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

Kaido of the Beasts, carrying his enormous spiked club, walked out step by step.

He tilted his head back and looked at the Espada in the sky with the same disdainful gaze one would give someone trash.

"Perfect timing! I was interrupted by that old man earlier, and I haven't had a chance to warm up yet!"

"Come on, all of you! Let me see what kind of useless trash the King of Hueco Mundo has raised!"

Kaido's arrogance completely ignited the fury of the Espada!

"You bastard! How dare you look down on us, you mere wild beast!"

Nnoitra roared, unable to contain himself any longer. In a flash, he wielded a huge scythe and slashed down at Kaido's head!

"Well done!"

Kaido neither dodged nor evaded, but laughed wildly as he fiercely met the attack head-on with his spiked club, which was wrapped in Conqueror's Haki!

clang--!!!

A tremendous roar echoed through the sky!

Battle is imminent!

"My lords!"

Whitebeard slammed his naginata heavily on the ground, his booming voice echoing throughout the entire arena!

"The party continues!"

"Let them see how powerful the Beasts Pirates are!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

King, Queen, Jack, Akainu, Aokiji, Kizaru...

These monsters, who had just finished a great battle and hadn't even had a chance to catch their breath, showed no signs of fatigue upon hearing the order. Instead, they all revealed excited smiles, roared, and charged towards the Ten Blades in the sky!

The newly surrendered Death Captains stood there dumbfounded, at a loss for what to do.

To fight or not to fight?

Whom are you helping?

Just as they hesitated, Lynn's lazy voice rang out again.

"Hey, you guys in black!"

"What are you still standing there for?"

"Haven't you seen any new toys delivered?"

Lynn pointed to the Ten Blades in the sky and gave the order in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Go, play with them."

"Whoever wins, I'll reward them with a lollipop."

Lollipop?

Kuchiki Byakuya and the others all twitched at the corners of their mouths.

The captain of the dignified Gotei 13, and his reward was just a lollipop?

What is this?!

However, one person suddenly became excited!

"Oh my god! Fight! There's a fight!"

Kenpachi Zaraki, the battle maniac who had just sworn allegiance, charged out without a second thought after hearing the order, carrying his sword!

His gaze swept across the Ten Blades in the sky, finally settling on the First Blade, Stark, whose aura was the most restrained yet also the most powerful!

"You! You look like the strongest! Come and fight me!"

Kenpachi Zaraki laughed wildly, transforming into a golden streak of light as he charged straight at Stark!

"Ugh... this is such a hassle..."

Stark sighed helplessly as he watched Kenpachi Zaraki charge towards him, forced to engage in battle.

With Kenpachi Zaraki leading the way, the other captains had no choice but to bite the bullet and choose their opponents.

An ultimate battle involving three of the world's top combatants has once again erupted in the skies above the Seireitei!

Chapter 240: Lava vs. Nothingness

Amidst the chaos of the battlefield, two figures stood out as if they were out of place.

Sakazuki the Red Dog.

The Fourth Blade, Ulquiorra Cifer.

Unlike the others, they didn't immediately unleash a barrage of attacks.

Instead, they remained quietly suspended in mid-air, facing each other from afar.

One of them, his body ablaze with black lava that seemed capable of incinerating everything, had a stern face filled with absolute hatred for "evil".

One of them, expressionless, with only a deep, seemingly all-consuming "nothingness" in his emerald green eyes.
