One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

He tore off a piece of roasted animal leg, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sizzling with oil, and began to eat it heartily without any hesitation, displaying a hearty and unrestrained eating style.

As he enjoyed his meal, several dark dots gradually became clear on the distant horizon, speeding toward the deserted island.

"Oh, it's finally here."

Kane ate his barbecue while observing the approaching fleet through his binoculars.

"The World Government is indeed dishonest."

He chuckled softly.

Through the telescope's field of view, two people were clearly standing on the bow of the main ship.

One is a man, and the other is also a man.

Okay, one was a middle-aged man in a yellow and white striped suit with a sleazy demeanor, and the other was an old man with gray hair and an unusually burly and robust physique.

The newcomers were none other than "Kizaru" Borsalino and "Iron Fist" Garp.

Seemingly noticing Kane's gaze, the two men on the bow of the ship also looked in his direction at the same time, their eyes meeting silently across the sea.

"Ha, you guys are something else, Navy."

Kane lowered his binoculars, a hint of mockery in his voice, "Under these circumstances, to actually put together such a lineup..."

He showed no sign of nervousness. Instead, he raised his oil-stained hand and waved casually and amicably towards the distant warship.

Their posture made it seem as if they weren't kidnappers and the kidnapped person's family, but rather like a pair of old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.

Chapter 162 The Deal Ends, The Five Elders' Decision

Before long, a massive fleet of more than twenty naval warships, like a moving mountain of steel, slowly approached the nameless island.

Apart from the five warships specifically used to imprison the giants, the rest were all warships under Sakazuki's command when he went on his previous expedition.

They hadn't been of any use in the previous war, and now they were able to join Borsalino and his group.

Before the fleet had fully docked, it had already lined up in a strict formation on the sea.

A dense array of cannon barrels were aimed at the small island, and a chilling atmosphere filled the sea and sky, giving the impression that the island would be completely wiped off the map at the slightest provocation.

On the shore, Borsalino and Cap were the first to step onto the beach, followed by a squad of elite naval soldiers.

They were carrying two rather heavy, tightly sealed metal boxes.

"Long time no see, Mr. Garp and Mr. Borsalino."

Kane stepped forward and greeted him with an incredibly friendly smile: "Have you eaten yet? If you don't mind, I have some freshly grilled meat here, it tastes pretty good."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm currently trying to lose weight~"

Borsalino waved his hand dramatically, then pinched his non-existent belly, looking distressed as if he were experiencing a midlife crisis.

"You know, it's easy to gain weight when you get to middle age. I feel like my attractiveness to beautiful women has decreased a lot."

He then looked at Kane with envy: "Kane, I heard you're very popular with women. Do you have any special secrets? Teach me!"

Kane shrugged. "It's simple. If you like a girl, just ask her out to dinner."

Of course, this technique requires a lot of modeling skills.

Borsalino's gaze swept over Kane's handsome face and tall figure, and he smirked, wisely giving up on learning the technique.

While the two were joking around, Garp stood by with his arms crossed, his face ashen, and remained silent.

Especially after seeing Kuzan, Sakazuki, and several other lieutenant generals, who were heavily bound by seastone chains and looked disheveled, his chest heaved violently, and his overwhelming aura was almost uncontrollable, like a volcano about to erupt.

After a few words of small talk, Borsalino finally got to the point, adjusting his sunglasses: "We've brought the data and the people. Let's exchange them as agreed?"

“No rush.” Kane shook his head, his attitude calm. “Let me first check if my friends are alright.”

"no problem."

Borsalino took out a Den Den Mushi and whispered a few instructions.

Soon, under the escort of Lieutenant General Red, the four giants, bound like dumplings in chains, were slowly led off the warship.

"Kane?"

Dorry spotted Kane standing leisurely on the beach at a glance. His huge face first lit up with joy, then darkened: "You were arrested too?"

What kind of looks are those?

Kane's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, and he said helplessly, "No, quite the opposite. I'm here to take you home."

He turned to Borsalino and said, "Release my friend first."

"No, no, no." Borsalino shook his index finger and said slowly, "There must be rules for an exchange. One hand gives the person, the other gives the goods. That is the foundation of a trustworthy transaction."

The two quickly reached an agreement to exchange a lieutenant general for a giant.

"Good brother! Waaaaah..."

Upon learning that Kane had captured a naval admiral in exchange for them, the four mountain-sized giants cried like children, snot bubbles coming out of their noses.

Kane could only pat this arm and that shoulder to comfort him.

On the other side, the five vice admirals who had been freed from their sea stone shackles felt a burning sensation on their faces, as shame and humiliation almost overwhelmed them.

What should have been a leisurely and effortless operation turned into a rushed and chaotic affair, which was truly embarrassing.

"I'm sorry, it's our incompetence...we failed to live up to headquarters' expectations and were unable to take down Kane and his gang."

As a candidate for general, Gion was the first to lower his head, his voice hoarse.

The four lieutenant generals behind her also bowed deeply, feeling utterly ashamed.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Garp crossed his arms, his voice booming, but his face showed little reproach. "So what if you lost once? What's the big deal? All of you, hold your heads up!"

If he'd act like he was going to die every time he lost, how many times would he die in his life?

“What about the next deal?” Borsalino asked.

The main event this time, the two generals haven't been switched back yet.

"Don't rush." ​​Kane gave a mysterious smile and pointed to the sky obscured by clouds. "The grand finale... isn't it here?"

Before he finished speaking, the thick clouds in the sky were forcibly torn apart like a curtain by a brute force!

A gigantic, ferocious dragon head suddenly emerged, its cold, vertical pupils gazing down at the tiny crowd and ships below.

"Within the mouth."

Borsalino stroked his slightly stubbled chin, his tone still languid, but his eyes sharpened: "Our deal actually attracted the Pirate Emperor himself?"

Kane just smiled and said, "We're all in the same boat."

They're all ancient foxes, why are they playing at Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio?

"Kaido, King, and Vinsmoke Judge."

Borsalino rattled off the names of the men one by one, his expression exaggerated. "They're all big shots who are famous on the high seas. You wouldn't be thinking of using this opportunity to wipe us all out, would you?"

"Hmm, hehehehe...that seems like a good idea."

Kaido grinned menacingly and pulled out his prized spiked club from his cloak.

"Hmph!" Garp clenched his fist, stepped forward, and said coldly, "If you want to fight, I'm ready anytime!"

Oh no, I shouldn't have called Kaido.

Kane sensed something was wrong and quickly shouted before the conflict escalated, "Hey, put the fighting aside for now! Our main business today is the deal!"

Fortunately, both sides exercised restraint, and the provocation ultimately did not escalate into a full-blown battle.

"Garji!" Kane shouted, turning around. "Go check those two boxes of documents!"

With his expertise in both biology and materials science, George was naturally the best person to examine the authenticity of those two boxes of documents.

The next two and a half hours passed slowly in a subtle and tense stalemate.

The navy and the pirates stood on opposite sides of the beach, their gazes filled with vigilance and scrutiny.

Until Judge, with barely suppressed excitement, looked up from in front of the two wide-open metal boxes and announced loudly:

"The information is correct!"

The rest is simple.

A box of documents in exchange for a general; the Joker CP0 became the add-on in the deal.

The deal was quickly finalized.

Without wasting words, Kaido immediately transformed into a blue dragon, enveloping the four giants and two boxes in flames. Then, with a flick of his tail, he soared into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

Kane and Jhin followed closely behind.

"It flies very fast."

Borsalino shaded his eyes with his hand, watching the figures rapidly shrink in size: "Old man, what do you say? Shall we make a move?"

Upon hearing this, Garp grinned with a heroic smile full of fighting spirit, revealing a set of white teeth: "Let's say goodbye."

Before he finished speaking, the muscles in his legs bulged instantly, and the sand beneath his feet sank with a roar! He was lifted into the air like a human cannonball.

His thick right arm suddenly stretched backward to its limit, and a massive amount of domineering energy frantically gathered on his iron fist.

"Fist Bone Impact!"

At the same time, Borsalino's body transformed into countless dazzling golden particles of light, instantly appearing high in the sky beside Garp.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest, touching his thumb and forefinger together, making an OK sign, with countless points of light condensing within the "O".

"The Eight-Foot Jade Curved Jewel!"

In the next instant, a terrifying shockwave that tore through the sky and was crackling with black and red electric arcs intertwined and merged with a dense torrent of dazzling golden light bullets, like a meteor shower, in mid-air. In an instant, it caught up with Kane and his companions.

"Sigh, can't we just end this deal peacefully and amicably? Why do we have to make such a fuss?"

Kane, who was flying at the very back to cover the rear, seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He sighed helplessly and slowly turned around.

Faced with this combined attack that could instantly destroy a fleet, Kane's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly opened his dragon's mouth.

His body was filled with a vast amount of immense energy and powerful Conqueror's Haki.

"Dragon Pulse!"
