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

Hancock's cool voice rang out.

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

Although the female warriors were indignant, they immediately put away their weapons and respectfully stepped aside.

Hancock slowly stood up.

She looked down at Lynn, her eyes, which always held a hint of disdain, now filled with a deep, undisguised interest.

"To bring me into your service?"

She chuckled softly, her voice carrying an innate arrogance.

"Kid, what makes you think you can do this?"

"I only submit to the truly strong."

She stretched out her slender fingers and gently tapped her flawless chin, a playful smile curving her lips.

"You want me to submit?"

"can."

"Show me the strength that will convince me."

"Otherwise, get off my boat."

Upon hearing this, Vice Admiral Momonga slowed his pace aboard the naval warship that was fleeing in panic in the distance.

He glanced back, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

This little monster wants to subdue the Empress?

Surprisingly, the Empress didn't turn him to stone on the spot.

what is happening?

Just when everyone thought Lynn would pull out some earth-shattering weapon or demonstrate some incredible ability,

Lynn simply turned around silently, facing the boundless, calm sea.

He slowly raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers together, pointing towards the distant horizon.

Om-! ! !

A piercing scream, sharp enough to pierce the soul, suddenly resounded across the sky!

A purple beam of destruction, moving at a speed beyond comprehension, tore through the atmosphere and pierced through space!

Boom!

The instant the laser cannon hit the sea surface.

The whole world has fallen silent.

Immediately following was a terrifying giant wave powerful enough to overturn the heavens and the earth!

The sea surface was torn open with a huge, bottomless rift!

The seawater surged back in violently, then rose into the sky with even greater ferocity!

A massive, sky-covering tsunami has formed!

That terrifying height seemed to swallow the sky completely!

"what--!!"

"Boat! The boat is capsizing!"

The Kuja Pirates' ship was as small as a toy in the face of this apocalyptic giant wave, being tossed up and slammed down repeatedly!

The female warriors on the ship screamed in terror, clinging desperately to anything they could hold onto, their faces ashen white!

On a distant naval warship.

"Stabilize the ship!!"

The flying squirrel let out a hoarse roar!

He looked at the devastating tsunami, at the sky whose color had been changed by the attack, and felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly!

He witnessed the terror of the demon child once again!

"Lieutenant General! We..."

"Abort the retreat!" The flying squirrel made a decisive decision. He stared intently at the Kuja in the distance, his eyes filled with an unprecedented solemnity.

"Continue to observe!"

"His target is not us!"

He knew that running away was pointless when facing a monster of this level.

Tsunamis come quickly and go quickly.

When everything returned to calm.

On the Nine Serpents, apart from that small figure who was still standing straight, everyone else was slumped on the deck, panting heavily.

Hancock barely managed to stand steady by supporting herself on her throne.

Her face, which was always brimming with arrogance, was now filled with utter astonishment that defied all reason!

Her gaze was fixed intently on that small figure from behind.

for a long time.

She then spoke slowly in a slightly hoarse voice.

“This power…”

"enough."

However, she changed the subject.

"However, if you want me to join you, you must do one thing for me."

Her eyes suddenly turned icy cold, filled with deep-seated hatred.

"I want you to kill someone."

"A Celestial Dragon."

boom!

These words sent a thunderbolt through the minds of everyone who had just recovered from their shock!

Kill a Celestial Dragon?!

Has Lady Hancock gone mad?!

Hancock ignored her subordinates' shock; she simply stared intently at Lynn and spoke, word by word.

"His name is Saint Chalmar."

"He is one of the Five Elders and an important member of the family of Jaigollucia Satan Saint."

"Back then..."

She stopped speaking halfway through her sentence.

But the pain and hatred in his eyes sent chills down everyone's spine.

Her two younger sisters, Sandasonia and Marigold, were even more pale and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

They knew what that name meant.

That was a nightmare they could never escape for the rest of their lives!

"kill him."

Hancock's voice was as cold as ice from the deepest hell.

"If you kill him, I, this woman, this ship, and this country are all willing to join your ranks and be at your command!"

"Can't do it..."

"Take your strength and leave Daughter Island!"

On a naval warship, a flying squirrel who saw this scene through binoculars and vaguely heard the conversation nearly dropped the binoculars into the sea because his hand trembled.

Saint Charmaco?!

That guy who's known for his brutality and perversion even among the Celestial Dragons?!

Crucially, he is also an important member of the Satan Saint Family, holding a very high position!

If this... if this person is killed, the consequences will be a hundred times more serious than those two good-for-nothings who died before!

This is no longer a provocation!

This is a direct slap in the face to the Five Elders!

Under everyone's nervous gaze.

Lynn turned around and looked at Hancock. For the first time, a look of embarrassment appeared on his small face.

Seeing his expression.

The glimmer of hope in Hancock's eyes vanished instantly.

She gave a self-deprecating laugh, regained her extremely arrogant demeanor, and slowly turned around.

"how?"

"Can't do it?"

"That's true, after all, that's..."

She hadn't finished speaking.

Lynn's childish, yet strangely calm voice rang out.

"Kill those small fry."

"It doesn't weigh much."

Hancock's steps froze instantly.

She turned around abruptly, looking at Lynn in disbelief.

Everyone present was stunned.

Trash fish?

An important member of the Five Elders' family, and you're calling him a nobody?!

That's a bit too much of a boast for you!

Lynn tilted his head, looked at Hancock's shocked face, and made a suggestion in a consultative tone that would make the whole world tremble.

"It's better than this."

"How about I help you kill one of the Five Elders?"

"Coincidentally, I also have some personal grudges with that guy named Satan."

Quiet.

Silence as death.

The wind stopped.

The sound of the waves disappeared.

Everyone present, whether they were warriors from Kuja or naval personnel on distant warships, felt a problem with their hearing.

what did he say?

kill……

Kill the Five Elders and one star?!

The flying squirrel's mind went completely blank with a buzz.

He felt like he wasn't at sea.

He felt like he was dreaming.
