One Piece: Kaido's adopted son, starts with the Eight Gates Formation.

But it is meaningless in itself. The real fun lies not in possessing the throne, but in... overthrowing it.

These words, like the devil's whisper, precisely scratched Lynn's itch.

Lynn blinked, his smile fading slightly. Indeed, after unifying the world, aside from finding some "interesting toys," things seemed rather boring.

Aizen's voice continued, carrying a bewitching magic.

"In this world, it seems there are no rivals left to pique your interest. But that's only because the most interesting things are hidden away."

"Above the Seireitei, in that disguised, false sky, there exists a place called the 'Spirit King Palace.' And within that Spirit King Palace lies a 'prisoner' who is more interesting than any of us, more interesting than anything else in this world."

"He is the true 'god' of this world, the 'wedge' that maintains the stability of the three realms. A pitiful creature who was deprived of his freedom, limbs, and even heart from the moment of his birth, leaving only his torso, yet still supports the operation of the entire world."

Aizen's description is full of contempt and mockery towards that "god".

"Imagine an eternal, immortal, and invincible 'god.' He is the true 'core' of this world, the best... toy that needs to be 'liberated' from the boring eternity."

Aizen spoke the word "toy" very lightly, yet with immense weight.

He was like a top salesperson, perfectly presenting the value of a product to the most discerning customers.

He had a good grasp of Lynn's personality. For this "demon child" who viewed everything as a game, power, status, and order meant nothing. The only thing that could drive him was "fun."

Is there a more interesting toy than a prisoner, unable to resist, eternal "god"?

The message was transmitted, and Aizen's voice disappeared. Lynn's consciousness returned to reality.

He remained seated on his throne, swinging his legs, but the childlike joy that had once sparkled in his pure golden eyes during the "rock, paper, scissors" game had completely vanished.

What replaces DE is a completely new kind of brilliance, imbued with a strong sense of possessiveness and curiosity, like a hunter discovering his top prey.

"Even more fun... prisoners?"

He softly repeated the key words from Aizen's words in a childish voice.

That one simple sentence turned the faces of all the Grim Reapers present as death itself instantly as pale as paper!

"The Spirit King's Palace!"

"He found out! That bastard Aizen told him about Lord Soul King!"

Kyoraku Shunsui unconsciously gripped the edge of his straw hat tightly. Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. If Lynn's previous actions were merely "mischief" on the land of Soul Society, then at most it was a collapse of order and a change of power.

But if he were to set his sights on the Spirit King Palace, on the Spirit King who binds the Three Realms together... that would be the end of the world!

Yamamoto Genryusai's tightly closed eyes snapped open, and for the first time, a genuine emotion called "despair" appeared in his cloudy gaze. He understood better than anyone the significance of the Soul King's existence. It wasn't a life form, but a "concept," a "system." Once this system was destroyed, the Soul Society, the Human World, and Hueco Mundo would collide due to the loss of balance, ultimately returning to chaos and nothingness!

Aizen Sousuke... that man, for his own ambition, was willing to gamble with the survival of the entire world to lure an even more unpredictable monster!

"The Soul King's Palace? What kind of place is that?" Kaido's face lit up with warlike excitement. "It sounds much more impressive than this place called Seireitei! Young Master, shall we go there?"

He completely failed to grasp the complex concept of "the survival of the world." All he heard was "new place" and "stronger existence," which was the best news for a battle maniac.

Whitebeard frowned. He glanced at Captain-Commander Yamamoto's deathly pale face and had a vague feeling that this matter was probably no small thing.
