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

All eyes were focused on that small figure and his seemingly casual yet powerful words.

Recruiting...the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

In front of a naval admiral?

The Straw Hat crew and the Supernovas' brains completely shut down.

Rayleigh's eyes were also filled with unprecedented surprise and doubt.

What exactly is this brat trying to do?

"Feed...feed..." Kizaru managed to speak, trying to ease the extremely eerie atmosphere.

"Demon Child... Your Excellency, this... this is an internal matter of our Navy... and it involves the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Lynn then turned her tender little face and looked at him calmly with an emotionless gaze.

"I do things."

"Since when did it become the Navy's place to interfere?"

"You keep catching your pirates, don't interfere in my business."

Those two simple words were like two invisible slaps to Kizaru's face.

The lewd smile on Kizaru's face froze instantly, solidified, and finally disappeared completely.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Speechless.

He was actually rendered speechless by a little kid who was just over a year old, in front of the whole world!

boom!

This scene was like a thunderbolt exploding in the minds of all the marines and pirates who witnessed it!

That's a naval admiral!

The world's highest combat power!

To think... to be scolded like this by a brat, and not even dare to say a word in rebuttal?!

"This..." Rayleigh's pupils contracted to their maximum size.

He stared intently at Kizaru's extremely ugly face.

Something is wrong!

Something's really wrong!

Kizaru's reaction was not the kind of fear one should have when facing a powerful opponent.

That was... panic!

Genuine panic!

What exactly did this brat named Lynn do to Kizaru?!

For the first time, a hint of emotion, beyond the mechanical one, appeared on Tyrant Bear's usually expressionless face.

He looked at Lynn in front of him, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke in a synthesized electronic voice devoid of any emotion.

"I refuse."

An expected answer.

However, Lynn simply tilted her head, showing no sign of disappointment.

"I know you have a deal with Vegapunk."

"I'd trade my own body for my daughter's life."

Lynn's words caused the bear's massive body to tremble violently!

"you……!"

"I can get the World Government to treat your daughter Bonnie for free."

Lynn's voice was still childish, yet it possessed an undeniable magic.

"You don't need to be completely transformed; you can retain your personality and memories."

"Your family can be reunited."

Boom!!

These words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, sending chills down everyone's spines!

Should the world government provide free medical treatment?

Are you kidding me!

That's a government controlled by the avaricious and high-ranking Celestial Dragons!

That brat's tone is way too arrogant!

The key point is... you haven't forgotten that you still have a bounty of 50 billion on your head, have you?

However, only Kizaru felt not absurdity upon hearing these words, but endless bitterness.

If others don't know, how could he not know?

This little monster might actually have that kind of power!

Even the entire navy's top brass couldn't do anything about him, forcing the navy to lose face, halt the execution, and release him on the spot without charge!

Let him ask the World Government for some more privileges...

Even the Five Elders would probably have to swallow their pride and admit defeat!

The bear fell silent.

Within his modified body, human emotions were surging wildly.

A family reunited...

This was a scene he wouldn't even dare to dream of.

But in the end, he slowly shook his head.

"I refuse."

"All right."

Lynn seemed to have anticipated this outcome, and he continued, presenting his second condition.

"Then let's choose another one."

"Straw Hat Luffy is the son of the revolutionary Dragon."

"Isn't your goal simply to send Straw Hat and his companions away?"

"I can ensure that he and his crew leave here safely today."

Whoosh—!!!

The supernovas all stared wide-eyed.

The son of the revolutionary Long?!

That most vicious criminal in the world who wants to overthrow the world government?!

Straw Hat Luffy... is actually his son?!

No wonder this guy caused such a ruckus on Enies Lobby.

They made such a huge commotion, and yet nothing's happened... Turns out they have a powerful background!

At this moment, the bear's face turned extremely ugly!

He stared intently at Lynn, his eyes filled with astonishment.

this secret.

He deduced all of this through conversations with the dragon, and only told Vegapunk about it!

How did this brat know?!

Rayleigh's gaze, almost unconsciously, fell on Kizaru once again.

He was shocked to discover that, faced with such a shocking secret, Kizaru was still completely silent!

No denial!

No doubt about it!

There wasn't even a hint of surprise on their faces!

He simply stood there, silent, tacitly agreeing to everything Lynn said!

Rayleigh's heart sank completely.

He finally realized that the power possessed by this kid was probably beyond his imagination!

however.

To everyone's surprise.

Even after a fierce internal struggle, the bear still gave the same answer.

"I... refuse."

"How stubborn."

Lynn sighed, seemingly losing patience as well.

He looked up at the man before him, who was willing to give up everything for his daughter and for his promise, and uttered his last, and most insane, condition.

"I know that your greatest enemy in this life is one of the Five Elders, Jaigolusia Satan Saint."

"Is this correct?"

This statement came out.

The entire audience fell silent, even the sound of breathing ceased.

Everyone felt as if their heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand!

Five old stars!

Those are five people who stand at the pinnacle of world power!

He's like a god!

Why...why did he bring this up?!

Lynn's next words left everyone's minds completely blank.

"If I'm lucky, I'll capture him alive soon. Once you agree to join my ranks, I'll hand him over to you."

"If you're unlucky..."

"I might accidentally kill him."

"But no matter what, this Saint Satan's fate is definitely not good..."

"I've offered the maximum level of sincerity; you should seriously consider it."

Quiet.

Silence as death.

In front of a naval admiral, he said he wanted to kill the Five Elders, the world's highest authority.

crazy!

That kid is absolutely insane!!

This is beyond audacious!

This is a declaration of war against the entire world!

Kizaru unconsciously reached up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He wanted to escape.

He just wants to leave this troublesome place immediately!

Whether this little monster can actually do it or not is another matter, but if he says it, he'll definitely do it!

Satan Saint...

How did I manage to provoke this kid?

Lynn saw the violent fluctuations in Xiong's eyes and his unstable breathing, and knew that something was going to happen.

He pointed his little finger at Kizaru, who was almost unable to stand, and said in a childish voice.

"If you don't believe me."

"You can ask him."

"Ask him if I, Lynn, can do it?"

Swish-!

For an instant.

All eyes in the room immediately focused on Kizaru!

Rayleigh.

The Straw Hat Gang.

All the supernovae.

All the naval soldiers.

They are waiting.

We await the admiral's reply.

Time passed second by second.

Cold sweat poured down Kizaru's forehead like a waterfall.

"this……"

His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

He hesitated.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire world.

He actually hesitated!

boom--!!!!

The entire Sabaody Archipelago seemed to be completely ignited by this silent answer!

A naval admiral, hesitating?!

Is this... a tacit admission?!

Could it be...?

Could it be that this brat really... really possesses the strength to kill or even capture the Five Elders alive?!

Are you kidding me?!

What's wrong with this world?!

The bear's massive body trembled violently.

Hatred.

hope.

committed to.

reason.

Countless emotions were battling fiercely in his mind, almost burning his modified nerves to a crisp!

finally.

He slowly closed his eyes, and two silent tears slid down his mechanical face.

"Feel sorry……"

"I... or I still..."

He hadn't finished speaking when...

A piercing, nauseating scream came from not far away.

"Kizaru!! What are you dawdling for, you piece of trash!!"

Two obese figures riding slaves and wearing glass hoods walked over, cursing and swearing, surrounded by a group of bodyguards in black.

It was none other than the Celestial Dragon, Saint Roswald, and his daughter, Charlene!

They're here to find Luffy.

"That lowly commoner!" Charlia immediately spotted Luffy lying on the ground. She screamed and pointed at him.

"Kill him! Kizaru! I command you! Now! Immediately! Execute this lowly creature who dares to defy the gods!"

Roswald Saint also rebuked him in his extremely arrogant tone.

"Did you hear me! Navy! What are you waiting for?! Do you expect us to do it ourselves...?"

His words came to an abrupt end.

because.

A strange, ominous black flame suddenly burst into flames on his body and on his daughter Charlia Palace without warning!

"ah--!!!"
