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

In the sky, the blood-red comet slowly came to a stop.

The crimson steam that enveloped Lynn's body, powerful enough to distort space, hissed and dissipated like the receding tide.

The dazzling silver hair has faded and returned to its original jet black.

Lynn's small body reappeared, hovering quietly in mid-air.

His indifferent silver eyes returned to the clear, dark color that should belong to a child.

【Ding! 】

[Host detected successfully defeated Marine Admiral 'Kizaru' Borsalino!]

[Mission Completion: S-Rank!]

[Reward: A Huge Amount of Stamina!]

[Reward Awarded: Susanoo Form Advancement - Advanced Form!]

In my mind, a series of cold system notifications rang out.

Lynn could clearly feel an unimaginably powerful life energy instantly filling his limbs and bones!

The enormous energy expenditure and physical strain from activating the Eight Gates were completely soothed and vanished without a trace at this moment!

He's in better shape than ever before!

Not only that.

Om-!

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

A purple skull armor, more solid and imposing than ever before, suddenly materialized around his body!

This Susanoo is no longer a simple skeleton, but is covered with a thick and gorgeous energy coat, and holds a giant weapon of purple energy in its hand!

A sense of oppression!

An unparalleled sense of oppression!

Just by hovering there, the Blackbeard Pirates on Banaro Island below felt that even breathing had become difficult!

"You've gotten stronger again?"

Blackbeard Teach stared at the brand-new, ominous purple armor, his eyelids twitching wildly, his heart skipping a beat.

Is there any limit to this little monster's potential?!

"Captain, we...we must go!"

"That Buster Call... the main force of the Navy is coming soon!"

"If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"

Doc Q, Bashas, ​​and the others scrambled to their feet, their faces filled with terror.

That old cunning Kizaru pressed the Buster Call before he was defeated, which clearly meant he wanted to drag everyone down with him!

If they don't run now, once the main force of the Navy Headquarters arrives, they will all perish here!

Blackbeard, of course, understood this principle as well.

He glanced at Kizaru, who was floating on the distant sea and had completely lost consciousness, and then looked warily at the small figure in the sky.

"Quick! We have to bring Ace with us! Let's go!"

The man with the black beard acted decisively, lowering his voice and shouting at the cadres.

Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Lynn the Demon Child has just gone through a major battle and must be exhausted!

As long as they act quickly enough, they can slip away unnoticed with Ace as their key asset!

Van Augur and Zizas Barzas exchanged a glance and immediately understood. The two of them flashed and rushed towards the place where Ace had fainted.

however.

They haven't met Ace yet.

A childish voice, which made them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, drifted down from the sky.

"Wait a moment."

Swish!

The entire Blackbeard Pirates froze instantly!

They stiffly, inch by inch, raised their heads.

There in the sky, a little kid wearing open-crotch pants was tilting his head, looking at them curiously with his dark, pure eyes.

Gudong.

The black-bearded man swallowed hard, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Lin...Lord Lynn..."

"Is there anything else you need?"

The officials behind him were sweating profusely and didn't dare to breathe.

They were afraid that if this little devil got upset, he would blast them into the sea like Kizaru and feed them to the fish!

Lynn touched her flat stomach.

Then, under everyone's horrified gaze, he stretched out his chubby little finger and pointed to his mouth.

"abdomen."

I'm hungry.

The two words were clearly heard by everyone.

Blackbeard: "???"

PoisonQ: "???"

Van Augur: "???"

The entire Blackbeard Pirates were dumbfounded.

What is that?

We're racing against time to save our lives here, and you're just complaining about being hungry?

Brother, it's the Buster Call!

The navy fleet is about to completely surround this place! You still have the appetite to eat?!

What exactly is the structure of this kid's brain?!

"What...what are you all standing there for!"

Blackbeard was the first to react. He turned around abruptly and roared at the cadres behind him!

"Didn't you hear Lord Lynn say he was hungry?!"

"Hurry! Find something to eat! Cook! Quickly!!"

He no longer dared to harbor even the slightest wishful thinking.

This little devil is clearly someone who doesn't play by the rules!

Forget about the Buster Call, even if Uranus himself descended right now, he'd probably have to eat his fill first!

"Yes, Captain!"

Drug Q, Barshas, ​​and the others were overjoyed and began rummaging through the ruins in a panic.

Soon, they scavenged some dried meat and rum from the wreckage of their broken ship, and hurriedly started a fire to roast the meat.

Lynn hovered in mid-air, controlling his majestic and ferocious advanced form, Susanoo, while watching with interest the group of great pirates below clumsily preparing food for him.

The scene was extremely bizarre.

Blackbeard and the others were anxiously grilling the meat.

They don't understand.

What is this little monster thinking?

Is he really not afraid of death?

That's the Demon Slayer Order!

At a minimum, there would be ten warships, five vice admirals, and tens of thousands of elite naval troops!

Not to mention, this time it was a Marine Admiral who was defeated, so the Marine Headquarters will definitely send an even more terrifying force!

Why isn't he running? Does he intend to single-handedly take on the entire Marine Headquarters?!

soon.

The sizzling, caramelized meat was carefully presented to Lynn.

Lynn didn't stand on ceremony, grabbed a piece of roast meat that was bigger than his head, and started eating it by himself.

After eating and drinking my fill, I let out a burp.

Lynn nodded in satisfaction.

He looked down at the black-bearded man and the others who were sitting on pins and needles, and spoke in a childish voice.

"Give me……"

"Pass on a message."

"Tell my father, Kaido."

"I'll be doing this for now..."

"I'm not going back."

"And while you're at it, send the money back..."

Upon hearing this, Blackbeard and the others were first stunned, then overjoyed!

Aren't you going back?

This means... they're letting us go?!

"Yes! Yes! Lord Lynn! We will certainly deliver your orders!"

The man with the black beard nodded vigorously, his face plastered with a fawning smile.

As for money or not.

Life is the most important thing right now!

He and his group of cadres, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, immediately turned around and tried to make a run for it.

however.

They had only run a few steps.

Click! Click! Click!

An extreme chill suddenly came from beneath my feet!

ice!

The solid, white ice spread wildly from the coastline at a speed visible to the naked eye, instantly freezing most of Panaro Island!

"This is... Aokiji's 'Ice Age'?!"

Blackbeard's expression changed drastically!

Before he could react...

Whoosh—! Whoosh—!

The sky suddenly darkened!

A wave of heat, hot enough to melt steel, descended from the sky!

Everyone looked up in horror!

Dozens of enormous lava fists, burning with raging flames, crashed down on Banaro Island like a meteor shower, leaving long trails of fire!

"A massive fire breath?! It's Akainu!!"

Blackbeard let out a desperate roar!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lynn easily dodged all the attacks with a mere sway of his body.

He raised his head and looked at the distant sea.

there.

Dozens of menacing warships, like steel behemoths, have completely blockaded this sea area!

On the flagship's deck.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the naval hero Garp, and dozens of vice admirals and rear admirals from the Marine Headquarters all stood there!

Their eyes were fixed intently on the island.

When they saw Kizaru floating on the sea, barely breathing, with his eyes rolled back.

Everyone's face was filled with uncontrollable rage and fear!

Akainu was the first to charge forward.

His lower body transformed into magma and surged out, quickly rescuing the unconscious Kizaru and bringing him back to the warship.

"Lynn the Demon Child!!"

As the Warring States period gazed at that tiny figure in the sky, his eyes practically spitting fire!

He pointed at Lynn, his voice like rolling thunder, echoing through the sky!

"You severely injured a naval admiral; your crime is unforgivable!"

"Today, the Navy will fight you to the death!!!"

A chilling atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire battlefield!

Everyone thought that an earth-shattering battle was inevitable!

however.

In the sky.

The little kid, who had just finished eating and drinking, yawned.

then.

Under the extremely shocked and astonished gazes of the Navy, the Blackbeard Pirates, and everyone present, including Sengoku and Garp.

Lynn slowly raised her chubby little hands.

He made a gesture of surrender.

"I."

"surrender."

The entire venue was deathly silent.

At this moment, everyone's brains collectively crashed.
