One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

There was absolutely no time to react!

The moment Haildin had this thought, a jet-black fist, like a cannonball, struck his forehead with irresistible force.

"Oh!"

A deep, muffled bang echoed through the office.

Halding's forehead bone collapsed smoothly.

His massive body stiffened abruptly, his eyes rolled back instantly, and his enormous body crashed backward, falling into a deep, infant-like sleep.

One hit! KO!

To prevent the newly repaired castle from being damaged again, Kane exercised great restraint this time.

They merely stunned Haldin precisely, without letting his massive body crash through any wall.

"Haydin!"

"captain!"

The members of the New Giant Warrior Pirates cried out in horror and rushed forward to support their unconscious captain.

As the ship's doctor, Gertz immediately stepped forward to carefully examine Halding's injuries. After a while, she finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Thankfully, he didn't die, and his head wasn't smashed; he was just dizzy.

Kane calmly shook his hand, as if he had only brushed off a bit of dust: "Take him to see a doctor. With the physique of giants, he'll be up and running again after a few days of rest."

Normally, Haildin could have just been unconscious for a few hours, but who told him to be so inconsiderate?

Go lie in bed for a few days and reflect on your actions.

"Yes, King Kane!"

The crew members, now completely unconvinced, respectfully agreed and carefully lifted their unconscious captain.

"Let's go, Robin."

Kane turned around and beckoned to his smiling secretary.

"After we finish arranging the final matters in Elbaf, we should set sail again."

They've stayed long enough in Elbaf; it's time for them to return to the sea.

Chapter 172 Loki and Chiffon's First Encounter

Three days later, in the morning.

The warm sunlight shone on the bustling port of Elbaf as the Red Voss slowly docked.

Shanks was the first to jump off the ship, followed closely by his crew, who set foot on this familiar land.

However, the scene before them left them frozen in place.

"Was all of this brought about by that man, Kane, the Calamity?"

Even after seeing it with my own eyes, I still find it hard to believe!

The members of the Red-Haired Pirates couldn't help but exclaim in amazement at the orderly and bustling scene before them.

Beckman, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, remarked, "I've long heard that Kane is quite adept at governing the country, and now it seems that the rumors are not only true, but even somewhat conservative."

Shanks nodded, his face showing no regret or resentment, but rather a hint of joy: "It seems that our giant friends are really about to have good days ahead."

Lucky Lou, who was happily gnawing on a large bone, grumbled indistinctly, "Boss, everyone used to have a chance to call you 'King Shanks.' Now that bastard Kane beat you to it, are you really not regretting it at all?"

"Boss, if you want to cry, just cry! We promise we won't laugh at you... Pfft!"

Before Yasopp could finish speaking, he couldn't help but laugh, which caused the surrounding crew members to burst into laughter.

"You bastards, stop messing with me!"

Shanks playfully slapped Yasopp on the back of the head, which only elicited louder laughter from the crowd.

"Hahaha, Shanks, you're 'a step too late'."

A hearty laugh came from not far away.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jaba walking towards them at a leisurely pace.

Sensing the implication in Jabba's words, Shanks shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile, "Spare me. I'm completely inept at governing a country, so I'd better not cause any more trouble for Elbaf."

The only thing he can do to help the giants is through the protection of the Emperor Pirates.

However, this "benefit" that countless countries on the high seas dream of is not so indispensable to the powerful warrior nation of Elbaf.

"I can testify! Shanks doesn't even know how much treasure we have on our own ship!"

Honjo, at the opportune moment, loudly complained about how unreliable his own captain was.

"Hahahahaha!"

The Red-Haired Pirates' hearty laughter echoed once again along the harbor.

After a brief and relaxed exchange of pleasantries, Jabba explained the recent situation in Elbaf to the Red-Haired Pirates.

Their trip was largely motivated by a desire to take advantage of Kane's absence and personally confirm whether he harbored any ill intentions towards Elbaf.

Given their deep friendship with the giants, they would certainly lend a helping hand if needed.

Elbaf shows no signs of war; on the contrary, it is full of vitality and more vibrant than ever before.

"It seems that the strength and influence of the Beasts Pirates have risen to another level."

Beckman took a deep drag on his cigarette, his brow furrowing slightly.

Their relationship with the Beasts Pirates can hardly be described as friendly.

If a conflict were to occur in the future, the powerful force of the giants must also be taken into account, even though they are also on good terms with the giants.

Shanks patted the first mate on the shoulder forcefully, a carefree smile spreading across his face: "Relax, Beckman. I've got you covered. I'm invincible!"

Stop bragging.

Beckman said this, but his furrowed brows unconsciously relaxed, and a helpless yet trusting smile appeared on his lips.

the other side.

The Fierce Sky Steed is cutting through the waves, speeding across a certain sea area in the New World.

In a corner of the deck, Kane held up a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) and was talking to someone on the other end.

Are you sure the information is reliable?

"Of course, don't you even consider what they do for a living?"

The Den Den Mushi displayed a charming smiling face, and Stussy's sweet and seductive voice came through: "The Ancient Giant's size is so conspicuous, it's hard not to notice him. However, he's a great pirate with a bounty of 2.6 billion, a full 200 million more than Lord Kane~ Are you really sure you want to capture him?"

Kane scoffed dismissively, "That's just because I've been keeping a low profile lately. Bounties don't reflect a person's true strength at all."

You can say anything about a man, but you can't say he's incompetent.

A few cryptic chuckles came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

Stussy didn't dwell on the bounty issue, and changed the subject: "By the way, Loki's current location is rather sensitive, you know, he's almost at Whole Cake Island. Linlin has been coveting the power of the Titans for quite some time now."

"I'm going to capture Loki, and even the Four Emperors can't stop me."

Kane shook his head, his words showing no regard for Charlotte Linlin, a veteran Yonko.

"Then I wish Lord Kane every success!"

"Yes, thank you for the information, Stusi."

"A verbal thank you isn't enough; how about some... tangible reward?"

Stussy's voice suddenly became even softer, as if it had transformed into an invisible feather, gently scratching Kane's heart and bringing a tingling, itchy sensation.

Hmm? Why does this dialogue sound so familiar?

Didn't I say something similar in the previous chapter?

This fairy...

Kane shook off the romantic thoughts that had surfaced in his mind, and was about to make a few teasing remarks when he suddenly felt several scorching gazes, almost burning holes in his back, all focused on him.

Oh no! I forgot I was in a public place!

He quickly lowered his voice and said into the microphone, "Get yourself cleaned up and wait. I'll come find you after I've finished my business!"

"Then this humble woman will await Lord Kane's arrival."

Seemingly sensing something, Stussy hung up the call with a mischievous smile.

Kane casually put away the Den Den Mushi, and as he turned around, he was met with several pretty faces with different expressions and unpredictable moods.

He cleared his throat a few times without changing his expression, adopted the most serious look imaginable, and announced loudly: "According to reliable intelligence, target Loki is currently in the waters near Whole Cake Island! Sky Pierce, full speed ahead!"

As long as he isn't embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

"Humph!"

Hiyori, Robin, Violet, and Reiju exchanged glances, their eyes meeting rapidly in the air, silently conveying their message.

"Squeeze him dry?"

"Absolutely!"

After a brief exchange of glances, they nodded in unison, successfully reaching a consensus.

Action must be taken to ensure that someone has no energy to philander!

a few days later.

Southeast of the world lies Songruan Island.

The entire island is like a giant dessert factory, made up of colorful buildings shaped like cupcakes and Swiss rolls, and the air is filled with the tempting sweet aroma of butter and cream all day long.

At this moment, a huge raft, flying a pirate flag with a crown and skull pattern, barged into this sweet and peaceful sea.

"It smells so good...I'm so hungry~"

A giant, standing at least sixty or seventy meters tall, clutched his thunderous belly and greedily inhaled the sweet aroma that permeated the air.

He wore a wide-brimmed helmet, with two long, menacing horns piercing through it and shooting straight into the sky, his deep purple hair wildly flowing.
