Other than Kaido, almost every powerhouse in the Beasts Pirates lunged at Chiyu at the same time—
and it didn't matter in the slightest.
One counterstrike from him, and all those so-called elites were down—most gravely injured, many dead.
That's the kind of absolute pressure a true top-tier fighter puts on the second tier.
In the original story, Kaido flattened Gear Fourth Luffy with a single Raimei Hakke.
Shanks crushed Kid's challenge with one devastating Divine Departure.
Right now, it was the same thing—Chiyu's strength was already at the very peak. Even Yonko first-mate level opponents posed no threat; he could swat them aside effortlessly. They weren't even in the same league.
Before long,
King, Queen, the Flying Six, and the Numbers were all silent, gasping for breath, drowning in despair.
Chiyu didn't let up.
At his signal, the killing continued.
Even with severe injuries, the enemy didn't just give up—they fought back like cornered beasts. But with most of their strength gone, they were crushed quickly.
Then—
shouts erupted from deeper in Onigashima. A new force had arrived.
Chiyu's senses picked them out immediately: members of the Nine Red Scabbards, Oden's old retainers—led by Ashura Doji and Kawamatsu.
Back when Oden was killed, the Scabbards had split up. Four of them—Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Raizo, and Kikunojo—had protected Momonosuke and been sent twenty years into the future by Toki's Devil Fruit, so at this point in time they technically didn't even exist.
Of the others, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi had gone back to Zou, Denjiro had gone undercover as Kyoshiro at Orochi's side, and Ashura Doji and Kawamatsu had been biding their time for another shot at Kaido.
Hearing of Chiyu's invasion, they jumped at the chance to storm Onigashima.
With their help, the Beasts Pirates collapsed even faster—shattered and routed beyond recovery.
The battle raged for a full day and night before it was over.
King fought until the very end, dying on his feet.
Queen tried to unleash his plague bullets, but Zephyr's explosive-rock attack crippled him, and he died seething.
The rest of the Flying Six, the Numbers, and other key fighters were hunted down by Boa Hancock, Trafalgar Law, and the Scabbards until they were either dead or incapacitated.
Chiyu stopped fighting himself—
because if his troops didn't get their own kills, they'd never grow stronger.
If he handled everything alone, they'd never be battle-hardened.
When it was over, Onigashima was wrecked beyond recognition—split apart, sinking slowly into the sea.
Kaido's giant horn emblem was smashed, the land was scarred with chasms—especially the massive abyss left from Chiyu's fight with Kaido—breaking the island into smaller pieces that would vanish beneath the waves in days.
The Beasts Pirates were finished.
Ashura Doji and Kawamatsu hurried over to thank Chiyu—
but he didn't feel a shred of goodwill toward them.
Kozuki Oden, in his eyes, had been a fool, and these loyalists were fools among fools.
Which was exactly why he wasn't about to let them take the spoils.
"Thank you, Chiyu-sama!" Ashura Doji said. "Kaido took Wano and killed Oden-sama. We've wanted revenge for twenty years but were too weak to do it. Today you destroyed Kaido and his crew, saving Wano. We'll never forget it!"
Chiyu said flatly, "Don't get it twisted. I killed Kaido because he deserved it. This has nothing to do with Oden—or Wano."
The two exchanged a look.
"Regardless, you're Wano's savior. Please accept our bow!"
They dropped to their knees—
but Chiyu didn't move.
"You two don't speak for Wano."
Ashura Doji froze. "What do you mean, Chiyu-sama?"
"You know exactly what I mean."
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
"Are you saying… you mean to take Wano for yourself?"
Before Chiyu could answer, Zephyr snapped,
"What the hell kind of question is that?
We kill Kaido, crush the Beasts Pirates, and Wano isn't ours—but yours? You think we bled for this just to hand it to you?!"
Kawamatsu tried, "But Wano was Oden-sama's—"
Law cut in, "Then why didn't you take it back yourselves?"
"This…"
Hancock scoffed, "You couldn't do it, and now you want to steal our win?!"
Chiyu said, "And Wano's not even free yet. Orochi's still the shogun. The battle's not over, and you're already dividing the loot."
Kawamatsu bowed his head. "After Oden's death, Wano fell to Kaido and Orochi. The Scabbards split, and we accomplished nothing. We're ashamed… You're right—we have no claim. But please, let us avenge Oden-sama ourselves. Kaido's gone, but Orochi lives!"
Chiyu didn't mind granting that.
In the following days, Ashura Doji and Kawamatsu rallied every ally they could—Nekomamushi and Inuarashi from Zou, Denjiro from Orochi's side—and launched an all-out assault on the shogun.
The Undying Legion, after claiming all of Onigashima's treasure, supplies, and weapons, joined in. Chiyu wasn't about to let the war's ending play out like the "original" history.
The fighting lasted half a month.
In the end, Orochi died at the hands of Denjiro and the courtesan Komurasaki—revealed to be Hiyori, Oden's daughter. The Kurozumi clan's power crumbled overnight.
Because Wano was closed off, the world never heard of it.
Afterward, Chiyu—by sheer strength and dominance—became Wano's ruler.
Having killed Kaido and destroyed his crew, even the Scabbards pledged loyalty. Wano became the Undying Legion's new base.
His other territories—Dressrosa, Punk Hazard, Raijin Island and its neighbors, and more—now all belonged to him, forming a vast, united kingdom.
Unlike Kaido, he shut down the SMILE factories, restoring Wano's skies, land, and water. The people, once starving and desperate, now called him a savior.
Though he disliked the Scabbards, he let them keep their domains. Nekomamushi and Inuarashi returned to Zou as allies—both strong enough to match Jack in battle. Ashura Doji had even overpowered Jack before.
Kozuki Sukiyaki—Oden's father—was still alive, disguised as Tenguyama Hitetsu. Meeting Chiyu with the girl Tama, he admitted his shame, entrusted Wano's future to Chiyu, and gave him the cursed sword Nidai Kitetsu.
Reuniting with Hiyori, he and Tama chose to live quietly. Hiyori gave Chiyu Enma as payment for avenging her father. Shusui, as Wano's "national treasure," stayed with Chiyu—now the king.
In the end, every famed blade of Wano except Ame no Habakiri (still with Momonosuke in the time rift) ended up in his hands: Shusui, Nidai Kitetsu, and Enma.
Sukiyaki also revealed another secret: Pluton, the Ancient Weapon, had always been hidden in Wano.
Chiyu already knew Franky had the blueprints, so he entrusted the damaged but genuine Pluton to him. Franky was ecstatic—able to match it against his blueprints and War God ship for deeper mastery, bringing him that much closer to fully restoring it.
In time, Wano thrived again—factories gone, skies clear, water pure, farms and markets alive.
Chiyu finally declared to the world:
Wano… would open its borders!
The news exploded worldwide—Chiyu had killed Kaido, seized Wano, and taken all his territory.
One of the Four Emperors was dead.
With Whitebeard gone and Kaido now too, the old order was broken.
Many believed the new era would be defined by one name:
Uchiha Chiyu.
He had the power to replace a Yonko and challenge the entire world.
Though not a pirate, the world was already calling him one of the "New Four Emperors"—and the first among them.
…
At New Marineford, Fleet Admiral Sakazuki (Akainu) stared at the incoming reports—shocked and furious.
"Uchiha Chiyu… has he really become this dangerous?!"
"Even Kaido lost to him!"
"If we let him keep going, he'll turn the world upside down!"
So far, the new fleet admiral had no answer to Chiyu.
Turning to the new Admirals—Kizaru, Fujitora, and Ryokugyu—Sakazuki's voice was like thunder:
"What should the Navy do about Uchiha Chiyu?!
Answer me!!!"
