After getting rid of Cark's attack with his bare hand, Toz walked up to Cark. Cark was too stunned and overwhelmed with hopelessness at Toz's might, so Toz didn't even have to use magic to close the gap between them.
Cark also realized he didn't stand a chance against Toz and lowered his arms to accept his fate.
Toz slapped Cark off the stage, marking the end of the first challenge to his reign.
Toz's eyes lit up in recognition as he remembered the sensation of striking Cark. he finally realized who he was. However, Cark was already lying unconscious on the ground off the stage, so it didn't matter. It just provided some closure to Toz.
Toz looked at the crowd of wide-eyed pirates. He had intentionally held back so that everyone could see how much he outclassed Cark and that someone needed to be able to do the same in order to challenge him. And the only ones capable of something similar were already on the stage, on the other side of Toz.
