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

At this moment, the whole world was in an uproar because of a newspaper.

Morgans's bird-like face was beaming with unprecedented excitement.

His World Economic News, with an unprecedented expedited edition, front page, and extra-large font, announced a message to the world that was enough to overturn all perceptions!

[Breaking News! Breaking News! World-shaking! The Three Sovereigns Meet, Dramatically Changing the World Order!]

[Kaido's son, Lynn, single-handedly fights the Red-Haired Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates!]

[The Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks, actually... admitted defeat!]

The huge title, coupled with a few blurry but still clear photos of the fierce battle, instantly ignited an uproar in every sea area!

"What?! Are you kidding me?!"

"It's that brat Lynn again?! He single-handedly... took on two major royal teams?! You can't be kidding me?!"

"Red-haired Shanks... surrendered?! Is this some kind of fairy tale?!"

Countless people rubbed their eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing.

In teahouses, taverns, on pirate ships, inside naval bases...

Exclamations, doubts, and gasps of surprise rose and fell in waves!

It felt as if the whole world had been hit by a depth charge!

But when they saw another, more eye-catching news item in the newspaper...

Everyone's brains completely shut down.

[World Government's Latest Bounty! Lynn the Demon Child, Bounty Amount—5 Billion Berries!!!]

Five billion!

Five billion!!!

This number, as if possessing magic, violently impacts everyone's senses!

"Five...five billion?!"

A tavern owner dropped his wine glass with a loud crash, shattering it into pieces.

"I...I'm not seeing things, am I? A bounty on par with the Four Emperors?!"

"That brat in open-crotch pants... fifty billion?!"

The whole world fell silent.

After a brief silence came an even more terrifying clamor!

"This is insane! This world has gone completely insane!"

"This demon child Lynn... just what kind of monster is he?!"

"One family with two Yonko... who can stop the Beasts Pirates?!"

"It's over...it's all over!"

……

On a sinister and eerie island in the Grand Line, there lies Gecko Moria's terrifying three-masted ship.

"Five...five billion Berries?!"

"Red-haired...Red-haired Shanks...has given up?!"

Moriah's eyes widened in surprise, and the scissors in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Are you kidding me...?"

Moria slumped onto his throne, drenched in cold sweat. "Where on earth did Kaido pick up such a monster?!"

He also dreamed of one day making a comeback and challenging Kaido again.

Now it seems...

That's utterly delusional!

"I'm afraid I can no longer hold onto this position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

Even being a Shichibukai made Moria feel incredibly dangerous!

……

Daughter Island, Amazon Lily.

Having just finished her rigorous training, Empress Boa Hancock strolled back to her palace.

Upon arrival, they saw Grandma Za, who was holding a newspaper on her head and staring in disbelief, along with her sisters and bodyguards.

Everyone's face was filled with shock and awe.

"Has something happened at sea again?"

"However, there's no need to panic, no matter how big the situation. My strength is improving very rapidly now, and I'm capable of fighting even a general!"

Her diligent training during this period greatly improved her strength, giving her the confidence to stand out from the crowd once again.

"Hancock...you, look at this..."

Hancock took the newspaper.

Just one glance.

Her expression changed drastically, and her pupils dilated.

"What?!"

"Lynn the Demon Child...a bounty of five billion?!"

Hancock was utterly shocked. "It wasn't long ago that his bounty was 30 billion! And it's already 50 billion?!"

But then I looked at the results.

He faced off against the two Emperors alone.

He won over many core members of the Red-Haired Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates.

Even Shanks, the Red-Haired, voluntarily admitted defeat...

"Redhead... admits defeat?!"

Hancock was dumbfounded.

If she could catch up with this brat before through cultivation... how can she possibly catch up now with this incredible record?!

……

Klaigana Island, a damp and cold ancient castle.

Hawkeye Mihawk put down the newspaper he was holding.

His sharp, eagle-like eyes remained calm and still.

However, the veins on the right hand holding Ye's hand were slightly bulging.

He stood up and walked towards the door.

He's going to ask the redhead.

What exactly happened?

Just how strong is that brat... that he was able to make the man he acknowledged admit defeat?

……

A secret base somewhere.

Bartholomew Kuma, a revolutionary army cadre, sat in the corner, his enormous figure visible.

The officials were shouting and yelling.

Exclamations of surprise rang out.

"Don't panic."

"The appearance of Lynn the Demon Child may not necessarily be a bad thing for our revolutionary army."

Dragon also held a newspaper in his hand, his eyes gleaming. "His current brilliance has surpassed all the Four Emperors, as well as us... The World Government's focus will inevitably turn to Demon Child Lynn."

"This is a great opportunity for us to continue to grow."

Upon hearing this, the cadres' eyes lit up.

Yes.

In this way, they will have the opportunity to liberate more countries!

……

A new world, on a deserted island.

The entire Blackbeard Pirates were dumbfounded.

"Ha ha ha ha... Captain... this newspaper... it's not printed wrong, is it?"

DocQ pushed up his glasses, his voice sounding slightly unsteady.

"Fifty billion... Red-haired guy admits defeat..."

Van Oka wiped the sweat from his forehead, his grip on the Thousand Six sword becoming increasingly unsteady.

"Champion" Zisas Basas opened his mouth wide, unable to close it for a long time.

"How the hell are we supposed to catch up now?!"

"I was still thinking about getting revenge on him! This little brat has suddenly risen to the top?!"

Even Blackbeard Teach's face was filled with shock and bewilderment.

"One person against the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates?"

"And they even severely damaged the executives of the Twin Emperors' group?"

"Redhead admits defeat?!"

Blackbeard felt that he recognized each word individually, but when put together, it was utterly absurd!

No one understands the true value of the Twin Emperors Group better than him.

No one understands Shanks' terrifying strength better than him.

Even if he got the Dark-Dark Fruit, he still had to avoid the Whitebeard Pirates... This brat not only publicly challenged them, but also won?!

To escape unscathed?!

Are you kidding me?!

Just then.

"Teach...it looks like something terrible has happened to you."

A lazy voice, tinged with amusement, drifted over.

"Um?"

Teach raised an eyebrow and looked at the person who had just arrived.

The other cadres also quickly became alert.

"Captain Ace?!"

"How did you find your way here?"

"Did you come here specifically to see me?"

Ace's eyes gradually turned cold.

"What do you think, Teach?"

Ace said coldly, "Murdering your comrades, stealing the fruit... do you think you can be forgiven?"

Upon hearing this, Teach did not get angry but laughed instead.

"Zehahaha! Captain Ace, you're wrong about that."

"What defines a traitor? A good bird chooses its tree, and a wise minister chooses his lord; isn't that normal?"

He pointed at Ace, then at the sky.

"Look at the world now! Lynn the Demon Child! A little kid who's just over a year old, with a bounty of five billion! Even Shanks fell for him!"

"What does this mean? It means times have changed, Ace!"

"The Whitebeard Pirates? They're so outdated! Whitebeard himself is too old! They can't even control the rise of a little kid, what future do they have?"

Teach's voice was seductive.

"Join me, Ace! With your strength and my Dark-Dark Fruit, if we join forces, we'll definitely create a brand new era!"

"At that time, all those Demon Child Lynn and the Four Emperors will become our stepping stones!"

Upon hearing this, Ace was so angry that he laughed instead.

"Shut up, Teach!"

"You despicable and shameless scoundrel, how dare you mention my name?!"

"You dare mention Lynn?!"

"I will never stoop to your level!"

"Prepare to die, Teach!"

"Fire Fist!!!"

A giant flaming fist slammed down towards Teach!

"Hahaha... You've come at the perfect time! My plan can now be executed even more perfectly!"

A sinister glint flashed in Teach's eyes.

"Dark water!"

A dense darkness surged from Teach's hand, meeting Ace's flames head-on!

boom--!!!

On the island of Panaro, a fateful showdown is about to unfold!

……

the other side.

Ghost Island.

Lynn, who had been in a coma for several days, slowly woke up.

His eyelids felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. He struggled to open them, and what came into view was a huge dragon face that stretched to its ears.

"Orororororo!"

Kaido's signature maniacal laughter exploded in Lynn's ears like thunder. "Lynn, you're finally awake! Come and see your bounty poster, five billion... a whole five billion, higher than mine! Hahahaha!"
