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

Should I...play with him for a bit?

For the first time, the smile on Kizaru's face truly froze.

His usually squinting eyes were now slightly wide open, and the gaze behind his glasses was so sharp it seemed to pierce through people's hearts.

"Oh~?"

Kizaru's tone remained as lazy and irritating as ever, but anyone could hear the danger and... a hint of surprise hidden within it.

"This joke is not funny at all."

"Let's leave it at that; it's better for both of us."

This is a rejection.

It's also a warning.

The surrounding air seemed to have been sucked out in that instant.

A deathly silence reigns over the ruins of Panaro Island.

Blackbeard Teach and his group of officers didn't dare to breathe, their eyes wide open, cold sweat trickling down their foreheads.

Have fun?

Playing around with a naval admiral?!

How on earth does this kid's brain work?!

Doesn't he know that this seemingly sleazy man in front of him is one of the World Government's top combat forces?!

"Borsalino!!"

Suddenly, Sengoku's roar, filled with shock and rage, came through the Den Den Mushi!

"Don't waste time talking to him! Take Gol D. Ace and get out of here immediately!!"

"That devil Lynn...don't mess with him!!"

The Warring States period was so nervous that his heart was practically leaping out of his throat.

One red-haired Shanks is enough to give them a headache.

Now, this demon child Lynn is an even more unpredictable madman!

Who knows what earth-shattering thing he might do next!

"Lord Lynn~"

Kizaru took a deep breath, and the smile on his face returned to its somewhat cynical state.

"I... have a very important mission to perform here~"

"I'm afraid... I can't play with you anymore~"

He tried to refuse in a tactful way.

however.

"Yeah?"

Lynn tilted her head, her dark eyes revealing no emotion.

"That's...what a pity."

next second.

Lynn's gaze fell on Kizaru's right shoulder.

No words were spoken.

No action was taken.

Suddenly, the jet-black eyes turned an eerie blood-red color, and a peculiar kaleidoscope pattern appeared!

Om-!

A cluster of jet-black flames suddenly ignited on Kizaru's right shoulder without warning!

"Um?"

Kizaru raised an eyebrow slightly.

He felt a burning sensation, but did not immediately show any signs of pain.

The black flames, like maggots clinging to his bones, frantically devoured his light particles, emitting eerie "sizzling" sounds!

Kizaru's body is made of light, so flames shouldn't have such an effect on him.

But at this moment, the black fire was like a living thing, clinging tightly to his right shoulder, and no matter how he twisted and turned, he could not shake it off.

His signature lewd smile had also subsided somewhat, replaced by an unprecedented scrutiny and solemnity.

"Oh my gosh~"

Kizaru drawled out the last syllable.

"What is this... strange flame?"

"Does it also come with the effect of Armament Haki?"

Immediately.

He raised his large palm.

It was covered with Armament Haki.

They simply slapped it down, trying to extinguish the black fire.

however.

After he raised his palm, the black fire was completely unaffected!

What even surprised Kizaru slightly was that... his palms, which were clearly covered with Armament Haki, were also stained with that strange black flame!

"this……"

"What kind of sorcery is this?!"

"What the hell! What kind of monster is that little devil?!"

"Is this the true value of a 50 billion bounty...? That's terrifying..."

The Blackbeard Pirates' officers were all deathly pale, their eyes wide with terror!

They didn't even see how Lynn made his move!

Just one look!

A naval admiral was set on fire out of thin air?!

Moreover, the flames were black!

That flame could actually burn the elementalized Admiral Kizaru?!

Not only that.

The general was unable to extinguish the black flames directly... and because of contact with the black flames, other parts of his body were also infected?!

Even though they are all powerful figures in their own right.

But no one had ever seen such a bizarre and terrifying method!

"Captain, it's that black fire again!"

Bashas was terrified.

"Shut up!"

"Of course I know!!"

The arrogant smile on Blackbeard Teach's face had completely vanished.

He stared intently at Lynn, his large hands trembling slightly uncontrollably.

The shadow of the previous fire.

It made him feel a dull ache all over his body... He didn't want to experience that bone-chilling burning pain a second time!

"Admiral Kizaru, quick! Use Conqueror's Haki! Conqueror's Haki can dispel this black flame!"

Blackbeard Teach seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly shouted a reminder.

However, Kizaru's expression turned even uglier.

Conqueror's Haki?

He doesn't have that.

"There's no other way..."

Kizaru made a decisive move, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

He suddenly raised his left hand, which transformed into a lightsaber, and slashed fiercely at his burning right shoulder!

laugh--!

A golden light flashed.

His right arm, which was burning with black flames, was actually severed by himself!

The severed arm turned into specks of light in mid-air, but the black flames continued to burn on those specks of light relentlessly!

Not finished yet.

He then used his other hand to cleanly slice off the burning wrist.

Kizaru's figure instantly retreated dozens of meters, and light flashed at the severed arm, where a new arm and a new wrist quickly condensed and recovered.

Look again at the severed arms and wrists on the ground.

As the light particles disappear.

The black flames then reluctantly dissipated completely.

"Borsalino! What's wrong with you?!"

Through the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku's voice was filled with anxiety and disbelief.

"That brat... what did he do to you?!"

"Oh my gosh~"

Kizaru took a breath and looked at the still expressionless little brat in the distance, his eyes filled with apprehension.

"That's... a terrifying ability~"

"Just a glance... and someone is powerless to resist..."

"This kind of fire... there probably aren't many people on the entire ocean who could handle it..."

He didn't continue.

But everyone understood what he meant.

If it weren't for his ability to transform into elements, he would probably have paid the price of at least an arm and a wrist... while the demon child Lynn only glanced at it!

Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

The expressions on Sengoku's and Garp's faces were beyond words.

Shocked!

Horrified!

There's also a deep sense of powerlessness!

Is this the monster with the 5 billion bounty?!

Even a Marine Admiral, and a formidable opponent like Kizaru... were so pathetic in front of him?!

"Little brat..."

For the first time, Kizaru's voice carried a hint of genuine anger.

His face, which always wore a lazy smile, was now so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.

"Even though I'm a corporate slave, I still have my own temper~"

"Not to mention that as a general, I've been forced by you to cut off my own arm... This humiliation cannot be easily resolved today..."

Before he could finish speaking...

call out--!

Kizaru's figure suddenly transformed into a dazzling golden light and vanished from the spot in an instant!

next second.

He had already appeared behind Lynn!

fast!

Extremely fast!

It surpasses the limits of human dynamic vision!

"Lightning-speed kick!!!"

Kizaru's right leg, gleaming with golden light, kicked fiercely toward Lynn's head with a terrifying whistling sound that tore through the air!

That kick was enough to smash a small mountain!

He wanted to make this arrogant brat pay the same price as him losing his arm!

however.

Just as Kizaru's toe was about to touch Lynn's small body.

Om-! ! !

A massive, purple skeletal upper body made of pure energy burst forth from Lynn's body, completely enveloping his small frame!

The skeleton held a long sword, its ribs were grotesque, and it exuded an aura of gods and demons!

Susanoo!

boom--!!!!

Kizaru's light-speed kick, capable of destroying everything, slammed solidly into the purple energy ribs!

A terrifying shockwave swept outwards in all directions!

The surrounding ground was instantly shattered, creating jagged ravines!

The Blackbeard Pirates were blown about by the shockwave, ending up disheveled and in a sorry state!

however.

The deep purple skull only swayed slightly.

A tiny crack appeared where Kizaru's light-speed kick struck.

That's it!

Lynn stood in the center of Susanoo, his small face still calm, without even blinking.
