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

They looked at the baby floating in mid-air, its body steaming with blue vapor, and then looked in the direction where Doberman had disappeared.

My mind went completely blank!

Doberman!

Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!

Known for his martial arts and slashing skills, he is a ruthless character nicknamed "Fighting Dog"!

He was actually... he was sent flying by a single punch from a baby who was just over a year old, and his fate is unknown!

And this was even with iron blocks used for defense?!

What... what kind of monster is this?!

Sasaki was completely dumbfounded, his mouth agape wide enough to fit a watermelon!

He knew that Young Master Lynn was strong, had strong Conqueror's Haki, and could fly.

But opening some unknown "door" could send a lieutenant general flying?

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes...

He thought he was dreaming!

He sent Doberman flying with a single punch.

The entire battlefield was deathly silent.

You can hear a pin drop.

All eyes, whether on the Navy or the remnants of the Beasts Pirates, were fixed on the small figure in mid-air.

Blue steam swirled around him, and his pure white eyes were devoid of any emotion.

Lynn was like a god or demon descended to earth.

Just then, a cold system notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host has decisively defeated a Vice Admiral from the Navy Headquarters!]

[Mission "Challenge Above Your Level"... Completed!]

[Task Evaluation: Perfect!]

[Mission Rewards: Huge increase in Conqueror's Haki cap!]

An invisible warm current flowed through my body, as if a dried-up riverbed had been nourished by rain.

The mental energy that had been somewhat depleted from forcibly activating Conqueror's Haki seemed to have been replenished.

but.

This is far from enough!

Lynn's face remained tense.

He could clearly feel the violent power within his body, generated by the Eight Gates Formation, rapidly dissipating.

Opening the seventh gate, the Gate of Shock, is far too much of a burden for his current young body!

Even the optimized version without side effects can't withstand this level of consumption.

He was able to forcefully unleash that punch just now.

It was already a very difficult task.

His chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath.

Each breath carried hot, white steam.

The blue steam swirling around him visibly began to thin and its color gradually dimmed.

The terrifying aura that almost froze one's soul began to weaken.

"He...he seems to be failing?"

A sharp-eyed naval officer, his voice trembling, pointed at Lynn in mid-air.

These words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake!

"It's true! Look! The blue steam on his body has decreased!"

"The momentum... the momentum is also weakening!"

"Damn it! That scared the hell out of me! I thought I was really going to die here today!"

The relief of escaping death brought some naval soldiers to tears of joy.

Onigumo and Momonga exchanged a glance, both seeing in each other's eyes a hint of shock at surviving a close call, and... a renewed fighting spirit!

"This brat... he really is overdrawing his power!"

Oni Spider's eyes turned cold.

"That last burst was probably his final outburst!"

"That's right!"

A glint flashed in the flying squirrel's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Although Doberman was sent flying, this brat is definitely not in good shape either!"

"He is at his weakest point right now!"

"catch him!"

"As long as we can capture him alive, it doesn't matter if the mission to attack G-58 fails today!"

"Using him to control Kaido... this sea will be much more peaceful!"

The fear in their eyes faded, replaced by an even more fervent sense of justice!

"Everyone who can still move! Listen up!"

Ghost Spider roared, its eight spider-arm-like blades pointing at Lynn, "Capture that brat alive at all costs!"

"Taking him down is equivalent to securing at least ten years of peace over this sea!"

"Yes!"

The surviving naval officers, listen to my command.

They roared, brandishing guns and knives, and once again surrounded Lynn.

Although they were still shaken, they also knew how important Lynn was... to fight to the death for justice and peace!

"Damn it! You despicable navy men!"

Sasaki, his eyes bloodshot, dragged his heavily injured body and brandished his spiral blade, trying to charge forward.

"Protect Young Master Lynn!"

However, few of his Beasts Pirates crew members remained, and all of them were wounded, making them no match for the ferocious Marines.

It looked like the navy's encirclement was about to be completed.

In mid-air, Lynn's pure white eyes flashed with a crazy determination!

Are they trying to take advantage of my illness and kill me?

Not that easy!

I'm going to fight you!

"Roar!!!"

Lynn looked up and let out a roar that was not like that of a baby, but full of primal wildness!

His small body jolted violently!

The remaining energy in his body, like the last fuel, was ignited without hesitation!

"The Eighth Gate - The Gate of Death..."

Chapter 9: The Navy is scared off by the Eight Gates!

He used all his strength to roar out each word!

boom--! ! !

An aura several times more terrifying than when the seventh gate was opened suddenly exploded from his body!

The thin blue steam was instantly replaced by a deeper, more ominous... blood-red steam!

Blood-red steam, like boiling magma, churned and roared violently around his small body!

The air crackled and popped as it was scorched, and fine black cracks began to appear in the space itself!

this moment.

Time stood still!

Everyone froze!

Those navy soldiers who had just been charging forward with great momentum were frozen in place, their faces filled with extreme fear and disbelief!

Their bodies were trembling violently and uncontrollably!

What kind of power is this?!

This aura... made them feel that if they got even a little closer, they would be completely evaporated, leaving not even ashes behind!

The ferocity on the faces of the Oni Spider and the Flying Squirrel was completely replaced by boundless horror!

They opened their mouths wide, making strange "clucking" sounds from their throats, but they couldn't utter a single complete syllable!

My heart was about to jump out of my chest!

Blood-red steam!

Are you kidding me? !

This little monster... he can actually open doors?!

"General... I've only ever felt this kind of aura from a general!"

"Pfft!"

Some naval soldiers couldn't withstand the terrifying pressure and their legs went weak, causing them to kneel on the ground, their crotches becoming wet and hot.

Even Sasaki, who was far away, was so shocked by this sudden and terrifying aura that he retreated repeatedly, his face drained of all color.

"This aura... it's almost on par with Kaido!"

Sasagi found it hard to believe.

The height that he could never reach in his entire life was achieved by a baby who was just over one year old!

Just as the entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence because of Lynn's desperate act, and all the marines were terrified,

tread!tread!tread!

A series of extremely hurried footsteps came from the outer perimeter of the island.

A naval messenger on lookout duty scrambled and stumbled, his face contorted with the terror of losing his parents, and rushed toward Onigumo and Momonga.

"Lieutenant General... Lieutenant General! No... something terrible has happened!"

The messenger's voice was shrill and distorted with extreme fear.

"Why panic?!"

Suppressing his fear, Onigumo roared in a fierce but cowardly manner.

But he himself didn't realize that his voice was trembling.

"It's...it's the Beasts Pirates! The Beasts Pirates' reinforcements!"

The messenger practically cried out.

"Jhin! It's 'Jhin the Wildfire'! He's leading the fleet himself! A massive army of warships! They're almost at the port!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Onigumo and Momonga were struck dumb, their bodies trembling violently!
