To be honest, everyone was disappointed.
Especially the ones who lived for chaos—Rayleigh, Tea Dolphin, and Gray Wolf.
Two little girls fighting?
What was there to watch?
Playing jump rope?
Kicking shuttlecocks?
Playing house?
Boring.
Utterly boring.
If it were Liang Bing and Kesha yanking each other's hair and shouting insults, that would at least be entertaining.
Just as Ron was about to nod and let Kanna go—
Rayleigh crossed his legs and curled his lip.
"I'm heading home."
"Shakky dressed beautifully today. That means she wants me back early."
"How beautiful?" Ron asked curiously.
Rayleigh thought for a moment, then replied with a serious face:
"So beautiful it makes your hair stand on end."
Ron: "..."
I understand every word.
But put together, I have no idea what the hell you just said.
Still—
next time you come up with something that poetic, say it earlier.
Let us all learn.
Ron smiled faintly.
"Want to make a bet?"
"On what?" Rayleigh immediately put on a righteous expression.
"I never gamble."
Ron ignored him.
"Bet that Thor and Kanna's 'play' will be far more entertaining than Saitama and the Holy Lord."
"If it isn't, you drink free here for a month."
Before Ron even finished—
"Deal!" Rayleigh blurted out.
"And if you're right, I'll even throw in one of my Devil Fruits from my coffin stash!"
So this old bastard really still has a treasure hoard…
Ron laughed.
"Deal."
He patted Kanna's head.
"Go have fun."
"Okay!"
Kanna nodded obediently.
She and Thor exchanged a glance.
The next moment—
Both of their small figures vanished from the stands.
BOOOOM!!!!!
A gigantic mushroom cloud erupted at the center of the arena.
A thunderous roar followed.
The shockwave spread outward like a hurricane, flattening everything in its path.
Rayleigh stared in disbelief.
"What… just happened?"
Ron smiled calmly.
"Just two little girls playing."
Rayleigh's heart spasmed.
Damn it.
Another Devil Fruit gone.
Everyone else was just as stunned.
Saitama and the Holy Lord's battle had been pure brute force—
huge impact, but the moves were too fast to even see.
But Thor and Kanna?
These two soft-looking little girls were firing atomic bombs with every normal attack.
The entire arena was filled with dazzling explosions.
Everyone else was having the time of their lives—
Except one stylish man wearing sunglasses.
His face was pitch black.
This was all MONEY burning!
Sure, he was rich—
But repairing from Zone 1 to Zone 30 of the arena was insanely expensive!
If this kept up, he'd go bankrupt in days!
Unfortunately—
No one cared.
Homelander's eyes were shining.
"Oh my God… mushroom clouds!"
"I love mushroom clouds!"
"Blow it up harder! Turn this place into a wasteland!"
The others were just as thrilled.
Adrenaline surged with every explosion.
On the battlefield—
Thor charged straight into Kanna.
Their small, pale hands transformed into green dragon claws as they locked fingers and began pushing against each other.
After a moment of struggle—
Kanna twisted her body and hurled Thor into the air, leaping after her and following up with a spinning kick.
But just as her short leg was about to land—
Thor caught it with one hand and smashed her forehead with a headbutt.
Bam!
The two separated.
Kanna rubbed her reddened forehead.
"Lady Thor… you hit too hard!"
"Sorry…"
The instant Thor apologized—
Kanna suddenly appeared right in front of her, hands clasped together, energy rapidly condensing.
A radiant beam burst forth.
Point-blank ultimate?!
Thor didn't retreat.
She simply caught the beam with one hand.
The attack shattered into glittering particles.
Then—
Thor flicked Kanna's forehead with a full-power finger.
And by coincidence—
It hit the exact same spot she'd just headbutted.
Pop!
Kanna froze.
A few seconds later—
Tears welled up as she curled up in midair.
"Lady Thor, that hurts sooo much~"
"Waaah…"
Thor hurriedly pulled her into her arms.
"Did I use too much strength?"
"Mmm…"
"Then let's stop. We'll go rest."
"Mmm."
Kanna snuggled into Thor's softest spot and nodded.
But when they returned to the stands—
Kanna peeked out and stuck her tongue at Ron, eyes sparkling with mischief.
Mission accomplished.
Ron could only laugh helplessly.
So that's why she wanted to fight—
not to battle, but to get Thor to spoil her.
Still…
This only confirmed Ron's belief.
A girl this cute—
one punch from her would make someone cry for a very long time.
Everyone watching thought the same thing:
In this tavern…
the more innocent-looking the girl,
the more terrifying she actually was.
Pluto folded his arms.
"Snow Emperor."
"Our ten-thousand-year feud… shouldn't we finally settle it?"
Snow Emperor shook her head gently.
"Why must we fight?"
"You know love can heal everything."
"Violence only deepens hatred."
"…(ten thousand words of debate omitted)…"
In the end, Pluto could only give up.
Forcing a battle here would only harm the innocent.
Escanor stood up slowly, gazing down on everyone with arrogance.
"I disdain meaningless conflict."
"But the weather is good today."
"Who dares challenge me?"
It was noon.
The time when Escanor was at his strongest—and most prideful.
His words immediately irritated Aizen, Homelander, Meruem, and others.
They were just about to roll up their sleeves—
When a mature, lazy female voice sounded.
"Finally caught up."
"Ron, now you'll let me fight properly, right~?"
"Hmm… this one's full of heat."
"Want me to cool you down a little?"
