One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

Two top-tier Conqueror's Haki clashed fiercely, unleashing a deafening roar. The shockwave from the collision swept across the entire Soft Island like a tsunami!

The buildings on the island, like fragile biscuits, shattered and collapsed in the shockwave, turning into dust.

The aftershocks of the battle between these two powerful individuals alone were enough to completely level the entire island!

"Doga hahaha, only someone with this kind of power is worthy of being my opponent!"

Loki felt a long-lost fighting spirit, burst into wild laughter, and his giant hammer attacks became even more ferocious.

Seeing this, Kane also transformed into his orc form, which was more suitable for close combat, and engaged Loki in fierce battle.

Every collision between the two caused the earth to tremble.

However, during the fierce battle, both of them keenly sensed something unusual—their moves seemed to be dodged or blocked by the other as if the other had foreseen them.

As Kane launched his fierce attack, he confidently declared, "So, you can do that too... Observation Haki that allows you to foresee the future!"

Loki laughed confidently: "How could mere foresight possibly stump me!"

"Really? Then do you know how to defeat an opponent with Observation Haki who can see the future?"

Kane's lips curled into a meaningful smile, and he slowly uttered two words: "Divine Speed!"

"What?" Alarm bells rang in Loki's mind.

The next second, he was horrified to find that Kane had vanished into thin air!

Immediately afterwards, a green streak of light, moving at a speed beyond the limits of visual perception, slammed into his arms!

"Ugh—!"

The immense impact caused Loki's internal organs to ache terribly.

He involuntarily opened his mouth wide, vomited a mouthful of blood, and his massive body flew backward uncontrollably as if thrown by a catapult, traversing the entire island.

"Well, as long as the speed is so fast that you can't even react before you 'see' it, that's fine."

Kane stood still and chuckled softly.

He had discovered from previous battles that Loki's agility was considerably inferior to his unparalleled and terrifying strength.

Even if this "shortcoming" is only relative to his own absurd power, for a strongman like Kane, this slight difference is enough to secure victory!

However, this is not over.

That attack, which was enough to instantly kill most of the powerful beings in the ocean, was not a minor injury for Loki, but it was by no means fatal either.

"You bastard! You've really angered me!"

Accompanied by Loki's furious roar that shook the heavens, a massive pillar of blazing fire shot into the sky from the other end of the island.

Immediately afterwards, the flames dispersed, and a giant of fire, over a hundred meters tall and engulfed in raging flames, emerged majestically from the pillar of fire!

The terrifyingly high temperature emanating from it alone caused the surrounding trees to dry up instantly and then spontaneously combust into ash.

The ground beneath the giant's feet could not withstand the extreme heat and quickly melted into viscous lava.

"No wonder the Elbaf royal family has guarded that Devil Fruit for generations, but has never eaten it themselves..."

Kane gazed at the towering fire giant in the distance, and understood.

No matter how hard Adam the Tree is, it is still a tree. And as a tree, it fears fire.

Naturally, the royal family of Elbaf, which was founded on the precious tree Adam, would not actively touch this fruit whose abilities counteract each other.

Before long, the fire giant arrived before Kane with earth-shaking strides.

Faced with terrifyingly high temperatures capable of drying out a human body, Kane remained unfazed, instead tilting his head back with interest and asking, "What kind of fruit is that? Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Surtur Mode?"

"how do you know?"

Loki was taken aback.

This fruit is clearly a treasure kept secret by the Elbaf royal family for generations, and even most of the Titans don't know it exists!

“Just guessing.” Kane shrugged.

This classic fire giant form is so iconic, and when combined with the prototype of Elbaf, the answer is almost obvious.

Chapter 174 VS Loki II

"Feel honored! This is the first time I've shown this form in public!"

Loki's voice was like rolling lava, filled with absolute confidence.

He raised the giant hammer high, and blazing flames instantly enveloped it, turning the entire hammer body scorching red-hot and emitting a suffocatingly high temperature.

"Die, you insect!"

With that deafening roar, the burning giant hammer crashed down!

As the giant hammer fell, a massive pillar of fire, with an astonishing diameter, shot into the sky from beneath Kane's feet, instantly engulfing his figure completely!

It worked!

Loki's face lit up with joy.

However, before his smile could fully bloom, a figure with a golden ribbon of light broke through the curtain of fire and rushed towards him.

boom!

A powerful punch, imbued with freezing air and domineering aura, struck Loki's chest instantly.

In an instant, the extreme cold and domineering aura erupted, and under Kane's control, it surged into Loki's body like a flood.

boom--!!!

The deafening explosion shook the heavens.

The terrifying impact force radiated outwards from the point of impact, sending a mushroom cloud of smoke and debris soaring into the sky. The entire Soft Island trembled violently and groaned under the force of the attack!

Countless bottomless, enormous cracks spread rapidly outwards from the point of battle, like a spider web.

As the smoke and dust cleared, a massive, chilling humanoid crater appeared in the center of the battlefield, its bottom invisible at a glance.

Kane stood silently at the edge of the pit, like a bowstring ready to be drawn, waiting for his opponent to reappear.

Just a dozen seconds later, a giant fiery hand suddenly emerged from the pit and clung tightly to the edge of the hole!

"asshole--!!"

Loki's massive body leaped out, fueled by boiling rage.

However, he was no longer as composed as before. The flames around him flickered erratically, and he even had several teeth knocked out by the previous attack. He was in a sorry state.

"Want to surrender?" Kane raised an eyebrow with a leisurely air. "You should be able to see the difference between us very clearly."

Loki was breathing heavily. He stared intently at Kane, not uttering a single word of nonsense. His answer to Kane was to swing his flaming hammer once more!

"This is troublesome... It seems you won't give in until I beat you so badly you can't stand up anymore."

Kane sighed softly, his tone tinged with helplessness.

While the warriors of Elbaf are reliable as teammates, their stubbornness and tenacity are a real headache as enemies.

boom!

Kane simply raised his arm and steadily blocked the blow that was powerful enough to shatter mountains.

The ground beneath his feet caved in under the immense force, creating a huge crater.

Kane himself remained calm and composed, his body as steady as a rock, and he even had the strength to engage in a pure contest of strength with Loki.

"How is that possible!"

Loki stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Kane actually blocked that hammer blow?

They weren't knocked away, or even forced back a single step!

"Impossible! My power is invincible!"

Unable to accept reality, Loki roared in fury and swung his flaming hammer repeatedly, smashing it down like a sledgehammer being hammered!

Clang clang clang!!

Kane precisely parried every single one of the furious attacks.

"Don't you understand yet?"

Kane's calm voice pierced through the thunder of the hammer, filled with absolute confidence, "In this form, my strength, speed, defense... in every aspect, surpasses yours!"

However, even so, it is indeed not easy to completely defeat Loki in a short period of time.

The ancient giants were incredibly tough and resilient, and with the all-around buffs from the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, Loki was unbelievably durable.

Time flew by amidst the earth-shattering collision.

As the sun sank in the west and dusk settled, the battle raged from the darkness until the first light of dawn.

The two had been locked in combat for a full day and night.

"The battle... isn't over yet!"

The residents of Songruan Island, who had taken refuge on the sea, gazed at their homes, now reduced to scorched earth and occasionally erupting in towering flames and biting cold, their faces filled with shock and bewilderment.

A strange premonition began to grow in their hearts.

Perhaps they need to start seriously considering moving.

At this moment, Chiffon, who had just spoken to Katakuri on the phone, came to the bow of the ship. Gazing at the apocalyptic scene in the distance, a deep worry appeared on her face.

Katakuri and the others have arrived... Are you sure everything is alright?

I hope we won't lose.

The moment the thought crossed her mind, Chiffon herself shuddered.

No, that won't happen!

Katakuri is a man who never lands on his back.

He is the most reliable pillar of the family!

She clenched her fists to cheer herself up, but the gloom in her heart lingered.
