One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

He had long wanted to find an opportunity to teach this guy who always disagreed with him a lesson.

Relying on his old friendship with his father, King Walpole, Dalton would frequently jump out to oppose King Walpole's wise decisions, making it seem as if the country would perish the next day if they didn't listen to him.

joke.

Dalton's face twitched violently a few times, his heart churning with inner turmoil, but he ultimately lowered his head: "Yes, Your Majesty, King Walpo."

The next moment, his body began to twist and swell violently, and the two sides of his forehead bulged out rapidly, turning into a pair of thick and hard bull horns. His muscles bulged all over his body and were covered with thick hair.

Zoan-type Devil Fruit, Ox-Ox Fruit, Bison Form, Human-Beast Form, here we come!

Boom!

Dalton's right foot, now transformed into a bull's hoof, slammed into the ground, sending snow flying. He charged towards Kane with unstoppable momentum, like a battering ram launched with all its might!

"Watch out! Dalton is a Devil Fruit user. His charge after transforming is enough to knock a hundred soldiers flying!"

Hiluluk tensed up instantly and shouted to Kane beside him, "You should leave now! Tell Chopper I'm sorry!"

Almost at the same moment he finished speaking, Dalton's powerful voice rang out in front of them.

"Violin attack!"

The massive iron shovel became a blur in his hands, tracing a deadly arc as it slashed fiercely toward Kane's chest!

However, at this critical moment, Kane seemed completely unaware of the attack that was right in front of him.

He even slowly turned his head to look at the panicked Hiruluk behind him and calmly said, "You should save those farewell words for the little reindeer yourself. I don't want to be a mouthpiece."

Dude, why would you have the time to talk to me at a time like this?

Hiluluk's attention was completely focused on Dalton's attack, and he instinctively reached out to push Kane away.

But when he grabbed Kane's clothes and pulled hard, he felt as if he were shaking a mountain.

The other party didn't budge an inch!

Kane remained standing in the same spot, without even changing his posture.

He simply raised his right hand expressionlessly and seemingly slowly.

That powerful strike, just as the shovel blade was about to touch Kane's clothes, mysteriously and without warning, stopped in mid-air!

"How...how is this possible?!"

"Captain Dalton once used this move to directly defeat an entire pirate crew."

The soldiers in the distance witnessed this unbelievable scene, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, their faith seemingly shattering at that moment.

Two slender fingers firmly gripped the shovel.

Dalton's forehead veins bulged, and he used all his strength, his face turning red, but the shovel could not be pushed forward even a millimeter!

Wapol, who had been watching the battle from the rear, grew anxious and roared, "Dalton! You useless idiot! Get him dead already!!"

If Dalton hadn't been fully engaged in a struggle with Kane and dared not be distracted in the slightest, he would have been ready to turn around and curse Walpo to death.

So you're not facing this monster yourself, are you?

Should I call you stubborn, or loyal?

Kane sighed softly, even yawning in boredom. "Why protect a king like that? If you ask me, we should just rebel."

Has Walpole rebelled?

These words struck Hiruluk like a thunderclap, causing his pupils to dilate suddenly.

What kind of friends did Chopper make?

Even someone who had once been a pirate couldn't have imagined such a blasphemous and earth-shattering thing!

"This, my friend, Wapol is the king of a member state of the World Government. If something happens to him, it will definitely attract the attention of the Navy and even the World Government. At that time, you will be in real danger!"

Hiluluk swallowed hard, struggling to find the right words to pull Kane back from the "dangerous" path.

Seemingly seeing a glimmer of hope for a peaceful resolution, Dalton interjected, "That's right, removing Wapol from the throne will only offend the World Government. If you're willing to stop, I can arrange for you and Hiluluk to leave safely!"

You're actually a pretty nice person.

Unfortunately, the reason I came here is to see Wapol.

Kane smiled without saying a word, then turned to look at Hiruluk: "Do you really believe that your own death can heal this country?"

Hiluluk remained silent.

He was well aware that the probability of success for his moth-to-a-flame-like actions was extremely low.

"Does the fact that the hope is slim mean we shouldn't do the right thing?"

The man raised his head, looked up at the gray sky, and a carefree smile, almost like that of a martyr, appeared on his face.

Even in the midst of boundless darkness, I am willing to be a spark trying to illuminate the way forward.

This time, it was Kane's turn to remain silent.

He saw in Hiruluk the epitome of countless idealists.

This is the essence of sacrificing one's life for righteousness.

The next second, to everyone's surprise, Kane actually released the two fingers that were gripping the shovel.

Dalton was startled. Before he could figure out what Kane was going to do, everything suddenly went black.

A large hand covered his face, firmly gripping his entire head!

Everyone only felt a blur before their eyes, and didn't even see how Kane moved.

boom!

With a muffled thud, the snow mixed with frozen soil was violently smashed open!

Dalton had a close encounter with the earth and instantly fell into a baby-like sleep.

Kane slowly straightened up, not even glancing at the unconscious Dalton, and began to walk unhurriedly toward Wapol.

"You want to heal this country?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to possess a strange penetrating power, clearly penetrating the ears of everyone present along with the biting cold wind.

"The method is actually as simple as it gets. It's just... you've never dared to think about it, much less dared to do it."

The soldiers looked worriedly at Captain Dalton, who had fallen to the ground, while simultaneously raising their guns in terror to aim at the approaching figure.

Their well-trained hands, however, seemed to be afflicted with a serious illness, trembling so much that they could barely keep their guns steady.

"Fire! Fire! Shoot this king! Kill this bastard!!"

Walpo was both shocked and furious, and roared hysterically like a fat cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Driven by instinct, the soldiers reflexively pulled the triggers.

A hail of bullets rained down on Kane like a storm.

Kane neither dodged nor avoided, maintaining his original pace as he walked forward.

One after another, scorching lead bullets struck his body, yet they could not even penetrate the outermost layer of skin. Like the weak fists of an incompetent husband, they bounced away in vain, falling helplessly to the ground with a crisp "clinking" sound.

dah, dah, dah, dah...

The steady and clear footsteps seemed not to be treading on snow, but rather striking the hearts of every soldier and doctor.

Their heartbeats involuntarily followed the rhythm of their footsteps, convulsing and contracting violently in waves.

"Uh... I think... I'm a little out of breath..."

The moment the thought crossed a doctor's mind, everything went black before his eyes, and he instantly lost all strength and consciousness, collapsing limply to the ground.

Snap, snap, snap, snap...

Like dumplings being dropped into a pot, soldiers and doctors rolled their eyes one after another, collapsing to the ground in droves, never to move again.

"What...what's going on?!"

Wahlbo rode on the hippo's back, his bulky body twisting violently and unnaturally, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

The bizarre scene before him was completely beyond his comprehension.

Under his horrified gaze, the demon-like figure walked step by step toward him.

"You don't even know what Conqueror's Haki is? You're a really bad king."

Kane shook his head. "Have some dignity and surrender."

"How is this possible!" Wapol gritted his teeth, then looked at his trusted subordinates: "Jes! Cromarimon! Come here! This king is about to unleash his ultimate move!"

The two trusted subordinates dared not delay and immediately stepped between Kane and Wapol.

Then, a miraculous scene unfolded.

Wapol suddenly opened his mouth, and his originally small mouth expanded rapidly like rubber, instantly reaching a width of more than a meter, swallowing the two subordinates blocking his way whole in one gulp.

Kane did not intervene, but simply stood by with his arms crossed, watching the scene with great interest.

A short while later, Wapol’s throat bulged, and he suddenly spat out a strangely shaped “synthetic human”—a fusion of Jess and Cromarimon.

This looks like one person riding on another's head?

Kane looked him up and down, finding it somewhat uninteresting.

He thought the so-called fusion was something like the fusion magic in Yu-Gi-Oh!

Is that all?

Wapol thought Kane was intimidated by his powerful abilities, and immediately laughed triumphantly: "Scared now! Since you're quite skilled, surrender now and pledge allegiance to this king, and I can make an exception and promote you to captain of the guard!"

Kane completely ignored his offer of recruitment and turned his attention to his companions who had just arrived at the edge of the mountain.

Yamato and the others were slowly descending on a cloud of flames created by Hiyori Kozuki's abilities.

"Ace, Zoro, Sanji, who among you is interested in stretching your muscles?" Kane asked casually.

This time, even the usually warlike Yamato couldn't muster any interest in that synthetic human; it was simply too weak.

Ace and the other two shared the same thought.

But since Kane was too lazy to do it himself, the interns naturally had to run errands.

After a round of rock-paper-scissors, the unlucky Ace accepted the mission.
