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

"After rigorous screening, we have identified two monsters with absolute general-level strength!"

"One of them is codenamed 'Green Bull,' a Logia-type Devil Fruit user named Forest Forest Fruit, Aramaki!"

"The other one is a martial arts expert named Isaac. After evaluation, his combat strength is comparable to that of the existing generals."

One piece of good news after another swept away the gloom on the faces of the five elders.

Their backs straightened again.

The confidence and pride that belonged to the kings of the world returned to their hearts.

"very good!"

A cruel smile appeared on Garin's pale face.

"What about Blackbeard and the Golden Emperor?"

"We are currently in contact with them, and we believe we will have a result soon!"

"Ah."

The five elders nodded in satisfaction.

Seraphim, air force, new admiral-level combat power, plus those pirates we can use...

This time, the forces they have gathered far exceed those of the Marineford War!

That brat named Lynn, no matter how strong he is, is doomed to die!

This time, I have the advantage!

Just as the five elders—Stars—rekindled their hope and prepared to discuss the next steps in their extermination plan.

BLU BRU BLU…

BLU BRU BLU…

Within the realm of power, an emergency encrypted telephone line suddenly rang.

The five people exchanged glances, and each saw a hint of displeasure in the other's eyes.

Nasujiro answered the phone, his voice icy.

"explain."

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi came a similarly cold, emotionless voice, clearly that of a top-notch agent who had undergone rigorous training.

"Reporting to the Five Elders."

"Just now, I received crucial intelligence from an informant who was infiltrating the Beasts Pirates."

"Demon Boy Lynn has confirmed the recruitment of three new top-tier combatants."

"Oh?" Nasujiro Sei's tone carried a hint of disdain. "Just a bunch of rabble."

"First place, former Shichibukai, 'Hawkeye' Dracule Mihawk."

"..."

A moment of stillness amidst the clash of powers.

A crack appeared on Nasujiro Seina's cold face.

Hawkeye? The world's greatest swordsman?

He actually... defected to Lynn?

"Continue." Garin Sei's voice turned somewhat gloomy.

"Second place, 'Devil's Heir,' Douglas Barrett."

boom!

This name, like a thunderclap, exploded in the minds of the five elders!

"Barrett?!" Saint Vochuli exclaimed in surprise. "That monster who escaped from Impel Down?! How is that possible! Wasn't he always a loner who didn't trust anyone?!"

They knew all too well how terrifying Barrett was.

That was a true monster, whose strength alone was enough to rival that of a Yonko pirate crew!

"According to intelligence, Barrett challenged Lynn. After Lynn displayed overwhelming power, Barrett voluntarily conceded defeat and requested to join the 'Godslayer Guild' in exchange for Lynn's guidance."

The CP member on the other end of the phone explained.

"..."

The five elders collectively fell silent.

They felt that their worldview had been shaken like never before.

How could someone as arrogant and aloof as Barrett willingly admit defeat and even ask for guidance?

What exactly did Lynn do to him?!

But it's not over yet.

"The third one," the Den Den Mushi's voice continued.

"A blind swordsman named 'Life'".

"lifetime?"

The Five Elders were taken aback; they had never heard of this name before.

“Never heard of him.” Nasu Shoulang’s tone regained a hint of composure. “An unknown nobody, not worth worrying about.”

Especially swordsmen.

Even if he's strong, can he be stronger than Hawkeye?

But soon.

The CP0 on the other end of the Den Den Mushi spoke in a purely declarative yet piercingly incisive tone, uttering a sentence that plunged the entire power structure into utter silence.

"Lord Five Old Stars."

"This person is one of the three general candidates we found through 'global recruitment'."

"According to the original plan, he should have arrived at the Navy Headquarters to report for duty in three days."

"But according to the latest intelligence, he did not go to the Marine Headquarters, but went directly to Onigashima."

"..."

"..."

Dead silence.

Absolute silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The five supreme leaders of the world government stood frozen in place, like five sculptures that had been instantly weathered away.

The confidence, composure, coldness, and cruelty on their faces...

At that moment, all the smoke and dust vanished.

They painstakingly used the resources hidden by the World Government for eight hundred years and went to great lengths to find three monsters from all over the world.

The results of it?

One of them ran off to defect to the enemy?

They were practically begging to vote for it?!

Is this justified? !

Is there any royal law for this? !

An indescribable, stifling, angry, and almost spitting-blood emotion surged to the top of the heads of the five elders.

They felt like an old farmer who had worked hard all year and was about to have a bumper harvest, but then the idle landlord next door just waved his hand and the best-growing cabbage in their field grew legs and ran over by itself!

Even though the Five Elders were very knowledgeable and experienced.

But it couldn't withstand the complete breach in its defenses and let out a roar.

"Damn Lynn the Demon Child!!"

Chapter 126 The Godslayer Guild Becomes the Focus of the World! The Four Emperors Meet, Lynn Wants to Divide the Territory!

"quack--"

Flocks of newspaper-delivering seagulls, like black clouds, sweep across the sky, scattering the latest newspapers to every corner of the world.

A pirate casually caught a falling newspaper, glanced at the headline, and his expression froze instantly.

The next second, he screamed in disbelief as if struck by lightning.

"Holy crap! Really?! Hawkeye joined?! The world's greatest swordsman?!"

The scream was like a bomb dropped into a calm lake.

More and more people picked up the newspapers, and then, the gasps and gasps that rose and fell merged into a terrifying sound wave that instantly swept through the entire street and spread to the whole island and the whole sea at a viral speed!

“And Barrett! That legendary ‘Devil’s Heir’! Isn’t he a lone wolf? How come he’s here too…”

"Who is Fujitora? Never heard of him... Wait! Meteorite?! He can summon meteorites?!"

"What kind of god-like lineup is this! A world's greatest swordsman, a monster who can take on the Four Emperors' crews single-handedly, and a ruthless person who can summon natural disasters! Plus Lynn himself and Kaido of the Beasts..."

"My God! This force... could it already rival the World Government?!"

"Arm wrestling? I'd say they'd just rub the ground in their hands! Godslayer Guild! That name is becoming more and more fitting!"

"I don't care anymore! From this day forward, Lord Lynn is my only faith! I'm going to sea! I'm joining the Godslayer Guild!"

"Count me in!"

The news spread like locusts with wings, sweeping across the world at an incredible speed.

Countless oppressed people, ambitious pirates, and even armies of some kingdoms have regarded the "Godslayer Guild" as a new totem.

……

Revolutionary Army Headquarters, Baldigo.

"VIVA! Revolutionary Army!"

The transvestite king, Ivankov, twisted his exaggerated body and let out an excited scream.

"Did you see that?! Dragon! That kid Lynn is practically our lucky star!"

Eastern Army Corps Commander Bello Betty, a cigarette dangling from his lips, smirked sharply: "Hmph, more than just a lucky charm. His antics have shown oppressed people all over the world another possibility for resistance. It's time to ignite the last flame in their hearts!"

Western Army Commander Mori brandished a giant harpoon, letting out a "hee-hee-hee" laugh: "What an amazing guy! Hawkeye, Barrett... these legendary monsters have all been recruited by him. The faces of those guys in the World Government must be blacker than the bottom of a pot right now!"

Southern Army Corps Commander Lindbergh pushed up his goggles, his eyes gleaming with the fervent light of a tech geek: "Incredible! The speed at which this force has amassed is completely illogical! What I'm even more curious about is how he managed to subdue these unruly powerhouses? This kind of organizational ability and personal charisma... is a subject worthy of our study!"

The Union Army commander, Raven, lowered his head, his voice hoarse beneath his cloak whispering as if countless crows were cawing simultaneously: "...The shadows of the world...deeper...chaos is the breeding ground for revolution..."

"With his actions, the world governments' attention has been completely drawn to him! Liberating those countries now couldn't be easier!" Ivankov concluded, appearing increasingly excited.

Sabo, standing to the side, looked at the contents of the newspaper with a complicated expression.

Shock, admiration, and a hint of inexplicable fighting spirit.

"One person turned the world upside down... What an amazing guy."

At the head of the table, Monkey D. Dragon, the man known as "the world's most dangerous criminal," simply gazed quietly out the window.

The wind blew, making the tattoos on his face flutter.

Whether he is a lucky star or not is still unknown.

The dragon's voice was deep and hoarse.

"Don't forget, he's still a pirate... it's just that so far, there haven't been any reports of him committing atrocities like burning, killing, and looting..."

"Hopefully he won't be influenced by Kaido of the Beasts..."

"Pass down the order to expedite our plans."

"Before this storm brought by the demon child completely upends the world, we need to take over more strongholds."
