One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

Although he is not of the David clan and is unlikely to attract Im's direct attention, what if he is?

Caution is never a bad thing until you have enough confidence.

As if a key word had been triggered, Kaido stopped laughing, all the drunkenness and mania on his face instantly vanishing: "Hmph... These days, do any young people still remember the name 'God Valley'?"

"Know a thing or two."

Kane shrugged. "I was just about to take this opportunity to ask you, Professor Kane, what exactly happened at God Valley back then?"

Before he transmigrated, the Valley of the Gods arc was not yet finished.

Now that the person in question is right in front of us, we should naturally seize the opportunity.

Kaido didn't answer immediately. He looked Kane up and down with a scrutinizing gaze and asked, "What do you know?"

Kane shrugged, barely able to contain himself: "The Navy's official statement is that Garp single-handedly defeated the invading Rocks Pirates at God Valley, saving countless innocent civilians and thus earning the title of hero."

The assessment is: A captivating moment in journalism.

He paused, then said, "But as far as I know, the truth is quite the opposite."

"It was the Celestial Dragons who invaded God Valley. That place is the hunting ground for their triennial 'study tour' activities. Rocks went there to rescue people. Of course, his pirates were mostly after the Celestial Dragons' treasure."

"However, none of these are the key points."

Kane stared intently at Kaido: "What I want to know is the detailed account of how Rocks, Whitebeard, Charlotte Linlin, you, Garp, and Roger—the six of them—joined forces to fight that Saint Satan who was possessed by the shadow!"

"what?!"

The pupils of the eyes trembled.

He knew who Satan Saint was, of course, but did that old man really need those six people to fight him?

Those were six people standing almost at the top of the ocean!

Kaido gave Kane a deep look: "You even dug up this kind of secret? No wonder you're so wary of the World Government."

His massive frame leaned back slightly, his gaze unfocused, as if piercing through the veil of time and returning to that battlefield: "Although I don't know what that thing is, it is definitely the World Government's most deeply hidden power!"

"That thing wasn't very strong; the six of us shattered its body on the first try! But... it was no use!"

"He possesses... true immortality!"

Chapter 164 The Giants' Encounters in Wano Country

"Immortality?"

King subconsciously turned his head to look at Kaido, his usually calm and sharp eyes now filled with shock and confusion.

Does such a thing really exist in this world?

If this is true, then who can stand against the World Government?

But to Kaido and King's surprise, Kane's expression remained unchanged—no surprise, no doubt, not even fear...

As if they already knew!

His performance reminded Kaido of an old friend.

"Kane, you're not from the David family, are you?"

Back then, Rocks was the same; he knew many ancient secrets that the world government tried hard to cover up, secrets that could shake the very foundations of its rule.

"of course not."

Kane flatly denied it, steer the conversation back on track: "And then? How did that battle ultimately end?"

"later?"

Kaido fell into reminiscence again, his voice lowering: "That shadowy figure pierced Rocks and used a technique called 'Dark Transformation Domination' to transform him into a demonic puppet. Under the shadowy figure's will, he turned his attention to the massacre."

"And then what?" Kane pressed.

"And then? Then I'll find a chance to leave!"

Kaido suddenly snorted coldly, his tone tinged with annoyance and anger, whether directed at Kane's questioning or at his own powerless and weak self who could only retreat back then.

Kane was stunned; he hadn't expected this outcome.

However, thinking about it, it makes sense. Back then, Kaido was no different from a greenhorn who had just set sail, among the monsters in God Valley.

If it weren't for his youthful arrogance and desire to show off his newly acquired Azure Dragon Fruit abilities in front of the captain, he wouldn't have inexplicably participated in the World Championship.

Well, after going around in circles, we still haven't gotten the most crucial information.

Kane sighed inwardly, knowing that asking any further questions would yield no new results, so he said no more, bid farewell, and turned to leave the room.

Inside the room, only Kaido and King remained, and silence filled the air.

After a long while, Kaido gazed in the direction Kane had left and spoke in a complicated tone.

"Jhin... do you think that Kane kid might be the legendary Joy Boy?"

Despite his reluctance to admit it, Kane's charisma, methods, and inexplicable attraction to various races were increasingly resembling the scattered accounts he knew of the liberator.

The four giants on Ghost Island who were deeply grateful to him are the most striking example.

Lingling, that old woman, spent her whole life trying to gain the giants' approval but failed, while Kane seemed to achieve it effortlessly.

Jin answered almost without hesitation, his answer as firm and devout as ever, like that of the most loyal believer.

“Mr. Kaido, in my heart, there is only one person who can be Joy Boy.”

And it will always be you.

He added silently and solemnly in his heart.

Ghost Island, in the wide plaza outside the main building.

Kane met his waiting companions there, as well as his four giant friends who stood like small mountains.

At this moment, their eyes were all focused on the center of the square, watching a battle unfold.

No, it was less of a battle and more of a one-sided crushing defeat.

Two towering dinosaurs charged through the pirate horde, scattering enemies like bowling pins in their wake.

In just a few minutes, the dinosaurs ended the battle.

"Hahahaha! You're still a hundred years away from defeating us!" The relatively small, swollen-headed dragon with a heavy skull let out a clear, arrogant laugh.

"Who else?!" Beside her, the Spinosaurus, even larger with sharp bony plates protruding from its back, roared deafeningly.

"Amazing!" the giants exclaimed sincerely.

Judging from their perspective, these two were more than capable of taking on a single adult Elbaf warrior.

"Well done, Jun, Pei!" Yamato cupped his hands around his mouth and cheered excitedly.

"Damn you, Yamato! Only I can call him 'Little Pei'!" Runti instantly deactivated her ability and reverted to human form, puffing out her cheeks and pointing angrily at Yamato.

"Don't be so stingy~" Yamato said with a grin, completely unconcerned.

Peggy was already used to his sister's sudden "jealousy." He shook his head helplessly, glanced at the edge of the square, and his eyes lit up.

"Brother Kane! You're back!"

Page One's face lit up with surprise. He immediately deactivated his transformation and ran quickly toward Kane.

"Hey! Xiao Pei! Wait for me!" Run Ti shouted and chased after her younger brother as he ran away.

So young!

When the giants saw the siblings return to human form, their faces once again showed astonishment.

They all looked like teenagers.

Are all the members of the Beasts Pirates this powerful?

"You've gotten a lot stronger, Little Pei," Kane said with a smile, encouraging the boy who had run up to him.

"I haven't slacked off for a single day!" Paget-Wan puffed out his chest, a proud smile on his face.

"Impressive." Kane gave a thumbs-up approvingly, then asked, "Where's Jack? What's he up to these days?"

"If it's Brother Jack, he should be training his fishman troops in the bay northeast of Ghost Island."

Page pointed in one direction toward Oni Island, where the Fish-Man Island immigrants had settled and trained.

Kane nodded and exchanged a few more pleasantries with Runti, who had come over.

He then turned his attention to his four giant friends.

"How are you feeling? Have you fully recovered?"

"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! It's completely fine now!"

Brogy pounded his chest with tremendous force, making loud thuds, and his booming laughter seemed to vibrate the air.

"Hehehehe! I have to thank you for this, Kane!"

Dorry lowered his head, his huge eyes filled with sincere gratitude. "Without you, we would probably have rotted away in that dark and hopeless place, Impel Down."

Cassie and Oimo also bowed, expressing their heartfelt gratitude to Kane with the most solemn etiquette of the giants.

Without Kane, they would have been fooled by the World Government for who knows how long.

“No need to be so polite.” Kane waved his hand heartily, a genuine smile on his face. “Aren’t we friends? It’s only natural for friends to help each other; there’s no need for so many thanks.”

“That’s right! We are friends!” the four giants repeated in unison.

If Kane, who saved their lives, isn't a friend, then who is?

Moreover, he is a true friend to whom one can entrust one's life and death, and is the most trustworthy friend!

After expressing his heartfelt gratitude, Donley solemnly bent down and extended an invitation to Kane: "Kane, we would like to formally invite you to visit Elbaf!"

Brogy immediately chimed in, "Clap clap clap! Elbaf is the best country in the world! Just thinking about the fiery taste of their liquor makes my mouth water!"

Cassie and Oimo nodded in agreement.

"Great! Great!" Upon hearing that there was a chance to go on an adventure to the legendary Kingdom of Giants, Yamato immediately raised his hand high, so excited that he almost jumped up.

The other companions' eyes also lit up with hope, and they all looked at Kane.

That's the kingdom of giants; few adventurers can resist it.
