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

Marineford, on the battlefield.

The flames of war have turned this sacred naval site into a living hell.

boom!

A laser beam pierced precisely through Marco the Phoenix's chest.

"Marco!"

The Whitebeard Pirates gasped in surprise.

Marco coughed up blood in mid-air, and the wound on his chest healed rapidly in the blue flames, but his face turned a little paler.

"Damn seastone..."

He gritted his teeth and stared intently at the vice admiral in the distance, who was handcuffed but remained expressionless.

He was only grazed by the arm wearing seastone handcuffs, which temporarily caused him to lose his Devil Fruit ability, giving Kizaru an opportunity to take advantage of him!

the other side.

"Jozu!"

Diamond Jozu's half-body was completely frozen by Aokiji Kuzan's "Ice Age," causing him to crash heavily to the ground and lose consciousness.

Vista, the foil, was tightly entangled by Hawkeye Mihok and had no way to break free.

One by one, the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates were injured and fell.

The balance of power in the war began to tilt rapidly toward the navy at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The Whitebeard Pirates are beginning to show signs of defeat.

"Gurgle...cough cough cough..."

Whitebeard stood at the bow of the boat, watching his sons fall one by one, his aged heart feeling as if it were being torn apart by a knife.

His old injuries had flared up again, and coupled with the forced use of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit earlier, his body was nearing its limit.

On the execution platform.

As Sengoku watched the Whitebeard Pirates suffer defeat after defeat, and as he watched Whitebeard coughing up blood, a cold, confident look finally appeared on his usually taut face.

There's no such brat.

The biggest variable, Lynn the "Demon Child," was not present.

In the end, the war returned to a track he was familiar with and could control!

He can finally taste the sweetness of victory!

"All troops, listen to my command!"

The voice of the Warring States period, filled with unprecedented passion and confidence, resounded throughout Marineford!

"Intensify the offensive!!"

"Bury the entire Whitebeard Pirates here, leaving no one alive!"

"yes!!"

One hundred thousand elite naval troops, their morale greatly boosted, responded with a thunderous roar!

On the execution platform, Ace watched his fallen comrades and his father, who was locked in a fierce battle. His eyes, which always burned with fire, were now filled with anxiety and worry.

"hateful……"

"I won't die in a place like this!"

Beside him, Straw Hat Luffy still looked defiant, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

Snapped!

Snapped!

Two heavy iron fists landed mercilessly on the heads of the two men.

"You bastard!"

Garp stood behind them, blew the smoke off his fist, and cursed irritably.

"Wait until you reach the level of Lynn the Demon Child before you start spouting such nonsense!"

Ace and Luffy both trembled violently the moment they heard that name.

The image of that small figure simultaneously appeared in both of their minds.

That monster that could easily tear the sky apart with a single strike.

That boy who burned a Celestial Dragon to ashes in front of the whole world and treated a Marine Admiral like nothing... Demon Child.

The two fell silent.

All the resentment, all the grand pronouncements, seemed so naive and pale in the face of that name!

Just then.

blah blah blah blah...

A rapid, urgent Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scoop) rang beside Sengoku.

A naval messenger scrambled over, his face filled with undisguised horror!

"Marshal! Something terrible has happened!!"

"Imperial Castle... Impel Down has fallen!"

"Inspector Magellan...is seriously injured!!"

boom!!

These words struck the Warring States period like a bolt from the blue!

The excitement and confidence on his face vanished instantly, replaced by utter shock and disbelief!

"What did you say?!"

He snatched the Den Den Mushi and roared into the other end.

"Was it that brat who did it?!"

"Is that 'Demon Child' Lynn?!"

This moment is not just about the Warring States period.

Garp's movements froze.

The three admirals, Kizaru, Akainu, and Aokiji, all turned their gazes toward them!

The air around the execution platform seemed to be completely sucked out in that instant!

Everyone's heart was in their throat!

If it's that monster...

Then everything is over!

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, a subordinate's trembling voice came through.

"No...Reporting to the Marshal!"

"It's...it's the newly appointed Shichibukai, 'Blackbeard' Marshall D. Teach!!"

……

……

Black beard?

Upon hearing this name...

Zhan Guo was completely stunned.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable sense of relief, like surviving a disaster, surged through my entire body.

He completely relaxed.

"Oh, oh, it's that fat guy."

Kizaru reverted to his lazy demeanor and exaggeratedly patted his chest.

"That really startled me!"

As long as it's not that monster, Demon Child.

As long as it's not that monster, there's still a chance to salvage the situation!

"Blackbeard..."

Sengoku gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with renewed anger. He turned sharply to look at Garp beside him.

"Garp!"

"Go to Impel Down immediately!"

"We must not allow even one more of those heinous criminals to escape!"

Garp's brow furrowed deeply.

He glanced at Ace and Luffy on the execution platform, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes.

But he also knew what the fall of Impel Down meant.

"understood."

He agreed in a deep voice, turned around, and strode towards the port.

……

Impel Down, the underwater prison.

The sixth level, the infinite hell.

This place has been transformed into a bloody battlefield.

Of the countless legendary pirates, only a handful of the strongest survived the brutal battles.

"Thief! Hahahaha!"

Blackbeard Teach stood with his arms outstretched in the center of the mess, extending an invitation to the surviving monsters.

"Join my ranks!"

"Come with me and let's create a whole new era!"

However, he was met with undisguised mockery in response.

"You?"

A man exuding explosive power, Douglas Barrett, slowly emerged from the shadows, his eyes filled with contempt.

"Blackbeard, your strength is not enough to make me submit."

"Hehehehehehe!"

Another man, with a cigar in his mouth and a full head of blond hair, let out a piercing, maniacal laugh.

"On this vast ocean, besides Roger and Whitebeard, the only ones worthy of my attention right now are that brat Lynn!"

"Who do you think you are?"

Shiki the Golden Lion completely disregarded Blackbeard.

The smile on the black-bearded man's face froze slightly.

He couldn't refute it.

Because what they said was true.

That brat Lynn is indeed a monster whose strength is unreasonable.

"Thief, hahaha!"

But he quickly regained his carefree and unrestrained demeanor.

"That brat is definitely a monster!"

"but!"

At this moment, his eyes burned with an ambition and madness that could devour everything!

"Just you wait and see!"

"One day, I will surpass him! And become the one and only king of this world!"

The words fell.

An eerie silence descended upon the endless hell.

The legendary pirates' eyes subtly changed as they looked at Blackbeard.

"interesting."

Shiryu of the Rain, who had been leaning against the wall wiping his sword, slowly straightened up.

He walked up to the man with the black beard, a bloodthirsty smile curving his lips.

"Compared to that monster who has already reached the top, I'd rather see how far you, this arrogant fellow, can go."

Count me in.

The enormous "Evil King" Avalo Pizarro also emerged.

"And me!"

"Giant Battleship" San Juan Wolf.

"Moon Hunter" Katarina Demi.

One by one, the most vicious criminals chose to stand behind Blackbeard.

They were inspired by Blackbeard's unrealistic yet incredibly determined ambition.

at the same time.

Crocodile, Jinbe, and Ivankov also gained their freedom amidst the chaos.

"I'm going to Marineford!"

Jinbe's eyes were filled with unwavering determination. "I must go help Old Man!"

"Hehehe... I want to go too."

Crocodile exhaled a puff of cigar smoke.

"It's time to settle some old scores with that old man, Whitebeard."

"Hip-hop!!"

Ivankov perked up, "I heard that Straw Hat Luffy is Dragon's son, right? Then... of course I'm going to the top!"

"Take us with you!"

Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Robin, Nami, Chopper… all the Straw Hat crew members were now free. They declared with unwavering resolve, “We’ll risk our lives to rescue our captain!”

"Hurry, hopefully we can make it!"

Marineford.

They all had reasons why they had to go!

Immediately, they formed a team and rushed straight towards the exit.

During this time, Crocodile released Iron Man, and Bucky the Joker and others were also freed, shouting as they joined the prison break army.

As for Barrett, the Golden Lion, and the Red Earl, they are truly legendary monsters.

They were also released.

They immediately rejected the blackbeard's offer.

Blackbeard didn't dare to forcefully persuade him to stay.

We could only watch them leave helplessly.

Just as Barrett was passing by, he suddenly stopped and asked without turning his head.

"Where is that brat named Lynn?"

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in the black-bearded man's eyes.

A crazy idea popped into his mind.

"Thief! Hahahaha!"

He answered with a loud laugh.

"He's in Marineford!"

"They're probably just waiting for their chance to wipe out the navy and Whitebeard in one fell swoop!"

This statement came out.

Barrett, Golden Lion, Red Earl...

All the legendary monsters that were preparing to leave stopped in their tracks.

They all turned around in unison, their gazes, powerful enough to make the world tremble, focused on the black-bearded man!

"Oh?"

Barrett's lips curled into a fierce, warlike smile.

"interesting."

"Then I'll go and see what that brat is up to!"

"Hehehehehehe!"

The golden lion burst into excited laughter.

"Perfect!"

"I also want to settle old scores with the navy!"

"Then let's go and cause a huge scene!"

The Red Earl didn't speak, but his eyes gleamed with interest... Clearly, he also wanted to join in the fun!

Blackbeard watched their departing figures, trembling with excitement!

"Thief! Hahahaha!"

"Go! Go!"

"Go and turn Marineford upside down!"

"The more you cause trouble, the smoother my plan to seize the Tremor-Tremor Fruit will go!"
