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

Silver-white hair.

Kizaru's expression was solemn.

He recalled what Momotaro had said in his report not long ago.

When Demon Child Lynn fought against Shanks, he used a form that was entirely silver-white... No need to ask, it's the same one he's using right now!

And in this silver-white form, the demon child Lynn...

Even Shanks.

They couldn't even hit a single hair on his head!

"This is getting complicated..."

Although Kizaru's signature lewd smile was still there, there was an unprecedented seriousness in his eyes.

"Speed ​​is weight..."

Kizaru murmured softly.

Om-! ! !

Kizaru's figure instantly transformed into a golden stream of particles and vanished from the spot!

next second.

He's already behind Lynn!

fast!

Extremely fast!

It surpasses the limits of human neural response!

His right leg, enveloped in Armament Haki, gathered terrifying power enough to kick through an island, transforming into a golden light axe that slammed down fiercely towards the back of Lynn's head!

He had absolute confidence in this kick!

Even if you can't break that eerie purple armor, it's enough to kick this brat and his turtle shell into the sea!

however.

Just as his toes were about to touch the purple skull helmet.

Lynn moved.

No.

He didn't even move.

He just tilted his head slightly.

It was just a casual, almost negligible action.

Swish!

Kizaru's seemingly inevitable light-speed kick grazed the edge of the purple skull and missed completely!

The fierce wind couldn't even stir a single silver hair on Lynn's head!

"Um?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Kizaru's eyes.

He just... dodged it like that?!

Before he could think further...

A terrifying sense of crisis, stemming from his biological instincts, instantly enveloped his entire body!

Without a second thought, his body transformed into light particles once more, instantly flashing to another spot in the air a hundred meters away!

"Captain, that brat...dodged!"

From afar, the Blackbeard Pirates—Van Augur's voice was filled with disbelief.

He rubbed his eyes and then pinched Doc Q's arm hard.

"Ouch!" Doc Q hissed in pain.

"It's true!" Blackbeard Teach's voice trembled. "The Admiral's attack... he dodged it?!"

"Captain, it's not as simple as just dodging..." Lafitte adjusted his top hat, his voice hoarse. "Did you all see clearly? That brat... didn't even turn around!"

"He just... tilted his head slightly!"

Upon hearing this, the entire Blackbeard Pirates crew fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone felt a chill run from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads!

With his back to the general's attack, he didn't even turn his head, but simply tilted his head slightly, perfectly dodging the light-speed kick?!

What terrifying level of Observation Haki would that require?!

Do not!

This is no longer within the scope of Observation Haki!

This is... a premonition!

Do not!

It's even more outrageous than we predicted!

It's as if... his body can move on its own!

"What an incredible monster!"

Kizaru transformed into golden light once more, flashing wildly around Lynn!

From the left!

From the right!

From above!

From below!

Each appearance is accompanied by a deadly attack capable of destroying a mountain!

Light-speed kick!

Flash Kick - Speed ​​Kick!

laser!

Flash - Torrent of Lasers!

Even later on.

Kizaru once again used the Yasakani no Magatama: Light Clone, making each clone wield the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi to launch a close-range slash at Lynn!

In an instant, the entire sky was filled with alternating golden rays of light from near and far, as well as terrifying slashes!

The ferocious attack made the black-bearded man and his men below tremble with fear and their scalps tingle!

This level of offensive.

Replace any one of them.

They'd probably be finished by now!

however.

No matter how fast Kizaru's attack is.

No matter how tricky his perspective may be.

Lynn remained standing still.

He would just... occasionally raise his hand, or turn his body to the side, or even just tilt his head.

Every single attack, without exception, missed its target!

That feeling was extremely eerie!

It's as if Lynn's body doesn't even exist in this space!

Or rather, all of Kizaru's attacks seemed to be programmed to deliberately bypass Lynn's body!

"What...what is this thing?!"

As Lafitte watched the tiny figure in the sky effortlessly dodging the barrage of attacks, a shiver ran through his very soul.

Outrageous!

This is completely mind-blowing!

That's a naval admiral!

It is one of the most formidable monsters on the high seas!

At this moment, he was like a clown who tried his best but couldn't touch his opponent at all!

"Lynn the Demon Child in this state... is indeed a bit difficult to deal with."

After a fierce attack, Kizaru's figure re-emerged in the distance.

He looked at the silver-haired brat who remained expressionless and whose breathing showed no change, and a hint of surprise flashed deep in his eyes.

Gion... I wasn't lying.

Red-haired Shanks, you really can't touch him!

"It's my turn."

at last.

Lynn spoke up.

The sound wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present clearly.

It was still that innocent, childlike voice.

But at this moment, it sounds with a chilling indifference that freezes the soul.

He slowly raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers joined together, aiming at Kizaru in the distance.

A familiar posture.

A familiar starting stance.

"Is it that trick again?"

Kizaru's eyes narrowed.

Special Beam Cannon!

Its power is indeed terrifying, but its trajectory is too obvious and its speed is not top-notch.

With advance warning, at the speed of light, it's entirely possible...

hum! ! !

Spiral energy gathered wildly at Lynn's fingertips!

Golden-purple arcs of electricity crackled and leaped!

"go."

Lynn spoke indifferently.

call out!

A destructive golden-purple energy beam, trailing a spiraling tail of flame, tore through the sky and shot toward Kizaru!

"How scary!"

Kizaru uttered his catchphrase half-jokingly, his body instantly transforming into light as he instinctively performed a flash-like movement.

He had calculated that as long as he dodged this shot, he could instantly circle around to Lynn's blind spot and launch a powerful attack!

however.

Just as his body was being reassembled by photons and was about to take shape.

His pupils suddenly dilated to their maximum size!

He saw it.

He saw another, identical, special beam cannon, which had silently appeared at the coordinates where he was about to appear!

Two beams of light!

One of them was an open strategy, forcing him to dodge!

The other method was a decisive one, accurately predicting all his possible evasion routes!

"Oops!"

Only one thought flashed through Kizaru's mind!

He wants to become elemental again!

But he discovered that the speed of the Demonic Light Cannon was so fast that he didn't even have time to transform into an element!

He didn't have time to think, and Armament Haki instantly covered his entire body, pushing his defense to the limit!

next moment.

boom--!!!!!!

Kizaru felt as if he had been struck by a terrifying force that was beyond words!

This caused him to fly backward uncontrollably.

That demonic beam cannon.

It continued to impact Kizaru's body.

It plummeted straight down!

The island of Panaro below was like a cookie being smashed by a hammer in the face of this shockwave!

The ground is cracked layer by layer!

The entire island was shaking violently and wailing!

It looked as if it would completely fall apart and sink into the sea at any moment!

Pfft!

Pfft!

The members of the Blackbeard Pirates collapsed to the ground, their legs giving way.

They looked up, dumbfounded, at the devastating scene in the sky, their minds blank.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

The sky has regained its clarity.

That petite, silver-haired figure remained suspended silently in mid-air.

He slowly lowered his hands, his indifferent gaze sweeping across the area below.

And Kizaru.

That was just a moment ago the most invincible force in the navy.

At this moment, he was half-squatting in a huge pit, his justice coat tattered and torn.

He was completely disheveled.

He managed to stay upright by bracing himself against the ground with the Kusanagi Sword.

puff--!

Despite his best efforts to restrain himself, Kizaru could not hold back in the end, and a mouthful of scalding blood spurted from his mouth, falling to the ground in a particularly glaring sight.

"Gulp."

Blackbeard and his men all swallowed hard, their throats feeling like they were on fire.

Reinvented!

One strike!

Just one strike!

They managed to beat a naval admiral to such a sorry state... he even coughed up blood?!

He looked up at Lynn in the sky, his face showing an unprecedented heaviness.

too frightening.

This kid... he's a monster!

A complete monster!

Just then.

Kizaru saw that the silver-haired brat in the sky once again... slowly raise his hand.

!!!

Kizaru's expression changed slightly.

If I fire another shot, I'll be done for today!

He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

He knew that if he continued fighting, his chances of winning were slim...

In the end, Kizaru had no choice but to put away the Ama-no-Murakumo sword and raise his hands high.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

"Alright, Lord Lynn! Let's stop here!"

"You've won this round, I admit defeat."
