Bege

Humming! 

The sound resonated in the air, charged with a palpable energy that electrified the atmosphere. In an instant, an unprecedented force flooded Hashirama's body, as if it sprang from an infinite spring within him.

It wasn't just an increase in power. It was a total metamorphosis, a transformation affecting every fiber of his being. His bones strengthened, his blood became vibrant, his muscles swelled with uncontrollable strength, and his eyes shone with an unknown intensity.

It was as if his body was renewing itself at a cellular level. Absorbing the natural energy of the environment, every cell filled with power, pushing Hashirama to a state never before reached.

Humming!

The sound intensified, resonating in Bege's soul, who watched in astonishment at his opponent's transformation. An invisible coercion emanated from Hashirama's body, a pressure so powerful it made the ground under his feet tremble.

"What... what kind of power is this...?" Bege murmured the words with a trembling voice, feeling how Hashirama's breath shook his own soul. A chill ran down his spine, a harbinger of the colossal power.

Hashirama's transformation was not only physical but also spiritual. His aura had been imbued with an intimidating majesty, a power so immense that it inspired both fear and respect. A coercion so strong that it made Big Mom seem ridiculous.

"Father, why don't... why don't we leave?" One of Bege's subordinates, his voice choked with terror, pleaded with his leader. "If we don't retreat now, it will be too late."

"Yes!" Another pirate, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, felt an uncontrollable tremor run through his body. "Gollum... gollum..." The others, in terrifying silence, swallowed hard, their faces pale and their eyes full of panic.

It was a completely unexpected situation. They had come to the island in search of Kaido's legendary treasure, only to unearth a monster, a creature that seemed to have emerged from the depths of time.

"As expected of the legend: the Ninja God of Wano, this... this is insane!" King, unlike Bege and his terrified comrades, showed a strange fascination in his gaze, observing Hashirama with a mix of fear and admiration.

"Retreat!" Without hesitation, Bege clenched his fist and ran without looking back, abandoning his men to their fate.

Unfortunately, his escape was in vain. Hashirama, who had remained still until now, opened his eyes, revealing a crimson light that radiated terrifying power.

Boom! An explosion resounded in the air, and one of Bege's subordinates disintegrated in a shower of blood and viscera.

This was just the beginning of the massacre. Quickly, Hashirama unleashed a series of fulminating explosions, incinerating the Fire Tank pirates one by one as if they were helpless puppets.

"NONONO! HELP!" The desperate cries of the pirates echoed in the air, but there was no escape.

"HELP!..." One by one, Bege's crew members fell victim to Hashirama's heat vision, their bodies turning into grotesque caricatures of themselves.

In a matter of seconds, the island became a scene of horror. Unrecognizable corpses lay scattered on the ground, and the air filled with the nauseating smell of burnt flesh and spilled blood.

"How is this possible?" Bege, the sole survivor, watched the scene with a mix of disbelief and terror. His body trembled uncontrollably, and his mind went blank, unable to process the brutality of what he had witnessed.

Hashirama, imposing and serene, looked at Bege with a cold and implacable gaze. In less than five seconds, he had annihilated the entire Fire Tank crew, leaving only the captain alive but completely broken in spirit.

"No!" Bege roared in desperation. "I'm leaving West Blue and never coming back!" Invoking the power of his Devil Fruit, the Shiro Shiro no Mi, he transformed into an enormous armed fortress of colossal proportions. Activating his Step ability, he accelerated his advance without looking back, heading towards the sea in hopes of escaping Hashirama's fury.

One second... three seconds... In barely ten seconds, the imposing fortress in the shape of a castle had launched into the sea, advancing at full speed to reach his pirate ship and flee the island.

"They haven't followed me..." A ray of hope crossed Bege's eyes as he noticed that neither Hashirama nor King moved. A mix of fear and relief invaded him.

Unfortunately, his relief was fleeting. In less than a second, his pupils dilated in terror.

A wooden dragon nearly a hundred meters long materialized in the air, watching him with its enormous eyes. Before Bege could react, the colossal body of the dragon began to emerge from the ground. With a devastating strike of its tail, imbued with Haki, it coiled around Bege's castle, trapping it inside.

Crunching fractures echoed in the air. The castle, whose defense was considered impenetrable like an iron wall, began to crack and crumble under the brute force of the wooden dragon. Finally, with a deafening crash, the fortress shattered, killing Bege and sinking into the sea.

"How is this possible?" That was Bege's last thought, not understanding how a wooden dragon of such magnitude had appeared out of nowhere and destroyed his refuge so easily.

Hashirama, impassive at the scene, didn't even spare a glance at Bege's death. With a simple clap, the wooden dragon dissolved into a cloud of white smoke, leaving only a sepulchral silence in its place.
