreat via boot.
Shen Yuan's brow furrowed as he turned his gaze to Queen.
Feeling that piercing gaze, Queen's legs buckled.
"Pfft!"
He also knelt in place without hesitation.
The image of Shen Yuan smashing a man's head like a melon still haunted him.
"Brother Shen, I've always admired your strength. May I also be kicked out now?"
Shen Yuan stood momentarily dazed.
What the hell?
Even the Charlotte Family and Beast Pirates froze. The arena, now half-emptied by fear, had gone quiet.
"Are these really my top fighters?"
Kaido looked like he'd aged ten years. His massive dragon face turned from blue to red.
Big Mom leaned over and whispered:
"Kaido... your face looks like a malfunctioning Den Den Mushi."
"Boom!"
Suddenly, an explosion rang out—Kaido and Big Mom turned toward it—
Only to see Shen Yuan with Charlotte Oven's head in hand, slamming it into the ground!
He then shifted his grip and threw a full-force punch into Oven's face—
"Crack!"
Bones shattered audibly. But Shen Yuan wasn't done.
He raised one leg high, then stomped it down with all his might.
"Boom——!"
Oven's head embedded deep into the arena floor like a crushed coconut.
When Shen Yuan withdrew his boot, human tissue clung to the sole—gruesome and grotesque.
Nearby, Daifuku, bloodied but still conscious, activated his fruit ability.
"Devil Emerge!"
A large genie surged from his body, floating ominously in the air.
Before he could command it, Shen Yuan's Death Aura activated—one of his passive awakening traits.
The Reaper's Will alone crushed the genie mid-air into nothingness!
Daifuku's eyes widened in hopelessness.
"Whoosh!"
Shen Yuan reappeared in front of him with a powerful roundhouse kick aimed at the gut!
"Ohhh!"
Daifuku's body bent into the shape of a Celsius sign, soaring into the sky, spinning like a rag doll!
High above, his silhouette shimmered under the moonlight—an eerie symbol of defeat.
"Want to play next?"
He turned to Smoothie, who had remained frozen in place the entire time.
Her fingers trembled as she raised her sword, forcing herself not to break.
But Shen Yuan struck before she could react—
"Boom!"
His punch landed directly in her gut!
"Puff!"
Smoothie vomited blood, her entire body dragged toward him by the sheer gravity of his Haki-infused blow!
"Boom!" Boom! Boom!"
He grabbed her and began Iron Mountain-ing her through walls across the arena.
After his combo finished, he leaped back, gripped her throat from behind—
"Bang!"
A devastating shoulder throw drove her into the floor—embedded like a turnip.
"Smoothie!!"
Twin sisters Charlotte Strong and Charlotte Citron cried out.
"Oops, forgot you two."
Shen Yuan vanished.
In less than a heartbeat, he was behind them.
"Go keep your sister company."
A swift, silent flash of his blade—a phantom flower of steel.
Two necks slit clean.
"You…you're a monster!"
"N-no… we'll go join our sister…"
Their bodies crumpled, lifeless.
"Crack! Crack!"
Shen Yuan stepped up, Tuntian Sword resting on his shoulder, standing atop a pile of corpses.
He cast a cold, arrogant glare at Kaido and Big Mom.
"Kaido… and you, pig-faced sow—come kneel and entertain me!"
