One Piece: Kaido's adopted son, starts with the Eight Gates Formation.

"He protects each and every one of you," Yhwach said, not complaining, but stating a fact. "He has freed you from the web of fate."

"That's none of your business," the redhead said.

Then he made his move.

Conqueror's Haki erupted from Shanks' body, not the "intimidating" level release he had shown to Kyoraku before, but a Conqueror's Haki truly used in battle, concentrated on the blade.

Griffin's blade was covered with a layer of visible black and red lightning.

"Gods, beware."

The red-haired man slashed out with his sword.

Yhwach's composite eye spun wildly, countless pupils simultaneously capturing the red-haired man's sword strike. He saw everything—the angle of the sword, its speed, its power, the color and density of the will attached to the blade.

He saw it.

But he couldn't escape it.

Because the red-haired man's Conqueror's Haki wasn't just attached to the sword—it covered the entire space. In that instant, all the "will" in this space was suppressed by the red-haired man's Conqueror's Haki.

This includes Yhwach's will to move his body.

His feet were nailed to the spot.

A knife.

Griffin slashed down Yhwach’s left shoulder, piercing half of his chest diagonally.

Black blood gushed from the wound.

Yhwach looked down at his wound, then looked up at the redhead.

"Your 'will' is purer than that dragon's."

His wounds began to heal.

It wasn't a normal healing. Rather, the light emanating from his composite eye "erased" the wound—erasing the cause and effect of the wound's occurrence.

"Rewrite the past?" The redhead's pupils contracted slightly.

"Omniscience and omnipotence not only allow us to see the future," Yhwach's voice was calm, as if the fact that half of his body had just been cleaved in two had never happened, "but also allows us to erase what has already happened."

The redhead gripped the knife tightly.

This ability is disgusting.

In an instant, Shanks understood just how troublesome Yhwach's abilities were.

His knife did indeed strike. The other person was indeed injured. But the wound was "erased"—not healed, but the fact of being "injured" was removed from the timeline.

This means that ordinary physical attacks are almost meaningless to this person.

"You're thinking about how to defeat me," Yhwach said, his tone carrying the composure of a teacher looking at a student. "But the answer is—you can't defeat me. At least not by yourself."

"You talk too much," the redhead said.

He made his move again.

This time it wasn't a single slash, but three consecutive strikes—each strike had a completely different angle, power, and speed, and the way the Conqueror's Haki was applied also varied.

The first horizontal slash was a probe. Yhwach dodged to the side.

The second slash, delivered from below, was the true killing blow. Yhwach parried with his Spirit Sword, but the Conqueror's Haki on the blade once again suppressed his physical reaction, slowing his parry by a mere 0.1 seconds. The blade sliced ​​across his abdomen, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound.

The third cut—

Shanks did not swing his sword a third time.

He turned and took five steps back.

Yhwach's abdominal wound was erased once again.

"You deliberately retreated around the third cut because you realized I could also erase it," Yhwach said. "You started thinking about a way out."

Redhead did not answer him.

He was indeed thinking. But not about how to break through this ability to "erasure," but about something else entirely.

The ball of light that Lynn gave Kaido had the effect of blocking the predictions of "omniscience and omnipotence". There are two reasons why Kaido was able to injure Yhwach and the wound was not erased - first, Kaido's Conqueror's Haki fist "subdued" Yhwach's omniscience and omnipotence on the level of will; second, Lynn's ball of light made Kaido's actions deviate from the causal chain.

And the redhead himself—

He didn't have the orb of light Lynn gave him.

His attack is still within the causal chain. Therefore, Yhwach can trace back to the causal node of "red-haired man swinging his sword" and then erase it.

However, Kaido's punch was not within the causal chain, so it could not be erased.

This is the difference.

"Hawkeye," the redhead whispered.

Hawkeye was already standing next to him.
