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

Dead silence.

The silence was so profound you could hear a pin drop.

Every word Gion uttered on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of the highest levels of the Navy!

"Not a single shot...?!"

The Warring States Marshal's voice was extremely strained, and every word conveyed a deep sense of disbelief.

He glanced at Karp beside him instinctively.

Garp's face, which always wore a sly smile, froze completely at this moment, his mouth slightly open, his expression extremely serious and grave.

"Gion...are you sure you're not seeing things?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru's wise eyes were now filled with turbulent waves.

This is completely mind-blowing!

Shanks, one of the Four Emperors!

That's a monster who can go toe-to-toe with Roger and Whitebeard!

His attack... couldn't even touch a toddler who was just over a year old?!

"Absolutely true!"

Gion's voice trembled slightly, yet remained exceptionally firm.

"Moreover, the appearance of the demon child Lynn has changed quite a bit... He used to be covered in blood and gore, but now, a silvery-white halo surrounds him, and even his hair has turned silvery-white!"

"He doesn't seem like a demon child anymore."

"But... a prodigy! A god among gods!"

Gion's voice still came clearly from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

Silvery-white halo?

Silver-white hair?

What tricks is that devilish Lynn up to now?!

Kizaru Borsalino pushed up his sunglasses, his habitual lewd smile fading considerably, and his tone unusually serious.

"Oh my gosh~ This is truly... incredible information~"

"An evasive ability that even Shanks couldn't handle... This demon child Lynn can no longer be simply described as a 'monster'."

Aokiji Kuzan crossed his arms, his eyes gleaming.

"It seems that our previous assessment of him was too low."

"It's more than just low!"

The Warring States period was so somber that it seemed like water could drip from his face.

A little rascal, just over a year old!

First, he instantly killed two general candidates and severely injured one!

Now, he is effortlessly surviving the fierce attacks of the Four Emperors, Shanks!

What the hell is this monster?!

"Immediately! Upgrade all information regarding the Demon Child Lynn to the highest level!"

Zhan Guo took a deep breath, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"His level of threat... is probably no less than Kaido's!"

"Even...more dangerous!"

Upon hearing this, Garp nodded silently, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"This kid... he's growing up way too fast."

"It's almost here...it's terrifying."

"I am a general," said Lieutenant General Crane in a deep voice.

"This matter must be reported to the Five Elders immediately!"

"The existence of this demon child, Lynn, is enough to shake the very foundations of the world!"

"The world... is probably really about to change..."

……

On the battlefield.

Shanks' offensive is getting faster and more intense!

Griffin transformed into a deadly, cold light, each swing carrying a terrifying power capable of tearing everything apart!

Black, dominant-colored lightning raged wildly around him, churning the surrounding seawater into chaos!

however!

Lynn remained as calm and collected as ever.

His body, as if boneless, twisted and bent in all sorts of unbelievable ways.

Shanks' blade narrowly grazed his body each time.

The strong wind it generated made the stray hairs on his forehead fly wildly.

But I just can't touch it!

I couldn't touch it at all!

"I can't hit it... why can't I hit it?"

"What should we do now?!"

"Is even the red-haired boss going to lose?!"

"Is this kid even human?!"

The crew members of the Red-Haired Pirates were all clutching their hair, their expressions broken, as if they had lost their parents.

The crew of the Whitebeard Pirates weren't in much better shape.

Their complexions were also extremely pale.

Even the redheads…

In the white-bearded man's hawk-like eyes, besides astonishment, there was also an unyielding solemnity.

As a strong person.

While others are fighting, he also considers how he would react and what his chances of winning would be if he were fighting the enemy himself.

Based solely on what Whitebeard has observed so far.

Facing the demon child Lynn.

His conclusion was... the odds of winning were unclear!

Kaido's enormous dragon head also fell silent at this moment.

His lantern-like dragon eyes stared intently at Lynn.

From initial worry, to later astonishment, and now... ecstasy!

An indescribable ecstasy!

His son!

His precious son!

How could... how could someone fight Shanks to this extent?!

Do not!

This has escalated to an extreme level!

This guy is fucking toying with the redhead!

"Red-haired brat! Are you fucking any good?!"

"They can't even touch a hair on my son's head! A Yonko, my foot! That's hilarious!"

Kaido's taunts were like sharp swords, piercing the Red-Haired Pirates.

This made them grit their teeth in anger.

But there was nothing they could do.

"Eeya..."

At this moment, Lynn's small brows furrowed slightly.

The Ultimate Skill... is indeed useful.

But the Conqueror's Haki is being used up way too fast!

The Eight Gates Formation in its Death Gate state just now almost exhausted his strength.

Now, this Ultra Instinct technique is burning his Conqueror's Haki wildly again!

Although he has a considerable amount of Conqueror's Haki stored up, at this rate...

He can only hold on for a few more minutes at most before he collapses!

It seems... my current strength is still far from that of a true Yonko.

We can't afford to be so reckless anymore.

If they continue to act recklessly, and their Conqueror's Haki runs out and their stamina hasn't recovered much, they might get severely injured by that old bastard Shanks' sword, which would be a huge loss.

With this in mind, Lynn made a decision.

Let's give Shanks some face and just admit defeat.

After all, he's a user of the Face Fruit... Anyway, the mission is complete, and he's got Ultra Instinct.

It's worth it!

Just as Lynn was about to admit defeat.

call--!

Shanks, the red-haired man, suddenly leaped backward, widening the distance between himself and Lynn.

The Griffin in his hand also drooped down.

He was breathing heavily, his forehead covered in sweat, and he looked at Lynn with a complicated expression.

"I'm not playing anymore."

Shanks suddenly spoke.

"???"

Lynn was taken aback.

what's going on?

This red-haired uncle doesn't play by the rules!

I've already prepared my lines to admit defeat!

"captain?!"

"Boss?!"

The members of the Red-Haired Pirates were also completely bewildered.

Ben Beckman raised an eyebrow, as if he understood something.

"Because I couldn't take you down right away, I've been reduced to fighting a little brat like you, relying on physical strength and attrition... to win through such means."

Shanks chuckled self-deprecatingly and shook his head. "This kind of victory is better left undone."

"I've lost this match."
