One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

If he were to suddenly appear, it would be difficult for him not to get involved.

He didn't care about the navy, but he still needed to be cautious about the World Government's mandatory orders.

Unless, of course, he intends to give up the convenient identity of the Seven Warlords of the Sea right now.

"Shanks, Kane, will you two face off? I'm really looking forward to it."

Mihawk muttered to himself, a rare, expectant smile playing on his lips, tinged with gossip.

As he thought about it, he subconsciously reached for the coffee table to grab a rice ball.

I touched it from the left and the right, but it was all air.

Mihawk looked up from the newspaper in confusion, then paused, startled.

The coffee table in front of me was completely empty; where were the rice balls that had been piled up like a small mountain?

Only three gorillas had bulging cheeks and conspicuous grains of rice stuck to the corners of their mouths.

Seeing Mihawk looking over, the three gorillas winked and chuckled, then turned and fled quickly, using both hands and feet.

"Green, Blue, Hiero! Stop right there!"

Wano Country, Oni Island.

Kane had just finished a long Den Den Mushi call.

"Don't worry, Hancock, I'll be fine. Really! I promise!" His tone was unusually patient and gentle. "Be good, stay on Amazon Lily."

Kane breathed a sigh of relief after finally managing to appease Hancock.

Beside her, Robin, dressed in a smart office lady outfit that revealed her long, slender legs in black stockings, elegantly closed a document and teased with a playful smile, "Lord Kane is really... philanthropic."

"The flowers are in full bloom; if I don't appreciate them, I'll seem unromantic."

Kane, without batting an eye, gave a dignified reply, even turning his gaze to the beauty before him: "Just before me, there is a flower that is both wise and beautiful, with an exceptionally captivating fragrance, in full bloom."

(Robin has a floral scent.)

As the saying goes, as long as I have no morals, no one can use morality to blackmail me.

Kane never hid his love for this kind of thing, and his open attitude made it difficult for people to attack him for it.

Of course, at sea, this is nothing unusual.

Upon hearing this, Robin gave Kane a coquettish glare.

She was actually a little touched.

The man in front of her clearly possessed terrifying strength enough to dominate everything, yet he always maintained unexpected respect and courtesy towards her, only occasionally being a little flirtatious.

That's why Robin would occasionally tease him back.

This became a tacit little game between the two of them.

After the joke, Robin's expression turned serious, and he got down to business.

"The commercial taxes for Wano Country last month have all been collected, and the total amount has increased by 5% compared to the previous month... The village of Togasa has requested the construction of a dam to regulate water resources, and King Riku has agreed in principle, but due to the war, it needs to be put on hold for the time being."

Robin fluently reported on the recent political data of Wano Country, clearly and without any stumbles.

Compared to deciphering those dry and obscure historical texts, dealing with these vivid data concerning a nation's livelihood is much easier and even more interesting for her.

Kane leaned back in his chair, remaining silent, only nodding occasionally to indicate that he was aware of the situation.

Robin adapts to her new role with astonishing speed.

In just a few days, she was already able to take over most of the work that Kane had given her with ease.

Now, apart from his own training which he cannot delegate to others, Kane is basically a completely hands-off manager.

The affairs of Wano Country are handled by King Yuku, while the weapons and seastone transactions are handled by Robin; he only needs to listen to Robin's briefings.

After reporting on internal affairs, Robin turned the conversation to preparations for the upcoming war.

"The Liekongzuo has completed all its supplies and the hull structure has been fully reinforced and repaired. It is ready to set sail at any time."

"very good."

Kane's lips curled into a smile; all that remained was to take action.

Just then, Yamato rushed in excitedly.

"Kane, we're leaving!"

Robin watched Kane's departing figure, subconsciously pursed his lips, and whispered, "Lord Kane, please be sure to come back alive."

Kane turned to her and gave her a dashing and confident smile: "Don't worry, I haven't picked the flowers yet! I won't die so easily."

Having said that, he turned around without hesitation and strode away.

Robin was left standing there, slightly stunned, a faint blush creeping onto her cheeks.

Ghost Island Port.

The crowd was in an uproar, their fighting spirit soaring.

The three mainstays, Yamato, the Flying Six, the Numbers, the mainstays, and numerous pirate minions gathered here.

All eyes were immediately focused on the figure on the high platform.

"The war has begun!"

Kaido's wild laughter rolled across the harbor like thunder: "Let the whole world witness our power! Prepare for a big battle, my men!"

"Oh!!!"

The pirates' deafening roar of excitement erupted instantly, echoing through the sky.

"Let's go!" Kaido shouted, raising his arm.

At a single command, the Beasts Pirates' massive war machine began to operate at full speed.

Following a pre-arranged plan, groups of pirates boarded their respective warships in an orderly yet frenzied manner, waiting for the massive elevators to transport them, along with their warships, into the harbor leading to the sea.

Chapter 105 The Four Emperors Meet and Say Goodbye

As the Beasts Pirates' massive fleet sailed out of Wano Country in a grand and undisguised manner, everyone closely watching the conflict clearly realized—

The war is really about to begin.

No, to be precise, the war has already begun.

The New World, Chagos Island.

Like countless other islands in the New World, this island was barren, desolate, and lacked resources, and was rarely visited by people.

But today, this place is the focus of the world's attention.

The Red-Haired Pirates, having mobilized their entire force, and the Beast Pirates, having deployed nearly half their troops, stood like two enormous iron curtains, facing each other across this sea.

From the air, the masts and sails of both sides were so dense that they resembled dark clouds, almost obscuring the entire sea area, and the oppressive atmosphere was suffocating.

However, even with the Red-Haired Pirates deployed in full force, their total numbers still paled in comparison to the massive Beast Fleet.

On the deck of the Liekong.

Violet activated her clairvoyance, her gaze sweeping across the sea and locking onto the distant red-haired fleet.

With an ultra-long field of vision of 4000 kilometers, she is undoubtedly the strongest lookout.

After counting the approximate number of people standing on the other side's deck, she was a little surprised: "Yes, the number of people on the other side... all the ships combined, it seems... only about eight hundred people?"

They dare to challenge the Beasts Pirates with such a small number of people?

“Eight hundred men? That’s enough.” Kane said calmly. “On this sea, the balance of war is never determined by the number of people.”

Even in the previous life, there was a legendary battle where eight hundred defeated one hundred thousand.

You agree, right, Jerry from Jiangdong?

Speaking of which, eight hundred is a truly remarkable number of troops.

Huo Qubing led 800 elite cavalrymen to traverse the vast desert and seal the Wolf-Dwelling Mountain; Li Shimin relied on 800 armored warriors to establish his dynasty at Xuanwu Gate; Yue Fei led 800 elite cavalrymen to defeat 500,000 enemy troops; Zhu Di led 800 personal guards to achieve the Fengtian Rebellion...

Far away.

Just as Violet widened her eyes, trying to gather more information about the other party, she suddenly screamed "Ah!" and her pretty face turned deathly pale.

"What's wrong?" Hiyori asked with concern.

"Just now... the redhead... he... he glanced at me!"

Violet swallowed hard, her hand unconsciously pressing against her rapidly heaving chest.

Even though she knew it was impossible for the other party to launch an attack from such a great distance, the sheer force of the attack still startled her, and her heart skipped a beat.

"That's only natural."

Kane was not surprised at all: "How could a top expert like Red-Haired Shanks not notice that someone is spying on him?"

Therefore, relying on Violet to monitor a powerful person around the clock is simply not feasible.

On the Redford, Shanks slowly withdrew his gaze from the distance, not paying much attention to the fleeting, probing look.

Today, so-called intelligence has lost its meaning.

All they could rely on were their trusted partners and the strength they held firmly in their hands.

At the bow, Ben Beckman, cigarette dangling from his lips and binoculars in hand, calmly observed the formation of the Beasts Fleet.

"Roughly estimated, the total strength of the Beasts Pirates this time is probably close to 10,000. As expected of an old-brand emperor pirate crew that has been entrenched in the New World for many years, their strength is truly astonishing."

"Kaido of the Beasts, Queen of the Plague, Kane of the Calamity, Yamato of the Demon Princess... Except for King of the Wildfire, all the well-known executives of the Beasts Pirates are here."

Even Yasopp, whose eyesight was the best, was holding a telescope.

Suddenly, he smiled and added, "Oh, and there's our old acquaintance, Foz F.

Those are their old nemesis.

They stole the Gum-Gum Fruit from Who's-Who, forcing him to defect from CP9 and join the Beasts Pirates.

"It seems we really need to be on our guard this time."

Rem Jones, with his long blond hair and a hat bearing the Red-Haired Pirates' insignia, grinned, his face showing no sign of tension but rather an excited and eager fighting spirit.
