The Strongest Lunarian in One Piece

Three days later…

The massive aerial fortress, Atlantis, effortlessly passed over Wano Country's natural, wall-like barriers, descending into its territory and arriving directly outside the Flower Capital. The sudden appearance of such an enormous war machine caused widespread panic.

Upon receiving the report, Kouzuki Sukiyaki, the Shogun of Wano, hastily assembled no fewer than 3,000 samurai and retainers. Tense and on high alert, they prepared for battle.

"Rumble… Rumble…"

The colossal Atlantis descended with a thunderous impact.

Over 10,000 heavily armed Totto Land soldiers and 30,000 mechanized Lizard Homies marched out in perfect formation, a unified force of overwhelming might. Leading them were the Wano samurai who had already joined the Fallen Angel Pirates, including Shimotsuki Kouzaburou and Shimotsuki Ushimaru.

"Whoosh—"

Countless angelic soldiers took flight, their dark wings blotting out the sky and casting a chilling shadow over the Flower Capital.

The oppressive sight made the samurais' scalps tingle with fear.

"You… you are Shimotsuki Kouzaburou?"

"And the heir of the Shimotsuki clan of Ringo, Shimotsuki Ushimaru?"

"What is the meaning of this? You've brought such a massive army into Wano—are you committing treason?"

The 3,000 samurai assembled outside the Flower Capital stared wide-eyed at the overwhelming force before them. Recognizing Kouzaburou and Ushimaru at the helm, their expressions turned grim.

"Though we are no longer citizens of Wano, we can no longer bear to watch its people suffer in such despair," Kouzaburou said coldly, his voice steady yet filled with killing intent.

Wielding Wado Ichimonji, his sharp gaze swept over the samurai.

"Shogun Kouzuki Sukiyaki's reign has been marked by decadence, cruelty, and oppressive taxation. The people starve while the Shogun's treasury overflows with gold. We, the Totto Land Kingdom, are here to liberate this nation!"

"I advise you to abandon the darkness, lay down your weapons, and surrender."

"How dare you!"

"Blasphemy!"

"To rebel against your ruler!"

"Shameless traitors! You've brought foreigners to invade our land and dare claim it's for our salvation?"

"You disgrace the title of samurai!"

Enraged by Kouzaburou's words, the samurai turned crimson with fury, glaring at him with righteous indignation.

"Enough talk… Attack!"

Kouzaburou closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them with unwavering resolve. His voice was calm yet chillingly decisive:

"All who resist—kill them without mercy!"

Kouzaburou understood that only overwhelming force and swift action could rid Wano of all defiant elements. If resistance lingered, the country would sink into endless civil war, and the starving, oppressed citizens would suffer even more.

"Kill!"

"Drive out the invaders!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fire!"

"Bang! Bang!"

"Boom! Boom!"

The samurai roared and charged fearlessly, swords drawn. However, the disciplined Totto Land soldiers were prepared. Cannons rolled into position, rows of troops raised their guns, and calmly took aim at the charging warriors.

With a single order, the battlefield erupted.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Boom! Boom!"

"Ahhh!"

A hailstorm of bullets rained down, and artillery shells exploded in swift succession, tearing through the samurai's ranks. The ground shook with each blast, screams echoing as the once-defiant warriors fell one by one. The overwhelming firepower of Totto Land's modern army left no room for resistance.

The samurai screamed as they fell into pools of blood. Yet some skilled, fierce warriors still charged forward with their blades. Shimotsuki Kouzaburou, Shimotsuki Ushimaru, and their allies met the attackers head-on.

Soon, tens of thousands of Lizard Homies advanced, along with the Ten-Thousand Angel Army, surging forward in a coordinated attack.

From Atlantis, strange, shadowy figures descended, ghost-like in their movements. These phantoms slipped into the warriors' bodies, harvesting the still-warm souls of the fallen. Meanwhile, large numbers of Angel Homies flew directly into the Shogunate Mansion, occupying it.

It was a one-sided massacre—there was no suspense, no meaningful resistance. Before long, every defiant samurai had been completely wiped out.

"Run!!"

"Everyone, run for your lives!"

"The invaders have entered the city!"

"Don't block me—I need to escape the city!"

"The samurai have already been killed…"

"No use! The city gates are already controlled by the enemy!"

The Flower Capital descended into chaos.

Countless citizens, wealthy merchants, and nobles scrambled to gather their valuables, shoving and pushing as they desperately tried to flee. Some rogue samurai attempted to storm the Shogunate Mansion to loot its treasures but were immediately shot down by the Angel Homies guarding the area.

In his final act, Shogun Kouzuki Sukiyaki poisoned himself, attempting to set the Shogunate Mansion on fire. However, the Angel Army prevented him from succeeding.

With every gate under enemy control, large groups of citizens were left trapped, terrified, and trembling.

"ROAR——"

Above the sky, thunder and lightning erupted. A massive, winged creature blotted out the sun, soaring ominously over the Flower Capital. Its overwhelming presence forced every citizen to look upward in terror.

"What is that…?"

"Gulp… Is that a monster?"

"Is it a demon?"

They stared, eyes wide and mouths agape, faces pale and drenched in cold sweat.

"Whoosh—"

Under their shocked gazes, the massive creature suddenly shrank and transformed into a tall, majestic figure with outstretched wings, hovering high above. He looked down on the entire city, like a god descending from the heavens.

"People of Wano, do not panic and do not flee!"

A deep, commanding voice echoed through the air, resonating with authority and undeniable power, sweeping across the entire city.

"We have not come to harm you—we are here to save you."

"The tyrant Kouzuki Sukiyaki has poisoned himself and died."

"From this day forward, the oppressive rule of the Kouzuki Clan has ended. We will bring this country new hope…"

Spreading his arms wide, Fallen Angel El stood in the sky. A beam of radiant sunlight broke through the clouds, illuminating him in a holy glow, as though blessed by the heavens themselves.

Looking down upon the Flower Capital, his voice echoed with divine authority:

"I, Kukulkan El, King of the Totto Land Kingdom, have been sent by the heavens as your Sun God to save you!"

"The Totto Land Kingdom promises this: we will not plunder even a single possession from the people of this country. We will abolish all unjust taxes, including annual tributes, forced labor, and ransom taxes. Every grain you grow will belong to you. From today onward, no one in this country will go hungry."

"Soon, each of you may bring your household registration papers to the Shogunate Mansion and line up to receive food rations! Each family will be given provisions according to the number of people in their household!"

"What!?"

"Is… is that true?"
