Near the execution ground in the Flower Capital.
Luo Chen waved his hand, scattering many streaks of green energy.
Carina, Kozuki Hiyori, Toko, and others who had fainted due to the shockwaves of the previous battle slowly regained consciousness. Nearby injured civilians were also instantly healed.
"I should fix the terrain as well."
Looking at the shattered earth and the several deep pits around him, Luo Chen once again activated the power of Yin-Yang Release.
The broken ground seemed to experience time in reverse, restoring itself to a smooth state. The deep pits were filled by earth that appeared out of thin air. Numerous collapsed houses were reconstructed in an instant.
In a short time, the dilapidated Flower Capital around the execution ground was completely refreshed, returning to its former prosperity.
Hiyori, Carina, Usopp, and the others watched this scene, long since rendered numb. They simply could not comprehend the extent of Luo Chen's strength and abilities.
After finishing all this, Luo Chen nodded to Luffy's group and flew into the sky to depart. He intended to head to Onigashima to take a look.
Once Luo Chen had left, Kozuki Hiyori turned her gaze toward the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Are you all friends of my brother, Momonosuke?"
Luffy, Zoro, and the others nodded silently. They looked at the ground around them; there was no trace left of the bodies of Momonosuke and Kin'emon. They had been reduced to ashes during the previous battle.
"Lady Hiyori, please allow me to host them," Shimotsuki Yasuie said, forcing a smile.
Kozuki Hiyori agreed. Taking a deep breath, she said, "Kaido, his pirates, and Kurozumi Orochi are all dead. We must release the imprisoned citizens of Wano Country as soon as possible. Only with their help can we restore order to Wano Country quickly."
After saying this, Hiyori bid everyone farewell and returned toward the brothel. She wanted to go back and wait for Luo Chen. Since she had agreed to let Luo Chen take charge of Wano Country, she naturally would not go back on her word. Nor did she dare to.
Furthermore, Wano Country was currently in a state of isolation. Re-establishing contact with the outside world would require the assistance of the Jinghai Army. Relying solely on her strength and the scattered Kozuki family vassals would likely be insufficient.

Onigashima was the stronghold for pirates like Kaido and Charlotte Linlin.
Not long ago, after informants discovered Luo Chen in the Flower Capital, the two Four Emperors had summoned all the pirates under their command to hunt him down. Now, Onigashima's defenses were hollow, with fewer than a hundred fixed guards remaining.
Luo Chen stood in the air above Onigashima, spreading his Observation Haki. He first looked toward the majestic castle in the center of the island and reached out his hand to grasp the air.
Several floors of the castle were ripped upward by gravity. Furniture, rubble, and several terrified pirates floated in mid-air, unable to understand what was happening. Subsequently, a figure screaming repeatedly was pulled toward Luo Chen through the air.
"Who is it?! Stop! Stop pulling me!"
A black-haired man with a pair of sheep horns on his head shouted as his body flew uncontrollably toward Luo Chen. His lower half was in a gaseous state, and his body was surrounded by a mist of white vapor. His face was extremely pale, yet he wore purple eye makeup and lipstick.
Luo Chen recognized him at a glance—it was Caesar. He was a former colleague of Vegapunk and the scientist who helped Kaido and Doflamingo develop SMILEs.
Luo Chen imprisoned Caesar in the void before him, looking at him expressionlessly.
"You—you're Luo Chen?!" Caesar recognized him and screamed in shock.
"I remember that you seem to be quite restless," Luo Chen's eyes flickered.
Caesar was a character who was difficult to control, the type who was naturally malicious. The safest way was to kill him directly and use Impure World Reincarnation to control him. Moreover, after the Impure World Reincarnation, Caesar would not need to sleep and would have infinite physical strength, becoming the heaven-sent worker for researching SMILEs.
Luo Chen narrowed his eyes, infusing Armament Haki into the gravitational force.
Caesar looked down and saw that the mysterious force binding him like transparent ropes had turned pitch black. Furthermore, it was the Armament Haki that he was very familiar with and deeply feared.
"Wait a minute! What are you doing? Wait—"
Caesar sensed the danger and immediately tried to stop him, but before he could finish his sentence, he let out a shrill scream. His entire body was sliced into several pieces by the Armament Haki gravity.
Using the power of Yin-Yang Release, Luo Chen created an iron box to hold Caesar's physical remains. In the future, this would be the raw material for the Impure World Reincarnation.
As he was sealing the iron box, a clear shout came from the ground below.
"Hey! Who are you?!"
Luo Chen placed the iron box containing Caesar's body into the Kamui dimension and looked down.
On the ground stood a tall figure wearing a Hannya mask. There were two blood-red demon horns on the head. The figure wore a white kimono with a red robe on the lower half, wooden clogs on the feet, and held a pitch-black mace.
"Yamato?" Luo Chen asked.
The figure behind the mask was clearly stunned, asking in surprise, "You know me?"
Luo Chen did not explain much. Instead, he took a corpse out of the Kamui dimension.
Yamato's eyes behind the mask widened instantly. That corpse was Kaido. His eyes were tightly closed, his massive body devoid of any life aura, with a puncture wound at the temple.
"You... killed Kaido?" Yamato asked in disbelief.
Luo Chen descended to the ground, landing not far from her.
"Yes. But you don't need to be sad; he'll be back to life soon."
As Luo Chen spoke, he threw a punch, opening a spatial portal leading directly to Totto Land.
"Send me a living pirate with a bounty over five hundred million."
His voice traveled down through the spatial portal.
In the process of the Jinghai Army conquering the Four Seas and the Grand Line, they had both killed and captured pirates. Weak pirates were executed immediately, while those with bounties over a hundred million were imprisoned within Totto Land to be used for Impure World Reincarnation.
By now, Totto Land had dedicated an entire island to serve as a prison for these captives. Roger, who only wanted to enjoy a quiet retirement, had volunteered to serve as the warden and watch over the prisoners.
He was currently playing cards with his old friends Rayleigh and Gaban on the prison island. Hearing Luo Chen's voice, he immediately stood up, went into the prison to grab a pirate who met the criteria, and tossed him into the spatial portal above.
On Onigashima, a male pirate wearing Sea Stone handcuffs fell from the spatial portal and crashed onto the ground.
Luo Chen drew the long sword "Muming" from his waist, eyeing Kaido's corpse and wondering where to start.
In front of him, Yamato was a bit dazed by the scene. Who exactly was this young man? He was holding Kaido's corpse, punched a hole through space, and an unknown person fell out of it...
All these strange phenomena made Yamato's head spin. But she was clear on one thing. She glanced at Kaido's corpse and said, "Whether that old geezer is dead or not has nothing to do with me."
"It's impossible for me to be sad."
She suspected the man before her knew of her father-daughter relationship with Kaido. But in reality, she loathed Kaido's shameless and evil actions in persecuting Kozuki Oden. She had already spontaneously severed her relationship with Kaido.
In fact, if not for the restriction of the explosive handcuffs on her wrists, Yamato would have certainly left Onigashima long ago to find a way to gather the Kozuki family vassals, overthrow Kaido's rule, and liberate Wano Country.
