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

Steelbone Kong's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing all the naval high command officers, who had just recovered from their shock, to feel a sudden tightness in their hearts.

Yes.

Im escaped.

The Five Elders and the Knights of God were also wiped out.

But what about them?

These were the Marines who had once served the World Government, and had even just been manipulated by Im, and were now turning their swords against Lynn.

What should I do?

In an instant, the eyes of Sengoku, Garp, the three admirals... everyone focused on that small figure, and the atmosphere became extremely solemn.

Whether one lives or dies, whether one seeks retribution or forgiveness, it all depends on the other person's decision.

Upon hearing this, Lynn merely raised his eyelids and glanced at them indifferently.

"What to do?"

He repeated the word, his tone devoid of any emotion.

"Starting today."

"The God-Slaying Guild has officially been upgraded to the 'Justice League'."

"I invite you, the entire Navy, to join us."

"..."

"..."

The entire battlefield fell silent for three seconds.

The solemnity on Steelbone's face instantly turned into astonishment.

Even the usually taut face of the Warring States Marshal showed an unusual blankness.

Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru, the three admirals, were all stunned and stood there in place.

Admirals Green Bull and Isaac, who were watching the live stream, were equally astonished.

join in?

Invite them...to join?

This is unlike any script they had envisioned!

"You can continue being the navy, catching pirates, and upholding what you believe to be justice."

Lynn's voice continued calmly.

"You don't need to obey any of my orders unless you choose to."

"I will not interfere with any of your actions."

These words completely shut down the minds of all the high-ranking naval officers.

What does this mean?

Nothing changes?

And they don't even have to obey his orders?

Is there really such a good thing in the world?

This treatment is too good!

Just as they were finding it hard to believe this sudden "preferential treatment," Lynn changed the subject.

"but."

"There is one condition."

Everyone's hearts were in their throats again.

They knew things weren't that simple.

Lynn's golden eyes swept over everyone present, and his emotionless gaze exerted an invisible pressure on everyone.

"Purge all Celestial Dragons."

"Not one left."

The words fell.

Garp was the first to burst into deafening laughter!

"Hahahaha!"

He slammed his fist into his palm, and his face, which always wore a hearty smile, was now filled with excitement and exhilaration!

"This is good!"

"I've long disliked those scumbags living in their bubble!"

Count me in!

Without any hesitation, he was the first and most decisive to state his position.

Kizaru pushed up his sunglasses, revealing a meaningful expression on his usually lazy face.

"Oh my... what amazing conditions!"

"But it doesn't sound so bad."

He shrugged, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Akainu and Aokiji exchanged a glance.

The former's belief in "absolute justice" had long been shattered by Im's actions.

The latter's "lazy justice" means he is indifferent to such matters.

Moreover, compared to being purged, simply cleaning up a bunch of useless people is practically a freebie!

"I have no objection," Aokiji Kuzan was the first to speak.

Sakazuki, the Red Dog, was silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice.

"Can."

Sengoku and Steel Bone Sky exchanged a glance, both seeing a sense of relief in each other's eyes.

This is the best possible ending.

The navy's structure was preserved, and their justice could continue to be upheld.

"good!"

"We agree!"

Steelbone, representing everyone, gave the final answer.

And at the very moment they reached an agreement.

Lynn's voice once again resounded throughout the world.

That wasn't through Den Den Mushi, but through a more domineering transmission of will that directly affects everyone's mind!

"Listen up, people all over the world."

"From this day forward, the World Government ceases to exist, and the era of the Celestial Dragons comes to a complete end."

"I, Lynn the Demon Child, hereby declare the formation of the Justice League."

"I invite all forces on this sea, whether it be the Navy, the Four Emperors, the Revolutionary Army, or anyone with the ability, to join me."

These words were like throwing a red-hot iron into a calm pan of oil!

The whole world instantly erupted in excitement!

The World Government... is gone?

The Celestial Dragons... are they really finished?

After a brief moment of shock, an even stronger emotion called "fear" and "doubt" spread wildly in the minds of leaders of all forces around the world!

Justice League?

Invite all factions to join?

This is hardly an invitation!

This is clearly a declaration!

A new emperor is about to ascend the throne!

Is he... going to unify the entire world?!

All nations, Totland.

"Mamamama..."

The smile vanished from BIGMOM's enormous face instantly, replaced by an unprecedented gloom.

She stared intently at the screen, her eyes flashing with a savage, murderous light.

"The Justice League?"

"That brat... he defeated Im, gathered the Navy, and now he wants to gather me too?"

"I absolutely have to find Kaido and have a serious talk with him!"

Katakuri and Perospero, who were standing to the side, silently shook their heads.

Let's talk about it.

If that devil is really going to do that, then nothing we say will make a difference!

However, given the current situation...

They can only talk about it... What if they really take action?

Do not make jokes.

That's a true monster that even Im could defeat head-on!

The Red-Haired Pirates.

"What's this kid up to?"

"All factions have to join? Is this even considered an invitation?"

"He's trying to establish an absolute dictatorship that places him above everyone else!"

The officials were discussing it animatedly.

Red-haired Shanks remained silent.

He just stared silently at the screen, his usually carefree face now showing only solemnity.

Unify the world?

This will shatter the balance of the ocean and bring an even more terrifying darkness than during the Celestial Dragons' reign!

"Should we... refuse?" Yasopp's voice was hesitant.

"reject?"

Raki Lu mumbled as he gnawed on a chicken leg.

"Isn't that tantamount to declaring war on him?"

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Revolutionary Army Headquarters.

The dragon's face was so gloomy it was almost as if water could drip from it.

Sabo, Kerla, and all the revolutionary army cadres behind him were filled with shock and resentment.

"Are you kidding me!"

One of the cadres couldn't help but growl.

"We've fought for so many years to overthrow the Celestial Dragons' dictatorship!"

"Now that we've finally succeeded, are we about to welcome a new, even more powerful dictator?!"

Long didn't speak, but his fists were clenched so tightly they were cracking.

His lifelong goal was freedom.

What Lynn is doing now is the exact opposite of freedom!

He couldn't accept it!

of course.

What's most unacceptable is that Lynn is stronger than Im... and by more than ten times!

A new world, on countless islands.

The notorious pirates were in an uproar after hearing this declaration!

"Join the Justice League? To become their dog?!"

"Bullshit! I've been at sea for so many years, all I want is freedom! Nobody can tell me what to do!"

"Damn it! This demon child Lynn is even more domineering than the World Government!"

"No! We must refuse! The worst that can happen is death!"

The crowd was immediately agitated!

Countless pirate factions have shown strong resistance to this so-called "Justice League".

They were scared.

They feared that this man who had just killed a god would next target them, the "remnants of the old era" who refused to obey orders, for a thorough and bloody purge!

however.

Just as the whole world was gripped by panic and anger because of this declaration.

Lynn's voice, once again, resounded in everyone's minds.

This time, his voice carried an unprecedented solemnity.

"I did this for only one reason."

"An enemy, more powerful and terrifying than Im, is about to arrive in this world."

"I need the strength of all of you."

"Unite and fight together!"

boom--!!!!

If the previous declarations were bombs, then this one is a nuclear bomb capable of overturning the entire planet!

Stronger than Im...?

How is this possible?!

That monster that could resurrect the dead, corrupt the will of the strong, and ultimately become a demon, wasn't even the strongest?!

This is outrageous enough!

but.

What truly broke them down was what happened next.

On the battlefield.

Kaido, who had just been resurrected and was still in a daze, asked a question instinctively.

"Even better than that bastard?"

"Could it be... that I'm stronger than you, kid?!"

This question reflects the sentiments of everyone in the world.

Yes.

No matter how strong Im is, you beat him so badly he had to run away like a dog.

Is there anyone in this world stronger than you?

That's absolutely impossible!

however.

Lynn looked at his father and nodded gently.

"That's possible."

In a word.

Just this one sentence.

But like a thunderclap at the beginning of creation, it resounded in the minds of billions of people around the world!

"..."

"..."

"..."

Dead silence.

Utter silence.

The whole world, everyone felt their hearts being gripped tightly by an invisible hand!

It's easier to say that he's stronger than Im.

But stronger than Lynn the Demon Child… that monster who just displayed godlike power?!

That's beyond outrageous!

That was utter, incomprehensible, unimaginable, absolute despair!

If they were only afraid of being purged by Lynn before...

So now, what they fear is the destruction of the entire world!

The resistance and resentment caused by being "forced to take sides" were completely washed away in the face of this fear that was enough to devour everything!

Are you kidding me!

Even Lynn the Demon Child admitted that the enemy was stronger than him!

How can we fight like this?!

Are we just waiting to die?!

In an instant, the world's attitude underwent a stunning 360-degree reversal!

"Justice League"!

They must join!

This isn't about pledging allegiance to anyone; it's about survival!

In order to seize that glimmer of hope in the impending apocalyptic catastrophe that will affect the entire world!

As this final declaration fell to the ground.

Live streams around the world turned into static and went completely shut down.

This war, which overturned eight hundred years of history, has finally come to a true end.

But the aftershocks it has caused are only just beginning to take effect.

……

On the battlefield.

Golden Lion and Kaido rushed to Lynn's side immediately.

"Hey! Lynn!"

Shiki the Golden Lion's expression was more serious than ever before.

"Were you telling the truth just now?!"

"There really is an enemy stronger than you? Don't try to scare me!"

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh!"

Kaido shook his still dizzy head, his dragon eyes fixed on his son.

"You're not just making this up to deceive people in order to unify the world, are you!"

It's not just them.

Garp, Sengoku, Red Earl... all the surviving powerhouses present gathered around, their faces filled with the same questions and shock.

Lynn looked at them and simply said something.

"It's my gut feeling."

"I can sense an aura far larger and more malevolent than Im's, rapidly approaching us from the other side of the universe."

Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.

Even Lynn said so, so it must be true!

"so."

Lynn looked around at everyone.

"In order to prepare for the upcoming battle, all of you need to become stronger."

"Oh my gosh..."

Kizaru pushed up his sunglasses again and said in his signature, punchable tone.

"If even you admit you can't defeat the enemy, what help can we possibly offer?"

"Were we just feeding the enemy?"

Although it sounds harsh, it is the truth.

Even Lynn found the enemy troublesome; if these people went up against them, they probably wouldn't even be considered cannon fodder.

"I'll deal with the strongest one."

"Lynn said."

"But it's impossible for only one of them to come."

"You'll have to deal with the rest of the rabble."

"and……"

A slight smile curved Lynn's lips, and his golden eyes gleamed with a penetrating light.

"I won't let you work for nothing."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

It swept past Shiki, Garp, Sengoku, Red Earl, and the three admirals of the Navy...

then.

He threw out a bargaining chip that no one could refuse, a chip that was enough to drive them completely mad.

"Who can defeat an enemy?"

"I'll give someone a chance to use the 'time baggage' once."

"..."

For an instant.

The whole world seemed to have been muted.

Shiki the Golden Lion's breath hitched, and his arrogant eyes instantly ignited with a flame of desire!

He also had family and friends.

But they all perished in years of fighting.

To now have the opportunity to revive them all is simply...

Marshal Zhan Guo's eyes flickered violently as a figure wearing a heart-shaped hat and a blond child who was always causing trouble flashed alternately before his eyes.

Rosinandi...

For the first time, the Red Earl Redfield's scarlet eyes, which always held an air of aloofness and indifference, ignited with a burning flame.

Even the naval admirals were the same.

Resurrect the dead!

Make up for the regret!

Rewrite the past!

No one can resist this temptation!
