"YAAAHH!!"
With a fierce roar, Leo spun like a whirlwind, unleashing bursts of Timer Beams in every direction, bombarding the monsters around him without pause.
Above him, the five Chouseishin robots had already taken position. Each one targeted a different sector of the battlefield, stopping the Blood Pool monsters from advancing any farther.
Garuda had summoned two long, flaming blades from each hand like claws. Using her high-speed aerial maneuverability, she slashed through the monster tide like a blazing comet, taking out entire groups with every swipe.
Dolcruz, armed with heavy artillery, hovered motionless in mid-air, firing endless waves of missiles and lightning into the horde below.
Steel Caesar wielded twin cannons, firing beam after beam of destructive light.
Leviathan, with twin water blades in hand, slashed through the monsters around her, each swing sending out devastating crescent waves of pressurized water.
As for Guntres, the moment he landed, a massive shockwave exploded from his body, flattening the surrounding monsters. He then launched his fists and fired lasers from his forehead crystal, turning into a relentless weapon of destruction.
Each of the Chouseishin machines demonstrated overwhelming power, faithfully executing Seven's orders—stopping the monster tide within the zone they defended.

One Piece Universe
In Totto Land, countless monsters had appeared. Civilians were being slaughtered en masse.
The Big Mom Pirates had no choice but to fight back to defend their territory.
But against such overwhelming numbers and terrifying enemies, only Charlotte Linlin and a few of her top sons could hold their ground. The rest, even if they managed to kill some monsters, were soon overwhelmed and torn apart.
"Damn it, where the hell are all these monsters coming from?!"
Katakuri skewered several monsters with his trident, frustration bubbling in his voice.
They were surrounded on all sides. Many of his brothers, sisters, and subordinates had already fallen. As the eldest, Katakuri struggled to keep his calm.
"Reports say they're coming from some bizarre pit… but no one knows where it came from!"
Oven shouted back, slamming his blazing fists into a giant bear-like monster over a hundred meters tall, knocking it back.
"How long is this going to last?! We're losing people, the monsters just keep coming—soon it'll just be us left!"
Daifuku was panicking, his voice shaking.
"Even if it's just us… we kill them all! No one messes with Big Mom Pirates in our territory!!"
Katakuri's voice was like the whisper of death itself, chilling the bones of those nearby.
Suddenly, the environment shifted—everything around them turned soft and elastic, no matter the material.
"Hmmph!"
Katakuri slammed his fist into the ground. In response, the entire area erupted—like dough being kneaded and flung outward. Sticky tendrils surged forward, smacking away swarms of monsters with terrifying force.
"Mochi Blade Barrage!"
Katakuri's arms ballooned into mochi-wrapped clubs laced with Armament Haki, transforming into flails bristling with spikes.
He spun like a top and charged like a train, crushing and flattening anything in his path—even monsters a hundred meters tall were smashed aside by his rampage.
After coming to a halt, he slammed both palms into the ground.
"Mochi Flow!"
The ground beneath him transformed into flowing mochi, dragging every monster nearby toward him.
Katakuri then leapt upward, tossing dozens of mochi balls into the air. They morphed into a ring of sweet donuts above the battlefield.
"Mochi Barrage!"
From each donut, a rain of massive mochi fists—covered in hardened Haki—poured down like a meteor shower, pummeling the monsters below.
Katakuri's sheer dominance lit a fire in the hearts of the Big Mom Pirates.
"Don't be afraid! We've got Katakuri!"
"That's right! With big bro here, there's nothing to fear!"
"And don't forget—Mama hasn't even joined the fight yet!"
"Kill them all!!!"
With their morale surging, the crew and allies fought back desperately against the overwhelming odds.
—
THUMP!
Suddenly, several hundred-meter-tall monsters began climbing out of the Blood Pool one after another.
Seeing these massive creatures, the previously emboldened soldiers and pirates were frozen in place, their courage faltering. Only a few managed to keep their composure.
"What are these things…? Why is their pressure so overwhelming?"
Katakuri's face darkened as he stared at the monstrous beings. A powerful sense of oppression washed over him.
He could tell—these monsters were stronger than him.
"This can't be… I'm Katakuri, the right hand of Big Mom!"
He took a deep breath, suppressing his rising panic. With a shout, his arms turned into massive mochi clubs covered in Haki spikes. He leapt toward the nearest one—a grotesque gorilla-shaped creature over 300 meters tall, its skin covered in boils and entirely hairless.
Katakuri slammed his mochi fist downward.
The monster responded by slamming its own head upward.
Their blows collided—
—and Katakuri was sent flying.
The gorilla monster only staggered back slightly, bleeding from the head but otherwise unharmed.
It jumped into the air and slammed down, landing a brutal palm strike on Katakuri and smashing him deep into the earth.
A shockwave burst outward, fracturing the ground in all directions.
"Big bro Katakuri!!"
Daifuku and Oven shouted in disbelief.
Never before had they seen Katakuri overwhelmed like this.
BOOM!
Suddenly, Katakuri burst out of the crater, battered but still standing.
"…Good thing I turned to mochi in time."
He panted heavily. That monster had hit harder than anyone he'd ever faced. If he hadn't turned his body to mochi at the last moment, the damage would've been much worse.
"…Just one of them is on par with me… and there are more… this is bad…"
As Katakuri assessed the situation, his eyes widened.
From the Blood Pool… even more of these towering monsters were emerging.
Every one of them radiated an aura stronger than his own.
His body began to shake—an involuntary tremor. For the first time, Katakuri felt fear.
"Hakoku!!"
Suddenly, a thunderous, wrathful voice—raspy and filled with fury—shook the air.
Katakuri didn't hesitate. The moment he heard it, he dashed aside as fast as possible.
CRASH!!
A massive energy wave tore through the space he had just vacated.
It barreled into the gorilla monster—punching a hole clean through its body.
