One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

As expected of the King of News, even a guy like the Golden Lion, who floats in the sky, has to deal with his newspaper-delivering seagull.

Thus, they unknowingly revealed the approximate location of their lair.

Those seemingly harmless seagulls that deliver newspapers are practically like a "sky eye" system that covers the entire world.

"No time to waste, let's go!"

Kane soared into the sky, transformed into his beast form, grabbed the large ship, and took off.

Who knows if the Golden Lion might suddenly decide to relocate quickly?

Meanwhile, Hiyori Kozuki on the deck was not idle either.

She created a cloud that steadily supported the bottom of the ship, greatly reducing the overall weight of the vessel and relieving Kane of a huge burden.

With these two factors combined, the Sky Piercer was now speeding towards the Golden Lion's location at an extraordinary speed.

After flying for three days, the Reckoning Star crossed the Red Line and successfully entered the waters of the Grand Line.

"I see!"

Violet, who had been using her Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit powers to scan the distant horizon like a human radar, suddenly shouted, "Ahead! There's an island floating in the air!"

In just a few minutes, the enormous islands came into clear view of everyone.

They are quite different from the well-known Sky Islands.

The floating islands are supported by a vast cloud called the "White Sea".

The Sky Island is essentially an island cloud floating on the sea clouds.

The archipelago that Kane saw before him, however, was a real land composed of rocks, soil, and vegetation.

These islands can float in the sky, defying the laws of physics, naturally thanks to unscientific Devil Fruits.

Just as Kane and his party were rushing towards the floating islands ahead.

On the main island, the highest and largest of the archipelago, Shiki the Golden Lion was appraising his proudest masterpiece.

Years ago, after escaping from Impel Down, he stumbled upon an island teeming with ferocious beasts.

Driven by curiosity, he successfully found the cause of the beasts' rampage on the island.

A plant called IQ.

It can drive wild beasts into a frenzy.

In order to take revenge on the World Government, Shiki decided to study this plant, mass-produce it, and create ferocious beasts in large quantities.

Then, throw them into the East China Sea and destroy it!

"Roar!"

Below, in a specially cleared area, a gigantic gorilla, thirty meters tall with muscles as bulging as mountains, was wreaking havoc.

Its eyes were bloodshot and filled with a violent and ferocious aura. With a single, terrifying wave of its hand, it could smash giant rocks, leaving a trail of catastrophic devastation in its wake.

The golden lion, standing on the high observation deck, had a thick cigar in its mouth, took a deep, satisfied drag, and let the smoke slowly exhale from its nostrils.

His signature long blond hair danced in the wind like a lion's mane.

"Hehehehe. This is the ultimate biological weapon I've been wanting!"

The golden lion laughed wildly, its eyes flashing with madness and triumph.

"Let me see just how powerful this thing really is."

The golden lion smiled and said to his subordinate beside him.

"clear."

Beside him, a man with a snow-white face, an exaggerated blue afro, and dressed like a circus clown responded.

He quickly pressed a few buttons on a peculiar remote control in his hand.

Om-!

The massive iron gate at the edge of the field below opened with a thud!

The next moment, three giant mutated beasts, each with bloodshot eyes and exuding a dangerous and violent aura, rushed out from behind the door like wild horses.

They are a terrifying octopus waving huge tentacles, a ferocious hippopotamus with menacing fangs, and a giant crocodile with menacing scales.

These three ferocious beasts, without any sense of reason, charged one after another at the giant gorilla in the center of the arena!

"Roar!"

Faced with the attack, the gorilla did not back down; instead, it was aroused to be even more ferocious.

It let out a deafening roar, and its powerful hind legs slammed into the ground, launching a counter-charge.

The next moment, something unexpected happened.

Faced with three mutated beasts that were no less large than itself and equally ferocious, this gorilla displayed overwhelming power.

It simply threw a few punches and kicks, and the seemingly powerful offensive was shattered, with the three beasts retreating in defeat.

"Roar!" The gorilla's huge hand precisely gripped the crocodile's jaws, which were covered with sharp teeth.

With a terrifying roar, its arm muscles bulged horribly, and it snapped its arm open with tremendous force.

Click.

The sickening sound of bones cracking was clearly audible.

The powerful weapon that the crocodile relies on for survival was forcibly broken from its body.

Not satisfied, the gorilla suddenly lifted the struggling crocodile high above its head, unleashing tremendous force with its arms, tearing it apart to both sides.

Splash!

Blood mixed with entrails rained down from the sky.

The crocodile was torn in half alive!

If it were a normal animal, it would have been too terrified to approach this bloody and violent scene, its liver and gallbladder trembling with fear.

But the beasts, whose rationality has been completely stripped away by the IQ serum and left only with primal killing desires, have no idea what fear is.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the giant octopus moved forward, its countless thick tentacles rapidly coiling around the gorilla's massive body like a giant python, attempting to crush its bones with its most proficient constricting technique.

However, such attacks seemed to have no effect on the gorilla.

It only felt a tightness on its skin, which was slightly uncomfortable.

Immediately, its enormous hand easily grasped the octopus tentacles on its body, and once again unleashed astonishing brute force, pulling it outward with a violent jerk.

puff!puff!

The tough tentacles snapped instantly! Like tearing apart several slightly thicker ropes!

Following the same method, several of the octopus's main tentacles were torn off one after another, leaving only a bald head that kept splattering blue blood.

Immediately afterwards, the gorilla punched the octopus's enormous eye socket and cruelly churned inside!

The octopus fell completely silent.

Finally, even the seemingly tough and resilient giant hippopotamus could not escape death.

It was pinned to the ground by the ferocious gorilla, and its enormous head was repeatedly struck by the terrifying fist like a pile driver, until it completely collapsed and lost all signs of life.

Within minutes, only the giant gorilla covered in blood remained on the field.

The next second, the berserk gorilla, now without its opponent, suddenly raised its head, its crimson eyes fixed on the Golden Lion and Indigo watching from the high platform!

In those eyes was an undisguised, almost boiling, pure killing intent!

Just do it!

The behemoth, whose ferocity had been fully unleashed by the IQ serum, immediately let out a deafening roar. Its incredibly thick hind legs burst forth with terrifying power, and it leaped up, actually jumping directly onto the steep rock face, its thick fingers digging deep into the rock.

At this moment, its enormous body was only a dozen meters away from the observation deck where the Golden Lion and Indigo were located.

It was as if with just one more leap, he could tear those two tiny humans to shreds.

The two people on the stage showed no sign of panic.

Indigo was even calmly holding his notebook, quickly recording the astonishing jumping ability and aggressiveness data displayed by the gorilla at that moment.

Just as the gorilla was about to continue climbing up the rock wall, the golden lion scoffed disdainfully, casually raised his hand, and waved it lightly towards the area below.

Rumbling--

The seemingly ordinary rocky ground below suddenly came to life, with several thick chains made of hard rock bursting out!

Under the precise control of the Golden Lion Float-Float Fruit, these chains seemed to possess life and will, like a lurking giant python suddenly launching an attack, shooting straight at the gorilla on the rock wall with astonishing speed!

The gorilla was completely unprepared for this attack, and before it could react, its limbs and neck were instantly and firmly bound by cold rock chains.

"Roar!"

It let out a roar of shock and rage, and immediately began to struggle frantically, trying to use its terrifying brute strength, enough to tear apart a crocodile, to break free of its restraints.

However, as soon as it exerted its force, an unimaginable power suddenly erupted from those rock chains.

The chains tightened suddenly, easily dragging the enormous creature off the rock face.

Like swinging a rag doll, it was slammed hard into the center of the field, and then the chains tightened, firmly binding it to the ground. No matter how much it screamed and struggled, it could no longer move!

The once arrogant gorilla has now become a pathetic prisoner.

The golden lion easily suppressed the ape's rebellion. Far from being angry, he opened his arms wide and laughed triumphantly to the sky:

"Heh heh heh heh. See that, Indigo! This is the perfect candidate for the IQ serum!"

"Indigo, produce these ferocious beasts like crazy!"

But his response wasn't Indigo's affirmation, but rather...

"Damn it! What do you want to say?! Speak properly!" the Golden Lion roared angrily.

What the hell is this guy gesturing wildly with his hands?

Who can understand this?

"And those lousy shoes you're wearing! Get me a new pair! They make a 'plop plop' sound when you walk, like you're farting! It's so annoying!"

The Golden Lion frowned deeply, pointed at the shoes at Indigo's feet that made strange noises, and roared in exasperation.
