One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

He made this phone call, going through all that trouble, just to say this!

He knew all too well the importance of the giants' friendship to an ambitious pirate.

That was one of the strongest aids to the throne of maritime supremacy!

If Kane is bold enough, attacking Impel Down is definitely not just empty talk.

As if afraid that Kane would hesitate or back down, Morgans began to subtly fan the flames, and his tone became alarmist: "The fall of Enies Lobby to the Titans has made the World Government lose face."

"In an effort to suppress public opinion, the world government has been calling me directly."

"Having angered the World Government to this extent, they're going to have a tough time in Impel Down. They won't even know when they'll die."

"I've heard that there's a deputy warden in Impel Down who enjoys killing prisoners, named Shiryu of the Rain. He's incredibly ruthless!"

Kane's face darkened, and he interrupted Morgans's embellished and alarmist ramblings: "That's enough."

His tone was decisive, with an unquestionable resolve: "Find out for me the exact route of the warships escorting Dongli and the others, and their estimated arrival time at Impel Down."

While Morgans's statement may be exaggerated, the risks do exist.

He had to save Dongli and the others!

Whether it's out of self-interest or personal feelings.

"Good Le!"

Morgans was so excited that his voice changed, and he even gave up his payment, willingly bringing his own food to help out.

Big news, here I come!

Kane hung up the Den Den Mushi, let out a soft breath, and a hint of helplessness flashed across his brow.

Plans can never keep up with changes.

He needs to speed up his actions.

Without lingering, Kane led the Rayquaza to the edge of the White Sea, descended, and finally landed steadily back on the surface of the sea, stirring up layers of waves.

"Kane, are we going straight to Impel Down to rescue them?"

Robin spoke first, asking the question.

Even as she was about to face the World Government, which had loomed over her like a shadow since childhood, her face showed no fear, only calmness and determination.

Because she knew that she had found a group of partners she could completely trust, partners she could entrust with her life and death, and partners she could fight alongside.

Walpole, standing to the side, was so shocked by this bold suggestion that he was speechless.

"You, you, you all... you want to attack, attack, attack Impel Down?!"

His voice trembled as he tried to awaken these "madmen" with the harsh reality: "That's the world's number one prison! It's impregnable, supposedly impossible to breach!"

"Leaving aside whether we can even break through, just having this idea and putting it into action is enough to invite a merciless and devastating attack from the World Government!"

He became increasingly agitated as he spoke, gesturing wildly as he emphasized, "What's more, it's so close to the Navy Headquarters. It won't be long before a Navy Admiral's reinforcements arrive! We'll be completely surrounded and wiped out! This is practically suicide!"

No matter how earnestly he tried to persuade them, the other crew members on the ship showed no fear whatsoever.

Oh, Enel has no idea how powerful the World Government is; he lacks any concept of it.

He was picking his ear out of sheer boredom.

However, even if he knew, given his arrogant personality, he probably wouldn't care.

"So what? Just a mere admiral. Who do you think we are?" Yamato tilted his head, nonchalant, even somewhat eager to try.

“I support you,” Big Bear replied succinctly.

"Ha, perfect. I'd like to test my skills against the best swordsmen in the Navy and see what they're made of." Zoro adjusted the hilt of his sword, his eyes burning with intense fighting spirit.

"I wonder if I'll run into the old man?" Ace raised his index finger, and an orange flame danced merrily as he grinned.

"With me as your doctor, as long as you have a breath left, I can snatch you back from the clutches of death." Kureha calmly took a sip of plum wine.

"The district, the district world government..."

Even Chopper, who had only recently boarded the ship and was the most timid, was so frightened that his teeth were chattering and his little hooves were trembling slightly, but he didn't say anything to object. He just tried to cheer himself up and overcome his fear.

"You're all insane... insane! You're all lunatics!!"

Wahlbo broke down, crouching in a corner of the deck, burying his head in his hands, and becoming withdrawn.

You guys are crazy, that's fine, but don't drag me into it.

He originally thought that even if he was arrested, he could still survive by relying on his own abilities and working hard.

Now it seems unlikely.

Kane's gaze swept over each of his companions, taking in their varied yet resolute reactions, and he nodded.

The morale of the troops is high.

It wasn't a waste of effort to recruit these partners.

However, before going to Impel Down, he needed to go to one more place.

A day later, the outline of a uniquely shaped island gradually became clear on the horizon.

It was a city that resembled a giant fountain, with seven wide artificial waterways radiating out from the center of the island like blooming petals, flowing endlessly into the surrounding sea.

This is also the origin of the island's name—the City of Seven Waters.

This is a world-renowned shipbuilding mecca, boasting top-notch shipwrights and a long-standing tradition of craftsmanship. They even built ships for the Pirate King Roger.

Enel stood at the bow of the ship, gazing at the distant island, lost in thought.

Are these the islands of Qinghai?

It's definitely different from Skypiea.

“Isn’t it spectacular?” Kane’s gentle voice sounded beside him.

Enel nodded subconsciously, then immediately realized that this reaction was inconsistent with his "god" persona, and somewhat embarrassedly forced himself to look away.

He gave a mock arrogant snort: "Hmph, it's barely passable. It's far inferior to the island of gods where I reside."

Kane didn't expose his awkward little thoughts, but just smiled knowingly.

He then called Enel and Violet to his side.

Kane pointed to the city with its network of waterways ahead, his tone becoming serious: "I need the two of you to go and retrieve something for me."

The World Government is extremely persistent about the whereabouts of the blueprints for the ancient weapon "Pluto".

Even Rob Lucci, hailed as the strongest member of CP9 in 800 years, was sent to Water Seven to lie low for five years.

In the original storyline, if it weren't for Luffy and his crew's intervention, these agents would probably have continued to remain undercover.

That's why Kane absolutely cannot go looking for the blueprints himself; his target is far too big.

If it were to appear before Asbaghu, it would inevitably raise serious concerns among CP9 and even the World Government, alerting the enemy.

However, his decision not to visit Water Seven, which is inconsistent with his usual pattern of traveling and "sightseeing" throughout the journey, seems rather unusual.

Therefore, sending out Enel, a complete stranger, is the best option.

Bringing Violet along was for efficiency reasons.

It's almost impossible to force Asbagu to submit through violence, and Kane doesn't have that much time to maneuver.

If CP9 agents detect anything amiss, the entire operation will be ruined.

At this point, Violet's abilities become crucial.

Her mind-reading ability is almost unstoppable at first sight, since no one would specifically guard against this move.

"What is it?" Violet asked curiously.

"The blueprints for Hades." Kane smiled slightly, dropping a bombshell.

"What?! Hades?!" Violet's beautiful eyes widened instantly, incredulous.

Having sailed for some time, she was well aware of the terrifying power and strategic significance represented by the ancient weapon "Pluto".

But how could the design blueprints for something so important be located on this small island in front of us?

"If the intelligence is correct, the blueprints should be in the hands of Aspargu, the mayor of Water Seven."

Kane confirmed, while solemnly reminding him, "Be very careful, there are likely several CP9 agents lurking around him. For example, a boatman who keeps white pigeons, a secretary who likes to wear fishnet stockings..."

He completely revealed the main characteristics of Rob Lucci and his gang.

Violet carefully memorized this information, without the slightest doubt about the accuracy of Kane's intelligence.

After all, her captain always seemed to know some incredible secrets.

They know the whereabouts of the Hades blueprints perfectly well, so what does recognizing a few CP9 agents matter?

Kane then handed over two inconspicuous gray cloaks and faceless masks: "Put these on, don't reveal your identity, and don't let those agents spot you."

Enel instinctively showed resistance: "Hmph! Why should gods conceal their appearance when they act!"

Kane glanced at him indifferently: "You'll have your day when you're famous all over the sea. Now, carry out orders. Don't force me to use the captain's 'authority'."

"...Just this once!"

Enel's eyes twitched a few times. After struggling internally for a moment, he finally grabbed the cloak and mask with resentment.

The two left the Liekong Seat quietly.

In the afternoon, the Sky Piercer slowly entered the port of Water City.

Kane's arrival instantly shook the entire island.

"The Beasts Pirates are here!"

The port area was immediately thrown into an uproar, with fearful and curious eyes turning to the giant ship.

A square-nosed boatman working at the port looked up abruptly at the sound, and his pupils contracted sharply when his gaze fell on the man standing at the bow of the boat.

Just then, a gaze fell upon him.

The boatman with the square nose was startled and hurriedly lowered his head. The hammer in his hand fell onto the wooden plank with a "clatter," and he frantically picked it up again.

He tried to hammer the nail into the wood, but because his fingers trembled uncontrollably, he hit empty air several times in a row, looking exactly like an ordinary worker who had been terrified by the fearsome reputation of the Beasts Pirates.

However, his heart was already in turmoil.
