One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

Zoro crumpled his bounty poster into a ball and threw it away, then turned and headed to the training ground.

Damn it, my bounty is the lowest! I have to train harder!

"Hey, wait for us!"

Seeing this, Ace and Sanji followed without hesitation.

The three boys quickly immersed themselves in the intense training.

Chapter 115 The Aftermath of the War! Recruiting Murlocs!

The aftershocks of the war are spreading throughout the world.

East China Sea, Orange Town.

Bucky Barnes, dressed as a clown with a white skull painted on his forehead and a big red nose, stares at Shanks in the newspaper with an inscrutable expression.

"Shanks, you bastard idiot, how did you even climb to this position?"

The Grand Line, the Devil's Triangle.

Inside the gloomy castle, Moonlight Moria was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder, his huge hand crumpling the newspaper into a ball.

"Damn Kaido, has his power grown stronger again? Just wait... just wait! When I find a powerful enough shadow, I'll resurrect the legendary Demon Oars..."

His gaze swept greedily over the enormous, terrifying corpse hidden in the thick fog outside the window, his eyes gleaming with a fire of madness and ambition.

Kraigana Island.

Mihawk sat elegantly on the luxurious sofa, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, swirling it gently.

On the coffee table lay the freshly printed newspaper.

His sharp, hawk-like gaze swept over the reports about Shanks and Kane, and he muttered to himself with a hint of excitement, "Shanks, Kane, you've both gotten stronger..."

Sabaody Archipelago, a rip-off bar.

"The era of the Four Emperors? Shanks really did it."

Rayleigh, the King of the Underworld, looked at the newspaper and let out a sound that was hard to tell whether it was a sigh or a lament: "With the arrival of a new era, what should we, the remnants of the old era, do?"

Thinking of this, Rayleigh suddenly raised his hand: "Shakky, give me a glass of the strongest fire whiskey! Today I'm going to celebrate Shanks becoming the Emperor of the Sea!"

With a snap.

Shaki, once the world's most beautiful woman and now a bar owner, slapped away Rayleigh's raised arm without hesitation, squinting her eyes and smiling "kindly": "Don't even think about using this as an excuse to ask for a drink. When are you planning to settle your debt from last time? Hmm?"

"Hahaha... Well, don't be so serious, Xia Qi."

Rayleigh, his little scheme exposed, gave an embarrassed smile: "I'll have the money to pay the bill when I sell myself to the human auction house someday!"

White Earth Island, Baltigo, Revolutionary Army Headquarters.

Inside this secret hideout that the world government has been searching for with great effort but has been unable to locate.

Wearing a top hat, with short blond hair and large burn scars on his face, Sabo was tightly clutching a newly arrived bounty poster.

Looking at the boy in the photo, wearing an orange cowboy hat and smiling brightly, his tears silently slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the wanted poster.

"Ace...you really went to sea and became a pirate..."

Calm Belt, Amazon Lily.

Inside the luxurious Empress's palace, Boa Hancock, the world's most beautiful woman, was embracing a soft velvet blanket in an extremely undignified posture, her stunning face flushed with an unnatural redness.

Her long, slender, and breathtakingly white legs clenched tightly around the blankets like pythons. Her eyes were glazed as she gazed at Kane's slightly blurred yet undeniably imposing profile on the newspaper, letting out a dreamlike moan:

"Lord Kane...you're so~ handsome~! I...I can't breathe..."

Marineford, recruit training camp.

Luffy, dressed as a marine, stared enviously at Ace's arrogant smile on the wanted poster, muttering to himself, "Ahhh~ I really want to go to sea and become a pirate too..."

Boom!

A fair-skinned yet powerful fist slammed mercilessly onto his head.

"it hurts!"

Luffy immediately covered his head and squatted down, and a bright red bump bulged up at a visible speed.

With her hands on her hips and eyebrows raised, Ain snapped, "You're a Marine now! You should be mortal enemies with pirates! Get rid of these dangerous thoughts!"

"No!" Luffy clutched his head, wincing in pain, but still stubbornly retorted, "I just want to be a pirate!"

"Since you're so eager to become a pirate, then come with me. Let's see what real pirates are like!"

At that moment, a deep and authoritative voice broke in.

The two turned around and saw a man with short, spiky purple hair and a burly build walking towards them.

Beneath his right sleeve was a mechanical arm that gleamed with a cold metallic light!

"Professor Zephyr, are you going out to sea?"

Ayn immediately stood at attention and saluted, but her gaze was filled with worry as she looked at the mechanical arm.

"Don't worry, Ain."

Zefa raised the mechanical arm, deftly moved the metal fingers a few times, and said coldly, "This voyage will be a good opportunity to test the power of the mechanical arm that the scientists recently installed on me."

Wow! That's so cool!

Luffy's attention was instantly drawn to the powerful mechanical arm, and with shining eyes, he surrounded it, curiously touching it incessantly.

"Luffy! You can't be rude!"

Ayn sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. Wasn't this just rubbing salt into Zephyr's wounds?

Zephyr, however, remained unperturbed, his eyes, weathered by countless storms, fixed intently on Luffy: "You keep saying you want to be a pirate, don't you? Then I'll personally take you out to sea and let you see for yourself what the real ocean and real pirates are really like!"

These days of getting to know each other allowed Zephyr to see clearly the "wrong seedling" that Garp had brought.

Luffy's nature is kindness and the pursuit of ultimate freedom. Rather than saying he yearns to become a pirate, it would be more accurate to say that he yearns for the unrestrained freedom that pirates represent.

He was determined to take Luffy to see and experience it for himself.

Make him understand that true freedom is not about acting recklessly like those pirates who burn, kill, and plunder!

A certain patch of sky.

On a floating island.

The man with long, golden hair that reached the ground like a lion's mane, Shiki the Golden Lion, was clutching the latest issue of the World Economic News, his face filled with drooling.

The rudder inserted into his skull made him look like a strange and angry rooster.

"What a powerful beast!"

According to newspaper reports, Kaido's beast army is even more ferocious than the beasts he enhanced with IQ!

"If I fed my IQ to those beasts... not to mention the small East Blue, I could turn the entire Grand Line upside down!!"

Thinking of that devastating scene, Shiki was so excited that he could hardly contain himself, as if he could already see the chaotic storm he had created with his own hands.

Red Line, Mary Geoise, Between Powers.

The five elders gathered, and the atmosphere was as heavy as iron.

"Didn't Vegapunk vehemently claim that the artificial Devil Fruit was a failure?"

Financial Martial God Nassuro Sei frowned as he looked at the intelligence report in his hand.

According to intelligence, a pink dragon is engaged in fierce combat.

Environmental Martial God Maz Saint snorted: "I'm afraid that the world's number one scientist is starting to have his own little schemes."

The God of Law and War, Vocuri, turned his gaze aside and said, "Satan, you are the most knowledgeable about science and technology among us. You should go to Punk Hazard yourself and 'remind' Vegapunk to remember his position and responsibilities."

He paused, then added, "At the same time, we restarted the research program for artificial Devil Fruits. It turned out that it wasn't a project destined to fail."

The scientific defense god, Satan Saint, slowly nodded and accepted the task.

He glanced at the other four and added in a low voice, "There's one more thing. After this battle, the overall strength shown by the Beasts Pirates seems to have exceeded expectations."

The other four elders' expressions simultaneously darkened.

They had been keeping a close eye on Shanks' whereabouts and naturally had a fairly clear understanding of the strength of Shanks and his pirate crew.

That's definitely a powerful force on par with a pirate emperor.

That's why they were the most surprised by the news that the Beasts Pirates had almost wiped out the Red-Haired Pirates.

It's important to know that the Beasts Pirates didn't go all out this time; at least a third of their elite forces remained in Wano Country.

Nassuro Sei wiped his sword: "Will they be the next Rocks?"

"Compared to Rocks, it might be too early to say," said Sacred Vochuli coldly. "But we absolutely cannot stand by and watch Kaido's power continue to expand like this!"

The lesson learned from the Rocks Pirates was far too painful. No matter how small the possibility, the World Government will never allow a second monster pirate crew like this to appear.

"In that case, let's begin to restrict the Beasts Pirates. And the starting point..."

The voice of the agricultural god, Pittor Saint, finally delivered the final blow: "Let's start with that natural disaster, Kane."

……

The Land of Harmony, the Capital of Flowers.

"That's how it is." A sweet and charming voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "The Five Elders have decided to ask me to find a way to drive a wedge between you and Kaido. The price they offered is quite high."

"Oh?"

Kane casually propped his feet up on the desk, sank deep into the large chair, and smiled playfully. "What kind of price? Tell me, let me see how much the World Government thinks I'm worth."

"A legitimate seat among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, plus the legitimate status and ruling power of a king of a member state of the World Government. How about it?"

Stussy said with envy, "This is the first time I've seen the Five Elders offer such a high price to win over a pirate."

"Tch, isn't that just Doflamingo?"

Kane scoffed, "I never imagined that in their eyes my value is equivalent to that of a down-on-his-luck Celestial Dragon who was expelled from Mary Geoise? That's too cheap."

It's because I don't have enough value in the united front.

Like the future Loki, the Five Elders offered him a price to become a Celestial Dragon.
