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

But what can he do?

Would he dare say "no"?

Unless he wants to experience that feeling of being punched to pieces again.

People under the eaves have to bow their heads!

Lynn ignored Doflamingo's expression, which looked like his father had just died.

His little head turned toward the Golden Emperor Tesoro.

"money."

The voice was childish and undeniably sweet.

Tesoro shuddered, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace: "No...no problem! Lord Demon Child, whatever the price, is no problem!"

Fortunately, he had plenty of money.

For the sake of my own life, spending a little money is nothing.

Lynn stretched out a chubby little finger.

Tesoro's eyelids twitched, and he tentatively asked, "One...one hundred million Berries?"

Lynn shook her head.

Tesoro's heart skipped a beat. Could it be... a billion?

The number made him wince a little, but he could still accept it.

"One billion Berries, I'll have them prepared immediately!"

Lynn shook her head again, her little mouth slightly pouting, and uttered three words.

"Ten billion."

"puff--!"

Tesoro almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

Ten billion? !

Why don't you go grab it?!

No, isn't this robbery?

"hiss--!!!"

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd!

10 billion Pelés!

This little devil is going to squeeze the Golden Emperor dry!

Jack and the Beasts Pirates members behind him had their eyes practically popping out of their sockets!

Ten billion!

Young Master Lynn is really asking for an exorbitant amount!

But... well done!

Upon hearing this number, Doflamingo felt a significant relief from his excruciating heartache and a greater sense of psychological balance.

His artificial Devil Fruits are worth at most a billion or two billion.

The Golden Emperor started with 10 billion.

He still lost more money.

Chapter 35: Eating Two Artificial Devil Fruits in a Row? Everyone Was Stunned!

Tesoro stared at Lynn's chubby little finger as he heard the number "ten billion," and his whole body went numb.

He felt as if his heart had been gripped tightly by an invisible hand, then thrown into an ice cellar and frozen for three days and three nights, before being taken out and smashed to pieces with a hammer!

Ten billion!

That's one-twentieth of his total assets as the Golden Emperor!

Are you just going to ask to go over like that?

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when he met Lynn's calm yet authoritative gaze, all the words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

He had no doubt that if he dared to say "no" or show the slightest hesitation, the little devil would make him experience what it truly meant to feel the "elegy of the golden one"!

“No…no problem!” Tesoro squeezed out the three words through gritted teeth, each word feeling like it was cutting into his flesh. “I’ll call right away and have someone send the money over…it will take a little time, so I hope you can wait patiently.”

Lynn nodded.

Jack and the Beasts Pirates behind him were shouting with excitement!

10 billion Pelés!

There are so many artificial Devil Fruits!

This trip to Dressrosa was absolutely fantastic!

Young Master Lynn, you're awesome!

soon.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

One by one, heavy boxes were thrown to the ground with a loud thud.

The box was opened, revealing all sorts of strangely shaped, differently colored "fruits" that exuded an eerie aura.

These are the artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruits—SMILE—created by Doflamingo and Caesar Clown together!

There were so many that they piled up into a small mountain!

The air was filled with a strange smell that was both sweet and rotten.

The members of the Beasts Pirates were stunned when they saw so many SMILE Devil Fruits!

They were all breathing heavily, their faces showing greed and excitement!

These SMILEs, although only one in ten succeed, will cause the loser to forever lose the expressions of sadness and anger, turning them into a "pleasure" who can only laugh.

But if successful, you will gain powerful Zoan-type abilities!

For the Beasts Pirates, who crave power, this is undoubtedly a huge temptation!

"Oh ho ho ho ho! So many SMILEs! We're rich! We're rich!"

"Once we get back, the strength of our Beasts Pirates will increase significantly!"

"Thank you, Young Master Lynn!"

Everyone bowed to Lynn, their faces filled with gratitude and admiration.

Jack was also grinning from ear to ear, his legs practically bulging with laughter.

He could already imagine how happy Kaido would be to see so many SMILEs!

Young Master Lynn, you've done a great job this time!

however.

Just as everyone was immersed in joy and excitement.

Lynn's small figure floated down from mid-air.

He strode with his short legs to the mountain of SMILE fruits.

Its large, dark eyes curiously examined these strangely shaped "fruits".

then.

In the stunned eyes of everyone.

Lynn stretched out her chubby little hand and picked up a SMILE fruit from the box. It looked like a banana, but its skin was covered with strange spiral patterns.

He tilted his head, as if he was studying something.

next second.

"Click."

Lynn opened her small mouth and took a small bite of the SMILE fruit.

"..."

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The entire dock fell into a deathly silence.

You can hear a pin drop!

The smiles on the faces of the Beasts Pirates members instantly froze!

Jack's arrogant smile froze on his face, his eyes widened like copper bells, and his mouth was agape enough to fit a fist!

Doflamingo and his subordinates were also completely bewildered and astonished.

The Golden Emperor Tesoro and the underworld bosses watched with bated breath.

What... what's going on?!

“Lin…Young Master Lynn?!” Jack’s voice trembled, filled with disbelief and terror. “What…what are you doing?!”

"That thing... that thing can't be eaten casually!" A Gifter from the Beasts Pirates cried out, his voice trembling with anxiety.

This is a SMILE fruit!

Only a one in ten success rate!

If you fail, you'll become a useless person who can only laugh!

What if... what if young master Lynn has bad luck...

They dare not think!

If Kaido finds out, he'll skin them alive!

"Young Master Lynn! Spit it out! Spit it out!"

"That stuff is poisonous! Eating it will cause serious harm!"

The Beasts Pirates were in complete uproar!

They were all so anxious they were pacing around in circles, wishing they could rush up and pry the fruit out of Lynn's mouth!

But they dared not!

They had witnessed Lynn's temper firsthand!

Everyone around who witnessed this scene felt their eyelids twitch; they felt no schadenfreude whatsoever, only tension and worry.

What if this little darling is not happy after eating it?

Are you taking your anger out on them again?

however.

Lynn ignored the noise around her.

He chewed a few times with his little mouth, and then swallowed the piece of fruit with a "gulp".

On her little face, a... well, it seemed she wasn't quite satisfied.

It's as if it's saying: The taste isn't very good.

[Ding! Detected that the host has consumed the artificial Devil Fruit SMILE (Snake Form).]

The system notification sounded in Lynn's mind.

One more to go.

then.

Under the horrified gazes of everyone, whose eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
