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

"You didn't eat the fruit, did you?!"

Being able to fly doesn't count as a skill, that's fine.

Opening eight gates doesn't count as an ability; indeed, there aren't any abilities that are so bizarre.

But this black fire perfectly matches the characteristics of a Devil Fruit ability!

"Yeah!"

Lynn shook her head.

Kaido immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But he still wasn't completely relaxed.

"So where did this will-o'-the-wisp come from?"

The Three Calamities, the Flying Six, the Barbarians, and the others all looked equally curious.

Lynn blinked her big, dark eyes, her little brain working at lightning speed.

soon.

He struggled to pry half of his body out of Kaido's palm, gesturing with his small hands on Kaido's rough dragon scales.

Everyone understood.

Young master is going to write!

The dragon scales were so hard that Lynn's fingernails were almost worn down, leaving only a few shallow, barely visible scratches.

But, enough is enough.

Even Kaido and King, with their exceptional eyesight, could barely make out the two crooked, illegible characters.

[Understand!]

The moment I saw those two words clearly.

The entire palace on Oni Island fell into a deathly silence once again.

All the officers of the Beasts Pirates, including the Three Disasters, looked at each other in bewilderment.

To comprehend... or to grasp?!

The ability to fly... was it something you figured out?!

So what about the Eight Gates Formation, and those green steam, blue steam, blood-red steam... were they something you comprehended?!

Those eerie blood-red eyes, those black flames that made even Governor Kaido's scalp tingle... were they also something he comprehended?!

This... this is some kind of heaven-defying comprehension!

This is beyond what the word "genius" can describe!

"Woo..."

“Woo-lo-lo…”

"Woohoo ...

A deafening, maniacal laugh, louder and more violent than ever before, suddenly erupted from Kaido's mouth!

The entire island of demons trembled violently at his terrifying laughter!

The palace beams were trembling and shaking, as if they might collapse at any moment!

"Enlightenment?! Hahahaha! What a wonderful enlightenment!"

Kaido laughed wildly, his enormous dragon face filled with unparalleled pride and madness!

"He truly is the son I chose!"

"At such a young age, he has actually mastered these outrageous moves!"

"Woohoo! My son is the chosen one! He is destined to surpass all others!"

Kaido's laughter was filled with domineering power, ecstasy, and boundless anticipation for the future!

He suddenly lifted Lynn up to his eyes, his huge dragon eyes flashing with a fiery light.

"Kid! From today onwards! All the best resources on Ghost Island will be given to you first!"

"I'm going to make you grow up as fast as possible!"

"I'll show the whole world what a magnificent being my son, Kaido's son, will be!"

however.

His response was a steady, soft breathing sound.

Lynn, with his head tilted to the side, had already fallen into a deep sleep amidst his excited roar.

Having opened the Eight Gates in succession and forcibly activated Amaterasu, his mental and physical strength had long been exhausted to the limit.

It's a miracle that they've made it this far.

"Ok?"

Kaido looked at the sleeping Lynn, and the excited expression on his huge dragon face froze slightly.

Then, he carefully and gently placed Lynn on the large animal skin bed that Jin had prepared beforehand, which was covered with the softest cloud fox fur.

His movements were so gentle that they contrasted sharply with his large, rugged body.

"Send the order!"

Kaido turned around, his voice still loud, but with an undeniable seriousness.

"From today onwards, Lynn's safety will be raised to the highest level!"

"Anyone! Who dares to harbor any ill intentions towards him..."

A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Kaido's eyes, and a terrifying killing intent spread out.

"Kill without mercy!"

"Yes, Governor Kaido!"

King, Queen, Jack, and all the other Beasts Pirates executives knelt on one knee, their voices filled with fervor and awe!

The way they looked at the sleeping baby on the large animal-skin bed had completely changed.

He was no longer simply a young master.

That's the future of the Beasts Pirates!

Chapter 18: Terror in Wano Country! Blackbeard: A flying...baby?!

at the same time.

The new world, the country of Wano.

The City of Flowers, the General's Residence.

Singing and dancing, wine ponds and meat forests.

The shogun of Wano Country, Orochi, was embracing several beautifully dressed geishas, ​​completely drunk, his ugly face filled with smugness and indulgence.

"Hehehehe... Little Purple, pour this general another cup!"

The black charcoal serpent let out a high-pitched, unpleasant laugh, leering at the renowned courtesan, Komurasaki, beside him.

Below him, Kyoshiro and his retainers and samurai were drinking and making merry, with flattery ringing out incessantly.

The entire banquet hall was filled with an atmosphere of extravagance and decadence.

This stands in stark contrast to the impoverished lives of people in other parts of Wano Country.

at this time.

Tatata!

There was a sound of rapid footsteps.

A ninja in charge of intelligence rushed in, looking flustered, and knelt down directly in front of Kurozumi Orochi, not daring to lift his head.

"General... General! No... something terrible has happened! Urgent intelligence!"

Kurozumi Orochi was enjoying his drink when this sudden interruption greatly displeased him. He mumbled through his drunken eyes, "..."

"You insolent fool! What's the matter that you're in such a panic?! Can't you see that I, the general, am entertaining distinguished guests?!"

"If you can't give me a straight answer, you'll regret it!"

The ninja trembled with fear and quickly kowtowed, saying, "General, please calm down! It's...it's the World Government that has issued a new bounty!"

"A bounty poster?"

Orochi curled his lip and said nonchalantly, "Wano Country is closed off from the world. What do we care about what happens outside?"

Kyoshiro stood to the side, holding a wine glass, a faint smile playing on his lips, seemingly unconcerned about such matters.

The ninja swallowed hard, his voice trembling as he said, "But this time, the bounty... is one billion Berries!"

"A billion?"

"so what?!"

Kurozumi Orochi said angrily, "If you dare to spoil my mood with this kind of nonsense again, believe me, I'll kill you right now!"

"General... this 'demon child' Lynn, with a bounty of one billion..."

The ninja's voice trembled like a leaf.

"According to the latest information from our spies infiltrating Onigashima..."

"He...he is..."

"Lord Kaido of the Beasts... his newly adopted son!!!"

puff!

Kurozumi Orochi spat out a mouthful of sake.

He was so shocked that he jumped up from his seat.

The drunkenness, smugness, and contempt on his face vanished instantly!

Instead, there was extreme fear, a deep-seated horror!

"You...you...what did you say?!"

Kurozumi Orochi's voice became shrill and distorted.

Kaido... Kaido's adopted son?!

A demon child?!

One billion?!

Are you kidding me? !

And the most important thing is.

It's a bad omen for this demon child to appear anywhere.

Why did he have to appear on Onigashima and become Kaido's adopted son?!

The Beasts Pirates, a behemoth that was already suffocating him, now has another terrifying existence with boundless potential!

For the first time, Kyoshiro's face, which always wore a playful smile, showed a stiff expression.

His knuckles were slightly white as he held the wine glass.

Kaido's adopted son...

A prodigy with a billion-dollar bounty...

These two pieces of information combined mean that the hope of restoring Wano Country has become even more remote!

……

a few days later.
