That was pure fear and despair, born from the depths of the soul!

Too strong!

This brat was absurdly strong! So strong it defied all reason!

This simply was not power a human should possess!

Lynn's blue-glowing eyes coldly watched Blackbeard, who looked like a beaten dog.

His small body slowly raised its right foot.

Blue vapor surged madly toward his right leg like a living creature!

Compression!

Extreme compression!

That calf, less than half a meter long, now seemed to contain terrifying power capable of destroying everything!

That tiny foot shot straight at Blackbeard with world-ending force!

There was no flashy move name.

Only a pure, ultimate outpouring of strength!

This kick seemed capable of crushing even space itself!

BOOM—!!!!!!!!

A terrifying explosion thundered into the heavens, as though it would overturn the entire world!

Blackbeard Teach's massive body did not even have time to let out a scream!

That tiny foot stomped solidly onto his chest!

"Puh—!!!"

A rain of blood sprayed wildly from Blackbeard's mouth!

His huge body, as though struck head-on by a siege cannon, smashed toward the sea below several times faster than a fired shell!

Along with the already battered pirate ship beneath his feet, and Burgess, who had been scared witless and was barely clinging to life aboard it!

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE—!!!!!!

Centered on the spot where Blackbeard Teach fell, the entire sea suddenly caved inward, forming a terrifying bottomless pit!

Then!

An even more violent eruption followed!

Towering waves roared skyward like an ancient sea god awakening!

The sea within several hundred meters shook violently under that world-destroying strike!

The clouds overhead were instantly torn apart by the terrifying shockwave!

And then came the most horrifying sight!

The originally raging sea!

Had actually been forcibly...

Split apart by Lynn's kick!!!!

It remained unable to close for a long time!

"This was only the Seventh Gate..."

In midair.

Lynn's tiny body floated there as the blue vapor around him slowly faded.

His little face was somewhat pale, his chest heaving violently as he gulped down breath after breath.

Although his stamina had increased drastically.

The cost of that Seventh Gate kick was still considerable for him.

But compared to before, his current condition was much better. He would not collapse into unconscious weakness, and he was confident he could throw another kick without a problem!

Below.

Where Blackbeard's pirate ship had once been, only a terrifying bottomless whirlpool remained, still madly swallowing seawater.

The rift Lynn had forcibly split through the sea was slowly closing, but that world-destroying sight had been deeply etched into these waters.

A cold system prompt rang out in Lynn's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for defeating a Shichibukai-level combatant head-on—"Blackbeard" Marshall D. Teach!] [Mission evaluation: Overwhelming victory!] [Detected that Host has completed the mission: Defeat a combatant with Shichibukai-level strength or above!] [Mission reward being issued...] [Congratulations, Host, for obtaining an ability from across the worlds—Susanoo: Initial Form!] [Susanoo: Initial Form: The ultimate power awakened by the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyō Sharingan from the world of Naruto. It can summon a chakra entity and possesses ultimate defense. This ability has been optimized for the Host and consumes stamina and Conqueror's Haki.]

Susanoo?!

Lynn's tired eyes instantly widened!

The listlessness in his mind from exhaustion was instantly washed away by a surge of wild joy!

Holy shit!

That was the Uchiha Clan's ultimate cheat skill!

A fully armored Gundam that combined offense and defense!

After the Eight Gates and Amaterasu, the system had actually rewarded him with another absurdly powerful divine skill!

This was... freaking amazing!

However.

This Initial Form...

Meant the reward was not the complete form.

There was still room for further upgrades.

And the system had specifically mentioned its [ultimate defense], which meant this Susanoo probably only consisted of a few ribs.

Even so, Lynn was still immensely delighted.

With this divine skill.

At the very least, his weakest point—his defense—was now fully protected.

At that moment.

The system prompts rang out again in rapid succession.

[New missions released!] [Mission One: Immovable as a Mountain!] [Mission description: Do not retaliate. Endure the full-force attack of a combatant with Shichibukai-level strength or above head-on for one minute.] [Mission reward: Massive Conqueror's Haki Cap!] [Mission Two: Big Eater Challenge!] [Mission description: Break the laws of the world! Successfully eat two different Devil Fruits and survive.] [Mission reward: Massive Stamina Cap!] [Mission Three: Double Kill!] [Mission description: Before the age of four (currently one year and three months), defeat two combatants with Shichibukai-level strength or above head-on in succession.] [Mission reward: One random ability from across the worlds!]

The string of new missions made Lynn's little head buzz.

He carefully read every mission description, his small brows tightly furrowing.

The first mission was to withstand the attacks of a Shichibukai-level powerhouse for one minute.

Not difficult.

With Susanoo, his chances were very good.

But the premise was that he had to find someone not quite so powerful... If he ran into someone on Mihawk's level, even with Susanoo, he would struggle to hold out for one minute.

The third mission was to take down two people at Shichibukai level or above.

That was not difficult either.

Before he turned four.

That meant he still had nearly three years to grow stronger... Besides, judging by the current timeline, Marineford would be arriving soon. Maybe he could take the opportunity to pick off two Shichibukai.

But what Lynn found most outrageous and terrifying was the second mission!

Eat two Devil Fruits...

That joke was a little too much!

Who in this world did not know that if one person ate two Devil Fruits, their body would be unable to withstand the curses of two devils and would explode on the spot, dying beyond all hope of rescue!

That was an ironclad rule of this world!

Yet the system wanted him to break that rule?!

Wasn't that practically sending him to his death?!

But... the reward was a Massive Stamina Cap!

Stamina!

That was exactly what he needed most right now!

Whether it was flight, the Eight Gates, or the Susanoo he had just acquired, all of them were massive consumers of stamina!

The Eight Gates and Susanoo in particular were practically two bottomless pits!

Without sufficient stamina to support them, those divine skills were little more than decorations!

The risk was enormous, but so were the rewards!

The system should not issue a mission that guaranteed death...

Which meant this mission could be completed!

Lynn gave the gradually calming sea one last glance.

Then, while calculating his options, he slowly flew away.

Not long after he left.

On the shore of a deserted island not far away.

Burgess, still bleeding all over, struggled to drag the unconscious Blackbeard and Rockstar onto the beach.

He watched the tiny figure gradually shrink into a black dot on the horizon, his eyes still filled with indescribable terror!
