One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

BOOM—!!

A muffled thud, as if the sky itself had been shattered!

Sakazuki blasted a huge hole in the sky that had been covered by dark clouds.

A brilliant ray of sunlight shone straight down through the hole, casting a shimmering patch of light on the sea surface.

"Wow! As expected of the Magma-Magma Fruit, which is known for its top-tier destructive power among Logia-type fruits. The impact is even more terrifying than a real volcanic eruption."

Kane stroked his chin, his tone slightly teasing, but his eyes became more serious.

He wasn't particularly surprised by this.

Leaving aside the world's top powerhouses' formidable display of "sky-splitting" power, in nature alone, a violent volcanic eruption can eject volcanic ash tens of thousands of meters into the air, temporarily altering the local climate.

Sakazuki's punch was simply a more concentrated and domineering display of his destructive power.

Enel's expression turned serious.

This is the second time!

This was the second time he had witnessed someone so easily dismantle his proud "divine punishment."

Are top experts here really as numerous as carp crossing a river, and can be found everywhere?

An unprecedented pressure quietly crept into his heart.

After exchanging greetings, Kane did not make any further moves. Instead, he stood calmly with his hands at his sides, allowing the naval warship to approach and eventually stop nearby, forming a standoff with the Rayleigh.

"Hey, old friend, long time no see. You're making such a big fuss right off the bat. Aren't you going to give me an explanation first?"

Kane flashed a bright, almost harmless smile and waved enthusiastically at the CP0 agent in the clown mask at the bow of the warship.

It was as if that bolt of lightning had just been a casual greeting.

This clown is indeed an "old acquaintance" of CP0—after Kane took control of Wano Country, the first "big deal" with the World Government was reached with the CP team led by this agent.

Faced with Kane's nonchalant greeting, the Joker's CP0 eyes twitched.

"Who said we're old friends? I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense."

Believe it or not, I'll sue you for defamation!

He's slandering me!

With the World Government in a state of fury, how could the Joker CP0 dare to associate with Kane?

Even if his research is suspected of being lacking for a hundred years, he'll still be implicated...

The Joker CP0 shuddered and dared not think any further.

Fearing Kane might utter something even more shocking, he hurriedly said in a stiff tone, "Calamity Kane! You and your crew have violated the three unforgivable sins by researching the forbidden 'Void Century' of history! By order of the World Government, you and all members of your ship are hereby arrested immediately and—executed on the spot!"

"In your next life, remember to learn to follow the rules!"

"Oh? You won't even give me a chance to go to Impel Down?"

Kane raised an eyebrow.

According to the World Government's usual practice, a Devil Fruit user as powerful as him should definitely be chained with Seastone shackles and imprisoned in the sixth level of Impel Down, the Infinite Hell, for the rest of his life.

Is she afraid that Teacher Kai might act impulsively and try to save her?

Thinking about it carefully, this does indeed fit Teacher Kai's style.

Behind him, Robin, who had been full of fighting spirit, suddenly froze.

Did the World Government really break ties with Kane because of the Void Century?

Yes……

The scholars of Ohara were subjected to the devastating Buster Call simply for studying ancient scripts.

Today, they have collected a complete historical inscription stone tablet.

A huge wave of guilt and self-blame washed over Robin, almost suffocating her.

It's all my fault...

If it weren't for fulfilling my desire to study history, Kane wouldn't have needed to take me to Alabasta or to see that Poneglyph...

He clearly already knew what was written there...

"Hey, Robin, what's wrong? Cheer up!"

Yamato noticed Robin's unusual behavior, patted her shoulder casually, and said confidently, "Don't worry, I'm here. I'll definitely protect you and everyone else!"

Robin's body trembled slightly as she turned her head to meet Yamato's eyes, which were devoid of any gloom and filled with seriousness and determination. An indescribable warmth instantly dispelled the coldness and gloom in her heart.

She truly found a group of partners who would never abandon her.

"Thank you, Yamato. I'll do my best too!" Robin nodded solemnly, her eyes regaining their resolve.

Now that things have come to this, there's no point in dwelling on the past. The only thing we can do now is to fight alongside our comrades and face this together!

"Then I'll leave it to you, Yamato!"

Violet hugged Yamato's waist and said with a smile.

She's an office worker, not suited for combat.

"Hehe, leave it to me!" Yamato patted his chest and assured him.

As the atmosphere at the rear shifted from gloomy to sunny, the standoff at the front was about to erupt.

On the naval warship, the sailors who were originally in the cabins also came out and stood behind the two admirals.

There were five people in total, three men and two women.

One was a sword-wielding man with four X-shaped scars, a curly beard, and shoulder-length brown hair.

Vice Admiral Doberman of the Navy Headquarters!

One was a man wearing a helmet engraved with a double-headed dragon pattern, with a fierce expression, holding a sword in both hands, and each of his spider-like hairs behind him also holding a sword.

Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral – Onigumo!

One was a swordsman with a beard reaching his waist, an unusually long skull, wielding two swords, and a cold gaze.

Vice Admiral Strawberry of the Navy Headquarters!

One is a beautiful female swordsman with long black hair, wearing a pink sleeveless top and super short hot pants, showing off her hot figure and long, fair legs.

Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Admiral Candidate—Gion!

The last one was a woman with black hair and blue eyes, wearing a dark short-sleeved shirt and leather pants, with a sharp metal choker around her neck, exuding a cold and aloof aura.

Vice Admiral Dol! (Naval Headquarters)

"Two admirals, plus CP0, and five vice admirals from headquarters... tsk tsk, should I say you're making a mountain out of a molehill, or are you overestimating me, Kai?"

Kane glanced at the impressive execution lineup, rubbed his chin, and grinned.

"Hmph! To completely eradicate the evil that threatens the world, we are willing to go to great lengths, even if it means going too far!" Sakazuki said coldly.

"Then there's nothing to discuss."

Kane shrugged helplessly, his smile instantly vanishing.

He said no more, and simply waved to the sky once more.

"Meteor shower!"

What is that?!

Those who can stand on this warship are all top-notch masters who have experienced countless battles and are proficient in domineering aura.

Almost the instant Kane waved his hand, they all felt a sense of alarm and abruptly looked up at the sky!

"How is this possible?!" Lieutenant General Dole exclaimed in shock, her pupils already filled with a burning crimson!

The thick, lead-gray clouds suddenly turned fiery red, like an oil slick that had been set ablaze!

The next second, countless huge meteorites, burning with raging flames, like a world-destroying rain of fire that had broken free from its restraints, began to pierce through the clouds and crash down into the sea below!

They varied in size, the smallest being as big as a house, while the largest... was as big as a small mountain! Trailing long, scorching tails of flame, they covered the entire sky and sea with a destructive and overwhelming momentum!

Once these meteorites hit, let alone the small warship beneath their feet, even a fortress of Marineford's caliber would likely be reduced to scorched ruins in an instant!

Is this the true value of calling it a natural disaster?

Chapter 156 The Battle of the Comrades

Faced with this scene that seemed like the end of the world, even with Sakazuki's fierceness and confidence, he couldn't help but look solemn and his pupils contracted slightly.

"Meteor Volcano!"

With a sudden roar, his burly body rose abruptly from the ground, actually taking the initiative to meet the falling meteorites!

His fists lashed out at the fiery sky with incredible speed, almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

With each punch, an enormous fist made of scorching, viscous lava detached from his arm, like a volcanic bomb flying backwards, carrying the will to incinerate everything, and slammed with perfect precision into the whistling meteorites!

Boom—!!! Boom—!!! Boom—!!!

The deafening explosions instantly merged into one, as if hundreds of giant cannons were roaring simultaneously in the clouds.

Dark red lava and crimson meteorite collided, squeezed, and finally exploded in mid-air!

Each explosion unleashes a scorching and violent shockwave!

In the clash of extreme forces, lava and meteorite exploded together into countless fragments of varying sizes, like a grand yet deathly rain of fireworks.

These fragments, containing terrifyingly high temperatures, fell like hailstones, crashing into the sea below.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

The sea surface was smashed into countless huge craters, and towering columns of water mixed with steam and debris shot up.

The once calm and azure sea now resembled a giant cauldron being scorched on a raging fire, with the seawater violently churning and boiling, emitting terrifying "glug-glug" sounds, and large areas of the sea being dyed crimson by lava and meteorites!

Countless marine creatures, unfortunate enough to be swept into this deadly sea, were instantly boiled alive by the extreme heat before they could even struggle, floating to the surface belly up.

Strangely, a peculiar "fragrance" of grilled seafood filled the air...

"How terrifying!" Chopper and Bonnie huddled together, trembling.
