This Is All Kid's Fault!

Having witnessed the Masked Man's bizarre power firsthand, the members of the Kid Pirates, who had been shouting on the deck, finally stopped flaring up their inextinguishable black flames, sending chills down the spines of these seasoned pirates who had been battling the high seas for so long.

They instinctively gripped their weapons, but no longer to provoke; rather, they were trying to calm themselves and prepare to negotiate.

In their view, even if the other party's strength was strange, as long as they were willing to communicate, there was always room for maneuver.

However, they were wrong in the end.

From beginning to end, Ivan had no intention of engaging in dialogue with them.

To him now, these guys were nothing more than lambs to the slaughter, not even worth a word from him.

He slowly raised his head, and through the gaps in the mask, the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan shimmered with a crimson light.

His voice was cold and devoid of emotion, slowly echoing across the entire coastline. "Nothing much, it's just that your captain has been spreading rumors that he's looking for me, so I've come in person."

After those words, the Kid Pirates were all puzzled.

Looking for him?

They looked at each other, their minds racing, but they couldn't figure out when their captain had provoked such a terrifying, mysterious being.

Before they could even sort things out, Ivan had already made his move.

Without making any unnecessary movements, he simply walked slowly toward the crowd, yet he exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

That attitude of treating the Kid Pirates as nothing completely ignited the anger of the other pirates.

"You bastard, you're really underestimating me!"

"Do you really think the Kid Pirates are easy to bully?"

"Let's all go at him and kill this masked guy!"

Angry the Roar rose and fell as dozens of members of the Kid Pirates launched a coordinated attack.

None of them possessed Devil Fruit User, but each of them was highly skilled in Taijutsu, and could almost certainly serve as captain in an ordinary pirate crew.

Under Kid's leadership, they have always been domineering and rarely encounter any rivals. Except when facing other Supernova, they will restrain themselves slightly. On this sea, they are almost fearless.

Unfortunately, they encountered Ivan today.

Faced with an absolute gap in strength, these so-called elite pirates are no different from unarmed ordinary people.

Ivan didn't stop, his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

He casually glanced up and met the eyes of one of the pirates charging at the forefront.

Just one glance.

The pirate froze on the spot, his eyes vacant and lifeless, completely swallowed by the Genjutsu.

Ivan walked up to him and cleanly ripped off his head.

Only after his head hit the ground did the pirate suddenly awaken from the Genjutsu, finally realizing, "So, I'm already dead."

This bizarre scene terrified the surrounding pirates.

Before they could react, Amaterasu had already set the crowd ablaze.

Genjutsu and Amaterasu intertwined, transforming into a death scythe that relentlessly reaped within the Kid Pirates.

Both powers were bizarre abilities that the pirates had never heard of before. They could neither understand them nor know how to fight against them, and could only die one after another in fear.

In just a short while, the coastline was littered with corpses and rivers of blood.

Most of the Kid Pirates members have perished, and the few survivors are utterly terrified.

They abandoned their armor and weapons and scattered in all directions, Isshin only thought being to escape this terrifying man.

Just then, one of the pirates suddenly stopped, as if he had just remembered something. "I remember now, didn't the captain say that he was going to cause trouble for the Shadow Garden?!"

"This masked guy in front of me, he could very well be one of the Shadow Garden members!"

These words struck like a thunderbolt among the remaining pirates.

They snapped back to reality in an instant, and the more they thought about it, the more terrified they became.

There are many strong people on this sea, but most of them are already well-known.

The Masked Man before them possessed terrifying strength that could overwhelm the entire Kid Pirates, yet he remained unknown.

Apart from the unfathomable Shadow Garden, no other force could cultivate such a terrifyingly powerful individual.

It turns out that from the very beginning, they had provoked the very thing they shouldn't have provoked.

Hearing their guesses, Ivan suddenly chuckled, no longer concealing his identity. "Hahaha, weak and lowly ants, I am Madara Uchiha of the Shadow Garden!"

Today, I have come specifically to punish you for your petty sins of daring to provoke the Shadow Garden!

Come on, struggle and run away as much as you want, dance for me!

Let me see just how much guts you have to speak so arrogantly to the Shadow Garden!

However, the remaining members of the Kid Pirates were already stunned by the terrifying strength that Ivan had displayed.

In an attempt to survive, they all knelt down, cursing Kid and desperately shifting all blame onto their captain, hoping to gain a sliver of hope.

"It's all Kid's fault, it was all his idea!"

"We have always admired Shadow Garden and have no desire to be your enemy!"

"Spare us, Your Excellency, spare us! We'll never dare to do it again!"

They were obsequious and made a complete fool of themselves.

Even so, Ivan's killing spree did not stop.

His eyes were cold and indifferent, like a precise killing machine, as he slaughtered the remaining members of the Kid Pirates one by one!

Meanwhile, on the distant coast, the crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger.

Initially, there were only Law, Apoo, and Bonney, but as the commotion grew, more and more Supernova were attracted to the area.

Hawkins, Drake, Urouge, Bege —these Supernova were all quietly hiding in the corners, their eyes fixed on the Masked Man in the arena.

Of the eleven Supernova, almost all of them were present, except for Luffy and Zoro, who had not yet arrived.

Everyone was deeply shocked by what they saw, and their hearts were filled with tremendous emotions.

"Is this the true power of Shadow Garden?"

"That was terrifying, those black flames!"

As members of the Worst Generation, they were all arrogant and proud, but after witnessing Madara Uchiha's strength firsthand, they truly understood that there were still too many terrifyingly powerful individuals on this sea.

Just as all the Supernova were shaken to their core, two hurried figures finally came rushing from the direction of the amusement Paradise.

It was Kid and Killer who rushed back upon hearing the news.

When they arrived, what greeted them was a scene that froze their blood.

Corpses littered the ground, blood stained the beach, and the area in front of the Victoria Punk was a scene of utter devastation.

Their crew, meanwhile, were fleeing in disarray, weeping and cursing their captain.

Kid abruptly stopped, frozen in place, his face filled with bewilderment and astonishment.

How could it have turned out like this in just a short while shopping?

Why did his pirate crew and his crew become a living hell?

What exactly happened?

Kid's mind went blank; he couldn't comprehend the scene before him and was completely stunned.

Killer's expression changed drastically, his body tensed instantly, and he looked warily at the figure wearing the Spiral Mask in the arena.
