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

"..."

The commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates—Marco, Jozu, Vista…—all had grim expressions.

The Red-Haired Pirates' executives, including Ben Beckman, Yasopp, and Lucky Roux, were gritting their teeth in hatred.

arrogant.

Arrogant.

Just as arrogant as Kaido!

"Kaido!!!"

Whitebeard's thunderous roar finally shattered the eerie silence!

"Is this how you raise your son?!"

"Let him run wild on my ship?!"

"You really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?!"

Whitebeard was truly enraged!

The anger went straight to Tianling Gai!

In his life, what storms hasn't he weathered?

But a little kid in open-crotch pants pointed his finger at him and challenged his entire group, even offering him four chances?!

This is simply a shame!

Shanks's expression also darkened, and the veins on his hand, which was gripping the hilt of Griffin's sword, bulged slightly.

"Kaido, take your son and leave."

Shanks' voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

"You are not welcome here."

"That was just a warning."

"If you continue this nonsense, I will show you no mercy!"

Upon hearing this, Kaido not backed down but became even more excited.

"Oh ho ho ho ho! Scared? Red-haired brat! White-bearded old man!"

"What? You're afraid to even accept a challenge from a child?"

"Do you really distrust your subordinates that much? Don't they even have the ability to deal with a child?!"

Kaido's words, which added fuel to the fire, made Whitebeard and Shanks' expressions even more unpleasant.

at this time.

"Captain! Let me teach this arrogant brat a lesson!"

A figure suddenly darted out from the Red-Haired Pirates' group!

It's Lockheed Martin!

He had previously delivered a letter to Whitebeard, but Lynn stole it... which made him depressed for a long time.

just now.

This is a great opportunity to prove myself!

"Loxda! Come back!" Ben Beckman's expression changed, and he shouted sharply.

But it's too late.

Rockstar had already rushed to the center of the deck, pointing at Lynn who was hovering in mid-air, and roared, "Kid! Don't think you're so great just because you defeated two Shichibukai! Today I'll show you the power of a Yonko pirate crew!"

He didn't finish his sentence.

Lynn glanced at him calmly with her dark eyes.

There was no anger, no disdain, as if he were looking at an insignificant ant on the roadside.

next second.

Lynn's right pupil suddenly contracted!

A crimson kaleidoscope appeared, spinning rapidly!

"Amaterasu!"

puff!

A cluster of pitch-black flames appeared out of nowhere on Loxda's shoulder!

"what--!!!"

A bloodcurdling scream, so shrill it was inhuman, instantly echoed through the sky!

Loxda was like a torch that had been set ablaze, rolling wildly on the deck and howling in agony!

The black flames, like maggots clinging to bones, could not be extinguished even slightly no matter how much he patted them or rubbed them against the ground!

Instead, it burned even more fiercely!

"Roxda!"

The members of the Red-Haired Pirates were shocked and rushed forward.

"Water! Bring me some water!"

"Something's wrong! This fire is strange! It can't be extinguished with water!"

"Use Haki! Cover it with Armament Haki!"

"It's useless! It's completely useless!"

"Where's Seastone?! Quickly try Seastone!"

"Seastone is useless... How is this possible?! What kind of ability is this?!"

Yasopp, Raki Luke, and others were in a panic, trying every possible method.

The water evaporated instantly when the bucket was poured on it!

If you try to swat it with your clothes, the clothes will burn to ashes!

Some even tried to use Armament Haki to block it, but the black flames seemed to have a life of their own, directly penetrating the Haki defense and continuing to burn Rockstar's body!

The air was filled with the stench of burning flesh!

Loxda's screams grew weaker and weaker; he was about to die!

"What kind of flame is this?!" Marco of the Whitebeard Pirates looked extremely grave.

He is a user of the Phoenix Fruit, and his control over fire is unmatched.

But he had never seen such bizarre and domineering black flames!

The other members of the Whitebeard Pirates were equally astonished.

"Step aside!"

Ben Beckman growled and pushed through the crowd.

His eyes were sharp as an eagle's, fixed on the ominous black flames on Loxda's body.

An incomparably powerful Conqueror's Haki, as if it were a tangible substance, pressed down fiercely on the ball of black flames!

Zizzi——!

The originally arrogant black flames began to shrink gradually after coming into contact with Ben Beckman's Conqueror's Haki.

"It works!" Yasopp's eyes lit up.

soon.

Under the influence of Conqueror's Haki, the black flames finally went out.

Pfft!

Lockstar was charred black and emitting blue smoke. He lay sprawled on the deck like a lump of mud, barely breathing and on his last legs.

Silence fell once again on the deck.

Everyone stared at the tiny, exquisitely beautiful figure suspended in mid-air, their eyes filled with indescribable apprehension and...fear!

At a glance!

Just a glance!

This almost killed a pirate with a bounty of nearly 100 million on the spot!

This bizarre and powerful ability is simply unheard of!

Lynn's small face still held that calm and composed expression.

His dark eyes darted around, and he spoke in a childish voice.

"This doesn't count."

"Sent."

Everyone: "???"

Sent?

You call this a gift?!

They almost burned someone to death, and you're telling me this was a freebie?!

In reality, it's because Loxstar is too weak.

It doesn't meet any of the system tasks at all... so the only option is to include it.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Red-Haired Pirates instantly turned ashen!

Especially the Yasopp!

Seeing his brother's miserable state and hearing Lynn's nonchalant, even disdainful, words, the anger in his chest surged to his head!

"Kid!!!"

Yasopp roared, his eyes, which always held a hint of mockery, now bloodshot!

He suddenly raised the long-barreled flintlock pistol in his hand, pointing the muzzle directly at Lynn!

"You are looking for death!!!"

"Hundred-shot Silver Bullet!"

Bang bang bang bang bang bang——!!!

A series of rapid gunshots rang out, like popping beans!

In an instant, hundreds of specially made bullets, gleaming with Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, pierced the air with terrifying force that could tear everything apart, and rained down on Lynn like a storm!

Every bullet contains the power to pierce through steel!

As they came one after another.

When they are lined up and connected to form a "bullet line", the destructive power they generate is so exaggerated that even a Yonko-level powerhouse would not dare to underestimate it!

"Lynn!"

Upon seeing this, Kaido's enormous dragon eyes flashed with anxiety.

He could certainly see how terrifying this move was.

Although Lynn has that eerie blue skull protecting him... the strength of Yasopp's move is clearly greater than the red hair's previous strike. The blue skull probably can't withstand it!

however.

Faced with this overwhelming barrage of bullets and water.

Lynn's small figure remained suspended in mid-air, neither dodging nor avoiding.

However, he slowly extended a chubby... index finger.

A tiny, insignificant purple light shone from the tip of the index finger.

The light was initially very faint, like a firefly in the dark.
