Standing over three meters tall, Shiryu gripped his bloodstained famed blade, Raiu.
His face twisted with bloodlust—and a hint of mockery.
To him, Vir was nothing more than a sparrow trapped in his cage.
What he savored was the image of that sparrow desperately fleeing, only to splatter blood under his blade.
A freshly lit cigar dangled from his lips as he strode forward, step by step.
With each movement, the killing intent radiating from him grew heavier, the crimson glow in his eyes intensifying!
The prisoners around them were riled up by the scene.
Crocodile watched with amusement.
Even the most notorious convicts showed interest.
Even Bullet, standing behind Vir, curled his lips into a faint smirk.
They all knew Shiryu’s strength.
His murderous tendencies had already claimed many lives in Level 6.
Though not the strongest among them, he was undoubtedly near the top.
At the very least, he possessed the power of an Admiral candidate.
Whether this kid’s 1.9 billion bounty was real or not—this fight would prove it.
Vir stood motionless in front of Bullet’s cell.
His lack of action was naturally interpreted as hesitation—or perhaps sheer terror.
This brat had already killed so many since entering.
It was time for him to pay for his arrogance.
But in truth, Vir wasn’t frozen in fear.
He simply stood there, calm and composed, watching as Shiryu closed in, his murderous aura swelling to its peak.
"This kid’s done for! Shiryu’s no pushover!"
"One slash, two halves!"
Amid the shouts, Shiryu reappeared instantly in front of Vir.
His speed was monstrous!
His long blade, coated in crimson Armament Haki, slashed diagonally at Vir!
The terrifying force seemed to freeze the air itself!
Vir still didn’t move.
Shiryu’s face twisted into a sneer.
Can’t even react to a single strike.
But just as his crimson blade was about to bisect Vir—
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
He never showed mercy to those who sought his death.
With a thought, a pale blue longsword materialized in his right hand.
Shiryu’s eyes widened slightly.
Before he could process it, the blade blurred, intercepting Raiu mid-swing.
With that scrawny frame?!
Sneering, Shiryu poured even more strength into his slash—fully intending to cut Vir in half.
But the moment their blades clashed—
Shiryu’s pupils shrank.
An unstoppable force erupted from the impact!
Even with all his might, he couldn’t stop Raiu from being knocked upward!
—and his sword was deflected effortlessly!
How?! What kind of monstrous strength is this?!
True to its name! When activated, your next attack has a high chance of deflecting the enemy’s weapon and a small chance of briefly staggering them.
Before Shiryu could recover—
A purple lightning kanabo had already appeared in Vir’s left hand, swinging straight for his head!
Shiryu’s instincts screamed—but Vir’s speed was inhuman!
Panicking, he raised his left arm, hardening it with Armament Haki.
This should be enough.
At the same time, he angled Raiu for a counter-slash, hoping to force Vir to abort his attack.
But when the club connected with his arm, Shiryu’s confidence shattered...
A blinding flash of lightning erupted as the club smashed into Shiryu’s guard.
His left arm folded instantly, slamming into his own skull with catastrophic force!
Bones shattered. His temple caved in.
The power behind the blow was unfathomable!
Triple damage! Lightning charge! Thunder Bagua amplification!
Even Akainu, the most durable Admiral, would howl in pain from this.
In that split second before he was sent flying, Shiryu’s mind could only conjure one thought:
The impact alone knocked him unconscious—his skull unprotected by Haki.
That brief blackout was game over!
Purple lightning scorched through his body, ravaging every cell.
His eyes rolled back as he was catapulted across the prison.
A lightning-fast slash followed!
Before Shiryu could regain consciousness—
The slash pierced his heart effortlessly!
The sheer force shattered the bars of a nearby cell as his body crashed through!
And just before he could slam into the wall—
The lightning club pressed against his forehead detonated.
A devastating explosion erased every prisoner in the adjacent cell.
Shiryu’s corpse was blasted into yet another cell—now nothing more than a lifeless husk.
The slash embedded in his chest exploded.
Countless purple slashes shredded his remains into a rain of gore!
Blood painted the entire cell crimson.
The prisoners inside didn’t stand a chance—annihilated by the residual slashes.
*Plop, plop, plop...*
Chunks of flesh rained onto the floor.
The cell had become a slaughterhouse.
And when the last piece of meat fell—
Raiu clattered onto the cold stone.
Not a single breath could be heard in all of Level 6.
Every prisoner was pressed against their bars, eyes bulging in horror.
Their faces said it all.
What... just happened?
Only needed three moves.
To turn Shiryu of the Rain into... mincemeat?!
Shiryu was at least Admiral candidate level.
Crushed him like it was nothing.
Just how strong is he?!
That last attack was Admiral-tier firepower!
His speed was unreal.
His strength? Beyond monstrous.
Shiryu’s full-powered slash—deflected with a casual parry!
What kind of freakish power is this?!
