One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

Having already made the choice and boarded Kane's ship, there's no reason to waver anymore.

Charlotte Linlin's child-rearing tricks were ineffective on him.

Loki's roar jolted the Beast Pirates awake, and they quickly and efficiently began unlocking the device.

Charlotte Linlin's expression froze instantly, and a surge of anger, like a volcano being ignited, exploded in her heart!

How many years!

For so many years, no one has dared to ignore her words!

With his chains released, Loki, having regained his strength, got up from the ground, picked up his warhammer, and shouted at Kane, "Let's get going! We've had a fight, I'm starving, I'm going to have a good meal!"

Are you hungry?

Upon hearing this, Charlotte Linlin's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

It's good to be hungry!

She forcefully suppressed her almost bursting anger, put on a seemingly enthusiastic smile again, and extended the invitation in a loud voice:

"Mom, Mom! Since you've come from afar and set foot in the seas of all nations, why don't I, your old mother, show you the hospitality of a host and give you a proper welcome? Perfect timing, I'm going to host a grand tea party!"

Ok?

Cracker, standing to the side, looked puzzled upon hearing this.

Isn't the tea party still several months away from the scheduled time?

He subconsciously glanced at Katakuri and Smoothie beside him, and seeing that his brother and sister were both calm and showed no reaction, he suppressed his questions and remained silent.

"tea party?"

Kane's companions behind him were all stunned, exchanging bewildered glances, wondering what Charlotte Linlin was up to.

They had naturally heard of the so-called tea party.

That was the Big Mom Pirates' most important annual group activity, equivalent to an annual year-end party.

It's fine if you don't attend the company's year-end party, but if you receive an invitation to Big Mom's tea party and dare to skip it...

Heh, just wait to die.

But the problem is, it's only the beginning of the 1518th year of the Haiyuan calendar, what kind of tea party are you holding?

Besides, we are not your subordinate forces.

It seemed that he saw through everyone's doubts, or perhaps it was to show Loki how much he "valued" him.

Charlotte Linlin exclaimed, "Mommy, Mommy! Just entertaining His Highness the Prince of Elbaf is enough to warrant a special tea party!"

If I can build a good relationship with Loki, the giant prince, and have him act as a mediator, my relationship with Elbaf will definitely take a turn for the better.

At that time, obtaining the coveted power of the giants will no longer be an unattainable dream!

The group of friends all turned to look at Kane, awaiting his decision.

Seeing that even Loki subconsciously looked at Kane, appearing to follow his lead, Charlotte Linlin was practically driven mad with envy.

On what grounds?!

The two who were fighting to the death just a moment ago are now listening to this kid Kane!

Why didn't I receive this kind of treatment when I was a child?!

All I did was accidentally kill a few giants and destroy a village. Is it really necessary for you to hold a grudge against me until now?

She was the one who came first! She arrived in Elbaf first, and she made friends with the Titans first!

Now, that bastard Kane beat her to it and stole the friendship that should have belonged to her—the giant prince!

Kane stole her life!

Growing angrier the more she thought about it, Charlotte Linlin's face gradually darkened, her eyes narrowed dangerously, and her gaze swept over Kane like a cold blade: "Mommy, Mommy! You're not thinking of refusing my 'good intentions,' are you?"

His words were full of threat.

Kane wasn't intimidated by her and calmly replied, "What if I say no? Should I take action?"

Although he and Loki are both severely injured and their fighting strength has been greatly reduced, at this moment, he absolutely cannot back down in terms of momentum.

Seeing Kane's firm stance, Charlotte Linlin surprisingly toned down her frightening aura.

A bright smile returned to her large face: "How could that be? Kaido and I are like inseparable siblings! He still owes me a huge favor. Naturally, our two families have a natural cooperative relationship!"

That's a lie.

Kaido clearly obtained the Azure Dragon Fruit through his own skill in a sneak attack, yet it ended up becoming a favor to you.

Kane muttered to himself.

But despite his complaints, as far as he knew, Kaido himself still acknowledged the favor to some extent.

But just how heavy is this favor? Only heaven knows.

"A troublesome kid..."

Seeing that Kane remained unmoved, Charlotte Linlin gritted her teeth inwardly, but still maintained a smiling expression on her face: "Kane, can we talk alone?"

Now we've finally arrived at the practical part.

Kane remained calm and said, "Of course."

"Kane?"

His companions immediately looked at him with concern.

After that battle, it's clear to anyone with eyes that Kane's condition is far from good.

If Charlotte Linlin were to launch a sneak attack, things might really get out of hand!

Kane simply waved his hand casually, his tone reassuringly confident: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

“That’s right,” Charlotte Linlin agreed with a smile.

Her massive frame leaned forward slightly, her gaze sweeping over Kane's handsome face, a barely concealed hint of covetousness flashing in her eyes: "How could I possibly bear to fight this kid?"

Kane instinctively shivered.

Why don't you just lay a hand on me? That way I might feel better.

Suppressing their discomfort, the two flew into the sky and began a private conversation.

"Kid! Listen up."

The moment she was out of the people's hearing range, Charlotte Linlin immediately dropped all pretense; any remaining kindness vanished without a trace.

“I know you have business dealings with that guy Tesoro. I can make sure your business has unimpeded access to all the islands of Whole Cake Island, and the Big Mom Pirates will protect your business!”

Then, she abruptly changed the subject, her threat obvious: "But if you don't agree... Hmph, I will not only completely block your business within the entire kingdom, but I will also inform all my affiliated forces to join forces and wipe out your business!"

Good grief, you're making cards out of thin air, huh!

You might as well change your name to Donald Ringling.

Kane hadn't expected that Charlotte Linlin, after eating and drinking her fill, would still be quite sharp-witted.

However, do you really think you can get something for nothing with just empty promises and threats?

That's incredibly naive.

Kane shrugged, his face displaying an expression of utter sincerity and helplessness: "Loki is my dearest friend and brother. How could I betray him for my own benefit?"

"Are you still going to refuse me? Don't forget, your current state... isn't very good."

Charlotte Linlin gripped Napoleon's hand tightly, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

If it weren't for the fear of a complete breakdown in her relationship with Loki, she would have already taken action against Kane for being so disrespectful.

Kane seemed oblivious to her threat and said slowly, "What I mean is, it has to be more money!"

"The huge favor Kaido owed me before is now wiped clean!"

Charlotte Linlin gritted her teeth.

Unexpectedly, Kane scoffed, "Don't joke around. I know exactly how much your so-called favors are worth. Let's get down to business."

Charlotte Linlin was taken aback.

How does this kid know so much?

Is his relationship with Kaido really that good? Kaido even revealed such old details?

"Then what do you want?"

Charlotte Linlin suppressed her surging anger and squeezed out these words through gritted teeth.

"In addition to the two conditions you just promised, I also want territory."

Kane held up five fingers, his eyes sharp: "Five islands. We can't use deserted islands to make up the numbers. There must be at least 10,000 permanent residents on each one."

Five?! You're insane!

Charlotte Linlin refused without hesitation.

In the entire Wan Kingdom, there are only about forty islands of this level. This kid wants to take one-eighth of them right off the bat.

dream!

“One!” Charlotte Linlin held up one finger, warning, “Kid, don’t push your luck! Getting an island for free by attending a tea party—this kind of windfall doesn’t happen every day!”

Kane countered, "Three seats! That's my bottom line."

Charlotte Linlin remained silent for a moment, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and agreed.

If we lose territory, we can just take it back.

If you miss Loki, who knows when you'll get another chance.

"In exchange, you must fully cooperate with my arrangements until the tea party is over!"

"make a deal."

Seeing Charlotte Linlin's murderous look, Kane knew that the price had been pushed to her limit, so he decided to stop while he was ahead and agreed.

"Hmph! Then I'll go back and prepare for the tea party."

Charlotte Linlin seemed to get angry even if she looked at Kane for a second, and glared at him fiercely, "Remember your promise!"
