One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

Countless slashes formed by highly compressed air tore through the smoke screen like a sudden rainstorm, pouring towards Kaido's location.

"Not bad, kid."

Suddenly, Kaido's wild laughter rang out from the smoke and dust.

call--

The jet-black spiked club suddenly sliced ​​through the air, sweeping forward.

Bang bang bang!

The dense array of sharp air blades was completely shattered by this single blow!

"Is that all? Are there any more powerful moves?"

Kaido casually slung his spiked club over his shoulder, his eyes gleaming with a wild light that seemed to hold unfulfilled desire.

Kaido, who had taken the brunt of the Dragon Pulse, was completely unharmed, except for some scratches on his chest.

Chapter 2 Joining the Beasts Pirates

"It's not over yet!" Kane smiled slightly and raised his hands.

As the god of the sky, Rayquaza can't help but show off his ability to control the weather, can he?

Rumbling--

The once clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds.

Guided by Kane's will, countless dark clouds intertwined, merged, and compressed until they completely blocked out the sunlight, plunging the world into a chilling darkness.

Only deep within the thunderclouds, the occasional flashes of lightning that rip through the darkness seem to indicate that an apocalyptic catastrophe is brewing within.

Even Kaido, one of the Four Emperors who had fought countless battles, could sense danger at this moment.

This is getting more and more interesting!

"almost."

Feeling he had reached his limit, Kane clenched his fist tightly and shouted, "Thunder!"

scoff!

In an instant, the thunderclouds surged.

A thick, almost tangible black lightning bolt crashed down, as if to pierce the earth.

Kaido's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Seeing the future, his expression turned solemn. He twisted his body and transformed into his beastman form for the first time.

"Kid, I approve of you! This is the kind of disaster I've been looking for!"

Kaido laughed heartily, his Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki clinging to his spiked club.

"Thunderous Eight Trigrams!"

Instead of retreating, Kaido advanced, facing the black lightning that seemed capable of devouring everything, and fiercely unleashed the Eight Precepts.

The tiny spiked club looked as thin as a pencil in an adult's hand compared to the towering thunder pillar, which was over twenty meters in diameter.

Even so, the lightning bolts that came crashing down from above could not advance an inch due to Kaido's interception.

boom!!!

The jet-black, imposing lightning exploded, constantly diminishing the lightning bolts emanating from Kaido's head.

The ear-piercing explosions continued incessantly, and the aftershocks of the shockwaves hitting the ground instantly triggered a series of astonishing explosions.

Even Kane, the instigator, was forced to fly away from the battlefield.

Once in a safe position, Kane shaded his eyes with his hand and admired his masterpiece.

As expected of a powerful move with a power of 110, even I can achieve such an effect when I use it now, it's comparable to a Yonko's attack.

If someone were to cosplay as Enel and create a ball lightning bolt, it might actually be able to destroy a country in one strike.

Unfortunately, the greater the power, the longer the charging time.

This is only because he encountered Kaido, who likes to take damage. If he were to encounter an agile opponent, his accuracy would probably be questionable.

At the heart of the battlefield, Kaido, facing the lightning head-on, was under unimaginable pressure.

However, this pressure was like the strongest liquor, making his blood boil and every muscle in his body roar!

Kaido's arm muscles bulged and swelled further, and the ground beneath his feet could not withstand the enormous recoil, causing it to collapse and create a large crater.

An even greater force propelled the spiked club back from its stalemate, pushing it back step by step.

"You worthless lightning, get the hell back to the sky!"

Kaido's eyes widened, and his entire body's strength exploded to its limit in an instant. With a wild, baseball-like motion, he sent the black lightning flying back the way it came.

Rumbling--

The black lightning, pulled back into the sky, exploded in the clouds, and the raging winds tore the clouds apart.

The long-awaited, intense sunlight.

Once again, the sun shines upon the earth!

"Happy!"

Kaido put down his spiked club, laughed heartily, and then turned his gaze back to Kane, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

"I'm really starting to like you more and more."

Although there was an element of trickery involved, the fact that he could achieve this level solely through his Devil Fruit ability shows just how much potential this kid has.

Kane transformed back into human form, spread his arms wide, and said, "That's enough, Mr. Kaido. I'm willing to join the Beasts Pirates."

"Hehehe, you cunning little rascal."

Kaido laughed loudly. Having finished stretching, he didn't care about such petty thoughts and immediately created a cloud of flames and placed it in front of Kane.

"Come on, kid, let's leave together! You'll bear the title of the Third Disaster of the Beasts Pirates!!"

Kane shook his head, twisted his body, and instantly transformed into a giant emerald dragon tens of meters long.

Kaido's eyes lit up: "Is this your beast form? You can even fly!"

As a Azure Dragon, he does not possess the ability to fly; he relies on creating fiery clouds and using them to fly.

As he spoke, Kaido transformed into a hundred-meter-long blue dragon and soared into the sky.

Two enormous dragons stretched across the sky, and those who witnessed this scene might have thought that gods had descended to earth.

However, compared to Kaido's blue dragon, which stretches for hundreds of meters and seems capable of carrying mountains, Rayquaza, Kane's incarnation, appears much smaller.

On their way to the new world, the two started chatting.

"Raycus, the god of the sky? I've never heard of him, and he's not listed in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia."

"Perhaps too few people eat it, or maybe I'm the first."

Kane couldn't explain it, so he could only gloss over it.

Kaido didn't care much about that; there were countless strange and unusual abilities on the high seas. Instead, he asked about the origin of Kane's previous move.

He can also summon lightning.

But in his memory, only the Rumble-Rumble Fruit could compress and condense lightning to that extent.

Kane didn't hide anything and frankly said, "My main ability is to control the weather, and I can also use wind, fire, lightning, shockwaves... and even summon meteors."

Don't underestimate the simple word "control".

In terms of sheer power and influence, Kane is miles ahead of Kaido.

"It sounds somewhat similar to my abilities, but much more comprehensive. At least, I can't control the weather at will; I can only summon a few dark clouds."

“Each has its own strengths,” Kane said sincerely. “Yan Yun’s abilities are very powerful.”

This is by no means flattery; the Flame Cloud is indeed extraordinary. Not only can it be used for flight, but it also contains enormous power.

In the original work, Kaido was even able to lift Onigashima up with his own flames, something that would have been impossible for him to do on his own.

“Mr. Kaido,” Kane changed the subject at the opportune moment, “could you teach me the training of Haki?”

"Of course! But you're the first person to dare ask me to be their teacher!"

Kaido seemed to have flipped a switch and burst into laughter.

That's because you haven't traveled through time. Otherwise, you would know how famous Teacher Kai is.

You are the number one pirate master, with the first strike being Ryuo, the second being Hachiman, and the third being Awakening.

Kane muttered to himself.

At this moment, dusk quietly descended.

As the sun sets, its golden rays bathe the clouds, turning the vast expanse of white clouds into a golden hue.

Kane, who had never seen anything like it before, was so captivated that he was speechless.

"It's so beautiful!"

"Beautiful? Kid, what joke are you talking about? There are plenty of sights like this on the high seas." Kaido scoffed, oblivious to the beauty around him.

Kane's newly formed composure was instantly shattered.

If Kane weren't outmatched by Kaido, he would have loved to punch him.

Translate this for me: what does "plenty" mean?

Distracted like this, Kane's mood for appreciating the scenery completely vanished, and he remained silent for the rest of the journey, simply focusing on getting to his destination.

After a night's flight, at the dawn's light, an island surrounded by high walls appeared on the distant horizon.

Chapter 3 Contest

What makes Wano Country unique compared to other islands is the high walls built on all four sides.

The water accumulated over eight hundred years has given Wano Country a vast inland sea.

And somewhere beneath this inner sea lies Hades, which Crocodile has always dreamed of!
