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

Yamato's fist clenched unconsciously.

"It was at that moment that I realized that simply imitating someone can never surpass them, let alone bring true freedom!"

"I don't want to be Kozuki Oden anymore!"

"I want to be myself! Yamato!"

"Then, become as strong as you! No, stronger than you!"

Lynn listened quietly, the playfulness on her face slowly fading, replaced by a genuine smile of approval.

"very good."

"Promising!"

He patted Yamato on the shoulder.

"Let's go, I can hear the celebrations."

"I'll teach you slowly later, but whether you can learn it depends on your own destiny!"

……

……

Oni Island, banquet hall.

When Lynn's figure flew out into the air and appeared before everyone.

“Uoooooooooooooooooooooo!!”

"Little Lord!!"

"Young Master Lynn!!!"

A thunderous roar of cheers erupted!

All the members of the Beasts Pirates, from officers to soldiers, stood up. They looked at Lynn with eyes filled with fanatical worship and awe!

What an earth-shattering feat their young master has accomplished!

This is a monumental achievement worthy of being recorded in history, no, it is a monumental achievement worthy of being made history!

In a corner of the banquet.

Empress Hancock, Tyrant Kuma, and Bonney also stood up.

"President."

Hancock's stunningly beautiful face was flushed with a lovely blush, and her beautiful eyes were gazing at Lynn with such affection that it was almost overflowing.

Xiong nodded silently, a hint of genuine respect appearing on his usually expressionless face.

"President!"

Bonnie waved excitedly, her face beaming with the joy of surviving a close call.

Lynn smiled at them as a greeting.

Then, he walked to the very center of the banquet.

Kaido sat there with a huge gourd of wine in front of him. He looked at his son, his face, which was always filled with arrogance and fighting spirit, radiating an irrepressible pride and self-satisfaction.

"Oh my gosh...good son!"

He picked up his large gourd and handed Lynn a slightly smaller one.

"Come on! Drink with your father!!"

The father and son's wine gourds collided heavily, producing a dull thud.

Lynn tilted his head back, gulped down the wine in the gourd, and then wiped his mouth with a hearty laugh.

"Wow! Great!! That's wonderful!!"

Upon seeing this, Kaido let out a deafening laugh, raised his large gourd, and drank it all in one gulp.

at this time.

"Jin the Blaze" flew to Lynn's side.

His face, always hidden by a mask, revealed no expression, but his voice carried a hint of inquiry.

"Young Master Lynn."

"Outside, there are some people who have been waiting for a long time."

"Should we meet him?"

Lynn was taken aback and casually asked, "Who is it?"

"Hawkeye Mihawk, Crocodile Crocodile, and Doflamingo Doflamingo."

"besides……"

Jin paused for a moment.

"Shiki the Golden Lion, Douglas Barrett, and the Red Earl."

Lynn's eyes narrowed slightly.

Good guy.

These people actually managed to find their way to Onigashima?

They even specifically asked to find me by name?

"Let's go and have a look."

……

Oni Island, in the open space beyond the giant skull.

Several figures, some standing and some sitting, waited quietly.

The atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

Hawkeye Mihawk, clutching the black knife "Night," closed his eyes to rest.

Crocodile puffed on a cigar, his face grim.

Doflamingo, on the other hand, wore a playful smile, seemingly lost in thought.

Meanwhile, the three legendary old monsters formed their own faction and ignored each other.

Sudden.

Everyone's movements stopped at the same time.

They all turned their gazes to the small figure floating in the sky.

That moment.

Whether it's Hawkeye's sharp eyes, Barrett's pupils burning with fighting spirit, or the Red Earl's deep eyes.

They all suddenly contracted!

They felt it clearly.

This little brat in front of me...

The faint aura emanating from him was even more profound and refined than during the Marineford War!

he……

It seems to have gotten stronger again!

Chapter 123 Hawkeye Voluntarily Joins the Godslayer Guild! Lynn's Full Power, Golden Buddha Atop His Head!

Lynn's figure slowly drifted down from the sky.

He didn't exude any imposing aura; he was just like an ordinary child.

But at this moment, whether it was Mihawk, who was holding a black knife and whose eyes were as sharp as an eagle, or Barrett, who was exuding a violent aura, everyone's eyes were fixed on him.

The air seemed to freeze.

An invisible, heavy pressure loomed over everyone's heart.

These monsters, who roamed the seas with unbridled fury, involuntarily tensed up when faced with this tiny figure.

"咈咈咈咈咈..."

The silence was broken by Doflamingo's signature laugh, full of eerie charm.

He pushed up his flamingo feather-like sunglasses, a wide grin spreading across his face.

"This is truly remarkable, Young Master Lynn!"

"You've only had a nap, but your aura seems even more frightening now."

"At the end of the Marineford War, we helped you hold off those mad dogs from the Navy and the government."

"I'd like to ask for this favor back, is that too much to ask?"

His tone was full of probing and amusement.

Crocodile, standing to the side, snorted coldly and exhaled a thick cloud of cigar smoke. His perpetually gloomy face revealed no emotion.

"Enough with the nonsense, Doflamingo."

"We're not here to ask for favors."

He raised his head, his deep eyes staring directly at Lynn.

"Those guys in the World Government have lost face so badly this time. The Shichibukai system will be abolished by them sooner or later."

"Instead of waiting to be purged by them, it's better to find a more reliable backer."

"Godslayer Guild".

Crocodile's voice became deep and powerful.

"Count me in."

"However, let me make this clear: I have no interest in working for anyone."

"I've joined as an ally, not as a master or servant."

Hawkeye Mihawk remained silent throughout.

He simply opened his sharp, eagle-like eyes, which seemed to see right through people, and calmly looked at Lynn.

"I am only interested in the strongest swordsmen and the strongest men."

"You are the latter."

He paused, his voice calm yet resolute.

“My conditions are the same as theirs.”

"Disobey orders and are not subject to jurisdiction."

As soon as he finished speaking, not far away, Jhin, Quinn, Jack, and the Flying Six who had just come out all gasped in shock.

Hawkeye Mihawk!

Crocodile!

Doflamingo the Heavenly Demon!

These three top-tier ruthless individuals from the former Seven Warlords of the Sea actually... actually took the initiative to come to us and ask to join the Godslayer Guild?!

Although the conditions sound arrogant, these are three genuine top-tier combatants from the high seas!

It just... came right to my door like that?!

They instinctively looked at Lynn, wondering how the young master would respond to this almost "provocative" declaration of joining.

However, Lynn's face showed no surprise or anger.

He merely smiled slightly, his childish voice carrying a sense of matter-of-fact composure.

"can."
