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

Kaido's arrogant face froze completely.

The three calamities behind him—Jhin, Queen, and Jack—had expressions on their faces as if they had seen a ghost.

Become a concubine for a toddler who's just over a year old?

Or is she the most outstanding daughter of the Four Emperors, Big Mom?

Has the world become this crazy?!

"Lingling! You old hag, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Kaido finally realized what was happening and let out a deafening roar at the Den Den Mushi.

"My son's wife can only be Yamato!"

"Well, well, well... Kaido, you're still so stubborn."

Lingling, on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, laughed with an undeniable air of authority.

"Don't forget, you owe me a huge favor."

"Back in God Valley, if I hadn't given you that 'Fish-Fish Fruit'..."

"There would be no 'Kaido of the Beasts' in this world today!"

Kaido's breath hitched.

The veins on his hand, which was gripping the spiked club, bulged.

This is the past he least wants to mention, and also the gratitude he cannot deny.

"So what!" Kaido growled through gritted teeth, "One thing at a time!"

"Well, well, well, I don't think so." Lingling's tone became firm. "This favor should be repaid now."

"I don't want your life, and I don't want your territory."

"I only want your son!"

"With our two families united by marriage, and the Four Emperors joining forces, the entire world will be within our grasp!"

"By then, becoming the Pirate King, or even the King of the World, wouldn't be impossible!"

Lingling's words were full of seduction.

A moment of hesitation flashed in Kaido's eyes.

But he quickly regained his senses and rudely refused.

"No! This is non-negotiable!"

"Hehehehe... Lingling, don't you understand?"

"I told you, this is my son's business!"

"I, as his father, will respect his choice!"

"Go ask him yourself when he gets out of Impel Down!"

After Kaido finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a "click" before Linlin could say anything more.

He irritably tossed the Den Den Mushi aside, grabbed the huge sake gourd, and took a big gulp.

The members of the Beasts Pirates around them didn't dare to breathe.

They were both shocked by Lord Lynn's terrifying influence, enough to make even the Four Emperors bow down, and incredulous at Governor Kaido's respect for his "son's" choice.

……

A new world, a certain sea area.

The enormous whale ship, the "Moby Dick," floats silently on the sea.

The atmosphere on the deck was heavy and oppressive.

The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, along with the captains of their forty-three pirate crews, were all present.

"Dad!"

Diamond Joz clenched his fist, making a cracking sound.

"The Navy has issued a public notice of the execution; we must act quickly!"

"That's right!" Vista, the foil, gripped the hilt of his sword, his eyes sharp. "Ace can't wait any longer!"

"Gurala la la la..."

Edward Newgate, with his white beard, sat in his enormous personal chair, his naginata slamming heavily in his hand.

The entire Moby Dick trembled.

"What's the panic!"

His booming voice resounded throughout the venue, instantly silencing all the noise.

"The Navy is declaring war on us, and it's making a statement to the whole world!"

"Since they want to fight..."

The white-bearded man's hawk-like eyes swept across the entire room, and an aura of supreme authority suddenly erupted from him.

"Then we'll fight alongside them in a world-class war that will revolutionize the era!"

"Ooo ...

At this moment, all the pirates were filled with passion and roared in unison!

Just then.

"Dad!!"

Marco the Phoenix, flapping his blue fiery wings, plummeted from the sky, his face filled with unprecedented panic.

"Urgent intelligence!"

"Is it about the location of Ace's execution?"

"Or is there some new development from the Navy?"

The crowd immediately surrounded them.

"No...none of those are..."

Marco was breathing heavily, trying to calm his wildly beating heart.

"It's about... 'Ne Zha' Lynn!"

The white-bearded man raised an eyebrow slightly.

"That brat? What trouble has he caused this time?"

Marco looked up at the white-bearded man, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"He...he's all alone in Impel Down's endless hell..."

"They wiped out the navy's top combat power."

"The Navy... lost."

In an instant.

The entire deck was deathly silent.

The fervor and fighting spirit on the faces of all the pirates froze instantly, replaced by utter disbelief and stunned silence.

"...What did you say?"

The white-bearded man's massive body suddenly leaned forward, staring intently at Marco, his eyes filled with an unprecedented solemnity.

"Is it the Navy's... entire top combat force?"

"Yes!" Marco nodded emphatically and told everyone the information he had gathered.

The three admirals, Garp, Sengoku, and more than a dozen vice admirals from the Marine Headquarters appeared at the Marine Headquarters hospital, all wounded and in a sorry state.

So his eyeliner noticed.

Following this lead, they quickly learned the shocking inside story of the "failed secret execution," a story that could overturn the world's understanding!

After Marco finished speaking.

The only sound on the entire Moby Dick was gasping for breath.

"Are you... are you kidding me?!"

"One person...broke through Marine Headquarters?!"

"Is...is this kid even human?!"

"Monster! That guy is a real monster!"

The pirates were in complete uproar, their eyes filled with horror as they looked at each other.

"Gurarararararararar!!"

The white-bearded man's laughter shattered the silence.

His eyes gleamed with excitement!

"What a... remarkable brat!"

He suddenly stood up and looked around at his sons, who had gradually gone from shock to ecstasy.

"Did you hear that?!"

"The navy's fighting spirit has been completely extinguished by that brat!"

"Right now, they're nothing but a pack of exhausted, homeless dogs!"

"We have to thank that kid named Lynn; it was he who gave us this fantastic opportunity!"

"Now! This is the best time for us to rescue Ace!"

"All troops! Move out!!"

"Target—Naval Headquarters! Marineford!!"

"Ooo ...

This roar was louder and more confident than ever before!

……

Another sea area.

On the ship of the Red-Haired Pirates.

"Shanks, Whitebeard has already begun his operation."

Ben Beckman, with a cigar in his mouth, walked up to Shanks with a serious expression.

"Once this war breaks out, the balance of the entire ocean will be completely shattered."

Red-haired Shanks tilted his head back and took a swig of wine, his face showing a rare look of melancholy.

"I know."

"But I have to stop it."

Just then, a crew member rushed over with a piece of intelligence in his hand.

"Captain! Mr. Beckman! Urgent intelligence!"

Beckman took the intelligence report, and after just one glance, his usually composed face showed a dramatic change for the first time.

He abruptly handed the intelligence to Shanks.

Shanks, Yasopp, Lucky Roux, and others gathered around.

When they saw the contents of the intelligence report, they were all stunned.

"One person... defeated all the high-ranking combatants, including the Fleet Admiral, the Admiral, and the Hero?"

Yasopp rubbed his eyes, unable to believe the words he was seeing.

"Is...is the information definitely true?"

"There may be discrepancies in the details." Beckman took a deep drag on his cigar, forcing himself to calm down and analyze the situation.

"Don't forget, Kaido is also imprisoned in Impel Down. That brat might have released Kaido as an accomplice."

"But regardless of the process..."

Beckman's gaze became incredibly solemn.

"The navy suffered a crushing defeat; that is a fact."

Shanks remained silent.

He stared at the intelligence report for a long time before slowly speaking, his voice filled with an unprecedented determination.

"It seems..."

"I have no choice but to go to this war."

"The ocean can no longer withstand another upheaval."

……

Somewhere, at the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, Baltigue.

"Mr. Long."

Tyrant Bear placed a piece of intelligence in front of Monkey D. Dragon.

Dragon, Sabo, and the Revolutionary Army cadres all fell into a long silence after reading the intelligence.

"This is...unbelievable."

Sabo's fist trembled slightly with excitement.

A smile finally appeared on the dragon's face.

"For the first time in eight hundred years of the World Government's rule, such a huge rift has appeared."

"The navy has lost face and its prestige has plummeted."

"This is a fantastic thing for us."

He stood up, walked to the map, and scanned the world with his eyes.

"Pass on my orders!"

"While the world government is preoccupied, let the flames of revolution burn even brighter throughout the world!"

"Lynn the Demon Child... is the best gift God has given us to change this era!"

……

Impel Down, the Infinite Hell.

Lynn was lying leisurely on the newly made, soft bed.

Akainu's hot bath made him feel completely comfortable.

I've also finished reading the latest issue of the manga that Kizaru brought me.

We've almost finished the chilled fruit juice that Aokiji made.

Just then.

A screen of light, visible only to him, appeared before his eyes.
