Lynn: Brace Yourself. I'll Go Easy on You with This Kick!

"..."

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

The sea breeze stopped blowing as well.

The expressions on everyone's faces froze.

Whether it was the Red Hair Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, or Kaido himself, they all stared wide-eyed, their mouths open wide enough to fit a Sea King!

"Wh... what just happened?"

A Red Hair Pirates crewman asked in a trembling voice.

"Beckman's bu... bullet... was blown up just like that?!"

Usopp's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, the wild joy on his face instantly replaced by boundless shock!

"The sea... split apart!"

"It still hasn't closed up!"

"What kind of technique is that?!"

The crews of both Emperor pirate crews cried out in near-screams.

"This..."

Benn Beckman looked as though he had been struck by lightning. His usually composed face was now filled with disbelief!

He had seen it clearly!

That little brat had merely thrown a casual punch!

Just one utterly casual punch!

And it had blown apart the bullet he had fired with all his strength from a distance?!

What kind of heaven-defying technique was that?!

That little brat had not only kept up with the bullet's speed!

That destructive power... was fucking ridiculous too!

"Wo-ro-ro-ro-ro! Well done, Lynn!!!"

Kaido was the first to react, his earth-shaking laughter shattering the eerie silence!

He was not worried in the slightest now!

That little brat had hidden himself far too well!

The disappearance of that blood-red demon god earlier had not been because he was exhausted!

The little brat had done it on purpose!

He had been fishing!

No, more accurately, he no longer needed that defensive technique!

Dismissing it would instead conserve more stamina.

It was clear that after so many battles, the kid had accumulated considerable combat experience!

"Yah!"

Lynn seemed utterly indifferent to everyone's shock. He blinked his large, jet-black eyes and raised his tiny right fist again.

Then, he threw another punch!

"Two Legs!"

Boom—!!!

Another terrifying cylindrical shockwave blasted toward Benn Beckman through the air!

It was so fast that it completely exceeded the limits of what the naked eye could track!

"Not good!"

Benn Beckman's pupils suddenly contracted as an intense sense of danger surged through him!

Without a second thought, he pushed his Observation Haki to its limit, his body darting aside like a phantom!

Boom—!!!

The shockwave grazed past his body and slammed viciously into the distant sea!

In an instant!

Another hole was blasted open in the sea!

The displaced seawater made both the Red Force and the Moby Dick rock violently!

"He... he dodged it!"

The Red Hair Pirates crew collectively let out a sigh of relief.

However, before they could celebrate—

"Three Legs! Four Legs! Five Legs!"

Lynn's tiny body hovered in midair as his chubby little fists rained down punch after punch!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three dense, almost tangible cylindrical shockwaves bombarded Benn Beckman like a raging storm!

Every shockwave contained terrifying power capable of easily piercing through the sea!

And each one was faster than the last.

Each one was fiercer than the last!

I absolutely can't get hit by even one of them, or else...

Terrified, Benn Beckman pushed both his speed and Observation Haki to their absolute limits!

His figure became a series of afterimages across the deck, narrowly evading one deadly attack after another!

The sea churned like boiling water, sending monstrous waves soaring into the sky!

Five enormous holes had been blasted directly into the sea, refusing to close for a long time!

"My god..."

"Th... this is still human?!"

"Every punch... is comparable to an Admiral's full-force attack!"

"A little kid... an Admiral?"

"Too... too terrifying!"

Everyone from both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates felt their scalps go numb, their hearts trembling with fear!

They finally understood that the blood-red skeleton from before had not been Lynn's limit at all!

This blood-red Demon Child in split-crotch pants was the true monster!

Red-Haired Shanks and Whitebeard both wore extremely grave expressions as well.

They had to admit that even they would likely struggle to withstand such dense, terrifying attacks!

"Huff... huff..."

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Benn Beckman's forehead, and his breathing became somewhat ragged.

Although he had dodged every attack, his mind had been stretched to the limit, draining him enormously.

Just then.

Lynn stopped attacking.

His pure, jet-black eyes quietly watched Benn Beckman.

Then his soft little mouth opened slightly, and he said in a babyish voice:

"Yah!"

"You... get your... defenses ready."

Get his defenses ready?!

The moment Benn Beckman heard those words, his heart violently clenched!

An unprecedented, extreme sense of danger flooded over him like a tidal wave!

Without hesitation, he pushed his Armament Haki to its limit!

Jet-black Armament Haki covered his entire body like solid armor!

The next second!

Before everyone's horrified eyes!

Crimson steam erupted from Lynn's body once more!

The steam was even denser and more violent than when he had activated the Eight Gates before!

He crouched slightly in midair.

As though he were preparing to sprint.

At the same time, an ancient, destructive, despair-inducing aura wildly spread from his tiny body!

"Night... Guy!!!"

A childish yet unquestionable declaration came from Lynn's mouth!

Wrapped in crimson steam, his body began undergoing a shocking transformation!

Several patterns emerged across his skin.

They radiated scorching red light!

His eyes completely transformed into vortexes burning with bloody flames!

A suffocatingly terrifying pressure surpassing all his previous forms swept across the entire sea!

"Wh... what is this now?!"

"He... he can still become stronger?!"

"This aura... it's... it's even more outrageous than Pops was in his youth!"

Everyone was scared out of their wits by the aura Lynn unleashed at that moment!

Red-Haired Shanks and Whitebeard's expressions changed drastically!

From Lynn, they sensed a terrifying power capable of threatening their lives!

Lynn's tiny figure bent slightly in midair, like a cheetah poised to strike!

His target was Benn Beckman!

Just as Lynn was about to launch his final attack—

At that critical moment!

"Wait!!!"

Benn Beckman suddenly shouted. Then, with a helpless sigh, he lowered his gun and silently raised both hands.

"Kid... fine, I admit it. You won this fight."
