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

[Ding! Host's power has begun to take shape. Guild development tasks are now being issued!]

The system's voice sounded again.

Lynn composed himself and listened with great interest.

[Task 1: Take Over the Nest!]

[Description: The name of the "God-Slaying Guild" has resounded throughout the world, but a guild without a fixed territory is ultimately just a rootless duckweed. Please, host, occupy a vast territory no less powerful than the "Four Emperors" as the guild's headquarters!]

[Reward: Two randomly selected personal abilities will have their stamina/energy consumption permanently reduced by 50%!]

Lynn raised an eyebrow.

This reward... is a godsend!

His biggest problem right now is that his skills are too powerful, and his mana consumption is too high.

He'll open the Death Gate, Ultra Instinct, or Susanoo at the drop of a hat, and he'll be bedridden for half a day after a fight.

If the cost of his two ultimate abilities can be reduced, his sustained combat ability will see a qualitative leap!

The advantages are obvious, but the disadvantages are equally clear.

How easy is it to occupy a territory comparable to that of the Four Emperors?

The cake of the new world has long been divided up.

To seize territory means to go to war with another of the Four Emperors, or several powerful forces.

This is no small matter.

[Task Two: Recruit Soldiers!]

[Description: A powerful guild cannot consist of only a guild leader. Please formally recruit three "General-level" combatants to join the guild, and you must not use force to coerce them.]

[Bonus: Kaioken's maximum multiplier increased to 5x!]

Lynn's breath hitched again.

Kaioken's power increased fivefold?

This reward is incredibly tempting.

His current physical strength is already at its limit when he activates the double Kaioken technique; any further and his body will be unable to withstand it.

However, if the system raises the upper limit, it means that his body can withstand a higher burst of power.

Our strength will leap forward once again.

But this task is even more absurdly difficult than the previous one.

How many general-level combatants are there on the entire ocean?

Which one wasn't a regional hegemon or held a high position?

He wanted three people like that to willingly join his guild and become his subordinates...

Even a child could tell how difficult it is.

[Task Three: Continue the Glory!]

[Description: To kill a god, one must act like one! Host, please strike again and kill two of the Five Elders!]

[Reward: Randomly obtain a magical item from the "Multiverse"!]

Lynn's gaze instantly turned extremely serious.

Ten thousand world props?

That sounds incredibly awesome.

But this mission is the most dangerous and the craziest of the three!

His ability to defeat Satan Saint this time was largely due to the element of surprise.

Now, the World Government and Im have definitely regarded him as their number one enemy.

The Five Elders will certainly be more vigilant and may not leave Mary Geoise so easily again.

Do you want to kill two more of the Five Elders in the Holy Land, right in front of Im?

This level of difficulty is hellish!

"This is forcing me to make the guild bigger and stronger..."

Lynn stroked his chin, a playful smile on his face.

Although each task is incredibly difficult, the rewards are so generous that they are hard to refuse.

"Challenges make things interesting."

boom!

Just then, the door to the room was violently kicked open.

A figure swaggered in, bringing with it a gust of wind.

"Little Lynn! You're finally awake!"

Yamato's handsome face was filled with undisguised joy, like a boy who had discovered a new toy, and he hugged Lynn tightly without any hesitation.

"Well……"

Lynn's face was buried in an amazing softness and fullness, and she almost couldn't breathe.

He struggled to lift his head, feeling the amazing elasticity, and sincerely praised it in his heart.

His mind is indeed very broad.

"Cough cough, that's enough, if you hug me any longer I'll strangle you."

Lynn nudged Yamato.

Yamato then laughed heartily and let go of his hand, showing no embarrassment whatsoever.

"Lynn! You're amazing! Those moves, you mean... Susanoo? And that barrage of beam attacks! Teach me!"

Her face was full of excitement and eagerness, like a student with a strong thirst for knowledge.

Lynn looked at her like this and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Teach you? Sure."

"However, if you want to learn from me, you have to have the right attitude first."

"Say something first, and if it satisfies me, I'll consider it."

Yamato immediately puffed out his chest and slapped it loudly.

"What are you saying? Speak!"

A hint of mockery flashed in Lynn's eyes.

"It's very simple."

"Just say, 'Kozuki Oden was an idiot.'"

As soon as he finished speaking, the excited expression on Yamato's face froze instantly.

The air fell silent.

Lynn watched her with great interest, eager to see how this woman, who constantly talked about "wanting to become Kozuki Oden," would react.

Is it rage?

Or should we just unleash a "Thunderous Eight Trigrams" attack?

However, to his surprise...

Yamato remained silent for a few seconds, then took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at Lynn with an unprecedentedly serious gaze.

"Kozuki Oden."

"He's an idiot."

Her voice was clear, firm, and without the slightest hesitation.

Now it was Lynn's turn to be surprised.

"Oh?"

He raised an eyebrow, genuinely somewhat surprised.

"You actually said that? I thought you were going to hit me with a stick. What? You've changed your mind? Don't you want to be Kozuki Oden anymore?"

Yamato shook his head, then nodded, his eyes filled with a clarity born of profound understanding.

"In the past, I thought Kozuki Oden was the most powerful and free man in the world. I admired him and wanted to become him and complete his unfinished work."

"but……"

Her gaze became incredibly intense as she stared intently at Lynn.

"I saw you at Marineford."

"You alone took on the entire world government, kicked the Five Elders, and shattered divine punishment with your fists!"

"You accomplished what Kozuki Oden wanted to do but couldn't!"

"He chose to believe, he chose to endure, and what was the result? He died, and Wano Country was ruled by my father for twenty years, with the people suffering terribly! Nothing changed at all!"

"His approach was naive and foolish!"

"And you, in the most direct and domineering way, trampled the dignity of the so-called 'god' and the world government under your feet!"

Yamato's fist clenched unconsciously.

"It was at that moment that I realized that simply imitating someone can never surpass them, let alone bring true freedom!"

"I don't want to be like Kozuki Oden anymore!"

"I want to be myself! Yamato!"

"Then, become as strong as you! No, stronger than you!"

Lynn listened quietly, the playfulness on her face slowly fading, replaced by a genuine smile of approval.

"very good."

"Promising!"

He patted Yamato on the shoulder.

"Let's go, I can hear the celebrations."

"I'll teach you slowly later, but whether you can learn it depends on your own destiny!"

……

……

Oni Island, banquet hall.

When Lynn's figure flew out and appeared before everyone.

"Ughhhhhh!!"

"Young Master!!"

"Young Master Lynn!!!"

A thunderous roar of cheers erupted!

All the members of the Beasts Pirates, from officers to soldiers, stood up. They looked at Lynn with eyes filled with fanatical worship and awe!

What an earth-shattering feat their young master has accomplished!

This is a monumental achievement worthy of being recorded in history, no, it is a monumental achievement worthy of being made history!

In a corner of the banquet.

Empress Hancock, Tyrant Kuma, and Bonney also stood up.

"President."

Hancock's stunningly beautiful face was flushed with a lovely blush, and her beautiful eyes were gazing at Lynn with such affection that it was almost overflowing.

Xiong nodded silently, a hint of genuine respect appearing on his usually expressionless face.

"President!"

Bonnie waved excitedly, her face beaming with the joy of surviving a close call.

Lynn smiled at them as a greeting.

Then, he walked to the very center of the banquet.

Kaido sat there with a huge gourd of wine in front of him. He looked at his son, his face, which was always filled with arrogance and fighting spirit, radiating an irrepressible pride and self-satisfaction.

"Oh my god...good son!"

He picked up his large gourd and handed Lynn a slightly smaller one.

"Come on! Drink with your father!!"

The father and son's wine gourds collided heavily, producing a dull thud.

Lynn tilted his head back, gulped down the wine in the gourd, and then wiped his mouth with a hearty laugh.

"Wow! Great!! That's wonderful!!"

Upon seeing this, Kaido let out a deafening laugh, raised his large gourd, and drank it all in one gulp.

Just then.

"Jhin the Flame" flew to Lynn's side.

His face, always hidden by a mask, revealed no expression, but his voice carried a hint of inquiry.

"Young Master Lynn."

"Outside, there are some people who have been waiting for quite some time."

"Should we meet him?"

Lynn was taken aback and casually asked, "Who is it?"

"Hawkeye Mihawk, Crocodile Crocodile, and Doflamingo Doflamingo."

"besides……"

Jin paused for a moment.

"Shiki the Golden Lion, Douglas Barrett, and the Red Earl."

Lynn's eyes narrowed slightly.

Good guy.

These people actually managed to find their way to Onigashima?

They even specifically asked to find me by name?

"Let's go take a look."

……

Oni Island, in the open space beyond the giant skull.

Several figures, some standing and some sitting, waited quietly.

The atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

Hawkeye Mihawk, holding the black sword "Night," closed his eyes to rest.

Crocodile puffed on a cigar, his face grim.

Doflamingo, on the other hand, wore a playful smile, seemingly lost in thought.

Meanwhile, the three legendary old monsters formed their own faction and ignored each other.

Sudden.

Everyone's movements stopped at the same time.

They all turned their gazes to the small figure floating in the sky.

That instant.

Whether it's Hawkeye's sharp eyes, Barrett's pupils burning with fighting spirit, or the Red Earl's deep eyes.

They all suddenly contracted!

They felt it clearly.

This little brat in front of me...

The faint aura emanating from him was even more profound and refined than during the Marineford War!

he……

It seems to have gotten stronger again!
