One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

They got these guys from Fishman Street to obey orders so quickly.

On the other side, Kawamatsu played the good cop, gently comforting the slightly uneasy women and children in the crowd.

Within just a few days, he also won the trust of most immigrants with his honest and reliable character.

After everyone disembarked, Kane met Jhin, who had been notified in advance and was waiting there.

"Mr. Jin, have their accommodations been arranged?"

As the first thing to do upon entering the factory, dormitory arrangements must be made immediately.

Jin nodded and answered succinctly, "I have already sent people to investigate underwater. Although the ruins under the inner sea are ancient, they are relatively well preserved because they have been submerged for many years. However, the internal repairs and renovations still need to be carried out."

Kane replied matter-of-factly, "Then let them handle it themselves."

This is practically a free house for them; the fishmen and mermaids will surely do their best to help.

Jhin tilted his head, his gaze sweeping over Kane and across the considerable number of murlocs and mermaids Kane had brought, a rare hint of admiration in his tone.

“Well done. With these people, we no longer have to worry about underwater threats.”

Not only Shanks, but Big Mom and Whitebeard also have their own dedicated fishman squads.

In this world where the ocean reigns supreme, a reliable merman army offers a tremendous strategic advantage.

Now, the Beasts Pirates have finally made up for this weakness.

Kane spoke calmly, his gaze sweeping over the immigrants who were curiously observing their new environment in the distance: "This is just the beginning. As long as this group of fish-people and mermaids can live a good life here and their livelihoods are guaranteed, the number of immigrants will naturally increase in the future."

They might even be able to move the entire Fishman Island over.

Jin frowned slightly and raised a practical question: "But how do you plan to deal with and settle so many fishmen and mermaids?"

He wasn't worried about where to stay, as the inland sea of ​​Wano Country was deep and vast enough.

But the Beasts Pirates are not a charity; they can't just let so many fish-men and mermaids eat for free.

But it's obviously unrealistic for them all to become pirates.

"You don't need to worry about that at all."

Kane confidently counted on his fingers, listing them one by one: "Those who are strong and willing to fight can be added to the pirate force; those who are a little weaker can work in factories or mine deep-sea minerals..."

He also had a huge business plan in mind regarding Den Den Mushi (snail phone).

If everything goes smoothly on Tesoro's side, it can be implemented in a while.

In fact, he even felt that Wano Country had too small a population.

In this country where labor-intensive industries are dominant, the population itself is the most valuable resource and wealth.

Kane even wanted to find an excuse to reduce the burden on the residents of Wano Country and let them have more children.

King gave Kane a deep look, his tone becoming somewhat subtle: "If you continue to follow your plans step by step... the Beast Pirates will probably no longer be just a simple pirate crew. You're treating it like a real country, managing and developing it."

Kane met his gaze and asked in return, "What's wrong with that? Mr. Jin, you should understand that relying solely on traditional methods of burning, killing, and looting can only yield extremely limited resources and development potential."

"To support bigger dreams, we must have a more solid foundation and more abundant output."

After a moment of silence, King had to admit that Kane's plan, in the long run, would be of great benefit to the overall strength and future prospects of the Beasts Pirates.

but……

So, will the Beasts Pirates still be Kaido's Beasts Pirates in the future?

"Mr. Jin, the initial resettlement of these fishmen and mermaid immigrants will be entrusted to you for overall coordination."

Kane's voice interrupted Jhin's thoughts.

He then went on to explain in detail his plan to divide the new immigrants into two groups, assigning one group to Jack to manage combat personnel and the other to Hesong to manage non-combat personnel.

"Let's do it your way."

King did not object and calmly accepted the plan: "I will pass on the word that no member of the Beasts Pirates is allowed to intentionally harm them. Anyone who touches them will die!"

He needs to ensure that these valuable personnel are not subjected to unnecessary interference and disruption during the initial integration phase.

"That would be perfect."

Kane grinned.

What the fish-men and mermaids want is not privilege, but simply an opportunity to live together as equals.

He wouldn't implement racial preferential policies; providing a relatively stable environment free from malicious bullying is already the maximum preferential treatment he can offer.

As for those who insist on courting death and actively provoke the rules of the beasts, he will not specifically protect them.

"There is one more important thing."

Jin changed the subject, and his usually calm, almost cold voice suddenly became tinged with obvious annoyance.

He told Kane some truly terrible news.

"What? What do you mean... Ruscaina Island has flown away?!"

Kane's eyes widened suddenly, his face filled with disbelief.

This is Wano Country!

The Beasts Pirates' headquarters!

An important island was stolen right on our doorstep?

If word got out, wouldn't the old lady and the redhead laugh their heads off?!

It may be hard to believe, but it's the truth.

“On the day of the incident, Mr. Kaido happened to be away from Onigashima.”

Jin's tone was full of helplessness, revealing the key reason.

As everyone knows, Kaido's hobbies, besides helping people quit being addicted to the king, include experiencing bungee jumping without a rope. Even Kane was recruited because of this hobby.

On the day of the incident, Kaido had a sudden urge to go out and find a new suicide spot, and he hasn't returned even today.

"Who did this?"

Now that things had come to this, after the initial shock, Kane quickly calmed down, and the most important thing now was to try to minimize the losses.

Ruskaina Island is involved in research on artificial Devil Fruits.

If it weren't for the fact that Judge has a habit of storing key raw materials, this crucial research would probably have been forced to stop by now.

"do not know."

Jin shook his head, then said with certainty, "But it is very likely related to the Golden Lion."

According to reports, on the night of the incident, someone vaguely saw the island flying in the sky while urinating in the middle of the night, but he thought it was just his vision being blurred due to drinking too much and didn't pay attention to it.

It wasn't until they woke up the next morning and discovered that the huge island had truly vanished that they hurriedly reported it.

Looking across the entire ocean, there are only a handful of people who possess the ability to make islands fly.

"So, we're going to challenge the Golden Lion to war?"

After hearing the whole story, Kane had completely focused his suspicions on the Golden Lion.

There's no other reason than the Golden Lion, who has the capability and the need to move islands across the high seas.

Besides, regardless of whether it's him or not, finding the Golden Lion himself is always the right thing to do.

They are pirates, not judges; they don't need evidence.

Jin nodded: "I can't contact Mr. Kaido for the time being, so I need you to find Shiki and find out the truth. Ruskaina Island cannot be lost for no reason."

He can fly, but with Kaido absent, he needs to oversee the overall situation and cannot personally lead an expedition.

Kane accepted the task without much hesitation.

In his memory, the version of the Golden Lion with its legs broken was not very dangerous.

Even Gear Second Luffy could defeat him, although it was Luffy from the movie.

The only difficulty is not the battle, but how to find a constantly moving flying island in the vast sky.

This is like finding a needle in a haystack.

However, with Hiyori and Violet around, it's not impossible to pinpoint the location of the Golden Lion's lair.

However, before that, he had to go see Quinn.

Quinn Labs.

"Damn Kane, what are you making me research now?"

Quinn pushed up his goggles and cursed.

"Underwater weapons, specifically for use by the fishman troops. There are also underwater mining tools and equipment."

Kane shrugged, unconcerned about Quinn's attitude, and listed out what he wanted one by one.

The series of demands made Quinn's face twitch.

He studied underwater weapons without hesitation, it was just something he did casually.

But you translate for me what "underwater mining equipment" means!

I'm a weapons and chemical expert, not someone who designs civilian products for you!

Quinn shouted, "No way! I'd rather die than do it! You're insulting my character! You're insulting my skills!"

He was determined that no matter what Kane said, he would not take the job this time!

Chapter 124 Positive Quinn

"Is that so? Then I'll have no choice but to let Judge take charge of the research on underwater equipment."

"Alas, what a pity... If this task had been completed well, it would have certainly earned Mr. Kaido's high praise. After all, building a powerful fishman army is one of his most important tasks at the moment."

Kane sighed with feigned regret and expertly summoned the Judge card.

"I refuse."

"Okay...wait?!"

Kane was taken aback.
