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

On the battlefield, devastating energy storms continue to rage.

The white-bearded man's imposing body was like an unshakeable ancient mountain. The ground beneath his feet had long since turned into an abyss, but his feet seemed to be rooted to the core of the planet, unmoving.

"Guralalalalala!"

He laughed wildly, his arms bulging with muscles, his fists enveloped in a vibrating aura, and once again clashed fiercely with Kaido's spiked club, which was wrapped in the power of the Kaioken, and Big Mom's Emperor Sword, which was infused with the power of her soul!

Boom!

It was yet another earth-shattering collision.

Kaido and Big Mom were thrown backward dozens of meters by the unparalleled force of the shockwave before they could barely regain their footing.

Even when outnumbered two to one, he still holds the upper hand!

The world's strongest man's reputation is on full display at this moment!

On another battlefield, the pitch-black sword energy and the crimson lightning painted the sky with an ominous, apocalyptic hue.

Red-haired Shanks and Hawkeye Mihawk, these two men standing at the pinnacle of the world of swordsmanship, have entered a realm where no one can interfere. Every clash of their swords leaves a dark, unhealable crack in the air.

The battle has been going on for a long time.

Even the mighty Four Emperors began to feel fatigued.

"Lava, Glacier, and Massive Eruption!"

"Ice Cube - Fierce Pheasant Beak!"

With two roars filled with extreme killing intent, Akainu and Aokiji, these two destined rivals, pushed their Devil Fruit abilities, honed throughout their lives, to unprecedented limits.

A massive volcano covering half the battlefield clashed violently with an ice-blue phoenix capable of freezing time and space in the center of the battlefield!

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

Only extreme heat and extreme cold annihilate and cancel each other out.

A terrifying wave of steam swept out like a tsunami, temporarily obscuring everyone's vision.

As the steam slowly dissipates.

Akainu and Aokiji, both covered in wounds, fell backward with a thud, one on each side, completely incapacitated.

Both sides suffer heavy losses!

With the fall of these two generals, the entire battlefield seemed to have come to an eerie pause.

Kaido was panting heavily, Big Mom was leaning on Napoleon, Whitebeard's chest was heaving violently, and Shanks and Hawkeye's swords were also stained with each other's blood.

Goku and Vegeta were completely exhausted and returned to their normal state.

Everyone had exhausted most of their energy in the fierce elimination rounds.

In the end, only a handful of people were left standing on these ruins.

Lynn watched all this calmly and spoke in a childish voice.

"Ten people, that's all here."

Ten people?

Everyone was taken aback, and subconsciously began to count the number of people.

Lynn, as the captain, is the one who will be chosen.

Son Goku, Vegeta, Kaido, Whitebeard, Shanks, Mihawk, Big Mom, Akainu...

wrong!

Even including Akainu, there are only nine people!

Who was the last one?

All eyes began to scan the devastated battlefield with frantic intensity.

at last.

In an inconspicuous corner, behind a huge rock.

A figure was "standing" there in an extremely bizarre posture.

He was trembling violently, his legs shaking like noodles, his eyes rolling back, foaming at the mouth, and two lines of clear tears hanging from his long nose.

If he hadn't happened to be leaning against that boulder, he probably would have collapsed to the ground long ago.

But it is not important.

The important thing is that he is still "standing".

Moreover, he happened to be right in the final battle zone that Lynn had drawn up!

"It's... that one with the long nose..." BIGMOM was the first to recognize him.

"U...Usopp?!" Sun Wukong's eyes widened as well.

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

Then, a deafening roar erupted!

"Are you kidding me!"

Kaido was the first to roar, pointing at the figure who had almost fainted from fright, his dragon eyes filled with savage rage.

"This kind of trash, who can't even stand up straight, dares to represent our universe in battle?!"

"I object!" Akainu struggled to get half of his body up from the ground, his whole body emitting black smoke, his face filled with his obsession with "justice".

"A warrior representing the entire universe must be a strongman with absolute power and an iron will! Cowards who rely on hiding and luck to survive to the end will only become a disgrace to our Thirteenth Universe!"

Vegeta was so angry that he was trembling all over.

"To have such trash fight alongside me? This is the greatest insult to me, the Saiyan prince!"

Immediately, public sentiment was agitated.

No one in their right mind could accept this utterly absurd outcome.

however.

In the face of everyone's protests, Lynn simply yawned.

"I've made up my mind."

He pointed to the still trembling figure in a nonchalant tone, as if he were simply asking what to have for dinner.

"The last spot is his."

"Why?!" Kaido roared indignantly.

Lynn glanced at him, a wicked smile spreading across her face.

"Sometimes, luck and a mind that can come up with ways to survive in desperate situations are more important than sheer strength."

He paused, then added.

"and……"

"I think it will be very interesting."

interesting……

Just for this reason?

Kaido, Akainu, and the others felt like they had a mouthful of blood stuck in their chests, and they almost exploded with anger on the spot.

But looking into Lynn's unwavering black eyes, they ultimately swallowed all their words.

No one can change this little devil's decision.

When Usopp heard his name called, his brain completely shut down.

He rolled his eyes and promptly fainted.

A few seconds later, I was awakened by a loud noise around me.

Upon waking, after a brief period of extreme panic, he suddenly fell into a state of extreme excitement!

Suddenly, he straightened up, put one hand on his hip, pointed the other to the sky, and laughed wildly at everyone in a trembling yet incredibly loud voice.

"Hmph... What do you mere mortals know!"

"I, the great Captain Usopp, didn't do this by luck!"

"This is the ultimate technique I've meticulously calculated and unleashed—the [Final Kill: Feign Death Star] tactic!"

"While you were fighting to the death, I had already grasped every variable on the battlefield, and ultimately, I firmly held victory in my grasp!"

As Kaido and the others watched Usopp boasting wildly, veins bulged on their foreheads.

The Thirteenth Universe, the Pill.

Amidst this absurd atmosphere, the representative team of Universe Thirteen officially assembled.

It was at this moment that...

Om-!

That supreme aura descended once again.

The High Priest's figure, with his ever-present gentle smile, quietly appeared in mid-air.

He glanced at the group below, whose unique style could be described as a "gathering of villains," and the smile on his face seemed to deepen.

"It seems that the selection of the representative for Universe 13 has been completed."

"So that the two Omni-Kings can appreciate your splendor in advance."

"We have decided to hold a special preliminary battle before the official start of the Tournament of Power."

The high priest's voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Our Universe 7 team will face off against your Universe 13 team."

Universe 7?

Everyone was taken aback.

The high priest smiled and gently waved his scepter.

In mid-air, a flash of light appeared, revealing the image of another team.

Son Gohan, Piccolo, Android 17, Android 18, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Master Roshi...

as well as……

A white cosmic emperor, Frieza, exuding an aura of extreme evil and sporting a cruel smile!

Kaido's pupils contracted sharply the moment he saw Frieza's figure.

That bastard!

He's still alive!

And when Frieza in the image seemed to sense something, his gaze pierced through the image and met the eyes of Lynn and Kaido.

His elegant smile froze instantly.

Instead, there was a deep-seated resentment and an uncontrollable, absolute fear from the depths of the soul!

He remembered the golden giant.

He recalled the sky-covering Buddha's hand that slammed him into the core of the moon.

I remembered that two-year-old child, and the godlike despair he felt!

"Since Goku and Vegeta are currently classified as belonging to Universe 13."

The High Priest's gentle voice continued, interrupting Frieza's recollection.

"Therefore, the vacancy in Universe 7 will be temporarily filled by Lord Beerus, the God of Destruction, and Mr. Toppo, the candidate God of Destruction from Universe 11."

boom!

A dream match of god-like skill was decided so casually.

Lynn looked at the opposing team's lineup, and a playful smile appeared on his face when he saw Frieza's face, which was filled with shock, anger, and fear.

"Oh?"

"So, even my defeated foe has arrived."

His voice, though soft and childlike, was filled with a demonic power that sent shivers down Frieza's spine.

"Perfect, this time, I'll crush you completely."
