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

"Your opponent... is us!"

Shanks' voice is calm, yet it contains a weight heavy enough to shake the ocean.

This defensive line, composed of legendary pirates, stands like an insurmountable mountain range before the World Government.

Akainu, who was at the forefront, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

His face, which was etched with the image of "absolute justice," was twitching wildly.

Whitebeard! Red hair! Kaido!

In addition, there are monsters like the Golden Lion, Barrett, and the Red Earl, who only exist in legends!

Let alone the fact that they are now a defeated army, even if the Marine Headquarters were at its peak, plus the Knights of God and the Five Elders, they would have to think twice before facing these guys!

"Gurarararar..." The white-bearded man slammed his naginata down, his murky eyes sweeping over the ashen-faced government officials opposite him, before unleashing a deafening laugh.

"Come!"

"You government scum, let me see what else you've got up your sleeves!"

The massive body of Topman Vochuli's avatar, "Fengxi," trembled violently with extreme rage.

"Whitebeard! Red-haired! You bunch of pirate scum!"

"Are you going to wage all-out war against the World Government?!"

Shanks simply smiled slightly upon hearing this.

He didn't speak, but his calm gaze said it all.

The Warring States period was extremely grim.

He stared intently at the defensive line, his mind racing.

beat?

How do I play?

On their side, the Five Elders lost Saint Satan and crippled Saint Garin.

The remaining four were all injured.

The Knights of God suffered heavy losses.

He and Garp, the three admirals, had all suffered heavy losses in the previous battles.

On the other hand, look at the other side.

They were almost all at their peak!

If this battle really breaks out, they will undoubtedly lose!

"..."

The "Horse Bone," the incarnation of Izanbaron V. Nassjuro, had cold eyes that flickered with resentment and humiliation.

He knew that what the Warring States were thinking, he had also thought of.

Today, they can no longer kill that brat.

Continuing the fight will only make them pay an even heavier price.

In this tense atmosphere, where swords were about to be drawn and war was imminent.

hum-

A familiar yet somewhat weak aura emanated from Kaido's dragon back.

Although the momentum was weak, it was like a drop of cold water being poured into a boiling oil pan.

Instantly, the entire battlefield erupted into chaos!

"!!!"

On the World Government's side, everyone's pupils suddenly contracted!

Akainu's body, which was about to transform into its elemental form again, froze instantly.

The color drained completely from Sengoku's and Garp's faces.

The four Elders, with their massive bodies, instinctively took a half-step back!

This feeling...

It's that brat!

He's awake?!

Didn't he collapse from exhaustion?!

Could it be... could it be that I was just faking it all?!

He still has the energy for another kick?!

The mere thought of being kicked to pieces, rendering even immortality ineffective, sent a chill down the spines of all the high-ranking government officials.

"retreat!!!"

Nasujiro almost roared as he gave the order!

This time, no one objected!

No one dared to object!

"Quick! Retreat!!"

"Get out of here!!"

The World Government army, which had been so menacing and arrogant just moments before, completely collapsed at this moment.

They were in disarray, their armor and weapons scattered, and with every ounce of their strength, they fled frantically toward the port at a speed several times faster than when they arrived!

The scene was incredibly comical.

The pirates watched this scene with complex expressions.

"Gurrah... These guys are scared out of their wits... Just that brat's mere aura is enough to make them lose their minds."

White beard, red hair, and all the other top figures.

Everyone involuntarily looked at the tiny creature on Kaido's back.

And just as the World Government's forces completely disappeared from sight.

The aura that had just risen on Kaido's back instantly dissipated.

Lynn's head lolled to the side, and he lost consciousness completely.

"Good son!"

Kaido was startled and quickly and carefully checked Lynn's breathing with his dragon whiskers. He was relieved to find that Lynn was just asleep.

He turned his head, his huge dragon eyes looking at the redhead and the others, and spoke in a deep, gruff voice.

"This time, I owe you guys a favor."

"Let's go!"

Having said that, he didn't linger. His enormous dragon body soared into the air, carrying the unconscious Lynn, and flew away into the distance.

Whitebeard watched Kaido's departing figure, then turned around and waved his hand at his sons.

"Kids! Let's go home too!"

As the pirates gradually withdrew, the Marineford War, which had shocked the world, finally came to an end.

All that remained was the devastated ruins of Marineford, completely razed to the ground.

And a name that could drive the whole world crazy.

Lynn the Demon Child.

……

The war is over.

But its impact is only just beginning to unfold.

The whole world has gone mad.

Whether in a bustling city or a remote village.

Whether it's a high-end pub or a dirty street corner.

On the streets and in the alleys, during leisure time, everyone is talking about only one thing.

Marineford War!

"Did you see that?! That brat named Lynn! He's inhuman!"

"I saw it! One kick, one Elder! My God, I'll never forget that scene!"

"And that pillar of light that fell from the sky! It looked terrifying, but what happened? It was kicked back by someone!"

"That's awesome! This is truly the strongest man in the world! Whitebeard is no longer worthy of that title!"

"Godslayer Guild! Just listen to that name! How awesome! I've made up my mind! From today onwards, I'm Lord Lynn's number one fan!"

"I want to join the God-Slaying Guild too! I'll follow Lord Lynn and crush those damn Celestial Dragons!"

Countless passionate young people were captivated by Lynn's domineering and unparalleled demeanor.

They put up posters of Lynn by their beds and tattooed the name of the "Godslayer Guild" on their bodies, regarding him as their new faith and a new god!

A wave known as "god-killing" is sweeping across the globe!

……

The Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

Pangu City, a place of power struggles.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Saints Nassoulan, Wochuli, Mas, and Peter, the four elders, were kneeling on one knee, their heads bowed low, not daring to even breathe.

Beside them was Figarand Garin, who had just woken up and whose face was as pale as paper.

He too knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly from weakness and shame.

Before them lay the empty throne, a symbol of supreme power in the world.

On the throne, a solitary figure stood silently.

Im.

He did not speak, but simply looked quietly at the five disheveled servants below.

But that silent gaze terrified the five more than any harsh rebuke.

Cold sweat streamed down their foreheads.

"Lord Im... your subordinate... deserves to die!"

Garin struggled, using all his strength to slam his head heavily onto the ground.

"Your subordinate is incompetent. Not only did you fail to kill that traitor, but you also caused the loss of Satan, disgracing the World Government... Please, Lord Im... punish me!"

That supreme, emotionless voice slowly rose.

"The punishment must be handed down."

Im slowly raised his hand.

"But not now."

"Satan is dead, and one of the Five Elders is now vacant."

"From today onwards, Figarand Garin, you will take his place."

Galin Sheng suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"This... Lord Im! I am a guilty man, how could I possibly be worthy of such a position..."

"That's an order."

Im's voice was beyond question.

"Go and atone for your crimes by performing meritorious service."

He slowly descended from the throne, step by step, toward the wall where the bounty posters were displayed.

Finally, His steps stopped before the wanted poster of the demon child Lynn, whose eyes were pierced by a black longsword.

He stretched out his slender fingers and gently stroked the innocent yet extremely arrogant smiling face on the bounty poster.

"The God-Slaying Guild..."

A playful, cold smile curved at the corners of Im's lips.

"It's been... a very long time since anyone dared to utter those two words in front of me."

He slowly turned around, his eyes, like those of a chakra, sweeping over the five servants below.

"Lynn must be eliminated!"

"The God-Slaying Guild must be destroyed!"

"Next."

"I will personally lead the expedition to vanquish the demon child Lynn!"

Upon hearing this, all five elders, including the newly appointed Garin Sei, were shaken to their core!

Lord Im is going to take action personally?!

This is an unprecedented event in the last eight hundred years!
