One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

"buddies!"

"Prepare for battle!"

Shanks' right hand firmly gripped the hilt of his sword at his waist, his black cloak fluttering in the sea breeze.

"Oh!!!"

Upon receiving the order, the Red-Haired Pirates' fleet erupted in earth-shattering cheers and roars, their fighting spirit soaring to the heavens!

at the same time.

At the bow of the Beasts flagship, Kaido crossed his arms, revealing a ferocious and unrestrained smile. "My minions! Let's wreak havoc for me!"

Under the command of their respective captains, the two massive fleets, like sleeping behemoths, suddenly awoke and began to move almost simultaneously, slowly forming battle formations.

A great war is about to break out!

"Well then, let me say hello first!"

Kane chuckled. If they missed this opportunity, once the chaos of battle broke out, large-scale deterrent attacks would be difficult to execute.

He leaped into the air, his body bursting forth with a dazzling green light.

Wow!

The green light burst forth like a miniature sun, transforming into countless shimmering points of light. A dreamlike rain of green light then fell upon the sea.

The god who rules the sky was born in a rain of light!

Rayquaza, come on!

Kane's dragon body trembled, transforming into a streak of emerald lightning that plunged into the clouds high in the sky.

At the same time, the originally clear blue sky turned into a gloomy, overcast sky at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The thick lightning bolts darted and exploded wildly in the dense clouds, emitting a deafening roar!

The emerald green dragon appeared and disappeared amidst the lightning and thunder in the dark clouds.

"Damn brat, how dare you steal my thunder!" Kaido, standing at the bow of the main ship, snorted coldly upon seeing this.

In every previous large-scale battle, wasn't he the first to transform into a dragon and ascend into the sky, giving his opponent a rude awakening with a cataclysmic display?

This time, Kane actually beat him to it.

On the Redfords, the entire Red-Haired Pirates looked up at the sky, where the clouds were changing color.

"Is that Kane's beast form? It looks similar to Kaido's."

Yasopp, holding up his binoculars, chuckled: "Judging by appearance alone, compared to Oni-hime, he looks more like Kaido's biological child."

"Not only do they look alike, but their abilities are probably similar as well."

Beckman exhaled a smoke ring, his gaze fixed intently on the thick, dark clouds rapidly gathering and crackling with lightning in the sky.

"not good!"

A red glint flashed in Shanks' eyes. Foreseeing the brief future, he didn't hesitate at all. He instantly drew his famous sword, Griffin, from his waist and his figure shot into the sky like a red lightning bolt!

At the same time, Kane, who was frantically gathering lightning power in the dark clouds, immediately noticed the unusual movement of the Redford below.

He kept his attention on Shanks's actions.

"So... it's impossible to charge up to the maximum power?" Kane thought to himself with a sense of regret.

An opponent with top-tier Observation Haki, capable of foreseeing the future, is far too troublesome; they simply won't give him a chance to perfectly cast his spell.

It is not too late.

"Thousands of thunders!"

Kane, in the form of a green dragon, emerged from the clouds and let out a deep, resonant roar.

With his will, the terrifying lightning energy that had been accumulating for so long suddenly erupted!

Countless bolts of lightning, as thick as buckets, tore through the sky, like divine spears of judgment, carrying a destructive and ferocious force as they rained down upon the Red-Haired Pirates' fleet below.

Saturation attack, kid!

"Lord Kane has made his move!"

On the Beasts Fleet's side, the pirates cheered wildly upon seeing this, their morale soaring.

This is our big signboard. Look at this incredibly powerful move! Do you guys have a big signboard like this?

In stark contrast to the frenzy of the beasts, the pirates on Red-Haired's side stared dumbfounded at the terrifying, apocalyptic scene, their faces filled with horror.

"Get out of the way!!" the officers on each ship shouted hoarsely, urging their comrades to save themselves.

Is this really the power of a Zoan-type Mythical Beast?

Are you sure it's not the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?

However, even in the face of such a terrifying attack, the members of the Red-Haired Pirates did not fall into complete panic.

Because they have Shanks, the captain!

It was as if this was a response to the unconditional trust placed in them by their partners.

Before the thunderbolts had completely subsided, Shanks, who had soared into the sky, glared at the thick, dark clouds that blotted out the sun, and swung his sword to strike!

"Disperse!"

A highly condensed, dark red sword aura, tens of meters long, shot upwards like a blood-red ribbon cleaving the sky, disappearing into the center of the dark clouds.

boom--

The sword energy exploded with a deafening roar the instant it entered the dark clouds.

The thick layer of dark clouds was instantly blasted open, creating a huge hole, and the clouds retreated wildly along the edge of the hole.

A huge, pure cylindrical beam of sunlight, like a spotlight on a stage, shone onto the sea through the forcibly created opening, enveloping the Red Hair Fleet and creating a sacred and magnificent scene.

Shanks' attack was incredibly fast, but he ultimately couldn't stop all the lightning bolts that fell.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The first and last wave of lightning still enveloped the Red-Haired Fleet like a fishing net.

"Stop them!"

The officers and elites on each ship in the fleet roared in unison, each displaying their unique abilities!

Swordsmen unleash soaring slashes, gunmen fire bullets, and ability users display their unique skills...

But the number of lightning bolts far exceeded their expectations. Even though they intercepted most of them, a dozen or so still slipped through the net and struck down hard.

Boom! Rumble!

Deafening explosions rang out one after another on more than ten ships of the Red Hair Fleet.

Wood chips flew everywhere, and smoke filled the air.

The surrounding seas suffered even more, with bolts of lightning striking the sea and sending up towering water columns tens of meters high.

The fish in the sea were even more unlucky, all sleeping peacefully on the surface of the water...

Fortunately, the officers on board intercepted the attack in time, and only a few unlucky individuals lost their fighting ability in the lightning storm.

Two other ships were unfortunately hit in their ammunition depots, causing a series of explosions and sinking completely.

Shanks and Kane landed back on their respective bows, their robes fluttering in the sea breeze.

Shanks quickly scanned his fleet and saw that although the ships were damaged, the main structure was intact and the core combat force was completely unharmed. Only then did he slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

However, simply taking a beating without fighting back is not Shanks' style!

The Griffin in his hand was slowly raised horizontally, and dark red, almost tangible Conqueror's Haki instantly wrapped around it, adding a terrifying pressure to the already beautiful blade.

"Reciprocity is key..."

Shanks' voice was calm yet carried an undeniable power: "Let me say hello too."

"Gods, beware!"

As he swung his sword, a black and red griffin phantom emerged from the blade.

It let out a silent roar, flapped its wings, and charged straight at the fleet of beasts with a force that could tear everything apart.

Before the sword energy had even truly arrived, the immense wind pressure that swept in ahead of time crashed against the bow of the Fierce Sky Ship like an invisible tsunami.

Violet, Zoro, Ace, and others who were slightly weaker were pushed by this air pressure and swayed, almost unable to stand!

"What a powerful slash! It's almost on par with Hawkeye's!"

Zoro clung tightly to the flagpole, his face showing no fear, but rather a surge of fighting spirit, as if he were about to utter the words, "He can be replaced."

I finally witnessed this move in person...

The ultimate move to instantly kill Kidd.

Kane stood motionless, a hint of excitement playing on his lips.

However, he had no intention of experiencing this move firsthand.

Kane turned his head very naturally and shouted towards the main ship, "Mr. Kaido, it's up to you!"

Captains fight captains, officers fight officers—that's the rule of battle in the world of One Piece, isn't it?

"You brat, don't even think about bossing me around!"

Kaido roared in response, his tone volatile, but his right hand obediently pulled out his spiked club, Eighth Regiment, from his cloak.

He suddenly exerted force on his wrist, his muscles bulged, and a black and red Conqueror's Haki instantly wrapped around the spiked club.

"Diamond-shaped Arrow!"

Kaido roared and unleashed a strike powerful enough to shatter mountains and split seas.

A massive, condensed column of energy shot out with a thunderous roar, precisely meeting the incoming griffin sword energy.

The next second, the slash and the staff energy collided violently in the middle of the sea, without any fancy moves.

Unexpectedly, the two attacks did not explode immediately upon contact; instead, they intertwined and corroded each other.

Black and red arcs of electricity leaped and exploded wildly at the point of impact.

Immediately afterwards—
