One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

He had completely given up the idea of ​​fighting that monster.

The moment I lay down, I felt the world expand before me!

Chapter 182 Return to Wano Country! The Heart Pirates' Trail!

Within a few days, everyone had completely gotten used to having a top-notch pastry chef on board.

Since Chiffon was added to the menu, afternoon tea time has quickly become the most anticipated regular activity for the girls on the ship.

Countless regional delicacies from around the world were replicated with her skillful hands and Sanji's exquisite assistance, and presented stunningly on the dining table of Rayquaza.

Liekong, also known as Little Wan Guo.

It must be said that Charlotte Linlin's years of plundering and extortion have been remarkably successful; almost every dessert recipe from around the world can be found in the World's cookbook.

Now, these precious gourmet recipes have all come to Kane and his people at a bargain price.

After a period of sailing, the Reckoning Star finally returned to the waters of Wano Country.

Kane received an unprecedented, almost fanatical welcome.

Almost all the Beast Pirates members who were on Onigashima and had nothing to do spontaneously flocked to the port.

"Kane! Kane! Kane!"

The moment Kane appeared at the ship's side, a deafening roar swept across the entire Ghost Island.

The pirates were so excited that they raised their hands high, jumped and cheered, and some even had tears in their eyes.

How dazzling, Lord Kane!

"The Fifth Emperor! The Fifth Emperor! The Fifth Emperor!"

The pirates roared with all their might, as if they were worshipping an idol.

With his glorious victory over Charlotte Linlin, Kane's prestige among these pirates who believe in the supremacy of the strong has almost rivaled that of Kaido himself.

Even Jin's position as vice-captain seemed to be beginning to waver.

"The title of 'Five Emperors' should never be mentioned again."

Faced with this overwhelming praise and adulation, Kane simply shook his head and sighed, "Alas, you've really ruined my life."

"Kane, you're really popular here."

Loki, carrying his giant hammer, stepped onto the dock and was astonished to see the scene that resembled welcoming a god.

Even in Elbaf, his father had never received such fervent adoration from the giant warriors.

"Wow, what a giant! It's comparable to the Barbarian King, but its aura seems even stronger?"

"Idiot! Don't you even recognize him? That's the 'Cursed Prince' Loki! A super pirate with a bounty of 2.6 billion Berries! Even Lord King might not be his match!"

Only then did the pirates notice the figure beside Lord Kane that resembled a moving mountain.

With the help of those in the know, they quickly understood Loki's terrifying strength and astonishing bounty, leaving them all dumbfounded.

Even such a powerful figure can be brought under your command... Lord Kane, you still say you're not one of the Five Emperors?

Ghost Island, banquet hall.

After settling Loki and Chiffon, who had just boarded the ship, Kane came here to report the situation to Kaido.

Of course, the main communication was with Jin, the chief steward of all beasts.

As for Kaido...

Just be his mascot.

The Beasts Pirates will grow stronger on their own.

"I have sent Jack and his men to take over the five islands ceded by the Charlotte family. The initial defenses are expected to be completed within half a month."

Jin's voice remained calm and steady, revealing little emotion.

"The trade route in Elbaf has been opened, and the giants' goods have become well-known in the New World. Nearly 70% of the initial investment has already been recovered."

Despite his apprehension, before the falling out, Jhin remained as responsible as ever, without secretly sabotaging or slacking off because Elbaf was Kane's private sphere of influence.

Kane nodded in agreement.

Jhin is still as reliable as ever.

After a brief discussion about the recent affairs of the Beasts Pirates, King changed the subject and brought up another matter that Kane had specifically instructed him to handle.

"You asked me to keep an eye on Trafalgar Law's movements, and now I have news."

"According to the latest intelligence we have received, the last confirmed sighting of the Heart Pirates was on Notis Island in the North Blue."

Kaido, who had been silently drinking to himself, noticed a flicker of interest in his drunken eyes upon hearing the name: "Is there anything special about that kid?"

Kane didn't hide anything and answered, "He is a user of the Op-Op Fruit."

"I see."

Kaido suddenly realized what was going on, and without asking any more questions, he tilted his head back and took another gulp of wine.

The four words "surgical fruit" are enough to explain everything.

After all, that was a fruit worth five billion Berries.

It's even 400 million more than his bounty.

Jin couldn't help but glance at him slightly.

He hadn't expected that Kane would even have access to such top-secret information.

The results of the surgery were only briefly seen by the public, but they caused quite a stir.

The various factions fought over the matter, but he eventually disappeared without a trace, becoming an unsolved case.

Unexpectedly, this precious fruit was eaten by an unknown young pirate.

"If you want to find them, you'd better act as soon as possible."

Jin offered a reminder: "Intelligence indicates that their pirate ship is a high-performance submarine. If they remain submerged and do not land, it will be difficult to pinpoint their exact location."

Thanks!

Having obtained Luo's exact whereabouts, Kane didn't delay any longer. He waved and turned to leave the banquet hall.

Back at his lodgings on Ghost Island, Kane gathered his companions and announced his decision.

"So cunning!"

Yamato immediately puffed up his cheeks, huffing and puffing like an inflated pufferfish: "You actually want to abandon us and go on a trip by yourself!"

"Stop joking. This time we're going out to find someone, not to go on vacation. I'll try to finish this quickly."

Kane the Bear shrugged and smiled helplessly.

Besides, who said he went alone?

Shouldn't we also bring Violet along?

Without Violet's "Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit" ability, which covers an area of ​​thousands of kilometers, it might take him several months to find a elusive submarine on the vast ocean by himself.

"Hehe, now you know how useful I am~"

Violet stood with her hands on her hips, head held high in a smug manner, practically saying: "What good is being able to fight?"

"Alright, enough showing off. Let's get going, no time to lose!"

Kane said no more, grabbed Violet by the waist, transformed into a dragon, and flew into the sky, speeding towards the North Sea.

North Sea, the Kingdom of Lubniz.

This country, which once gave birth to the legendary explorer Montblanc Nolando, is now a famous tourist destination in the North Sea, thanks to its beautiful natural scenery and rich historical artifacts.

Thanks to the royal family's consistent support for exploration over the centuries, sending expeditions to all corners of the world, this kingdom has accumulated a wealth of precious artifacts and cultural heritage from around the globe.

Inside the largest national museum in the capital, visitors can experience a variety of exotic cultures and architectural wonders.

The museum has a grand layout, with exhibits arranged according to maritime areas and civilizations.

Here, you can see a model of the "Tree of Knowledge" library from Ohara in the West Blue; the golden scepter from Alabasta on the Grand Line; and even artifacts used by giants...

"Come and see, Luo! What a beautiful scepter! Are those inlaid with jewels?"

A large, snow-white bear, through the hard protective glass, pointed excitedly at the Alabasta golden scepter.

Upon hearing the sound, a man wearing a winter hat adorned with speckled fur, a long knife at his waist, and with a rather fierce-looking gaze strode over.

"Yes, the label next to it says that it's a ruby ​​from the island of Fas."

The man, Trafalgar Law, began to explain.

His tone was calm and patient, which contrasted sharply with his extremely menacing and fierce gaze.

Having satisfied his curiosity, Bepo the polar bear nodded and was about to turn around to admire the other exhibits.

However, it was clearly startled when its gaze inadvertently swept over a silvery-white, exquisitely carved amber-lead statue.

Bepo almost instinctively moved his body, blocking Law's view from the statue.

"Th-that... Luo!"

Bepo's voice was a little nervous, and his furry paws pointed to the other end of the exhibition hall: "I suddenly want to see the exhibits over there! Will you come with me?"

Luo was somewhat confused, but seeing Bepo's slightly unusual behavior, he nodded casually.

His trip was mainly to help his friends relax; he himself wasn't particularly interested in these kinds of cultural relic exhibitions.

For him, spending time here was far less appealing than returning to the ship to read more medical books.

Just as Law was about to turn and leave in accordance with Bepo's wishes, and Bepo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the voices of a man and a woman entered their ears at just the right moment.

“Kane, look at this… Is this amber lead product from Frevenst? The luster is so beautiful, like moonlight.”

"It is beautiful, but it is also the source of all the misfortunes in Flevans."

Ok?

What is the source of the disaster?

Luo's steps seemed to be nailed to the spot, and he suddenly stopped.
