"Charge—"

  "Damn invaders!"

  "Shimotsuki Kouzaburou, you traitors!"

  "Kill them all!"

  g! g!

  Boom! Boom!

  "Arghhh—"

  The battlefield before the Flower Capital was a se of utter chaos. Shouts, curses, and the csh of steel rang out ceaselessly amidst explosions and bloodshed.

  Suddenly, a formidable samurai wielding a haki-infused sword sshed through two advang Lizard Homies with sheer might. Radiating killing i, he prepared to charge forward—

  Zzzzt—

  A fsh of lightnied. In the samurai’s path stood a small figure, around five meters tall. This child-like flowing with crag electricity and sp a pair of wings, was Thor. Eyes brimming with excitement, he looked down at the much shorter samurai, who barely reached two meters.

  "Hey, samurai! I'll be your oppo!"

  "A child?" The samurai’s pupils tracted in shock, but his expression quickly hardened.

  With a roar, the samurai swung his pitch-bck bde down mercilessly.

  "Die!!"

  g!!

  Sparks flew.

  "What?!"

  The samurai froze, disbelief twisting his features. Thor stood unscathed; the bde had failed to cut him. At that very moment, another samurai attacked from the side, his sword infused with haki and aimed at Thor’s neck.

  g!!

  The sed bde shattered upon impabsp;

  "Impossible… How this be?!"

  The samurai’s voice trembled as he stared at his broken on.

  "You’re all so weak!"

  Thor tilted his head nontly and flexed his neck. Grabbing both bdes in his small, glowing hands, he sneered:

  "These don’t even hurt… Dad said for weaklings like you, 30 million volts is enough."

  His fiightened like iron cmps on the hilts, immobilizing the swords.

  "But I’ll try 50 million volts!"

  Zzzzt! Zzzzt!

  Terrifying currents of electricity surged through the swords, rag into the two samurai.

  "Ahhhhhh!!"

  Their screams of agony filled the air. Within moments, they colpsed, scorched and lifeless.

  "Ishihara!!" another samurai cried, his face torted with rage. Seeing his fallen rades, his eyes turned red. R in fury, he gripped his bde and sprioward Thor.

  "Damn invader!!"

  "Huh?" Thor raised an eyebrow, fog his bright, electric gaze on the approag samurai.

  "Divine Judgment!!"

  Thor’s right hand transformed into pure lightning, unleashing a massive pilr of thuhat tore through the battlefield.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The blinding n of lightning obliterated the samurai and tinued onward, ripping through the ground. Nearby samurai and even some Lizard Homies were caught i. The Lizard Homies, onewhat insuted, had been modified with metallipos via the Nomi Nomi no Mi. Uo resist the electricity, they were engulfed by intense heat and lightning.

  "That kid…"

  "What kind of monster is he?!"

  "It’s Thor-sama!"

  "Yhness, don’t go overboard!"

  Soldiers and anders watched Thor’s dispy in stunned disbelief, the battlefield illuminated by his electric fury. Enemies and allies alike, including warriors such as Shimotsuki Ushimaru, flinched as cold sweat ran down their backs.

  “No wonder Lord El sent the pregnant women to the future…” Shimotsuki Ushimaru sighed deeply, his face a mixture of awe and dread. “Monsters like this… They’re not human.”

  After all, Thor, the eldest son of the Kukulkan family, was only five years old. For other Lunarians, the sheer gap in talent would not only disappoint their parents—it would instill a profound sense of inadequacy within any siblings.

  “Thor, you idiot!”

  At that moment, Gerd, now standing at her usual five or six meters, khor on the head. “Look at what you did—you hit our own side, you big dummy!”

  Fortunately, Gerd had honed her Soul-Soul Fruit abilities to araordinary degree. Whether it was newly deceased lifeforms or destroyed Homies soldiers, she could recim their souls and repurpose them. In other words, the true losses were only the raw materials enhanced by the Nomi Nomi Fruit.

  “Sorry! Sorry! I won’t do it that hard ime!” Thor looked around at the destru he caused, his face filled with guilt like a scolded child. Even so, he felt a little aggrieved. He hadn’t expected the eo be so weak—they couldn’t even withstand his lightest attack. He’d only followed his father’s instrus and lightly eled his lightning. He hadn’t used even a fra of his true power!

  “Roar—”

  A thunderous beastly roar echoed across the battlefield. A massive figure emerged, shrouded in dark mist. It had the head of a moiger cws, and the body of a lion. Its fiery fur bzed, adorned with dark wings and a mane of bck fmes. A venomous sail flicked behind it, hissing menagly. Suspended midair, as if riding on clouds, the creature was a sight from nightmares.

  “What kind of monster is that?!”

  “Wait… It looks like the legendary Great Demon—Nue!”

  “That winged child… He’s a sorcerer!”

  Some enemy samurai recoiled in disbelief, while others reized the creature as the Nue, a mythical beast from Wano’s legends.

  “Samurai… Go die!!”

  With a roar, Frey—now in his Nue Beast Form—surged forward, s through the sky amid thunder and clouds. His terrifying howl transformed into lightning, bsting the samurai below.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  “Arghhh!”

  Several unsuspeg samurai were instantly annihited. More skilled warriors mao evade and prepared to retaliate. But before they could strike:

  Whoosh!

  A wave of intense heat swept the battlefield. A massive bird, engulfed in blue fmes, soared toward the samurai, its wings radiating unimaginable heat.

  “Frey, you’re too slow! Watch this!” The voice beloo Sif, now in her Phoenix Form, diving into the enemy ranks.

  “Damn it!”

  “One-Sword Style: Swallow Rain!”

  “Fox Style: Fme Ssh!”

  The samurai gritted their teeth and unched fierce terattacks, their haki-infused bdes fshing as they struck the fming bird.

  g! g!

  Their bdes bounced harmlessly off Sif’s bzing form.

  “What?!” The samurai’s faces paled.

  Their swords, bolstered by their treasured haki, failed to scratch the phoenix’s feathers. Instead, a sharp metallig echoed as though they had struck solid steel. For those wielding weaker bdes, their swords snapped uhe impact.

  “What… What kind of fire is this?! Ghost fmes?”

  “Damn it! It won’t go out!”

  “Help! Arghhh—”

  Blue fmes g to their bodies. Desperate, some rolled on the ground, others tried to bury themselves in dirt, but nothiinguished the fmes. They watched in horror as the fire ed everything—clothes, flesh, bone—leaving only ash.

  “It won’t go out… It’s burning through everything!”

  “Save me! Save—”

  Their cries were cut short as their bodies turo ash, ed by the unquenchable fire.

  The battlefield desded into horror.

  The sight of warriors being burned alive, rolling in agony before being reduced to charred husks, sent shivers through the ranks of their rades.
