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

He simply gazed calmly in Lynn's direction, as if everything around him was irrelevant to him.

Lynn ignored Kaido's strange remarks.

He looked at Fujitora with great interest and asked in a childish voice.

"Give me a reason."

"Why would someone like you want to join a guild made up of pirates?"

Upon hearing this, Fujitora's face, which always wore a gentle smile, showed a hint of reminiscence and emotion.

He spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Although I was not there in person, I witnessed the whole process through videos."

"I have seen how cold and hypocritical the so-called 'absolute justice' of the world government really is."

"And you, sir, protected so many innocent people during the Marineford War."

"What you possess is the power to change the world, but what you hold fast to is a compassionate heart that protects the weak."

He paused, then bowed deeply in Lynn's direction.

"I blinded myself because I didn't want to see too much filth in this world."

"But your actions make me think that there may be another kind of 'justice' in this world, a completely different kind."

"Therefore, I would like to see it for myself."

"Look at the kind of era you are about to create."

These words were spoken with sincerity and righteous indignation.

The pirates present looked at each other, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

What justice or injustice...

They're pirates!

Murder, arson, and territorial conquest are their main jobs!

Fujitora seemed to realize this as well, and he straightened up and added a sentence.

"Of course, I also have my own principles."

"Joining the guild is fine, but I will never do anything like burning, killing, looting, or bullying the weak."

"If the guild's actions violate the principles of morality in my heart."

"At that time, I will leave."

This sentence is like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil.

"Ughhhhhh!!"

Kaido's massive dragon head approached, its huge dragon eyes revealing undisguised displeasure and contempt.

"Hey! What nonsense are you spouting, you old man!"

"We are pirates! What kind of pirates are we if we don't rob and kill?"

"Are you pointing your finger at us and cursing us?!"

Crocodile let out a cold laugh, exhaled a puff of smoke, and his eyes turned sinister.

"what!"

"What a naive old man."

"Are you trying to teach us how to do things?"

Doflamingo also let out a playful laugh.

"Fufufufufu... What an innocent and adorable old gentleman."

"Are you trying to get a pack of wolves to graze with you?"

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Even the Empress, Shiki, Bullet, and the members of the Beasts Pirates who were watching all showed displeasure at these words.

As a pirate.

Who hasn't done a few bad things?

Do you really think everyone is like Luffy, the Straw Hat Pirate, a chosen one with a strong background and a lucky fate?

however.

"can."

Lynn's calm voice interrupted them directly.

He looked at Fujitora with an approving smile on his face.

"I agree to your terms."

"But old man, I also have conditions."

"We would never do anything to bully innocent civilians, nor would we stoop to doing such a thing... But as the Godslayer Guild, since we're going to kill gods, it's inevitable that we'll do something outrageous."

Lynn's eyes flashed, "Like robbing some celestial treasure, killing a Celestial Dragon, or blasting away the Marines who come to capture us..."

"I can take care of that!"

Fujitora skipped over the subject.

"it is good!"

"I declare."

"From this day forward, you are a member of the 'Godslayer Guild'!"

The moment the words fell.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, on successfully recruiting the "Admiral-level" combatant—Fujitora Issho!]

The recruitment drive is complete!

[Mission Reward: Kaioken's maximum multiplier increased to 5x!]

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Recruit a willing general-level combatant!]

[Mission Reward: Permanently reduce the stamina/energy consumption of the skills "True Several Thousand Hands - Top Transformation Buddha" and "Kaioken" by 50%!]

A series of system notification sounds exploded in Lynn's mind!

Lynn's pupils contracted sharply.

An indescribable surge of joy instantly welled up in my heart.

He could clearly feel that the power within his body was undergoing a qualitative change.

His body, which had been somewhat depleted from continuously unleashing his ultimate moves, was now being filled with an even larger and purer energy at an astonishing speed!

The feeling was like the blue energy that was originally just a pool of water instantly expanding into a vast ocean!

The constraints imposed by Kaioken were completely broken.

Five times!

His current body is capable of withstanding the terrifying amplification of five times that of the Kaioken!

Not only that.

The remaining mission to subdue an Admiral-level enemy has also resulted in a 50% reduction in the cost of Kaioken and Top Transformation Buddha.

This means that its battery life has become even longer than before!

It will also be even more powerful on the battlefield!

"very good."

"If the Holy Mother's Flame were to strike again... I could withstand it without breaking a sweat!"

Lynn took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and his face regained its calm and composed expression.

He turned around and waved to the group of bigwigs behind him who were still in a daze.

"Alright, stop standing around here."

"Go back and continue the banquet!"

He glanced at the Golden Lion and the Red Earl, and grinned.

"Seniors, would you like to join us for a drink?"

"Hahaha! I couldn't be happier!"

The golden lion laughed heartily and followed without any hesitation.

The Red Earl, also twirling his red umbrella with great interest, nodded.

Oni Island was once again filled with jubilation.

This time, however, the banquet's lineup was unprecedentedly luxurious and terrifying.

……

at the same time.

Holy Land, Marie Gioia.

Pangu City, a place of power struggles.

In stark contrast to the jubilant atmosphere of Oni Island, the air here was so oppressive it almost seemed to solidify.

The newly appointed Saint Figaland Garin, as well as Saints Nassoulan, Valculi, Mas, and Peter.

The five supreme leaders of the world government sat upright, each with a cold and confident air about them.

The defeat at Marineford did not break them.

Instead, it aroused the most primal and frenzied fighting spirit of these five monsters who had lived for nearly a thousand years.

A war storm targeting Lynn, sweeping across the world, is brewing wildly, centered on them.

"Oh? Vegapunk finally succeeded?"

"Vocli Saint asked in a low voice."

"Yes, Saint Vocuri!"

Below, a top CP0 officer was kneeling on one knee, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Dr. Vegapunk has successfully created the first 'Seraph'!"

"Code name: S-Hawk!"

"It is an ultimate biological weapon created by combining the bloodline factors of the Lunaria race with the prototype of 'World's Greatest Swordsman' Hawkeye Mihawk!"

"Based on preliminary tests, its combat strength is already very close to that of a Marine Admiral!"

"Well done!"

Saint Vocuri nodded.

"Anything else?" Nasujiro asked.

"Commander-in-Chief Steelbone has also completed his assembly!"

CP0's tone became increasingly agitated.

"His most elite 'air force,' which has never been shown to the public, is now fully ready for deployment!"

"Their combined combat power is enough to pose a fatal threat to three naval admirals!"

“Very good.” Massan nodded silently.

"What are the results of global recruitment?"

"Reply to Master Masheng!"

"Remarkable results!"
