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

"Blood Bone" Cass, along with his 300-plus-pound body, vanished from his spot in an instant.

The surrounding crowd fell silent instantly.

Everyone looked at the silent figure with awe.

"next."

Fujitora's voice rang out again, as if nothing had happened.

Having learned from past mistakes, those who followed became much more cautious.

Fujitora's review process is simple and brutal.

He doesn't need you to introduce yourself or demonstrate your abilities.

He can see right through your deepest thoughts just by "looking" at you.

Loyalty, or betrayal?

Ambitious, or greedy.

Courage, or cowardice?

Before his perception and observation, nothing can hide.

Occasionally, some people who are unwilling to be eliminated and think they are strong try to cause trouble.

But without exception.

They would all be sent to an unknown distance by a slap from the Tyrant Bear, embarking on a spontaneous journey.

of course there are exceptions.

"Oh?"

A rare look of surprise appeared on Fujitora's face.

In front of him stood a swordsman with a grass root in his mouth and a lazy expression.

“In your heart, I see the unwavering path.”

"But your path seems out of place here."

The swordsman spat out the grass root and grinned.

"There's no way around it, I owe someone a favor and I have to repay it."

"Moreover, I also want to see what kind of person that kid named Lynn really is."

Fujitora nodded.

"Go over there."

He pointed to the side.

Tyrant Bear is standing there.

"If you can survive three rounds under his command, you can not only join the Godslayer Guild, but also become one of its executives."

The swordsman raised an eyebrow and drew his sword from his waist.

"bring it on!"

……

Just a few days.

[Ding! 100 new members added to the guild!]

[Ding! 300 new members added to the guild!]

[Ding! A lieutenant general-level elite combatant has been detected!]

[Ding! The total number of guild members has exceeded one thousand!]

[Ding! The guild now boasts three elite guild generals!]

The constant system notifications in his mind put him in a good mood.

At this rate, completing the task is only a matter of time.

Most importantly, he didn't have to do anything throughout the whole process; he could simply be a hands-off manager and collect rewards while lying down.

This was probably the easiest of all the tasks.

Just then, Doflamingo strode into the hall with his signature steps.

“Fufufufufu… President.”

"The information you requested has arrived."

He handed a document to Lynn.

"All of the Heavenly Gold's transport ships have set sail."

"There are five routes in total, escorted by five kings personally, and each route is escorted by at least three naval headquarters warships."

"but……"

Doflamingo pushed up his sunglasses.

"According to my intelligence network, the total value of these five trips to the heavens is probably less than 50 billion Berries."

"It seems that the defeat in the Marineford War has created a considerable hole in the World Government's finances."

Five hundred billion.

We are still halfway to reach the mission target of 100 billion.

“That’s not enough…”

Lynn touched his chin.

Everyone else in the hall looked at him.

Hawkeye, Crocodile, Empress Hancock, Barrett.

They were all waiting for Lynn's orders.

"How about this."

Lynn casually tossed the file onto the table.

"Crocodile, Empress, Doflamingo, Hawkeye, Barrett."

"The five of you will each be responsible for one route."

"You can pick and take any of the new recruits on the island."

He paused, then grinned.

"The money you steal is yours to keep."

"I don't want a single cent."

The words fell.

Crocodile's lips curled into a sinister smile.

Doflamingo's laughter grew increasingly arrogant.

Hancock looked at Lynn with a shy expression, as if receiving this mission was the greatest honor.

Even Hawkeye, who is usually uninterested in money, showed a hint of interest in his eyes.

Only Barrett spoke up impatiently.

"I have no interest in money!"

"When can we have a big game?!"

Lynn glanced at him.

"Don't worry, there will be opportunities."

He looked at Doflamingo.

"Where are the Celestial Dragons located? Any news?"

Doflamingo's smile froze, and he shook his head.

"No."

"Because you've been so popular lately, those good-for-nothings are all too scared to come out and are hiding in Mary Geoise."

“My men couldn’t find any information about them going out.”

"Tch, a bunch of cowards."

Lynn pouted, somewhat disappointed.

"Alright, let's go."

"Let's get the money first."

"Yes! President!"

The crowd responded in unison and turned to leave.

however.

Just then, a member of the Nine Snake Island forces rushed in.

"Reporting to Chairman Lynn!"

"Outside...there's a guy outside who calls himself the 'Golden Emperor,' and he wants to see you!"

"Golden Emperor?"

Everyone in the hall stopped in their tracks, their faces showing surprise.

Gilder Tezzolo.

The man who controls the world's largest entertainment complex and owns 20% of the world's Pelé.

He has always maintained close ties with the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.

What is he doing here?

The key is.

The Golden Emperor suffered quite a defeat at the hands of the guild leader... he was almost beaten to death on the spot.

Lynn raised an eyebrow as well.

Although the other party's purpose is unclear.

But since they've come knocking at this sensitive time, there must be something significant going on.

"Let him in."

soon.

A man dressed in a pink suit, wearing star-shaped sunglasses, and exuding an aura of jewels, walked into the hall surrounded by a group of bodyguards in black.

It was none other than the Golden Emperor, Gild Tezzolo.

He glanced around at everyone in the hall, and when he saw Hawkeye, Crocodile, and Barrett—the legendary monsters—his pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.

Such a luxurious lineup made him break out in a cold sweat.

"As expected of the Godslayer Guild..."

He quickly regained his composure and focused his attention on Lynn, who was in the lead.

He didn't waste any words and got straight to the point.

"Lynn the Demon Child".

"I've come to make a deal with you."

"I need you to kill someone for me."

"As compensation, I am willing to pay... 10 billion Berries."

Ten billion!

This number surprised both Doflamingo and Crocodile, who were present.
