One Piece: Rayquaza of the Beasts Pirates

Haildin excitedly rushed out of the group and roared at his younger brother on the raft: "You bastard! You've finally been caught!"

Loki, unfazed by his brother's anger, laughed instead: "Hayldin, it's been so long, and you're still so weak. You haven't improved at all."

"You!" Halding was so angry that his face turned red, his fists clenched, but he couldn't refute it.

"Alright, that's enough of your 'greetings', you two brothers."

Kane spoke up at the right moment, preventing the conflict from escalating, and then asked Redding, "Where is Elder Aruru?"

Reading replied respectfully, "I have already sent word that the Elder will be here shortly. King Kane, have you returned to formally try Loki?"

Kane shook his head: "Let's postpone Loki's trial for now. Before that, there's something more important to do—I need to help Elder Aruru remove that troublesome sword from his head."

Before everyone had to wait long, Elder Aruru, whose beard was as long as a waterfall, arrived at the port.

Kane briefly introduced his medical team to the giants who had gathered.

"With them here, they will definitely be able to safely remove the sword from your head."

Kane spoke to Yaruru with certainty.

“King Kane, isn’t this…isn’t this too risky? Elder Aruru is so old.”

"A giant hesitated," one of the giants said.

His concerns represent the thoughts of many giants.

If a system can run, it should be left undisturbed if possible.

This is a truth that even giants understand.

"I want to heal Elder Yaru's injuries, but there's another, more important reason..."

Kane paused, his expression solemn: "Reveal the truth behind the murder of King Harald!"

"what?!"

The giants present were all in an uproar.

Wasn't this matter already settled in Elbaf?

The killer is Loki, how could it be false?

Haildin said anxiously, "King Kane, please don't be fooled by this guy! He's a complete villain."

Upon hearing this, many giants nodded subconsciously, their gazes towards Loki filled with disgust and distrust, clearly indicating that they had suffered at his hands in the past.

Violet and the others instinctively turned their gazes toward Loki, who was being condemned by everyone.

What terrible things did you do in the past to make your people, who should have supported you, hate you to this extent?

Loki simply snorted dismissively, crossed his arms, and acted as if he didn't care at all.

He doesn't care about the attitude of these weaklings.

However, Aruru, one of the parties involved, stroked his long, snow-white beard and said slowly with some hesitation, "Although I have forgotten what happened back then, for some reason, I don't seem to have any hatred for Loki."

Perhaps King Kane is right. There might truly be more to the story than meets the eye back then.

“Elder Yaru! How could even you…” Haildin frowned, unable to understand.

"Perhaps we have another witness who can provide some clues."

Kane turned his gaze to the outer edge of the crowd and waved in a certain direction: "Mr. Jabba, you were there that day, weren't you?"

"Ah Shan, is this true? You've never mentioned it to me before!"

Lipley looked at her husband in surprise.

"You even know about this kind of thing... I guess I really shouldn't have come here today."

Jabba gave Kane a meaningful look, scratched his wild, graying hair, and stepped forward with a wry smile: "Shanks and I were indeed nearby that day. Although we didn't witness the whole thing, I did feel an unusual aura of dominance when we arrived at the scene."

"That domineering aura doesn't belong to any giant warrior I know. On the contrary, it's quite similar to an enemy I know..."

"Who is it?" Haildin asked impatiently.

Jabba, however, played the riddle-maker: "We can't say for sure who it is right now. If Aruru's memories return, you'll find out naturally."

"If his memory cannot be restored... then you know that it will not do Elbaf any good, but may instead bring unnecessary trouble."

Haildin was speechless with anger at these words, his eyes wide with rage, yet he was helpless.

Kane concluded, "Then, things are clear. We should be able to reach a consensus on prioritizing Elder Aruru's treatment, right?"

Although people still had doubts, they no longer voiced their opposition.

Soon, the group moved to a small tavern near the port.

The plaza in front of the tavern was spacious enough for the medical team to work freely.

"Then I'll leave it to you all. Go ahead and do it! Don't be afraid, I've lived enough. If I die, I die. Don't have any psychological burden."

Elder Yaru lay down calmly in the central open space, a magnanimous smile on his face.

"ROOM!"

With Luo's low shout, a huge, semi-transparent spherical space suddenly unfolded.

He swung the demon sword, Oni-Ku, and used his power to slice off Aruru's head along the edge of the greatsword.

"It's cut off!"

This horrifying scene caused the giants watching to gasp in shock, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

If they hadn't seen Elder Yarulu alive and well with their own eyes, they would have almost been unable to resist the urge to rush up and settle scores with Luo.

On the contrary, the person in question, Yaruru, was quite pleased with himself.

Seeing his severed head, he still had the mind to laugh: "So this is what my brain looks like inside."

Without a moment's delay, the medical team immediately gathered around and began to carefully examine the specific condition inside Yaru's brain.

They exchanged opinions in hushed tones, pointing with their fingers, and the discussion continued for quite some time before gradually subsiding.

"How is it going?" Kane asked as they finished their discussion.

Kureha took a swig of plum wine: "Good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

Kane glanced at her helplessly: "Get to the point."

"Boring."

Kureha pursed her lips and stopped keeping them in suspense: "Good news, with Law's Ope Ope no Mi (Operation Fruit) ability, which is considered unfair, we can remove that sword with minimal trauma and cost. Plus, with the little princess's healing ability as a backup, the success rate of the surgery is theoretically very high."

"The bad news is that retrieving the sword requires extremely precise operation. Luo must maintain his abilities while concentrating all his energy on separating the sword. This will be a huge drain on his physical and mental strength."

"The surgery could very well be interrupted at the most critical moment because he is too weak, which would be disastrous."

To Kureha's surprise, Kane didn't look troubled at all after hearing this. Instead, he thoughtfully stroked his chin and said, "In other words, as long as Luo's physical strength and mental state can keep up and maintain his best condition, this surgery can be completed smoothly, right?"

“That’s correct in theory,” Kureha affirmed.

"That makes things simple."

Kane grinned and snapped his fingers. "Big Bear! It's time for you to shine!"

In situations where continuous "recharging" is required, the Paw-Paw Fruit's abilities are a perfect fit.

The final piece of the surgical plan has now been completed.

Preparations were completed quickly.

The medical team connected Yaru to a specially formulated nutrient solution and vital sign monitoring equipment, tailored to the proportions of giants.

This is the "operating room".

Under Kureha's guidance, Law began to manipulate his abilities, carefully separating the greatsword that was tightly attached to and almost grown into Aluru's brain tissue, blood vessels, and even skull.

The power of time is terrifying; the sword's blade has long been entangled with flesh and nerves.

To minimize damage to brain tissue, Luo had to be extremely cautious, which undoubtedly took a huge toll on his mental energy.

Fortunately, a big bear was waiting nearby.

Whenever Luo felt slightly disoriented or his physical strength began to decline, the bear waiting nearby would step in and flick away his fatigue.

Meanwhile, Kane, who was standing nearby, was not idle either. He casually inhaled the pink bear paw-shaped bubble into his body.

The three of them achieved a complete production-transportation-absorption chain.

With the help of the two, Luo transformed into a tireless "nuclear-powered surgical donkey".

From the time the sun is high in the sky to the time when the stars fill the night, he has never stopped working.

The delicate and dangerous surgery proceeded steadily with an unconventional and consistently high efficiency.

Finally, just as the first hint of dawn appeared on the eastern horizon, the greatsword that had been deeply embedded in Aruru's brain for many years was completely extracted by Law using his abilities.

"Success!"

The giants, who had been holding their breath and watching the surgery intently, finally couldn't help but cheer softly when they saw this.

He truly lives up to his title as King Kane.

They accomplished something that the giants couldn't do for years right from the start!

"Shut up! Don't make any noise and disturb us!"

Kureha turned her head sharply and glared at the cheering giants.

In her presence, there are no giants or not.

Only patients and doctors.

The powerful old woman's glare made the burly giants tremble involuntarily. They quickly covered their mouths, nodded repeatedly, and dared not make a sound.

Kureha then turned back with satisfaction and assisted Law in piecing back together the brain tissue that had been cut open to retrieve the sword.

After more than an hour of highly focused and meticulous operation, the last piece of brain tissue was perfectly placed back in its original position.

"Princess Mansherry, from now on, it all depends on you."

Luo let out a long, deep breath, his tense body relaxing slightly, his face showing exhaustion and haggardness.

Even with the bear constantly slapping him until he was exhausted, maintaining the high intensity of the Surgery Fruit ability and performing extremely precise brain operations for nearly twenty consecutive hours was an unprecedented test of his mental and physical strength.

As my mind relaxed, the suppressed feeling of exhaustion washed over me like a tidal wave.
