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

One is ninjas leaping across rooftops and unleashing various escape techniques.

One is the giants, both inside and outside the city walls, bringing despair and resistance.

One is a battle between a hero and an eccentric, a bizarre yet thrilling duel.

This vast sea of ​​stars is his future, endless playground.

Lynn shifted his attention from the star map to the reward floating on the other side—[The Book of Omniscience (Fragment)].

It was an ancient page, made of an unknown material. It possessed a texture neither gold nor jade, and contained no words, only countless patterns more intricate than the trajectories of stars, slowly flowing across it, as if holding all the mysteries of the universe's birth. It floated there silently, radiating no power, yet giving the illusion that it knew everything and had seen through eternity.

Lynn tried to "read" it, but found that his consciousness couldn't penetrate it at all. It was like an absolutely sealed box; no matter how you explored it, it didn't react in the slightest.

"Hmm?" Lynn tilted her head.

He didn't insist. He could sense that the usefulness of this thing couldn't be understood through simple exploration. Perhaps a specific opportunity, or a specific "key," would be needed to unlock the infinite knowledge it contained.

Lynn's mind returned to reality as she absorbed the two new toys into the depths of her consciousness.

He was still that delicate, harmless two-year-old child, suspended in mid-air.

The air around them still carried the decaying scent of Barragán's "aging" power, but more than that, there was a solidified atmosphere originating from the depths of the soul, called "fear."

Kaido, carrying his brand-new spiked club, grinned widely, examining his "new toy" with great interest. He even actually stretched out his rough, huge, calloused hand and vigorously rubbed it on the armrest of Barragan's eternally sculpted skeletal throne.

"Hehehehe! How impressive! Young Master, rest assured, I will polish it to a shine every day!" Kaido's maniacal laughter broke the deathly silence, making the absurd scene even more bizarre.

Whitebeard Newgate watched this scene in silence, a complex emotion flickering in his deep eyes. He had witnessed countless storms and stood at the pinnacle of his era, but he had never imagined that power could reach such an inconceivable level of "rules." To turn an immortal emperor, along with his authority, into an eternal ornament. This transcended his understanding of "battle." It was more like... the pronouncements of a god.

Charlotte Linlin licked her lips, her gaze lingering on the Barragan sculpture, her eyes filled with novelty and greed. She wasn't afraid, but excited. An eternal, fixed, and indestructible soul? This was the perfect "Homie" material she had always dreamed of! If she could master this ability… her Big Mom Pirates would become a truly immortal kingdom of souls!

Those Arrancars who had just surrendered, led by Stark and Harribel, completely extinguished their last shred of hope. Their former king, the supreme ruler of Hueco Mundo, had met such an end. They were incredibly grateful that they had made the right choice. Compared to becoming a "toy" bestowed upon them by their new master, submission was practically an act of mercy.

As for the Shinigami like Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, Kyoraku Shunsui, and Kuchiki Byakuya, their worldviews had been repeatedly crushed, rebuilt, and then crushed again. The Seireitei's order, honor, and rules, built up over thousands of years, were as fragile as sandcastles before that child. They watched as their former formidable enemy, the once-invincible Skeleton Emperor, became a "honor ornament" to be polished daily by his enemies. An indescribable sense of sorrow and absurdity filled each of their hearts.
