One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

Because Garp ate all the rice crackers that he bought!

Speaking of this grandfather and grandson, Zhan Guo was both angry and amused.

"Luffy has finally gotten back on the right path."

Tsuru, who never gets involved in the senbei dispute, smiled and said, "Recently, Zephyr, along with a few students, wiped out a pirate crew called 'Arlong' in the East Blue and rescued a village that had been suffering from oppression."

Recalling the details in the battle report, Sengoku's face showed a hint of relief.

As the grandson of a naval hero, Luffy's every move after joining the Navy is naturally under the watchful eyes of his old friends.

Of course, Luffy's stubborn words and actions are the same.

If it weren't for Garp's influence, and the fact that Luffy isn't inherently bad and is just a simple, stubborn kid, the Navy would have expelled Luffy long ago.

Fortunately, Garp's decision to hand Luffy over to Zephyr for training recently turned out to be a lucky accident.

Not only has Luffy's mindset changed, but Zephyr's mindset also seems to have changed.

Furthermore, Luffy's amazing talent in battle also gave them a pleasant surprise.

Not just any twelve-year-old boy can contend with a pirate with a bounty of 2000 million Berries.

A sea area in the New World.

Moby Dick.

"Dad, look at today's news."

Marco handed a copy of the World Economic Journal to the white-bearded man who was receiving an IV drip.

"Gurararara... Is there any interesting news this time?"

Whitebeard took the newspaper, his massive frame straightening slightly. When he saw the headline, his hearty laughter subsided slightly: "Oh... Shiki got taken down."

Another remnant of the old era is gone.

He gazed at the vast sea, a fleeting, almost imperceptible loneliness flashing in his eyes.

World of Warcraft, Whole Cake Island.

"Mommy, Mommy!"

Charlotte Linlin stuffed a huge cake into her mouth while mumbling with disgust, "That old lion is really getting worse. He actually got taken down by a brat who's only just started showing his face!"

USS Redford.

"Did the Golden Lion die too?"

Shanks put down the newspaper, picked up the bottle of liquor beside him, and took a swig of liquor with a touch of emotion.

He still vividly remembers the earth-shattering Battle of Aitwall.

In the blink of an eye, the man who once rivaled Captain Roger for supremacy has also come to an end.

Beckman, standing to the side, carefully wiped the gun with one hand, seemingly indifferent, but a hint of fighting spirit flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes.

The Grand Line.

An island that has just been released back into the sea by the golden lion.

Kane and his group are taking a short rest here.

"Brother Kane, you're on the front page!"

Sanji came running over, waving a freshly printed newspaper, his voice excited.

Morgans is a fast man.

Kane sighed to himself.

"But... that's strange."

Sanji leaned closer, pointed to the photo in the newspaper, and asked in confusion, "It doesn't seem like Kane's new form is in there?"

“Then I specifically instructed Morgans,” Kane explained.

When it comes to awakening one's abilities, it's best to keep them hidden for as long as possible, as catching someone off guard is the best way to maximize the benefits.

It's at least a trump card, no matter how big it is.

Just as the two were talking, the Den Den Mushi in Kane's arms started ringing incessantly.

Upon answering, almost all the messages were congratulatory from various partners.

"Congratulations, Kane! You've done something truly remarkable! Even the legendary Golden Lion has fallen to you! The underworld is buzzing with praise for your 'Calamity'!"

"Lord Kane~ When will you have time to visit Pleasure Street? I can't wait to hear you recount the details of your battle with the Golden Lion."

……

It can only be said that the infamous reputation that the Golden Lion has accumulated over the years is not for nothing.

Defeating him would bring a real boost to one's reputation.

three days later.

An unnamed island, on the edge of a towering cliff overlooking the sea.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, it painted the horizon and the boundless sea a warm orange-red, and the shimmering surface of the sea sparkled with glittering gold.

Occasionally, the long, drawn-out calls of seabirds could be heard in the distance, and the gentle sea breeze rustled softly through the grass.

All around was peaceful and serene.

A newly built, simple earthen mound stands quietly here. In front of the tomb is a stone tablet that briefly introduces the life of the Golden Lion, and hanging on it is the Golden Lion's personal cloak.

In stark contrast to the tranquil scene was Kaido's enormous figure sitting cross-legged in front of the grave.

"Waaaaah... Shiki, you bastard, how could you just die like that!"

"It's all your fault for being too weak! You got taken down so easily!"

He rushed over upon receiving the news, bursting into tears without any regard for his image. He wiped away his tears and snot with his huge hands while chugging strong liquor down his throat, the liquor mixing with his tears and wetting his tangled beard.

Kane and his group watched quietly from a distance.

"Hey, is this for real?"

Ace's eyes widened, almost unable to believe what he was seeing.

He lowered his voice and nudged Zoro beside him with his elbow, "That's Kaido, one of the Four Emperors."

Does the mighty Pirate Emperor really have such a temperamental side?

He thought that a monster of Kaido's caliber only fought to the death.

Kane crossed his arms and explained casually, "They were once in the same boat."

Although Rocks used a kidnapping game to bring Whitebeard and his crew together, the relationships among the crew members weren't too bad because of Rocks' personal charisma.

There is still some semblance of kinship among them.

Of course, this affection is only expressed in the form of grieving for a while after the other person's death.

After crying for a while, Kaido drank the strong liquor in the gourd in one gulp, then stood up unsteadily and turned to leave without looking back.

"Hey kid, I heard your fruit has awakened?"

Laughter, heavy with the smell of alcohol, rang out. A drunken Kaido stared intently at Kane, his eyes filled with undisguised fighting spirit.

His massive body leaned slightly forward, creating a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Shall we have a battle that puts the Beasts Pirates at stake?"

The Beasts Pirates' ironclad rule of "might makes right" runs through the entire crew from top to bottom. Even the captain himself is always ready to accept challenges from stronger opponents!

Kane did not shy away from this sensitive and dangerous topic.

He raised his head, looking directly at Kaido without fear, his tone calm yet firm: "Wait for my return from my travels."

Having finally made it to the Grand Line, he didn't want to return to the New World so hastily.

Perhaps, after this trip, the eyes of the world government and the navy will truly be focused on him, and unprecedented pressure will follow.

He must take advantage of this relatively "free" time to fully appreciate the scenery of the sea.

"Hmm... a trip? Hmm, interesting! I'll be waiting for you to come back!"

Upon hearing this, Kaido showed no displeasure or urge, but instead let out a deafening laugh and continued to stagger toward the shore.

Upon reaching the shore, Kaido transformed into his Azure Dragon form and soared into the air.

He flew over Ruskena Island and manipulated the fiery clouds to forcibly drag it off the sea.

Kane had already moved all the IQ plants, research data, and valuable loot to the island beforehand.

Kaido can be taken away directly.

only……

Kaido, completely drunk, couldn't even maintain his flight posture. His huge dragon body wobbled and twisted, causing the massive Ruskeina Island below to shake and sway violently in the air, as if it were about to fall at any moment.

"Don't keep me waiting too long. *burp*"

Azure Dragon let out a loud burp, exhaling a few sparks and the smell of alcohol, and diligently pulled Ruskena Island away.

"Wait a minute!"

Kane cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted, "Wrong direction! Wano Country is to the west!"

"Hmm? Is that so?"

High in the sky, the Azure Dragon, in a daze, flicked its tail, and its massive body and the island it dragged clumsily turned in the air.

"Wrong, that's to the south!"

Kane sighed and corrected him again.

After several heart-stopping corrections and adjustments, the drunken Kaido finally found his way to the west (probably) and slowly disappeared into the horizon.

"Will this really allow us to safely bring the island back?"

Ace was dumbfounded; his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"It seems like we have no other choice but to believe him."

Kane shrugged helplessly.
