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

A system prompt popped up.

In an instant, the will to rule the world within Lynn surged dramatically.

Lynn could clearly feel that his Conqueror's Haki had become much stronger than before!

He could probably crush anyone below the rank of general on the spot with just his Conqueror's Haki... and lose consciousness instantly!

As for the Special Beam Cannon, reducing its consumption by 50% is even more crucial.

In the future, if we encounter an extreme situation like one person fighting against the entire navy, we will be able to overcome it.

He can fight for longer.

It might even change the entire course of the war!

"Mission accomplished... It's time to leave!"

Lynn stretched out a big yawn.

"I've had enough fun."

His childish voice, though not loud, carried clearly throughout the entire sixth floor.

"I want to go out."

Swah——

For an instant.

All eyes, from the criminals in the cell to the naval officers on guard, were on him.

Those high-ranking prisoners who had just been engrossed in discussing the secret executions of the previous days suddenly tensed up.

Hannibal Lecter, the deputy warden of Impel Down responsible for guarding the sixth level, was stunned for three seconds after hearing this.

Followed by.

His face, which was always etched with ambition and resentment, suddenly burst into wild joy!

His expression was a hundred times more excited than when he learned that he was about to replace Magellan as director!

"Are you...are you telling the truth?!"

Hannibal's voice was trembling.

This little devil!

This living devil!

He's finally leaving!

"quick!!"

Hannibal roared at his men with almost all his might.

"What are you all standing there for?!"

"Open the door!!"

"Respectfully seeing off...respectfully seeing off Lord Lynn on his departure!!"

"yes!"

The guards, as if granted a pardon, rushed to the cell door in a flurry and, as quickly as possible, unlocked the lock that was practically useless to Lynn.

As Hannibal wiped away tears of joy, he quickly pulled out a Den Den Mushi and dialed the chief's office as fast as he could.

"Chief Magellan!!"

"This is fantastic news!!"

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi came Magellan's somewhat weak, yet still authoritative voice.

"What is it, Hannibal? Calm down."

"He's leaving! That little devil is finally leaving!!"

"..."

There was a full five seconds of silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

Immediately afterwards, a clear, deep sigh of relief was heard.

"...He's finally...that's great!"

"Get him out of here immediately!"

"yes!"

Magellan hung up the phone and, without the slightest hesitation, immediately dialed the private line of Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

……

Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

Sengoku was rubbing his temples with a headache on his face.

Just now, he received a message that sent his blood pressure soaring.

The Celestial Dragons were attacked by pirates in the Sabaody Archipelago.

The one who actually did it was that damned naval hero's grandson, Straw Hat Luffy!

Kizaru has already gone there in person.

However, the negative impact of this incident is already irreversible.

The Navy just suffered a huge loss at Impel Down, losing face, and now this has happened again.

The World Government is losing face because of these lawless bastards!

Blue blue blue...

The Den Den Mushi on the table rang.

The Warring States period was in a state of agitation when the call was connected.

"Oh, it's Magellan. What's up?"

"Marshal," Magellan's voice held an barely suppressed ease, "'Ne Zha' Lynn has requested to leave Impel Down."

Zhan Guo's hand, which was rubbing his temples, suddenly stopped.

For the first time, a look of surprise appeared on his face, which was etched with frustration and anger.

Immediately, that initial surprise transformed into an undisguised...joy.

"What did you say?!"

"He's leaving?!"

"Yes, absolutely."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Zhan Guo said "good" three times in a row, finally feeling that the huge stone that had been weighing on his heart for the past few days had been lifted off his feet.

Finally... finally some good news.

……

Lynn slowly walked out of the cell, escorted by Hannibal and others with utmost respect and almost fawning.

"Hey! Demon Child! Don't go!"

"Damn it! Let us all out!"

"Please! Just let me out, I'll do anything for you!"

The legendary criminals in the cell have gone completely mad.

They clung to the railings, letting out angry roars and pleas.

This was the closest they had ever come to freedom!

"..."

Barrett, the Red Earl, the Golden Lion, and other top-tier criminals remained silent, coldly witnessing everything.

Lynn ignored all of this.

He didn't even bother to spare a glance for these once-powerful pirates.

He took small steps, step by step, out of this place known as eternal hell, under the extremely awe-inspiring gazes of countless sailors.

When the first rays of sunlight, carrying the scent of the sea, shone on Lynn's face.

A familiar light screen appeared before his eyes once again.

【Ding! 】

[Host has successfully escaped from Impel Down!]

[Mission complete! Rewards being distributed...]

[Congratulations, host! You have received a reward: a significant increase in physical fitness! Current physical fitness level: Navy Lieutenant Commander!]

[Congratulations, host! You have received a reward: the cost of the skill "Eight Gates Formation" has been reduced by 50%!]

boom--

An indescribable power, originating from the deepest part of life, instantly filled Lynn's limbs and bones.

He felt as if his body had broken free of some kind of shackles, becoming lighter and more resilient.

"good."

Lynn nodded in satisfaction.

Next, all we need to do is wait for the Marineford War to begin.

He glanced at Hannibal beside him, who was still bowing and scraping, his face full of obsequiousness.

"By the way, when was Portgas D. Ace executed?"

"Uh..." Hannibal didn't understand why Lynn was asking this, but he quickly replied, "In seven days!"

"Seven days...?"

Lynn tilted her head.

There is still plenty of time.

That's enough for him to go back to Ghost Island.

Just as he was about to set off.

suddenly.

The system notification popped up again.

[Ding! Host's current condition is excellent, and the world situation is turbulent. Additional mission is now issued!]

[Task 1: Submit to a character of Shichibukai rank or higher, requiring their genuine submission; no threats, intimidation, or torture are permitted.]

[Mission Reward: Massive Stamina! Skill 'Amaterasu' evolves, now able to apply to all targets within line of sight simultaneously!]

[Mission Two: Defeat one of the Five Elders head-on without any assistance!]

[Mission Reward: Significantly enhanced physical constitution! Skill 'Ultra Instinct' cost reduced by 50%!]

[Mission 3: Torture and kill a Celestial Dragon. The torture process must last for more than one minute.]

[Mission Reward: A brand new ability!]

Lynn was stunned.

For the first time, a genuine look of surprise appeared on his little face.

These three tasks...

Each one is incredibly difficult!

To subdue a powerful figure on par with the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

Which person of this caliber isn't proud, arrogant, and unyielding to the death?

Getting them to truly submit is harder than killing them!

The key is that you can't use threats, intimidation, torture, or similar methods... In that case, even if he has enough strength to kill a general or a king, he won't be of much use in this mission!

The second task is to defeat the Five Elders head-on.

He knew those Five Elders quite well.

He has lived for countless years.

An immortal and indestructible body.

Even if it is pierced through the whole body, it can recover easily.

It's really unclear whether his current methods can cause any real harm to the Five Elders...

Even if it can cause harm.

But who are the Five Elders?

The supreme authority of the world government, an old man standing at the top of the world!

Taking action against them would be tantamount to declaring war on the entire world government and the entire navy!

To defeat one of the Five Elders head-on in this lineup, without any help... the difficulty is unimaginable!

As for the third task, needless to say.

Torture and kill the Celestial Dragons... for another minute.

This action was taken.

Absolutely a global sensation!

Let alone the Five Elders.

Even the real mastermind behind it all, Im, would be furious!

By then, his bounty will probably be much more than 50 billion... even 100 billion might not be enough!

Each of these three tasks carries enormous risks; a single misstep could lead to utter ruin!

But then again.

That reward...

It's so generous that it's impossible to refuse!

Amaterasu has been upgraded to have the ability to instantly kill multiple enemies... With a single glare, it directly attacks a large number of important figures.

If this ability were used in the previous naval execution battles...

Its destructive power is absolutely astonishing!

Furthermore, the 50% reduction in energy consumption for Ultra Instinct is also crucial.

Its battery life can be further enhanced!

of course.

What Lynn found most tempting and enviable.

Nothing beats that brand-new ability!

Take into account the new capability to mediate the Marineford War.

This means that just by completing these two tasks... you can directly gain two new abilities!

Can be imagined.

By then.

How high will his combat power increase!

Torture the Celestial Dragons...

It seems this is still the most cost-effective option.

But... where can we find the Celestial Dragons?

We can't just barge into the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, can we?

That place is a den of dragons and tigers.

It's definitely not time to take the plunge.

In this way...

They can only find lone Celestial Dragons...

"Oh, right!"

Suddenly, a glint flashed in Lynn's eyes, "Shampoa!"
