No kidding, even Rocks would have to offer me a cigarette.

In other words, isn't Kaido now a weakened version of Rahu?

The moment they saw Kaido, they took turns approaching the young demon and trying to forcibly recruit him into their squad for training.

Unfortunately, Kaido rejected each and every one of them without hesitation.

Even when Captain Rocks personally invited Kaido to become an apprentice in the Rocks Pirates, Kaido refused.

Everyone originally thought Kaido was an ambitious guy who wanted to form a squad like them in the future, but they didn't expect that this guy would look so familiar with Rahu.

They even forced him to join the enemy's squad as a combatant!

However, it's understandable that they were unaware of the situation, since Whitebeard was only responsible for bringing people back to Hatchinos.

Whitebeard certainly wouldn't bother explaining the details of the relationship between Rahu and Kaido to these guys who were always fighting.

A newly formed team has gained such a high-quality crew member with three types of Haki!

This unexpected wealth even brought tears of envy to the eyes of Golden Lion and his companions.

After bringing Kaido under his command, just as Law was about to head to the Rocks Pirates' shipyard to collect his own private pirate ship, several young figures suddenly darted in front of him again.

"Captain Rahu, please allow me to join the 7th Division! I want to learn swordsmanship from you!"

"Count me in! I want to join the 7th Division too!"

The figures that seemed to have rushed over with Kaido were none other than Dracule Mihawk and Crocodile, whom Rahu had seen from the beginning.

Although the two boys were not very old, you could tell from their determined eyes that they were definitely two exceptionally talented kids.

Luo Hou naturally did not refuse these two brats who would become incredibly arrogant in the future, but instead directly incorporated them both into his team.

After all, these two are destined to become the world's greatest swordsman and the MVP of the Marineford War!

If Rahu wanted to achieve a more stable and continuous output to kill the Celestial Dragons, he naturally needed his subordinates to distract the small-time Marines and the CP organization.

Although these two kids are indeed a bit too young right now.

However, the ages in the One Piece world cannot be judged by the standards of ordinary people!

Wasn't Barrett, at only eight years old, also invincible on the battlefield, killing people as easily as slaughtering dogs?

...

Eight-year-old Barrett

Chapter 44 Heading to the Sky Island.

"How infuriating! Why do all these young brats choose to join Rahu's 7th Division? Are we veteran captains not prestigious enough?"

Watching helplessly as the two young men, whom even Captain Rocks praised highly, were recruited into the Seventh Division, Golden Lion, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and the others were so envious they almost became withdrawn.

Their team does indeed have many well-known pirates, and quite a few even have bounties exceeding 100 million.

But when it comes to talent, there aren't many who can compete.

Previously, they were quite insightful and acted in unison to invite Kaido and Mihawk, the two brats, to train them properly.

However, Kaido simply refused to join their crew as an apprentice.

Mihawk and Crocodile declined the captains' invitations, saying they were still considering it.

After officially completing the formation of his seventh division, Rahu led his crew to attend a banquet specially organized for their seventh division by the Rocks Pirates.

This banquet featured almost every kind of cuisine available in the world.

Even the specialties of the underwater Fishman Island can be served directly on the table and enjoyed.

Those crew members who successfully joined the Seventh Division opened their mouths wide and wolfed down the food they had never eaten before, praising it loudly as a gift from their captain.

This is a special banquet that has been held by the Rocks Pirates for many years.

Every time a new division commander successfully forms a pirate crew, he will use the massive amount of funds accumulated by the Rocks Pirates over the years to hold a grand banquet and invite everyone.

And during this banquet, while Rahu was tasting the rare noble tribute wine...

Charlotte Linlin, with her beautiful figure and toned abs, took the opportunity to press herself against Rahu, trying to use her alluring body to make him lose his mind and follow her back to his room to do some exciting things.

However, even though Luo Hou was indeed aroused by the other party's figure and couldn't restrain himself, he still refused Charlotte Linlin's invitation to bed with his strong willpower.

For no other reason than that Luo Hou simply did not want to ride in this bio-mother body that could be ridden by thousands.

He has both strength and good looks, and he's also the captain of the 7th Division of the Rocks Pirates!

Under such conditions, how could there be a shortage of women?

His status was relevant to the countries protected by the Rocks Pirates.

Countless delicate little princesses wash themselves clean and fair, eager to offer themselves up in exchange for resources.

Why would I have time to bother with a mere Charlotte?

After forcibly driving Charlotte Linlin away.

Luo Hou turned to look at Kaido next to him, who was simultaneously chugging over a dozen bottles of rum, and gave the brat a meaningful warning not to be tempted by Charlotte Linlin's body.

Although based on the information revealed in the manga, Kaido definitely did not have an affair with Charlotte Linlin.

But Luo Hou had tried many methods, yet he was still unable to erase that awful anime from his mind.

He never expected that Kaido would actually use Luffy as a trap to fight Charlotte Linlin in the heat of battle!

To prevent such a vulgar thing from happening to his own team, Rahu could only righteously warn Kaido and his gang not to sleep with Charlotte Linlin.

After all, it's not easy to find a two-legged man in this world, but there are plenty of beautiful women with two legs.

If you have a foot fetish, you can even find people from races with many legs to provide services!

After giving a warning to all the crew members.

The banquet then plunged back into a frenzied atmosphere, which lasted for three days and three nights before finally ending.

The next morning!

Rahu stood in front of a medium-sized pirate ship and gathered his crew of about 100 people to prepare to set off for Skypiea.

In this era, countless pirates naturally yearn for, and even readily believe in, the existence of Skypiea.

In other words, everyone in the Rocks era was a pirate with dreams.

Upon hearing Captain Luo Hou's order to head to the Sky Island, the crew members naturally cheered and began to get busy.

Among this group of people, each person has a very clear division of labor, and many of them are very experienced veteran sailors.

However, now that Rahu possessed the Paramecia-type Float-Float Fruit power as his driving force, he naturally couldn't rely on ocean currents and winds to navigate like ordinary pirates.

After ordering all the crew members to prepare, Rahu lightly placed his palm on the brand-new pirate ship.

The moment his palm touched the deck, the strange Devil Fruit energy began to rapidly spread throughout the entire ship.

Subsequently, a peculiar anti-gravity force began to appear.

Under Rahu's control of his thoughts and gestures, the pirate ship began to shoot rapidly into the sky.

In less than two or three minutes, it had already flown to an altitude of three or four thousand meters.

"Make sure you know the location on the nautical chart and head towards Gaya Island!"

After gaining increasingly proficient control over the flying pirate ship thanks to his Devil Fruit powers, Rahu directly ordered the female pirate who was in charge of acting as the navigator.

Guided by the other party's experienced directions, the group sped forward at a speed akin to that of a spaceship.

In fact, there are many Sky Islands in the entire One Piece world.

Almost every so often, a small, unknown floating island appears in the sky above a special region.

The reason Rahu insisted on going to the Jaya Island area was simply because the Rumble-Rumble Fruit might appear there.

According to the plot summary in the comic.

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit has been absent from Qinghai for almost hundreds of years, so the only possible place for it to appear now is the White Sea or the White-White Sea region.

Enel, who was fortunate enough to eat the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, was originally just a little kid who was taken from the Blue Sea to Sky Island.

After suffering humiliation and abuse in the Sky Island region, he was fortunate enough to steal the Rumble-Rumble Fruit from the altar offerings on a small Sky Island called Pika.

After gaining this godlike power, the darkness within my heart was fully unleashed.

Having suffered endless torment and abuse, he directly targeted all the Sky Island people for revenge.

After destroying all the Sky Island inhabitants of his homeland, Enel, whose hatred had largely subsided, went to Apayado and used his Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability to act as a charlatan pretending to be a god.

But none of that matters anymore; this Rumble-Rumble Fruit will inevitably end up in Rahu's hands.

As for whether he will put the Devil Fruit back in its original place after absorbing the properties of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, that depends on his mood.

Rather than leaving the Devil Fruit to someone else, it's better to pack it up and take it with you, so that your talented crew members can use it directly.

Although doing so would definitely make Enel suffer and endure a few more years of injustice, Rahu is not a saint and can't care about so much.

If all else fails, he can send someone over to Qinghai to bring Enel down and train him in Haki.

But these are all things of the future, who can say for sure?

Perhaps in the next God Valley battle, Rahu will also be swallowed up by the ocean and disappear completely along with Rocks, the chosen one of our time.

After all, the dangers involved in the God Valley battle were indeed unknown.

Luo Hou didn't even know if the Five Elders, who represented world power, had participated in the war.

And whether the so-called leader of the Knights of God was the one who caused the fatal injury to Rocks.

......

Chapter 45 Arrival at the Sky Island

After flying at high speed continuously in the air for about half a month.

Rahu slowly raised his palm and made a pushing motion, controlling the speed of the pirate ship with the power of the Float-Float Fruit.

Based on the map's directions and his memories of Jaya Island, Rahu was certain that his crew had indeed arrived at Jaya Island, a place always teeming with pirates.

Although we are not currently in the era of rampant piracy, the number of pirates is not exactly small.
