One Piece: Rinnegan Is My Golden Finger.

Hiyori was witnessing such a massacre for the first time. The thick stench of blood hit her like a wall, and her face turned pale. She quickly kicked off her specially made wooden clogs and bent over, retching violently.

Once the clogs were off, her height dropped to around 1.70 meters, making her appear noticeably shorter.

Compared to Hiyori, Kalifa handled the scene much better. She instinctively moved to push up her glasses, only to realize she wasn't wearing them today. Her hand paused at the bridge of her nose, and she let out a soft, confused "Huh?", unintentionally amusing Chiga.

Hiyori slowly straightened up, glancing fearfully at Chiga before turning her head away. The thought of trying to recruit him completely vanished from her mind—the carnage she had just witnessed was far too terrifying.

Kalifa glanced around. Apart from the three of them, not a single soul remained alive. She turned to Chiga and asked,

"Boss, where to now? Onigashima?"

Hiyori, hearing the name, was startled. Gathering her courage, she asked,

"You're going to Onigashima? That's Kaido's stronghold! Don't you know who Kaido is?"

Chiga didn't even bother looking at her as he replied flatly,

"I know. It's just a Yonko crew. Nothing to worry about."

Just a Yonko crew...

Hiyori felt like her brain had short-circuited. The Yonko were among the strongest forces in the world. How could this man talk about them like they were nothing?

She couldn't help but ask,

"May I know who you are?"

Chiga remained silent, clearly having no interest in entertaining her. He already had no goodwill towards Hiyori, so why waste his breath?

Kalifa, however, glanced at Chiga proudly and replied,

"My boss is a Marine Vice Admiral—code-named Purple Kirin!"

Chiga gave Kalifa a helpless look and said,

"Alright, but my name doesn't matter in Wano. Let's focus on the task."

Suddenly, Chiga stretched out his hand in the direction Orochi had been flung. He muttered,

"Before we move on, there's still some trash left. Universal Pull."

Buzz! Countless chunks of rubble were pulled toward him by gravity, among them a massive figure—Kurozumi Orochi.

Both Kalifa and Hiyori were stunned. How had that man survived?

Thwack! Chiga grabbed Orochi by the neck. Orochi stared at him in disbelief, unsure how he'd been found out.

Knowing his bluff wouldn't work, Orochi still tried to cling to his last hope—Kaido.

"You can't kill me! If you do, Kaido won't spare you! I'm the Shogun of Wano!"

"Oh? So you're one of Kaido's men? Then you definitely deserve to die."

Chiga's hand crackled with dazzling purple lightning that surged through Orochi's body. Orochi screamed as his eyes rolled back.

But Chiga didn't release him. He knew Orochi had eaten the Hebi Hebi no Mi—a Mythical Zoan that granted eight lives.

As expected, after a brief pause, Orochi revived again. His eyes widened in terror.

He knows about my Devil Fruit power!?

Before Orochi could act, Chiga's hand once again flared with lightning. In a panic, Orochi broke free and leapt away, transforming into a monstrous form with eight serpentine heads.

Of course, Chiga had allowed it. He was curious to observe the fruit's full transformation. Otherwise, Orochi could never have escaped.

Now in his beast form, Orochi's skin turned green, his eight long snake necks writhing—one of them noticeably darker than the others.

Chiga frowned. "Disgusting," he muttered. "Not worth absorbing."

He raised an arm, fully elementalized with lightning. Then—Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!—five purple bolts rained down on Orochi, each strike severing a head.

Only the central, dark-colored head remained.

Chiga used Universal Pull again. Orochi was dragged toward him, but before the snake could utter another word, Chiga unleashed the Rinnegan's Human Path and Preta Path. In an instant, Orochi's soul and Devil Fruit power were ripped from his body.

It was over. Kurozumi Orochi, Shogun of Wano, was dead—his mutilated body tossed aside like garbage.

In Chiga's hand now rested a purple, pineapple-shaped Devil Fruit—the Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model. A Mythical Zoan that granted incredible physical endurance and seven extra lives.

He tossed it once in his palm, then glanced at Kalifa.

Kalifa understood the look in his eyes but immediately shook her head. The thought of turning into an eight-headed serpent was revolting.

Chiga wasn't surprised. Truthfully, he didn't want his beautiful secretary turning into a grotesque beast either.

Still, there was a Mythical Zoan that would suit her perfectly—and he knew where to find it. After Onigashima, he'd make it his next target.

He stored the Hebi Hebi Fruit into his Door-Door Space, then turned to the still-stunned Hiyori and asked,

"Hey, do you know the way to Oden Castle?"

At the name "Oden," Hiyori visibly trembled. That place was soaked in tragedy for her. She hesitated.

"I know... but why do you want to go there?"

Chiga rolled his purple Rinnegan eye. To kill your worthless brother, obviously. What else?

But he didn't say that. Hiyori hadn't done anything deserving of cruelty.

So he simply said coldly,

"Don't ask questions. Just give me the location. I don't repeat myself."

His tone sent shivers down her spine. She dared not hesitate and immediately told him. The castle was in ruins anyway.

Having gotten what he needed, Chiga ignored her and grabbed Kalifa by the wrist. With a flash, they disappeared from the spot.
