Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
Onigashima, inside Kaido's private palace, in a room remodeled like a children's playground.
A pink-cheeked baby was crawling across the floor, his short little legs pumping rapidly. He was nearly as fast as an adult jogging.
(Please remember, for Taiwanese novels, go to Taiwan Novel Network. The site was incredibly smooth and had the fastest chapter updates.)
He was Lynn.
In just three months, Lynn's body had grown at an unimaginable rate.
He could already run and jump, and could even use a charcoal pencil to shakily write a few simple words on a wooden board.
The only problem was that his vocal cords had not fully developed yet. He could only make babbling sounds and could not speak normally.
Even so, the Beasts Pirates members had long been dumbfounded by the growth rate of this "Young Master Lynn."
He could run and write after only three months?
Was this fucking human infant?
He was clearly a monster infant!
Black Maria, who was responsible for Lynn's daily care, watched him crawl all over the floor with absurdly boundless energy and rubbed her temples in frustration.
This little ancestor was way too troublesome!
Just then.
[Ding! The mission "Survival Against All Odds" had been completed!] [Mission Rating: Perfect (Safely survived 100 days under the protection of Kaido of the Beasts)] [Mission Reward Issued: Dragon Ball World—Flight Technique!]
The system's voice rang out in Lynn's mind.
A mysterious breathing method and body-control technique instantly flooded into Lynn's consciousness.
Flight Technique?!
Lynn's eyes widened abruptly.
Holy shit!
This was a divine skill!
He could fly freely through the sky!
This was too damn awesome!
Lynn was overjoyed.
With this, even if he could not win in the future, he could still escape. His survival ability would increase dramatically!
However, before he could celebrate for long.
[Ding! New missions issued!] [Mission One: Grow Strong. Objective: Survive until one year old.] [Mission Two: Make a Name for Yourself. Objective: Personally defeat 100 Marines (rank unrestricted).]
The smile on Lynn's face instantly froze.
Survive until one year old? That one was manageable.
But personally defeat 100 Marines?!
System, were you kidding me?!
I was only three months old!
I was less than half a meter tall!
I weighed less than ten jin!
You wanted me to take down a hundred Marines?
Even feeding yourself to the enemy was not done like this!
Lynn felt a pain in the balls—oh, no, he did not have that function yet... His whole body hurt!
The difficulty gap between these system missions was way too huge!
Forget it. He would first try out the newly acquired Flight Technique.
With a thought, Lynn followed the method in his mind and attempted to mobilize the "qi" within his body.
The next second.
Whoosh—
His tiny body wobbled as it slowly floated up, as though it had no weight at all!
Half a meter off the ground!
One meter!
Two meters!
"Yiya!" Lynn excitedly waved his little arms and legs.
He had succeeded!
He had really started flying!
The sensation of escaping gravity's restraints was simply too marvelous!
"Hm?!" Black Maria, who had been dozing nearby, suddenly opened all six eyes and stared incredulously at Lynn floating in midair.
"Young... Young Master Lynn?! H-How are you flying?!"
Black Maria's face drained of color as she sprang to her feet.
Her sharp scream instantly drew the attention of the others nearby.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Several figures rushed in at once.
They were the other members of the Tobi Roppo: Ulti, Page One, Sasaki, Who's-Who, and the rest.
"Maria, what happened?" Ulti asked noisily.
"Look! Young Master Lynn!" Black Maria pointed at Lynn floating in midair, her voice trembling.
"What?!"
"H-He's flying?!"
"Holy shit! What's going on?!"
The Tobi Roppo all looked up at the tiny figure swaying in the air, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads.
"Young Master Lynn! It's dangerous! Come down!" Page One shouted anxiously.
"Yiyaya!" Rather than listening, Lynn found it even more entertaining and controlled his body to fly rapidly around the room.
He got faster and faster!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Like a tiny ghost, he darted nimbly through the spacious room!
"Catch him!" Who's-Who's expression changed as he made the first move, reaching out to grab Lynn with his large hand.
However, Lynn flickered aside and easily evaded him.
"Over here!" Ulti pounced as well, only to miss too.
"Damn it! He's too fast!" Sasaki drew his sword, but he did not dare swing it and could only stare helplessly.
Several Tobi Roppo who were considered powerful even in the New World were now surrounding a three-month-old baby in frantic confusion, yet they could not even touch the edge of his clothes!
Lynn was having the time of his life, performing all kinds of difficult aerial maneuvers to evade their attempts to catch him.
This Flight Technique was practically a divine skill for shaking people off!
"Move aside!"
A delicate shout rang out.
Yamato, wearing a hannya mask and boasting a perfectly curved figure, rushed in.
She was also stunned when she saw Lynn flying through the air. Then she excitedly said, "Oh? My little brother can fly? Come on, let your big sister catch you!"
With that, Yamato joined the chase.
But the result... was still the same.
Lynn was too fast and too agile!
Just as the scene descended into complete chaos.
"Enough! What are you all making such a racket for?!"
A deep, imposing voice rang out.
King, Queen, and Jack, the three All-Stars, walked in.
When they saw the scene in the room, their pupils shrank as well.
"Young Master Lynn... is flying?" Jack rubbed his eyes, suspecting he had seen wrong.
Queen's fat jiggled. "Muhuahaha... Is this some kind of new ability?"
King frowned deeply and, without another word, violently flapped his black wings!
Whoosh!
He instantly appeared behind Lynn. His hand shot out like lightning, accurately grabbing the back of Lynn's collar and lifting him down.
Lynn, suspended in the air, was halted by the sudden force. His little cheeks puffed up as he became somewhat unhappy.
He had just been getting into it!
"Let go of my little brother!" Seeing this, Yamato immediately charged at King.
"Miss Yamato, please calm down." King sidestepped her attack, his tone indifferent.
Just then.
Rumble, rumble!
A terrifying aura descended!
Kaido's towering figure appeared in the doorway. His face was terrifyingly dark as his savage gaze swept across everyone present.
"Who?! Who gave Lynn a Devil Fruit?!"
His thunderous roar made the entire room buzz!
The Tobi Roppo and Yamato shuddered all over, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Kaido placed immense value on Lynn's potential. He had long since ordered that no one was to give Lynn any Devil Fruit without his permission!
He wanted to find the most suitable and strongest fruit for Lynn!
Now that he saw Lynn flying, Kaido's first reaction was that someone had defied his order!
"Not me!" Queen hurriedly waved his hands, sweat already pouring down his fat face.
"Governor, it wasn't us," Jack quickly denied.
The Tobi Roppo shook their heads like rattles.
Black Maria hurriedly explained, "Boss Kaido! We don't know what happened either! Young Master Lynn suddenly started flying by himself!"
Kaido turned his gaze toward King.
King shook his head slightly. "He was already flying when I arrived."
"Hm?" Kaido's brow furrowed even deeper as he looked at Lynn, who was dangling from King's hand and kicking his little legs in displeasure.
He softened his tone, trying to appear less frightening.
"Lynn, tell me. Did you eat some strange fruit?"
Lynn blinked, understanding what Kaido meant.
He vigorously shook his little head.
He had not eaten one!
Kaido froze.
He had not eaten one?
He asked again as if to confirm it. "You really didn't eat one?"
Lynn nodded firmly.
This time, not only Kaido but everyone present was stunned!
King, Queen, Jack, Yamato, the Tobi Roppo...
Every face was filled with disbelief!
He could fly... without eating a Devil Fruit?!
What the fuck was going on?!
