Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece.

The eight heads of the black charcoal serpent simultaneously emitted a piercing laugh.

"Your eyes changed color?! Hahahaha! You think you can defeat me just by changing your color?! I am Yamata no Orochi! A monster from mythology! Someone even Kaido wouldn't dare to underestimate!"

The eight snake heads opened their mouths simultaneously, and black energy condensed in each mouth.

"Eight Serpents - Dark Devouring Cannon!"

Eight black beams of light shot out from the eight snake mouths, each powerful enough to destroy a building. The eight beams intertwined, forming a massive, destructive network that enveloped Bai Yu and everyone behind him.

That was an attack powerful enough to level the entire room.

Artoria stepped forward, raising the holy sword in her hand, and golden light began to gather.

But she didn't make a move.

Because a hand blocked her way.

Bai Yu's hand.

"I come."

Bai Yu's voice was calm, so calm that it didn't sound like he was facing a mythical monster.

His Mangekyou Sharingan spun rapidly, and a powerful, visible surge of chakra erupted from his body, forming a semi-transparent skeleton around him.

Then comes the muscle.

Then there's the skin.

Then came the armor.

Susanoo.

A huge, translucent black giant rose from Bai Yu's body, piercing through the castle's ceiling, and rubble and debris rained down.

But the attacks from those black charcoal serpents struck Susanoo without leaving a single mark.

The eight heads of the black charcoal serpent simultaneously stopped attacking, and the sixteen eyes on the eight heads widened in surprise.

"What...what is this...?"

His voice was no longer arrogant; it was filled with a genuine, pure fear of the unknown.

A black giant stood up under the night sky of the Flower Capital, taller than Orochi's castle.

Everyone in the entire Flower Capital witnessed this scene.

People on the street looked up at the semi-transparent black giant. Some knelt down, some turned and ran, and some stood there with their mouths agape, unable to make a sound.

"What is that...?"

"Ghost... ghost..."

"No...that's...that's a god..."

Bai Yu stood inside Susanoo, looking down at the eight-headed monster below.

Kurozumi Orochi's Yamata no Orochi seemed rather small compared to Susanoo.

Do you know what true despair is?

Bai Yu's voice came from within Susanoo. It wasn't loud, but every word clearly reached Kurozumi Orochi's ears.

Kurozumi Orochi wanted to escape, but his body wouldn't obey him.

It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but that fear had completely stiffened his muscles.

Those scarlet eyes looked at him through Susanoo as if he were an ant.

Bai Yu stretched out a hand.

Susanoo then extended its enormous black arm, its five fingers outstretched, and reached out to grab at the Kurozumi Orochi.

The giant black serpent finally moved, its eight heads frantically tearing at the outstretched black arm.

However, the teeth bit into Susanoo's armor, producing a harsh grinding sound, but without causing any damage.

Several of the snake's teeth were broken, and blood gushed from its mouth. The black charcoal snake let out a shrill scream.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

A giant blue hand grabbed the black charcoal serpent's body and lifted him from the ruins of the castle.

The eight snake heads were still struggling, biting, and twisting frantically, but the grip of that giant black hand was too strong for him to break free from.

"Let me go! Let me go! Do you know who I am?! I am Kurozumi Orochi! I am the Shogun of Wano Country! Kaido will not let you go! He will definitely kill you! He will kill all of you!"

Bai Yu looked at the struggling monster in his hand, his expression unchanged.

His other hand was also extended.

Susanoo's other hand grasped the other snake heads of Kurozumi Orochi.

Then, Bai Yu began to exert force.

The giant black serpent felt the power emanating from the massive black hand, a power it could not withstand. Its scales began to crack, its bones creaked under the strain, and blood seeped from the gaps in its scales.

"no, do not want……"

His voice was no longer a threat, no longer angry, but a pure, undignified plea.

"Please...don't kill me...I'll give you anything...wealth...women...power...I'll give you whatever you want..."

Bai Yu looked at him, her eyes as calm as a stagnant pool.

"What I want, you can't give me."

The giant blue hand tightened again.

The black charcoal serpent let out a shrill scream.

The scream echoed throughout the entire Flower Capital, reaching the ears of everyone.

The black giant hand of Susanoo tightened once more.

The eight heads of the black charcoal serpent simultaneously let out a scream, a distorted and piercing sound, like eight people wailing in different tones at the same time.

His scales began to crack under the immense pressure, peeling off piece by piece from his body, splattering blood onto the ground.

"No...no...please..."

His pleas had lost all dignity; tears welled in the eyes of all eight snake heads, and snot and saliva mingled and flowed from their hideous mouths.

Bai Yu looked at him, her expression unchanged.

He had seen far too many enemies—those stronger, more insane, and more arrogant than Kurozumi Orochi. And all of them, without exception, wore the same expression when facing death.

fear.

Pleading.

Then came despair.

"You said it took you so many years to climb to where you are today."

Bai Yu's voice was calm, as if he were stating a fact that had nothing to do with himself.

"You said you crawled on your knees, licked other people's shoes, and begged for mercy like a dog."

The giant hand of Susanoo loosened slightly, and Kurozumi Orochi thought that his pleas had worked, and all eight of his snake heads showed expressions of hope at the same time.

"Yes, yes... I know I was wrong... I'll never do it again... Please, please forgive me..."

But Bai Yu shook his head.

I'm not trying to pity you.

His voice turned cold.

"I'm telling you that the hardships you've endured are not a reason for you to torment others today."

Susanoo's giant hand tightened again, and this time, Shiraha showed no mercy.

One of the black charcoal serpent's heads made a cracking sound as if bones were breaking, and the eyes of that head suddenly bulged out and then exploded.

Blood and bits of flesh exploded in the air like fireworks, and the remaining seven heads of the black charcoal serpent simultaneously let out even more shrill screams.

"The first one."

Bai Yu's voice sounded like the pronouncement of death.

Susanoo grabbed another snake head with its other hand and yanked it hard.

The snake's head, along with its long neck, was torn entirely from the body of the black serpent. Blood gushed from the severed wound, like a tap being turned on, staining the ground a dark red.

"The second one."

The screams of the black charcoal serpent had become neither human nor snake-like, but a chilling howl somewhere in between.

"No...no...please...don't..."

Bai Yu ignored it.

Susanoo's giant hand continued its movement, grabbing the third snake head.

This time, Bai Yu didn't crush or tear it directly. Instead, he slowly held the snake head in his palm and applied pressure little by little.

Orochi could clearly feel his skull cracking bit by bit; the slow, irreversible process of death was more terrifying than being killed outright.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

The third snake head was crushed like an egg in Bai Yu's hand.

Then comes the fourth one.

the fifth.

sixth.

Each snakehead dies in a different way.

Some were crushed, some were torn off, and some were smashed flat by Susanoo's fist.

From his initial frantic struggles to his desperate pleas, Orochi eventually lost even the strength to beg.

Only two snake heads remained, barely holding on, but their eyes had lost all light, filled only with empty, pure fear.

Bai Yu looked at him and finally stopped.
