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

Shock.

stunned.

Im's inhuman face, now only half its original size, was completely distorted by extreme shock and humiliation.

His plan, his last and most vicious bargaining chip, became a complete joke in the face of Kaido's reckless suicide!

"You...you all..."

"They're all crazy!!"

A venomous roar, driven to its extreme, burst from His broken throat, carrying a hatred powerful enough to freeze the soul.

however.

Lynn gave him no further opportunity to vent his emotions.

boom--!!!

The golden Buddha that had just vanished has reformed and taken shape once more!

Although the light was much dimmer than before and the size had shrunk considerably, the divine and awe-inspiring aura that reigned supreme still made the entire world tremble!

Behind the giant Buddha, hundreds of Buddha hands blot out the sky!

No words were spoken.

There was no standoff.

Only attack!

The sky was filled with golden fist imprints, like a raging storm, carrying a will capable of crushing everything, and they slammed down on the location of Im!

Each punch tore through the air!

Every punch distorted space!

"Lynn!!"

Im roared in shock and rage. He wanted to retaliate, but the golden, domineering will within him was like a leech, relentlessly eroding his foundation, making it incredibly difficult for him to even mobilize his power!

escape!

This was the first and only thought that arose from the depths of His soul after He had reigned over the world for eight hundred years!

hum-

A pitch-black, extremely unstable magic circle frantically unfolded behind him.

"I'll remember you!!"

"I will tear you to pieces!!"

Just a second before being completely engulfed by the countless Buddha hands, Im, filled with endless resentment, plunged headfirst into the unstable spatial rift, disappearing in a sorry state from everyone's sight.

Rumble rumble rumble—

Hundreds of Buddha's hands, now without a target, slammed violently onto the empty sea, creating towering waves hundreds of meters high, venting their master's rage.

for a long time.

The wind is calm, the waves are still.

The giant golden Buddha slowly dissipated.

An eerie silence fell over the battlefield.

The World Government's strongest military force was completely wiped out.

The world's king, Im, was severely injured and fled.

This epic battle at the summit, which swept the world and overturned everyone's understanding, came to an end in this way.

……

On the ruins of the Sky Island.

Sengoku, Garp, Red Earl... all the surviving strongmen stared blankly at this scene.

ended?

Has that monster who ruled the world for eight hundred years escaped?

This war between gods and demons, a war that would go down in history, ended in such a dismal way.

Everyone around the world, everyone who saw this through the live stream, felt a tremendous sense of unreality.

They witnessed the fall of the Five Elders.

They witnessed the complete annihilation of the Knights of God.

I witnessed the King of the World's pathetic escape.

It also witnessed... the heroic sacrifice of a maritime emperor.

All nations, Totland.

As BIGMOM watched the figure plummeting into the deep sea on the screen, a complex emotion, bordering on reverence, appeared on his enormous face for the first time.

"That bastard Kaido... at least he died with some backbone."

"Mamamama...what a...foolish man."

The Red-Haired Pirates.

"captain……"

Ben Beckman exhaled a smoke ring, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"Kaido...is dead."

Red-haired Shanks didn't speak. He simply took off his straw hat, pressed it to his chest, and bowed slightly towards the screen.

That was a respectable, true opponent.

Ghost Island.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa! Boss Kaido!"

Countless members of the Beast Pirates watched the screen and let out mournful wails.

Jin lowered his head and remained silent.

Quinn was unusually silent, not even smoking a cigar.

Only Jack the Drought roared angrily and smashed everything around him.

They simply couldn't believe that their boss, Kaido, was gone!

God-Slaying Island.

Doflamingo pushed up his sunglasses, concealing the shock in his eyes.

"That was truly... heroic."

Crocodile remained silent, but his cigar burned a little faster.

Empress Hancock covered her mouth, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at the small figure on the screen.

Her father died in front of her.

How sad Lynn must be right now?

however.

Just as the whole world was immersed in a complex emotion.

Another voice echoed in Lynn's mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host has completed the hidden mission: Destroy the King of the World!]

[Rewards are being distributed...]

[Congratulations, host, on acquiring a new ability: Super Saiyan bloodline!]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a new item: the House of Time and Spirit!]

Lynn raised an eyebrow slightly.

Two completely different, yet equally massive, streams of information, powerful enough to overturn the world, instantly flooded his mind.

First, there is the "Super Saiyan bloodline".

That's neither a skill nor a technique.

Rather, it is a leap in the level of life!

A legendary stance that lies dormant in the deepest part of the blood of the fighting nation!

Once transformed, the user's hair will turn into a dazzling gold, standing on end, their pupils will turn into a clear emerald green, and their entire body will be engulfed in golden, flame-like fighting spirit!

What this brings is an explosive increase in basic combat power!

What's even more terrifying is that this posture can be perfectly combined with all his existing abilities!

A Super Saiyan who opened the Eight Gates of Death and burned his life force into red steam?

A Super Saiyan who has entered the state of Ultra Instinct, surrounded by a divine silver glow?

even……

A towering, fully-formed Susanoo, no longer crimson or azure, was entirely dyed a sacred and domineering golden Buddha, its thousand hands waving behind it, each strike carrying fifty times the destructive power?!

This is no longer a cheat.

This is directly modifying the server code!

The other reward, the "House of Time and Spirit," stirred up even more waves in Lynn's heart.

It is an absolute subspace, independent of the world.

In this world, the flow of time is completely different from that in the outside world.

A year has passed internally, but only one day has passed externally!

Furthermore, the gravity within this space is ten times that of the normal world, which has unparalleled benefits for tempering the physical body.

The key is.

Everything in this space is subject to the user's will.

Do you want a sea of ​​lava to cultivate in?

The moment a thought crossed my mind, a raging inferno lay beneath my feet.

Do you want a 10,000-meter-deep ocean to simulate pressure?

With a single thought, endless deep blue enveloped him.

Even more impressively, it can simulate any enemy it has ever fought before, based on memory, to serve as the perfect sparring partner!

Add to that the endless supply of high-energy food that can be conjured at will...

This is simply the most perfect, ultimate cultivation holy land, existing solely for the purpose of "becoming stronger"!

With it, Lynn could push his strength to a new peak that even he himself could not imagine in a very short time!

but……

Let's forget about cultivation and such.

He'd rather spend more time enjoying himself.

Moreover, now that we have the Super Saiyan bloodline, we can flatten the world with a flick of our fingers. What's a little bit of training strength compared to that?

Just as Lynn was pondering this.

Below, a figure soared into the sky and landed beside him.

It's Shiki the Golden Lion.

He looked in the direction where Im had disappeared, then glanced down at Kaido, who was falling. His face, which was always filled with arrogance, was now filled with rage and grief.

"Lynn! What are you standing there for!"

"Go after him! We absolutely can't let that bastard get away!"

"Kaido's revenge must be taken!"

however.

Lynn merely glanced at him indifferently.

"What's the rush?"

He can't escape.

"My final strike has infused his 'Imperial Haki' into the very essence of his soul."

"Even if he escapes to the ends of the universe, he will only be completely obliterated by my Imperial Haki, bit by bit, from the inside out."

"He's already dead."

The golden lion was taken aback.

Imperial color?!

But on second thought, it makes sense.

The golden color of the Overlord was unprecedented and unheard of... Lynn was the first and only one to achieve this.

Imperial color, nothing could be more fitting.

Looking at Lynn's extremely calm expression, his rage gradually subsided, turning into endless sorrow.

He sighed deeply, watching the figure about to fall into the sea.

"Ugh... Kaido, that bastard..."

"I told him long ago to stop thinking about dying, and now look what happened, he's really dead..."

"That bastard got off too easy."

The Navy faction, including Garp and Sengoku, also had complex expressions.

Although they were enemies, Kaido's death still made them feel a sense of loss and regret at the end of an era.

however.

Just when everyone thought that everything had been settled.

Lynn suddenly spoke up.

That slightly immature yet undeniably authoritative voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

Who told you that?

"My father is dead?"

"..."

For an instant.

The whole world fell silent.

The golden lion's expression froze.

Garp, Sengoku, and the three admirals below were all dumbfounded.

The entire world, all viewers watching the live stream, experienced a simultaneous brain freeze.

What is that?

He's not dead?

What kind of international joke is this?!

With his heart pierced, he deliberately sought death. Even a god couldn't save him!

Golden Lion was the first to react. He turned sharply to look at Lynn, his eyes gleaming with disbelief.

"You mean...you can save him?!"

"No! Your healing abilities are indeed strong, but that's only true if the person is still alive!"

"Kaido... his life force has completely vanished! He's utterly dead!"

"you……"

Lynn did not explain.

He simply descended slowly towards the sea below.

He stretched out his little hand.

hum.

An invisible force probed into the deep sea.

next second.

Whoosh—!

The sea broke open, and Kaido's enormous dragon-man body was lifted by the seawater, slowly rising into the air.

That body no longer showed any signs of life.

The gaping, gruesome hole in his chest silently testified to the horrific scene he had just witnessed.

Everyone who saw the body instinctively turned their head away.

He died a very thorough death.

How can we save this?

Right under everyone's watchful eyes.

Something appeared out of thin air in Lynn's hand.

That was a piece of... cloth?

A plain-looking square piece of red and white checkered cloth.

It's like... like a tablecloth laid out on the grass during a picnic.

"?"

"What is that thing?"

"A rag?"

"Why is Demon Child Lynn taking out that cloth? To cover Kaido, so he can leave with some dignity?"

The whole world was stunned.

I completely don't understand this move.

Lynn ignored everyone's gaze.

He simply took that seemingly ordinary "time wrapping cloth" and gently placed it over Kaido's skin.

then.

Under the gaze of billions of people around the world, a mixture of doubt, bewilderment, and absurdity.

Miracle.

happened.

The moment that checkered cloth covered the skin.

A soft halo of light, indescribable in words, emanated from beneath the cloth.

Followed by.

The most unbelievable, mind-blowing, and illogical scene has unfolded!

The gruesome bloody hole in Kaido's chest, the torn flesh, the shattered internal organs, the broken bones...

In everyone's eyes, it began to regress at a visible speed!

No, that's not healing!

That was a more bizarre, more illogical... time reversal!

It's like pressing the rewind button on a videotape!

The rolled-up skin and flesh became flat again.

The shattered internal organs were restored to their original shape.

The broken bones were perfectly pieced together.

That gruesome, gaping hole, large enough to spell death for any living being, shrank rapidly, and shrank even further, within mere seconds…

finally.

Completely disappeared!

Kaido's muscular chest returned to its original state, smooth as ever, without even a scar left!

"..."

"..."

"..."

The world has fallen silent.

Everyone's mind went completely blank.

What did they see?

Time travel?

The injuries...have healed?

Do not!

That's not healing!

That would completely erase the fact of being "injured" from the timeline!

Lynn slowly retracted the "time bundle".

Kaido's massive body floated silently on the sea, his chest intact and his breathing steady, as if he were simply asleep.

Lynn flew in front of him, stretched out her foot, and gently kicked him in the face.

"Don't sleep."

"Get up quickly."

next second.

Kaido's tightly closed dragon eyes suddenly opened.

Open your eyes!

"Um?"

He sat up abruptly, looked around blankly, then looked down at his perfectly intact chest, and even reached out to touch it.

smooth.

smooth.

Nothing's wrong.

"I...am I not dead?"

For the first time, Kaido's face, which was always etched with tyranny, revealed an expression that could only be described as adorable and utterly bewildered.

"Didn't I... just poke myself?"

After a deathly silence lasting several tens of seconds, the whole world was stunned.

With a deafening roar, it exploded!

"He...he's alive?!"

"Are you kidding me?! The dead have come back to life?!"

"That tablecloth... what on earth is that tablecloth?! A miracle?!"

"This is fucking... ten thousand times more outrageous than that monster Im!!"
