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

Do not……

This can't be done...

Kuchiki Byakuya slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, all the struggle and defiance in those cold eyes had vanished.

Instead, there is a cold, hard realization that comes from recognizing reality.

He slowly sheathed his Zanpakuto.

Then, facing the two-year-old child before him, the demon king who was about to become his new master, he deeply lowered his proud, noble head, which he had held for half his life.

"Captain of the 6th Division of the Gotei 13, Byakuya Kuchiki..."

His voice was hoarse and dry, yet it carried a sense of resolute severing of the past.

"I am willing to offer everything for... my master."

As he finished speaking, the force that had been resisting the distortion of reality completely dissipated.

The brand-new "settings" flooded into his mind like a tidal wave, perfectly merging with his original understanding.

His gaze became both respectful and fervent.

It was as if loyalty to Lynn was his innate and highest mission.

"Hmm, that's a good girl."

Lynn nodded in satisfaction, then floated over to Toshiro Hitsugaya and Soi Fon.

Looking at Byakuya Kuchiki, who had already made his choice, and then at the demon boy who seemed to be saying "you guys hurry up too," the two exchanged a glance and saw a hint of bitterness and helplessness in each other's eyes.

In the end, they had no choice but to give in.

At this point, all the surviving high-ranking members of the Gotei 13 "surrendered".

The Seireitei, the city of death that has stood for a thousand years, has completely changed hands.

"Alright, all done, that's a wrap."

Lynn clapped her hands, expressing great satisfaction with the results of her home renovation.

He drifted back to the God-Slaying Island, sat back on his exclusive throne, and began to command the Death Gods who had just "surrendered" to clean up the battlefield and prepare refreshments for him.

Kaido, Whitebeard, and the others felt a sense of disbelief as they looked at the Death God captains who had been fighting them to the death just a moment ago but were now respectfully addressing them as "sir." However, they were filled with awe and fervor for their young master's extraordinary abilities.

The entire Seireitei was enveloped in an eerie yet harmonious atmosphere.

however.

Just as Lynn received a plate of yokan, a special offering from Seireitei, which was nervously served by Kotetsu Isane, and was about to taste it,

Stab it--!

A piercing sound, as if space itself were being forcibly torn apart, suddenly rang out above the Seireitei!

A dark, ominous crack appeared out of nowhere!

That rift was different from the passage that Lynn and his companions had opened when they traveled through the worlds before.

It was filled with a chilling, deathly stillness, and... an atmosphere of nothingness.

"Um?"

Lynn stopped eating the yogurt, looked up at the crack, and blinked curiously.

"This door looks really dilapidated."

He commented in a childish voice.

next second.

Several figures slowly emerged from the crack known as the "Black Cavity".

The leader was a man dressed in a white robe, with a broken, skull-like mask on his face, and green eyes devoid of any emotion.

Behind him followed a tall, brown-haired, lazy-looking middle-aged man who looked like he hadn't woken up yet.

And, a woman with a hot body, long blonde hair, and a huge hole in her chest.

They all exuded a cold spiritual pressure that was completely different from, yet equally powerful, that was different from, that of the Grim Reaper.

Indeed, it was the Hueco Mundo Espada who were ordered to investigate the situation.
