One Piece: Kaido's adopted son, opening the Eight Gates

An elderly man with a full head of white hair, wearing glasses, and a hideous scar on his face appeared in the room at some point.

He held a long knife in his hand.

"Oh~" Kizaru paused, looking at the newcomer. His lazy expression finally changed slightly. "Isn't this 'Dark King' Rayleigh? The legendary figure, what are you doing here?"

“He’s just an old man with a coating,” Rayleigh said calmly. “Could you spare these children for my sake?”

"Ugh, this is really a dilemma." Kizaru scratched the back of his head. "I'm a civil servant who gets paid to do my job."

"and……"

His eyes suddenly sharpened.

"I've been in a very bad mood these past few days."

"So even legends have to give way to the Navy's authority!"

Clang!

In Kizaru's hand, a longsword made entirely of light materialized.

"Tian Cong Yun Sword!"

The two figures instantly clashed!

Every collision between the blade and the lightsaber unleashes dazzling sparks and deafening roars!

However, Rayleigh was getting old and his strength was failing. He quickly fell into a disadvantageous position and could only barely hold on.

at this time.

A silent, tall figure suddenly appeared in the center of the battlefield.

Tyrant, Bartholomew Bear!

He ignored the fight between Kizaru and Rayleigh and silently walked towards the fallen Luffy.

"Hmm?" Kizaru noticed Kuma's movements, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

"Bear, what do you want to do?"

The bear didn't answer, but simply raised his huge, fleshy paw and pointed it at Luffy.

"Hey! What do you think you're going to do to Luffy?!"

"stop!"

The Straw Hat crew struggled to stop them, but they couldn't move at all.

"Don't even think about stealing my sales, Xiong."

Kizaru was somewhat displeased. He forced Rayleigh back with a kick, instantly transformed into a beam of light, and delivered a light-speed kick that slammed into Kuma!

boom!

The bear's massive body was kicked away!

"This is my performance record, don't mess it up." Kizaru's tone was full of unyielding authority.

However, the bear, who had been kicked away, stood up again as if nothing had happened and reappeared in front of the Straw Hat crew.

"What a stubborn fellow."

A hint of anger flashed in Kizaru's eyes.

Light-speed kick, coalescing once more!

Rayleigh's pupils contracted, and he tried to stop him, but it was too late!

At this critical moment.

A childish, slightly lazy voice drifted down from the sky without warning.

"Hey."

Just one word.

Kizaru's light-speed kick, which was about to be unleashed, froze in mid-air.

He seemed to be frozen in place, completely immobilized.

The cold, murderous expression on his face crumbled in a mere second!

Instead, there was astonishment, disbelief, and a deep-seated fear!

His pupils contracted violently to the size of pinpoints!

A bead of cold sweat slid uncontrollably down his forehead.

"You... what are you doing here?!"

"You're out of prison?!"

This sudden turn of events left everyone present stunned.

Even Rayleigh, who was struggling to defend himself, showed a surprised expression.

He stared intently at Kizaru.

What is it?

What exactly is it?

What could possibly make a naval admiral show such a terrified expression?!

Amidst the astonished and uncertain gazes of everyone.

A small figure slowly floated down from the sky.

When they saw that face clearly, everyone present, whether marines or pirates, gasped in shock!

"The Demon Child... Lynn!!"

"A criminal with a 5 billion bounty!"

"Why is he here?!"

Exclamations kept coming!

However, what shocked them even more was Kizaru's reaction.

This world's top combatant instinctively took a half step back the moment he saw Lynn!

Scared?

A naval admiral, actually afraid of a five-year-old brat, to this extent?!

Rayleigh's eyes were also filled with a shocking disbelief that defied all reason.

And in this eerie silence...

Bartholomew Kuma, seemingly unaffected, continued to carry out his orders, raising his hand once more to swat the Straw Hat crew away.

But just as his palm was about to fall...

That small figure appeared before him without warning.

Everyone was stunned.

The Straw Hat crew was puzzled.

Rayleigh was surprised and suspicious.

Kizaru looked utterly bewildered.

What does he want to do?

Under the incomprehensible gazes of everyone.

Lynn raised her little head, looked at the silent man in front of her, and slowly stretched out her little hand.

The childish voice carried clearly throughout the venue.

"Bear."

"Join my ranks!"

Chapter 95 Lynn's words are so shocking they'll kill you! Kizaru was speechless!

All eyes were focused on that small figure and his seemingly casual yet powerful words.

Recruiting...the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

In front of a naval admiral?

The Straw Hat crew and the Supernovas' brains completely shut down.

Rayleigh's eyes were also filled with unprecedented surprise and doubt.

What exactly is this brat trying to do?

"Hello...hello..." Kizaru spoke with difficulty, trying to ease the extremely strange atmosphere.

"Demon Child... Your Excellency, this... this is an internal matter of our Navy... and involves the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Lynn then turned her tender little face and looked at him calmly with an emotionless gaze.

"I do things."

"Since when did it become the navy's place to interfere?"

"You continue catching your pirates; don't interfere in my affairs."

Those two simple words were like two invisible slaps to Kizaru's face.

The lewd smile on Kizaru's face froze instantly, solidified, and finally disappeared completely.

He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Speechless.

He was actually rendered speechless by a little kid who was just over a year old, in front of the whole world!

boom!

This scene was like a thunderbolt exploding in the minds of all the marines and pirates who witnessed it!

That's a navy admiral!

The world's highest combat power!

To think... to be scolded like that by a brat, without even daring to utter a word in rebuttal?!

“This…” Rayleigh’s pupils contracted to their maximum size.

He stared intently at Kizaru's extremely ugly face.

Something is wrong!

Something is wrong!

Kizaru's reaction was not the kind of fear one should have when facing a powerful opponent.

That was... panic!

Genuine panic!

What exactly did this brat named Lynn do to Kizaru?!

For the first time, a hint of emotion, beyond the mechanical one, appeared on Tyrant Bear's usually expressionless face.

He looked at Lynn in front of him, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke in a synthesized electronic voice devoid of any emotion.

"I reject."

An expected answer.

However, Lynn simply tilted her head, showing no sign of disappointment.

“I know you have a deal with Vegapunk.”

"I'd trade my own body for my daughter's life."
