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

Kaido's enormous mouth slowly opened, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

BIGMOM's previously stiff smile came back to life.

Akainu's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

White beard, red hair, Sengoku period, Garp...

All the most powerful monsters present, who had reigned over the sea for decades.

At that moment, a feeling of surprise welled up in everyone's chest.

"Ooh o ...

next second!

Kaido's suppressed ecstasy erupted into a deafening roar that shook the entire ruins!

"Did I hear that right?!"

"Lynn, are you serious?!"

His enormous dragon eyes burned with an unprecedented, frenzied flame!

"Those methods of yours... we can really learn them all? And actually master them?!"

"mamamamama!!"

BIGMOM also let out a maniacal, incredulous scream!

"You brat! You're not allowed to lie!"

"Guralalalalalalalala!"

The white-bearded man laughed wildly, his entire aura becoming more exhilarating than ever before!

"Good! Very good! Kid, you said it yourself!"

Red-haired Shanks grinned, revealing a smile more radiant than ever before.

Akainu, Sengoku, Garp...

The gloom of despair on everyone's faces was swept away!

Instead, there is pure, intense, unparalleled fervor and excitement!

hope!

Do not!

This is not hope!

This is a miracle, a meteoric rise to the top!

They will have the opportunity to reach the realm of the gods, a realm they can barely even look up to!

……

In the vast depths of the universe.

A huge spherical spaceship is silently suspended in the dark vacuum.

Inside the spacecraft's control room.

A pink-skinned, bloated alien was idly gnawing on the thigh of an unknown creature.

It was Dodoria.

Sudden.

The combat capability detector on his waist emitted a sharp, urgent alarm.

Beep beep beep beep beep!

"Um?"

Dodoria paused, glancing at the probe with a puzzled expression.

On the screen, a distant coordinate point is flashing red light frantically.

"A planet with signs of life? And... this fluctuation in combat power..."

He frowned and reached out to manipulate the detector a few times.

however.

No matter how he adjusted it, the area on the screen representing the combat power value was always a jumble of random characters, jumping wildly, making it impossible to pinpoint a specific number.

"What happened?"

The ease on Dodoria's face vanished, replaced by a serious expression.

His detector is the latest model!

Why can't the reading be read?

He dared not delay, immediately dropped the food in his hand, and scrambled towards the main control room at the deepest part of the spaceship.

Inside the main control room.

A short, pale-skinned alien with purple armor covering his head and shoulders was elegantly seated on a floating throne, holding a glass of red wine.

It was none other than the Emperor of the Universe, Frieza.

Before him stood a green-skinned alien, Sabo, who was reporting something.

"King Frieza!"

Dodoria rushed in, knelt on one knee, and spoke with a hint of urgency in his voice.

"Oh?"

Frieza didn't turn his head, but simply swirled his wine glass gently and asked in his characteristic, effeminate tone.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"

"It's...it's a probe!" Dodoria reported. "A planet with extremely high levels of life activity has been discovered in the Z-98 star system!"

"Moreover...moreover, the combat power fluctuations emanating from that planet are extremely strong! So strong that...even the latest detectors cannot determine the specific values!"

"Oh ho ho ho ho..."

Frieza let out his signature laugh, and slowly turned around, a hint of curiosity shining in his blood-red eyes.

"Combat strength whose numerical value cannot be measured?"

"That's really interesting."

He turned his gaze to Sabo.

"However, news about the Dragon Balls is more important than that."

He licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with greed.

"That wish... that's what I need most."

He hesitated for a moment, then a cruel smile curved his lips.

"In that case, I can't let that interesting little planet spoil my enjoyment."

He gave the order into the communicator.

"Notify the Ginyu Force."

"Let them go to the Z-98 star system with the two of you."

"Clean up all the breathing garbage on that planet."

"Oh ho ho ho... Perfect, let them stretch their muscles too."

……

a few days later.

Mental Time Cabin

Inside the cabin, time flows at a completely different pace than outside.

At this moment, all the surviving strongmen stood quietly in this space, some sitting cross-legged, others closing their eyes to rest. Each of them was surrounded by a powerful yet restrained aura that was completely different from before.

Sudden.

The door to the cabin was slowly pushed open.

A figure walked in from outside.

It was Lynn.

Swish!

The moment he stepped into the hut, all the powerful figures, no matter what they were doing, suddenly opened their eyes, stood up in unison, and bowed deeply to Lynn.

"Lord Lynn!"

Respectful voices, in unison, echoed in the pure white space.

Only after personally learning the abilities taught by Lynn did they truly understand just how terrifying the power Lynn displayed that day was.

That forbidden technique where power increases exponentially with each door opened.

That kind of domineering boxing technique where the body is on the verge of collapse every time the power is doubled.

That kind of divine realm, which requires complete emptying of the self to even touch one ten-thousandth of it.

Each one is an ultimate power capable of overturning the world!

Lynn, however, passed on all of this to them without reservation.

This gratitude and magnanimity have long transcended mere strength.

In everyone's hearts, he is a living god.

Lynn simply glanced around calmly and nodded.

"It seems they've all learned quite well."

"Who wants to go first?"

The voice just fell.

The white-bearded man was the first to step forward, laughing heartily.

"Gurara la la la... Let this old man start by throwing out an idea!"

He took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and the muscles on his massive body instantly bulged!

"The Eight Gates Formation!"

boom!

A violent, blood-red steam erupted from his body!

"Seventh Gate - Gate of Shock! Open!"

His iconic captain's coat was instantly torn to shreds by the violent blast wave!

His skin turned a bizarre blood red, and his veins bulged like dragons. A terrifying power that could distort space itself surged wildly within his body!

Having only opened seven gates, the aura he exudes at this moment far surpasses that of his prime!

But that's not all!

"Kaio-ken!"

Whitebeard let out a furious roar!

"double!"

boom!

Once again, crimson flames shot into the sky from his blood-red body!

Two domineering and unparalleled powers clashed wildly within his weathered body, yet he forcibly fused them together with his incomparable willpower!

He just stood there, and his extremely violent aura made Kaido, Big Mom, and the others around him feel an unprecedented, suffocating sense of oppression!

"Wow! You old man, you've really got some skills!"

For the first time, Kaido's enormous dragon eyes were filled with an emotion called "shock"!

"Mama mama...this power...it's simply monstrous!"

BIGMOM's face was also filled with horror!

They had all personally cultivated, so they naturally knew how much price to pay and how much pain to endure in order to fuse these two powers!

And Whitebeard actually did it!

"good."

Lynn nodded.

Having gained Lynn's approval, the white-bearded man laughed heartily, suppressed his aura, and silently retreated.

Followed by.

Kaido, not to be outdone, stepped forward.

His enormous dragon-man body exuded an oppressive aura.

He looked at Lynn, his huge dragon eyes burning with an unprecedented, frenzied fighting spirit!

"Lynn, watch closely!"

"This is the strongest form that Lao Tzu has come to understand!"

He took a deep breath, and his enormous dragon body trembled violently!

"The Eight Gates Formation!"

"The Eighth Gate - The Gate of Death!"

"open--!!!!!"

Boom!

A burst of blood-red steam, ten or even a hundred times more violent than Whitebeard's earlier, erupted from Kaido's body like a volcanic eruption!

That's not steam!

That was the blood and energy that evaporated after he burned his domineering aura and physical strength!

The crimson aura instantly dyed his blue dragon scales an ominous, destructive dark red!

His body, which was known as having the world's strongest defense, cracked inch by inch under the impact of this force, and blood seeped out like a stream!

A terrifying aura, pure to the extreme and filled with the will to destroy and end, enveloped the entire Mental Time Cabin!

Everyone present, including Whitebeard who had just demonstrated his power, felt their souls trembling wildly before this power!

This is... the Gate of Death!

"Ughh ...

Kaido roared to the sky. He could feel an unprecedented, terrifying power within him, a power powerful enough to shatter the entire world with a single punch!

He had never felt so powerful before!

"very good."

A hint of approval flashed in Lynn's eyes.

As expected of Kaido, this reckless fighting style is practically tailor-made for him.

Upon hearing Lynn's assessment, Kaido's ferocious dragon face broke into a wildly satisfied laugh.

He released the Death Gate, and cold sweat was already seeping from his forehead. Clearly, mastering the Eight Gates had taken a toll on him.

With these two strongest individuals demonstrating their skills, others followed suit, each showcasing their own cultivation achievements.

Everyone's strength has been improved by leaps and bounds.

Seeing this, Lynn finally showed a satisfied smile.

"alright."

Lynn stood up and clapped his hands.

"This is where our cultivation ends for now."

"Next, it's time to distribute the rewards."

He flipped his palm over.

A whimsical, checkered cloth appeared in his hand.

Time is a burden!

"Kizaru".

Lynn's gaze fell on the naval admiral who was always acting erratically.

"You go first."

"Oh my... what an honor."

Kizaru, abandoning his usual sleazy demeanor, wore a rare solemnity as he carefully took out an urn from his robes.

All eyes turned to them.

They were all very curious about who this seemingly carefree man wanted to resurrect.

however.

Kizaru simply carried the urn to Akainu and handed it over.

"This... isn't for me."

Kizaru looked at Akainu, who had a bewildered expression, scratched his head, and grinned.

"It's for you, Sakazuki."

Akainu's body suddenly stiffened.

He stared intently at the urn, and for the first time, a violent and complex emotional fluctuation appeared in his eyes, which were always filled with the ferocity of magma.

Lynn gently covered the urn with the time-bound cloth.

Reverse.

A soft halo of light flashed by.

A kind-faced woman with gray hair appeared before everyone.

She looked around blankly, and finally her gaze fell on the naval admiral whose body was stiff and like a statue.

"Saka...ski?"

The woman tentatively called out softly.

boom!

These two words, like two thunderbolts, struck Akainu's heart hard!

His body, harder than steel, trembled violently at that moment.

He stared at that familiar yet unfamiliar figure, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a single word.

"Mother……"

finally.

This ruthless man, feared by countless pirates, is a cold-blooded executioner who upholds "absolute justice."

His knees buckled, and he fell heavily to his knees.

Two streams of hot tears uncontrollably slid down his resolute face.

Everyone watched this scene in silence.

Even Kaido and Big Mom didn't utter a single laugh.

The second one is Kaido.

Kaido walked up casually and pulled out a small, yellowish finger bone from his pocket.

"Lynn, I'm leaving you in charge!"

Lynn took the finger bone and covered it with the Time Wrap.

The light dissipated.

A tall, slender, pretty, and gentle woman with black hair appeared in the spot.

She looked at the strange "monsters" around her, and her face was filled with fear and unease, especially when she saw Kaido's huge dragon-man form.

"Tsuki...Tsukihime?"

Kaido looked at her, and for the first time, a gentle smile, which could be described as "clumsy," appeared on his face, which was always filled with tyranny and madness.

He cautiously extended his enormous claws, wanting to touch it, yet afraid of frightening it.

Just then.

A figure suddenly burst out from the crowd!

"Mother--!!!"

Yamato!

As she looked at that familiar yet unfamiliar figure, tears instantly blurred her vision!

Without hesitation, she rushed forward and hugged the still-dazed woman tightly!

"Mom! It really is you! I'm not dreaming!"

Yamato burst into tears, releasing all the longing and grievances of the past years through her tears.

Tsukihime was stunned.

She looked down at the white-haired girl with horns in her arms, who was about the same height as her, and then at the giant dragon-man. Her mind went blank.

Once Yamato had calmed down a bit, Lynn walked over and bowed slightly to Tsukihime.

"Mother."

Tsukihime was taken aback by the way she was addressed.

She stared in astonishment at the black-haired boy before her; in her memory, she did not have such a son.

"Ughhhhhh!"

Upon seeing this, Kaido immediately puffed out his chest, pointed triumphantly at Lynn with his enormous claws, and loudly introduced him.

"Tsukihime! Listen carefully!"

"This is my newly adopted son, Lynn!"

"He is now the only king in this world!"

Tsukihime was stunned.

The King of the World?!
