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

These three simple words were like three indestructible hammers, slamming hard into the bear's heart!

All his persistence, all his pretense, crumbled in that instant!

Yes.

Has it really been cured?

Vegapunk tried everything, but could only slow the progression of the disease.

The so-called cure was nothing more than a lie that made him willingly accept the transformation.

This secret was known only to him and Vegapunk.

But this little brat in front of me... saw right through me!

The bear's psychological defenses completely collapsed.

He looked at Lynn, at this monster who had given him endless shock and a glimmer of hope, and finally made a decision.

"I……"

"I promise you!"

"I'm willing to join your ranks!"

however.

Just when everyone, including Xiong himself, thought that the matter was over.

Lynn waved her hand dismissively and said with a look of disgust.

"don't want."

"I hate this kind of forceful coercion that forces people to comply the most."

"..."

Once again, the entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

The Straw Hat crew, the Supernovas, every single one of them, gaped wide-eyed, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets, completely dumbfounded.

Rayleigh's lips twitched uncontrollably.

Kizaru's already numb face was twisted beyond recognition.

Coercion?

Forcing someone to comply?

Is this something you should say?!

When you just burned the Celestial Dragons to ashes in front of the whole world, why didn't you say this?!

When you were chasing me, a naval admiral, all over the field with your light cannon, why didn't you say this?!

Do you even know what you're saying?!

At this moment, everyone's worldview was completely overturned, then trampled into dust and crushed on the ground.

Kizaru finally lost his temper. He felt that if he didn't say something, this brat would drive him crazy!

He took a deep breath and refused in a businesslike, cold tone.

"I refuse to help you find someone."

"This is my bottom line."

Lynn was not angry when she heard this; she just kindly offered a reminder.

"Oh right, there seems to be another Celestial Dragon still alive over there."

Kizaru's body suddenly stiffened.

Of course he knew that Lynn was referring to Charlos Saint, who had been knocked unconscious by Luffy's punch and hadn't woken up yet!

The last bit of "bottom line" and "temper" on his face vanished instantly.

He instantly understood what Lynn meant.

Aren't you going?

sure.

Then I'll burn this one too.

"I……"

finally.

He couldn't hold it in anymore.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire world.

This admiral, one of the world's top military leaders, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words.

"I...will...go...to...find it!"

After saying that, he transformed into a golden light, carrying endless resentment and humiliation, and disappeared from the spot.

Everyone present was left dumbfounded, their understanding of the world completely shattered.

……

Not long after.

Kizaru is back.

Beside him was a pink-haired girl with an angry expression and a pizza in her mouth.

It is none other than "Big Eater" Joelie Bonney.

"Bear!"

When Bonnie saw that familiar yet unfamiliar giant figure, the anger on her face instantly turned into endless grievance and longing.

She transformed back into a little girl and ran crying into the bear's arms.

"dad!!"

The bear's massive body trembled violently.

He wanted to reach out and embrace his daughter, whom he had been longing for day and night, but the cold, metallic arm that didn't belong to him made him incredibly nervous, and he dared not go forward.

It was during this touching moment of father and daughter's reunion.

suddenly.

hum-

A tiny, almost negligible beam of purple light shot out from Lynn's fingertip without warning.

puff!

Blood splattered!

Bonnie's slender right arm was instantly pierced, and then the entire arm was completely destroyed and turned into nothingness by the purple energy!

"ah--!!"

Bonnie let out a painful scream.

This scene caused everyone present to change their expressions drastically!

"Bonnie!!"

The Tyrant Bear let out a terrified roar!

Even Kizaru showed a hint of panic... and anger!

the reason is simple.

Both Kuma and Bonney were once Kizaru's good friends!

"What...what did you do?!"

Xiong's mechanical eyes instantly turned blood red. He stared intently at Lynn, and for the first time, his human-like, furious emotions completely overwhelmed the control of his program!

Everyone was stunned.

They don't understand at all.

What is this brat trying to do?!

One second they were extending a warm invitation.

The next second, right in front of the father, he destroyed his daughter's arm?!

This is something only a devil would do!

However, faced with the bear's fury that could tear everything apart, Lynn simply walked forward calmly.

Under the incomprehensible gazes of everyone.

He reached out his little hand and gently placed it on Bonnie's bleeding wound.

next second.

A miracle happened.

A soft, warm white light emanated from Lynn's hands.

At the severed point on Bonnie's arm, flesh began to wriggle and grow at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Bones, meridians, muscles, skin...

In just a few seconds.

A perfectly intact, fair and delicate arm has grown back!

This scene left everyone present stunned.

Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief that defied all reason!

"This...this is..."

The bear's anger vanished instantly, replaced by boundless shock.

"I noticed it."

Lynn withdrew her hand and explained in a childish voice.

"Her illness has not been completely cured."

"That so-called cure is nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst; at most, it will only prolong her life by a dozen or so years."

"In my judgment, she won't live past 20."

"Now, I am completely healed."

Xiong suddenly realized.

Looking at his daughter's face, which had regained its color and was full of life, he could no longer suppress his emotions.

He suddenly knelt on one knee, facing Lynn, and lowered his proud head, which had never bowed to anyone before.

This time, his voice contained no hesitation, only boundless gratitude and utter submission.

"Lord Lynn!"

"From this day forward, my life, Bartholomew Bear's life, belongs to you!"

Kizaru stood to the side without saying a word, letting out a long sigh of relief. At the same time, a barely perceptible hint of satisfaction flashed in his usually lazy eyes.

As for his opinion on Lynn's miraculous healing method...

to be frank.

After these few exchanges, even if Lynn were to destroy the entire Sabaody Archipelago at will, Kizaru wouldn't be too surprised... This monster always has unexpected and bizarre methods!

however.

Right at this moment when the mission should have been completed.

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

【Ding! 】

[Task...Authentication failed!]

[Reason for failure: The target of the attempt, 'Bartholomew Kuma,' had his consciousness scientifically altered and lacked a complete personality, making it impossible to determine whether his submission was 'genuine'.]

Lynn was stunned.

For the first time, a truly bewildered expression appeared on his little face.

Subconsciously, he let out a cry from his very soul to the system in his mind.

Why didn't you say so earlier?!
