One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

"oh--!!!"

A deafening roar erupted from the stands, the sound almost lifting the sky above the arena.

All the giant warriors were filled with surging blood, their eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit, and their heavy breathing blended together.

The atmosphere had already reached a climax before the battle even began.

Kane, standing in the center of the arena, felt the primal and frenzied atmosphere and nodded to himself.

This is the warrior nation he had in mind.

"I'll come first!"

A loud shout silenced the commotion.

A giant dressed as a Viking warrior, wielding a massive axe, leaped directly from the high stands, landing with a thud and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"It's Jason the Demon! One of the strongest warriors in our East Village!"

Giants who recognized him immediately cheered him on excitedly.

"Humans! Get ready, I'm about to attack!"

The giant gave a warning, then swung his giant axe at Kane!

Before the axe blade even touched Kane's body, the immense wind pressure it carried made Kane's hair and robes flutter wildly, as if it wanted to tear his frail figure to shreds.

Faced with this fierce attack, Kane remained calm and simply raised his right hand.

"Success!" The giant, seeing Kane neither dodge nor evade, roared with wild joy, "Under my giant axe... uh~"

Before he could finish speaking, his expression froze.

He felt as if the giant axe in his hand was embedded in the trunk of the precious tree Adam, unable to move forward or backward, with an irresistible force clamping him down!

Damn it! Get the hell out of here!

The giant's forehead veins bulged, and the muscles in his arms bulged like rocks. He tried with all his might to move the axe, but the giant axe seemed to be welded in mid-air and did not move an inch!

A bead of cold sweat instantly slid down his forehead.

"Wow—"

The audience erupted in uproar!

Countless giants rose to their feet in disbelief, their eyes wide with astonishment.

What did they see?

That tiny human actually blocked Jason's full-force slash with just one hand?

No! That's not right!

A sharp-eyed giant quickly noticed that what was blocking Jason's axe was merely two fingers! Two fingers so small they couldn't be smaller!

"Did you come here without eating enough breakfast? You're so weak it makes me want to doze off."

Kane uttered a few trash words, watching as the giant's face turned from deathly pale to flushed red, and then from flushed red to ashen.

He chuckled softly and loosened his grip.

As the pressure in his hand eased, the giant axe, propelled by inertia, was about to slide past Kane when a fleeting look of relief crossed Jason's face—

But before the smile could fully bloom, an overwhelming force suddenly surged through the axe handle!

The giant felt a sharp pain in his hands and numbness in his tiger's mouth, and involuntarily loosened his grip on the axe handle.

Just as the giant axe crashed to the ground with a clang, a figure as swift as a ghost appeared beside its massive head.

Goodbye.

The next second, a fist completely disproportionate to the giant's body, carrying terrifying power contrary to its size, was imprinted on Jason's left cheek.

"Ugh-"

The giant's eyes rolled back instantly, his consciousness left his body, and his massive body was sent flying backward as if hit head-on by a dump truck, with several bloody teeth sliding off the ground.

Kane landed lightly.

He surveyed the restless, massive figures in the stands and announced loudly, "Next!"

Witnessing their comrades fall so quickly, the giant warriors were not deterred, but instead their fighting spirit was completely ignited.

A giant, even more massive than Jason, roared and leaped onto the field.

Then, he made his exit in an even more decisive manner.

Almost the instant he launched his attack, Kane delivered a clean and decisive over-the-shoulder throw, slamming him into the ground and knocking him unconscious.

As the two giant warriors were quickly defeated one after another, cheers began to rise sporadically from the stands.

"Kane! Kane! Kane!"

Among them, the little guy Cologne shouted the loudest, almost jumping up.

Jabba did not stop his son's 'defection,' but sighed to Lipple, "No wonder Shanks lost to Kaido. Even Kaido's three calamities have such strength, so his loss is not surprising."

Below the arena, Kane, who had easily defeated two giants in succession, showed no sign of smugness.

"The fight just now wasn't even good enough to warm me up."

He shook his head slightly in disappointment, then looked up, his gaze sweeping across the noisy audience like lightning, a defiant smile playing on his lips.

“Take it one at a time, it’s too time-consuming. You—”

His voice suddenly rose, carrying clearly to every corner, "Let's all come at him!"

"what?!"

"Insanity!"

"Do you think those two represent the highest level of skill in Elbaf?!"

The audience erupted in chaos, filled with shouts and curses.

Kane didn't care at all. He turned to look at Aruru and the elders on the presiding panel: "One against many, that doesn't violate the rules, does it?"

Aruru stroked his long, snow-white beard and pondered, "The rules only stipulate that challengers must take turns, but do not restrict the defenders. However, Kane, are you sure you want to do this?"

The old man's eyes held a hint of inquiry.

Kane replied casually, "Of course."

"Since that's the case... then so be it."

With Aruru's approval, the giant warriors, after a brief commotion and discussion, quickly made a decision.

"Let the brown bear brothers go! They are powerful warriors who can survive seven days in the underworld and return safely! They will definitely win!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a pair of twin giant warriors leaped into the arena.

They wielded massive double-edged swords that were half their body length long, their eyes fierce and their aura imposing.

Without any unnecessary words, the two brothers, in perfect unison, simultaneously raised their greatswords high above their heads, and a violent power gathered and roared on the blades!

"Hegemony!"

The two swung their swords down simultaneously with near-perfect synchronization!

boom!

One red and one blue, two powerful energy waves roared out from their weapons, instantly twisting and merging into a huge shockwave column with an astonishing diameter!

Wherever the shockwave passed, the air hissed under its strain, and the ground was plowed with deep trenches, as if it would completely annihilate everything in its path!

"Good timing!"

Faced with this combined attack technique that could easily pierce through a warship, Kane finally showed a serious expression.

Armament Haki instantly covered his entire body, and then he did something that left all the Titans speechless.

Instead of dodging, Kane stomped his feet on the ground, transforming into a black meteor that tore through the air, and bravely faced the devastating shockwave!

"slam!"

Under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, the black figure was forcefully swallowed by the shockwave, shattering it wherever it passed.

"How is this possible?!"

The twin brothers didn't even see what happened before they felt a sharp pain in their chest, their vision went black, and their massive bodies collapsed to the ground, completely losing consciousness.

Seeing their highly anticipated brown bear brothers suffer such a swift defeat, the giants finally realized that the human before them was no match for them to defeat in a one-on-one fight!

"Go together!"

No one knows who roared first, but the next moment, the giant warriors jumped down from the high stands like dumplings being dropped into boiling water!

The once packed stands were instantly emptied, leaving only some elderly, weak, women and children who were unable or unwilling to participate.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Kane was surrounded by a dense horde of giant warriors, as if they were moving mountains.

Dozens of eyes burning with fighting spirit looked down at him from above, their heavy breathing forming a muffled bellows, and the heavy pressure seemed to press down on him as if it were a tangible reality.

However, Kane, who was at the center of the storm, slowly closed his eyes amidst countless oppressive gazes.

He lightly touched the ground with his feet, jumped up lightly, and stretched his arms and legs, doing the same warm-up exercises as Sun Wukong.

His face showed no sign of tension from being in danger; in fact, it even seemed to show some... enjoyment!

This oblivious attitude lasted for about half a minute.

Kane suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharpening, and a wild smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "That's it! Come on, don't waste time!"

Before he finished speaking, he launched the first charge, deliberately crashing into the impenetrable wall of giants!

"Dragon Claw! Dragon Tail! Iron Head! Tile Splitter!..."

With each attack name announced, Kane's figure darted swiftly between the giant's legs and weapons.

His fists, feet, elbows, knees, and even his head—every part of his body became a deadly weapon.

Faced with his overwhelming and brutal attack, none of the giants could withstand a single blow. Often, they would be knocked unconscious and collapse to the ground after just one exchange.

Fortunately, Kane showed mercy throughout, and the giants are naturally thick-skinned and resilient; otherwise, today would probably be Elbaf's "Ragnarok".

"So strong!"

“I’ve only ever seen this level of absolute power in King Harald and…Loki.”
