One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

boom!

The fierce slash was forcefully knocked away and vanished without a trace.

"What do you intend to do to my daughter?!"

The bear slowly raised its head, its gloomy face revealing an almost tangible rage that Violet had never seen before.

He had been searching the battlefield for the CP0's whereabouts.

To everyone's surprise, the other party was so unethical, taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Liekong's mount.

Thank goodness...

If Bonnie were to get into trouble, he would probably spend the rest of his life in endless self-blame and pain.

"Bartholomew the Bear..."

Joker CP0 narrowed his eyes and pronounced the name slowly and deliberately, his voice filled with chilling killing intent.

“From the moment you dared to oppose the World Government, you should have known this day would come.”

Before he finished speaking, he thrust out with both hands, his ten fingers becoming afterimages!

"Flying Finger Gun - Random Shots!"

Countless air bullets, powerful enough to pierce steel plates, rained down on the bear like a storm.

The bear remained as steady as a mountain, striking out with both paws in rapid succession.

The air was compressed to the extreme under his palm, turning into transparent bear paw bubbles that whistled towards the barrage of bullets.

Bang Bang Bang!

The bubbles collided violently with the air bombs in mid-air, exploding with a series of loud bangs.

Just as the battle reached a stalemate, a leisurely voice drifted over as the ship gently rocked:

"Hey, it's quite lively over here. Big Bear, need a hand?"

Kane, you're back!

Violet was overjoyed, and her tense nerves immediately relaxed.

If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, she would have excitedly thrown herself into Kane's arms.

"Brother Kane!"

Bonnie shouted excitedly, then angrily pointed at the white figure and complained, "It's him! He beat Chopper up like this!"

Oh? Bonney's Year-Year Fruit ability has awakened?

Kane flashed to Bonnie and the others' side and said in a calm tone, "Don't worry, now that I'm here, he won't be able to hurt you."

Kane's sudden appearance, especially the arrogant prisoner in his hands, shocked the Joker and CP0.

"Sakazuki... he actually lost?!"

how can that be!

How much time has passed since the battle began? Half an hour? An hour?

"It's his own fault for underestimating his opponent."

Kane shrugged indifferently.

Fortunately, this time it was Sakazuki who prefers head-on confrontations; if it had been a slippery opponent like Borsalino...

Even with the trump card of Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, it will probably take quite a bit of effort.

While CP0 was still analyzing the impact of Sakazuki's defeat, Kuma couldn't hold back any longer.

He didn't bother with any combat etiquette and slammed his huge hand on himself.

With a strange sound, his massive body suddenly appeared behind the Joker CP0 as if by teleportation.

"Oops!"

The Joker CP0 was startled and was about to turn around and retaliate.

boom!!!

A terrifying pressure, almost tangible, erupted from Kane's body, and black and red domineering lightning shot into the sky!

The violent aura caused the entire ship to groan, and the deck, hull, and cabins began to break and crack to varying degrees.

The Joker, CP0, who was the first to be hit, suddenly felt his mind go blank.

His body trembled involuntarily, and the hand with the fleshy ball reflected in his pupils was rapidly enlarging.

"Bear Paw Impact!"

Accompanied by the emotionless, indifferent voice of the bear, a massive shockwave was released close to the Joker CP0's body.

"Iron block!"

At the critical moment of life and death, the Joker CP0 barely mustered a sliver of willpower and mobilized all his muscles to withstand the attack.

"Waaah—"

Blood gushed out from the gaps in the mask, forming a cloud of blood mist.

The white suit was instantly shattered into pieces, and the Joker CP0 was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the mast before sliding softly to the ground, his breath so faint as to be almost imperceptible.

The fact that he didn't die on the spot from the bear's furious attack shows that his years of physical training hadn't been in vain.

This level of Conqueror's Haki!

Sakazuki looked at Kane with some disbelief.

Because of the unique nature of Conqueror's Haki, it is, to some extent, the most direct manifestation of the user's own spirit and strength!

Such a scale and such quality of Conqueror's Haki... He had only ever experienced it on Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp!

No, even they are slightly inferior.

After all, one is the sun at eight or nine in the morning, and the other is the setting sun about to disappear into the west.

"With your strength, why would you willingly serve under Kaido?"

Sakazuki asked in a deep voice, his tone filled with deep confusion.

He did not believe that Kane was willing to be driven by Kaido because of Yamato's existence.

The reason is simple: a man who is obsessed with beauty and willing to submit cannot cultivate this kind of domineering aura.

Kane merely glanced at him indifferently, his expression calm and unchanging, showing no intention of replying.

He had no obligation to answer a prisoner's questions.

On the other side, Big Bear slowly withdrew his palm, exhaled a long breath, and the tension brought about by the battle dissipated.

"Dad! You're amazing! You won!"

Seeing her father win, Bonnie cheered immediately, like a happy little bird, and leaped into the big bear's broad and warm embrace.

However, faced with his daughter's enthusiastic hug, Da Xiong seemed a little at a loss, his honest face full of embarrassment.

"Uh... Bonnie." He stammered, his hands hovering awkwardly in mid-air, "Could you... could you change back first?"

Looking at his daughter, who had suddenly become mature and graceful in his arms, Da Xiong felt his mind go blank and was about to break out in a cold sweat.

Does this mean... we should start explaining puberty to Bonnie now?!

I don't want that kind of thing!

I haven't spent enough time with her yet, and haven't been able to fully enjoy her childhood.

Fortunately, perhaps because the enemy had fallen and she no longer needed to maintain her adult form for a sense of security, Bonnie's body began to shrink not long after.

She quickly transformed back into that familiar pink-haired little girl.

"what?"

Bonnie blinked her big eyes in confusion, looking down at her tiny hands and body. "How did I turn back?"

"Let's discuss these details later."

Kane interrupted the brief interruption with a loud voice, turning his gaze to Big Bear: "Big Bear, you will stay on the Sky Pierce from now on and be responsible for everyone's safety. Also, keep an eye on our prisoners."

Upon hearing the word "prisoner," Sakazuki, who had been left standing to the side, felt a tightness in his chest, and blood uncontrollably trickled from the corner of his mouth once again.

"Huh? Why is he coughing up blood again?" Bonnie tilted her head and asked curiously.

“Don’t worry about him,” Kane replied casually, his tone indifferent. “He’ll probably get used to it after a while.”

"You...!" Sakazuki had never suffered such humiliation before. He was so angry that his vision blurred and he almost spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Don't worry, leave this to me." Big Bear nodded steadily.

While they were talking, the kung fu manatees left on the ship had already bound the clown CP0 tightly with seastone chains.

Because of its incredibly hard properties, Seastone is an excellent material for chains, even if not used by Devil Fruit users.

Having explained everything, Kane didn't linger and turned to face the distant, smoke-filled main battlefield.

It's time to end this war.

The atmosphere on the ship was somewhat eerie.

Because of Kane's instructions before leaving, Violet and Bonnie were sitting on either side of Sakazuki, staring intently at him.

This undisguised gaze, as if observing some rare animal, made Sakazuki, who was used to being respected, feel extremely uncomfortable.

He instinctively wanted to pull his hat brim down to block his view.

Unfortunately, his navy cap had been blown away by the wind during the previous fierce battle.

Helpless, he could only stiffly endure this suffocating "stare".

Bonnie watched for a while, then seemed to have thought of something and broke the silence first: "Hey, Navy uncle, can you tell me how you were defeated by Kane?"

Sakazuki's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and his chest heaved.

Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about?

He gritted his teeth and forced out a few words: "I don't know!"

Bonnie pressed on, "How could I not know? Weren't you captured by Kane himself?"
