After a bloody storm, only three people remained standing in the shattered arena.
Kaido, Big Mom, and Shen Yuan stood amidst a sea of corpses and blood.
"Little brat! You dared harm so many of my children—I'll make you pay with your life!"
Big Mom's rage surged to its peak.
A dark blue Conqueror's Haki aura erupted from her body, rippling violently in all directions!
"What else can you do besides birthing brats, you oversized sow?"
Shen Yuan stepped forward, unleashing a black-and-white advanced Conqueror's Haki, crashing violently into hers!
"RAAAHHHHHH!"
Kaido roared, eyes bloodshot. Crimson Haki radiated from his body—a wild, ferocious burst of raw will!
The three overwhelming Haoshoku Haki auras clashed in mid-air, none giving way!
As the atmosphere crackled with raw pressure, Shen Yuan locked eyes with Charlotte Linlin, his gaze sharp and filled with disdain.
"You know, you're the one I've wanted to kill the most. You disgusting old sow."
Kaido didn't feel insulted by the comment—he grinned instead.
With his arms uninjured and the fire of opportunity flickering in his eyes, Kaido muttered:
"You're bold, brat... Bold is good."
He turned to Big Mom and taunted, "Lingling! Why don't you take him down? If it were me, I'd have already crushed him!"
"Kaido! You bastard! This is all your fault!"
Big Mom's rage reached a breaking point. She could no longer contain herself. She lunged forward, eyes glowing red, ready to tear the brat apart!
"Brat! Will you choose... life... or death?!"
Soul-shaped white runes glowed all over her body as her Soru Soru no Mi (Soul-Soul Fruit) awakened fully!
Shen Yuan grinned, eyes locked onto her, exuding killing intent. The meaning behind his gaze was clear.
"The coercion of the weak is pitiful. You think your soul tricks can work on me? Hilarious."
Big Mom was visibly stunned.
Shen Yuan was the first person to ever completely resist her Soul Pocus, immune to her fear-based will-drain!
She hesitated and looked at Kaido.
"Kaido! This brat's not normal—we need to fight together!"
Kaido nodded. "Obviously. Who else would I team up with—him?"
Still, a dangerous thought crossed Kaido's mind.
What if… what if I did join forces with Shen Yuan and wiped out Big Mom?
But immediately, he dismissed the idea.
Partnering with that monster would be like making a pact with death.
Big Mom noticed Kaido's internal struggle and grew more suspicious.
Shen Yuan, watching gleefully, crossed his arms and mocked:
"Oi, old sow! Were all those kids just part of your plan to conquer the M78 Nebula or something?"
"Old... SOW?!"
Big Mom lost all reason.
"Heavenly Fire: Planetary Soul Compression!"
Shen Yuan roared, raising his hand. All debris—rocks, corpses, shattered weapons—were pulled upward by a massive gravitational force.
They began forming a gigantic black sphere in the sky!
"Mom! Save me—!"
Daifuku was the first to be sucked upward by the pull.
Owen, Smoothie, Cracker, Katakuri—dozens of children and soldiers—all followed, drawn into the growing death sphere!
The three Emperors watched, stunned.
Quinn whispered, "Thank the gods I surrendered. I would've been next."
Jack nodded. "Big brother Quinn speaks the truth."
King muttered, "I hope Kaido-sama can endure…"
Jack again: "Big brother King is wise!"
Shen Yuan, hand raised, held the black sphere aloft, filled with Big Mom's entire bloodline.
"You so much as twitch... I'll blow it all up."
Jack: "Big brother Shen Yuan is always right!"
King: "…"
Quinn: "…"
Big Mom dared not move.
"You dare blow them up, I'll—!"
"If you move, I'll explode it."
"If you explode it, I'll move!"
"If you dare move—I'll REALLY explode it."
"This is going nowhere!"
Big Mom, calming slightly, lowered Napoleon slowly.
"Alright brat... speak."
But before she could finish—
BOOM!!!
The sky-black sphere exploded!
"Heaven-Trembling Meteor Fissure!"
Shen Yuan's fist slammed upward, sending a spear of dark energy into the core of the mass, detonating it instantly.
BOOOOOOM!
It was like a nuclear detonation in the sky!
Big Mom stared in horror, mouth agape.
At that very moment—
A figure hiding within Onigashima clicked away furiously on a camera.
"Big news... HUGE NEWS!"
It was Morgans, recording every second of the cataclysmic event.
He muttered gleefully, "Shen Yuan didn't lie! I granted one request... and got the scoop of a lifetime!"
Body parts rained from the heavens—charred limbs, weapons, shredded flesh.
Only a few survived the blast, barely breathing.
Shen Yuan had spared only a handful—mainly Katakuri and two other generals—for his own amusement.
It was nothing short of genocide against Big Mom's bloodline.
"LITTLE BRAT! I'LL KILL YOU!"
Big Mom charged, roaring with madness.
Zeus and Prometheus struck from the flanks—lightning, flame, and wind burst in every direction!
The sky cracked under the pressure.
"We're past the appetizers. Let's begin the main course."
Shen Yuan's black armor surged out again.
He even formed sunglasses from his energy, sliding them on coolly.
"Old sow, take this!"
"You little rat, take my blade!"
"HYAAAH!!"
Fist and sword collided with a thunderous blast!
"Check it out—LEFT FIST!"
Big Mom didn't respond. Her eyes held only pure murderous intent.
Shen Yuan vanished in a burst of speed.
With a jab cloaked in black Haki, he struck her ribs!
BOOM!
The impact sent her stumbling!
"RIGHT FIST—Thousand-Degree Impact!"
He followed with a brutal cross to her skull!
The golden Haki burned her headscarf, singed her hair, and seared her brow!
The massive shock reverberated through her entire body—she staggered back, dazed!
Still, her Yonkō toughness and soul-imbued body kept her standing.
"Emperor Sword: Flame Severance!"
Napoleon ignited in Prometheus' fire and slashed downward!
CRASH!!
A deep trench exploded across the battlefield!
But Shen Yuan didn't stop.
He disappeared again, reappearing with a brutal uppercut!
"It's an uppercut!"
The air snapped with the force of the blow!
Kaido watched silently, formulating a new plan.
Shen Yuan leapt high above the battlefield.
"Heavenly Judgment Fist!"
A fist wrapped in pitch-black energy slammed down on Big Mom's crown!
BOOM!
She was knocked senseless but still didn't fall!
"What an indestructible sow!"
Despite the punishment, Big Mom remained on her feet, albeit dazed and bloody.
Without hesitation, Shen Yuan drew his blade.
Dark mist burst from the scabbard—his Awakened Sword Style activating fully!
"One-Sword Style: Black Flash!"
With a burst of speed, he slashed a shadowy arc across her chest!
SLASH!
When he reappeared, he stood with his back to her, flicking blood from the blade.
A deep, grotesque wound gushed blood from Big Mom's torso.
"Is that all, you tired hag?"
Shen Yuan rubbed his chin.
After all, this was still 10 years before Luffy's departure in 1520. Naturally, Big Mom was weaker than her peak form.
"Guh... cough!!"
She spat blood. Napoleon fell from her hand with a metallic clang.
A thought crossed Shen Yuan's mind—
What kind of reward would the system give... if I killed a Yonkō?
Or a member of the Gorosei?
Or... even the final boss?
He fell into deep thought, shifting his gaze between Kaido and Big Mom.
Kaido's earlier pride vanished—now, only fear remained.
"You... you…"
Before he could speak—
Three top subordinates rushed in.
They all fell to their knees before Shen Yuan.
Jack: "Brother Shen Yuan, please spare Kaido-sama!"
Jhin: "Please, sir! Have mercy!"
Quinn: "You are my father now! My real father! Let us go!"
Shen Yuan, amused, rested his chin on his fist and decided.
He turned his blade back toward Big Mom.
She was regaining consciousness, bloodied but still alive.
She staggered up, fists trembling with Haki.
"Brat... I'll kill you... Soul Realm—Weakened Domain!!"
Her aura surged again—powerful, frenzied, and unstable!
Her eyes turned pale-white. Her fists blazed with Armament Haki.
"You're still moving?"
Shen Yuan smiled and vanished, blade ready.
And then—
He struck.
