One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

Kane put down the Den Den Mushi he was talking to the Five Elders on, and without any pause, immediately and skillfully dialed another number.

“Bru bru bru…”

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

A muffled, heavily intoxicated roar came from the other end: "Ugh...who the hell...dared to interrupt my drinking?!"

Kane's forehead instantly creased with a few black lines; even through the Den Den Mushi, he could almost smell the overwhelming stench of alcohol.

Look how dedicated those five veteran stars are!

The call goes through immediately.

As expected, the future of the Beasts Pirates still depends on hardworking and outstanding individuals like him!

Shaking off the thoughts of complaining, Kane smirked: "Teacher Kane! Stop drinking, the big job is here!"

He quickly recounted the details of the transaction to Kaido.

It's obvious even to a fool that the Five Elders would never obediently complete the transaction.

That's why he insisted on limiting the time to five days.

According to the latest intelligence provided by Morgans, the warships escorting Dorry and his men have not yet arrived at Impel Down. The fastest time it would take to turn back to this area would be about five days.

Five days is simply not enough time for the Marine Headquarters to send people (except for Kizaru), let alone the Knights of God stationed on the Red Line.

However, just in case, we still need to call for help.

"Hurrah... Well done, Kane!"

Upon hearing that Kane had obtained information on artificial Devil Fruits, Kaido grinned.

His previously drunken eyes instantly became clear and excited.

"I'm off with Judge right now!"

After receiving the coordinates of the trading island from Kane, Kaido hung up the phone without hesitation.

Jin, who had been listening quietly the whole time, also had astonishment in his eyes behind his mask.

He never imagined that Kane's trip would bring such great benefits to the Beasts!

Without the slightest hesitation, King stood up abruptly and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Kaido, please allow me to go with you."

With him and Mr. Kaido joining forces, even if the Marine Headquarters mobilizes its entire force, they will be able to handle the situation and ensure the deal goes smoothly.

"Hmm... let's do it this way!" Kaido waved his hand and immediately made the decision.

After entrusting the daily affairs of Ghost Island to Quinn, who remained behind, he directly revealed the enormous form of a blue dragon in the room.

With a sudden swing of its enormous dragon head, it smashed a huge hole in the room and flew straight out.

Jhin transforms into a pterosaur and follows closely behind.

After taking Judge with them, the three quickly disappeared into the horizon.

Naval Headquarters, Marineford, Admiral's Office.

"Wh...what?!"

Sengoku's hand holding the Den Den Mushi trembled violently, and his calm and composed expression froze instantly, replaced by extreme shock and disbelief.

Sakazuki... Kuzan... five lieutenant generals... the entire army wiped out?!

Is this fake news? This must be fake news!

How could he believe that the meticulously planned naval operation, led by two admirals, would end in such a disastrous defeat?!

But reason told him that the important person on the other end of the phone would never play games with him on something like this.

"Hmph! All of this is because of the Navy's incompetence!"

Satan Saint's icy voice came through the Den Den Mushi, mercilessly venting all his responsibility and anger on Sengoku.

For a full ten minutes, the admiral could only stand at attention, silently enduring the stern rebuke from the highest authority in the world government.

There's nothing we can do; the Navy's funding is controlled by the Five Elders.

After Satan had vented his anger caused by Kane, his voice regained its superior calm as he conveyed the World Government's final decision.

"Let Borsalino handle the handover... I understand."

Sengoku solemnly accepted the order and then reported an unexpected piece of good news to the Five Elders—the Navy had another force that happened to be near Water Seven.

The Grand Line, a certain sea area.

Four massive naval warships were cutting through the waves, heading towards Impel Down, located in the Calm Belt.

On the deck of each warship, a massive figure, as large as a small mountain, was imprisoned—the four captured giant warriors.

“Bru bru bru…”

Fleet Commander, Vice Admiral Red King's Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.

He answered the call quickly, and a moment later, a look of extreme astonishment appeared on his face.

"Yes, Marshal Sengoku!"

Without any hesitation, Red King immediately relayed the latest orders to all ships: "Mission changed. The escort of Impel Down is cancelled. The entire fleet must turn around immediately and proceed to the target island at full speed!"

Four warships drew huge arcs on the sea, changing their original destination and heading towards the transaction point, with their engines at full speed.

Dongli felt a strange sensation as he sensed a significant change in the course of the warship beneath him.

Why the sudden change of direction? Are we not going to Impel Down anymore?

He didn't think much of it; perhaps the navy was too lazy to detain them and wanted to execute them directly.

Thinking of this, Dongli suddenly felt a pang of regret; he should have had a good drink before he died.

"Hey, long-necked guy, can you get me and my brothers some drinks?" Dongli called out without any hesitation.

His loud voice quickly reached the ears of the other three giants.

Broki, Kashi, and Oimo also raised their voices, and the four warships were immediately filled with the giants' clamor of "We want to drink!" as if they were not criminals to be slaughtered, but guests attending a banquet.

"Damn it! You should address Lieutenant General Red King! Use honorifics!"

A naval soldier, his face flushed with rage, waved his fist and shouted, "What right do you heinous criminals have to make demands? You want to drink? Do you want to drink my foot bath water or not?!"

"Hehehe... Don't be so stingy, Navy buddy. We're all going to die anyway, how about granting us this little wish of drinking?"

Dongli laughed heartily, his massive body rattling the chains, his face showing no fear of impending death.

Death is the inevitable end for a warrior, but the real regret is having no wine to drink before departing.

"You all better bear with it."

Knowing the inside story, Red King turned around and scolded him in an annoyed manner.

He naturally wouldn't tell these giants their true whereabouts, letting them slowly endure the next few days in anxiety about their impending execution.

Otherwise, it would be too easy on them.

Red King never expected that after causing chaos on Enies Lobby, these giants would one day regain their freedom.

An unnamed island.

This deserted island, barely visible on any map, was chosen by Kane as the location for a deal with the World Government.

At this moment, all the naval prisoners, including two admirals and five vice admirals, were transferred to this island and placed under Kane's personal guard.

"You guys go first."

Kane looked at his companions, his tone leaving no room for doubt: "Only after you've left safely can I truly unleash my full power."

Making a deal with the World Government would actually make Rayquaza's existence a hindrance.

He and Kaido are highly mobile, and if the situation changes, only Borsalino can hit them, but he can't do much on his own.

“Kane! I want to stay with you!” Yamato immediately raised his hand.

"Forgive me, Yamato, next time." Kane smiled, stretched out his hand, and tapped Yamato's smooth forehead with his index and middle fingers together.

"That damn Kane!" Yamato huffed and puffed, hands on his hips, but he still obediently stopped insisting.

Kane turned his gaze to Big Bear: "I'm counting on you from now on."

If the Reckoning Ship wants to return to Wano Country quickly without being intercepted by the Navy, it can only rely on Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit.

"Understood. Leave it to me." Big Bear nodded.

After leaving enough food and fresh water for Kane to last for several days, the group boarded the Rayquaza again.

The bear walked to the side of the huge ship, raised its hand, and swung it forward with a sudden motion!

Pop!

A huge, transparent spherical bubble appeared and instantly enveloped the entire Sky Pivot.

Immediately afterwards, the massive pirate ship slowly detached from the sea surface, as if it had lost its weight, and turned into a blurry afterimage, speeding towards Wano Country before disappearing into the horizon in a short time.

Then, the bear patted itself.

Following the same process, Kuma flew to Wano Country, following the trajectory of the Rayquaza.

Five days later.

On the deserted island, the sea breeze carries a salty, fishy smell.

Kane sat cross-legged on the beach, in front of him on a makeshift grill made of branches, on which a rather large sea creature was skewered and slowly turned over the golden flames.

As the oil drips into the fire, it sizzles enticingly, and the rich aroma of meat wafts through the air.

Directly opposite the grill was a group of naval prisoners, bound by sea stone chains, who looked somewhat listless.

Having not eaten for several days, even these physically strong naval elites were inevitably hungry. Some lower-ranking soldiers could even clearly hear the rumbling of their stomachs.

As prisoners of war, they naturally had no right to food.

They could only watch helplessly, enduring the dual torment of smell and sight.

"It's cooked to perfection, and it smells amazing."

Kane skillfully sprinkled on the special spices, his nostrils twitching slightly as he nodded in satisfaction.

His grilling skills have improved significantly in the past few days.
