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

"We lost..."

I don't know who it was, but with a trembling voice, they uttered those two words in despair.

These two words, like a heavy iron hammer, struck hard into everyone's heart.

My body, which had just been healed, turned cold once again.

The hope that had just been ignited was completely extinguished at this moment.

"How could this be..." BIGMOM's enormous face was filled with disbelief as she stared at the broken Buddha statue, her body trembling involuntarily.

"Even Lynn... he..."

Many powerful individuals clenched their fists, only to helplessly release them.

Faced with battles of that level, these so-called top experts didn't even have the right to intervene.

Garp's fists clenched so tightly they cracked. He stared intently at Boros in the sky, wanting to do something, but he knew it was all in vain.

Akainu, Sengoku, Kaido...

A shadow of despair hung over everyone's face.

however.

It was in this atmosphere of despair.

Within the naval camp, Vice Admiral Tsuru's wrinkled face remained calm.

Her gaze did not fall upon the dilapidated Buddha statue, nor upon the arrogant Boros.

Instead, it was fixed on the small, blurry figure inside the Buddha statue.

Her sharp, hawk-like eyes narrowed slightly.

Not right.

Something's really wrong.

The brat's aura was not disordered.

There wasn't even a wavering.

He remained calm.

It was so calm it was unsettling.

the other side.

In the ranks of the Red-Haired Pirates.

Ben Beckman's deep gaze also pierced through the layers of energy and landed on Lynn.

"Hey, Beckman," Yasopp's voice trembled slightly, "Should we...start making a runaway?"

Beckman did not answer.

He just looked at Lynn, his brows furrowed tightly.

This man...

He was too calm from beginning to end.

Whether Kaido is defeated or Barrett wins.

Whether it's everyone else being instantly killed or him himself falling into a disadvantageous position.

His expression, his breathing, his heartbeat remained unchanged.

This is not normal.

This is absolutely abnormal!

unless……

Unless all of this is still under his control!

An absurd yet heart-pounding idea began to frantically grow in Beckman's mind.

Could it be that……

This isn't even his limit?!

Just then.

above the sky.

As Boros looked at the dilapidated Buddha statue, the last trace of excitement in his single eye vanished completely.

Instead, there was pure, utter boredom.

"it's over."

He uttered three words calmly.

"A prophecy is, in the end, just a prophecy."

"What a... incredibly boring battle."

He slowly raised his hand, and in his palm began to condense a pure white energy ball that was more terrifying and filled with a more destructive aura than ever before.

That energy ball was constantly compressing and expanding!

The space around it distorted and groaned under the strain of this absolute power!

"In that case..."

Boros's cold, emotionless voice, like a final judgment, rang in everyone's ears.

"I'll take you, along with this boring planet."

"Disappear completely from the universe."

boom--!!!!

An apocalyptic aura that made the whole world tremble erupted from his body!

Everyone was overwhelmed by this aura and couldn't breathe!

Finished!

This time, it's really over!

That monster is going to completely destroy the entire planet!

however.

Just moments before that energy sphere, powerful enough to destroy a planet, was about to be released.

A calm voice suddenly rang out.

"I admit it."

Within the broken golden Buddha statue, Lynn's figure slowly raised his hand.

A simple action.

But this caused Boros's hand, which was about to swing, to suddenly stop.

His one eye narrowed slightly as he looked at the small figure.

"Boros".

Lynn's voice remained calm.

"You are qualified."

"You'll see my true strength when you see me."

For an instant.

The whole world fell silent.

Boros's expression froze.

Below, all the pirates and marines were stunned.

True...strength?

What does that mean?

Is it...

"Nonsense!" Boros was the first to react, his one eye flashing with disdain and rage! Even on the verge of death, he was still bluffing!

"You want to tell me this wasn't your full strength? How ridiculous!"

"Who do you think you can scare with this kind of trick?!"

Below, everyone looked on with surprise and uncertainty.

"Really?"

"Lynn kid...does he have even more powerful methods up his sleeve?"

"Impossible! This state is already godlike! How could there be something even stronger?"

"I'm afraid... it's just a delaying tactic... In the current situation, no method can stop that monster..."

Pessimism continues to spread.

They don't believe it.

They can't believe it.

however.

next second.

Respond to them.

Yes, a terrifying anomaly powerful enough to overturn the entire world!

boom--!!!!!!!!

Suddenly, the broken golden Buddha statue erupted with an unprecedented, extremely violent golden aura!

That was not the sacred and majestic radiance of before!

Rather, it is a pure, domineering golden aura filled with the will to fight and destroy!

At the heart of this blazing fire.

Lynn's black hair stood on end in an instant!

Then, under the utterly shocked gazes of everyone...

It was dyed a pure, dazzling gold!

A cold, emotionless emerald green had appeared in his golden pupils!

Super Saiyan bloodline!

open!

And with his transformation!

The golden Buddha statue, which was originally thousands of meters tall, suddenly grew taller once again!

It became larger and more solid, as if it could burst the entire sky!

A violent golden aura erupted from its body like a tsunami, completely engulfing the sacred Buddhist light. In its place, a dazzling golden light, like billions of bolts of lightning, filled the air!

Countless golden lightning bolts crackled and leaped wildly around the Buddha, tearing through space!

The mangled right shoulder and head, amidst golden flames and lightning, instantly reassembled at a speed a hundred times faster than before, restoring them to their original state!

The Buddha's compassionate face was now filled with a fighting majesty, and its pair of cold, huge emerald green eyes slowly opened, looking down at the tiny, dust-like Boros below!

Rumble rumble rumble rumble—!!!

At that moment, the entire planet trembled violently and frantically!

The atmosphere was torn open by that violent flame and lightning, creating a huge hole!

The sky is wailing!

The sea is roaring!

East China Sea.

Windmill Village.

The village chief Upus's usually stern face was now filled with terror. His legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees, trembling as he looked at the sky that had been dyed golden.

"What...what kind of miracle is this?!"

West Sea.

Frevans.

The once white city was now shaking violently, with countless citizens being thrown about and unable to stand. They looked up at the sky in terror, their eyes filled with despair.

"Is the world... about to collapse?!"

South China Sea.

Batalha Island.

The fishermen, who were busy in the harbor, watched in horror as the calm sea was suddenly churned into towering waves, and their boats were tossed about in the giant waves. They were so frightened that they fell to the ground.

"The sea god... is angry!"

The Grand Line.

The Seven Islands of Water.

President Iceberg stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, looking at the towering waves crashing on the distant sea and the distorted gold in the sky. An incredulous look of horror appeared on his usually calm face.

"This power...it's simply incredible!"

New world.

An unnamed pirate island.

A one-eyed pirate captain, who was drinking heartily, was so frightened by the terrifying pressure that suddenly descended from the sky that he dropped his wine glass. He tried to stand up, but his legs went weak, and he eventually knelt down, his face filled with fear.

"What...what kind of monster is this?!"

Every corner of the world.

Whether it's a king on high, a merchant with wealth beyond measure, or a commoner struggling to survive.

At this moment, everyone felt this terrifying, unparalleled tremor originating from the depths of the planet!

Under this godlike pressure, countless people's legs went weak, and they couldn't help but kneel down!

They looked up in horror at the sky that had been dyed golden.

"God...god..."

"It's the gods...being angry..."

Unconscious whispers, filled with awe and fear, echoed in every corner of the world.

……

on site.

"What...what the hell is this form?!"

Kaido's enormous dragon head remained frozen in mid-air.

He gazed at the golden Buddha statue, surrounded by billions of golden lightning bolts, so majestic that it could command the submission of the entire planet.

Feel the terrifying aura that, simply by existing, caused space to constantly distort and groan.

His prized physical body, which he claimed to be the strongest in the world, was utterly insignificant and laughable in the face of this power.

No.

It's probably not even worth a speck of dust!

A look of near bewilderment appeared on the weathered face of the white-bearded man.

Is this... all of Lynn's strength?

Are you kidding me!

This is no longer a question of whether something is powerful or not!

This is another dimension!

It is a realm of gods, which mortals can never reach!

"..."

Akainu fell silent.

The churning magma on his perpetually gloomy face subsided completely at this moment.

It wasn't that he wanted to calm things down.

Rather, they dare not.

Under that absolute, domineering pressure, the Magma-Magma Fruit power within him seemed to have encountered a natural monarch, suppressed to the point that he couldn't mobilize even the slightest bit of power.

How tragic.

How utterly powerless!

Sengoku period, Garp, Shanks, Big Mom...

All the top experts present, who had reigned over the sea for decades, fell into a long, deathly silence at this moment.

Their brains have completely shut down.

Boros previously called them ants.

They were angry, they were resentful.

Now, they truly understand.

That one-eyed bastard wasn't wrong.

Before true gods, they are indeed nothing but ants.

In this atmosphere of deathly silence, where time itself seemed to stand still.

above the sky.

Boros's face, which was etched with boredom and contempt, froze completely.

His single eye stared intently, unwaveringly, at the golden Buddha whose aura had undergone a dramatic transformation.

He stared into those cold, emotionless emerald green eyes that looked down at him.

He could sense it.

He could feel it clearly!

The immense energy within him, in its unleashed form capable of tearing apart stars, was trembling uncontrollably before this golden aura!

How is that possible?!

How is this possible?!

How could this guy's energy be above mine?!

Moreover, it's not just a little bit stronger!

Rather, it was crushing!

It is like the difference between heaven and earth, or the difference between the sea and the abyss—an absolute, insurmountable, dimensional gap!

"Ha ha……"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

Extreme horror and fear fermented wildly in Boros's heart!

Ultimately, it transformed into an unprecedented, morbid, and frenzied fighting spirit!

"That's it!"

"This is exactly what I wanted!"

"This is... the prophesied, destined battle!"

Boros roared to the sky, his single eye burning with a mad flame capable of incinerating everything!

He no longer hesitated!

He unleashed all the energy within him without reservation!

boom--!!!!

A pure white, extremely solid beam of energy shot up from his body, enveloping his entire body!

He transformed into a white, destructive meteor!

With a speed beyond the comprehension of everyone present, and with a force capable of shattering space itself!

It crashed fiercely into the towering golden Buddha statue!

This strike!

It brought together all his strength!

That was his strongest attack as the overlord of the universe!

however.

Faced with this earth-shattering collision.

The giant golden Buddha statue moved.

No.

To be precise, it was one of its thousands of arms that moved.

It simply, slowly, raised one finger.

A giant index finger, wrapped with billions of golden lightning bolts.

then.

Facing that white, destructive meteor that shot towards them.

Gently.

One shot.

A simple, even somewhat casual, movement.

There was no earth-shattering fanfare.

There were no earth-shattering energy fluctuations.

Only the purest, most fundamental, and absolute power.

next second.

Fingertips, and shooting stars.

They made contact quietly in mid-air.

At that moment, the entire world fell completely silent.

Followed by.

Amidst the utterly horrified gazes of everyone present, eyes wide enough to bulge out of their sockets.

That white, destructive meteor was powerful enough to sink continental plates in a single impact.

Beneath that golden fingertip.

Just like that, silently.

It's come to a standstill.

then.

Click.

A crisp, clear sound of shattering rang out on the deathly silent battlefield.

A fine crack appeared on Boros's body, which was enveloped in white energy.

Followed by.

Click! Click! Click! Click!

Countless cracks, centered on the point of contact, spread wildly throughout his body like a spider web!

puff--!

Boros's white energy in its liberated form, which covered his entire body, dissipated instantly, like a punctured balloon!

His body was indestructible, strong enough to withstand the explosion of a star.

His proudest achievement is the universe's most powerful regenerative ability.

With this gentle flick.

It is as fragile as dried-out rotten wood.

With a crash, it shattered!

It turned into countless pieces of blood and flesh!

"..."

"..."

"..."

Dead silence.

It remained, deathly silent.

Kaido's mouth was wide open, his jaw almost dislocated.

BIGMOM's eyes were wide open, almost popping out of their sockets.

Everyone's mind went completely blank.
