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

"Is it Kaido? Or Shanks?! Or Whitebeard?!"

"No... Marshal..."

Gion bit her lip and managed to utter a few words.

"It's not them..."

"The one who attacked us... was Lynn the Demon Child from the Beasts Pirates!"

"..."

Once again, there was a deathly silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru, and the three admirals present—Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji—the entire highest echelon of the Navy, were all frozen in place, their faces showing the same disbelief!

“Kaido’s bastard…” Akainu Sakazuki’s fists clenched so tightly they cracked, a wisp of hot smoke rising from between his fingers, his eyes so dark they could drip water.

"Oh dear... this brat, I'm afraid I can't ignore him even if I want to." Aokiji Kuzan straightened up from his chair.

"Lynn the Demon Child...why did he attack the Navy?!"

Sengoku was incredulous and utterly baffled. "And you and Chaton, both lieutenant generals of the headquarters! And general candidates at that... His strength is indeed formidable, but how could he possibly have reached such a level?!"

"It's true, Marshal."

Gion's voice was filled with bitterness and shame, "He only used one move... that move was very strange. It was clearly just a fingertip cannon similar to Admiral Borsalino's, but its actual power was incredibly amazing!"

"Even the two of us combined couldn't stop them!"

Everyone's pupils dilated involuntarily.

one move!

Repelled two general candidates!

It even caused a general candidate to faint on the spot... which is equivalent to an instant kill!

What kind of fantasy is this?!

"Oh~?"

Borsalino slowly extended a finger, its tip gleaming with light, and exaggeratedly drawled, "Similar to my laser? This is truly... terrifying~"

"Where is Lynn the Demon Child now?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru calmly asked, "Are you still pursuing them?"

Gion glanced at the incredible battlefield in the distance and replied in a dry voice:

"Do not."

"He's fighting Shanks..."

hiss~~

Garp let out an exaggerated gasp.

The others were equally astonished.

Even Akainu, who usually only had a gloomy and angry expression, couldn't help but change his expression drastically at this moment.

Fighting Shanks?!

Those are the Four Emperors.

Moreover, he's a guy whose strength is widely recognized as unfathomable, comparable to Whitebeard... Lynn the Demon Child is strong, that's for sure.

But how could it possibly compare to Shanks?

"and……"

"Red-Haired Shanks...it seems like I can't even touch him..."

Gion's words are so startling they could kill anyone.

These words sent chills down the spines of the naval high command.

"Are you kidding me?!"

Akainu couldn't help but question, "Shanshan can't touch him?! Gion! Did you see that clearly?! That's Shanks, one of the Four Emperors!"

"General Sakazuki...it's true..."

Momousagi's tone was filled with a deep sense of helplessness, "Red-Haired Shanks' attacks, whether sword techniques or hand-to-hand combat, were all perfectly dodged by that brat..."

"Not a single one...missed!"

Chapter 56 The Prodigy Became a Prodigy?! Shanks Admits Defeat!

Dead silence.

The silence was so profound you could hear a pin drop.

Every word Gion uttered on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of the highest levels of the Navy!

"Not a single...hit?!"

The Warring States Marshal's voice was extremely strained, and every word conveyed a deep sense of disbelief.

He glanced at Karp beside him instinctively.

Garp's face, which always wore a sly smile, froze completely at this moment, his mouth slightly open, his expression extremely serious and grave.

"Gion...are you sure you didn't see wrong?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru's wise eyes were now filled with turbulent waves.

This is completely mind-blowing!

Shanks, one of the Four Emperors!

That's a monster who could go toe-to-toe with Roger and Whitebeard!

His attack... couldn't even touch a toddler who was just over a year old?!

"Absolutely true!"

Gion's voice trembled slightly, yet remained exceptionally firm.

"Moreover, the appearance of the current demon child Lynn has changed quite a bit... He used to be full of blood and energy, but now, a layer of silver-white halo has appeared around him, and even his hair has turned silver-white!"

"He doesn't seem like a demon child anymore."

"But... a prodigy! A god among gods!"

Gion's voice still came clearly from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

Silvery-white halo?

Silver-white hair?

What tricks is that devilish Lynn up to now?!

Kizaru Borsalino pushed up his sunglasses, his habitual lewd smile fading considerably, and his tone unusually serious.

"Oh my gosh~ This is truly... incredible information~"

"An evasion ability that even Shanks couldn't handle... This demon child Lynn can no longer be simply described as a 'monster'."

Aokiji Kuzan crossed his arms, his eyes gleaming.

"It seems that our previous assessment of him was too low."

"It's more than just low!"

The Warring States period was so somber that it seemed like water could drip from his face.

A little rascal, just over a year old!

First, he instantly killed two general candidates and severely injured one!

Now, he is effortlessly surviving the fierce attacks of the Yonko Shanks!

What the hell is this monster?!

"Immediately! Upgrade all intelligence regarding the demon child Lynn to the highest level!"

Zhan Guo took a deep breath, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"His level of threat... is probably no less than Kaido's!"

"Even...more dangerous!"

Upon hearing this, Garp nodded silently, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"This kid... he's growing up too fast."

"It's almost here...it's terrifying."

"I am a general," said Lieutenant General Crane in a deep voice.

"This matter must be reported to the Five Elders immediately!"

"The existence of this demon child Lynn is enough to shake the very foundations of the world!"

"The world... is probably really about to change..."

……

On the battlefield.

Shanks' offensive is getting faster and fiercer!

Griffin transformed into a deadly, cold light, each swing carrying a terrifying power capable of tearing everything apart!

Black, dominant-colored lightning raged wildly around him, churning the surrounding seawater into chaos!

however!

Lynn remained as calm and collected as ever.

His body, as if boneless, twisted and bent in all sorts of unbelievable ways.

Shanks' blade narrowly grazed his body each time.

The strong wind it generated made the stray hairs on his forehead fly wildly.

But I just can't touch it!

I couldn't touch it at all!

"I can't hit it... why can't I hit it?"

"What should we do now?!"

"Is even the red-haired boss going to lose?!"

"Is this kid even human?!"

The crew members of the Red-Haired Pirates were all clutching their hair, their expressions broken, as if they had lost their parents.

The crew of the Whitebeard Pirates weren't in much better shape.

Their complexions were also extremely pale.

"Even the redhead..."

In Whitebeard's hawk-like eyes, besides astonishment, there was also an unyielding solemnity.

As a strong person.

While others are fighting, he also considers how he would react and what his chances of winning would be if he were to fight the enemy himself.

Based solely on what Whitebeard has observed so far.

Facing the demon child Lynn.

His conclusion was... the odds of winning were unclear!

Kaido's enormous dragon head also fell silent at this moment.

His lantern-like dragon eyes stared intently at Lynn.
