One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

At Hody's command, he and several other core executives simultaneously pulled out a sealed medicine box from their pockets, took out a capsule, and swallowed it without even looking at it.

The moment the deadly drug ES entered their stomachs, Hody and the others' eyes suddenly turned blood red, and their muscles swelled up.

"not good!"

Upon seeing this, King Neptune's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in alarm, "Be careful! That's a deadly drug; one pill can double your strength!"

At this moment, he finally understood who had stolen the batch of deadly drugs that had been sealed in a jade box three years ago and later mysteriously disappeared.

However, despite his panicked tone, Kane and his group remained calm, and the three children were even laughing.

“A small fry is still a small fry. Even if its strength is increased many times over, it will not be a match for Brother Kane.”

Jack crossed his arms, snorted coldly, and spoke with a tone full of disdain.

Even Yamato, who always loved fighting, was completely uninterested at this moment.

"They are too weak."

She pursed her lips in boredom; compared to the enemy before her, the large ship outside was far more captivating to her.

Only Jinbe offered a few words of explanation to his old friend.

"Don't worry, Neptune. Hody and his gang can't pull any tricks. They have no idea what the Cataclysm Kane means..."

As if to confirm Jinbe's words, the emerald dragon in mid-air simply uttered two words softly, as if chanting.

"thunder!"

Before Hody and the others could even feel the thrill of their sudden surge in power, let alone react in any way.

The next instant, countless bolts of lightning, as thick as buckets, struck them precisely.

The blinding lightning instantly engulfed Hody and all the cadres who had taken the dangerous drug!

Shila-

After the tooth-grinding crackling of electricity, there was a deathly silence.

thump! thump!

To the horrified eyes of Neptune and the others, Hody Jones and his men, still charging forward, were reduced to charred, smoking, unrecognizable corpses, falling straight to the ground.

They died swiftly and decisively, without any dramatic turn of events.

So-called deadly drugs and so-called ambitions are as fragile as a joke in the face of absolute power.

"Brother Hody!"

His followers then realized what was happening and frantically tried to surround him.

"Watch out! Don't step on any of you guys!"

"Damn it! I told you to be careful! Who crushed Brother Hody's right hand?!"

"Ah! Brother Tos's left leg... is broken!"

In the chaotic, crowded scene, Hody and his teammates' already charred and fragile bodies were trampled to pieces by their own people, with fragments flying everywhere, making it impossible for them to win the resurrection match.

Seeing this, the fish-men who had originally planned to join the Beasts Pirates became even more convinced of their judgment, their eyes filled with fanaticism.

It still has to be Kane, the boss!

With a single move, they utterly crushed the bones to ashes.

The fishmen who were previously hesitant and observing no longer had any doubts and joined the queue, which instantly grew even larger.

Kane slowly descended, transforming back into human form.

He glanced at the queue and roughly estimated that there were more than a thousand people.

Speed, who remained on the ship, had already arrived with a team to help maintain order and register passengers.

Otherwise, Robin alone would probably be busy all day and still not be able to finish registering everything.

While directing the King's Army to help maintain order, Jinbe had his men carefully collect the remains of Hody and the others.

We were once fellow fish-people, so we should at least be laid to rest in peace.

As he approached carrying a large box filled with charred fragments, Kane suggested, “Let’s take Hody to Queen Otohime’s grave to apologize, and let Shirahoshi see her mother as well.”

Neptune was taken aback.

Yeah, how come I didn't think of that?

Neptune nodded repeatedly: "Thank you for the reminder, Lord Kane. I will return to Dragon Palace and take Shirahoshi to the Sea Forest."

Although Shirahoshi hadn't offered to visit her mother's grave for a long time, Neptune knew that it was simply because the kind-hearted daughter didn't want her willful request to cause the guards to suffer an attack from Vander Decken IX.

She was actually really looking forward to it.

Without hesitation, Neptune led the three princes and a portion of the royal army back to Dragon Palace to fetch Shirahoshi.

at the same time.

A male merman wearing a small top hat and multiple necklaces, with four legs, suddenly stopped his furtive movements.

"Shirahoshi?"

Van der Deiken IX, having caught the key words, had a sudden inspiration.

He had only been called over by Hody to take advantage of the chaos and do something, but he never expected to have such a wonderful surprise!

"Little darling, you're finally going to get out of that damned tower~ Hehehehe..."

Vander Deiken IX rubbed his hands together like a fly.

If I can get close to Shirahoshi, I can just throw her onto my pirate ship.

At that time, no matter how hard Neptune searched, he would not be able to find it.

Jie Jie Jie...

One hour later, at the Sea Forest.

Soft light filtered through the roots of the sun tree Eve and the layers of seawater, dappling the tranquil land.

Located northeast of Fishman Street, this place is also known as the "Ship Graveyard" because many shipwrecks from the sea are transported here by the tides.

At the same time, this is also a peaceful cemetery for the deceased on Fishman Island, where Queen Otohime is laid to rest.

"Thank you for your suggestion, Brother Kane. I'm finally... finally able to visit Mother! Shirahoshi is so happy!"

The mermaid loli was so excited that she couldn't stop crying.

The three princes standing beside her, upon hearing their sister's tearful thanks, involuntarily lowered their heads in disappointment, their faces filled with guilt and self-reproach.

It's all their fault for being incompetent.

As the elder brother, he was unable to deal with Vander Decken IX, forcing his sister to hide in the Hard Shell Tower.

Even the simple wish of visiting his mother's grave to pay his respects cannot be fulfilled.

Chapter 120 Joy Boy's Apology! Vander Deiken IX, dead!

While Princess Shirahoshi excitedly followed her family to Queen Otohime's tomb, Vander Decken IX, who had been lurking in the shadows, began his mad operation.

He crept up to a huge coral tree, waved his webbed hands, and slapped them hard.

Click.

A huge section of coral, requiring several people to encircle it, snapped in two and crashed heavily to the ground.

He then grabbed the huge piece of coral and casually tossed it forward.

Strange things happened.

The heavy piece of coral seemed to come alive, changing direction in mid-air and flying rapidly towards the direction of the Sea Forest!

Vander Decken IX leaped and landed above the coral, letting it carry him through the air.

"Go, take me to see my love!"

He spread his arms wide and shouted frantically, "Shirahoshi! I'm here—!!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Sea Forest.

The Neptune family went to pay their respects at the final resting place of Queen Otohime, while Kane and his companions went to another, relatively secluded area in the forest.

There, a huge, ancient square stone stands quietly amidst the dappled shadows of trees and the remains of a shipwreck, its edges covered with dark green moss.

The surface of the boulder is covered with dense, ancient, and mysterious characters, waiting for guests who can decipher their meaning.

"This...this is...the Poneglyph!"

Robin's pupils suddenly contracted, and her breathing became rapid.

She rushed over without hesitation, her slender fingers trembling slightly with excitement, and carefully touched the cold and rough stone surface.

"That's right, this is the surprise I was talking about."

Kane smiled slightly.

Although he already knew the contents of the document, giving it to Robin as a gift was the best option, far more valuable than gold or jewels.

"I know this place!"

Yamato also spoke up excitedly, "Roger and Oden were here too! It's recorded in their diaries!"

But then, a look of doubt appeared on her face: "But... according to the diary, there should be two pieces of historical text here, right? Where did the other one go?"

"We don't know who took them away, and their whereabouts are unknown."

Kane was somewhat disappointed.

The missing piece is one of the four red road markers necessary to reach Laugh Tale.

Finding it is equivalent to obtaining all the coordinates of Laugh Tale.

Because the positions of the other three pieces—no, two pieces—have already been determined.

It's all Oda's fault! He only mentioned a burned man; where was he supposed to find one?

Kane muttered to himself in exasperation.

However, for now, there is no need to rush to find Raphdru.
