Binbou rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.
After repeatedly confirming that he wasn't mistaken, he quickly plastered a smile on his wrinkled face, tossed aside his water pipe, and stood up to greet the newcomer.
In Binbou's mind, the only people in Wano Country capable of such aerial feats nowadays had to be the elite members of the Beast God Pirates.
Thus, the first words he uttered brought about his doom.
"Are you a distinguished member of the Beast God Pirates? What brings you to Ruin Town?"
With an ingratiating smile, Binbou approached Kid.
"Beast God Pirates... distinguished member?"
Before even landing, Kid heard the fawning tone of the repulsive old man below.
The killing intent he had been suppressing since the ironworks surged forth like a tidal wave.
With his expression cold, Kid landed with a thud right in front of Binbou.
"Haha, distinguished member—"
Before Binbou could finish, Kid suddenly reached out with a massive hand and grabbed his head.
Binbou froze, his face paling in terror.
"Sir, what are you—?"
"Every last one of the Beast God Pirates deserves to die!"
Kid's eyes burned crimson as his fingers dug mercilessly into the old man's skull, distorting Binbou's face beyond recognition.
A bloodcurdling scream tore from Binbou's throat, blood gushing from all seven orifices.
The tranquil town was abruptly shattered by the agonized shriek.
"What happened?"
"Are we under attack by beasts again? Get the women and children to safety!"
"That sounded like Mayor Binbou! Quick, let's check on him!"
Scattered residents of the town, alarmed by the scream, rushed toward the source.
Most were elderly, frail, or in poor health.
Anyone with enough strength to work had already volunteered at factories across Wano Country.
Only the elderly, children, and women caring for them remained in the town.
When the crowd reached the source of the scream, they were met with a horrifying sight.
At the center of the street stood a red-haired man with mechanical limbs, his fingers buried deep in Mayor Binbou's skull.
Crack. Crack.
With Kid exerting his strength, Binbou's fragile skull was crushed with a sickening pop under his single-handed grip.
Fragments of the skull splattered outward, and thick red-and-white matter splashed onto Kid's face.
Far from disgusted, he perversely licked the crimson stains from the corner of his mouth with his tongue.
"HAHAHA, HAHAHAHA! Exhilarating! So Exhilarating!"
Kid grinned maniacally, flashing a wicked smile at the horrified crowd.
Tossing aside Binbou's headless corpse, Kid spread his right hand and swept it toward the crowd ahead!
Whoosh!
An invisible force surged forth.
The elderly clutching hoes, rakes, and kitchen knives watched in terror as the iron implements tore free from their grasp, as though seized by an unseen hand that swept through the crowd.
Schlick! Schlick! Schlick!
A series of flesh-rending sounds later, the stunned crowd was instantly bisected.
Countless blood fountains erupted, painting the street crimson.
Dozens of weapon-wielding elders were diced into chunks without so much as a whimper, their scattered limbs transforming Broken Town into a charnel house.
Laughing wildly, Kid stomped through the viscous blood.
Squelch.
A severed elderly head—eyes still wide with shock—was crushed beneath Kid's steel-plated boot.
Under the immense pressure, both eyeballs burst from their sockets with audible pops, shooting through a wooden window across the street and landing inside a house.
Within, a terrified, homely woman clutched a malnourished child, muffling its mouth with a trembling hand, too petrified to make a sound.
Thunk! Thunk!
The window shattered as two spherical projectiles struck the woman and child's quivering heads.
Pop! Pop!
Both skulls exploded instantly, leaving headless bodies still locked in their embrace.
Crunch!
Kid stepped on a severed arm, snapping it and sending fragments flying in all directions.
Moments later, agonized screams and groans erupted from multiple directions, followed by thuds of collapsing bodies and women's shrieks.
"My child! NO—!"
Bang!
A door burst open as a ragged old woman, eyes bloodshot with grief, charged at Kid with a rusted hatchet.
"Monster! MONSTER! I'll kill you!"
Mad with rage, she waded through gore and hacked at Kid's chest.
"HAHAHA! Pathetic insect! You can't comprehend the gap between us! Tremble, maggot!"
Kid roared, letting the blade strike him.
CLANG!
The hatchet connected—only to rebound with a metallic clang.
The recoil sent the frail woman stumbling backward over a mutilated corpse, sprawling into the bloodbath.
"Beast! You vile BEAST! Why? WHY kill my child?! The Queen won't spare you! The Beast God Pirates won't spare you, MONSTER!" The old woman screamed wildly, her eyes filled only with endless pain and fury, devoid of the fear and submission Kid had hoped to see.
"Disgusting vermin, you make me sick. Heh, your so-called queen can't even protect herself now. Once those idiots from the Revolutionary Army squeeze out her last bit of usefulness, I'll drag her here and tear her apart inch by inch right before your pathetic eyes! Hahaha, Killer, I will avenge you no matter what!"
Kid's face twisted as he clenched his fist toward the old woman.
Crack, crack, crack.
Her withered body instantly crumpled into a ball, her bones emitting unbearable snapping sounds as they collapsed and compressed section by section.
Countless blood threads sprayed from her body's surface. Just like that, under Kid's power, a living person shrank into a fleshy orb the size of a head.
"The human body contains metallic elements too. This move is one of my proudest creations, hahaha! Today, I'll test its effectiveness on these worthless Wano Country scum."
Kid sneered, stepping forward to pick up the fleshy orb.
Seeing the twisted, furious face embedded on it—an expression frozen in death—only fueled the rage burning in his chest.
"Magnetic Shockwave!"
Furious, Kid tossed the orb aside and punched the ground beneath him.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion erupted, sending massive fissures snaking across the earth, tearing apart the newly built wooden huts of the rundown town in an instant.
The ground heaved, soil and rocks churning as if a massive earthquake had struck.
In mere moments, the once-peaceful town was reduced to ruins.
