Chapter 60 - chapter 59

Screen 1 — Yasuie's Execution

The broadcast snail crackles to life across Wano.

Yasuie stands bound, smiling calmly as if he's already accepted his fate.

Orochi laughs from above, turning the execution into a spectacle.

The moment the truth hits — that Yasuie was once a daimyo — the crowd freezes.

Udon Prison — Same Time

Luffy stops mid-fight.

His fists tremble.

Luffy:

"…They're laughing."

Ben sees it too.

Not just the execution — the cruelty behind it.

Ben's jaw tightens.

Ben:

"This isn't justice. This is fear control."

Queen's men rush in, trying to suppress the prisoners after the broadcast.

Ben steps forward, eyes sharp.

Ben:

"They use executions to break hope."

He cracks his knuckles, anger fully controlled.

Ben:

"Then we do the opposite."

Luffy explodes into motion, smashing through guards.

Ben follows, efficient and brutal — disabling Queen's men one by one, no wasted movement.

Ben doesn't shout.

He doesn't rage.

That's what scares the guards.

Ben (low voice):

"They killed a man to scare a country."

He looks at the prisoners.

Ben:

"So we make sure it fails."

Hyou watches them fight, eyes wide.

Hyou (quiet):

"Yasuie-dono… your death lit the fire."

As the guards fall, the prisoners begin to rise.

Yasuie's smile echoes in their minds.

And for the first time in years, Wano's fear starts to crack.

Screen 2 — Big Mom Arrives at Udon

The ground shakes.

Chains rattle.

Prison walls groan like they're about to collapse.

Then it hits.

A voice — childish, furious, and enormous.

Big Mom:

"RED BEAN SOUPPP!!"

Udon freezes.

Even Queen goes silent.

Ben feels it before he sees her.

His chest tightens.

His breathing slows — not from fear, but from memory.

Whole Cake Island.

The hunger rage.

The chase.

The screams.

The sky burning.

For a split second, Ben's vision flickers.

Ben (under his breath):

"…Not her."

Big Mom crashes through the prison gates like a natural disaster, eyes empty, hair wild, body moving on pure instinct.

Ben's hand twitches toward the Omnitrix — then stops.

He remembers.

No aliens.

No brute force.

Not here.

Ben steadies himself, forcing the panic down.

Ben:

"This isn't a Yonko… it's a disaster wearing a face."

Luffy stares, shocked.

Luffy:

"She's here too?!"

Ben grips the chains on his wrists, metal bending.

Ben (grim):

"If she remembers us… Udon won't exist in five minutes."

Big Mom sniffs the air, smashing guards aside like toys.

Big Mom:

"SOUP… WHERE'S MY SOUP?!"

Prisoners scream.

Beasts flee.

Ben's voice drops to a cold, urgent tone.

Ben:

"Luffy. No fighting her. Not now. Not like this."

Hyou looks between them, realizing the truth.

Hyou:

"She's not human rage… she's hunger incarnate."

Ben's eyes never leave Big Mom.

Ben (quiet, honest):

"She's the only enemy who scares me even when I'm calm."

And for the first time in Wano, the prison of Udon feels smaller than its fear.

Screen 3 — Mastery of Ryuo

Big Mom's rampage throws Udon Prison into chaos.

Guards scatter.

Orders break down.

No one is watching the training ring anymore.

Ben notices it instantly.

Ben:

"This is our window."

Luffy clenches his fists, breathing slow and controlled.

Hyougoro stands beside him, the explosive collar ticking like a death sentence.

Hyou:

"If you fail… we both die."

Luffy nods.

"I won't fail."

Ben steps back, eyes sharp, fully focused.

Ben:

"You already know how. Stop forcing it. Let the Haki flow out."

At the last second, Queen triggers the collars.

Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

Luffy closes his eyes.

No shouting.

No panic.

His Armament Haki changes — no longer coating his skin, but expanding outward, invisible and precise.

A soft shockwave pulses from his body.

The collars shatter mid-air.

No explosion.

No fire.

Silence.

Hyougoro stares in disbelief.

Hyou:

"…Ryuo."

Luffy opens his eyes, shocked — then grins.

Luffy:

"I did it."

Ben exhales, tension finally releasing.

Ben (smiling):

"Good. Now you can actually hurt monsters like Kaido."

Around them, prisoners whisper in awe.

In the middle of chaos, something dangerous is born.

A fighter who can strike without touching.
