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

A brightly colored venomous snake emerged from some crack in the rocks.

It raised its triangular head high, its scarlet tongue flicking in and out, its cold, vertical pupils locking onto Lynn's back.

This little thing looks so delicate and tender, it's perfect as a snack!

The venomous snake suddenly sprang out, baring its fangs, and bit down on Lynn's nape!

Lynn was completely unaware of this.

At the critical moment!

boom!

A black shadow flashed.

The venomous snake was smashed into a pulp, splattering all over the ground.

Hearing the loud noise, Lynn had no idea what was going on; he couldn't even turn over.

But then he saw Kaido turn around.

Stretched out his hand.

He flicked a small stone towards us with his finger.

"Annoying little bugs."

Kaido muttered something impatiently and continued walking.

Lynn finally understood what had just happened... Kaido saved him!

That being the case.

That favor must be repaid no matter what!

He mustered his strength.

His gaze became exceptionally sharp.

"Ok?"

Kaido, seemingly sensing something, stopped and turned around.

next second.

Om-! ! !

An invisible wave of energy suddenly swept out from Lynn's small body!

This aura is not the simple intimidation of ordinary Conqueror's Haki.

It is more refined, more pure, and carries a supreme and majestic majesty that originates from the very source of life!

The air itself seemed to freeze under this overwhelming force!

The surrounding pebbles and grass blades silently turned to dust!

Even several large trees in the distance, which required several people to encircle, instantly developed countless cracks, as if they would collapse at any moment!

Kaido had already turned around, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief appeared in his copper bell-like eyes!

That domineering aura...

So strong!

It was stronger than any Conqueror's Haki he had ever seen!

Even more... amazing potential than he was back then!

How can this be? !

A newborn baby awakens Conqueror's Haki?

And it's this kind of... monstrous level Conqueror's Haki?!

Kaido has lived for so long, what storms hasn't he seen?

But what he saw before him completely overturned his understanding!

His own Conqueror's Haki is already top-tier.

But the potential that this baby was unleashing made him feel a chill run down his spine!

Who is this kid...?

Kaido's expression changed.

It's no longer the indifference of before.

Instead, it was filled with deep surprise and scrutiny, and a hint of... excitement that even he himself didn't realize!

interesting!

So funny!

Chapter 2 Members of the Beasts Gang: Greetings, Young Master Lynn!

Kaido stared at the pink little ball of flesh on the ground, his surprise and doubt gradually replaced by a kind of fanatical excitement.

Overlord color!

So pure, so oppressive, is the color of a conqueror!

It actually came from a newborn baby!

This is even more outrageous than what I did back then!

"Hiccup..." Kaido hiccuped again, but his eyes were unusually clear.

He thought of his good-for-nothing daughter, Yamato.

He keeps clamoring to be like Kozuki Oden; it's utterly shameful!

It's ruined!

Look at this little thing in front of you...

He was born with such an amazing Conqueror's Haki!

This is the successor Lao Tzu wanted!

Kaido grinned, revealing a hideous smile.

"Kid, from today onwards, you are my son!"

He didn't give Lynn a chance to react at all. His huge hand carefully reached out and gently lifted Lynn's limp body.

"I'll call you... Lynn!"

Kaido casually decided on a name, his voice like a rumbling thunderclap.

Lynn: "..."

What the hell!

Is it really Lynn?

Same name as me?

What is this? Fate?

but……

Survived!

The bet was right!

Kaido, that madman, actually adopted me just because of my Conqueror's Haki!

Lynn was overjoyed; his survival instinct temporarily suppressed his worries about the future.

He's just a baby now, only able to make meaningless babbling sounds.

But in Kaido's eyes, the babbling sound, coupled with the tear stains on Lynn's face (which were actually from pain), was a "joyful" response to his decision!

"Hahaha! Great! Interesting!"

Kaido was even more pleased, feeling that this kid was on his side.

He carefully adjusted his position, placing Lynn on his broad shoulders.

wrong.

The shoulders are not stable.

Kaido thought for a moment and then simply placed Lynn on his head.

Yes, the dragon throne, that's more impressive!

Lynn was placed on Kaido's hard, horny scalp, feeling the vibrations and warmth coming from below, and he was completely stunned.

This treatment... isn't it a bit too much?

"Hold on tight, kid!"

Kaido roared.

boom--! ! !

His massive body instantly transformed into a majestic azure dragon, soaring into the sky!

The wind howled, easily tearing the clouds apart.

Lynn felt dizzy and the wind was whistling in his ears.

He was held in place on top of Kaido's dragon head by an invisible force, so he didn't have to worry about falling off.

From a high altitude, the islands below appear to shrink rapidly.

Kaido, in his dragon form, flew rapidly in one direction.

Our destination: Wano Country, Onigashima Island!

……

Oni Island, inside the giant skull fortress.

Banquet hall.

The senior officers of the Beasts Pirates are drinking and making a ruckus.

"Boss Jin, another drink!"

"Lord Quinn, you've gained weight again!"

"Stop talking nonsense! I'm strong because I'm strong!"

The three calamities—"The Plague" Jhin, "The Plague" Quinn, and "The Drought" Jake—each occupy a territory.

The Flying Six—Foz Foz, Black Maria, Sasaki, Ulti, and Page One—were also making a ruckus in their respective territories.

The atmosphere was both lively and chaotic.

at this time.

Boom!

With a loud crash, a huge hole was smashed open in the ceiling of the hall!

Gravel and wood chips fell with a clatter.

A massive dragon head peered inside!

It was Kaido who had just returned!

"Boss Kaido!"

"The governor is back!"

The noisy hall fell silent instantly, and everyone stood up, looking at Kaido with awe.

Kaido transformed back into human form and landed with a thud, shaking the ground three times.

In his hands, he was carefully cradling a... baby?
