One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

The Observation Haki triggered the alarm again.

This warning came so suddenly and violently that he had no time to think at all!

Kane instinctively shifted to the side.

puff!

Almost at the same moment he turned to the side, a burst of blood suddenly erupted from his left shoulder near his collarbone!

That familiar feeling of weakness again!

It's the familiar sea stone bullet again!

"Damn it, is sea stone so abundant now? What is this? Would capitalists sell the rope that would hang themselves?"

Kane couldn't help but curse under his breath.

We must raise prices!

In the distance, the Red-Haired Pirates' position.

"pity."

Beckman put down his smoking spear and said calmly, "I originally wanted to just take down Kane the Cataclysm directly."

He boasted that he had planned it perfectly.

First, let him fire the first shot. Even if he misses, it will give Kane the illusion that the threat has passed. Then, the second shot, fired by Yasopp at a more tricky and deadly angle, will be the real kill.

Unfortunately, Kane managed to evade it at the last moment.

There won't be another chance like this.

Although it was demoralizing, Beckman suddenly had a feeling that they couldn't win.

So far, none of the tactics he devised have yielded perfect results.

"Shanks, I'm afraid we'll have to rely on you."

Beckman gazed at the fierce battle raging in the distance and sighed inwardly.

Even if all of their officers lose to the enemy, as long as Shanks defeats Kaido, they will have a chance to win this war.

That's the influence of the Pirate Emperor!

"That's one of only three major guardians of the beasts, it's not that easy to get one."

Yasopp, standing nearby, seemed quite unfazed. He had already turned his sniper rifle around and, as if by the Grim Reaper, began to precisely snipe the Beast Pirates landing on the shore, one shot at a time.

"Next, it'll be hand-to-hand combat."

At Beckman's command, the red-haired officers, who had been holding back for so long, rushed out of their positions to find their opponents.

On the other side, the Sky Piercing Seat.

Kane rubbed the wound on his left shoulder. Thanks to his powerful self-healing ability, the bleeding had stopped and was healing at a visible speed.

"Damn it, prepare to face my wrath!"

Kane's eyes blazed with fighting spirit.

Chapter 108: Tempering, Foresight, and Battlefields

Bang bang bang!

Beckman held his specially made long gun steadily, aimed at Kane who was attacking him, and calmly and rhythmically pulled the trigger.

With his extraordinary Observation Haki, one Seastone bullet after another precisely blocked all of Kane's possible routes of advance.

Kane had to dodge and parry repeatedly, which noticeably slowed him down.

"Damn it... top-notch gunmen are really tough to deal with!"

Kane, whose Observation Haki was far inferior to Beckman's, could only desperately try to circumvent the incoming bullets by manipulating his own Observation Haki: "If only I could comprehend and foresee the future."

The thought flashed through his mind like lightning.

That's it! Just figure it out and foresee the future yourself!

Is there a better opportunity than this?

Kane's eyes suddenly lit up.

With that in mind, he simply stopped his futile assault, forcing himself to calm down and immersing himself in his Observation Haki, trying to find that glimpse of the future.

In the distance, Beckman watched Kane suddenly stop moving, a complex and unreadable smile playing on his lips, a smile that was hard to decipher whether it was anger or disdain:

"You've used me as a whetstone to hone your Observation Haki? You've got some nerve, Kane the Scourge..."

Come on.

Beckman's gaze became incredibly focused.

Let's see if my whetstone is hard enough to break your knife first, or vice versa...

By this time, the coastline of Chagos Island had been completely turned into a bloody meat grinder, a scene of utter chaos.

"Poison Arrow Rain!"

Reiju, now clad in Germa's technological combat suit with dazzling butterfly wings extending from her back, floats in the air. With her red lips slightly parted, the deadly poison mist she exhaled instantly condenses into countless pinkish-purple poison arrows, which rain down on Hongo below like a storm!

Ding ding ding...

Hongo remained unfazed, wielding his long, black staff with impenetrable precision. The staff's shadow, like a solid barrier, perfectly deflected the vast majority of the poisoned arrows, producing a continuous, crisp clanging sound.

A few poisoned arrows that escaped struck the surrounding ground, instantly corroding small pits like strong acid and releasing eerie pinkish-purple wisps of smoke.

"Oh? Getting hit by this thing... I'm afraid the consequences will be dire."

Hongo frowned slightly.

He immediately seized the opportunity during Reiju's attack, leaped up, and with a backhand strike, stabbed Reiju in the abdomen with great force!

boom!

With a muffled thud, Reiju, seemingly caught completely off guard, took the blow squarely and crashed to the ground like a kite with a broken string, kicking up a cloud of dust.

However, despite the attack having clearly been effective, Hongo showed no joy on his face; instead, he appeared surprised and uncertain.

This feel... is unbelievably hard!

Did I really just stab a human being in flesh and blood?

as predicted.

The next second, Reiju, who was clutching her abdomen and looking slightly pained, stood up again.

She opened her mouth and exhaled a denser cloud of pinkish-purple poisonous mist that enveloped herself. Then, she flapped her wings and charged forward again, engaging in a fierce battle with Hongo.

If ranged attacks are useless, then try my close-quarters combat!

At the same moment, on the other side of the battlefield.

"Hahaha! Try my latest masterpiece!"

Quinn had already transformed into a massive Brachiosaurus orc form, carrying a specially made barrel on his back that was constantly emitting eerie bubbles, and holding a modified multi-barreled rotating Gatling gun with a thick barrel in his hand.

The gun barrel was filled with his proud new type of plague bullet!

Da da da da...

Countless bullets loaded with a special virus, like a swarm of dead bees, swept wildly towards the enemy on the other side.

"Who do you think I am! A mere bullet—"

Guatin roared, crossing his arms in front of him, and Armament Haki quickly covered them, forming a solid defense.

The bullets clattered against his imposing defenses, seemingly being perfectly blocked.

But to his surprise, after being blocked by the powerful defense, these bullets did not bounce off or fall like ordinary bullets, but instead suddenly exploded on their own!

Puffs of ominous green smoke suddenly rose out of thin air and enveloped him!

"What is that?!" Guatini was startled.

"Hahaha! You bunch of idiots are dead!"

Quinn grinned smugly, a triumphant smile spreading across his face: "This is a mummy virus bomb that I specially developed for this war!"

"It will first make you feel an extreme burning pain, like being in lava, then your blood will gush uncontrollably from your pores! Finally, you will turn into a dried-up corpse in extreme pain! Muhahahaha!"

Quinn began to explain his masterpiece, just like any classic villain.

"A virus? This is bad..."

Suddenly, Guatin felt his whole body burning intensely as if it were on fire, and alarming green patches began to appear on his skin at a visible speed.

Furthermore, these patches are rapidly spreading and merging together!

"Ughhhh..."

The unbearable pain caused Guatini to let out a shrill wail. He hurriedly tried to cover his entire body with Armament Haki, hoping to resist the invasion of this strange virus.

But the results are minimal.

Once a virus invades the body, it cannot be eliminated simply by strong defenses.

Like Guatini, many other red-haired pirates who were also exposed to the green poisonous fog could not withstand the high temperature burning inside their bodies, collapsed to the ground, and let out painful groans and howls.

"Brian, Bane... how are you? Hang in there!"

Seeing this, their companions were extremely anxious and rushed forward to try to help and rescue their fallen companion.

Quinn stood there, watching this touching scene with a cruel and gloating smile on his lips.

"Just keep taking care of them like this... Don't stop, hehehehe..."

Quinn laughed inwardly.

His mummy virus thrives on enemies with a human touch.

"Ah!" The pirate who had just tried to help his companion suddenly screamed in terror.

As soon as his skin came into contact with his companion's, those deadly green patches began to appear rapidly, and a burning sensation of high temperature instantly struck his body!

That's right, besides its terrifyingly high mortality rate, the most significant characteristic of the mummy virus is its astonishingly high transmissibility through contact!
