One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

Whether out of friendly relations with the giants or based on practical interests, they had no sufficient reason to start a war with Kane and his group at this moment.

"Kane—!"

Shanks' voice carried on the sea breeze, carrying an undeniable warning: "Remember! If I find out you dare to misbehave on Elbaf soil, I will absolutely not let you off!"

The only response he received was Kane's leisurely waving right hand and the receding silhouette of the Rayquaza.

Beckman frowned, walked over to Shanks, and lowered his voice: "Shanks, just in case, I think it's necessary to contact Jabba immediately, explain the situation to him, and let him prepare."

Shanks wholeheartedly agreed and silently pulled out a Den Den Mushi.

……

After several days of sailing, the ecology of the surrounding waters has quietly changed.

The seawater became even more azure and deep, and the fish that occasionally leaped out of the water were noticeably larger.

"Whoosh!"

With Kane's arm exerting force, the fishing line instantly tightened.

A huge shadow ripped through the sea, sending up a spray of water, before finally crashing heavily onto the deck with a loud bang!

That was a truly gigantic tuna!

Its massive body was almost as wide as the main deck of the Sky Piercer, and its powerful tail fin was still flapping unwillingly, causing the ship to sway slightly.

Wow! It's huge!

"I've never seen this body type before."

"Could this be the king of tuna?!"

"Hmm... with such vitality, it would be an exquisite delicacy as sashimi!"

The crew members on the ship, who had traveled with Kane, had seen all sorts of things, but they had never seen a tuna of such an exaggerated size before.

It's not that they're unsophisticated.

They had seen sea kings that were hundreds or even thousands of meters long, but those were special beings.

But the fish in front of us is an ordinary fish, which makes it all the more precious and awe-inspiring.

"Crackling sound! Seeing this fish means we're very, very close to Elbaf!"

Brogy laughed heartily, his joy evident on his face: "Without these enormous sea fish, we giants wouldn't have a easy time surviving."

The giant warrior, who had been away from home for nearly a hundred years, never lost the smile on his face after seeing the fish.

Even the most adventurous giant still harbors a deep longing for his homeland.

Sure enough, after sailing for another day, an incredible silhouette slowly emerged on the distant horizon, growing larger as it drew closer until it filled the entire field of vision.

That was a towering tree called Adam Tree.

Here, the phrase "reaching for the sky" is no longer an exaggeration, but an objective description that is so precise that it is even insufficient to fully capture its magnificence.

The crew members on the ship strained to look up as far as they could, their eyes following the giant tree trunk upwards, upwards, and upwards again... until their necks ached, but they still couldn't see the top of the Adam Tree!

Its canopy seems to have merged into the clouds, becoming one with the sky itself.

If Kane remembers correctly, the middle and upper levels of the Treasure Tree Adam even include Island Cloud and Sea Cloud.

That's right, it's the island clouds and sea clouds like those in Skypiea!

From the distant sea, the already enormous island of Elbafna appears as insignificant as a flowerpot, merely providing soil for its roots, in comparison to the precious tree Adam.

"Kane, look! What a huge tree!"

Yamato excitedly grabbed Kane's arm, his eyes wide.

"Can you see it from this far away?"

Enel, who was training his Armament Haki with Kane, was also drawn to the presence of the Treasure Tree Adam and was momentarily stunned.

"Don't get distracted during training!"

In that brief moment of distraction, Kane delivered a punch directly to Enel's abdomen.

Liver-Exploding Fist, kid!

"Ugh!"

A sharp pain instantly swept through his body; Enel's eyes bulged out, and his mouth opened wide uncontrollably.

Damn it, you attacked from behind, didn't you!

Kane reached out at the right moment and caught Enel, whose knees were about to give way and he was about to collapse, preventing him from falling flat on his face and thus saving the god some dignity.

Friends!

At that moment, the giants' booming voices, brimming with barely suppressed excitement, rang out: "Elbaf, we've arrived!"

They went home.

When the ship had sailed to a certain distance, Cassie took a square stone out of his pocket.

He faced Adam the Tree, his arm starting from the sea surface and drawing an arc, the end of which pointed to Adam the Tree's middle canopy.

The next moment, a magical and magnificent sight occurred!

A magnificent rainbow bridge appeared out of thin air.

One end of it is connected to the sea in front of the Sky Piercer, while the other end is firmly anchored on the distant, towering Treasure Tree Adam.

Wow! So beautiful!

Bonnie was the first to jump up, her pink hair bobbing excitedly with her movements, her little face full of pure amazement.

Yamato grabbed the gunwale, leaning half his body out, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "Amazing! It's a bridge made of rainbows! Are we going to walk across it?"

“That’s right, exactly,” Dongli said proudly.

The moment the Sky Piercer touched the Rainbow Bridge, the entire ship seemed to enter an invisible rising river, and the bow suddenly rose high!

"Hold on tight, everyone!" Cassie's loud voice rang out just in time, reminding everyone.

As soon as the words were spoken, the Liekong Zuohao had completely detached from the sea surface and, along the Rainbow Bridge, began an incredible ascent, like riding a reverse slide!

"It's flying! The ship is flying!"

Everyone was surprised.

The ocean is truly full of wonders; is there really such a way of sailing?

Elbaf, the port of the Sun.

As the Sky Pierce steadily entered the port and came into contact with the clouds, the Rainbow Bridge, which had completed its mission, began to fade and eventually dissipated into the air.

When everyone finally set foot on this land known as the "world's number one superpower," "big" became the only word in Kane's mind.

A huge port, huge houses, huge flowers, trees, huge insects and birds...

Everything here is incredibly large.

Here, even the 100-meter-long Liekong Seat appears quite ordinary.

"Squeak~ Crunch~"

The rhythmic sound of oars came from above.

Everyone looked up and saw a "small, ordinary boat" tens of meters long carrying several giants who were chatting and laughing, flying lightly upwards, as if sailing in an invisible sea of ​​sky.

It is worth noting that beneath the oars on both sides is not air, but pure white island clouds.

Bonnie exclaimed in delight, "Wow, that's amazing! It's a flying ship!"

Oimo explained with a smile, "That's a mist boat. Strictly speaking, it doesn't fly; it navigates by relying on the buoyancy generated by the island clouds."

"Hehehehehe... Pretty spectacular, huh?"

Dongli laughed heartily, thoroughly enjoying the astonished looks from his guests.

"Crackling sounds... Enough with the nonsense, Dongli! I can't wait any longer!"

Brogy pounded his belly, making a dull, drum-like sound: "Let's go to the tavern first. I can't wait to taste their wine again!"

Kane smiled upon hearing this and readily agreed: "When in Rome, do as the host does. Now that we're on your turf, it's all up to you to take care of us."

His tone was relaxed, without the slightest hint of insincere politeness.

"Of course! Leave it to us!"

Giants love this kind of straightforward temperament; roundabout and hypocritical etiquette won't work with them.

Led by Broki, the group set off on the road to the port tavern.

According to Donli and his men's assurances, that tavern contained Elbaf's finest wine, the kind that could get a warrior's blood pumping.

Along the way, the giants also enthusiastically introduced the basic layout of Elbaf to the guests.

This vast kingdom of giants revolves around the precious tree Adam and is divided into three regions, from highest to lowest: the Heavenly Realm, the Realm of the Living, and the Realm of the Dead.

Because the Tree Adam was so enormous that its root region received almost no sunlight, and that land, known as the Underworld, was cold year-round with sparse vegetation, most of the giants lived in the Sun World, where they could receive sunlight.

"You'd better stay away from the underworld. It's very dangerous there. There are many giant beasts that are dangerous even to us giants."

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Dorry slapped his forehead: "Of course, except for Kane and you guys."

Those powerful "mountain lords" probably couldn't withstand a single punch from Kane.

"A... a giant beast?!"

Chopper and Violet gasped almost simultaneously, the two of them hugging each other tightly, their teeth chattering uncontrollably.

A beast that even powerful giants find dangerous... how terrifying must it be!

Kane, however, showed little interest in this.

Despite the Beasts Pirates' thirst for powerful beasts, even if the mountain lord, accustomed to life in the underworld, were captured, he would likely find it difficult to adapt to the ecological environment of Wano Country.

We can't exactly ask Kuzan to come and create a frozen wasteland area that simulates the underworld just for them, can we?

The tavern is very close to the port.

Thanks to the port, a small town has formed here, and the tavern is located in it.

Not long after we walked, an outrageously large building came into view.
