One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

Even though he was a native of Sky Island, he still understood the meaning of the word "internship".

"We'll see how you perform from here. Starting from the bottom will help you understand and integrate into our team."

Kane shrugged and began his first lesson in PUA.

Upon hearing this, Ace and Sanji immediately burst into laughter.

Even if you're stronger than us, so what? Brother Kane treats everyone the same.

Do you even know what seniority means?

Ignoring Enel's completely out-of-control facial expressions, Kane directly demanded the original blueprints of the Ark Maxim from him.

Soon, a heavy wooden crate was carried to Kane, filled with a large number of old, yellowed blueprints that exuded the scent of time.

Kane picked up a few pages at random and flipped through them. The lines were complex, and the pages were marked with unfamiliar symbols and characters.

Yeah, I really can't understand a single word.

Seeing Kane also looking at a loss, Enel's lips almost curled up to the sky.

And you still have the nerve to say that I, the God, messed up the blueprints?

He had at least learned some engineering knowledge in Bica when he was young, so he could be considered a minor intellectual.

Kane, however, didn't seem to care and carefully put the blueprints back into the box.

Everyone has their own expertise, and the Beasts Pirates are full of talented individuals.

Even if Quinn and Judge can't handle it, there's still that genius scientist Vegapunk who's 500 years ahead of the world, right?

Sooner or later, he will get that old man's.

At that time, these lunar technology blueprints will serve as a nice "greeting gift".

With their business concluded, Kane and his group quickly returned to Angel Island, carrying a wooden crate full of blueprints.

There, Connie, her father Pagaia, and many anxious sky island residents had already gathered and were waiting.

Kane also spotted a familiar figure in the crowd—a knight riding a pink-spotted Pegasus, who stood in front of the residents, scrutinizing Kane and his party with wary eyes.

When the Sky Island inhabitants saw that Enel, who was usually so unruly, was now obediently following Kane's side, looking just like a subordinate, everyone was stunned and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

"Lord Kane, this...this..."

Pagaya was so nervous he couldn't speak.

"Don't worry, Enel has decided to come with me to Qinghai. You can elect a new 'god' yourselves."

Kane pointed at the knight: "I think he's quite good."

The knight was taken aback, and subconsciously pushed aside his visor, revealing a weathered but determined old face: "You know me?"

This person is none other than Gan Fall, the former ruler of Skypiea before Enel.

Since being defeated by Enel, he has secretly protected the people of Sky Island as the "Sky Knight".

Incidentally, the pink-spotted Pegasus he rode was actually a Skypiea bird unique to Skypiea. It became a flying horse after eating the Horse-Horse Fruit, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

Strong, the mount of Doc Q under the Blackbeard Pirates, is actually a Zoan-type Horse-Horse Fruit Mythical Zoan Pegasus.

"Who knows?"

Kane shrugged, his tone casual, as if it were just a casual remark.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something important, he added, "Oh, right. When you regain control of Sky Island, remember to return Shandora to the Shandians, especially that golden bell."

"This is a debt that you Sky Island people have owed for four hundred years, and it's time to pay it back."

Upon hearing this, Gan Fall remained silent for a few seconds, a complex expression flashing across his face, before finally nodding solemnly: "I understand. I will do my best to make this happen. Our war with the Shandians should never have occurred."

In fact, during his previous term in office, he had considered talking with the Shandians.

However, the hatred that has lasted for four centuries, the blood debts and estrangement accumulated between the two sides are too deep, and the obstacles to peace talks come from all sides.

Not only within the Sky Island, but also within the Shandians themselves, there are strong voices advocating war.

Now, with the intervention and mediation of this powerful outsider, perhaps this is the opportunity to break the deadlock and achieve reconciliation?

Enel, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, let out a disdainful sneer: "Boring kindness."

Kane didn't directly refute his sarcasm, but instead turned his gaze to him, his tone full of pity: "It seems your childhood... probably wasn't very pleasant."

Enel's pupils suddenly contracted, and his body stiffened for a moment.

He instinctively turned his head away, avoiding Kane's gaze, neither refuting nor admitting anything.

If it were up to his usual temperament, anyone who dared to pry into the heart of a god or mention the past would not escape being blasted to dust by a pillar of lightning.

But there was nothing he could do; he couldn't beat Kane, so he could only choose to escape through silence.

Seeing this, Kane understood and did not ask any further questions.

It's nothing more than bullying.

Alas, an unhappy childhood often requires a lifetime to heal.

At this moment, Violet quietly approached Kane and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I just secretly used my ability to read his mind... He was bullied badly by his peers when he was a child because he didn't have wings."

No wonder he chose to erase his entire homeland from the map after gaining devastating power.

For Enel, that land probably left him with only endless darkness and painful memories.

Destroying it might be the only way he could think of to break with the past.

Kane sighed softly, then his expression turned serious, and he whispered to Violet, "Don't mention this to anyone else. Also, remember, don't use your mind-reading ability on your companions without permission."

Violet nodded obediently: "Yes, I understand, it won't happen again. I was just... a little worried that he might harm all of us."

"Once you're on board, you're partners. I'll protect you."

Kane's tone softened, and he didn't blame her too much.

Violet's concerns are essentially rooted in the safety of the team. Given that Enel has not yet established trust with everyone, her caution is understandable.

While the two were having a secret conversation, Enel, who was not far away, paused almost imperceptibly.

He glanced quickly in Kane's direction with a complicated expression, but then his gaze was replaced by a cold indifference, as if nothing had happened.

After bidding farewell to Conis, Kane and his group returned to the Rayquaza.

Unfortunately, the special shellfish of the Sky Island can only reproduce and grow on the Sky Island itself; otherwise, Kane would really like to collect some and have the Tontatta tribe try breeding them.

Some shellfish are actually quite useful.

Just as Kane was preparing to leave the White Sea with the Rayquaza and head directly to the ocean below, a phone call came in.

"Kane, I have some news that you'll definitely find interesting."

Chapter 152 The Giant is Captured, Water Seven

On the other end of the phone was Morgans, the president of World Economic News Agency, known as "Big News".

This news king, who always seemed to thrive on chaos on the high seas, now spoke with barely concealed excitement and a hint of probing: "The two captains of the Giant Pirates, Dorry and Brogy, are your friends, aren't they?"

Kane's eyes narrowed slightly, but his calm smile remained: "I suppose so. We've been to banquets together. What, do you have news of them?"

Morgans was not surprised that he knew about his relationship with the giants.

When he held the banquet in the small garden, he never intended to hide it from anyone. Besides, with such a large target as the giant, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

Messenger seagulls fly overhead, and you can see them clearly with just a glance.

Hearing Kane's almost tacit agreement, Morgans' laughter grew even louder: "Then do you know that they were captured by the Navy yesterday?"

how come?

A hint of surprise flashed through Kane's mind.

Although Dorry and Brogy have declined in strength over the past century, they are not people who can be defeated by anyone.

In addition, their purpose for this trip was to go to Enies Lobby and take away the other two giants, Cassie and Oimo, who were originally serving as gatekeepers there.

The navy would need to deploy at least two or three vice admirals from headquarters to secure a victory, and they would need to be military vice admirals.

"what happened?"

Kane's voice was calm, revealing little emotion. "Is there some unexpected and powerful figure who just happened to appear near Enies Lobby?"

Upon hearing this, Morgans on the other end of the Den Den Mushi felt much more at ease.

As expected, Kane's relationship with Dorry and Brogy was not as simple as he made it out to be.

He even knew that the Giants' target for this operation was Enies Lobby.

"Dongli and Brogy's initial operation went very smoothly."

Morgans recalled the intelligence he had obtained, his tone tinged with a hint of excitement: "They not only took away two giants who were originally guarding Enies Lobby, but also wreaked havoc on the island before leaving triumphantly. Enies Lobby's own defenses were simply no match for them!"

Then, he changed the subject, his tone filled with schadenfreude: "But their luck was just too bad! On their way back, they just happened to run into Aokiji, who came to intercept them."

It turned out to be the case.

Kane suddenly realized.

Encountering a blue pheasant on the high seas is like having nowhere to run or escape; even running away becomes a pipe dream.

He wasn't particularly surprised by this. Whether on leave or on mission, a naval admiral is always at sea, so if you run into one, you can only accept your bad luck.

However, he had to get involved in this matter.

Who told him to be "a good friend of the giants"?

"Have they already been taken to Impel Down?"

Kane went straight to the question that concerned him most.

At this moment, his biggest worry was that the World Government would be enraged by the chaos at Enies Lobby and issue a death sentence to Dorry and his group.

Although the Titan has Elbaf as a powerful backer, this possibility is unlikely, but what if it is?

Fortunately, Morgans' answer relieved him somewhat.

"According to the route intelligence I obtained, the warships imprisoning the giants are indeed heading towards Impel Down."

Then, Morgans' voice suddenly lowered, taking on a sneaky and inflammatory tone, revealing his true intentions: "Kane, you wouldn't be planning to attack Impel Down, would you?!"
