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

Chapter 189: The Selection Tournament Begins, and Buggy Sacrifices Himself at the Start!

These words shocked everyone present!

Beerus was so frightened he almost fainted on the spot!

The way he looked at Lynn was as if he were looking at a madman who was willingly sticking his head into the guillotine and urging the executioner to hurry up and carry out the execution!

And in the sky, the High Priest's gentle smile froze for the first time.

He took a deep look at the two-year-old child standing on the ruins with a wicked smile on his face.

half an hour.

The High Priest's smile softened again, even... taking on a hint of indulgence.

"Can."

He uttered two words lightly.

"The rules of the Tournament of Power are designed to encourage warriors to unleash their full potential. As long as it takes place in the arena, we will accept any outcome."

boom!

Beerus felt like his head was going to explode.

accept?

The High Priest actually agreed to such an unreasonable request?

Doesn't he know that these guys in front of him are a bunch of lawless fighting maniacs?!

The High Priest ignored Beerus's terrified appearance and continued to deliver his supreme declaration to the world below in his gentle voice.

"Given the unique nature of your spacetime, it transcends the comprehension of our twelve universes."

"The Omni-King has decided to officially designate your universe as... Universe Thirteen."

"As a specially invited universe, I am participating in this Tournament of Power."

As soon as the words were spoken, the figures of the High Priest and the two Omni-Kings disappeared silently in the rippling space, just as they had appeared.

It was as if they had never come.

But the news they brought was like a nuclear bomb with a yield of hundreds of millions of tons, which exploded throughout the entire pirate world!

The Thirteenth Universe!

The Grand Tournament of Power!

The defeated universe... will be completely wiped out!

After a brief silence, an unprecedented, frenzied emotion, a mixture of extreme fear and extreme excitement, surged from the depths of every powerful individual's heart!

"Hehehehehe! Wiping out the universe? Sounds like the best way for me to die!"

Kaido was the first to let out a deafening laugh. Instead of being afraid, he was trembling with excitement.

"Wow... to be able to use the strongest beings from all twelve universes as materials to create Homies, that's... amazing!"

A greedy glint gleamed in Bigom's eyes.

"Gurara la la la... My sons are scattered throughout this world. Whoever dares to eliminate them must first step over my dead body!"

Whitebeard slammed Murakumogiri heavily on the ground, and an aura of imperial dominance, as if protecting everything, swept across the entire arena.

Looking at the crowd below who had instantly gone into a frenzy, Lynn picked at his ear with a bored expression.

"It's so noisy."

His childish voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, instantly silencing all the noise.

"Since we're going to participate, we need to select the ten best fighters."

Lynn glanced around at the powerful figures present and spoke in a casual tone, as if announcing the rules of the game.

"Right here, on these ruins, we will hold the 'Universe Representative Selection - World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament'."

"The rules, well..."

He held up one little finger.

"It's very simple."

"The final ten survivors in this massive melee will come with me."

The voice just fell.

"I'm in!" Kaido shouted first.

"Count me in!" BIGMOM retorted defiantly.

"Of course I'm going!" the white-bearded man declared without hesitation.

"How could I miss such a grand event?" Shanks, the red-haired man, gripped the hilt of his sword, a hopeful smile on his face.

"Hmph! A bunch of pirates, daring to talk about representing the world? Only absolute justice has the right!" Akainu's body was covered in magma, and he did not back down.

"Oh dear, this is troublesome, but it seems quite interesting." Aokiji said, yawning with his hands in his pockets.

"Speed ​​is power. I want to see if any guys from other universes have ever been kicked by light." Kizaru wore his signature lewd smile.

"The pinnacle of the world must be witnessed by the strongest sword." Hawkeye's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

"Hey! You green-haired guy! If you dare to go, I dare to go!" Sanji taunted Zoro.

"You idiot with curly eyebrows, you'll only hold us back!" Zoro retorted without any politeness.

"Kakarot... This time, I will personally kill that monster in front of everyone!" Vegeta stared intently at Kaido not far away, his eyes burning with the flames of revenge.

Sun Wukong exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, so many amazing guys! This is really exhilarating!"

even……

"You bunch of bastards! Don't forget me! Bucky the Clown, one of the Four Emperors, is the true savior of this world! Who else but me can represent the universe?!"

Bucky the Clown suddenly appeared from some corner, struck what he thought was a cool pose, and laughed arrogantly.

Almost instantly, all the renowned powerhouses at the pinnacle of this world gathered on these ruins.

The atmosphere was tense, like a battleground.

Lynn nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the unprecedentedly enthusiastic scene.

Great, saves him the trouble of notifying them one by one.

His small figure slowly floated into the air, looking down at the faces below filled with fighting spirit.

"So..."

"The selection competition..."

"start!"

boom--!!!

The moment the word "begin" was uttered, the entire ruins of the God-Slaying Island were completely transformed into a battlefield where gods and demons danced wildly!

"That long-nosed one! He's my prey!"

Sanji had just lit a cigarette when he saw Zoro transform into a green gust of wind, rushing towards an unfortunate pirate. Enraged, he unleashed a "Diable Jambe" kick directly at Zoro's back.

"Get out of here! Curl your eyebrows!"

Without turning his head, Zoro swung his sword, the sharp sword energy colliding with the scorching leg wind, and the two instantly engaged in a fierce battle.

On the other side...

"Hehehehehe! Get the hell out of my way!"

Kaido didn't bother looking for an opponent at all; he simply took a deep breath and then sneezed loudly!

call--!!!

A terrifying shockwave, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, swept out like a Category 12 hurricane.

Bucky, who was just laughing wildly, froze instantly.

His body was uncontrollably torn into pieces, then blown by the gale like a kite with a broken string, letting out a shrill scream as he transformed into a star in the sky, instantly disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Captain Bucky... Captain Bucky!"

The members of Buggy's Pirates in the distance were all petrified.

"Lava" and "Glacier" collide once again!

Akainu and Aokiji, these two destined rivals, seemed to ignore everyone else and immediately targeted each other.

"Sakazuki! Your so-called justice is utterly incapable of saving this universe!"

"Kuzan! Your lazy approach to justice will only plunge the world into greater chaos!"

The scorching magma and extreme ice transformed half the battlefield into a hell of ice and fire, with terrifying steam hissing and preventing any weakling from approaching even a fraction of the distance.

The battle reached a fever pitch from the very beginning!

The truly powerful individuals began to reveal the results of their training in the Mental Time Chamber without reservation!

Clang!

A crisp clang echoed through the sky!

Red-haired Shanks drew his beloved sword "Griffin" and clashed fiercely with Hawkeye Mihawk's Supreme Grade Sword "Yoru"!

There are no fancy moves, only the purest swordsmanship and a domineering duel!

Each swing of the sword brought forth a terrifying, pitch-black sword aura that seemed capable of cleaving through space itself!

The area where the two were located instantly turned into a forbidden zone. Countless crisscrossing slashes cut the earth into pieces. Any powerful person who tried to approach would be torn to pieces by the invisible sword pressure in an instant!

This is a battle of destiny between the world's top swordsmen!

But in the very center of the battlefield, an even more terrifying scene was unfolding!

"Guralalalalala!"

Edward Newgate, the man known as "the strongest man in the world," is currently fighting alone against Kaido of the Beasts and Charlotte Linlin, two monsters who were both "Emperors of the Sea" in the old era!

"Smash it, you son of a bitch!"

Whitebeard threw a punch, shattering the atmosphere inch by inch. Transparent cracks spread like a spider web, and the shockwave, powerful enough to shake the very foundation of the world, crashed down on Kaido and Big Mom like a tidal wave!

"Oh ho ho ho! Whitebeard, you're getting old!"

Kaido roared, and his spiked club, imbued with the power of the crimson Kaioken, slammed down fiercely against the shockwave!

"Mama mama mama! Wei Guo!"

BIGMOM wielded the Emperor's Sword Napoleon, unleashing a massive sword aura infused with the power of his soul!

Rumble rumble rumble—!!!

The strongest powers of the three "Emperors" collided, and the resulting shockwave caused the entire ruins of the God-Slaying Island to shake violently, as if it were about to sink completely into the sea at any moment!

Even when facing two opponents alone, Whitebeard did not retreat an inch!

His imposing physique stood like an unshakeable mountain in the center of the battlefield, using his unparalleled strength to declare to the world who was truly... the strongest in the world!
