One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

This dramatic scene nearly caused Loki's brain to shut down.

He finally couldn't resist and opened those eyes that he hated again.

"A bunch of idiots! You have no idea what terror lies behind those eyes!"

He spat angrily, his tone carrying an indescribable complex emotion, a mixture of annoyance at being affirmed by the "enemy" and a hint of wavering that even he himself was unwilling to admit.

Unexpectedly, Kane seemed to know everything and calmly smiled:

"Isn't this the so-called Demon Eye? You were cruelly abandoned by your mother right after you were born, and the root of the problem lies in these unusual eyes."

To be fair, Loki's yellow vertical pupils are a bit creepy at first glance, but once you get used to them, they're not so bad.

Kane believed that Loki was simply born at the wrong time, growing up in the wrong world.

If this were his past life, countless people would have coveted such distinctive eyes. Just by livestreaming those eyes, he could collect enough fragments of Cullinan.

Previously, white hair and heterochromia were considered unlucky and outcasts, but now, with the rise of live streaming culture, this is a natural-born anime/manga god!

Seeing Kane recount his past in such detail, as if it were his own treasure, Loki's body suddenly trembled, his voice filled with disbelief and horror: "How did you know?"

Then, as if he had thought of something, he gave a seemingly reasonable explanation on his own.

“That’s right. Now that you’re the King of Elbaf, those old guys naturally won’t hide these old stories from you.”

Seeing that Loki had already prepared all the reasons for him, Kane was happy to save himself the trouble and stopped explaining.

He extended an olive branch directly: "Loki, would you like to be my partner?"

Upon hearing this, everyone around was taken aback.

Isn't Loki a patricide?

How could such scum be allowed on board?

But out of trust in Kane, they all remained silent, quietly waiting to see how things would unfold.

Loki scoffed at this, his voice laced with disdain: "Ha, what nonsense are you spouting? Didn't you just usurp the throne of Elbaf? Shouldn't your most important task now be to take me, the rightful prince, back and execute me publicly, so that your throne may be even more legitimate and secure?"

Kane shrugged. "Theoretically, yes. But I value your own power more than the throne of Elbaf."

"Come on, Loki, let's overthrow the Celestial Dragons who have been entrenched at the top of the world for eight hundred years!"

"Doga hahahaha!!"

Loki, who had always considered destroying the world his mission, didn't bow down to Kane. Instead, he stuck out his tongue and laughed wildly: "Who do you think you are! You have no idea how terrifying the Celestial Dragons and the World Government behind them really are!!"

Kane ignored his sarcasm, shook his head with feigned regret, and sighed, "I see. You don't want to avenge your father. It seems I really did come to the wrong person."

After saying that, he turned around without hesitation and was about to leave.

Loki quickly called out, "Wait! Explain yourself! What exactly do you know?!"

Hooked.

Kane's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile, which quickly faded as he turned and calmly looked at Loki: "I know far more than you can imagine."

"Your father, the wise King Harald... his death was not an accident, but the work of the World Government, wasn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Robin couldn't help but look at Loki, who was standing there in a daze, with a strange gaze.

Kane was right again.

The problem is, isn't this a secret that even giants don't know about?

Just how much secret information does Kane know?

Loki was unaware of Robin's thoughts; Kane's earth-shattering words had already stirred up a storm within him.

"Was it that old man, Yaru, who told you?"

Loki instinctively guessed, "Has that old guy regained his memories?"

The only witnesses to that tragedy, besides himself, were Aruru, who accompanied him to meet his father.

If Aruru hadn't suffered a head injury and lost his memory during the incident, he wouldn't have had to flee Elbaf with the stigma of patricide.

Kane shattered his illusions, confidently stating, "Not yet, but I might have a way to make him remember."

Since Aruru's amnesia was caused by the sword on his head, why not just take it off?

As for how to retrieve it?

Is there anyone more suitable than Law, who possesses the power of the Op-Op Fruit?

If that doesn't work, then add the Healing Fruit. With a two-pronged approach, he refuses to believe that he can't protect one Aruru.

Seeing Loki still hesitating, Kane unleashed his ultimate move: "Loki, haven't you realized it yet? You weren't born in the wrong era, you were born at the right time!"

With just one sentence, Loki was instantly transported back to memories from decades ago.

At that time, he pleaded to join the Rocks Pirates, but was ruthlessly rejected by them on the grounds that he was "too young".

Breaking free from his memories, Loki looked at the arrogant and unruly man before him, who was just as proud and unrestrained as Rocks, and sneered, "Do you think you're Rocks? He was far more powerful than you."

“Rocks? No, I never wanted to be the second Rocks! He was a loser!”

Kane spread his arms wide, exuding an aura of power as if he wanted to embrace the entire world: "The only person I've ever wanted to be is Kane! The one and only Kane!"

Golden sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell precisely on him, as if gilding him with a sacred halo.

Loki lowered his head and fell into a long silence.

Is now truly the best time for me to join the surging tide of destiny?

Has the era I've been longing for, the one that can overturn everything, truly arrived?

The man before him had truly defeated him. Could he be the next Rocks?

No, he will not become Rocks!

He is Kane!

When Loki raised his head again, all the confusion and struggle in his eyes had faded, leaving only a rock-solid determination: "If you cannot fulfill my dream, I will abandon you at any time."

As long as it can destroy the world and fulfill my destiny, what does it matter if I get on this man's ship!

Kane smiled confidently: "It's a deal!"

"Huh?"

The others were so shocked their eyes almost popped out.

You actually managed to get him on board.

"Wait, there's no room for him on our ship!" Violet was the first to jump out, pointing at Loki's massive body and shouting.

This giant is at least sixty or seventy meters tall, and when it lies flat, it's almost as long as the Rayquaza!

The raft he had been on had long been reduced to dust in the previous fierce battle, and not even a decent plank could be found.

"That's the question."

Kane smiled slightly, turning his gaze to the gentle girl beside him, "It all depends on Hiyori's abilities."

"Huh? Me?"

Hiyori Kozuki pointed to herself, looking surprised, but quickly realized that Kane was referring to her ability to create cloud of flames.

"Let's use the Flame Cloud to get him away from here first, and then we'll figure out how to build a temporary raft for our new partner."

Kane explained Loki's situation clearly in just a few words.

Once back in Elbaf, Loki can have a skilled giant shipwright build him a custom-made warship befitting his status.

"leave?"

"Did you even ask my opinion?!"

A roar like that of a demon, carrying a chilling pressure, suddenly exploded from afar!

Kane looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old woman with an unusually plump figure and a height of eight or nine meters, who was riding on a white cloud at an astonishing speed, her face contorted with rage and her mouth wide open.

At her feet stood three imposing, tall figures.

It was Charlotte and her family who rushed over upon hearing the news.

Chapter 176 Charlotte Linlin's Invitation

In the blink of an eye, Charlotte and her family appeared before everyone.

Upon seeing Loki, who was bound by Seastone chains and resembled a small mountain, Charlotte Linlin's ferocious expression instantly melted away, switching to a gentle and warm demeanor.

He can be called a master of face-changing.

"Mommy, Mommy, Loki, you don't seem to be feeling well. Let Aunt Lingling help you!"

Charlotte Linlin spoke gently and smiled kindly, like a caring old lady next door, but her words left Loki no room to refuse.

As she spoke, Napoleon, understanding perfectly, automatically jumped down from the double-horned pirate hat on her head.

It transformed in mid-air into a giant sword, which landed steadily in Charlotte Linlin's palm.

Battle is imminent!

At this critical moment, Kane stepped forward and stood between Loki and Charlotte Linlin.

He smiled nonchalantly, "You're too late. Loki is my partner now, he doesn't need your help anymore."

Upon hearing this, Charlotte Linlin's kind smile instantly froze.

Are you late?

You translate this for me, what the hell do you mean by "I'm fucking late"?!

Her lips twitched involuntarily, and she forced a twisted smile, attempting one last plea: "Loki, tell Aunt Lingling, were you forced into this? Were they threatening you? Tell me, and Auntie will definitely stand up for you!"

In her view, Loki had just been beaten so badly by Kane, and upon hearing such "heartwarming" words, wouldn't he immediately be moved to tears and turn against Kane?

However, Loki's reaction was far beyond her expectations.

He turned his head dismissively and loudly urged the Beast Pirates around him, who were intimidated by the big woman's imposing manner and somewhat at a loss, to quickly unlock the chains binding him.

They completely ignored Charlotte Linlin's "good intentions".

He's reckless but not stupid.
